Barred the Red Heels,

Once actors used to say that they
Were going Ito study a part for per-
formance;' now the saying is that one
"gets up in a part" which may be one
of the reasons why there were once
more studied performances than there
are now. As an example Of how much
can be safely left to the intelligence
of even tried actors is the case of the
Napoleonic play that Charles Frohman
was once rchearsing. In the midst of
the dress rehearsal an actress of sup
posed all around experience, cast for
one of the Paris street denizens, one
of the mob of revolutionists, was dis

leather shoes with jolly red heels mo,

"But they look ever so much prettier

wear red heeled shoes; get your color

makeup table, but not with red heels"

A Humble Hero.

tie Of Lake Erie. sentence terse and
yet glowing, We have met the en-
emy, and they are ours"
Every one remembers the great and
significant result Of the fight, but few
perhaps have heard Of one humble
worker who served his country just as

amid shot and shell, earning glory as
we'll as the reward of a good con-

Then he sat down by the pump and

who had more muscle and when the
fight was over there he was found
with a bullet through his heart.

Little Pitchers.

In certain small town there are
two young women whose favorite oc-
cupation has been to discuss the af-
fairs Of their neighbors. Having met
for that purpose one afternoon, they
found themselves blocked in the in.
diligence Of their pastime by the pres
ence Of the small daughter of the
hostess. A slight indisposition of
some sort prevented sending the child
out of doors, so they were forced to
put up with her presence. doing their
best, however, to nullify it.
Something eatsble was produced and
an absorbing new game invented
which she could play quite by herself,
so they breathed freely and began.
The talk at length reached a point
involving the latest scandal Of the
neighborhood and the retailing Of
some inside information which must
not become public property. A hurried
look at the child on the floor found
her apparently so occupied with her
game that it seemed quite safe to go
on II one observed a decent discretion.
Voices were accordingly lowered and
direct allusion yelled, but when the
matter had been thrashed out to their
satisfaction the child raised her eyes
and remarked with deliberation and
emphasis:

A Scrap Of Paper Treasured by the

A scrap of paper that carries one
back to the very atmosphere Of a
great decisive battle In the worlds
history is among the historical treas
ures Of Blenheim House. On the pa
per are dozen lines scribbled In pen
ell. They We're written by tie Duke
Of Marlborough at the close Of the
fierce struggle at Blenheim.
The tumult of battle was rolling
westward, where French and Bava-
rians were in disorderly retreat with
Marlborough's cavalry riding fiercely
in their rear. The slopes of the hill
and the marshy plain were strewn
with 10000 killed and wounded.
But Marlborough, with the excite
ment Of the great fight yet strong
within him. pulled up his horse on one
Of the little rustic bridges across the
Schwanbuch and scribbled these doz-
en- lines TO his wife in London to tell
her Of the great event.
Apparently the duke borrowed the
scrap Of paper from some member Of
his staff, for on the back Of 1t are the

to that serenely unshakable tempera-
ment that was Marlborough's most
striking characteristic. - New York

The ORIGINAL EncycIopedia,

The first real encyclopedia was
Pliny's Natural History" This work
was an extensive one, numbering some
thirty-seven volumes and dealing with
all the then known facts of the world.
Pliny, who died A. D. 70, collected the
data for his work in his leisure inter-
walls while engaged in public affairs.
The Natural History" was for its time
an amazing production, treated of some
10000 facts and was Of very high au-
thority throughout the entire middle
ages. Forty-three editions Of the work
were printed before the year 1886, and
no scholars library was considered
complete without it.-New York Amer

Justice at All Hours.

Despite their preference for a repub-
lican form of government, the French
are in some respects a conservative
nation. A Paris contemporary discoy-
cred that one of the doors of the pa
lais de justice is left ajar throughout
the night This door has never been
shut since March 4. 1913, when Louis
XIII. ordained that it should remain
perpetually open $50 that my subjects
may be able to seek justice at all
hours of the day and night" How
ever, an enterprising journalist who
presented himself at the door in the
small hours of the morning was
promptly elected by watchman. And
when he quoted the ordinance of 1913
the reply was, 'If you don't clear off
you'll find yourself coming in by the
prisoners door tomorrow"

- BRETON LASSES.
They Show No Regret In Parting With
Their Luxuriant Tresses.


A correspondent writes from Pom
tivy, Brittany, giving some interesting
facts of hair market" there. 1t Is
stated that in different parts of the
motley crowd there were three or four
different purchasers Of this commod-
fly, who travel the country for the
purpose of attending the fairs and buy
ing the tresses OF the peasant girls.
They have particularly fine hair and
frequently IN the greatest abundance.
There seemed to be no difficulty in
finding possessors of beautiful heads
Of hair perfectly willing to sell
I'VE saw several girls sheared, one
after the other. like sheep. and as
many more standing ready for the
shears with their caps in their hands
and their long hair combed out and
hanging down to their waists.
mo doubt the reason Of the indif-
ference to their tresses on the part Of
the fair Bretonnes is TO be found in
the invariable lnods which covers ev-
cry head from childhood upward with
close caps, which entirely prevent any
part of the hair from being seen and
of course as totally conceals the want
Of it. The money given for the hair Is

There is an old anecdote of Alexan-
der Pope concerning one of the old
watermen who We're employed for
many years in rowing Pope on the
Thames. Pope was in the habit Of
having his sedan chair lifted into the
punt. If the weather was fine he let
down the glasses; if cold he pulled
them up. He would sometimes say to
the waterman:
John, l am going to repeat some
verses. Take care to remember them
the next time l go out"
When that time came Pope would
say:
John, where are the verses l told
you of?'
II have forgotten them, sir"
John, you are a blockhead. I must
write them down for you"
John said that no one thought Of
saying when speaking Of him, "Mr.
Pope" but that he was always called
"Mr. Alexander"

THE FABLED PHOENIX.
Legend of How the Bird Lived and
Died and Lived Again.

Died and Lived Again.
The ancient tradition concerning the
phoenix has introduced into nearly ev-
cry language the habit Of applying that
name to whatever is singular or un-
common among its kind. According to
ancient writers. the phoenix was bird
of great beauty about the size of an
eagle. A shining and most beautiful
trest adored its head, its plumage con-
tanned nearly every tint of the, rain
bow, and its eyes sparkled like dia-
monds.
Only one Of these birds could live
at a time, but its existence covered a
period of 500 or COO years. When its
life drew TO a close the bird built for
itself a funeral pile # wood and aro-
matte spices, with its wings famed the
pile into a flame and therein consumed
itself From its ashes a worm was
produced, out of which another phoe-
nix was formed, having all the vigor Of
youth.

For that purpose 1t made ball of
myrrh. frankincense and other fra
grant things. At Heliopolis, city in
lower Egypt, there was a magnificent
temple dedicated to the sun To this
temple the phoenix would carry the fra
grant ball and burn it on the altar of
the sun as sacrifice. The priests then
examined the register and found that
exactly 500 years or exactly COO years
had elapsed since that same ceremony
had taken place.

1t is common TO hear men complain
of poorly made cigars, but 1t is not
always because cigar is indifferently
or badly made that the wrapper curls
up and comes Off Much oftener this
comes from the cigar having been
rolled by a makers left hand and later
smoked from the hand Of right
handed man. All cigarmakers must
use both hands equally well, and econ
omy both in time and material Is the
prevailing rule in tobacco factories.
When a piece Of tobacco is cut for the
wrapper it is cut on the bias and rolled
from left to right on the filler, and at
the same time and by the other hand
the remaining pieces are used, being
necessarily rolled in the opposite way.
For this reason the man who holds
cigar in his right hand, which always
gives few twists during the course
of a smoke, rubs the wrapper the
wrong way, and easily enough it be-

Old Geronimo would scarcely be sus-

sion the medicine chief gave me a
sample Of it, 1t was his custom in the
later years Of his life to watch for the

In order that he might sell beaded
canes to them. From the proceeds he
was accustomed to purchase certain
creature comforts not supplied by the
government, but on which he relied
for support in his old age. One day
was talking to him about them. He
said "They make me walk straight

put strength into me, and | lean on

Books on shelves may be seriously
injured If packed too tightly. When
quickly pulled out for use the top Of
the book is likely to come off. More
over, the constant pressure, If too
great, will loosen the whole back in
time and the friction in putting upon
and taking from the shelf mars the
covers. On the other hand, a reason
able amount of lateral pressure is
necessary. If placed on the shelves
too loosely the leaves tend to open
and admit dust, dampness and conse-
quent mildew. In the case Of heavy
volumes the weight of the leaves will
be found resting on the shelves if the
books are placed too loosely. This is
likely to make the backs concave.
Badly painted shelves are another
source of injury to books. Care should
be taken when paint or varnish is used
that the surface is perfectly smooth,
hard and dry when the books are put
in place and that the surface will re-
main so during variation of tempera-
ture or humidity.-House Beautiful.

Penknives.

Nowadays we use penknives princi-
pally for sharpening pencils. There
was Il time, however, when they were
used primarily for doing something
else. They used to be just what their
name would indicate-they were pen

made of goose quilts. just as our fore
fathers did up to about a hundred
years ago The quill pen was made
by hand, of course, and whenever the
point of one would break or lose its
elasticity 1t was up to the penman to
put new point or nib" on the quill.
This was done with a small knife, and
hence we have the word that has out

Historically speaking. there is q big
difference between the Magma Charta
and the bill of rights. The first was
obtained by the barons from King
John at Runnymede in June, 1915. the
other by the lords and commons from
the Prince and Princess of Orange in
16SS-S9.
Magma Charta will ever remain the
greatest Landmark in the constitution,
al history of England. but next to the
great charter wrung from John by
the barons must stand the bill of rights
that was so graciously acceded to by
King William.-New York American.
