Mario's foible was smoking. As
smoking was forbidden at the thea

until the clause which made him an
exception to the rule was inserted
He would have his valet waiting in
the wings with a match and a cigar
and would rush off the stage, take
a few whifs and then return to a
tender love scene. The cigars that
he smoked cost him half a crown,

they followed his carriage, cheering,
he would have a handful of coins

Traes 10 Rant.

"When | read on the business
card of a decorator the legend,
Trees to rent | was curious to
know more about it and made in
quiries," said an in9uisitive man.
81 learned that one could rent
trees in this city at $50 a tree for
an occasion. The kind most in de-
mand is the bay laurel, which in an
cient times was held sacred to Apol-
10. These trees are raised in a large
transportable box and stand about
ten feet high. A pleasant aromatic
odor is given off by the leaves. The
tree is symbolic of victory in the
arts of peace as we'll as victory in
war. One man in this city has found
a good business in maintaining a
nursery of these scented bays."-

Tho ESKIMO Doc.

The lot Of an Eskimo dog is a
hard one. In the first place he has
to earn his living by drawing
sledges. In the next place food is so
scarce that a dog is usually hungry,
often hungry enough to eat his har-
ness, or, indeed, any bits of skin
and leather he can find. To prevent
this the men rub the leather cords
with tar. But in order to live at all
an Eskimo dog has to fight his way.
Whenever a pack of dogs get to-
gether they fight. The weak ones
are driven away or killed. The
strongest and fercest one, who "a
thrash any or all of the others, is
known as the king dog. He has the
best place to lie on and his choice of
the food. A single growl from him
is like a growl from an emperor
whom all are ready to obey.

Why Sixty Minutes Made an Hour

The hour is divided into sixty
minutes because in old Babylon
there existed, by the side of the
decimal system of notation, anoth-
er system, the s~exagesimal. which
counted by sixties. There is no
number which has so many divisors
as sixty. The Babylonians divided
the suns daily journey into twenty.
four parasangs, each parasang, or
hour, being divided into sixty min
utes. The parasang is about equal
to a German mile. and the Baby
lonians compared the progress
made bv the sun during one hour
to the progress made by a good
walker during the same time.

tiers In the Atlantic.
The Saragossa sea owes its exist
ence to the great ocean rivers that
encircle it. On the charts this huge
system of ocean rivers forms an IT.
regular circle. In the center OF 1t is
a great ellipse more than 1000
miles east and west and 1000 north
and south. It is like a vast lake in
the center of the Atlantic, but one
whose shores are ever moving
waters instead of stable land. 1t is
like the calm center of an immense
whirlpool. The far off deep sea cur
rents that sweep around its clrcum-
ference do not disturb the stagnant
waters within its boundaries. These
weed covered waters are forever
placid, except at rare intervals when
some vagrant storm swoops down
from the heavens and rufles their
surface. The atmosphere above is
usually as calm as the seas below.
The great rivers of the air, the
trade winds, pass this region by.
All sorts of small aquatic and in
sect life flourish around the borders
of the Sargasso sea-. There are num-
berless varieties of fish, molluscs,
shrimps, crabs and water fcas. AL
most invariably this life takes on
the protective color of the masses of
yellow weeds in which it lives.
Some of these inhabitants of the
Sargasso sea are found nowhere
else. There is a transparent shrimp
that has wondrous eyes on the end
of long pedicels. These eyes are
many faceted and each facet sheds
a brilliant greenish light and spark
les like a splendid gem. The water
feas are extraordinary also. Some
are totally blind, while others go to
the opposite extreme and are nearly
all eye. Even the fishes are unique.
There are some that build nests in
which to hatch their young. They
form the weed into huge balls about
the size of a Dutch cheese. The fish
binds these together with glutinous
threads which it exudes from its
body. These threads are so strong
that a man cannot pull them apart
with his hands. One explorer who
brought up in a net one of these fish
nests found six small fish inside

Keeping House Is . laborious n
Difficult Business.

Housekeeping in Persia is a more
difficult undertaking than in west
ern countries. The chief reasons for
this are the lack of conveniences
and the fact that many things which
IN other countries can be bought
ready for use must be prepared by
the Persian housekeeper.
Do YOU want -four? You must
buv YOUR wheat, clean and sift it,
and send it to the miller, who lives
perhaps a days journey from you.
You must send with the wheat the
most trusty servant you have, who
will watch the miller day and night
to see that he does not take too
much toll. You ought of course to
send a second servant to watch the
first, but if YOU began that there
would be no end to the number you
would have to send.
Do you want sugar? Loaf sugar,
granulated sugar, powdered sugar
you cannot buy them. What you
can buy is a cone of sugar about ten
inches in diameter and eighteen
inches in height, which comes from
Russia or France. If you want Jumps
of sugar for your coffee and tea this
cone of sugar must be placed on the
solid floor and by means of a strong
knife and hammer broken into
pieces. If you want fine sugar these
pieces must be then ground with a
mortar and pestle. If you wish pow
dered sugar the fine sugar must be
sifted several times. Even in the
kitchen of a European, where a
table will be found, the cutting and
pounding of the sugar must be done
on the solid earthen floor.
The Persian range" is merely a
row of hollow boxes made of sun
dried bricks in which is built a char
coal fire. Over these boxes are
placed strips of iron on which the
kettle rests. Native cookery does
not include many things that are
baked, but if you, an eccentric for
eigner, demand a cake or pie your
ingenious cook will be equal to the
occasion. He will prepare beds of
glowing Goals in two of the boxes.
Over one of these he will place the
article to be baked. This he will
V with IA copper pan and on top
of the pan he will place hot Goals.
The object of the Goals in the sec
ond box is that the cook may be
able to renew the fire in the first
box without putting on fresh coal,
which might smoke.
Most Persian implements are very
heavy and awkward to handle. For
example, cooking utensils are of
copper and bowls for washing
clothes are Of earthenware. The
bowls are small and shallow. The
washerwoman has no bench on
which to place the bowl and no
board on which to rub the clothes.
Squatted on her heels, with the
bowl on the floor, she wears out her
hands and the clothes, too, at a
marvellous rate. II looks rather
primitive to see a woman sitting be-
side a watercourse pounding clothes
with q stone hut am not sure that
this method. which is universally
employed by the poorer people, is
not to be preferred to the other
Los Angeles Times.

fatty and obstinately refused to take
his medicine. After a somewhat pro-
longed and Intellectual argument with
him, his mother at last set the glass
of medicine down, leaned her head on
her hands and played that she was
crying.
A moment passed, and the tender
hearted Teddy, unable longer to bear
the sight of his mothers stricken atti-
tude, inquired, What's the matter,
mother dear?"
Without removing her hands from
her eyes, she replied: I'm grieved
that my son won't take his castor oil

-Four years ago l suffered severely
with terrible eczema, being a mass
of sores from head to feet and for six
weeks confined to my bed. During
that time l suffered continual tor
ture from itching and burning. After
being given up by my doctor was ad-
vised to try Cuticura Remedies. After
the first bath with Cuticura Soap and
application of Cuticura Ointment l en-
joyed the first good sleep during my
entire illness. / also used Cuticura
Resolvent and the treatment was con-
tinued for about three weeks. At the
end of that time / was able to be
about the house, entirely cured, and
have felt no i'll effects since. l would
advise any person suffering from any
form OF skin trouble to try the Cuti-
cura Remedies as l know what they
did for me. Mrs. Edward Nenning,

Victorian Gods.

II Thackeray, with a brain weigh
ing $50 ounces, had the biggest head
among Victorian writer's, who had the
best features? The choice would
seem to lie between Tennyson and
Henry Taylor. THAT man must be
a poet" remarked one of his Cam
bridge contemporaries when he first
saw Tennyson come into the hall at
Trinity, and another friend describes
him in his undergraduate days as six
feet high, broad chested, strong
limbed, his face Shakespearian, with
deep eyelids, his forehead ample,
crowned with dark, wavy hair, his
head finely poised, his hand the ad-
miration of sculptors. But time dealt
none too gently with Tennyson, where
as Henry Taylor, always distin-
guished looking man, seems to have
grown singularly majestic with years.
Grant Duff, meeting him when he
was over so, notes that Taylor looks
more like Jupiter than ever" and con.
temporary memoirs are full of refer
ences to his Jovelike appearance.
