INTRODUCTION ANNOYED HER
Naughty Little Miss Shows Her Re
sentiment When Presented to Q
Terrier.

There 10 . little East End girl. still
under six, who reaches the limit IN the
matter of sensitiveness. Likewise.
she has her points in respect to dead
gameness. She was taken out to Lake
wood about a week ago to spend =
few days with her aunt The little
Miss played around in front Of her
aunt's place for awhile. Then her
aunt let a playful young terrier into
the yard, saying to the child:
This is your little four-footed cou-
sin
Five minutes later the aunt returned
to the front yard to call the kid into
the house, but she wasn't anywhere
to be seen. The fox terrier was play
ing alone. There was a scrambling
hunt for the child. and all kinds OF
alarm, but the little girl didn't turn
UP. The aunt hustled to town. The
little girl was home with her mother
She had walked right to the car for
town as soon as the fox terrier pup
was presented to her.
why didn't you stay at aunty's!
her mother asked her in surprise.
she introduced me to dog" 70

Bank With ROYAL Depoeitera.

The English banking world is con-
graduating itself upon the receipt of a
large and acceptable account. In fact,
King Manuel of Portugal has honored
the house of Coutts on the Strand with
the deposit of his private fortune. and
England is so much richer for Manuel's
loss. This firm of Coutts Is remark
able establishment, by the way, for it
has attracted the patronage of nearly
all the royalty which has had occasion
to leave money in London. Every
English king from George II. to the
present George has kept his wealth in
their vaults, and Louis Philippe, the
shah of Persia and Leopold of Belgium
have all patronized the Coutts.

A PRAYER Ten Centuries Old.

Among the documents and manu-
scripts taken by the Pelliot mission OF
France from q cave in Chinese Turkes-
tan. where they had lain during ten
centuries. is . curious manuscript re-
corded by the French Academy OF Sch
ences. The manuscript Is In one OF the
oldest known Hebrew texts. 1t is q
prayer formed OF passages taken from
the Psalms and from the prophets,
written in beautiful square Hebrew,
with a very rudimentary system OF vo-
caliZation.
Evidently the manuscript was car
ried on the person of the man who
owned it. Hebrew scholars believe that
the document dates from the eighth or
ninth century of the Christian era, and
that it belonged to a pious Jewish mer-
chant of Arabia. No such paper was
known in Arabia in either the eighth
or ninth century, therefore 1t Is sup
posed that the manuscript was tran
scribed for its owner when he was In
China, where such paper was TO be
Weekly.

SPARE MINUTE FOR THE EYES
Nothing Gives Eyes Such cempssee
Rest ~ Habit Of Closing Them
Occasionally.

II you will spare . minute every
half hour to the eyes they may be
spared to you many years In conse-
quence.
A well-known oculist declares moth
ing gives the eyes such complete rest
as the habit Of closing them occasion
ally for Z minute or too. In threat
ened cases Of eyestrain he has some
times advised no other euro and the
patient has recovered his normal
sight.
Where one uses the eyes constant
ly. especially for close work. As the
woman who does fne sewing. en-
broidery or painting, the relief to eyes
Of lifting them from the work and
closing them while one slowly counts
twenty-five cannot be overestimated.
Another rest is to change the point
Of vision from time to time. Look
away from what you are doing and
gaze blankly into space. DO not at
tempt to concentrate on anything,
merely look out of the window or int
4 distant corner of the room.
Do not begrudge the time for this
eye resting. II is the best sort Of in
vestment you can make and will not
take half as much time or money a

counteraetIns Lack Of Sunshine.

A house built in Brooklyn was des-
ignated, as far as could be, to counter
act the lack OF sunlight, which the
houses situation made unavoidable.
The chief means for giving the i'm
preston of sunshine were yellow tint
ed walls and amber glass skylfghts.
Monotony in the yellow tones was
avoided because the location Of each
room offered some peculiar problem
which was best solved by a tint diff
ferent from that OF the rest OF the
house 1t is said that even on gray
days there was enough OF the stimu-

THREAD USED BY SURGEONS
Only Material for Buried
SUturo.

When Lister first advocated the en-
plsyment Of catgut as = material for
ligatures. numerous writer's pointed
out the objections. both theoretical
and practical. to the use Of this sub
stance. But time has seen q change
and many surgeons At the present
time maintain that the only suitable
material for . buried suture II cat
gut and that silk should never be
employed except for skin suturss.
In this. As In SO many other points.
the surgeon IL greater than the detail.
1t /. certain that millions Of silk su-
lures have been inserted In the deep
tissue, and have mot cut their way
out. for II Z suturs does make its way
to the surface 1t 10 probably always
because It was septic.
The attempt to find ligature or
suture perfect in every way has
caused surgeons to employ many DIFF
ferent substances. Metallic sutures
for a time received much support.
though they are rarely seen now.
Animal nbres Of various kinds. such
as kangaroo tendons and threads OF
the aorta Of the OK, have been praised
by some surgeons. and one surgeon
claimed that perfection was to be
found in fibres obtained from the liga-
mentunnuchae OF the narwhal. II 10
