AND now comes out a learned student of astronomy with a state ment that the much feared Halley's comet is nothing more than the guiding star of Bethlehem, which is said to be visible for the fourth time since the birth of Christ. It's first appearance is recorded in the worlds history the year Jesus was born, and since then in the years A. D. 51O; 1910; 14SO, and now in 1910. Of course we can excuse Haley and the other astronomers when we are positive of the fact that they did not observe the star of Bethlehem in 14SO or before. The star is said to be something over 54.SOO,OOO miles from the sun and will be plainly visible in all parts of the earth on April 1.

Figure It Out

A banker going home from his dinner saw a $10 bill on the curb stone. He picked it up and noted the number and went home to din- ner. While at his home his wife remarked that the butcher had sent a bill amounting to ten dollars. The only money he had with him was the bill he had found, which he gave to her and she paid it to the Butcher. The butcher paid it to the farmer for a calf, and the farmer paid it to the mercha nt, who, in turn. paid it to a washwoman. and she, owing the banker $10. went to the bank and paid the note. The banker recognized the bill az the one he had found and which up to that time. had paid $50 of debt. On careful investi. gation he discovered the bill was counterfeit. Now will some friend tell us what has been ' lost in this transaction and by whom, asks an unknown exchange.

What a Toad Enjoys.

There are few things more amusing
than to watch a toad submitting to the
operations Of a back scratching lie
will at first look somewhat suspicious
" at the twig which you are advanc-
ing toward him, but after two or three
passes down his back his manner I'M
dergoes a marked change, his eyes
close with an expression Of Infinite
rapture, he plants his feet wider apart
and his body swells out to nearly dou-
BILE its ordinary size. as If to obtain
by these means more room for enjoy
ment. Thus he will remain until you
make some sudden movement which
startles him or until he has had as
much petting as he wants. When, with
a puff of regretful delight, he will re-
duce himself to his usual dimensions
and hop away, bent once more on the
pleasures of the chase.

Fashions In Borneo.

According TO the rules of Borneoan
fashion it is deemed necessary to mold
ones limbs into more shapely form
than that bestowed by nature This Is
done really effectively by winding
strong brass wire round the ankles, the
wrists. under the knees and above the
elbows Of children. Growth at these
points is. in consequence. greatly ham
pered, with the result that the limbs
come to be deformed or, according 10
Dyak ideas. brought into proper shape.
The headdress consists Of a curious
headwork cap, and around his neck a
bridegroom to be wears bangles OF
plated fiber and strings Of cowrie
shells. These shells, by the way, as In
other parts Of the world, are used as
currency. A yard Of fiber or twenty
to thirty cowrie shells represent the
value of a penny. The white armlets
are made Of another species Of shells.

The Back of a Glove.

The meaning OF the three marks on
the back of glove and the clocks on
a stocking were two Of the little mys-
teries of dress explained at a lecture
on clothes In London. The lecturer
said that the three marks on the back
of a glove correspond to the fourchette
pieces between the fingers, and in Old,
en- days these pieces were continued
along the back of the hand, braid be-
ing used to conceal the seams a
somewhat similar origin was assign
ed to the ornamental clock on the
stocking. In the days when stockings
were made of cloth the seams came
where the clocks do now, the orna-
mentation then being used to hide the
seams. The useless little bow in the
leather band lining a mans hat IS a
survival Of the time when hat was
made by taking a piece Of leather, Dor
inc two holes through it and drawing
It up with q piece of string.
