n.r.S Nv tha Servant.

The amusing mistake once made b.
two Abyssinian delegates of the En-
ceror Menelek to France is narrated
by the Paris Gaulois. Awed by the
splendor Of his gold lace uniform and
the solemnity of his imposing man
ner, they mistook the usher at the
doer of the foreign ministers Office
for N. de Selves himself. As they
were brought into the anteroom the
usher was standing with his hands on
the door handle ready to announce
them. But at the sight Of his silver
chain his medals, his sword, his gold
topped cane and his three cornered
hat the Abyssinians could not be eA-
pected to know they were in the pres
ence Of mere servant So toWln3
low repeatedly. they approached hlnl
Slowly and with great respect until
they were within reach Of his coattalls'
which,. one on either side, they seized
in their hands and kissed. The usher
did not know what to do, but the ap-
pearance OF the minister relieved tho
situation.

Old Leather Bottles.

Leather bottles, or blackjacks, were
common in Europe two centuries ago.
The bottles were often made Of one
skin doubled up and closely stitched
together, leaving an aperture for the
neck. The thick piece between was
inserted for The slip. 1t was meant to
be slung at the back, a leather thong
passed through two loops placed on
either side of the neck, and it was SUI
fciently fat at the base to stand when
put down. The stopper was made OF
wood, horn or old leather. y good
deal of care was required in the prep
aration Of the leather, which had to be
oiled and worked with hammers to
make it supple and then washed with
q lye so that all the impurity was en-
tirely removed, leaving the leather
clean and dry. No moisture or air had
any effect on it. Blackjacks were, IN
fact, hagons made in various sizes
They were sometimes pitched inside.

A Hair 1riooer Constitution.

Some one has said that animals have
a hair trigger constitution, says Orlson
SWEET Marden in Success Magazine.
They go off on the slightest provoca-
ton, because they act from impulse.
They do not know how to control
themselves. The animal instinct dom
mates.
Self control is the first condition OF
ali achievement 1t is said that the
first sign Of insanity is the loss OF self
control. When 4 person is no longer
tie master of his own acts he IS not
only in danger, but any degree OF
achievement is impossible to him.
Every thought tends to result in an
act, so that thought always leads. The
mental attitude at any moment IS the
pattern which the life processes
weave. The lives Of many OF US are
grotesQue crazy quilts.

A feeling Of sadness accompanies the
discovery Of the first gray hairs, which,
unfortunately. are looked upon rs hecalds
of advancing age. Gray hairs, however,
are not always an indication Of advanc-
ing age. for many people have gray hairs
quite early in life. OF course, it is un-
natural, and indicates that there is some
thing wrong with the individual, and that
Nature needs assistance in correcting the
trouble. The same is true Of hair that
is constantly falling out and becoming
thinner every day. If everything is right

When Baronets Were Bold.

It was in the reign Of good King
James that baFonets first came into
existence. Today you could hardly tell
a baronet from a banker. But IN the
year 1911. when James !. needed ready
money and created 200 little barons'
to supply him with cash. they sWas-
gered about in their baldrics and sash
es and behaved in the courtllest OF
fashion. Each baronet in order to
Justify his title had to maintain a
small army Of thirty soldiers for three
years. In this way the crafty king
not only increased bis revenue. but
actually lightened his expenses.
It is not generally known that the
title of 'baronetess" has twice been
bestowed on women. One Of these was
the mother Of a Dutch general. The
other was a Nottingham lady named
Dame Maria Bolles, who won her way
into the good graces Of Charles !. and
received the title from his bands

On Swearing OF.

After Christmas comes New Years,
and swearing off. New Years is just
as good time as any other for swear
ing off. Considerable numbers of per-
sons throughout the world seem to re-
gard it as the best time Of all. The
usual swearer Off Of the Jan. l brand
confines his sacrifices to the liquor
habit, the tobacco habit and, though
less frequently, the swearing habit 1t
is very we'll to swear off swearing,
drinking and smoking, not to speak Of
chewing, and it is better still to stay
sworn off. But there are other swear
off possibilities which may be recon-
mended on New Years day or any
other day in the year. Here are few:
Why not swear off gossiping about
your neighbors in an unfriendly spirit?
Why not swear off speaking i'll Of
anybody at any time, anywhere, I'M
der any circumstances?
Why not swear Off being grouchy
and disagreeable and crusty and
crOtchety and cranky?
Why not swear off trying to take
advantage of your neighbor in bust
ness deal and swear on an attitude of
human brotherhood?
Why not swear off talking about
your own ills or troubles, since all Of
us have troubles of our own to occupy
our attention?
And why not swear off worrying
about things that can't be helped by
worry, but can be helped by looking ON
the sunny side?

The Chinese Hair Cut.


News comes across the Pacific that
the Chinese are getting ready for a
general hair cut; that they have de-
termined at last to surrender their
cues and wear their remaining hair
a Ia American. This is a far bigger
news story than it sounds Samson
Of Biblical times lost his strength
when Delilah cut his hair, but the
Chinese nation will wax strong when
the several hundred million cues are
cut off and other ancient ideas are
eliminated
Cue cutting in the Celestial en-
p1re is presage and an earnest of the
awakening Of China. The compress
sion Of female feet, another ancient
idea, is becoming thing of the past.
1t is taboo already, and the women
Of China will become the mothers of
a stronger and more virile and valiant
race when they have normal feet and
can get around and exercise and be-
come strong themselves
And there's another thing of mighty
significance taking place in China.
The opium industry is being blotted
out. By imperial decree the Chinese
race is to be emancipated in a few
years from the slavery of the poppy
dope. This infamous curse which the
commerce of Great Britain has placed
upon the Chinese is to be removed.
That will help China to wake up.
China is to have a popular parlia-
ment. That will be another awakener.
Cues, compression, dope and abso-
lutism eliminated, watch China. Some
thing like 4OO,O0O,OOO people are rub
bling their eyes, sealed in the sleep of
centuries Of ignorance. 1t may be
that they will wreak terrible venge-
ance upon England for drugging them
with the poppy plant.

Do Expositions Pay?

Just now two interesting cities, San
Francisco and New Orleans, are com
peting for the honor Of holding q
great exposition to celebrate the com
pletion Of the Panama canal. Some
body has come into print with the old
and shopworn statement that exposi-
lions don't pay. That depends upon
the point Of view. To some persons
nothing pays that does not show a
balance on the profit side of the dol
lars and cents ledger Some persons
measure all men and all movements
by the dollars and cents footrule.
Does it pay to paint picture that
gives delight to thousands and is
handed down as a precious heirloom
to humanity, though the artist gets but
pittance for it? Yes; it pays both
the artist and the people. The artist
himself is rewarded by the conscious
ness Of having created work of art.
Does it pay to write a great poem
which goes into the common literature
of the race, though the poet receives
little or nothing for his work? Yes;
1t pays the poet, and it pays the peo-
pie. The satisfaction of doing some
thing worth while in this world is re-
ward more durable than dollars and
cents, though cash rewards come in
handy. Milton sold paradise LOST
for a few pounds. Poe sold 1.-The
Raven" for few dollars. These
works have enriched the literature of
the world. They have paid big.
An exposition is essentially a work
Of art, but it is more than that: it is
great educational institution. 1t at
fords to millions of persons an oppor-
tunity to see and study many of the
famous art creations, the splendid in
ventions, the magnificent mechanisms
of industry and commerce. A great
exposition is great university for the
people. Unfortunately there is a gang
of grafters that follow expositions as
a "business," but no man of honor
who ever had any connection with a
worlds fair can bring himself around
to the belief that his part in the work
did not pay him, leaving aside the cash
results.
Expeditions are not organized for
money making. They are created first
as a matter Of local pride and beyond
that for the benefit Of the people who
visit them. And in this respect ex-
positions do pay.
