A VERY PLEASANT HOME.
All Because of the Way He Solved the
Closet Space Problem.

Closet Space Problem.
l must tell all my brothers how my
wife and l have solved the problem
which so bothers those who dwell
where there is but little closet room.
With one dressing case between us.
there was not room for all our things
As to the closets. they were crammed
full. and even under the ped there
Were many hat boxes. SO purchased
another dressing case.
then took all my clothes. which
had been crowding my wife's in her
dressing case, and arranged them in
my own. In the top drawer l PIT my
handkerchiefs. collars and ties and
all those other little articles Of Emery
which every man loves so much. In
the second drawer placed my shirts
and underwear and devoted the lower
drawer 10 my trousers. neatly folded.
and my hosiery. My wife was de-
lighted. as it gave her her own dresser
all to herself and relieved the closet
somewhat
4. But in day or SO the new plan
proved to have a few defects. so at my
wifes suggestion | emptied one Of the
upper drawers in my dresser. putting
its contents into the other and allowed
my wife to use the now vacant recep-
tacle for few Of her jabots. scarfs,
etc. The second day 1t was decided
that my shirts and trousers could oc-
cupy the same drawer. the lowest one,
so this was fixed. and into the second
drawer my wife moved few of her
petticoats and such things.
Soon finding that l was still using
too much space. permitted her to put
my collars and such effects into the
lowest drawer with my trousers, ETC..
thus giving her both Of the upper
drawers and the next and still leav-
ing me plenty Of room In the one bot
tom drawer.
Since then, however. l have found
that do not require SO much space
for my few things. SO have taken them
out Of the bottom drawer and packed
them into a hat box, which keep
under the bed. thereby giving my
wife all the drawers in my dressing
case. fnd the present arrangement
very satisfactory. AZ all 1 have to do
now IL to empty the hat box on the
bed when want anything in 1t and
then. when have made my selection
sweep the, other articles back into
place.
In this way I have solved the dress
ing case problem. and everything Is
quite pleasant In our home.-Paul Wes'

PARSLEY SUPERSTITlONS.
Sinister Beliefs Associated With the
Plant In England.

Many superstitions are connected
with the herb parsley, probably
through an ancient Greek practice. the
graves of the dead being strewn with
It and the plant thereby gaining a
sinister significance.
In Hampshire it Is considered very
unlucky to give root of this herb
away. since they say that If this be
done ill luck will fall upon them. In
Devonshire to transplant parsley Is
likewise to commit serious offense
against the guardian genius who pre-
sides over the plants. In Suffolk 1t Is
said that if parsley be sown on Good
Friday it will grow well and flourish,
but If it be sown on any other day 1t
will not come double.
in Shropshire they have a saying
that where parsley grows in the gar
den 9TH missis is master" In Buck.
lnghamshire parsley Is regarded as a
somewhat uncanny herb, and an old
gardener once assured me on hearing
me lament that the seed had sown
had not come up that 1t was necessary
to sow parsley for nine times before
one could get any to grow. This say
ing l have heard later in Shropshire
where they say the devil takes all
but the last Likewise. too. in Shrop
shire they say that to transplant pars
ley will bring about a death.-West

BATTLES WITH LOCUSTS.
In 1880 an Army Was Arrayed Against
tho Ravaging Pests.

Since the days of the pharaohs the
locust has been an unmitigated plague
Pliny relates that in many places in
Greece law obliged the inhabitants
to wage war against the insects three
times a year,. e.. In their various
states of egg. larvae and adult.
In 1749 locusts stopped the army of
Charles XII. king of Sweden. as it was
retreating from Bessarabia after its
defeat at Poltava. The king at first
imagined that he was being assailed
by terrific hailstOrm.
In Pennsylvania In l1SO the ravages
Of the locusts assumed such disastrous
proportions that the army had actually
to be called out to deal with the pests,
and whole regiments of soldiers were
employed gathering them up and put,
ting them into sacks.
A weird. uncanny looking customer
is the locust. The general color scheme
| of his body is a kind of indefinite
green. relieved by pink legs and wings
| of whitish color. Two huge. blank
unmeaning eyes give an expression OF
utter imbecility to the insects counte
nance.
To atone in measure for their de
structive proclivities the locusts are edi

of them. Camels. to which they are

TULIP MADNESS.
The Craze That Ragged In Holland In
the Last Century.


the Last Century.
During the tulip craze In Holland in
the last century In one year the sales
aggregated 100000 tiorins. Holland
went tulip mad. The bulbs were quot
ed on the Stock Exchange. Ownership
In them was divided into shares. Spec.
ulators sold them short. At one time
more tulips were sold than existed. AT
Lille brewer sold his trade and good
will in exchange for bulb. which was
thereafter known as the Brewery tu-
LID. In Amsterdam father gave one
by way of dover with his child. There
after the variety was known as the
Marriage of My Daughter. At Rotter-
dam a hungry sailor. happening on
few. mistook them for onions and ate
them The repast became as famous
as Cleopatra's pearls and probably ex-
ceeded 1t In cost. At The Hague a
poor fellow managed to raise a black
tulip. The rumor Of that vegetable
marvel spread. Presently he was Wis
tied by a deputation from syndicate,
For that eve lamb of his the deputa
ton offered 1000 forms. which he re-
fused. He was offered 10000 forms.
Still he refused. Cascades OF gold
were poured before his resisting eyes.
Finally. tormented and tempted. he
succumbed There and then the depu.
tation trampled that tulip under their
feet. Afterward it appeared that the
syndicate had already grown gem
precisely similar and. unable to bear
the idea that rival existed. had au-
thorized the deputation If needful to
offer ten times the amount which 1t
paid.

Ancient Spectacle Makers,

The ancient Guild OF Spectacle Max
ers is numerically one of the strongest
London companies. Its charter dates
from. the year 1920 and. though the ex-
act date Of its origin Is lost. there IL
ample evidence that the calling of
spectacle maker was extensively fol
lowed at very early date. An old
book Of 1868 mentions the spectacle
makers among other traders. and the
biography Of Carlo Zeno, an illustrioua

In most cases the freak" bills that
have escaped the vigilance of the nu
reau's officers are national banknot.s.

are printed there. AS intimated Il

nized when the freaks" come to be
cashed at any branch of the treasury.
The imprint on the back has no Law ful
status whatsoever.
The notes are printed in sheets.
Usually there will be one twenty and
two tens on a sheet. They are PRINT
ed one side at time. so 1t can readily
be seen that the printer in turning
over the sheet might get it upside
down and thus put ten dollar back
on the twenty dollar note or twenty

When errors are discovered the mis-
printed sheet is laid aside to be de-
stroyed. 1t cannot be torn up at once
for every sheet has to be accounted
for. After some formalities 1t Is ground
into pulp.
