Among the many trades which exist,
but which are not as rule filed ND in
the census papers, are the takers" of
all kinds, from the manufacturer of
antique furniture and brasses to the
bird fancier who can pass a sparrow
as a canary. Perhaps the most curious
form of taking is that which deals
with turkeys, dead or alive. and which
Is principally practiced in France. The
age Of turkey is told chiefly by its
legs and beak. These are filed and
treated with a special varnish by the
"faker'' two or three times a week be-
fore the bird is to be sold. It will then,
to all appearance. have renewed it's
youth. and it's owner is able to obtain
much higher price. The freshness of
the dead birds is also largely told by
the color Of the legs. and for this, too,
a varnish is used The varnish was

The First Mountaineer

A Munich paper has been searching
the records Of history to discover who
were the first mountain climbers 1t
gives the palm to Moses for his as
cent of Mount Sinai and rules out
Noah for his ascent of Mount Ararat
because he made it in a boat There
is sufficient evidence to show that the
ancients thought mountain climbing
sheer madness. No one in the time of
Horace or Polybius wanted to go
climbing for a summer holiday. A
Chinese emperor in the seventh cen
fury was the first to make climbing
fashionable in the east. but the first
true tourists in Europe seem to have
been Dante. Petrarch and Leonard.
Then came the Emperor Macmillan
l., who used to hunt in the noun
tains near Innsbruck, and after him
Conrad Won Gesner and Josias Simler
explored the Swiss mountains. But
climbing for pleasure such as we know
it today was not thought of until quite
recently.

March of the Dininq Hour.

The hour of dining has advanced
with the centuries. Froissart mentions
waiting on the Duke Of Lancaster at &
In the afternoon after he had supped
and was about to go to bed, and the
preface Of the Heptameron shows that
the queen Of Navarro dined at 10
o'clock in the morning. From the
Northumberland Household Book,
dated 1912, we learn that the ducal
family rose at 6. breakfasted at 7.
d1ned at 10, supped at 4 and retired
for the night at g. Louis XIV. did not
dine till IL. while his contemporaries.
Cromwell and Charles H., took the
meal at 1. In 100 the hour was ad-
vanced to 2. in 1851 we find the
Duchess Of Somerset dining at 8. and
In 1850 Cowper speaks of O'Clock as
the fashionable time. After the battle
of Waterloo the dinner hour was al
tered to 6, from which time it has adj
vanced by half hour stages to 8. So
that in 400 years the dinner hour had
gradually moved through at least ten
hours of the day.-London Spectator.

The Skeleton In the Closet.

1t is said that the expression There

widow SoOn discovered it was no easy
task to find such person. but at length
was referred to lady who seemed
surrounded with every comfort and
happiness and possessed a husband
who seemed devoted to her. The wild

an answer was shown closet where

She was told it was the remains of the
ladys former lover. who from motives
of jealousy had been slain by her bus

that no one was without trouble. that
there is a skeleton in every closet"
and became reconciled to the approach

ST noticed a statement in an eastern

attention the fact that it takes dol

than two years to earn dime. You
can see the effect. Every time spend
a dime I think of that toiling dollar
spinning away in the dark somewhere.
The dime spend means more than two
years Of steady application, and yet L
let it go as If it were Of too small
value to be at all considered. Why. 1t
takes a dollar more than a year to

Old London,s Free Dinners.

Two hundred years ago visitors to

Subsistence of the Bermudas.

It is contended that the Bermuda
islands are merely the remnant Of an
island. very much larger than the pres
ent entire group. which has sunk into
the ocean. The original island. 1t is
asserted, had an area of 300 or 400
square miles. whereas the Bermudas
Of today are only about twenty square
miles in area Within comparatively
recent period. according to Verrill. the
Bermudas have subsidized at least 80 or
