room and stared in wonder at its rich
furnishings. From one gorgeous bau-
BILE to another she wandered, gazing,
examining, handling. At length, as she
reached a table, she saw lying there q

was unlike any other weapon she ever

Superstition Royalty Respects.

Canterbury Cathedral, like most
Gothic cathedrals, is decorated with
innumerable inches for statues. At
Canterbury a series Of these inches Is
occupied with statues OF kings and
queens of England, and there are only
four inches left unoccupied.
An old tradition has 1t that when
all the inches are filled the throne of
England will come to an end. Queen
Victoria was approached with a view
to a statue Of herself being placed In
one of the four remaining inches, but
her late majesty was aware of the old
tradition, and refused.
One wonders whether In the future
there will be four monarchs Of Eng
land sufficiently Indifferent to super.
stition to defy the tradition and allow
their eftigies to fill the unoccupied
spaces.-Stray Stories.

Says Henry G. Butler of London in the
IS.troIL Free Press. "One bakery Is
turning aut 10000 loaves daily. and It
is being fed to horses. making a sub
stantial feed for them. The sawdust
Is fermented and chemically treated
and then 1t Is mixed with one-third
rye flour. and the dough is shaped into
loaves and baked like any other
bread.
Men who have tasted the sawdust
bread say that 1t Is not at all bad,
and while the bakers do not intend 1t
for consumption by the people they
assert that in case of q. famine II
would come in very handy.
I'm various parts OF the world the

Once Realistic.

stage money" that commodity
which has been the butt of jokes for
generations, may soon lose it's signifi-
canoe If the example just set by one
manager Is followed generally.
This wise individual Is going to put
on new play very soon and re-
hearsals are now in progress. There is
a mob scene in the play and the hero
at critical moment throws a handful
of money to the crowd.
When rehearsals first began the
stage manager found much difficulty in
getting the necessary "ginger" into the
scene, as the supernumerares did not
show any great enthusiasm In scram-
bling for the coin. They knew It's real
value.
Then a bright ides struck the man.
ager He knew that as thespians get
no salary while rehearsing they are
sometimes hard up. so he decided to
mix some real money with the stage
article that is thrown to the crowd.
The effect was magical The scram-
BILE is 30 realistic that the manager Is
looking forward anxiously to the first
night to see the effect on the audi
ence. But those who read this will
know the real secret Of the wonderful
acting"
