sIot LIterature In eermany.

Penny in the slot literature is the latest thing in Germany. A firm of publishers at Leipsic has patented an automatic machine which gives 8 choice of a dozen small paper GOV cred volumes which are displayed be- hind glass. On a strip of paper across each volume is printed a brief de- scription of the book, and coin in the slot does the rest. These auto matic machines are to be placed in ho- tel Hobbies, waiting rooms, theater foy- CTS and other public places. The hope is expressed that as the books offered are carefully selected and by f1rst-class authors the venture may have bene- ficial educative effect upon the masses and thus counteract the influence of the cheap and trashy literature with which the country is flooded.

 ONES E]
RIDDLES ARE OLD AS TIME
at Least 5000 Years Old-Enter- tainment for Evening.

It Is a curious fact that boys are more fond of conundrums than girls are.
 While all conundrums are riddles, all riddles are not conundrums, the term conundrum being used more for riddles which are based on some fan cied resemblance, such as, Why is a pig looking out of a second-story win dow like the moon?" and the answer is because it looks round. If anyone objects that the moon does not always look round, you can reply: Neither does the pig"
 Two of the most famous riddles are at least 5000 years old. The first of which there Is any record is found in the fourteenth chapter of judges, and was made up by Samson after his fight with lion. He offered prize to any one who could solve it within seven days, but no one got it. It is recorded that his wife pestered him to tell her the answer, but he absolutely refused until the time was up, and many think that he never intended to tell it at all.
 Bishop Whately never told the an swer to any of his puzzles. If they were correctly guessed he would ac- knowledge that the solution was right; but if no one got the answer he kept it to himself, and some of his enigmas are still unsolved.
 One of the chief entertainments in ancient times at any domestic gather ing, such as a marriage feast, was ask ing riddles, and many persons spent their lives in devising them and selling them to the rich and great, just as some public men now get others to write their speeches for them.

Rye, Barley and Oats.

Rye is the grain of poor countries, and Europe consumes more than nine- tenths of the worlds supply. Its cul- ture is stationary in the Northwest and west of Europe, and in the south west of France is diminishing. But 1t Is gaining somewhat in Russia, Japan, Tunis and more than all in this coun- try. But still the United States pro- duces less than 2 per cent of the worlds supply.
 The culture of barley, on the con trary, is gaining almost everywhere. At the same time the yield per acre has increased so that the total produc- ton is third more than 40 years ago.
 The production has almost doubled in Austria-Hungary. more than dou- bled in Tunis, Australia and Japan, Tipled in this country and quadrupled in Canada.
 There is also a constant increase in the worlds production of oats. The acreage has increased 43 per cent. since 1871 and the yield has increased 73 per cent. The United States, Rus sia, Germany and France lead in pro duction, in the order named.

seIIIna Baked Butterflies.

One of the meanest frauds on rec ord is that which is said to have been practiced recently on entomologists. It appears that there is a systematic trade in forged butterflies carried on by continental dealers. The method as described is to cover the wings of moths after setting with heavy coat of powder, which is then tinted with pastel colors to suit the taste of anna teurs.
 Not content with initiating the rar- CT species, the forgers have recently been improving on nature and selling hitherto unknown varieties at un- heard-of prices. One expert was for a while taken in with a red butter fly with blue polka dots, but this bold piece of imagination ultimately led to the exposure of the fraud.-London Letter to the New York Sun.

Woman Prison Warden.

The newly-appointed warden of the prison for the Canton Wandland in Switzerland is a woman, Frau Fanny Porchet. In her application for the post, she said that in the course of her husbands administration as war; den, and particularly during the illness which caused his death, she had act ed as warden and found that she was in every way competent to fill the place. Knowing that there might be some doubt as to her physical ability to handle obstreperous prisoners, she offered to meet the strongest man on the police force in a wrestling contest. Frau Porchet was invited to appear be- fore the appointing board and made such a favorable impression that she was appointed without demonstrating her strength. She Is fl years old.- New York Tribune.

BRIDES OF HAWAIIAN JAPs
They Are Usually Selected In Japan by the Parents of the
 Grooms.

"No more orientals of the laboring class are coming to Hawaii, and a good many of our white citizens who cultivate sugar estates are sorry that the faithful Chinese are barred under the law" said W. P. Harcourt, a sugar planter of the island of Kauai, one of the Hawaiian group. "They are our best workers. and before the exclusion policy was applied we could count on certain regular influx of brawny Mongolians to toll in the cane fields.
 ''The Chinese now in Hawaii have been there for many years and most of them are getting to be old men. Not many of the Chinese have wives, but in former days not a few of them became the husbands of the native Kanaka women. It was a good cross, was this half-breed progeny, and so likewise the offspring of the Japanese and native women. In recent times, however, the Japs have been in the habit of sending back to their own land for wives. In most cases think the self-elected bridegrooms get their parents back in the f1owery kingdom to pick out wives for them
 "The matter is finally arranged through the Japanese consul, the man in the case putting up money for the passage of his intended spouse. The hour that she lands must also be the wedding hour, for the authorities will not allow the fair ones to remain un- less claimed and formally mated ac- cording to some civil or religious ceremony that both parties consider binding.
 Every now and then a wireless message comes to my plantation which tells one of my young Japanese hired men that he may expect on the arrival of the next ship at Honolulu the girl who has been picked out as his wife. do not think that in many cases the principals have ever laid eyes on each other. On the receipt of the message the man gets permission to go to claim his wife, and pretty soon the pair are domesticated on the estate, and my understanding is they get on as happily as if they had known each other from infancy and been welded in the conventional way of the Caucasians.
 ''Not long ago a ship from Yoko- hama arrived with forty or fifty so- called picture brides. Every one of them had been chosen through photo graphs forwarded to Hawaii some time in advance of the arrival of the originals. Occasionally there is a pa thetic case, as when not long ago very pretty young Japanese maid was forced to take the next ship returning to her old home. Inspection showed that she had trachoma, and the rigid rule that ordered her deportation could not be waived. ."-Baltimor American.

Champ EnIIahtens the House.


 Speaker Champ Clark startled the house during the consideration of the conference report on the Sherwood service pension bill by saying from the chair:
 'T have it, ali unde, that President Taft will sign this bill if We get it to him today"
 The bill was agreed to and hurried to the White House. Then friends crowded around MT. Clark.
 ''What does alley unde' mean?" de- manded Representative Victor Mur- dock. 'T know some Latin, but l never heard of that before"
 "Yes, it's Latin," announced MT. Clark. "It means outside of the rec ord.' I learned in a roundabout way that President Taft is going to leave the city this afternoon and that he was waiting to sign this bill. If he does not 400 or 500 aged soldiers might die before he is back"
 Tt means grapevine in Ozark Ian guage," some one suggested.
 Exactly" said the speaker.
 Then the gathering fell into dis cussion of Latin quotations, and the speaker demonstrated that he knew more about Horace, Cato and Virgil than all the rest.-Washington Core spondence Boston Transcript.

AMERICAN BOY IS SPOILED
However, He Is Nearly Always Amus- Ing, Even When He Is Most
 ExasperatInq.

'"The great American boy" said the West Side woman, 'fs so badly spoil ed that about half the time he is an offense instead of the joy he might be, but he is so thoroughly on that he nearly always is amusing, even when most exasperating. It is need ful when dealing with him, or even when meeting him casually, to be either ridicule-proof or else to have a sense of humor that enables you to enjoy a laugh at your own expense. A few days ago I found it necessary to take a taxi at a quiet street cor ner. A few boys gathered instantly, to supervise the proceeding. As the chauffeur closed the door and pre- pared to mount his seat one of the boys called to him in the most inde- scribable tone of languid hateur-in- tended to represent a lady doing the top limit of the society act-'Home, John The chauffeur grinned, though he looked somewhat alarmed lest his fare might be annoyed. I was glad 1 could share his appreciation, but took pains not to let the boys see me smile. I should think actors might learn innumerable things by studying street urchins."
 "One Sunday not long ago." said the man to whom she was talking, q was on my way to church and was walking along upper Seventh avenue with a lady of my acquaintance. I wore a silk hat and the usual clothes for such an occasion. I was talking earnestly with my companion, not noticing my surroundings. Suddenly a small boy, who was sitting on a tiny cart and pushing it along with one foot, darted right between my feet and attempted to force a passageway to the beyond. I nearly was over turned, was forced to execute some of the most instantaneous and inelegant gymnastics of my life and regained my balance only with extreme diff culty. The scrap of humanity, who was causing my distress, glared up at me wrathfully and yelled, Hey, you guy wid de silk hat on, why don't yer look w'ur yer goin'?'"

BOY WAS NECESSARILY SLOW
Small Boy, Late in Reaching Home. Told Mother He Led Turtle In-

An eight-year-old San Rafael boy was being lectured on obedience the other evening.
 q told you that you could play with the Wilson boys till five o'clock" said his mother. Why didn't you come when told you?"
 q did, mamma"
 Don't tell me a falsehood. Why didn't you come home at five o'ciock7"
 'T started home at i've"
 Then you stopped to play oD the way"
 NO, mamma, sure I didn't"
 Do you expect me to believe that it took you two hours to walk half a mile? I think I shall have to punish you for telling me falsehoods."
 Honestly I started home at five o'clock, and came straight home"
 The mother led the boy into the kitchen and took down the whip. He turned pale and tears weIled up into his eyes.
 Now. sir. will you tell me the truth?"
 "Ye-es, mamma; Charlie Wilson gave me a mud turtle-and I was afraid-to carry it-so led 1t home"

Parts So That Skirts Are Not Caught or Spattered.

Although motorcycling is almost ex- clusively a sport or means of trans. portation for men in America, and young men at that, the makers of motorcycles for women are finding ready sale in England. The method of inclosing all movable parts on a woman's motorcycle, so that there is no danger of the skirts being caught or spattered with oil, is shown in the accompanying illustration of popular model, says the Popular Mechanics.
