Queer Resemblance.

That persons who live together for
a very long period not only acquire the
same manneriSms. but grow Il strong
facial resemblance. is IN established
fact But it is little known that the
same con,itieIl often exists from mis-
tress and servant being associated to-
gether for Il long period of years.
There is usually strong desire on the
part of most servants to ape their mis-
tresses. and this. added to the fact of
constant nearness. often extends to ia
cial reSemblances.
There are in d small town in New
York state two unusual instances OF
this kind Two widows live there,
each of whom has been attended by a
woman servant for more than forty
years In both cases the servants have
become so like their mistresseS that
they are often mistaken for them. and
their cases have attracted attention
far and near. Their voices over the
telephone are so alike that friends of
the women have given up this method
of communication New York Sun

MONA LISA FOUND
SECRETED IN ITALY
italian Who Stole the Famous
Painting Is Arrested.

FLORENCE, ITALY = Leonardo
da Vinci's masterpiece, Mona Lisa"
the mysterious disappearance of
which from the Louvre in August,
1911, threw the art world into con-
sternatiOn, has been found in Flor
ence. The man who stole it was ar
rested. He is an Italian. The famous
"Joconde'' was found when the pic
ture was offered by an Italian resident
of Paris to an antiQuary. Both the
picture and the Italian are now in
custody of the police.
Il stole the picture" said the man,
lin order to avenge the thefts which
Napoleon l. committed in Italy"
The Mona Lisa-more properly
known as LA Joconde''-is one of the
worlds most famous paintings, and is
regarded as priceless. Leonardo is
supposed by some to have taken as
his model for the picture Lisa del
Giocondo, woman of Florence. He
worked on the painting for four years,
from 1900 to 1904. 1t was bought for
France by Francis l.
The value of the work can only be
imagined, since all offers to buy it
were refused, among them one report
ed to have been made by the British
government of $5,000,00O.

The Lord of MisruIe.

The Lord of Misrule," who some
times rejoiced in the whimsical title
of the ''Abbot Of Unreason." was q
very important functionary of the
Christmas ceremonies in the olden
time His office was that of master OF
the revels, and in castle and hall, from
Christmas eve down to Twelfth day
he was absolute master of all. On tax
ing up the duties of his office he gen
orally made some quaint speech, ex-
planning to the company that he alb
solved them of all their reason and
that they were to be just wise enough
to make fools of themselves. Under
his rule all were to be equal. No one
was to sit apart in pride of self suffi-
cheney to laugh at others. Moreover,
being possessed of the magic power to
turn his auditory into children. it was
his intention while his sovereignty
lasted that they should conduct them,
selves as such.

A CHRISTMAS TREE TABLE.

A favorite idea for dinner en-
tertaining is the Christmas tree
table. Tiny fir trees, arranged
with Kate Greenaway SYM
metry in straight lines, are set
in row, one little Christmas
tree being placed between every
two guests. This is not, how
ever, so successful m the case of
round or oval table as it is
where dinner party for twelve
or more is concerned, necessitat-
ing a long table. The trees, fes-
TONED from one to the other
with ropes of tinseI and garlands
of silver and golden "rain," give
most festive appearance to the
dinner.
Each tiny tree, planted in a red
lacquer tub, is hung with mi
mute glistening balls and with
bonbons wrapped in bright tin
foil paper in different coIors. the
light from the candles or cleo
trio lamps, reflected by the
bright decorations, giving the
appearance of lamps.

leaves shriveled. the tree changed it's
