Byron. Dread of Growing Fat.

Byron was a striking exception to
Sir Francis Cations theory that
notabilities are great eaters, for
Byron, like many less clever people,
had a morbid dread Of growing fat
and was wont to mortify the flesh
accordingly. While at Athens he
drank large quantities of vinegar
and water and seldom ete more
than a little rice, and at another
time he restricted himself to six bis
cults a day. Again in 1916 he lived
on a thin slice of bread for break
fast and a vegetable dinner, keeping
down his hunger in between by
chewing tobacco. And he achieved
his end, for the last time he was
weighed he went ten stone nine
pounds.--L.ondon Chronicle.

CHANGED THE STORY.
Huge Got u Well Turned Around by
the Third Time Ne Told II.

Right after Napoleon Ills coup
d'etat Victor Hugo and Schoelcher,
a well known politician Of that peri
cd, fed together from Paris. A
short time afterward, when Hugo
met Schoelcher at his table in Brus-
sells, the poet said: eyes, my dear
friend, you can boast of having once
scared me very much. | had no
doubt that we were done for"
Turning to the other guests, he ex-
planned:
eve were on the way to the
Northern railroad depot and were
sitting silent and uneasy in the ON
nibus, our hats drawn deep over our
f~oreheads. Presently a regiment of
infantry passed by with flying colors
and resounding music. AT the sight
Schoelcher forgot all caution and,
leaning out of the window, shouted,
Down with Caesarr Instantly /
caught hold of him and closed his
mouth with my hand. One word
more and We should have been done
for"
Two years later Schoelcher visit
ed his friend Hugo in Guernsey. AT
dinner again the coup d'etat was
discussed, and the poet called forth
recollections of times past. "Do you
still recollect, Schoelcher," he ask
ed, "the day of our flight? We real
ly came off very lucky. But didn't
vi act like madmen, shouting Down
with Caesarp when that regiment
was passing by? Of course we were
too indignant to be able to keep
our temper"
Several years lapsed, and again
Schoelcher was a guest in Hugo's
house. Conversation turned to civic
courage and the like. "Well, my
dear Schoelcher," Hugo said to his
friend, 81 must tell you something
! have had in my heart for years.
In a critical moment of your life
you showed a weakness which griev-
ed me deeply. You will recollect
that day when we, after the coup
d'etat, left Paris and how !, while a
regiment of infantry was passing
by, at the sight Of these killers Of
our liberty and in a rage, having no
command over myself, shouted out,
Down with Caesarp / still have
you before my eyes trembling with
fear, catching hold of me by the
lapel of my coat and forcing me
down on the seat, so concerned you
we're for your precious life."

How tho Daisy Was Named.

Of all the flowers of the field the
daisy is the most appropriately nam.
ed. Probably not one person in a
hundred understands the signifi-
canoe of this little flower. Hun
dreds and hundreds Of years ago it
got its name, and in all parts of the
world the name means the same
thing. The nature lover who nam
ed the daisy had in his study of the
wild flower observed that it opened
its eye with the opening of the day
and closed it with the setting of the
sun. So with the simplicity Of the
true artist he called it the eye of the
day, the dayseye or, as we spell it
today, the daisy.

WINDMILL.s or HOLLAND.
Old Fash Toned Methods Still Prevail
In Operating Them.


1t is said that there are 10000
windmills in Holland. The number
is said, however, 10 be less than it
was fifty years ago, for the Dutch
have, in a measure, substituted
steam and other forms of power for
the capricious wind.
On the eastern end of Long Is
land there may be seen old wind
mills. The curious may observe
that there is a tiny windmill in
many cases perched on the top OPP
posite the great arms, a feature
that suggests a pug dogs curled
tail. Those who have investigated
the mechanism of the windmill
know that the little windmill is the
Yankees method Of automatically
keeping the sails on the great arms
always in the wind. As soon as the
wind changes it puts the small wheel
in motion, and this quickly rolls
the top of the tower and the big
wheel around until it again faces
the wind. Then, being itself out of
the wind, it stops.
Whenever the wind changes in
Holland hundreds of mill keepers
come forth and la~boriously turn the
tops about by hand. They may be
e pushing and straining on the
galleries surrounding the towers
midway between the ground and the
top or tugging at the spokes of a
wheel on the ground.
farmland is especially the home
Of the windmill. 1t lies to the north
and west of Amsterdam, and every
town or village in this district be-
gins or ends in "zaan."
zaandijk, according to one travel
err, perpetually reminds n of the
old query, "Do you see anything
green?" Everything in Zaandijk is
green. Bridges, fences, doors, win
dows, walls, are green, ranging from
the green of peas to hat Of apples,
olives, grass, m~alachite, beryl, old
bottles and verdigris.
In a little museum Of this place
there are shown many models Of
windmills, among which is that of
the first windmill erected in Zaan-
dam. 1t stood in the water, and
when it was desired to turn the
sails toward the wind the miller
was obliged to get into his boat and,
taking a line, tow the whole struc-
ture around until it was in a work
ing position again. Later on the
mill was set on a post and the whole
turned about this as an axis, in the
same manner that one revolves
bookshelves. Then another method
was devised. The entire ediice was
turned about from the bottom like
a monitors turret. Finally the
comparatively modern type was
adopted, that of a cap holding the
axle and sails with a cogwheel and
spindle inside and easily moved
from below by a hand wheel or
windlass to secure the proper front
age at wallpapers.

He Got I. From Pa and Ma.

Little Jack was struggling through
his home lessons, and there were
many signs of woe and perplexity
written on his impish young face.
"Ma," he began in rather a quay
ering voice, "what does her-e-dity
meanY"
Mother wasn't quite sure herself,
but she was sufficiently artful not
to say so outright, SO she answered
vaguely:
"Well, John, it's--er-it's some
thing to do with what you get from
your father or me-"
Little Jack pondered deeply for a
few moments. Suddenly a look Of
knowledge, the outcome of past UNI
happy experiences, appeared on his
countenance.

ne asked.-San Francisco Chronicle.

UNIQUE ADVERTISING.

A tale is told of Robert Bonner
and of his belief in advertising. One
day he engaged a whole page Of a
newspaper and repeated a two line
advertisement upon il over and over
again. 1t must have been repeated
5000 times upon the page in the
smallest type.
"Why do you waste your money,
Robert" asked a friend. 81 MOTTO
ed that same line so often. Would
not half a page have answered your
purpose?"
"Half a page would never have

piled Mr.. Bonner. AT least FIVE

The TrunkTsh.

The trunkfsh is one Of the Pc
culiar inhabitants of the ocean. 1t
is called the trunkfsh because its
back is completely covered with
bony plates of a regular shape,
forming a complete coat of mail.
1t is protected so completely that it
can move only its tail, mouth and a
small part of its gills, which pass
through the armor. 1t is quite a
small fish and is found only in the
warm waters of the southern tropi-
cal seas.

practical one, much liked for the
occupations that mean sitting for any

it Is in no way bulky and is shaped to
graceful lines. Sateen is much in use for
aprons of this kind but mohair is liked and

isdurable and good for the purpose. There
are just two portions that are joined at the
