TIPPING AN ARTIST.
He Got His Fee, Too, Before He Cav
Up the information Wanted.


Winslow Homer was a great painter
who had the unusual good fortune to
have his merit appreciated early In
life. But no one ever presumed les
on a wide reputation. Affectation wa.
weakness from which his sense Of
humor saved him.
In his biography by Mr.. W. e.
Downs is printed the story of New
York gentleman of wealth and artistic
tastes who made the journey to Scar
to make the artists acquaintance.
On his arrival he found the studio
door locked. The owner was nowhere
to be seen. He wandered about the
cliffs for awhile until he met a man
In rough old suit Of clothes, rubber
boots and a battered hat, who carried
a fishpole. He accosted the fisherman
thus:
"Say, my man, If you can tell me
where I can find Winslow Homer I
have a quarter for you"
where's your quarterY said the
fisherman.
He handed it over and was astound-
ed to hear the QuiZzical Yankee fisher
man say, 81 am Winslow Homer"
The sequel of this Unusual introduc-
ton was that Homer took his new &C
quaintance back to the studio, enter
tanned him and before he left sold him

FOUND ITS GOLDEN HEAD.
Riddle of a Marble Column In Italy
Read by Beggar.

Near the monastery of San Vito, in
Naples, stood a marble column that
had been erected by an eccentric
Frenchman about the beginning of the
last century. On it were written in
French the following enigmatic words:
ION May 1 every year l have golden
head"
The inscription sorely puzzled the
inhabitants Of Naples. On May l the
year after the erection of the column
a great crowd came to it in the hope
of finding the top covered with gold
pieces. Needless to say, they went
home with their pockets as empty as
they were when they came.
For several years people came to see
the promised wonder and went away
disappointed. At last the authorities
had the column taken down in the be-
lief that treasure would be found be-
meath it. Nothing but earth was
found, and so the column was set up
again. Obviously the words had a
mystic meaning, but no one was clever
enough to guess it, and for years the
riddle remained unsolved.
Finally in 1S41 a ragged beggar
named Annibale Tosci noticed the in
scription. He stood looking at it for a
long time while he pondered its mean
ing. Then suddenly the solution Of
the puzzle flashed into his mind. He
waited patiently until May before he
tested the accuracy Of his interpreta-
ton of the mystic words.
On the day mentioned in the inscrip-
ton Tosci bearing a pick and shovel,
set out at daybreak for the column.
He arrived before any chance visitors,
and as soon as the monastery's bells
tolled he started digging in the
ground covered by the shadow Of the
top Of the column. He had not dug
long before he came on a satchel that
contained $4,000 francs. The inscrip-
ton was a true one-the head Of the
column covered the golden treasure
every year on May 1.
Annibale Tosci, the beggar whose
sharp guess had given him compare.
tive wealth, became a landowner near
Mantua. He died at the age Of nine
ty-four.-Youth's Companion.

To See the Back of Your Eve.

Behind the eye, what is called the
retina, is lined with branching blood
vessels, and a curious but perfectly
simple experiment will enable you to
see these Place yourself in a dark
room, opposite a dark colored wall;
then light a candle and, holding it in
Sour hand. move it up and down be-
fore your eyes. all the time looking
not at the candle, but at the wall be
yond. After a little practice you will
see appear on the wall a great branch
ing figure in black on a reddish sur
face. What you are looking at is the
shadow of these blood vessels at the
back Of your own eye. Perhaps the
most curious part Of the whole thing
is that the part of the eye which re-
ceives the impression of light must lie
behind these blood vesSels.-London

LIGHTING WITH GAS.
And the Young Scotsman Who Wore a
Wooden Hat.

Wooden Hat.
One morning a good many years ago
q young Scotsman was shown into
the Office of a great engineer at Biz
mingham. The young man was wear
ing hat Of extraordinary shape, and
In his nervousness at meeting the man
Of fame he let the hat slip. 1t fell
with hollow thud upon the floor. The
engineer looked with establishment at
the thing. The owner picked IT up
and apologized for the noise 1t had
caused. 1t was of wood, he explained.
He had made 1t himself. turning It
with his fathers lathe.
The engineer thought that there
must be something in a man who could
think out and make such a thing as
this. He forthwith engaged him, kept
an eye upon him and gave him work
Of responsibility. The engineer was
Boulton: the new man, William Muir
dock.
The man with the wooden hat justi-
fed the judgment Of the man who en-
ployed him. After awhile he was sent
away to Cornwall, and when he re
turned it was to light up his masters
premises with gas. The mind which
first practically applied the coal gas to
the purpose of lighting lived inside
that wooden hat.-St. James Gazette.

HUNS AND MAGYARS.
Legend Says Nimrod, Noah's Grand
son, Founded the Race.

son, OunOSO INC
Among the many interesting bits of
history which are included in "Old
Homes of New Americans" Dr. Fran
els E. Clari's study Of the original
life and surroundings of our immi
grants. is q brief account of the tradl'
donal origin of the Huns and Magyars.
According to this story. Nimrod,
grandson OF Noah, was the founder OF
the race. His wife. Eneh. bore him
two sons. Hunyor and Magyar. These
two brothers-who were great hunters
like their father. who has given his
name to every expert user Of the ar
row, spear and gun since his day
while chasing a doe in the forests OF
the Caucasus. were led to move west
ward and found a country rich in fer
tile meadows and green fields.
The doe vanished from before their
eyes, for she had evidently been in
vented by the mythmakers to lead the
brothers into their new domain, and aft
erward, we are told, the progeny Of
Hunyor settled beyond the Volga. while
the sons and grandsons of Magyar set
tied about the river Don and were
known thereafter as Don-Magyars.
However much or however little true
history is found in this maze Of myths,
the names have persisted through all
the centuries. The Huns devastated
Europe in the early centuries, and
Magyar" is still the most honored
uame by which the people of Hungary
choose to be known.

EYES OF NEEDLES.
WY They Never Rust Nor Cut the
Very Finest, Softest Thread.

Millions of needles are sold daily. Il
was not SO long ago when the thread
In the needle was cut by the sharp
edges left in the eye after manufac
ture. The smaller the needle the sharp
er the edge and the greater the annoy
ance to users. Then. again, the eye
would rust, for woman will dampen
the end of the thread on her tongue
In order to make a point so that the
needle may be threaded more easily.
Complaint was loud and long, and or
ders were passed down the line to pro.
duce an eye in the smallest needle that
could not cut the finest and softest
thread in the world.
This was done by inventing a new
machine in the shape of die cutters for
the making of the eyes. The points on
these minute augers are so small that
they cannot be seen with the naked
eye or detected by the most delicate
sense of touch. A microscope is nee
essary. So it was essential to invent
new machines to manufacture the dies
and to sharpen the tiny drills.
Polishers and burnishers had to be
made that would finish off every rough
edge in an instant almost because nee-
dies sell dozen or so for few cents.
When this was done the needles were
placed in a rack. through which the
eyes projected and held so tightly that
when immersed in water only the eyes
were covered. In this way the heads
OF the needles became the negative
pole of a powerful battery, and in a
few moments the eyes of several mil
lion needles were gold plated and
hsHce rendered rust proof.-Harper's.

those dignitaries should have power

DAMP, DARK DAYS.
And Their Depressing Effects Upon the
Human System.

human SySterns
Next time it is a dark, dreary dag
and you are sure that you have some
really terrible ailment don't worry.
Just cheer up and realize that there is
nothing the matter with you except
that the weather is damp, and the first
Bunny day will be sure to set you right.
At least this is the opinion of DR..
Rankin, a London physician, who has
been giving lectures on the subject of
health and happiness. He attributes
most Of the ordinary woes Of humanity
TO the damp weather and explains his
theory scientifically.
I'm damp weather." he says, "the
skin does not perform its functions
properly. Products which should be
thrown off in persSiration remain and
clog the skin. Under ordinary circum-
stances in a normal temperature the
amount of vapOr passing from the skin
reaches thirty ounces per day. In
moist air the amount passing out from
the skin is reduced to seven or eight
ounces.
"As perspiration contains poisonous
properties. it is not Surprising that
during damp weather these poisonous
properties which are retained in the
body lower the vitality and produce
various temporary ailments"
So it's really Il comfort to know that
when we do not feel "welI' in damp
weather it is no sign Of constitutional
=. health, but just the weather.-San
francisco Chronicle.

BIRDS AND COLORS.
Pigeons and Chickens Can See What
Is Invisible to Man.

10 tfLNiSipic 70
1t has been slowly brought to our
understanding that the world is not
the same to all creatures. and probably
no experiments have tended more to
make this clear than those on the
color sense of chickens. pigeons. owls
and kestrelS.
Hungry chickens and pigeons were
first kept, an hour in a bright room for
them to become accustomed to the
light. The floor was then spread with
a smooth black cloth, evenly covered
with grains of wheat, strong spec
trum was thrown on it from the cell
ing and the hungry animals were turn
ed loose They picked the wheat first
from the bright red, then the ultra red,
next the yellow and finally the green.
They touched nothing in the blue and
violet because they saw nothing; bur,
on the other hand, they saw the grains
In the ultra red that were invisible to
the men.
This proved that for chickens and
pigeons the spectrum is shortened at
the violet end of short wave length
and extended at the red end Of long
wave length. This is the effect one
might expect from wearing orange col
ored glasses and demonstrated that
fowls see through such spectacles in
the form Of yellow and orange oil
globules embedded in the light sensi-
tive layer.
To kestrels and buzzards the bright
est zone was the green instead Of the
red. the blue being visible. To owls
the colors were as men see them

The Name Lehi1h.

On March 6. 1912, Lehigh county
was formed from part of Northampton
county. Its name came from the LIE
high river, being an Indian name de
rived through the German. The origi-
nal Indian name is said TO have been
Le-chau-weech-ink. or Le-chau-week-i,
meaning "the place of the fork Of the
road" The German settlers of the
region shortened this into "Lecha,
which is still in use among the Penn
sylvania Germans. 'Lehigh" is the
English version of "Lecha." Allen
town, the county seat, was called
Northampton until 1S3S.-Philadelphia
