WENT DEEPLY INTO DETAILS
Complete, but Could by No Means Be Called Complimentary.

Stephen Haegen. manager Of B Harlem bank, at dinner recently told the following aneedote: Many years ago. while spending vacation in a city in the upper part of the state, he visited some friends in a bank While there he saw a severe-looking woman move up to the teller's window and request that small check be cashed. She asked the man in the cage to call up the person from whom she had received the check and he would iden- tify her.
 The teller called up the man and asked him to describe the woman. He did SO in the following manner: "Sha looked like the crankiest person in the world. She was dressed in the fashion of about five years ago. think she is an old cat. She wore 8 blue straw hat. but then it may be green. and think she paints. She wore two fake diamond rings. Coed by, old man"

Tree-Bark Blankets

They have trees for blankets fin Ecuador, and they like them, too. They are fond of the firm touch of the bark against them as they sleep.
 We would probably think they were zero In covering" and we would doubtless wake up in a much hestihened condition if we slept under wood covering.
 But the native Indians are most enthusiastic. according to J. lame son. a traveller and lecturer. who has recently returned from those parts.
 The blankets are made from the bark of tree which Is cut particular ly thin. It Is pounded and moistened and then pounded some moro and put out into the sun to dry. And most desirable and economical blanket 1t is, lasting anywheres from two to 1.-Two years.

Wordsworth on Real Estate.

There is an interesting story of Wordsworth. who went to call on Mfss Harriet Martineau at Ambleside, In the house which she had built and laid out, writes 4. O. Benson in the Gen. tury Magazine. There was gathering ot netghbors present, and Wordsworth stood for a long time at the window contemplating the beautiful landscape outside. Then he turned to the party and said:
 Miss Martineau. congratulate you on your beautiful little domain. The views are wonderful. and 1t will turn out to be the wisest thing you ever did in your iife."
 He paused for a moment. and the guests expected some comment on the uplifting effects of communion with nature, but Wordsworth, with a fine gesture, continued:
 Your property will certainly be trebled in value within the next ten years!"

FAST TRIP THROUGH BRITAIN
Wishes, 10 DO" the islands in the Course of Seven Days.

How to do the British Isles in a week is the latest scheme for hustlers. A dash around London, a flying de- scent on one or two cathedral cities, B race through Scotland and a glance at Killarney-this what Is open to those who want to see the country sn hurry Tourist agents say that the idea Is catching on with Amert- cans. Indeed it was an American who first suggested It.
 Assuming that the tourist begins his trip on Monday, he devotes that day to the show places of London. winding up with theater In the eve ming. On Thursday he goes to Wind sor. and Hampton Court and cn his return to London has time to go to a music hall. On Wednesday he leaves London for Peterborough, sees the cathedral aud gets to York at three o'clock.
 At York the tourist has plenty of time to visit the Minister and other historic buildings before catching the S:i5 train to Hamburgh. He coaches through the Trossachs and takes steamer through Loch Katrtne and Loch Lomond. Then the train to Glasgow.
 After dinner the hustler takes the night train out of Glasgow by way of Androssan to Belfast, reaches Dublin tn the afternoon and takes the night train to Killarney.

Archbishop Ryan, noted Philadelphia prelate, rode in carriage to the parochial residence with Bishop Glennon, who ts rather diminutive in size and of slight build, especially in the stomachic re gions, while Archbishop Ryan Is tall and very robust. As they alightsd from the carriage, Archbishop Ryan said to his companion; Bishop Glennon. opce was asked to explain the differ ence between a bishop and an arch bishop. l answered" (and the arch bishop extended his arms in a semi circle from his own healthy body. at the same time glancing rather sharply at Bishop Glennon), "'The difference is all in the arch.'"

PEARLS FIND READY MARKET
Those From the Mississippi Only Slightly Second in Demand to
 Deep Water Products.

Arkansas Is the greatest pearl pro dreds of men engage in the pearl hunt. It is said that the fresh water pearl of Arkansas of the highest class cannot be distinguished from the fin- est deep sea jewel. Throughout the south generally thousands of people follow the pearl fishing industry and make comfortable living at it. Up to a few years ago the jewel wealth contained in the river beds of the Mississippi valley was completely hid den. It was not supposed that the fresh water mussel was pearl bear CT, or that 1t had any value except for fish bait.
 The fresh water mussel is sought now not only for the precious stone It may have hidden In it's shell. but for the shell itself. which is manutac- tured into stick pins. cuff links. and buttons of every description. The shell fisheries have for years extend ed far up the Mississippi river. A re- cent writer on the subject puts fresh water pearls into four classificatfons true pearls, baroques, slugs, and chicken feed.
 The first, or true, pearl Ire of a definite shape, and regular form, round oval, or pear shaped. These command the highest prices. Baroques are pearls of irregular form. Slugs are low grade baroques. The smaller size, the kind used in inexpensive though genuine and neat jewelry, go by the professional name of chicken feed.

"HIs Goose Is Cooked"

The expression. "his goose ia cook sd." appears in various forms. and means that his cause Is ruined. It has some reference to the common but erroneous opinion that -goose' is SYNONYMOUS with fool" Tho idea has crept Into more than one language and "wtlt not down." It Is generally understood that cooking his goose" Is a phrase which originated when the king of Sweden. on approaching a hos tile town. excited the contempt of tha inhabitants by the smallness of his army. To express this they hung out a goose for him to shoot at. whereup' on the king set fire to the town to cook their goose"

MERELY A POPULAR BELIEF
Scholars Question Whether the Apple Was the "Forbidden Fruit" in the
 Garden of Eden.

Why and how 1t has happened that fruit that was forbidden in the Gar den of Eden is one of the great pug zles of Biblical scholars. The fact is that in Genesis 3. where the incident of the eating of this fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil" is mentioned no name whatever Is given to the fruit Al! that is said is: And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat (yerse 6).
 Tn fact, scholars doubt very serious ly whether it was the apple at all. They suggest that all evidence points to 1t having been the quince, fragrance of which was held in the highest es- teem by the Orientals. Another point in favor of the quince is that it is the fruit which was sacred to Venus, the goddess. of live, and in a great many of the ancient writings the qutnce Is very frequently mentioned in this man ner. In Babylonia Ishtar took the place of Venus in the Roman mythol- ogy, and it should be remembered that the story of the creation origina- ted with the Babylonians. All evi- .deace. seems to point away from the apple having been the Forbidden Fruit" and towards the quince as hav- ing been that fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil"
