READY FOR A WRECK.
The Careful Man Who Believed In
Taking Every Precaution.

aking Every Precaution.
Two friends boarded great trans
atlantic liner and set sail for Cher
bourg. One was good fellow. The
other was n niggardly man. The first
night out they went to their state
room.
Say, Bob" said the niggardly man,
~ wish you'd step out on deck while
I undress."
That's remarkable request" OBJ.
jected the good fellow. why have
you developed this streak of bashful-
ness at this late day? l never saw any
signs OF 1t before"
Never mind about that" said the
niggardly man. You get out!"
After long and acrimonious argu-
mcnt the good fellow went out on deck
and stayed half un hour. When he
returned to the stateroom the nlggard,
ly man was stretched out in the up
per berth. Moreover, he was dressed
up like a Christmas tree in a berib-
boned nightgown and n woman's bou.

"what In thunder is the matter? Why
have you got that makeup on?"

Peru the Source Of Cocaine.

There is a shrub In high Peru which
does not bring the blessing OF the po-
tato-I mean the cocoa tree, whence
comes cocaine. The leaf Is chewed by
young and old. Some doctors say It Is
very bad for the people Of Peru. The
infantile death rate is high, and they
say few old persons are to be found
Other doctors aver that the cocoa leaf

TRAVEL. IN SAN SALVADOR.

Crossing Rivers and ewamps Tourists
Often Get Free Baths.
More than once, says John II. Weeks
in his book among the Primitive Ba-
kongo," had in my San Salvador
journey strong krooboy part of
whose duty 1t was to carry me over
the many streams and swamps that
crossed the path. His name was re-
markable one. do net know how he
came by it, but the first time l met
him ! asked him his name, and he re-
piled in krooboy English, "My name,
massa, be Napoleon Bonaparte."
Sometimes Napoleon would have me
on his shoulders in the middle of n
river, and feeling the rush of water
against bis legs he would begin to
quake and say: "Massa, no fit for

would reply, Napoleon. fit fol

He would then take few more care

the stones slipping beneath his feet hi
would nervously call out in his curious
English: "Massa. massa. | no fit!

Napoleon often received from me tn
promise OF two or three cupfuls o
rice to steady him before lie lande,

THE SUPPLY OF BABIES.
What a Procession Of Those Born In
On MALI


One Year Would Mean.
1t has been computed that about
S0,OOO,OOO babies are born into the
world each year. The rate Of produc-
ton Is, therefore, about seventy per
minute, or more than one for every
beat of the clock.
With the one-a-sccond calculation
every reader is familiar, but it is not
every one who stops to calculate what
this means when 1t comes to years
supply. 1t will, therefore, probably
startle good many persons to find on
the authority of n well known stats.
tician, that, could the infants Of year
be ranged in line in cradles, the
cradles would extend around the globe.

rate of twenty a minute. 200 an hour,
during the entire year, the reviewer at
his post would have seen only the
sixth part Of the infantile host.
In other words, the babe that had to

IDOLS or THE ANCIENTs.
Those That Gave Their Names to the
Days Of the Week.

Lays OF the Weeks
In the museum Mt Berlin there are
representations Of the idols from
which the names Of the days Of the
week are derived.
From the idol Of the sun comes Sun
day. This idol is represented with his
face like the sun. holding burning
wheel with both hands on his breast,
signlfylng his course round the world
The idol Of the moon, from which
comes Monday. is habted In short
coat, like man. holding the moon In
his hands
Tuisco, from which comes Tuesday,
was one of the most ancient and pop
ular gods Of the Germans and Is rep
resented in his garments of skins, ac-
cordlng to their peculiar manner Of
clothing. The third day Of the week
was dedicated to his worship.
Wooden, from which comes Wednes-
day, was valiant prince among the
Saxons. His image was prayed to
for victory.
Thor, whence comes Thursday, Is
seated In bed, with twelve stars
over his head, holding a scepter In his
hand.
Friya, whence we have Friday, is
represented with drawn sword In his
right hand and n bow in his left.
Saeter, from which comes Saturday,
has the appearance of perfect wretch
edness; he is thin visaged. long haired,
with long beard. He carries water
pail in his right hand, wherein are
fruits and flowers.

HANGING PICTURES.
Tho Old Rule and Origin of the Term
ION the Line"

Tho Old Rule and Origin of the Term
ION the Line.'
People still speak Of pictures being
hung ION the line" at the Royal Acade-
my, but very few indeed, even among
the present members themselves, know
the origin of the term. The common
belief that 1t implies a place on the
walls on the level with u spectators
eye Is more or less correct. But when
the exhibitions were held In Somerset
House and Trafalgar square the term
meant something far more definite. In
those days people not only spoke of
pictures being hung "on the line" but
above the line" and "below the line"
THE line" was then a regular and per.
manent fixture. 1t was a horizontal
line exactly eight feet from the floor,
marked by projecting ledge that left
the surface Of the wall below It two
inches in advance of that which was
above II.
A picture was said to be hung ION
the line when the top OF Its frame
was level with this ledge. "Hung
thus" says G. d. Leslie, Il. A., in 'The
Inner Lift Of the Royal Academy"
"the picture, unless very small one
indeed. was exactly at the height to
be viewed comfortably by a specta.
tor"
The rule in old times was that oil
very large pictures, as well as whole
length and half length portraits, hat
to be placed above the line, the bot
toms of their frames resting on the
ledge which marked the line, but nc
lower. The line was thus preserved
level, no pictures breaking through Il
either from above or below.

wrote that "shampooing IL an opera

the curiosity TO go through and for
which l paid but n triAe. However,

we call massage" now. 1t was from
India that the word really came, and 1t

A LESSON IN GEOGRAPHY,
Do You Know How Far East South
Americas West Coast ia?


Americas West Coast Is?
In his book, the Conquest of the
tropics" Frederick Upham Adams
.alls attention to some little known
geographical facts:
Most of us picture Havana as nearly
south Of New York, when in fact 1t Is
about south Of Detroit. A study of
map Of the new world discloses the
disconcerting fact that all of the west
coast of South America is east of De-
trolt, and that most OF it is hundreds
OF miles east Of New York city. The
truth Of the matter Is that we should
call that continent Southeast Amer
ica."
! also made the astounding discov-
cry that considerable portion of
South America lies north of the south
erly sections Of North America. When
we set sail from Colon for Santa Mar
Ia, COLOMBIA, we do not head south
or southeast, we point our prov north
east This Is almost as puzzling rs the
other fact to the effect that Colon, the
Caribbean port (the supposed east
porU, is twenty odd miles west of Pan
anna City, which is on the Pacific and
presumably west end Of the canal. 1t
Is positively uncanny to look out Of n
window of the Tivoli hotel, in Panama
City, and watch the sun rise squarely
out of the Pacific ocean! OF course
an accurate map justiiics the sun in
selecting the Pacific for rising rather
than setting purposes, but 1t never
seemed right or proper to me. Oceans
should stay where they belong, and
the Pacific has no business to twist
itself TO the cast Of Panama
