An English writer has Just discov-

There are two which were either un.
consciously humorous or intended to
be bitterly sarcastic: --"

kissed his sister, Betsy Barbara had.
somehow, the feeling that she was
meeting stranger. For the irst time.
at any rate, she expressed him to
herself. He was small-but she had
always noticed that obvious fact. Look
ing at the figure on the bed. one would
have called the sister the taller OF the
two. He was nevertheless perfectly
formed. He had q plume of black hair
which glimmered In the gaslight with
dusky reflection of Betsy -Barbaras
native gold-andsatin turban.
She sat for five minutes, while broth.
er and sister made her the focus Of
their conversation. But she was not
amused. In the presence of his sis

from the light fencer with words Of

grave; he was formal. 1t was puz-

summoned tact to the aid of manners
and maiden modesty. She invented an
excuse to shield herself against Span
ish politeness, and left Estrilla bow
ing gravely at the threshold.
The house seemed deserted. 1t was
too late for venturing forth alone; yet,
somehow, she must exercise the vague
black visions which began to surround
her-she who must keep courage for
two. Also, something which she could
not analyze was stirring disquiet in
her SOUL

to herself. and sighed again. So medi-

stairs. The doors OF the parlor were
open; the lights were on; the baby
grand piano stood open. inviting.
Only merry tunes, though she
warned herself as she sat down. And
she started the liveliest jig she knew.
Presently, she began to sing in her
pleasant unframed voice, which wob-
bled entrancingly whenever she got
out of the middle register. But music
is the slave Of moods. And before she

Then Betsy Barbara dropped her
hands from the keys, and the music
stopped abruptly. She was just aware
that fine floating tenor had been

Senior Estrilla stood looking down on
her.

said. And then, That is Scotch song,

bara smiled. nodded. resumed her
keys; and they sang together.

down at Betsy Barbara. His mood

whim to talk.

LATIN ON ". S. CURRENCY.

Is found on papers issued in the latter
part of the eighteenth century.
The old seal of the continental period
was replaced in 1S49 by another cut in
cast steel by Edward Stabler of Mont
gomery county. Md. He was ordered to
make a facsimile of the old one, which
was nearly worn out. Mr.. Stabler suE-
gested some minor improvements. but
was informed that the design must be
copied exactly in accordance with the
preston from the continental seal
taken in 1916 with one from the seal
now in use a slight difference in the
wreaths on the sides of the shield is
to be found, and tiny dots have been
introduced on what was at the previous
date blank space about the principal
features within the shield.
Miss Triepel thinks that the adop-
ton of the new seal was due to GER
tain legislation, for in chapter 81,
section 5, of the Statues at Large for
1919 one finds the following:
And be it further enacted. That all
books, papers. documents and records
in the War. Navy. Treasury and Post
Generals office. may be copied and GER
titled under seal in the same manner
as those in the State Department NAV
now be by law, and with the same force
and effect. and the Attorney General
shall cause seal to be made and pro-
vided for his office. with such device as
the President of the United States shall
approve"
The historian OF the seal says that the
diameter of the seal now in use is ONE
eighth inch greater than that of the
continental seal But these differences
are so minute that the casual observer
would never notice them. In all essen
tial features they are the same. SO that
the design of the seal of the Treasury
is older than the national
government

One strong reminder of the mighty
tragedy of the siege of Paris is that IL
Is difficult. IL not impossible. to find in
France any person that was born in
Paris during that siege-that is, be-
:wAen September II. 1870. and jan
reason for this is that the babies born
during that period came to life SO
weak and received such poor susie
nance that nearly every one OF them
died in infancy.
One of the facts in connection with
people are recalling today and which
readers of the history of the Franco
German war will recall, is that at the
beginning of November. 1870, there oc-
CURED lull in the fighting. the neu-
trail powers In Europe having secured

posal was advanced by the French gov

a small amount Of food should be al
lowed daily to enter. SO that II nego-
tistions failed Paris would not find It
self I'm worse condition than at the be-
ginning the truce. The proposal was
rot acceded to by Germany and siege
operations were continued. A writer OF
the history of that time has said that
in the reduction of Paris the Germans
relied on the policy OF starvation and
that In pursuance of this policy the

lasted 1872 days.

An Elephant Labyrinth.

NEAR Ayuthia, formerly the capital
en- OF Siam. is curious labyrinth in
which elephants are captured alive.
The labyrinth isFformed by a double
row of immense tree trunks set firmly
in the ground. the space between them
gradually narrowing. Where 1t begins
at the edge of the forest the opening OF
the labyrinth is more than mile
broad. but as it approaches Ayuthia it
becomes SO narrow that the elephants
cannot turn around. Tame elephants
are employed to lure wild ones into
the trap. Having reached the inner
end OF the labyrinth. the tame ele-
plants are allowed to pass through q
gate. white men lying in wait slip
