He Knows n Nnm

"That fellow certainly needed a haircut" remarked a customer who had just taken the chair occupied by an individual with wondrous thatch- covering, in a nearby tonsorial atelier
 That man is the finest musician in New York, said the barber. ''Why do musicians wear long hair?' asked the inquisitive customer. ''Pshaw, I thought everybody knew that" an- swered the man in the white coat. They wear long hair to protect their ears, of course-their sensitive ears. All depends with musicians on the ears, the same as all depends on the eyes with painters. And the ears of musicians are delicate, liable to take cold, liable to aches, infiammations and what not. So they protect them with long hair, and you have no more right to laugh at the mane of pianist or violinist than at the protective shields and pads of your favorite half Dack!"-New York Times.

Metric System.

The fundamental unit of the metric system is the meter, the unit of length. It is 3937 inches The prefix milIi means one thousandth, centi, one-hun. dredth, deci, one-tenth; deka, ten; hecto, one hundred; kilo, one thou sand. Where miles are used in Eng land and the United States for meas uring distance the kilometer (1,OOO meters) is used in metric countries. The kilometer is about furlongs- There are about 1,600 meters in a stat ute mile, 20 meters in a chain and . meters in a rod. The meter is used for dry goods, merchandise, engineer ing construction, building and other purposes where the yard and foot are used. The meter is about a tenth longer than the yard. The centimeter and millimeter are used instead of the inch and it's fractions in machine con- struction and similar work. The cen timeter, as it's name shows, is the hundredth of a meter. It is used in cabinet work, III expressing sizes or papers, books and many cases where the inch is used. The centimeter is about two-fifths Of an inch and the millimeter about one twenty-fifth of an inch. The millimeter is divided for finer work into tenths, hundredths and thousandths.

Rouoh on the Dou.

Here is another way of wheedling a too tender-hearted public out of the living you are too lazy to work for This is the trick: A shabbily dressed man, with clever dog as a confed. crate, strolls along a crowded street and losses into the gutter a piece of stale bread. The next minute you see both the man and the dog rolling in the dirt and apparently fighting say agely for possession of the bread The crowd that assemblies showers small coins upon the supposed starving man, who sheds copious tears of gratitude. The dog gets lost in the shuff1e, but soon rejoins his owner and the two re- peat the performance as often as may be necessary.

Psyche of canua.

Edmund von Mach in his Hand book of Greek and Roman Sculpture. % says that the marble Psyche of Ca pua, so-called," was discovered in the ruins of the amphitheater in Ca pua, together with the Capuan Aphro- dite, ln the middle of the eighteenth century. The lower part of the nose has been restored and the entire fig ure has been polished to obtain a smooth surface. The figure seems too mature to be a Psyche and may be an image of Aphrodite. Judged as a piece of architectural decoration this Psyche is perfect" says Von Mach. Studied close at hand ir is very disappointing. The body is in dicated by graceful outlines, but there is no fine modelling anywhere"

rxrannioaI conventIonaIItx.

There is little doubt that one of the most oppressive, injurious, detestable forces in the world is the force of con ventionality, that instinct which makes men judge character and an ac tion, not by it's beauty CT it's mer it's, but by comparing it with the standard of how the normal man would regard it. This vast and in tolerable medium of dullness, which penetrates our lives like a thick, dark mist, allowing us only to see the ob ject in range of an immediate vision hostile to all originality, crushingly respectable, that dictates our homes our occupations, our amusements, our emotions, our religion, is the most ruthless and tyrannical thing in the world-Arthur Christopher Benson.

Pile up NickeIs and Dimes

A good plan to break oneself from
 he habit of spending nickels and
 Hines needlessly is to put the sum
 aside one is tempted to spend and
 watch it mount up. In this way one
 1as fund to draw upon when things
 really needed are to be got at a bar
 gain, and the money will never be missed. Also, there will probably be ] sum worth while, so that one can lay in a stock of the needed article in- stead of purchasing one or two with the small available sum. There is an economy in buying a stock. For in- stance, two pairs of stockings will not last nearly one-third the time six pairs will wear, and the same with lin gerie, household linens and footwear. The service is greatly prolonged by keeping up number of these. If the young housekeeper will try this plan of saving the pennies I am sure she will never break the habit. It will be such a pleasure to know there is little nest egg that can be spent with out being missed. If there is nothing specially to be bought, the sum could furnish the cost of little outing or the table for luncheon party, provid- ing little luxuries which otherwise might have seemed extravagant.- Dispatch.

Dew Ponds.

The name dew pond' is given to certain isolated ponds on the upper levels of the chalk downs of the south of England and elsewhere. Their name seems to imply that they depend on dew and not entirely upon rain for their maintenance as a source of water supply for cattle, for which they are used The question has been dis cussed a good deal, but not Settled; the balance of evidence seems to be against the view that dew deposits make any important contribution to the supply of water. The construction of dew ponds is, however, sail prac. ticed on traditional lines, but it is said that a new dew pond has first to be filled artifcially. A dew pond does not come into existence by the gradu- al accumulation of water in an 1m- pervious basin, from the settlement of evaporated water from the atmos- phsrs.

cIax eird vs. LIve Rlrd speed.


 In comparing trap with wing-shoot- ing the contrasts are what stand out most prominently. Some of these are rather interesting to note: The clay bird is going fastest when it leaves the trap and loses speed very rapidly; the real bird is going least fast when 1t gets up and gains speed rapidly. It is estimated that the former has an initial velocity of 15O feet per second, whereas the real bird starts with only the spring imparted by it's legs. In spite of this tremendous advantage at the start, however, it is amazing to see how quickly the real bird catches up; a clay bird will travel about 75 feet the first second and at the end of that time a quail flushed at the same instant would be only 25 feet behind it and ruffed grouse from 15 to 20 feet behind.-Outing.
