DEFINITION OF DOG DAYS
May Not Be Strictly Orthodox, But II
Surely Covers the Ground
Most Thoroughly.

We don't know whether there are
dog days, according to the almanac
that is, or not.
Several years have passed since we
had In the house one of those little
books with disemboweled gentleman
on the front cover, so there is no
means of finding out.
A hot and mnggy day is not dog
day, technically. unless the dog star,
Sirius. the original Skye terrier pre-.
sumably, is in evidence, or opposition,
or something. Life is serious enough
without delving into astronomy for
useless information.
Dog star or no dog star, dog days
are days when one does nothing more
worth while all afternoon than write
doggerel and goes home wearier than
ne has been in dogs age, to sleep like
dog and get up in the morning dog
tired.
Dogged around by the necessity to
labor one would. did happy opportun-
fly beckon, start off on a dog trot for
the nearest beach or sylvan lake, there
to camp out in a dog tent until au-
tumn's crisp days, occasionally SWIM
ming around dog fashion In the clear
and cooling waters, offering fervent
praise in dog Latin.

QUAINT LEGEND OF ALSAcE
Race of Giants Who Saw Importance
to Them of the Food
Producers.


There is a quaint old legend of Al
SAGE, recalls the Christian Science
Monitor, concerning family of giants
who, once upon time, lived in GER
tain castle in the old country. The
moral of the story seems appropriate
at time when the French minister of
agriculture is making special effort to
encourage the cultivation of land.
The giants lived, says the legend,
far from the peasants of the plain,
and one day the daughter of the
house who, though quite 4 child, was
already 30 feet high, strolled toward
the plain and saw laborer peacefully
blowing his field. She nicked up the
peasant, the horse and the pillow, and
put them In her pinafore and returned
to the castle to show what she had
found to her father.
what you think is but toy" said
the giant, SIS what produces the food
which enables US to live. Put back
the laborer and his horse where you
found them" From that time on
ward, adds the tale, the peasants were
never molested by the giants.

CANNOT MATCH THE BIBLE

The bulk of the people-business

FosTERED BY FRENCH KING
Famous sevres Ware Had Its Begin
ming When II FavorabIy Attracted
Attention Of Louis

Early In the eighteenth century the
manufacture Of rather artificial-look-
ing porcelain was begun at Rouen,
France. At ChantiIly. about the year
1725. a porcelain was made which imi-
tated the Imari ware of Japan. Some
Is years later another factory was es-
tablished at Vincennes, and now comes
the beginning of the famous Sevres.
1t was in the year 1853. so historians
interested in this subject tell us, that
the king, Louis XIV. who for the past
five years had been making donations
for the carrying on of the work, al
lowed the adjective '.royal' to be add
ed to the name of the work, and grant
ed the use of two interlaced LIS as
a trademark. In order to keep a
record of the porcelain made In diff
ferent years, a scheme of lettering
was arranged which, to the initiated,
would tell the tale. For example, an
A In the space between the two LIS
signified that the piece of porcelain
thus marked was made in that year in
which the king began to take an active
interest in the work, 1853. Three
years later the factory was removed
from VIncennes to Sevres, and it s
there that one may visit it today, over
in one corner of the beautiful park
Of st. Cloud. not far from the Seine.
And. in 1859. the king took 1t over
as a state industry, to be managed
henceforth as such.
Now, 1t happened that the making
Of porcelain appealed to Madame de
Pompadour. and she did everything In
her power to bring the Sevres prod
uct up to the highest possible artistic
standard, to popularize the ware at
court and throughout the country, and
even throughout the whole of Europe.
Among the beautiful colors which were
employed In this ware, one Of the love

TURK FIGHTS WITH FISTS
Story of a GallipoIi "scrap" That
Speaks Well fer the "Un-
speakabie."

There is a tale of Galllpoli that
deals with fight In the open and ex-
hibits the "unspeakable" Turk as q
fair and worthy enemy This is the
story
A young English officer, doing OBJ
servation work alone, was suddenly
confronted by Turkish officer, SINH
larry engaged. The Turk was as sur
prised as the Briton, but came forward
revolver In hand. The Englishman
had no revolvers. He stood his ground,
his hands in the large pockets Of his
tunic.
Seeing that his adversary was I'M
armed, the Turk, much to the surprise
of the Briton, threw down his gun and
put up his fists in approved prize ring
style, The Englishman put himself
on guard, and the next moment the
Turk flung himself on him, and the
pair began to fight desperately.
The men were about the same age,
the same weight and had adequate
knowledge of the art Of boxing. They
fought without stopping for about ten
minutes, BY that time each was ex-
hausted, and then paused for a brief
rest, only to continue their little private
accounting when they had found their
breath.
Round after round the fight went on,
while out in the Gulf Of Saros the
ships fired automatically. and back
on each Of them the field artillery
Numbered. Neither seemed to be able
to get any decisive advantage over the
other, and at last Turk and English
man rolled over on the ground and
laughed and laughed.
Just then the Englishman's hand
touched something. 1t was the Turks
pistol. He picked 1t up and handed it
to his enemy. Then the two young
men shook hands and each returned
TO MS own lines. @.-t,.

FIRST TEACHERS TO CHINA
Missionaries Followed the Close of
the War With Great Britain
in 1645.

The first general attempt to intro
duce Christianity into China dates
from April "a, 1916, when the Chinese
government, following the disastrous
war with Great Britain, granted per-
mission to foreigners to teach the
Christian religion. Missionaries from
many countries began Immediately to
flock to China, but in most places the
"white Devils" were received with hos
tility. The Emperor Taou-Kwang,
who in the latter part of his reign
favored the introduction of European
arts and religion, died In 1850, and
his son, Hieng-Fung, adopted reac-
tionary policy.
One of the odd results of the intro
duction of Christianity in China was
the appearance in 1851 of a rebel lead
er who called himself Tien-teh, and
who announced himself as the restor-
er of the worship Of the true god,
Shang-ti, and derived many of his dog
mas from the Bible. He called him
self the brother of Jesus, the second
son of God and the monarch of all be-
meath the skies, and demanded uni
versal submission. His insurScnt fol-
lowers called themselves Taepings, or
''Prince of peace" but the title WIS
utterly belied by their atrocious deeds.

Story.

In the Hotel Drouot recently, the
library of Jules Claretie, the eminent
French journalist. novelist, dramatic
author and former director of the
Coincide Franchise, who died In 1916,
was sold. Among other gems, his col
lection of books included the manu-

lished In 1851. The manuscript CON
tanned letter from Dumas to Jules
Claretie, informing the latter that for
these sixteen pages he was paid the
sum of $40.

was pleased" writes Dumas, "to re-
ceive this amount It was far more

script of La Dame aux Comellias,'
which sold to Michel Levy for the
sum of $50.
This novel. which Michel Levy pur-
chased for $50. yielded the latter $780,

ORIGIN Claimed hy Turts.

According to the Osmanli historians.
the original Turk was a grandson of
Noah. Though there were only eight
people in the ark when 1t was first
fioated, there were nine, 1t is asserted,
when 1t landed at Mount Arrat. The
additional one was the eldest son of
Japhet, born during the flood. His
name was Turk. A descendant in the
fourth generation, one Alindje Khan.
had two sons (twiGs) who were named
Tartar-Khan and Mogui. Khan. Tartar
was the father of the Turks; Mogul
was the father of the Mongols. Turks
and Mongols were thus closely related
by birth, and the wars which Mt once
broke out between them, and the rec
onciliations that speedily ensued, had
much of the nature of family quarrels.
The Turks We're the more frequently
triumphant, one Mongoi throne after
another yielding TO their arms. Not till
the Christian era was well advanced
did the chronological name of these chill

In the reign of Louis Philippe, a
Monsieur Terrat had been charged
with the duty Of fighting bugs in the
barracks of Paris. II must be believed
that the result was satisfactory since
by virtue of an order Of the general
inspector contracts were made In 1S46
with Monsieur Terrat for the destruc-
ton of these frightful insects. Mon
sieur Terrat demanded 90 confines for
each sleeping room. In case the first
night with the bugs was not decisive,
and If he should have to begin again
after some years, the second operation
shonld cost only 80 centlmes a room.
Moreover. In these operations he de-
stroyed the insects in the arms-rack,
guard house, police quarters and
prisons. When he became old Nom
sieur Terrat offered to communicate
the secret to the state for an indem-
nifty. But this offer was not accepted.
The secret died with the proprietor.
