All in the Point of View.

Pavlowa says when her company ar
rived in Buenos Aires all the papers
were full of their praises except n lit
tie new native paper, which published
IN article saying nothing else than
that "they We're surprised that the men
and women of the company were so
immoral"
AS Nine. Paylowa is very particular
about her company that hurt a lot and
she quickly made inquiries as TO why
so astounding a statement should have
been made.
"Why," answered the editor, "the
girls go about unveiled with short
skirts on and the men often wear no
hats !"-Detroit Free Press.

How the Herring Built the Navy.

We derive the idea Of our defensive
British navy from King Alfred, the
real founder Of our fleet, who believed
in having bigger, faster, better and
more ships than your enemy, which is
always sane policy to follow. But
Oliver Cromwell really gave us our
herring navy when he saw the neces-
sity of taking their sea-trade domi-
nance from the Dutch, which trade
was mostly concerned with the herring
fishery.-Tit-Bits.

Ancestral Brains.

Some folks live on the glory of their
ancestors. They tell of the great
things they did and the greater things
they think they did. Then when they
get the ear of some one especially
sympathetic and credulous, there is an
eruption of boast of greatness that
might have been. These poor creatures
live in the past. It's no wonder they
do so little in the present. S~s-"~

Grim Men of War Affected by Pa

Only the Passing Of Little Coffin on Its
Way to the Cemetery, but for \
Time II Held Up Traffic in
Channel Port.

There was some noise along The
tetty and yet more noise in the wide
and narrow streets of the town
changing street cars, whip-crackinl
fiacres, yelling newsboys, hOnkinl
taxis, and soldiers and sailors tramp
ing the pavements. Noise enough and
of the kind BETTING a channel port

we heard the noise let down and the

crucifix held high before him. Be-
hind him was another priest reading
from book of prayer. Two laymen
came next, bearing little white paint
ed table with little white coffin-a
cheap board cOfiin-resting on ii. There
was canopy of plain white boards
over the little coffin. There were a
few white blossoms on the canopy and
beside the coffin a few lilies-of-the-val-
ley-only a few.
Two other laymen followed the cof-
fin.bearers. All the men were bare
headed. Three wOmen-young wom-
en- and young mothers to look at
followed the two, men. One of the
young women was in deep black. A
group of little girls followed the young
woman. Two very old women came
last. No more than that, walking
through crowded street at two o'clock
of bright day!
1t was on us almost before we saw
1t. Men took off their hats as it pass

times mems lips murmured short
prayer, always the women did. The
soldiers and sailors, when they We're
French, saluted nearly always; the
British sometimes. The officers. if
anything, saluted more profoundly
than the enlisted men and, when they
did not stop dead still, held hand
TO their caps for eight or ten PAGES in
passing.
Two soldiers were talking with two
girls of the streets. One of the sol
diers took off his cap. One of the
girls stopped talking to say a little
word of prayer. Both soldiers faced
about and all four gazed in silence for
long after the little cortege had pass
ed on. Then the first soldier put on
his cap, all faced about and resumed
their talk, but more slowly and not
quite so loudly as before. S'H-'-f Z .-''S-Si

Women Dive for Shells In Japan,

The Japanese industry of making
buttons, scarfpins, shirt studs, cuff
links and the like from sea shells
brought from the Indian ocean, the

Facts About the Bloodhound.

BlOOdhounds We're first known as
sleuthhounds owing to their ability
to track the deer, wild boar or the
wolf. When the wounded game
broke away and was lost, these good
nosed dogs were used in trailing the
quarry by the blood trail, and hence
they were finally called bloodhounds.
