Much Property Reverts to Crown.

Few people realize the large amount
Of property which passes every year
to the crown Of England owing to the
owners dying without heirs or next
of-kin. and without having made q
will. In most Of these cases the de-
ceased is an illegitimate person with
no children.
As rule the crown does not ap-
propriate the whole Of the property,
but makes what Is called a compass
sionate allowance to the relatives Of
the deceased. although they may not
be his relatives according to law, and
in some cases to friends and servants
who have performed services for him
which entitle them to confederation.
The amount Of the allowance is
determined by the treasury, or, in
the case Of the estates Of persons dy-
ing within the duchy Of Lancaster. by
the chancellor Of the duchy.
The money does not pass to the
king himself. but to the nation, and
thus goes to relieve taxation.

Best Conditions for Steep.


The best time for sleeping is that
time that will favor the greatest de-
gree of relaxation. With most people
this is some time during the hours
of darkness, when there isn't so much
going on to distract the senses Of
sight and hearing. Just what hours
should be devoted to sleep is not as
important as that. there should be
enough of them. The so-called beau
ty sleep, achieved during the hours
preceding midnight. is fact only be-
cause it adds to the number Of hours
which, under ordinary conditions. we
might be supposed to spend In bed.
Most Of us get up at about the same
time every morning-no matter how
early or how late we've gone to bed
the night before. So there isn't a
word Of truth In the old fable that
one hour Of sleep before midnight Is
worth any two hours later. Sleep
Is sleep, provided only that 1t is sound
restful sleep-whether we get 1t at
eight o'clock in the evening, two
O'Clock In the morning. or one o'clock
the next afternoon. IF we can get
our sleep undiluted by disturbance go
much the better.

DO SOMETHING WORTH WHILE
Much Benefit Will Come From Deter.
nrination to Make Each Day
Record of Accomplishment.

The one who starts out in the morn
ing with a determination to do some
thing during the day that will amount
to something, that will be distinctive,
that will have individuality. that will
give him satisfaction at night, is a
great deal more likely not to waste
his day in frivolous, unproductive work
than the one who starts out with no
plan.
Begin every day, therefore, with
program and determine that, let what
will come, you will carry it out as
closely as possible. Follow it up per-
sistently, day after day, and you will
be surprised at the result.
Make up your mind at the very
outset of the day that you will accom-
plish something that will amount to
something; that you Will not allow
callers to fritter away your time, and
that you will not permit the little an
noyances of your business to spoil
your days work. Make up your mind
that you will be larger than the trifles
which cripple and cramp mediocre
lives, and that you will rise above petty
annoyances and Interruptions and
carry out your plans In large and
commanding way.
Make every day Of your life count
for something; make 1t tell in the
grand results. not merely as an added
day, but as an added day with some
thing worthy achieved.

MAYAs INDIANS BEFORE iNcAs
Race That Has Long Since Disap'
peared Ranked With the Aztecs
In Scale Of Civilization.

Prcscott's Conquest of Peru ac-
counts for the popular belief that all
the people of this country We're In
caS. The. truth is that the greatest
part of the textiles of ancient Peru
jelongs to q people that had passed
away before the Incas tribes reached
the coast.
The Mayas We're the ancient race
of Indians which settled in the low
lands of Guatemala in Central Amer
lea. They ranked with the Aztecs in
civilization. They excelled in sculp-
ture, cotton weaving and feather
work. About the sixth century they
are supposed to have disappeared.
They left behind them cities like an
cient Qairigua, now q mass Of ruins
overgrown by the jungle. Half
buried by tropical growth today the
psychologists are uncovering huge
monoliths sculptured with strange de-
signs and each bearing a giant face.
The Mayas have disappeared but
the Indians, forming more than half
the population Of Guatemala, are their
direct heirs.
Their bright-colored blankets and
scarfs, their primitive methods OF
barter their open-air markets filled
with great heaps of strange stuffs and
articles, should capture the magma
ton of any modern textile designer
with ideas.

WAS ELEGANT SCHEME, BUT
Great Detective Had Overlooked One
Possible Happening, and the
Witness Had Not.

There were just IS guests at Mrs.
Hyphen Ramrod's party. She thought
1t would prove unlucky and when she
missed her $1,000 tungsten ring she
knew it was. She telephoned Sheer
luck Bones, the great detective, fmme-
diately after the discovery and few
minutes later he arrived.
Ladies ard gentlemen" he an
nounced in his cold, clear tones, "a
tungsten ring worth $4,000 has been
stolen and one of you is the thief,
not to use harsher word. Mrs. Hy-
phen Ramrod wishes ME to spare the
culprit's feelings, inasmuch as he is
her guest. Very well. II you will

time to lay the ring on the table. I'M

I shall be obliged to search you all.
But l should like a witness to be
present. Mrs. Ramrod, kindly procure
a Witness"
Mrs. Ramrod left and returned with
q passer-by, a tall man with side whis-
kers and a vacant stare. The great
detective waved his hand, the room
was plunged in darkness, and slowly
he counted fifty. At "forty-eight" the
unmistakable tinkle of tungsten
against wood was heard as the stolen
ring was tossed on the table. I'm
mediately afterward there was a vio-
lent crash, as of breaking glass. The
great detective turned on the lights.

PASSING Of the Tall Hat.

The quaint tall hat which is now
