NIGGA HAD DONE ITS WORK
Ample Proof of Its Potency, Though
There Was No Occasion for Many
Congratulations.

A japanese, Mr.. Aisaku Waseda, dis
cusses japanese humor in the Tourist,
and offers the following selection:
Said an innkeeper's wife to her hus-
band:
1.-THE guest who came this evening
carries package which seems to con-
tain things of great value. wish he
would leave it behind"
II have good idea," said the hus-
band. 81 will give him great deal
Of myoga."
The innkeeper carried out his plan
and gave myoga, a spicy vegetable
supposed to produce forgetfulness, In
abundance to the guest with soup and
with vegetables, and soon after the
guest had departed he hopefully in
spected the room. There was no trace
of the coveted baggage.
The landlady began to scott at the
inefficacy Of myoga as an oblivion pro.
Queer, but her husband admonished
her not to lose faith so easily.
"The myoga has had its effect" he
declared.
"What do you mean" demanded the
woman.
"Why, he forgot to pay his BILL" re-
piled the husband.

BROUGHT JOY TO ART LOVERS
Masterpiece of Painting, Recently
Found in Spain, Has Stirred Critics
and Connoisseurs.

A discovery that his given critics
and connoisseurs of art in Spain a fine
topic of conversation was made the
other day when somebody found in an
old barn at EXtrelhadura, an ancient
painting of great merit, but with moth
ing about it that has yet indicated the
name of the painter, the Christian
Science Monitor states.
Manuel Cossio, an expert, declares it
work Of "transcendent Importance
for the history of Spanish art" pre-
cursor of the figures by Ell Greco and
Zurbaran-but offers no opinion as to
the identity of the artist. Mr.. Exhev-
arrieta, q millionaire of Bilboa, comes
forward with the large sum of money
needed to persuade the possessor not
to offer the picture for foreign pur-
chase, and so it remains temporarily
I'm the Prado museum while the gov
eminent decides whether or not to ac-
Quire it permanently. The critics seem
in agreement that the unknown paint
err painted it in the first half of the
sixteenth century. Otherwise the world
has found new art mystery; and ap-
parently, too, the man who owned the
barn is as much surprised as anybody
else.

BRITISH BIRTH RATE GROWS
More Boys Are Born In Times of Hard
ships, Official Figures
Show.

London.-More babies were born In
England during August than in any
previous month since the beginning Of
the war. Official returns show the
number to be $3.50, equivalent to an
annual rate Of Is per 1000, and 461
more babies than in the same month
Of 1918.
II believe that during and after wars
more boy babies are born than girls"
said DR.. Mary Scharlieb, a specialist,
discussing the report. 81 think official
figures will prove that more boys are
born during periods of stress, hard
ship and food shortages and more girls
during periods Of wealth, ease and
luxury"
"a baby these days is a very ex-
pensive addition to the average Brit
ish family" said another doctor. 1.-THE
cost of everything, from blankets to
perambulators has practically doubled.
Milk is a shilling quart and nurses
three guineas a week. The infants
extensive wardrobe is also costly af
fair these days, while his cot costs
twice as much as before the war. Only
millionaires can afford twins, much as
we need them to repair the waste Of
war;"
