Emsley w. Johnson, attorney, was
taking a spin In his car on a country
road southeast of Indianapolis the
other evening when, approaching 0
little town, he saw a large, plump
leather purse lying between the
wheel tracks. Mr.. Johnson thrilled
with the ancient pleasure Of dlscov

out, wondering silently who had
dropped the wallet. and how many
green or yellow crinky ones were In

and saw that the roadway was walled

in as If to close the highway.

purse had been, the attorney rubbed

there was a wide welt in the dust as

AMERICA IN THE STONE AGE
When Columbus Came Few Of lite In
habitants Knew the Use
of Metals.

When Columbus landed at San Sal
vadOr, nearly all North America was
in the Stone age. The Mexlcans were
using copper, and though they did not
alloy it to make bronze, they treated
the metal in way to make it fairly
good cutting material A few of the
northern tribes of Indians either
worked copper or traded for 1t. But
the vast majority of them used stone
and this in a contiAent richer than
any other in easily found and smelted
copper and iron. In northern Michi-
gan, copper mines were found with
blocks of ore separated from the bed
yein-yet the natives who hunted
around these mines used flint arrow
heads.
The stone implements and weapons
used by the Mohawk chief in the days
of Columbus were not a whit better
than those used by the Cro-Magnon
people of France $4,000 years ago.
Moreover, these ancient Frenchmen
seem to have arrived in that country
with their culture full grown--which
means that it must have had long
slow development elsewhere, probably
in Asia.

WIG TOO SMALL FOR FRANKLIN
Representative From the New Amer
lea Had to Appear Before French
King in Bald Pate.

Benjamin Franklin was about to be
presented to the French king on the
occasion of his first visit to France in
the capacity of representative from
the new America. The court custom
of the time demanded that one going
to an audience with the king must
wear wig of the proper fashion. A
count, who had Franklin in tow, sent
a wigmaker the day before to take
Franklin's measure and fit him out
for the audience. The wigmaker ar
rived at Franklin's lodgings, measured
the poll of the great American fore
and aft and around and about and
took his departure. An hour before
the audience the wigmaker returned
with the wig. But when Franklin at
tempted to put it on it would not
At; he couldn't begin to get it on his
head. "Slr," said Franklin to the
wigmaker. your wig is unfortunately
too small for my head"
"PardOnnez moi, monsieur" replied
the wigmaker, "your head is vastly too
large and quite beyond the fashion of
the court"
Franklin appeared, therefore, at
court with his bald pate and shaggy
gray hair.-Detroit Free Press.

CHEAPEST HOLIDAY in PARIS
Week In French Capital May Be Passed
Quite Aereeably on Sum Of Twen-
ty-FlVe Dollars.

Do you know that it is possible to
spend weeks holiday in Paris for
f5?
1t sounds impossible, but it can be
done, says writer in London Tit
Bits.
The f5 does not include travelling
expenses, for these vary according to
starting point, route and so on.
If modest hotel is chosen the
charge is about 20 francs a night,
The tourist should adopt the French
habit of having rolls and coffee for
breakfast and this should cost him
about go confines a day. Luncheon
should be taken at one of the numer
GUS cheap restaurants, where it can
be obtained for 5 or 6 francs.
1t should be noted that there is a
small charge for CLOTH plates, etc. Two
francs is ample for tea and the eve
ming meal should be similar to lunch
con. The correct time for 1t is be-
tween 6:45 and $780, Sundry fares
should not amount to more than II
francs.
Altogether 1t should cost 1856 francs
for food, lodging and sundry fares
There are about go francs In f5, and
so there remain 45 francs for sight
seeing and extras. This should be am
pie, for many of the most interesting
places in Paris, such as the Bots de
Boulogne, the boulevards, the world
famed picture galleries and Notre
Dame, that can be seen for nothing.

mpead MANS Chest y

Robert Louis Stevenson made this
dltty famous in Treasure Island" but
the verses were not his own. Thou
sands of persons have speculated since
whether the chest was part of the
anatomy of corpse or merely sail
Or's box for personal belongings. The
fact is that a certain bay in the Carib-
bean islands was known as Dead
Mans Chest" In the days of piracy
because of its resemblance 10 sail
or's trunk.
The identity Of the author of the
ballad is unknown Half a century
ago it was a popular "chantey" on
the merchant ships of those days.
There are dozen stanzas in the
original text, dealing with the wreck
ing Of an English pirate vessel after
gruesOme night of mutiny and murder.
Stevenson did not plaglarize In
using the verse. for he merely put into
the mouth Of one Of his characters a
few lines that were at that time known
all over the seven seas.

How to Ship Flowers.

When packing flowers for mail,
never send them in cardboard box;
always in tin or wooden Fill box,
but be careful to avoid the slightest
pressure on the blooms. Sprinkle
flowers well with water and use only
tissue paper to line the box. A good
way to pack long-stemmed flowers
is to lay them in rows at each end Of
the boX, their stems overlapping in
the center.
Take stick Just trne longer
than The inside width OF the box
and spring it across tie center OF the
box, pressing it well down on TO the
ends of the stems This plan keeps
every bloom from moving aud be-
coming bruised or broken. Roll u.s.

prevents any damage being done TO
the stalks. Never use cotton wool
except when packing very delicate
specimens,

QUALITY, NOT SIZE, COUNTS
Mans Mental Superiority Not Due to
the Relative Size Of He
Brain.

Elephants and whales are said to
surpass human beings in the weight
of their brains. But, compared with
the weight of the whole body, there
are not many animals which can beat
man-in fact, 1t may surprise the
reader to know that there are ami
mails existing which rank ahead of hui
manipulating, of course, the weight
Of the brain as against that of the
whole body.
Many kinds Of monkeys, certain
members of the squirrel family, and
few of the mouse species, all being
small animals, surpass man in brains
so we are told. Any animal, however,
which Is larger than man, has no
brain which is relatively as large as
his.
1t would appear that mans mental
superiority is due rather to the quail
ity and organization Of his brain than
to the size, says London Answers
writer.
The usual weight Of mans brain II
said to be 491a ounces, as against a
woman's A ounces.
A small head is no criterion as to
the brains of person; 1t depends
upon the cerebral convolutions as to
ones brain power. Indeed, 1t is said
that the large brains do not always de.
note great mental capacity.
Many celebrated men In the past
have possessed brains weighing less
than the average 491s ounces of man.

A brain weighing over 60 ounces
said to have been the heaviest known

Another man who never earned large
sum was said to have record brain
for weight, so that size and weight are
nothing to 90 BY
Fishes brains weigh a 3,SS8th part
of their whole bodies.

ARE YOUR JEWELS GENUINE7
Many Precious Stones Now Are Iml.
tated So Closely That Detection
Is Difficult.

Rubles, sapphires, emeralds. MANY
other stones, can now be initiated so
beautifully that 1t is no longer easy to
detect the difference, upon a casual ex-
animation. Pearls are made in mum.
Der of varieties, and imitation pearls
are plentiful and often worn.
While only an expert can determine
whether some gems are genuine.
there are certain simple methods by
which in most cases 1.-THE genuine ar
ticle" may be detected at home.
Color is usually considered the first
great criterion of all precious stones.
II Is now generally conceded, however,
that color alone is not a criterion by
which stones may be judged; other
physical properties must be taken into
consideration by the jewel expert.
The structure of the stone is a more
certain test. The optical properties
Of the stone, however are the most
certain test--geuerally known as its
retroactive property" This can be

Refraction means simply the bend

which these light waves are bent Is
called the 'refractive index" In
most transparent bodies, including
gems, the retroactive index is con-
slant and known. Hence a degree Of
refraction which differs from that
established for the species leads to
the certainty that the stone under ex-
animation is not genuine one, but
an imitation.-Hereward Darlington,
