kIna asenos,s Rent Roll.

King George recently applied 10 parliament for permission to sell cer- tain portions of his entailed duchy of Lancaster estates. The total rent roll of these valuable properties Is only about $276,000. It ought to be very great deal more, but for the fact that previous soverelgns were in the habit of granting what were in effect per petual leases at nominal rent, plus a substantial cash payment by the original lessee. It is for this reason that the present king has to be con tent with nosegay of roses as rental for that portion of the duchy estates on which stands St. olave's Grammar school, near Tower bridge; whereas what the lawyers term It's economic rent" has been calculated at about $25,0O0. Similarly, tablecloth, a fur coat, horse and halter, a currycomb. a nighcap, a pair of scarlet hose. "a falcon, cross-bow and a pair of tongs figure every year in the duchy accounts. Each article represents the trent" paid, or supposed to be paid, for some manor, farm or piece of Iand.-Brooklyn Eagle.

THROUGH EYES OF BIOLOGIST
Mani.of Science Sees Mother Earth
 as Many Hundred Millions Of Years Old.

5a -NG-E
 The geologist supposes that 1t took from sixty to three hundred millions
 of years for the earth's crust to as-
 sume its present sppearapce. and cal-
 culates that from the time when the first rudimentary form of life appeared
 there have been 12 Important geologic
 periods of the advancement of life,
 the last of them being the Quarter
 nary or Post-Terdary, when mankind appeared. The first part of this Post Tertiary age or period when man exist
 ed Is called the Pleistocene. At that
 time beds of drift gravel were deposlteds In which have been found flint hatchets and other implements, apparently made by men. Primitive man is also known
 as Paleolithic, and the age in which \ he lived Is often called the old Stone age. Some authorities, however, be- lieve that primitive man existed be-
 fore Paleolithic man, but left no traces of his existence. He probably gained his food through hunting, wandering
 along the river valleys-and then later took to cave dwelling. Rude drawings have been found in caves, the work Of the "eave man The flint. weapons
 gradually impfByed, the cave man be-
 came better artist, he domesticated z animals and cultivated the soil. Tn this { period which is called the New Stone age, man Is known us Neollthic man. Then came the Bronze age, when bronze took the place of flint: after that the Iron age and the Age of Ills tory. The Chinese recogds of their history commence about the year 2400 B. c. About 5000 R. c. (according to Tabular Views of Universal History" compiled by George Palmer Putnam, A. NJ, and edited by George Haven Putnam, Litt., D), flourishtng city states appeared in the Mesopotamia region, indicating an antiquity for Babylonian civilization that may be carried back approximately to the eighth or ninth millennium R. c. In \ Egypt the latest research has brought the sixth millennium B. c. within the
 scope of history, and about 45O0 R. C., in Asia. there was a struggle among the kings of Kengt, Kish. Shir-
 purIa and Gishban in Babylonia."

Why BrIand stammered.

A beautiful example of courtesy was shown recently by Premier Bri- and of France during a ceremony at which he conferred a medal of honor upon an American soldier. the De lineator states. Monsieur Briand does not speak English; the American sol- dier spoke no French. The boy had, however, learned a little French speech. But when he rose before the distinguished audience, the French words deserted him. He began, got through the first sentence, stuttered in the second, hesitated, reached into his mind in vain for the rest of the French words-and then finished his thanks in English. ..s.. -#
 The expression on the face of the French premier never changed When the boy had finished speaking, Mon signor Briand began few English words he had learned. "I have a great affection for your country and ven eration for" He hesitated-and fin- ished in French.
 It was a delicate way to make the soldier feel that the premier of France was as poorly equipped in the soldiers language as the soldier had been in French. And this is manners. Back of that kind act was solely q desire to make a fellow being more comfort able. f.

 the expense to this country to carry on the government of the islands really amounts to nothing. The ac- quisition of the islands has. been a very profitable investment, almost as much so as has been Alaska. The products of the islands are being eaten in this country today, con sisting of such articles as nutbutter, cocoanut, cocoanut oil, etc. Copra, which is the dried meat of the cocoa nut, is exported in large quantities.
 @Deviating for a mement from the Philippines, President Ogilby said that the recent arms conference left the biggest problems unsolved and to those really knowing these facts it was great disappointment. Japan won wonderful victory by it. The problem of the next generation will be on the Pacific, he said.
 President Ogilby said that if he was talking to a Winsted audience he would tell of the men with tails who inhabit the islands, but he

Pet poas of RerIlners.

Pet dogs have become so popular among the feminine population of Der lin that theater managers have been compelled to install rooms where the dogs may be checked. Some patrons complain that none of the theaters has made similar provision for checking babies, and think this is unwarranted discrimination. During the intermis- sions the women repair to the dog room" and feed the animals with bits of sandwiches, which it has become the custom for theater-goers to eat be- tween the acts.-New York Evening Post.

wsitrsss Has Idea on Tips status.

Whether the man in the street, re gards the tip he leaves beside his plate after lunch as a free gift in. recogni- tion of service rendered or as part of the charge for his lunch, there is no doubt about its status in the mind of one Broadway waitress.
 Because he had no loose change in his pocket, one diner walked out of his habitual luncheon haunt the other day without leaving his customary dime Next day, to square accounts, he put down two dimes as he rose from the table. Whersupon blonde Elsie, retrieving the coins with prac- 'ticed hand, remarked: "Oh, yes, that's so i; you do owe me dIme."-New York Sun.

Grant Had No Ear for Music.

, The suffering soul who finds the day of emancipation from jazz still in the offing can sympathize with General Grant. To his nonmusieal ear every- thing in the form of music was mere noise; he lived in jazz world all his own long before jazz was invented. It was a frequent remark of his that he did not know one tune from another, except Yankee Doodle" America" and "The Star-Spangled Banner" While President of the United States he was persuaded to attend grand opera In Philadelphia at the academy. Asked later how he enjoyed 1t he re- piled that he didn't know. He had heard a great deal of noise, and had seen a large number of musicians, most of them violinists, saving away upon their instruments. Here he picked up the White House carving knife and fork and began to initiate the actions of a violinist, saying that the noise they made was deafening, unintelligfble and confusing to him.-Kansas City Star.
