Lost Nothing Of Value.

A woman who lives In a Western
state once attended q lumbermen's
convention with her husband. With
her she carried an old-fashioned hand
bag, that, although 1t was worth little
money. was dear TO. her as a gift.
Reaching the station a little early,
she and her husband went across the
street and sat on bench In q park
until the train was almost due. On
the train some time later when they
had gone past several stations she
discovered that she did not have the
hand bag; fortunately it held nothing
of value. Her husband was frankly
glad she had lost it. for he had re-
peatedly urged her to- buy a new one.
Less than week afterward the bag
came back to her in the mail, and at
first she wondered how anyone hau
known where to send it. But on open
ing 1t she found an overdue telephone
bill with the warning that service
would be cut off from the house If
1t were not paid by certain datel 1t
was disputed account and therefore
had been unpaid, but Of course the
finder could not have known that !;
from the shabbiness Of the bag and
the overdue bill he evidently had sup
posed the owner needed the bag and
from the kindness Of his heart had
returned it.-Youth's Companion.

SMOKING In the Ear East.

Chinese gentlemen spend much of
their time In smoking. The well-to-do
Chinese has a body servent always at
his side to fill his pipe, to light II for
him and to put II In his mouth. SmOk-
ing one of the strange little Chinese
pipes is quite bother. They are so
small that they only hold enough to-
bacco for few puffs. Then the ashes
have to be knocked out of the pipe
and it is Immediately refilled.
Nothing Is Of more importance to
the Mongollan woman than her pipe
She may be seen interrupting any
household task or pulling up a gal
looping pony to take a pun at her pipe
These devotees of the pipe are looked
upon as very inferior to the men of
their tribe. and. are shown little con-
sideration by the husbands for whom
they slave. AS the men do not like
manual labor, the women are COM
PEELED to do practically all of the
heavy work Of the fields as well as
the home.

CLOCK GAVE DEATH WARNING
Peculiar Circumstances Reported From
New York, and Another From
Liverpool, EngIand.s

The family clock seems to become
such an intimate part Of the house
hold that superstitious stories regard
ing its mOvements-especia In times
of death or peril to the owner, find
ready credence. Among the strange
tales is one Of clock that gave warn
ing Of the death Of its owner. In a
certain merchants house in New York
there stood a clock that had been go
ing steadily for many years. One day
1t stopped at twelve o'clock. At
twelve o'clock precisely the merchant
died in the hospital and at the same
moment his mother also died Of grief.
There was apparently nothing wrong
with the clock and no reason for its
stopping. Another somewhat similar
case occurred in Liverpool. A man
who was builder by trade. kept a
small clock on his mantelpiece. AT
quarter past eleven one morning the
clock suddenly fell to the floor. When
picked up 1t was still going and had
apparently received no injury. When
the builder came home little later
he told his family that at quarter
past eleven that morning he had fallen
from the top Of building, but had
escaped without hurt.

WHEAT BREAD LONG IN USE


Henry Buckle, the great English
historian. was one Of the first to point
out the Importance Of food as a vital
factor in the progress Of a nation.
Bread has done more than all other
foods combined in changing man
from a savage to a civilized being
The peoples Of the earth may be
roughly divided Into two major
classes in respect to the food they
eat-the rice eaters and the bread
eaters. Such nations as japan, for
merly rice eaters, are becoming more
and more like the western nations
In the consumption Of bread.
OF course II Is not known when
bread was first used. but according
to one tradition Ching Noung taught
the Chinese how to make bread from
wheat more than 1000 years B. c.
Even in the time of the patriarchs
both leaven and unleaven bread were
staple foods among the Hebrews. Fer
mented bread was known at an early
date among the Egyptians. The
secret became known to the Greeks.
who communicated II to the Romans.
With the conquering legions Of Rome
the invention spread throughout
northern Europe.

AIIIaator HUNTING.

Alligators are by no means SO plen-
tiful as they once were in Florida.
Those that are left are to be found
In the wild places, anywhere in the
state. There is market for gator
hides, but not good one. There is
a firm or two in Jacksonville that
buys them. Nearly any kind of boat
will do for hunting them and nearly
any kind of gun, though a high-power
rifle is best, and especially an explo-
sive bullet is best. The best way to
hunt them is to go at night with a
strong light, "shine their eyes," shoot
them. mark the spot with weight
and a float with cord between, and
go back next day to grapple for them.
There's q lot of poppycock about the
notion that gators are SO hard to kin.
A 20 bullet will kill one If you hit
him In vital spot-backbone, brain
or heart.-Adventure Magazine.

Diamond Figures In History.

Thomas Pitt, the grandfather Of the
great English statesman who finally
drove Napoleon the Great from power,
made the fortune of his house, how
ever, by the sale of the Regent dia-
mond to the regent Of France early in
the Eighteenth century, the prince Of
Orleans paying more than half mil
lion dollars for it. The stone also
made the fortune of Napoleon, as the
directory pledged it to the Dutch gov
eminent in 1900 for 100000 francs,
thereby raising the money with which
Napoleon conducted the great cam
paign which won him the battle Of
Marengo.

Origin Of Navajo Blankets.

The origin of the famous Navajo
blanket is picturesque. At the time of
the Spanish conquest, the Navajo tribe
of Indians was too insignificant to be
mentioned. It grew, however, rather
rapidly, and in raids upon the Pueblos
took many Of the latter prisoners.
From these (the Pueblos had long
been weavers of native cotton) they
picked up the textile art; and then
stealing sheep from the Spaniards,
they inaugurated the weaving of the
wooden blanket.
Only the women Of the tribe were
viewers. and in the early days did 1t
largely as an artistic recreation. just
as the women of civilization do en-
broidery or tatting.

WHAT KIND OF PEOPLE DO
YOU ADMIRE?

Many kinds, perhaps. Some peo-
pie we admire because of their
looks; some for their pleasing man
ners. We admire also skill of hand
or brain, and perhaps we admire
some people because of their great
learning. But what kind of people
do you trust. A much smaller
group, this is. There are some peo-
pie who, you are, sure, will always
do what they believe right, without
regard to their own advantage.
Abraham Lincoln was that kind of
a man. Nearly always the people
who inspire trust in all who know
them are those whose main concern
is religion. They have had an ex-
perience which has conferred their
dependence on God, and they have
accepted His control of their lives.
One important result of the surrend-
er of our wills and continuous eff
fort to obey the Divine will as re-
vealed in the hearts of men, is the
attainment of a happiness which is
beyond the reach of outward circum-
stance. We may all be established
on this firm foundation if we will
comply with the conditions. Take
my yoke upon you and learn of meS
and We shall find rest unto your
souls. For my yoke is easy, and my
burden is light" Matthew 1929,
300 Christ's yoke is not a badge
of Servitude, it is tool to work
with. a source of energy.
