NOT LONG HELD IN MEMORY
Cleveland Mans Experience Is Very
Much What Would Come to
Most of U.s.

It isn't the Rip Van Wrinkles only
who come back to find themselves for
gotten. That sort of thing occurs with
painful frequency in everyday life.
Nor is it necessary for the victim TO
stay away 20 years. Much less time
will efface him.
Some time ago a man came back
from the West. where he had made his
home for ten years, and set out to re-
new old acquaintance. He had been
a prominent man in the business life
of the city and member Of leading
firm. 1t was to the habitation Of this
firm that he directed his footsteps.
As he passed down the salesroom
one of his old partners came to him
with outstretched hand.
"Why, hullo, how are you? How are
things going, and how long do you
stay? Sorry I'm so busy. See you la
ter" But he never came back
Then the senior partner saw him and
came forward.
We'll, well, this is SURPRISE" he
cried How are things coming. and
how long do you stay in the city? Drop
in whenever you can find time. Sorry
I'm so busy. Good-day."
This visitor went away, feeling hurt
and ignored but after all there's little
sentiment in business, and this Cleve-
land mans experience has been dupli-
Gated countless times, no doubt

New British Parliament.

When new parliament in Great
Britain comes into being quaint ritual
Is performed with unchanging sol
emnity. For instance, ON the second
day of the assembling of a new paria-
ment the speaker-elect receives at the
bar of the house of lords from the five
lord commissioners, as representatives
of the sovereign, in the presence Of the
members Of both houses, the royal ap-
prevail Of his election to the chair VI
the house Of commons.
In accordance with an ancient cere-
meny, that dates from the reign d
Henry VIII, he claims the rights and
privileges Of the representative of the
people and receives an assurance from
the lord chancellor that all such rights
are readily confirmed" by his maj
esty.

LEAVE HOLE IN VEST POCKET
Rent Should Never Be Darned, Says
JeweIer, and Gives Good Rea-
son for His Advice.

Here is joyous news for wives who
must mend their husbands socks and
thousand-and-one other articles Of ap-
parel. Madam meet Mr. Hole-in-the-
Vest Pocket, who has been decreed
blessing in disguise, and who must new
er, never under any circumstances, be
sewn up or mended.
Here's the dope, remarks a New York
Sun writer.
If you knew anything about mems
vest pockets you would know that dust
such as settles on the top of the mantel
where you never dust, accumulates in
the corners or the lining OF the pockets
Such dust does no harm, except in the
one in which the watch is carried, says
a jeweler
you have fine watch" says the
jeweler You put it in pocketful Of
dust, and what happens? After awhile
some of the dust works its way into the
works and the timekeeping ability Of
the watch is ruined. So what can we
do to overcome this? 1t is simple
Punch little hole in the pocket, then
the dust will all sift down into the
interlining of the vest, and your watch
will have a clean pocket to lie in. You
will be surprised how it will help your
watch"
So you see. madam, such holes must
not be darned.

VENTRILOQUISM AN OLD ART
Greeks, and Word Is of Latin
Origin.

Ventriloquism is an art or power ac-
quired through long practice, although
some people seem to have a natural
gift in that direction. 1t was known to
the ancient Greeks, aud the name
comes from the Latin "ven,er,' 10
qui" 1t is a method Of speaking so
that the voice seems to come from
distance, or from some other source
than the person who is really speak

The vocal organs tongue. palate,
iarynx, etc. are employed, but the ven
triloquist, through practice, is able TO
speak with lips scarcely moving To
do this he leaves his lips slightly open
and substitutes some letters for others

such as m, p, b, etc but instead, say

he would say man instead of 'man,"
and "day' for bay 'tay" for pay"
According TO one autho.i,y besides
tricks Of speaking and various devices
TO distract the attention of an audi
ence, the whole art of Il yentrloquist
is simply to draw a long breath and let

MANY VARIETIES OF HATBAND
History Shows That Particular orna.
mentation Has Been Worn Since
Long Before Christian Era.

From the descriptions discovered on
the walls of ancient temples it Is ap-
parent that, rs far back as $500 B. c.
Egyptian women used a band with
streamers to fasten their hair. TYING
this in bow at the back or side. This
style was retained by many people
through many centuries, and in the
Fourteenth century il vas used as a
''filet'-merely straight band with
out streamers, which held the hair
away from the forehead and the eyes.
1t was this filet which gave rise to
the streamered AeaddreSses which
were much IN vogue during the reign
of James |, when, one reads. "Endy-
mion Porter wore his wife's diamond
necklace on his hat during a teur in
Spain, but it appeared like paste be-.
side TIE gorgeousness of the duke of
Buckingham, who more the Mirror Of
France (the finest diamond in Eng
land) with a little black feather on
the side of his hat"
This passion for expensive headgear
passed with the waning of the styles
Of bright colors in mems clothing-but
the hatband was retained because of
its decorative quality, and because
men have become accustomed, through
thousands of years, to seeing it worn
in one form or another.

The apples have adopted as their

Reverence for Name Of Mary.

for the name of Mary by having two
different words for it; one of which
they used in referring to the Blessed
Virgin, the other when any other wom-

Muol-Mhuire, the servant of Mary, or
MacGuolla-Mhuire, the son Of the

antique races, the ancient Irish had
nothing to correspond to the modern
surname. II was not till the Eleventh
century that surnames began to be

Counterfeit Currency

The distinguishing characteristic be-
tween real and counterfeit paper
money Is In the quality of the paper
used Every bank in the country has
its own special paper. and each bank
has its secret Distinguishing mark on
every bill issued. 1t is very difficult
for the counterfeiters to obtain exact
" the same kind of paper-of the
same texture and thinness-and more
difficult stfll to incorporate in 1t the
secret mark, and, although they may
issue notes of a similarity that Will
deceive the public, these notes very
seldom pass the scrutiny of the ex-
perienced bank official. There are
other characteristics in the counter
felt note, such as bad printing and col
oring and awkwardness in the inser-
tion of new figures when the notes are
raised, but these are more easily de-
'tected, as are also Clumsiness in the
execution of the forged signatures.

New Mexico Wonder.

Mexico is the Alamogordo, or lula

uring from 100 to 125 miles from
north to south and from 80 to so miles
from east to west, and it represents.
In the opinion of many authorities the
upper surface Of gigantic block of
the earths crust that sank after the
deposition of the cretaceous strata. II
is surrounded by an elevated border.
and on the east, especially, the cliffs
rise sheer to height of 1000 feet
The curious Organ mountains are on
its uthern border Within the plain,
where floods of lava once swelled up,
are vast deposits of gypsum, which
forms as white as snow, which the
wind drives into vast drifts. The vege-
tation is peculiar and highly interest
