Banditry

The highwayman of olden times
and pulled the strange romantic
tell; a bogus glamour authors lend
to robbers Of the moonlt lea; these
robbers. in the bitter end, all died
upon the gal!ows tree. Not all the
authors in the land, not all the bards
along the shore, can bring you COM
fort when you stand at last upon
the scaffold's floor; and when you
languish in cell, to tarry there till
you expire, in vain the gifted
harpers tell OF your exploits, in
words of FIRE. We still have heroes
of that sort, and Of their deeds we
daily learn; they follow up the an
cient sport of stealing what they
will not earn. They ramble forth in
speedy cars, with deadly weapons
loaded down, and hold up banks and
soft drink bars, and shoot the
street lights OF the town. The land
is full of their exploits, a glamour
DER the thieves is thrown; and lit
tie schoolboyS, playing quoits, re-
solve to rob when they are grown.
But, little schoolboys, ere you reach
the age when sideboards may be
worn, the warden at the pen will
teach these phony heroes how to
mourn. For now, as i'll the olden
time. the robber hero's course is
brief; the foremost recompense for
crime is vain Iemorse and endless

japanese Blame Squatting.

A member of the Japanese govern
mcnt's health bureau has announced
that one of the real reasons for the
small stature of the Japanese is their
habit of sitting for long periods of
time at a stretch on the floor with
their legs cramped under them. He
cites figures to show that since the
Japanese changed their habits of
squatting at home so much nearly
twenty years ago, the average height
of the Japanese has increased con-

VULCAN THE GOD OF FIRE
Forger Of Thunderbolts for Jupiter
When Hurled by Mother
From Olympus.

Vulcan is in classic mythology the
god Of fire, the patron Of blacksmiths
and workers in metals, and the armor-
er OF the gods. He was the son Of
Jupiter and Juno, or, according TO
some accounts, of Juno alone. Owing
to his weakness and lameness, he In
CURED the dlspleasure Of his mother
and was cast by her from Olympus.
After dwelling for nine years with
Thetis and Eurynome in grotto be
meath Oceanus, Vulcan returned to
Olympus, but was cast out second
time for presuming TO side with his
mother in a quarrel between her and
Jupiter. He fell on the island of
Lemnos and there set up his forges
but afterward removed them 10 the
volcanic islands of Llpari, near Sicily,
where he forged the thunderbolts Of
Jupiter and other marvellous imple-
ments.
Vulcan was sometimes called Mulch
Der and Lemnius.-Detroit News.

Curious Things About starfish.

Legs on a starfish? At first you will
more than likely say not, but II you
want to make certain put one in q
pool Of water and watch what hap
pens. Soon you will notice it scram-
bling over stones and gliding up any
rock that may happen to be in its way.
This Is the moment to snatch it up and
have look at the hundreds of little
legs 1t keeps curled up inside, ready
to poke out Of holes in the skin when
required.
A starfish also has eyes in the tips
Of Its rays, and one particular kind
possesses eyelids which open and shut.
Another curious fact about the star
hsh is that If one Of its rays Is cut
on another one will grow, and IL the
creature is cut completely in half,
each half will throw out new rays, 50
that in few weeks two starfishes
appear Instead of one.
Some starfish have habit of break.
ing into pieces of their own accord
when alarmed. Even shadow will
cause them to give shudder and
break into bits. Most starfish have
curious habit Of protecting their
eggs. They heap them together in q
small pile and then bend their rays
downward so that they stand on their
hps and form kind Of cage or table.

How to Test Fresh Eoo..

The best test of all for the egg Is its
appearance after 1t Is broken-if the
white and yolk run together it is evil
dcnce that the egg is not strictly fresh,
though no. odor Is perceptible. But
shat Is too late to save money, IL not

way to tell a newly laid egg is by the
glow" or bloom" on the shell.
This glow disappears after handling
and on being exposed to the air for
some time. Fresh eggs are full and

MISTAKES MADE BY POETS
Dj9pdsrs In literature Are Not All
Confined 70 the Living
lsllI Authors

The blunders In literature are no
an confined to living authors.
lfilton's lines, "Thlck as autumna
leaves that strew the brooks In Val
Iombrosa,' are familiar to everyone
but, as a matter of fact, the Vallom'
brosa forests are all Of pine trees, so
that there are no leaves. and pine nee
dies do not fall In the autumn, but to-
wnrds spring.
In "Comus" he writes:
And In the violet embroidered vale
Where the lovelorn nightingale
Nightly 70 thee her sad song mourneth
Unfortunately for the poet. the male
nightingale alone sings and the female
Is yeiceless.
Another classic writer who allowed
his meter to get the better Of his sense
was Pope, who wrote:
When nrs. young Marc. in his noble
A.work I outiast immortal Rome de-
signed
He had overlooked the fact that, II
Rome was immortal. nothing could
cutlast II.
But neither Of these Is any worse
than the story Of Pharaoh's. daughter
finding the infant Moses among the
bulrushes on the banks Of the Nile. As
a matter Of fact. bulrushes do not
thrive in that part Of the world. and
there are none on the banks Of the
Nile.
In his youthfulness may be found
some excuse for Keats writing:
Like stout cortez. when. with eager
eyes, IN
he gazed at the Pacific.
Balboa discovered the Pacific. and !
,ot Cortez.
