Unique In appearance is an iron
candlestick owned by Los Angeles
girl. This was given her ancestors by
Henri II Of France. 1t was used in the
doughty monarch's hunting lodge, and
fs made of sturdy iron spirals set upon
a round base on three bent legs. The
candle fits down in the spiral, and
there is an ingenious iron knob or
hahdle which, when twisted, raises the
diminishing candle a spiral at

The Christian era was first figured
out In about $50 by monk named
Dionysius Exiguus. At that time the
actual date of Christ's birth was only
a matter of speculation. Later, when
the calendar took more definite form,
the birth of Christ was put on the 25th
Of December, but 1t was found to be
impractical to change the date of the
era which was already fairly well es-
tablished. AS matter of fact, 1t is
now believed that Jesus was born
three or four years before the begin
ming of the era known as the Chris
tiRn. SO we have the anomalous fact
that Christ was born about four years
b. @. But the exact date of Christs
birth Is unknown.

KnerU His Business

The storekeeper in little country
town was a smart business man, In
deed. He knew just when to strike
and just when the iron was hot
enough. That was how he had
built up such prosperous business.
Miss Smith," he said to one of his
assistants, do you know anything
about the new minister who Is coming
to the town next week."
"Yes," replied the girl, "he is tail,
good-looking man, about twenty-eight,
and he isn't married"
as that soY' said the proprietor
briskly. Miss Smith, you may put
all the new hats in the shop into the
front window right away"

Lion of Lucerne

The Lion Of Lucerne is a famous
piece of sculpture by Albert Thorwald-
sen, commemorating the herolsm
and devotion of nearly eight hun
bred Swiss guards, who died to save
Louis XVI, In the attack on the
Tuileries, August 10, 1892. The
colossal figure of the crouching
lion. transfxed and dying, but
still faithfully defending the shield

face Of an upright, vine-draped rock
In little park at Lucerne, Switzer-
land. A commemorative inscription,
with the names Of the officers killed,
Is cut In the rock.

Ruskin's Voice About
His Only Attraction

never met anyone in my life whose
personal appearance disappointed me
more than Ruskin's, writes Frank Har-
ris in American Mercury. Until l saw
him I had always believed that a man
of great ability showed his genius In
some feature or other, but | could ind
no hint In Ruskin's face or figure that
suggested abnormal talent.
His appearance was not even pre-
possessing. He looked shriveled up
and shrunken, though he was perhaps
FIVE feet seven in height; he was
slight to frailty and stopped; In spite
of large nose, his face was too small,
bony, thin and very wrinkled; the
gray hair that must once have been
reddish was carefully brushed fiat;
the beard and whiskers we're gray, too,
and struggling thin; the eyes were
bright, grayish-blue in color, quick
glancing now, now medltative under
the thick outjutting brows; the high
aquilIne nose was matched by some
what receding chin; nothing in bis
face or figure was impressive or ar
resting; his clothes even were loose
and ill-fitting; his manner shy, self
conscious, unassured; l was disap-
pointed to doubling his ability.
But as soon as he got excited in
speaking / noticed his voice, thin
high tenor irresistibly pathetic; 1t Of
ten walled and sometimes cursed, but
was always intense. The soul Of the
man was in that singular, musical
voice with its high rhetoric and I'M
FASHIONED moral appeal.

Preparation of Dogs

Dogs sweat or perspire very little.
The physiological purpose of perspira-
ton seems to be the regulation of the
temperature Of the body. But In the
case of the dog, as well as many
other animals, the body temperature
Is regulated by respiration. After run
ming a dog breathes more rapidly

feet as sweating would have

The next step Is to protect the car
With some form OF locking device
which will delay the thiefss getaway.
Locking devices for cars are of many
kinds. Some Of them operate on the
steering wheel, making it impossible
20 steer when the car is locked.
Another type locks the transmission

The regular ignition lock is a third
type. Still another operates on tho
exhaust, preventing the engines
functioning. Some owners place a
hidden shut-off In the gasoline line.
This means that the thief has got
