Chinanan Sails Junk
in His DUN Fashion

The Oldest seagolng vessels Of the
world are the Junks of the Yellow sea
of China. These junks are "hlghly
decorated vessels, with tall poops
and rounded sides, reminiscent OF the
days of Drake and Columbus"
"Junks Of this type are In existence
still which were built In the time Of
KEN Lung, say some 100 years ago"
says the London Yachting Monthly.
"A junk Will not heave to, and John
Chlnaman Is fully aware Of this. lie
doesn't even try; his plan Is far sim
pier. He lets his halyards go with
run, and the sail Is Off his vessel In
II moment. The high poop acts as Il
riding mizzen and brings him head to
wind; the low bow prevents him from
falling off the wind.
IF the blow ia likely to last any
time, he lays out sea anchor. His
next procedure Is to burn a Joss stick
and probably few pieces OF paper
TO his household god. After that, US
there Is nothing more to do except
eat or sleep-he does So"

Wilde Well Atuare of

Among other amusing stories In his
Memoirs and Adventures" Sir Arthur
Conan Doyle relates this characters
tic story told him by Oscar Wilde;
ave were discussing the cynical
maxim that the good fortune OF our
friends made us discontinued The
devil said Wilde, was once crossing
the Llbyan desert, and he came upon
a spot where a number Of small flends
were tormenting holy hermit. The
salnted man easily shook off their evil
suggestions. The devil watched their
failure and then he stepped forward
TO give them lesson. "What you do
is too crude" said he. Permit me
for one moment" With that he whls-
pered to the holy man, "Your brother
hast Just been made bishop Of Alex
andrla." A scowl of malignant ieal-
ousy at once clouded the serene face
Of the hermit THAT" said the devil
to his imps, SIS the sort of thing which
I should recommend"

The horseshoe Is one of the v,'l
Oldest talismans for wooing good g..

and nailed to the threshold of the .t
and wicker wlgwams of the nou"
Of Turkestan.
In medieval England, especially Ia
the southwest, horseshoes were often
nailed on church doors to keep out
evil spirits and witches. There used
to be two huge ones on the south door
Of the parish church of Ashby-Fovllle,
In LeicestershIre, says the Family
Herald.
There are records of q number of
horseshoes having been nailed up for
centuries on the gates Of Oakham
castle, in Rutland which was built
by Wakelin de Ferrars, son Of the first
earl, Every nobleman visiting II was
made to forfeit shoe OF the horse
on which he rode or pay forfeit Of
money, Quite number endured the
Inconvenience of parting with shoe
rather than pay the small sum.
Probably the oldest continuous dis
play of a horseshoe for luck to be
found In Britain is the case OF shoe
nailed up at Horseshoe corner, in the
city of Lancaster. The first one was
cast by the horse Of John Of Gaunt,
when he was riding through the streets
nearly six hundred years ago.
The more nails in found" horse
shoe the greater the luck.

Those TO whom a commonplace ap-
pears to be extraordinary are rare, but
they are precious, since they, and they
alone have built up our minds. They
are the creators Of human intelligence,
the wide-eyed individuals who point
out to tlfe mass Of mankind what has
been accepted as matter OF routine.
They are the poets, religious leaders,
story tellers, philosophers, the0lOginns,
artists, scientists. inventors. Com
monty unnotlced things excite
strange and compelling curiosity In
them, and each new question sets
them ON a fresh quest. They see where
others are blind hear where others are
deaf. They form the noble band Of

mad, but this was not the worst of IL;
even young women lost their senses in
the new craze, and preachers felt
called upon to lnveigh against the
new influence which was taking the
young women with the young men out
of the pews and over the hills and
far away, no one knew where and with
whom.
Cyclists divided into factions In sup
port of their favorlte machines. Manu-

were founded to flourish on their adj

Must Not Be Separated

Taraday, the great chemist, learned
a lesson in boyhood by very childish
experience. As little lad humbly
earning his bread selling newspapers
In the Streets he was waiting outside
the office Of an Edinburgh paper for
the morning issue, and thrust his head
and arms through the ratings of the
iron gate. He was born metaphy-
sician and began to speculate on which
side Of the raillngs he was. my head
and hands are on one side" he said to
himself, land my heart and body are
on the other" The gate was opened
hastily before he could dlsengage him
self, and the wrench he received taught
him, as he said In after life that all
true work required head and heart and
hands TO be on the same side.
