Laughter Puts Joke
on the Fdulf-Finder

AS long as life lasts, we shall find
that troublesome. unpleasant person
who seems Incapable Of saying sin
gle word without finding fault.
And there's nothing to choose on
this point between men and women.
Some of the former can be really bad
at the game. For, after all, 1t is a
silly game, which may become men
ace to our peace Of mind.
1t seems to be an inseparable part
Of the mind of some folk-this fault
finding. Often 1t is based on mere
nothings.
There's one thing these pernlckety
people don't like. They hate you very
badly If you laugh at them. 1t upsets
their rhythm. And most of the fault
finders work to a rhythm. Put them
Off 1t and they are undone. !
OF course, says London Chronicle,
there are more ways than one Of
laughing at them. You don't need
to laugh outright. A twinkle of the
eye, steady, amused look, sly dig
-metaphorically, of course, although
a nice Eighteenth century one
wouldn't be amiss sometimes-a bit of
leg-pulllng; any of these methods are
warranted to disturb the lines of at
tack of these fault-fnders.
No, indeed; they can't stand being
laughed at.

Seems Odd Method of
Relaxing From Strain

husband of mother of six in taking

thOn enthusiast running to and from

florist picking daisies In an empty lot.
or bank teller matching pennies, or
a big game hunter shooting flies with

Tragedy and Comedy
in Alchen1ists' Dreams

Tragedy in England, comedy In Ger
many ended the researches of alchem-
lists for the means of turning baser
metals into gold and silver. In Eng
land James Price claimed to have
found way of causing the conversion.
He even demonstrated his experiment
before large group of celebrities, in
GLIDING King George III. When re-
quested by the Royal academy, how
ever, to exhibit his method to them, he
showed a disinclination to do so.
Finally, however, he was persuaded.
When only three members of the
academy arrived on the day appointed,
Price swallowed quantity of the
strongest poison known at that time,
and died.
A contemporary theologlan, named
Senior, In Germany, placed a so-called
panacea, the Salt Of Life, in a jar with
a stone. He later found flakes of gold
on the stone. He entered into a series
of debates with famous chemists of the
day, but failed to convince them that
he had analysed the substance and
found 1t to be gold. They analysed
some and found it to be metal called
"Dutch Metal" Upon investigation 1t
was found that servant of Semler's
placed the gold each day on the stone
to please his master. In the servants
absence the wife purchased the cheap
er Dutch metal and spent the remain
der for brandy. Senior admitted his
mistake and the matter was standing
Joke for many years.-Detroit News.

Realm of Thought

The term "transcsndentalism" is
vague one which was applied to the
philosophy Of the group Of American
writer's which centered about Con
cord, Mass, between 1850 and 1880
Ralph Waldo Emerson was the best
known of them, while Thoreau, Chan
ming, Alcott and Margaret Fuller were
other well-known members of the
circle. The transcendental philosophy
might be briefly described as the be-
lief that man reaches his fullest de-
velopment by fixing his mind upon the
highest and noblest elements in life
and overlooking the mean and sOrdid
phases. "As a man thinks, so is he"
The modern cult of the New Thought
derives much of Its doctrine from
transcendentallsm

Could Not Dispense
With Hat or Gloues

Roosevelt's fondness for long walks
In Rock Greek park during his Presi-
dency is well known. Nothing pleased
him so much as to drop companions
along the road unable to keep up with
him. If he thought anyone was too
well dressed for an outing he would
swim across deep pool and every
body was compelled to follow. He
was a great sport.
Walking one day with a party
among whom was NJ. Jusserand, French
ambassador, President Roosevelt pro-
posed that they all go bathing In Rock
creek, without bathing suits, not far
of the public highway (says General
Scott). Jusserand waded In without
any clothes except a pair Of white kid
gloves and q high silk hat. Roose-
welt looked at him with establishment
for some time, but finally curiosity be-
came too great and he had to ask the
reason for the ambassadors costume

piled, suppose some ladies should go

Big Fire Loss Laid
to Careless Smokers

Every year $10oy00O.OOO worth Of
property goes up In flames In the
United States because matches burn
too long. That is the conclusion
drawn from recent experiments by the
United States bureau of standards.
The average time required to light a
pipe or cigarette was found to be ten
seconds. The stick Of a match burns
an additional twenty seconds.
A million matches, says Popular
Science Monthly, are used In the
United States every minute. Many Of
these start fires after they have been
thrown away. The experimenters
found that special matches, with wa
ter-glass coating the sticks up to half
an inch Of the head, burned only half
as long as ordinary ones. While prov.
Ing as effective for lighting purposes.
they were generally consumed before
they could set fire to surrounding grass
or rubbish.

KneD One Word

Company from out of the city was
being entertained In an East side
home. George, the visitors son, age
three, and Raymond, the hosts nephew,
age three, developed quite a friend
ship. When at last the guests were
obliged to leave, the host asked the
name Of the street in which they lived.
They replied as to the street and also
proceeded to spell 1t. George, deslr.
ing to initiate his elders asked: "What
is your last name and how is 1t spelled,
Raymond"
Ray was acquainted with the SPELL
Ing of just one word, so consequently
he was slightly baffled by Georges
question. Soon, however he smiled
and replied, "Why, my name Is Ray.

Needletvomen in China
Ply Trade in Street

China is perhaps the only country in
the world where one may have his gar
ments mended on the street while he
waits. In nearly all the chief cities of
the country native sewing women are
to be seen seated on low stools, per-
haps on the sidewalk, mending articles
Of masculine wearing apparel.
The accomplishments of these street
seamstresses are somewhat limited,
their efforts with the needle being con-
fined, as a rule, to running" Other
branches of needework are virtually
unknown to them. AS consequence
their efforts are better appreciated BY
natives than by foreign travellers.
They are never short Of patrons
among the Chinese tradesmen, for
these are often natives Of other dis
trlcts, and having come to the city to
engage In business have no one to
mend a rent for them. Their wives
being left at home, they are glad to
employ the street needlewomen. For
this class of customers the skill Of the
itinerant sewing woman answers every
purpose.

Mosterpiece Ruined

There is legend to the effect that
Ludo Vico II Moro, the husband Of
Beatrice D'Estro, commissioned Leo
nardo da Vinci to execute "The Last
Supper" on the walls of the refectory
Of the convent Of the Santa Mario
della Grazie, in Milan. The commits
sion was given to the great artist al
most In the sense Of an explation Of
sin. 1t was occasloned by Ludo Vico's
grief over the death Of his young
wife, whom he had treated unkindly.
The painting is now practically
wrecked, largely due to the fact that
the artist was experimenting In the
media which he used. In NapOleon's
day a door was cut in the wall be
meath the painting and large por
ton Of the center Of the mural was

Beauty in Motion

A symphony is beautiful or satisfy
ing in its action, like changing winds

vehicle of moving meaning, but has
no unchanging stable quality, no static
beauty; because 1t has no static ex-
istence. Action Is Its being. Likewise
an epic poem moves and lives in ac-
ton. The Odyssey has no moveless
beauty, but the beauty of heroic and
romantic action. Its words are winged.
Even more palpably a drama is Gen.
tered, focused action, an unpausing
utterance. A lyric is quick flow Of
feeling and perception.-Henry o.

Artificial Silk Not
Yet Near Perfection

Although most artificial silk fabric
Is made Of wood pulp, 1t can also be
made from cabbages, bananas, or any
other vegetable matter from which eel
lulose is obtained.
People can usually tell the difference
between pure and artificial silk by
squeezing 1t up in their hands. Real
silk, unless weighted with chemicals
feels warm to the touch and will not
crease. Artificial silk feels cold and
slippery, besides being too lustrous.
Its creasing propensity is one of the
greatest problems for manufacturers,
and many experiments are being tried
to cope with the difficulty, and save
women the trouble Of having to iron
an artificial silk frock each time 1t has
been worn.
