FAILED TO LOOK AHEAD.
A Blunder That Has Brought Many 8

In the American Magazine a writer
says:
"A man engaged In business In one
of the trades or professions Is strong
and healthy, and ills earnings are ade
quate to meet the needs of himself and
family and lay a li'.tle l»y to combat the
proverbial rainy thy.
"In trying tr> make a good appear

Can-ion's City of the Dead.
In Canton, about eighty miles from
Hongkong, there Is a place known as
the City of the Dead. There are 10-1
small houses, in each of which a corpse
Is lodged, at the rate of §25 for the
first three mouths and then at a re
duced rate until the geomancers em
ployed by the relatives of the dead
person decide when and where the
corpse shall be burled. Silk or paper
lanterns and imitation fruit are hung
from the roof. There are screens in
each room between the door and the
coffin. Tea, fruit and any other kind
of food which the dead person liked
when on earth are placed on an altar
before the coffin each morning. There
are cardboard servants standing about
to wait on him with pipes or cardboard
cups of tea. There are also two hand
some paper females placed there to
guide his spirit on the way to heaven.

HIS GREATEST GAME,
The Climax of Mathewion'a Fame *• •
Baseball Pitcher.
We always have believed that the
greatest game that Mathewson ever
pitched was the eighth and deciding
contest between Boston and New York
in the world's series of 1012. He
should have shut the Red Sox out In
that battle, but his team faltered and
broke behind him, and Boston finally
won In ten Innings by a score of 3 to 2.
Matty had been the unnnlmous choice
of his comrades. He felt that It might
be the last world's series game he ever
would pitch, and he put into his work
all the cunning and skill that tho yeurs
had given him. In those ten innings
he gave everything he had, and it was
a marvelous exhibition of twirling.
When he entered the box his step
was springy and his head held high.
He looked almost boyish. When he
left the mound after the game it was
with bent head and lagging feet, but
the Boston crowd stood up in the
stands and cheered, not their team,
which had Just won the world's cham
pionship, but the defeated Mathewson.
Hard headed ball players had tears
on their cheeks as they ran to Matty to
throw their arms across his shoulders,
and McGraw hurried across to meet
Mm from the bench, saying: "It wasn't
your fault, Matty. Yon pitched the
greatest game I ever saw."—New York
World.
FREE FROM BEETLES.
Spitzbergen It the Only Land In the
World Without Them.
One of the most amazing things In
j natural history Is the way in which
beetles have triumphed In the struggle
for existence, says the Populur Science
Monthly. Of all creatures they are by
far the most numerous, 110 fewer than
150,000 distinct species having been
Identified—three tlmen the number of
backboned animals.
Beetles are found practically every
where—In the frost bound tracts of
Icoland and In the hot desert sands of
Africa, on the highest mountains, un
der the ground and as fossil In the
deepest strata, on land and In water,
on plants, among stones and lu wood
and earth and even In the very craters
of volcanoes.
But thoro Is one place where no beetle
has yet been found. It Is the inhospi
table land of Spitzbergen, to the north
of Itusela. Ilero are found the mam
mals, birds, fish, mollusks, crustaceans,
a few Insects of varied species and
many spiders, but not a single beetle.
While other Insects have succeeded
in some way In migrating from the
mainland, the beetles have apparently
been unable to cross the wide, ley
waters.
When Parasols Began.
Parasols when they llrst came Into
use must have been cumbersome.
Iienrl Estlenne, writing In 157S, speaks
of a parasol as capable generally of
sheltering four persons from the sun.
And when they diminished In circum
ference the material still remained of
the heaviest P.ed velvet parasols,
with heavy gold fringes, wore carried
by ladies of fashion in the days of
Louis XIV. At that time it was possi
ble when crossing a bridge in Paris to
It at the other, the charge for the
accommodation being a sou. Under
the regency fashion went to the other
extreme. Men's parasols folded Into
the shape of a three cornered hat and
could thus be carried elegantly under
the arm. Ladles' parasols were hinged
so that they could slip Into the pocket,
for ladies had pockets then.—London
Spectator.
Seven Bells.
Everybody who knows anything
about nautical matters understands the
methods of keeping time at sea—eight
bells every four hours. From 0 to S In
the evening Is the second dogwatch,
but on British ships seven bells (half
past 7) of the second dogwatch are
never struck. All other ships, even the
American, strike these bells. During
the Napoleonic wars there was a great
mutiny in the British navy. The crews
of the fleets lying nt Spithead and the
Nore agreed to rise simultaneously
against their officers. The signal
agreed upon was seven bells of the
second dogwatch. The mutiny actually
began at the arranged time, but failed,
the ringleaders being executed. Ever
since then seven bells of the second
dogwatch has never been struck on
British ships, naval or mercantile.
The Misguided Friend.
De Chappie—If there's any one nui
sance I hate more than another it's a
fellow who Is always going around In
troducing people. There's Goodheart,
for Instance. Bouttown—What's he
been doing? De Chappie—The idiot!
The other day he introduced me to a
man I owed money to, and I'd been
owing it so long he'd forgotten all
about me. Now. I'll have to pay up or
be sued.—London Telegraph.
Serene Sarcasm.
"Ton have completely upset my train
of thought," exclaimed .the irascible
man.
"I shouldn't call anything so easily
upset a train," commented his irritat
ing wife. "It's more like a canoe."—
