Joke Was on Conjuror.
A very well-known and popular *>n
Juror, who shall be nameless, hi.s
many amusing stories to tell of inci
, dents which have befallen him during
his career. He says: '1 do not think
I was ever so nonplussed in my life as
I was when performing my card and
rabbit trlek, some time ago. I ask a
I member of the audience to tear u card
[ Into small pieces and gl\e them all to
me except one. I.ater In the trick I
produce a rabbit from a box. and tied
round Its neck is a card with a piece
missing. It Is then found that the
piece which the member of the audi
ence holds exactly tits and completes
the second card. On this particular
occasion I allowed the rabbit to re
main In the box too long, and when
I produced him found that he had
chewed the card on his neck to bits.
Needless to say, the laughter, when
the audience grasped the trick the rab
bit had played on uie. was loud and
long."
Sound of Falling Drops.
Some curious observations hnve
been made on the sounds of
splashes of drops. Xot only Is the fall
of the drop below a certain small
height unheard, but there are other In
tervals or zones of height from which
the drop may fall without sound. The
boundary between two zones Is so
sharp, moreover, that a difference of
a fraction of a millimeter In height
may change a silent fall to one giving
a sharp click. A drop of water strikes
water silently when the fall is from
less than about two Inches, between
two and one-half and three inches,
and more than four nnd one-half
Inches; but the width of the zones in
creases with the size of the drops.
When the sound produced Is softer
than the characteristic sharp click, the
drop has usually left a bubble.
"Welsh Rabbit."
"Welsh rabbit" was the name given
to bread covered with melted cheese
and a little sour beer because of the
popularity of the dish in Wales and
for exactly the same reason tluit cod
fish are often referred to In New Eng
land as "Cape Cod turkeys;" In other
words an attempt to be humorous. The
amateur etymologist, peering at the
cheese and toast, cotild not see any
possible relation to a rabbit In it, and
therefore decided that It must have
originally been "rare bit." He man
aged to so strongly convince himself
and others that today hotels and cafes
use the wrong spelling In their bills of
fare. Cook books followed suit and
the sophisticate!] are prone to laugh
at those who follow their ears and
spell It "rabbit."
What the Hair Reveals.
| The Turks claim women with short
Intellect have long hair. The Alba
nians say with more finality. "Long
hair, little brains." Other contributors
say much hair Indicates ungovernable
temper an<l inclination to melancholy.
Even have they gone so far as to say
a great abundance of hair meant one
j were half a fool, us Stevens quotes
1 from Flora. "A tlstv-tosty wag-feather,
j more hair than wit." "If a girl has a
I" great deal of hair." quoth another
source, 'she will marry poverty, while
the girl with little hair will marry
J rich." Next in bad grace with the
folklore authorities Is the enviable
curly hair. "It's a sign of a scold,"
j says one. "If the hair falls In little
i curls at the back of the neck it means
j an early widowhood."
Earthquake Beits.
1 There are two earthquake belts,
which encircle the world. One of them
' nms through the Mediterranean re
! glon and Aslu Minor to the Himalayas
i and beyond, crossing the Pacific to
Central America and the Caribbean,
i The other encircles the Pacific ocean,
• running northward along the Andes In
I South America, following the west
| coast of North America, continuing on
Iby way of the Aleutian chain to Kam
chatka. and passing through the Japa
nese Islands to the Philippines and
I New Zealand. The two belts cross
j each other In the Andes and in the
j western Pacific. Within them occur
I 94 per cent of all the earthquakes re
• corded on the terrestrial globe.

J I ti><>k my mother and small sister
j to a motion picture theater. As it was
! impossible to find seats together. I left
j them, and found a seat near the cen

of the performance I heard some one
calling me. It was sister. She had
I succeeded in escaping from mother,
j and wat looking for me. Not being
| successful, she walked up near the or
• chestra and began to call me and did
not stop until I got up and went to
her. Every one was smiling broadly
as I escorted her ,ip the aisle. We
didn't see the rest of the picture.—

Handle Gasoline With Care.
Those who handle gasoline as a mat
ter of ordinary custom'are often quite
oblivious to its potential dangers. An
English Journal tells of a motorcy
clist who removed the cover of his
electric horn and flushed it out with
petrol. Having replaced the cover, he
started for a ride. At the first at
tempt to use the horn the result was
startling, for there was a terrific ex
plosion and the cover crashed into the
rider's ribs. The horn was. of course,
full of explosive mixture, which was
Ignited by an electric spark.

Mental Travel for Edueanda.
We must never forget that educa
tion is a form of mental travel. Its
aim might be described as that of
sending the youth en voyage. Intelli
gently, Hence the Inadequacy of re
garding the local as the staying place,
rather than the starting point, of edu
cation. We know the breadth of view
ordinarily characteristic of the "trav
eled" man. We should seek in our
schools and colleges to afford the edu
cunds (who are as yet, and possibly
likely long to remain, untraveled) oi>
portunitles of trained soundness of
judgment and width of perspective, in
Its measure of possibilities, like the
traveler's. The fewer tiie opportuni
ties of the pupils for personal physical
observations of things at a distance
(whether in time or space), the more
earnestly should the school endeavor,
by sound methods, to till up gaps of
knowledge, and to round out the lim
ited scope of the pupils' knowledge.—

Algerian Bazars.
The most Arab-like plcturesqueuess
In Algeria Is found by plunging into
the little cross streets that zigzag up
the hillsides. la dim holes In the
wall are the Arab shops, In cramped,
confined bazars, selling ii medley be
hind which the Arab dealer squats
and dreams with bis eyes full of shad
ows. To the Arab the bazar Is not so
much of n shop for commercial gain
as a stall In which he can piny the
role of a spectator in life, where he
can sit and watch the population pass
up and down: where he can watch the
waiting lines of ewer-carriers at the
fountains; where he can hear the news
of the quarter, and where his friends
can always come and talk with him
over his counter. It Is a social Insti
tution.
Japanese Ivory Carvings.
In Japan no carvings are made In
factories. Tin- artist works in his own
studio. At the bottom of the piece
when it is finished the maker carves
ills name, initials or sign. In due time
this distinguishing mark comes to have
a commercial value with art dealers,
Just as the name of a great writer has
with editors and publishers. In Tokyo
there is an art school in which an av
erage of about 500 pupils a year study
art under different masters. In ivory
caiving there are native teachers, but
in this the Japanese are but following
out the rule which governs their con
duct in all matters of education and
progress. That is. the person who Is
best fitted for the professorship Is
given the cluiir.
Rare Tapestries.
Although kings were responsible for
the creation of tapestries, it was in
the monasteries they were preserved,
for here were often received as gifts
many valuable examples. As the
monks were interested In early arts
and crafts, it followed that many of
the subjects chosen for the tapestries
were of a religious character. The
statement that many of these tapes
tries are worth their weight in gold
is no fable. One fifteenth century ex
ample has a value of $40,Otto, but It
weighs only six and one-half pounds.
Two of the rarest pieces In America
are of English origin and came from
the Mortlake works from looms estab
lished by James I in 1019.
Deadly French Mistral.
The mistral is a famous wind which
blows cold and strong in southeastern
France. In the districts where it pre
vails the trees all lean toward the
southeast, aud the gardens must be
protected on the northwest side, from
which the wind comes, by lofty walls.
One winter iu Marseilles a carriage in
which a woman was driving was blown
bodily into a canal by the mistral and
both the ludy and the horse were
drowned. In consequence of this ac
cident and of other manifestations of
the power of this destructive wind or
ders were issued that no vehicle should
he allowed to drive alongside the
canals or the waterfront of the har
bor while n mistral was blowing.
Island Kingdom for Rent
If nny person should wish for an
Island kingdom dotted over with the
rnins of Scandinavian forts he might
obtain a lease of the Tiree. This Is
the island of the Hebrides group
which Doctor Johnson in his famous
visit 111 1773 described so prosperous
as to attract tunny beggars, who were
finally kept away by a formal com
pact signed by the Islanders in which
they obliged themselves to "grant no
more relief to casual wanderers be
I cause they had among them an in
digent woman of high birth whom they
considered as entitled to all they
could spare."
_ Birds Affected by Fog.
Curarosly, although human beings
are utterly bewildered by a fog, most
animals find their way through it with
very little difficulty. A horse will trot
along In Its right direction as though
the air were perfectly clear, and not
only that, but will take the right turn
ing nt the right moment if It Is at all
accustomed to the road. Birds, on the
other hand, are utterly bewildered by
fogs. Pigeons, tor instance, will re
main motionless all day long, half
asleep, huddled up in their pigeon
houses. Chickens and poultry of all
kinds won't stir all the time a heavy
fog Is about
Familiar Incident
"I understand the platform on which
a candidate was speaking broke down
under him." "Nothing unusual," com
mented Senator Sorghum. "I have
very seldom known a candidate who
did not fall off his platform, at one
time or another,"
^ MAKING NEW WORDS.
One of the well-known English
words, cabal, meaning a strong com
bination to curry out a predetermined
purpose, was made from the initials
of the live Erltlsh ministers, Clifford,
Arlington, Buckingham, Ashley and
Lauderdale of the cabinet under
Charles II, who signed a treaty with
France against Holland In 1672. The
word news Is fancifully devised from
the letters standing for north, east
west and south on a weathervane, but
Its more probable derivation Is from
new. A few years ago a western or
ganization of women took the name
"TVlmoduughsIs," from the first sylla
bles of wives, mothers, daughters and
sisters. More recently the organiza
tion of Camp Fire Girls adopted Its
motto, "Wohelo," the flrst two let
ters of work, health and love. The
most recent example of the creation of
a word from Initials Is Anzac on the
Galllpoll peninsula, made from tlie
Australian and New Zealand army
corps. In conjunction with such a
real name as Slnla It looks Turkish
enough to pass muster, but It is only
an anny emergency word devised from
a far-off military contingent and not
yet on any save the latest newspaper
maps.
From the city dweller's point of
view the fall of the year means morn;
Ings when it Is a delight to leave the
house and a sorrow that the street
car tracks are not further away; It
means Saturday afternoons and Sun
days when a tramp aloDg a lane or
over a field path brings recreation In
the truest sense of the word. When
nature puts on Its gown of russet and
gold and copper It charms away the
sense of oncoming winter blasts and
makes one forget the shriveling noons
nnd restless nights of midsummer,
says Rochester Post-Express. The
farmer turns with complacency to the
final job of getting h.'s crops trans
mitted into a balance at the bank,
boys garner their booty of nuts and
openly pilfered apples, tho golfer
takes his final swings and pledges him
self to better things next year and the
coal man sings with Joy as he hears
the precious fragments tinkle down
the chutes toward the gaping furnace.
The question has arisen In Phila
delphia whether civil service examin
ers are vampire proof, and whether
goo-goo eyes have more influence In
lauding jobs than correct papers, says
Baltimore American. The question Is
answered entirely In favor of the offi
cial incorruptibility of the examiners
and the promise Is made that anV In
tending Pelllahs will be routed and
put to flight in great confusion If
they attempt vampire wiles. The rais
ing of the question, however, goes to
show tlmt even officialism cannot
wholly shake oft the susceptibilities
of human nature.
Mexico Is expelling the Bolshevtkl
there and Informing other governments
of the plots to establish Soviets. Rus
sia has done a favot- to the world by
demonstrating past doubt the utter
failure of this form of government os
tensibly for the people, but really
worse tyranny by the few than the
rule of kings, says Baltimore Ameri
can. Its results there are opening the
eyes of other nations to Its peril*.
A London wife complained of her
husband being so jealous that he
threw water on the kitchen stove after
she had cleaned It, claiming she
thought more of the stove thfcn she
did of him. If the hot times he evi
dently brought about In the house
could have been utilized It would have
been a great economical saving of
fuel.
A dog In Newfoundland saved 92
lives on a shipwrecked vessel by car
rying them a rope after struggling
with a heavy sea to reach them tor
over an hour. It Is a grave reflection
on human nature that many men live
their entire lives without being near
as useful to humanity as this one
dog.
A Spanish town mutinied lately be
cause the local government had not
supplied enough bulls for the bull
fight. It Is a pity that a nation like
Spain has not at this stage of the
world tli row a off so much of her prim
itive savagery.
Absence of horns on cattle has
been brought about by selective
breeding. It Is the Idea, just possibly,
of some sympathizer with the dog that
all these years has been tossed around
for worrying that cat.
A conference of wheat growers has
determined that the cost of growing
a bushel of wheat to insure the farm
er a 20 per cent profit Is $2.77. May
be, after all, the old methods were the
best.
Yon can get a pretty fair $1.25 shirt
for $2.50 after It has been reduced
from $4.50. All you have to do Is just
keep your eye on the bargain counter.
One advantage of the proposed one
man street car will be that the con
ductor cannot slam the door In your
face while the motorman drives on.
