•Uilf\k, from absorbed poisons.
I bad a dull, sluggish feeling,
and my work was neromplisb-

“I had heard about Black-

Special Folding of
Dills Prevents Loss
With many men it is a common
liublt lo carry a few odd hills in con
venient pockets to rnvu themselves
the trouble of pulling out their wal
lets to pay for snia’I articles pur
chased. Frequently these hills are
folded In Indifferent fashion nod
stuffed Into pockets where oilier bills,
folded with equal carelessness, may
be reposing.
Bankers point out that this is apt
to be a costly habit, as a bill may lie
dropped when some of them are with
drawn from the pocket. They point
out that There Is one proper way to
bundle bills thus carried; that Is, by
smoothing out the hills, placing them
together, preferably with the smaller
denominations on lop and larger be
low, although that Is entirely a matter
of preference. Then one end of the
little pile of hills Is turned inward to
tin; depth of about tin Inch or so mid
folded down, nftor which.the hills are
creased lengthwise down the center
mill folded over. Finally the narrow
strip of hills is folded from end to end
ip Die most convenient Ji.tlie wt.uh
In this way the hills are all locked
together and there is no danger of
any being separated and lost, while
the owner can readily unfold them and
extract wlint ho wants at any time, re
folding the bulaiiee securely and re
turning them to Ids pocket.
Character Shown in
Likes and Dislikes
If you arc ever In doubt us to
whether nn acquaintance would prove
a good companion, there is one in
fallible sign by which you can make
sure of the matter. When you talk
to him notice whether lie tells you
first of something lie likes or dislikes.
If lie is prone to air his dislikes you
may be sure lie will not prove a very
cheerful companion. His mind is de
structive. He Is more concerned with
pulling to pieces than with building
up. Such a person lias a tendency to
shut up one’s mind or put it on Its
guard against impulses and Innova
tions. He has a sensitive nature that
withdraws Itself Into its shell on the
least impact of the common things
about him. O110 will get nothing from
him hut grumblings and anhuadver
slons.
The person on the other hand who
quickly makes you acquainted with
what ho likes is one who will prove a
fine stimulating companion, lie is
ardent, curious, adventuring. lie will
communicate his own enthusiasm and
awaken in those lie meets tastes and
sympathies and ideas. lie Is a bulkier,
a creator, a doer. Such men of in
finite likes are to be cultivated.
Old Roman Religion
Ruins of a Roman soldiers’ temple
■to the eastern sun god Mitlira, dat
ing back to before A. D. 32o, have
recently been uncovered near the north
German city of Dicburg. The find is
regarded as one of the most important
archeological discoveries ever made in
Germany. The altar piece, a slab of
sandstone about a yard square carved
with scenes from the mythical life of
the god, was found In nlinost perfect
condition. The cult of Mitlira was an
Immensely popular religion In Rome
(luring early Christian times, especial
ly in the legions, which spread it
throughout the vast extent of the em
pire, and it was only with much diffi-
culty that Christianity finally was able
to overcome mid replace It.
Truly Feminine Role
The Woman’s neighbor is Die mother
of a girl of eleven, a boy of nine, and
another wee daughter of five. One re
cent rainy afternoon the Woman
dropped In for a cliat and found all
three children nt home. In the course
of tho conversation the subject
chnnged to plans for the future. Tho
mother in nn attempt to discover her
children’s viewpoints asked each one
to name his or her ambition. The girl
of eleven replied without hesitation
thnt she Intended to he a great singer.
The boy chose ns Ills vocation the pro
fession of acting. In response to the
same question, however, the little one
of five answered simply, “I want to be
the nudlcrrce.”—New York Sun.
Effective Comeback
When Dr. Wellington Koo, highly
cultured and American educated
Chinaman, was In Washington he at
tended n banquet and found himself
seated next to an obsequious Ameri
can, of the kind who thinks there Is
only one kind of Chinaman. Tho first
course had passed nnd the American
thought It time to start some sort of
conversation. "Liken soupee?” he
asked of Koo. The Chinaman bowed
affirmatively. A few minutes later,
when the toastmaster had finished his
opening remarks, Koo leaned over.
"Likee speechee?” the Chinaman
quizzed the American. Conversation
between them lagged after that.—

Old Roman Fountain
Credited to Domitian
uome lias the reputation of lining
the city which possesses the largest
number of artistic and monumental
fountains, which all help to give her
a most attractive aspect. But certain
ly very few people in Rome, writes a
correspondent of the Christian
Science Monitor, could tell you which
is the oldest of all, and guides often
miss pointing it out to the tourists and
other foreign visitors.
At the foot of the road leading to
the Coliseum there lies the so-culled
Meta Suduns, a fountain whose nume
Is probably derived from Its conical
shape, similar to the “metae" of the
circus. The fountain Is believed to
have been erected or embellished by
the Emperor Domltian, and it was re
produced on the special medal struck
on the occasion of the formal opening
of the Coliseum. The water issued
from numerous small holes in a bronze
globe" at the top and fell In a veil Into
a large circular basin, lined through
out with marble. This fountain is
mentioned by tire philosopher Seneca
tn one of his epistles, when he com
plains of tho noise which was made by
U showman who blew his trumpet
close to the fountain.
Gretna Green Unlike
Toivn of Olden Days
Belief in Witchcraft
Strong in Year 1680
A writer, looking over the annals
of Ncwburyport, Muss., dug up n curi
ous case of tho witchcraft craze. It
was In 10,SO that some very strange
happenings took place In tho house of
nn old resident; pots nnd pans rattled
nt unearthly hours of the night and
missiles Hew through the air In the
most mysterious manner nnd on one
occasion a brick from the chimney
struck the old man and nearly ended
his earthly existence. Ills wife was
tried nnd convicted of being a witch
and sentenced to ho hanged. A neigh
bor suspected a boy, the old man’s
grandson, and In telling the aged man
lie could determine the cause, hinted
he had a knowicdgo of astrology and
astronomy. Suspicion of witchcraft
fell on him nnd he was tried and es
caped conviction only when another
neighbor testified ho had seen the boy
throw a shoe at his grandfather.
Then suspicion fell on tho grand
mother and she was convicted nnd
sentenced to death. Meanwhile the
grandson went away and the disturb
ances ceased. A reprieve was granted
nnd.lapjr Die case was dismissed.
The big.increase In the surplus of
English women, ns Indicated In re
cent census returns, has robboil Gretna
Green (Scotland) of hopes of staging
a comeback. The good old days of
romance are gone forever, aver the
townsfolk.
Daughters were far more scarce a
hundred years or so ngo than now
when parents so rarely try to shoot
any young sports who purloin them.
Gretna Green did most of its rushing
marriage business between 1751 and
1S30.
One of the popular paintings is that
of romantic passengers hi n post-
clmlso hurrying to the town on the
boundary line between England and
Scotland and showing tho pursuing
father’s vehicle in a ditch with the
wheel broken down.
This picture Is more in demand
than the village blacksmith himself
who used to lend a helping hand to
parlies bent on clandestine marriage
to avoid the English law.
% Made Arrow Complete
Its Destined Covtfpe
In the mountain province of Luzon,
Philippine Islands, where the Igorors
nnd Ifugaos anil Knlingns live by
primal laws duplicated in the Old
Testament of the Bible, but modified
by Christ’s philosophy in the New, a
journeying missionary priest recently
was shot In the back with an arrow.
He turned buck trying to discover his
hidden assailant, and when the young
man in the .bushes found out that lie
was a priest, he came and knelt before
him nnd begged heavenly pardon.
There was a feud on, he explained,
nnd he had thought tho priest nn
enemy; In the dusk of late twilight lie
had not recognized the priest’s garb.
All right, hut how could they get the
arrow out of tho priest’s back? Oh,
that would he very easy and would not
hurt much; so the young mountaineer
stepped behind the priest, cut the
feather-end off tho arrow and jammed
the point on through tho priest’s body;
and then he stepped around In front
nnd pulled the arrow out. The wound
healed soon enough, no vital organs
having bccu scotched.—Exchange.
Ancient Topography
The road followed by the dead on
tlieir way to the Elysjan fields, based
«n the actual topography of the Nile
valley, is depicted on one of the earli
est maps known. In a lecture before
tlie Royal Dutch Geographical society,
Dr. F. C. Wieder said that the first
map makers of whom there is any rec- ;
onl were the ancient Egyptians nnd j
Babylonians. The way to Elysium j
was pictured on a sarcophagus of the
old empire of Egypt now In Berlin, j
A plan of the Nubian gold mines, he
continued, Is preserved on a papyrus j
of the Fourteenth century before ;
Christ. Rond maps made into a house
hold necessity by the automobile had
precursors In the clay tablets Into
which the Babylonians baked charts
of tlieir roads 50 centuries ago, ac
cording to the Dutch scientist
Setting Him Straight
"Aw, I can’t t’.’ whined the young
nephew.
“You can’t?" answered old Riley
Rczzidew sarcastically. "You ain’t
been hypnotized, have ye, or got a
broken leg, or the dyspepsy, or a wife
and mother-in-law to henpeck the en
ergy out o’ you; you are not in the
poorhousc or in jail, or bound hand
and foot with chains, are ye? In this
present Anno Domerni and this Great
Land of the Free any whole and
healthy man or boy who makes use of
the word Vnn’t,’ when referring to any
task or duty of everyday life, ought
to be arrested for misappropriating
other people’s property—stealing a
word that is the rightful possession of
cripples, paupers, prisoners and model
’husbands.”—Kansas Cily Star.
As Yet, Unseen
In the Lambs club a few evenings
ago a Scottish actor, who had heark
ened to a scries stories dealing with
the alleged penurlousness of his race,
was moved to remonstrate. He argued
that thrift was a virtue and one of
which the Scotch might well be proud.
“As a collector of oddities,” he re
marked, “I have occasion to visit
pawnshops nil over the city, and to
the credit of my ruee I wish to state
thnt I. lmve never yet seen a set of
bagpipes In one of them.”
Leather Centuries Old
Pieces -of leather believed to he -six
centuries old, dug up in excavating for
the foundation of a new building In
the city of London, were still In serv
iceable condition nnd were used bj
the workmen to repair tlieir slices
The find was made in a heap about ten
yards square of waste and manufac
tured leather in a layer of black mad,
which apparently had been tho dump of
a medieval leather worker, deposited
In the Fourteenth or Fifteenth cen
tury. The wet earth had preserved
the material.
Honest Preference
“I don't pretend to know much about
art," said ttie lady who remembers
something and thinks she originated
it, “hut I know what I like.”
"I'm that way, too,” said Miss
Cayenne. “And I’m frank enough to
say that at an nrtlstic reception the
things I really like are chicken salad,
ice cream and fudge."
Most Children on Farms
More than half the farm population
of the United States, 50.4 per cent to
he exact, is made up of persons undei
twenty-one. In the cities only 37.5
per cent of the people are less than
twenty-one. Which Is as it should be,
for tho country is the place to rulse
children. And farm-raised boys and
girls are the life-blood of all large
cities.—Cupper’s Weekly.
Pet Cat Made Model
for Artist's Lioness
When Sir William Richmond, the
artist, was a small liny Ills mother
took him to St. Paul's cathedral' to
hear ttie singing, and lie was disap
pointed because everything was so
cold and colorless. He said to his
piotlier suddenly, .“Perhaps one day I
shall decorate this placei" nnd we can
Imagine how she smiled nt the thought
of Willy coloring tho walls with a box
of chalks.
But the hoy’s drenin came true, for
somebody else thought with him thnt
the interior of llie cathedral needed
color and decoration, nnd in 1S!)0
Richmond, then a famous painter, was
.entrusted with tho work of designing
mosaics to cover the roof of the choir.
The western most of the throe snu-
ccrdonies in the choir vaults repre
sents tlie Creation of tiro Beasts.
Richmond hail a favorite eat which
loved him so much that she used to
attend him even wliilfe he had Ids bath,
and when lie got out she would crouch
down and lick Ids great toe adoringly.
She was not beautiful or valuable,
but the grace of her attitude so
charmed the artist thnt he decided to
use it in Ids great work. In a panel
near the Creation of the Beasts there
may lie seen Adam between a lion and
lioness. The lions are so true to life
that when they wore shown to a Zulu
chief he started and Involuntarily
raised ids hand to stab. But tho
lioness Is really a litilo tame eat lick
ing her piaster's foot.—London Times.
Good Definitions, but
Not Dictionary Terms
Anyone can go to tho dictionary for
definitions, but In no dictionary will
be found quite so good a definition of
“gossip" ns that given by a child who
on being asked wlint the word meant,
'said, "It’^wheu- nobody don't do noth
ing anil somebody goes and tells
about It."
Amid a collection of droll or witty
definitions accumulated from time to
time through newspaper reading, the
following seem worthy of repetition;
“Dandy"—“a football for men and a
pincushion for women.” "Snoring"—
“Sleeping out loud.” “Bachelor"—"a
man who has lost the opportunity of
making some woman miserable." "Ty
rant"—“one who kills worms lest they
iturn.”
“Nothing"—“a bungholo without a
’barrel around R." “Truth”—“tho only
thing that can't be Improved upon.”
"Polite Interest"—“listening to things
you know nfl about, told by one who
knows nothing about them.” "Canni
bal"—"one who loves Ids fellowmen.”
“Caution”—"the dark lantern of en
terprise.” “Smiles”—“laughter’s pho
tographs.”

5,000,000 volumes. The largest thea
ter Is the Paris Opera house, covering
three acres. The largest bronze statue,
that of Peter the Great, in Leningrad,
Weighs 1,100 tons. The biggest stone
statue is In Japan, 44 feet high. The
largest college is in -Cairo, with more
than 15,000 students and 500 teachers.
Damascus has the honor of being the

Distance in Solar System
Take n farmer’s field anil place hi
it a two-foot globe to represent the
sun. In a circle S2 feet away is a
grain of mustard which represents
Mercury, the planet nearest the sun.
The earth Is a pea 215 feet away, and
the planet Saturn is a small orange in
a circle two-fifths of a mile distant.
This is the astronomer Ilerchel’s Il
lustration of distance In the solar sys
tem, so in a measure we can compre
hend them. In reality Saturn is 8S6,-
000,000 miles from the sun, compared
with the earth’s 03,000,000 miles. Even
when the earth Is closest to Saturn
that planet Is 793,000,000 miles away.

Parts of a Tree
When we look nt a tree we can
recognize In its make-up three prin
cipal parts. They nro the roots, the
stem, and the crown. The roots com
prise that part of a tree that Is usu
ally found below the ground, says the
American Tree association. Such
trees ns the spruces, the hemlocks,
and the pines have roots that tend to
spread and lie close to the ground.
These shallow-rooted trees are, as a
rule, not windfirm. Other trees, such
ns the hickories, the oaks, and the
walnuts develop a long taproot These
trees are firmly anchored and rarely
uprooted.
