Lucky Animals Animal mascots? become ever more and more i*opular. Dancers are wear ing little black pigs In elllgy. The fisherman's mascot is the petrel, the omen of good weather. The black cat is almost universally considered lucky, but Otis is specially so with actors nnd actresses. Many of "the profes sion" would not dream of playing a first night through without a sum 11 black cut charm of some sort. Thu ait'iimn’s mascot is the eagle, and a gardener will often keep tor luck a charm in the form of a toad. People with gray eyes should always choose a monkey mascot. Brown eyes will find the horse a lucky animal, and Mire eyes should wear a little bear charm. A quaint colored butterfly is the best luck-brlnger for green-eyed people. It is unlucky for fair-haired people to wear any mascot in the form of a snake, and a mouse charm will only bring bad luck to anyone who is rush chough to wear it. Whistler Stories A flippant reply to the secretary of a London club w-hero Whistler's ac count was past due produced this re tort : “Dear Mr. Whistlef: It Is not u Nocturne in Purple or a Symphony in Blue and Gray we are after, hut an Arrangement in Gold and Silver.” The money was paid. A certain gentleman whose portrait Whistler bad painted failed to appre ciate the work, nnd finally remarked: “After all, Mr. Whistler, you can’t call that a great work of art.” "Perhaps not," replied the painter, “but, then, you can't call yourself a great work of nature.”—Kansas City Times. Vanity Not Fault of North Carolina Man When John Cerraclit, an Italian sculptor, wrote to Hugh Williamson, one of North Carolina's notables, in lho early days of America, requesting 1dm to sit for his bust, “not on ac count of getting Mr. Williamson's in fluence In favor of the Nation ail mon ument ; (Ids is a subject too worthy I to lie recognized; but merely on ac- | count of his distinguished character, j that will produce honor to the artist,” J Williamson replied: | “Mr. Hugh Williamson is ranch | obliged to Mr. Cerrachl for the honor intended him, and could not possibly suppose that Mr. Cerrachl had offered | such n compliment by way of a bribe, ! for a man In bis public station who i could accept a bribe or betray a trust I ought never to have Ids likeness made j except from a block of wood. “Mr. Wiiliafason in tiie meantime, j cannot avail himself of Mr. Cerrachl’s \ services, as ho believes that posterity | will not lie solicitous to know what j were tlie features of ids face."—Kan sas City Star. Chinaman Carried Off Maiden of His Choice' “I.nh-lmli,” or (lie “twelfth moon eighth day” is always lucky for mar riages. l’ofir people of the Anhui province in China can be sure of an nus|ileIous day without going to tiie expense of consulting the fortune- tellers. This year in the town of Lluanchow there was a novel marriage proce clou. A young man of twenty-two wanted bis iu-idv, hut iter parents are stild to have thought him too poor for tiie girt, .and demanded n sum of money which dbey thought would end in (lie riiatch'bolng broken off. Friends suggested lie should abduct tiie girl so on the auspicious “eighth" lie and u few friends went to tiie girl's home, and -they were in such force ns to carry tiie day. To prevent anythin like lawlessness the bride nnd groom were bound together buck to back and tiie young man was marched oil*, like tiie snail,-with ids house cldu 11—wifi —ou tills back. The girl had protest ed she did not want to lie Ids wife and apparently sulked, hut next day filings were smoothed over by friends, “But wiry tie them back to hack? asked one. “Oh, to stop tlig^glrl from struggling," said a friend of the groom. In other words It was cave man stuff.—North China Herald. J ' Geographic Joke Panama perpetrates one of tiie | greatest of geographic jokes on t lio.->e who visit It. It convincingly makes cast west. From Panama City the snn rises out of tiie Pacific, which to most American minds is Hie proper place only for setting suns. And lie who sails through tiie canal from tiie Atlantic to the Pacific travels aiot from east to west, as lie nntiirai- iry ‘expects to do, but from west to east, <«r, mare .accurately, from north west to sotnlieast. One gels tiie ini ■press-ion, as one writer lias phrased if, Hint, “there is something crooked about tlds.” The crookedness is found to lie in the Isthmus, which mils pre dominantly east and west, instead of north and south, and in addition makes a double curve like tlie letter S, so that at one place the Atlantic waters are actually west of those of tiie Pacific.—National Geographic So ciety Bulletin. Planned City or Refuge In 1821 1111 idea occurred to the late Mn). Mordecai M. Noah, a distin guished Israelite of the city of New York, then editor of a prominent po litical journal called the National Advocate, that Grand island, iu the Niagara river, would make a suitable itsyiti: 1 for the Jews of all nations, whereon' il ay could establish a great city and become emancipated from the oppression bearing so heavily Up- ! on them in foreign countries. Tiie ; city of Ararat), which lie contoinplut- ! ed founding for this purpose, never j developed after a series of failures | and d: appointments on Ids part. i Lincoln. Myth Exploded The position of the hands of a Jew- | dor's clock sign !.? cue which has been selected for Hie reason that It fur nishes the greatest facility to meet Hie requirement for painting the long er name above tiie hands and tiie shorter word below. The minute hand has been varied In position from 7 to 25 minutes after 8. Sometimes (lie longer name requires to be written in a semicircle above the hands. There have been stories connected with tiie death of Lincoln Hint the positiou of the hands Is commemorative of the hour of (lie death, but this story can bo shown to lie false from Die simple fact Hint the hour of tiie death of ! Lincoln was not at 8:22 o'clock. Fur ther, the use of tlds posit Ion of tiie hands of the clock is believed to have preceded Lincoln's dentil. Wanted, Temperaturel Bast winter Mr. and Mrs. Brown were ill with the “llu” In separate rooms. One morning, henring a con versation going on between the -col ored maid and Mr. Brown, Mrs. Brown asked the mahl when slve entered her room if .Mr. Brown had any fever. The maid replied that she did not know. Mrs. Brown tlion said to the maid: "Go and ask Mr. Brown if lie lias any temperature this morning. Tell him I liaven'<t any. 1 ’ As Hie maid left the room, she left Hie door open, and Mrs. Brown over heard tiie following conversation: “Mr. Brown, Mrs. Brown sa.v Is yon got nay temperature this morning?" Mr. Brown replied: “I don’t know whether I have any or not, Lucy." And Hie maid said: “Well, If you is got any she wants some, cause she ain't got none tills morning."—Youth’s Companion. “Fossil Raindrops” In slabs of Trlassic rock little de pressions tire often seen that have j been called "fossil raindrops," the idea J being that they were formed by show ers on muddy sea beaches, and pro- 1 served by being covered with a layer ! of mud at tiie next high tide. But lately it 1ms been suggested, in view of observations on n flood plain in the Dorn valley, that the supposed impressions of rain drops may really be due to pittlngs formed by bubbles in n film of mud at tiie bottom of shal low water. There have been watched | the formation of many pittlngs, and j it has been found that after the mud j br.s dried they exactly resemble “l'os- j : d 1 raindrops.” Playing-Cards Differ American playing-card manufactur ers have ji profitable market awaiting (hem in Mexico and other Spanish- speaking American countries. Bur cards must be of patterns different from those to which Americans tire ac customed. People In those countries demand Hie Spanish pack, which eon sists of only 40 cards, nnd tens. Fur thermore, the face cards him different. The 11 pc (called “ s") Is much like oni'I I he rev’ (king) wears a crown, the qiie-.n Is represented by a young woman, and the jack (“caliall") Is a horse. Me. t of the playing cards used In Spnnish-Amerienn countries ure im ported from Spain, and are smaller limn- ours. Commonly they are thin nnd flimsy, so as to be hard to shut- file, and tearing easily. fJnderstand Now That Sun Radiates Health Two architects nt Paris have built n bouse of which any room may have sunshine at any moment of the day, provided the sun Is shining. It turns on a pivot like a railroad turntajile. A finger on the electric-button Is all lliat is needed. Tills may not Initiate a now style of architecture, or house-building. It would ho 11 little expon. ive for the average householder; lie will content himself with gloving ills sitting or dining room to It. But the house Il lustrates and emphasizes the new de- wot Ion to Hie sun. Our doctors and scientists have Just •found out new and exceedingly valu able therapeutic qualities iu the sun’s rays—rays that strike the skin with out any intervening medium. It is nature's.oldest and finest remedy, con stantly used and relied upon by the lower animals Imt long misunderstood and unappreciated by the high ani mal, man. Y\'e have always talked of the benefits of out-of-door life, hut we did not realize our dependence'on and debt to those healing nnd vltuliz ing rays direct from the source of till life on our planet.

The aphids ■arc sap-suckers. They settle down, drive their beaks into the bark until they reach tiie sap, then sit con tentedly drinking their fill. They arc so '.contented, in fact, that they often si their skins, casting off legs nnd eyes, and cling there blind etui help less. Clinging thus, Hie helpless moth ers give .'birth to their young, who having eyes and logs, run about quite actively until they find Hie sap streams. The processes tiro repeated until Hie plant harbors so many of these tiny creatures that they drink all Its san, and (he plant dies.

Nation Without L GTzglXClgQ One of the strangest things to lie found among Hie notions of Hie world Is tiie fact that Switzerland has no language of Its own. Tho official lan guages of Switzerland are French, Ital ian and German, all throe being rec ognized as tiie “mother tongue" of the majority of the lulmiiltan'ts. A majority of the people speak Ger man, while tiie otliers use French nnd Dalian, varying as it rule, according to the '.proximity of the people to each country-whoso tongue they speak. Dublin (documents mid notices are printed in both .Hie French and Get- man languages. in (he Swiss national parliament the members make their speeches either In French or Herman, the members being as familiar with one language us tiie other.

Germs Losing Virulence Changing habits and diet of man provide germs with different types of ■ <>11. so Hint It is not difficult to believe that germs‘change their diameter In 1 lie course of centuries, notes llygcia Magazine, editorially.
