NEVER GAVE UP A PROSPECT Salesman Would Wait but He Had No Idea of Losing Sight of a Possibility. Some years ago I went into a store to inquire the price of something, an expensive thing this was, that I wanted 1 to buy some day when I had the price, j says a writer in the New York Herald. They were just as nice to me as they would have been if I had come in ready to buy and plank down the cash. Then for the time being I forgot all about it, but they didn’t. About a year after my~visit to the store 'the salesman I had seen there came in to see rie. lie was a very agreeable gentleman and in no way insistent; he had just looked in on the chance that now I was ready to buy; blit my bank account hadn’t looked up to any great extent and 1 was not ready, as 1 told him; but I added that when I vas ready I would come_ in, and I would come to him. That, I thought, ended it as far as hearing from them was concerned; but not so. A year later I had another call from the salesman, my friend, if he will now permit me so to call him, on the same errand; a pleasant call and a pleasant little talk, but with th'e same result as before; and now, a year to a clay after that second call, hp has !’ Vn in to sea me again. We had our usual pleasant little talk, and then I asked him: “Don’t you ever give up a prospect?” To which he answered, smilingly: “We never give up a prospect till he dies.” ” imprisoned in Coffins. The most terrible prison in the world is in Urga, Mongolia. It consists of a triple stockade enclosing a number of underground dungeons which are pitch dark and almost devoid of ventilation. But this is not all. The wretched pris¬ oners condemned to inhabit them are shut up separately in heavy, iron clamped chests, in shape resembling coffins.. There is a small hole in the side of each, just big enough for the poor wretch his inside manacled to ythrusf hands. out They his head or see daylight for but a few minutes daily,-when their food is thrust into their box-prisons through the hole. They can not lie down flat, they can not sit. for they are not only man¬ acled hut chained to the coffins. The majority are in for life sentences, and no prisoner Is ever allowed out of his box under any circumstances, except ■when he is to he executed or, as hap¬ pens very rarely—to be set free. Antiquity of Peat. The use of peat ns a source of heat goes hack beyond the historical period in the ,ancient h’s’ory of the earlv tribes in northern Germany. Pliny, the Roman naturalist, gives us possibly the first indication of the use of peat, lie reports that tlm Teutons on the border of the north sea dried and burned mud. what we now would rail peat. In Ireland, Great Britain, Rus¬ sia. Scandinavia. Germany, Holland, and parts of France peat has been used as. a fuel since time immemorial. The peat was cut from the bog very ! much in the same manner as it is j still being imre done it in many in brick parts shapes, of Eu , rope, v, is cut allowed to dry in the wind and sun. She Knew a Windfall. Mrs. Youngbride thought the apples the farmer had brought her were rather dirty, hut he explained that this was because they had fallen off the tree onto the ground—-in short, they were windfalls—so she bought them. A week later she called the farmer’s vvjfe up on the telephone. “I ordered the best cucumbers for pickling,” she I j ^ , R j iar pjy > “ am j you sent me wind- 1 falls. “Sent what?” gasped the farmer’s wife. “Windfall cucumbers! I can tell; you needn’t ‘think I can’t There’s dirt on them.” m mm joy Lifo in Cairo Really Begins in the Evening. Summer Days Too Hot for Any Exer¬ tion, but With the Fall of Night the City Awakes. The city of Cairo is really pleasant in summer, at least In the evening, writes a correspondent of the London Daily Express. English people living In Egypt had a chance to find this out when the high cost of travel prevented their usual summer trip to England. It is for the evenings that Cairo real!}’ lives. Through the long after¬ noon one may lie motionless, in a darkened room, avoiding even the ef¬ fort of thought, but nothing arrests the steady flow of perspiration that drips and drips until one marvels that there is anything of him left but skin and bone. When the Nile is rising the air is heavy with moisture and it is this that makes the heat so hard to bear. At last the setting sun floods the desert and the Mokattam bills with a tangerine glow that changes swiftly into a soft, opalescent green light. Dusk falls swiftly, and a little breeze shivers through the treetops. The streets that but a short while ago were almost empty save for list¬ less policemen and beggars sleeping in a patch of shade, become as animated as a Paris boulevard. The pavement tables outside the cafes are thronged. Picturesque sellers of water and sher¬ bet, clashing two large bowls together to attract attention, ply their trade; others sell little nosegays of strongly scented jasmine"; and the evening, pa¬ pers are bought eagerly by the awak¬ ening population, while birds twitter their evening hymn. It is on the pavement that the true Cairene prefers to dine. There is one street in particular filled with nothing but cafes, and their tables stretch half way across the road. At some one may order a meal a la carte from the restaurant; at others one orders a glass of beer and picks up courses haphazard from half a dozen different vendors; strange mix¬ tures of salad from one, bread from another, slices of spiced^ sausage, the leg of a chicken, a handful of prawns, fruit and all manner of things from as manv different sources. This is Cairo’s hour; there are oth¬ er things that the strenuously inclined may do during the daytime—tennis, golf, cricket out at Gezira Sporting club, swimming In the fresh water bath beneath the shadow of the Pyra¬ mids or in the sulphur spring at Helo nan—but there is more of hard labor than pleasure in such pastimes. It is for the evening that one lives— and the perfect evening finishes with a sail in a felucca on the romantic Nile, where one takes deep breaths of the cool night air and turns one’s face to catch every little breeze that blows. Emerson and the East. It is interesting to find that the one art of which Emerson did have a direct understanding, the art of poetry, gave him some insight into the relation of the artist to hi« vehi¬ cle. In his essay on Shakespeare there is a full recognition of the debt of Shakespeare to his times. This essay is filled with the historic sense. We ought not to accuse Emerson because he lacked appreciation of the fine arts, but rather admire the truly Goefhean spirit in which he insisted upon the reality of arts of which he had no un¬ derstanding. This Is the same spirit which led him to insist on the value of the Eastern poets. Perhaps there exist a few scholars who can tell us how far Emerson understood or mis¬ understood Saadi and Firdusi and the Koran. But we need not be dis¬ turbed for his learning. It is enough that he makes us recognize that these men were men, too, and that their writings mean something not unknow¬ able to us. The East added nothing to Emerson, but gave him a few trap¬ pings of speech.—John Jay Chapman. Stanford White’s Home a Clubhouse. The former New York home of Stan¬ ford White, noted during the archi¬ tect’s life as a treasure house of rare paintings and other “objets d'art,” is now the clubhouse for the daughters of the countries from which those treasures' came. I» was recently opened by the International Institute of the New York city Y. W. C. A. as a social and educational center of for¬ eign-born women and girls. Girls of so many nationalities meet there for English classes, dramatics, gym work, domestic arts and good times in gen¬ eral that neighbors in the vicinity have named it “Our Own Little League of Nations.” It is one of the (52 cen¬ ters for foreign-born girls maintained in various parts of the United States by the Y. W. C. A. and directed by American women and “nationality workers” who speak the European languages. No More Lifts. A young married man lives In the same apartment building as myseif. He has an automobile, and as we both leave the building about the same time in the morning he frequently gives me a lift. One morning I missed him and upon meeting him in the evening he said: “Why, I looked for you this morning to take you downtown. Where were i you ?” Whereupon his little daughter, who was with him, piped In: “Why, daddy, didn’t mamma tell you never to take that girl downtown again?”—Chicago Tribune tsci pipe Cigarette Can Be Traced to the Siege cf Acre. Turkish Artilleryman the First to Make Use of Tobacco in That Par¬ ticular Form. Although many efforts have been made to show that the use of tobacco was known to the ancient Greeks and E.ptmns, they have never been suc cssful. We can accept therefore that gem ral belief that tobacco was first used by the aborigines and that Colum :’U« was the first white man to chroui cle i: use. The Indians used the weed in a pipe and when the narcotic was In¬ ti thiced throughout Europe and Asia It was for centuries used either in pipes of fantastic design or in tlje rolls known as cigars. The Venetians are credited with getting the Turks to use tobacco, for the weed was cultivated in Italy. Bales of the seed of the nicotine plant found their way into Turkey and scan the Turkish tobacco industry was established. This brings us to Mehemet Ali, un derpaid worker in the tobacco fields of Kavalla, afterward a leader of the Turkish armies, who left the hoe for the sword and the scepter—and the cigarette. With the bold bashi-ba zouks Mehemet eventually became a pasha. His son Ibrahim was sent to the siege of Acre, the great Syrian ?a ,-t nghold. The chief of artillery, a Frenchman, at this siege early in the Nineteenth century, had invented a powder spill, a kind of paper lamp lighter filled with explosive grains, which was thrust into the touch holes of cannon, in place of the old-fashioned uni wasteful powder train which was la'il , n the piece and led into the hole. spills were made of light and , t M’gh India or rice paper. Ibrahim : . a v as so pleased by the way the siege was conducted that he sent to the artillerymen some very fine Ka valla tobacco. This they mixed with the Syrian plant and greatly enjoyed as they smoked the mixture from a r------File or water pipe supplied with a it 11 - p it of mouthpieces which sufficed i r an entire squad when off duty. ir e evening as a crew was about to on duty a shot from a Turkish fort ( bed the beloved narghile to smith ei cns. The artillerymen could not 1 ave the battery and they knew not where to get another narghile. A re¬ sourceful corporal rolling powder spills was struck with an inspiration, lie made a number of spills in which he substituted grains of tobacco for . in' owder and then in a bantering ,ion presented these little cylin¬ ders to soldiers off duty. He then put one of the spills to his mouth, saying that as long as he could not smoke any more he was going to blow off his head. When the match was applied there came forth instead of a slight • ’-.plosion a wreath of incense, and thus was born the cigarette. Old Ibrahim was amused when he heard how much spifl paper was being ti- ! :,d said, as he pointed to a strategic place in the walls of Acre: ’ a breach there and you shall la all tiie paper and tobacco that you need.” The deed was done In two days. This- new style of smoking tobacco in paper rolls gained in favor as Me f an t Ali asserted his sway over Egypt and from Cairo it spread to the Euro¬ pean capitals through the diplomatic -■ rvices of the various nations. in Russia the cigarette grew in pop uk:r favor and in the early ’40s clg ar n • v, i re sold in that nation which v< , *tJy Turkish and partly made of fight tobacco grown in the Uni¬ ted States. Rupert Hughes Paid for Damages. The “cold spine” has-been taken as the last word in literary effect, but Rupert Hughes seems to be able, on rare occasions when his genial na gr grows hitter, to make people faint in a good old-faRhioned way. When his story, “The Butcher’s Daughter,” vas published in a magazine, the edi¬ tor received an indignant letter com plalning that it “caused a perfectly ■) >; If' v. normal young woman to faint, a practice to which she Is not in the • :w addicted.” An additional penalty aid for its perusal was the doctor’s fee of So for a night visit and his taxi 'arc of S2. Mr. Hughes promptly wrote a- •ftmnd apology, and inclosed his check for $7.2.1, the extra sum being fie price of the magazine. The young i oman replied that the letter “was a source of great delight, and that the most she hoped for was an auto groplied copy of his recent book.”— From a Bulletin of Harper & Broth¬ ers.
