Uraivt Sordid Sketch
of London Slum Life
About 'ne o'clock the miserable
little tilth shops of London, which
punctual?' thf obscure facades of the
long tenement rows like big lamps, ar?
crowded with women and children
carrying dishes und baskets, writes
AJfcn* l'aquet in the Frankfurter Zelt
ung.
Even as late as t?n o'clock children
play on the pavements and weary,
dowdy women Hit on the steps of their
tiny unllglitcd houses, whose windows
glint vacant and dusty into the dark
ness. Women also gHther In clusters
on the street corners. Silhouettes of
men at and out in front of brightly
lighted soup and baked potato cara
vans. randy stores and fruit shops
are still open.
In the middle of a row of darkened
ahow windows electric lights shine
brightly on the varnished coffin of
an undertaking parlor. All these
r:ttle details stand out sharp and ruth
an they do in China.
Until eleven o'clock the eorner pub?
are packed with humanity. Each has
three or more entrances leading to a
little narrow room separated from the
private hur by a light partition extend
ing from Die wall to the counter. The
bartender with his barmaids presides
in the middle of this horseshoe coun
ter, directing things In a fog of to
bacco smoke and whisky fumes.
Men stand as closely together on the
sawdust-covered tloor as their half
drained glasses on the wet, narrow
ledge In front of them. Dirty hands
empty again and again the pot of
highly salted shrimps beside the" door.
Yard Distance From
Roycd Nose to Thumb
More than eight hundred years ago
there lived a king?an English king,
one Henry, surnamed Iieauclerc, Alex
ander McAdle relates In the Atlantic
Monthly. Early In his reign gray
bearded councilors declared that In
their opinion it would be nice to have
a measure of length called a yard;
and this should be the distance be
tween the tip of royal Henry's nose
and the end of the royal thumb.
The king's nose may have been
large or small or tilted upward. More
over, the distance may have been
measured when the king's nose was
swollen, for royal noses can hit a
doorpost in the dark Just like common
noaes. And the royal thumb may
have been stubby or spatulate. Henry,
too, might have playfully extended his
fingers and wiggled them with his
thumb not quite at, but very near,
the end of his royal nose; or he might
have wiggled eight fingers with the
thumb of one hand touching the lit
tle linger of the other. Twirling his
fingers thus he could delicately con
vey to the court scientists who were
conducting the royul trlangulation
just what he thought of them. But
at all costs the deed wns done and
the Englishmen of the Twelfth cen
tury achieved a yard.
Dog Carried Danger Signal
A motorist who was driving through
a small town In Canada one night was
astonished to see a little red light
dancing about close to the ground on
the road ahead. As he drew nearer
he saw that It was an electric hulb
fed from n dry-cell battery fustened
on the back of a little dog. The own
er, it woman who was walking nearby,
explained that the dog refused to stay
ofT the streets at night, and that to
keep him from being run over she hod
contrived the canine tall light, so to
speak. No doubt the dog will soon
become familiar with the rules of the
road?will slow down and bnrk at all
crossings, keep always on the proper
side of the highway and never go
more than *10 miles an hour except
when he sees a cat ahead.?Youth's
Companion.
Stara in Southern Cross
The Southern cross Is not a phe
nomenon. It Is the popular name for
a Southern constellation situated near
the Antarctic circle, and therefore
never visible In northern latitudes.
It consists of four bright stars, to
which fancy, aided by Christian as'
soclatlons, gives the cruciform shape.
Two brilliant stars, which mark the
summit and foot of the Southern
cross, have nearly the same right as
cension. The constellation, there
fore, is almost vertical when passing
the meridian, and these two stars act
as pointers to the Antarctic pole

t lames of Happiness
' That Need Never Die
I always think of happiness as a
lame. I always have, all iny life. It's
lust a fancy of mine, but It's as clear
*s anything. Fire?a lighted fire
| throwing a gleam across the grayest
I jay, an Indistinguishable fire. Be
cause, however It dies down, you can
find embers at the heart of Its ashes
and build It up again with what yon
have. Almost without knowing It, al
most In spite of yourself, you do Just
that You take what you have: lore,
of course, if you sre one of the lucky
ones who have It, or friendship?any
thing that means happiness to you.
Sometimes the fuel that comes to your
hand Is the Joy you have In your own
oilnd, Ln learning and thinking, In
books and plays and music. Sometimes
it's religion. Most people, after they're
; older, keep It burning with work,
, hard, clean work and the little things
i that make it crackle?Jokes and non
sense and bits of singing and laugh
ing. Now and then, of course, you
pile It With the driftwood of your am
bitions, and your dreams shoot up and
ap. It's a Ore that costs you some
thing, happiness; but you keep It go
ing, as you keep life going. I sup
pose because it Is Instinct to preserve
what's yours.?From "The Flames of
Happiness," by Florence Ward.
New Light on Newton*9
Discovery of Gravity
Izaak Walton, the compleat angler,
ihould not be confused with Sir Isaac
Newton, the discoverer of the Isw of
jravity. Perhaps this little story,
which has never been told on them
before, will keep them separate lu the
aaind of the student.
Those two gentlemen were sitting
?n a river bank one day?Izaak fish
ing and Sir Issac watching him. Sud
denly an apple fell from an overhang
ing tree upon the head of the-latter,
svoklng a sound which posterity Is
aware was far from hollow. After
tome language which virtually spoiled
the fishing, Newton remarked to his
companion:
"It has Just struck me that It Is
very curious that apples do not fall
upward. Why do you suppose that Is
not 8o7"
"For the same reason," laughed
Walton raucously, "that the fish bites
the worm and the worm doesn't bite
the fish."
Thus at one and the same time New
ton demonstrated becoming gravity
?nd Walton unseemly levity.?"F. D.,M

History Told by Coin*
Romun coins illustrate the religion,
the architecture, the games and sports,
historic events and, In a striking man
ner. the advent of Christianity. The
early Constantlne coins disclose the
classic heathen gods; after his con
version the coins bear the symbol of
the cross.
The diversity of this coin Informa
tion was enhanced by the practice of
sending the mint master along with
Roman armies. Soldiers were paid In
the Held with money minted In the
Held, often from locally mined metals.
In England's civil war Charles 1. dur
ing his refuge In castles and forts,
struck off coins to pay h!s troops and
;lcfrav his personal expenses. These
nre the "siege-pieces" referred to by
collectors of English coins.
All Accounted For
The clergyman's daughter was a
cood, sweet soul. She was so Inter
ested In all the parishioners and loved
to know that they were comfortable
and had all they wanted. More than
one Ill-natured person had boon heard
to call It noslness, but no matter.
One mornlns she met little Tommy
Guntcr on his way home with a basket
of groceries.
"Well, Tommy," she said, stopping
and smiling at the little fellow, "and
how are yon all getting on?"
"Nicely, thank you, raLss," answered
Tommy, touching his cap respectfully,
"mother, she's got rheumatism, I've
got a boil and father's got a moqth In
Jail."?London Tit-Bit*.
Italian Lazzaroni
The name "Lazzaroni" was given to
n class of vagabonds In Naples, Italy,
which. In the Seventeenth and Eight
eenth centuries, formed a distinct
caste. They annually elected a chief,
called Capo Lazzaro, who was recog
nized by the authorities and frequent
ly took on active part in political af
fairs. In 1047, headed by Masanlello,
they overthrew the government and
for a few days held possession of the
city. In 1798, instigated by Cardinal
Uuffo, and led by Michel? Sforza,
they successfully resisted the attacks
of the Freach. The Lazzaroni had
no homes nor regular occupations.
They wore ragged clothea, were filthy
In their habits, and slept In the open
air. They were so-called either from
Lazarus, the befgar, or more prob
ably from the hospital of St Lasarus,
which served aa a place ef refuge for
the destitute of the dty.?Kansas
