Settled It.
At the amateur operatic perform
ance of “The Mistletoe Bough”—la
whloh, as you remember, the heroine
hides In a cedar chest and Is smoth
ered to death—the lady who played
this part was, vocally, a terrible fias
co. N'everthelees, they straggled
until the scene where she climbed
Into the box—a real "property," kind*
ly lent for the occasion by Janee
Smith, president of the local safe de
posit company. The Ud snapped
down with a click that was only too
realistic. ,
A frightened stage manager rushed
out to where the owner of the bo*
sat and whispered frantically:
"Gimme the key! The Ud of yon*
hloomlng box has eprung-lockod. "
“Is that woman going to sing asJ
more?"
"Sure; ehe comee In as a ghost in
the next act and sings two songa*
"That settles It." muttered Old
Jones Smith, putting something back
In his pocket. "I’m going to keep the
key "
Missed Every Shot.
One of the best stories told about
Sir John French is how, one night
at dinner, some officers were dis
cussing rifle shooting. The genera!
was listening until at length he
chipped In with:
"I’ll bet any one here,” In his calm
way, "that I can fire ten shots at 500
yards and call each shot correctly
without waiting for the marker. I'll
stake a box of cigars on It.”
The me 1 ir present accepted the
offer, and the next morning the whole
mess was the shooting ringe to s^e
the trial.
Sir John flred "Miss!" he an
nounced He fired again. "MU*!' -
he repeated. A third shot. "Miss!"
"Hold on there," protested the
Major "TVhat are you doing? Tou
are not shooting at the target at all."
But French finished his task.
"Miss!" "Miss!” "Miss!"
"Of course I wasn't shooting at the
target," he said. "I was shooting for
those cigars”

Spies and Blotters.
Every foreign office of Europe acts
on the principle that an army of spies
Is constantly on the alert to steal its
secrets, and infinite precautions are
taken to baffle their efforts.
Very shortly after the first use of
blotting paper it was discovered that
it was quite possible to cause a blot
ting paper to give up its jealously-
guarded secret by simply holding it in
front of a mirror. Long after all the
commercial world had forgotten the
existence of such a thing the Brit
ish Foreign Office used a sand shaker
to dry its important documents.
Then specially manufactured black
blotting paper was used, but this was
not found to be absolutely spy-proof,
and a return to the sand shaker was
contemplated. Then some one sug
gested the simple expedient of a small
absorbent roller. When such a roller
has been run up and down and across
a document once or twice the clever
est spy in the world is at libeiTy to
try his hand at deciphering im

T HE number of persons who can
earn a living by gathering the
wild products of fields and
streams of the British Isles at the
present time is comparatively small.
In former times the business of the
‘ simplers” was a lucrative profession.
They traversed the countryside dally
to nrocure the herbs and simples, af
terward walking Into the towns to
sell their wares. The street cries of
the ' simplers” were some of the most
rhythmical of the old trade calls.
Their descendants of to-day make a
meager living by selling various wild
flowers and plants. Thus, cowslips,
primroses, violets and hyacinths, to
name a few. are eagerly sought for by
the wlld-flower sellers. These men
penetrate into the remotest corners of
Devon and Ireland in search of the
beautiful wild maidenhair and royal
ferns Some few still gather various
wayside plants to make up into oint
ments The leaves of the coifs-foot
bacco, and this, too, is prepared and
sold by the flower figatherers.
In the early autumn they look for
ward to the wild harvest of the hedge
rows. when they scour the countryside
for blackberries, sloes, whortleberries
and cranberries, which thus find their
sold by the flower gatherers.
Reed-cutting is a regular mid-winter
employment in the fens and the marshes
and many people earn money by it But
it takes a hardy marshman to endure
the rigors and desolation of this win

cutter moors nls broad flatboat beside
the waving reed beds and mows down
the tall brown grasses all around, af
terward piling them on the reed raft.
As a rule, however, he has to wade into
the water in his great marsh boots
Often he toils for hours knee-deep in the
cold waters of the wide, gray fenland
solitudes Reeds and rushes are used
largely for thatching. making light
fences and basket-weaving
Nowadays seaweeds are used for a
great variety of purposes, and many
people earn a living by collecting the
different kinds that are in demand. Some

Located in the heart of the terri
tory so recently wrested by Greece
from Turkey, the foreign relations
of Athos have been completely inter
woven with the Balka-n troubles, and
Bulgaria and Serbia have contended
with each other for nominal posses

war, the lonely hermits and the silent
monks have not broken their dally
routine of prayers and service, and
this strange womanless theocracy still
persists a picturesque ajad romantic
