this part was, vocally, a terrible flaa-'
co. Nevertheless, they struggled
until the scene where she climbed
into the box—a real “property,” kind
ly lent for the occasion by Jonee
Smith, president of the local safe de
posit company. The lid snapped
down with a click that was only too
realistic.
A frightened stage manager rushed
out to where the owner of the box
sat and whispered frantically:
“Gimme the key! The lid of your
blooming box has sprung-locked. “
“Is that woman going to sing any
more?”
“Sure; she cornea 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.
Ono of the best stories told about
Sir John French is how, one night
at dinner, some officers were dis-
cusssing rifle shooting. The general
was listening until at length he
chipped in with:
‘Til 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 tho marker. I'll
stake a box of cigars on it.”
The major present accepted the
ofTer, and the next morning the whole
mess was the shooting range to set*
the trial.
Sir John fired. "Mis**!" he an
nounced. He fired again. “Miss!”
he repeated. A third shot. “Miss!”
“Hold on there." protested the
Major. "What are you doing? You
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 Faid. “I was shooting for
those cigars"

Six Thousand Men Alone on the Holy Mountain
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. Eong 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 liberty to
try his hand at deciphering the im
pressions.
bacco, and this, too, is prepared and
sold by the flower flgatherers.
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 marsbman to endure
the rigors and desolation of this win
ter harvesting. The prosperous reed-
cutter moors his 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 fen land
solitudes. Reeds and rushes are us«*<l
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
species are edible, being known as Irish
znosa. dulaa and carrageen. Devon-
r |->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 daily
to procure the herbs and simples, af
terward walking into the towns to
sell their wares. The street cries of
the "simplers" were gome 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 wild-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 colt's-foot

mitages and honeycombed with lone

one end of the single street.
To the synod the monks send
24 delegates, who elect a president
every four years. He, with a privy
council of four, rules the tiny repub
lic and administers its foreign ar-
fairs.
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 Balkan troubles, and
Bulgaria and Serbia have contended
with each other for nominal posses
sion. Yet, through all the strife of
war, the lonely hermits and the silent
monks have not broken their daily
routine of prayers and service, and
this strange womanless theocracy still
persists a picturesque and romantic
relic of the Middle Age*.
O N Mount Athos, called the Holy
Mountain by Greeks and Slavs,
there exists a republic of 6,000
or 7,000 souls, and ev^jy one of the
Inhabitants is a man. Not one woman
has ever been there, and, even
stranger still, not a female of any
kind is permitted within its bounda
ries. It is a republic of males.
For hundreds of years soldiers have
