enlivened the usually prosaic and un

the worthy Mr. Winter, the collector,
found of some assistance:
Here comes Mr. Winter, inspector of

WORKED BOTH WAYS.
A Ruse That Attracted as Well as Di
verted Attention.
One morning Mrs. Wilmington’s at
tention was attracted by a strange
spectacle coming up the street At
that distance she could not quite make
It out. It appeared to be some sort of
animal with a headlight fastened to its
forehead. As it came nearer Jt resolv
ed itself into the shape of a human
being—perhaps some sheik with a red
fez. But in another moment Mrs. Wil
mington recognized Martha Maria So
pbrina Smith, the seventeen-yeai^old
colored girl who came every Monday
for the laundry.
Martha Maria had a flaming red rib
bon four inches wide round her bead.
It was tied In front into a huge bow,
the wings of which stood out four
inches beyond her forehead.
| Mrs. Wilmington was surprised, for,
although , she had noticed some of the
signs of pride of dress in Martha
Maria, the girl had more than the ordi
nary amount of good taste.
“Why, Martha.” exclaimed Mrs. Wil
mington. as the girl came round the
porch, “what in the world are you
wearing that bow for?”
A slow grin widened the girl’s mouth
as she said:
“To attract attention, missy.”
“To attract attention? Why do you
want to attract attention?”
“I don’t, mah’m.”
"Then why are you wearing that
awful bow on your forehead?”
"So folkses will look at mah haid.”
"Why do yon want them to look at
your head?”
“So they won’t look at mail feet—I
got holes in mah shoes." — Youth’s

GOLD LETTERED SIGNS.
None of the Leaf Used In Making Them
Is Ever Wasted.
“On the matter of domestic economy
in the American household, which, it
is asserted, the housewives and the
boys and girls of the family no longer
practice, it is interesting to know that
if economy be a lost art at home it is
pursued with a great deal of care in
many lines of business,” remarked
Henry A. Shields of New York. “I
was impressed a few months ago by
the observation of a sign painter, who
informed me that he could not deliver
a sign I had ordered on a certain day
because in the intervening time he
would have the quarterly clean up day.
I was curious to know what clean up
day meant, and he told me.
“It appears that in the making of
signs a great deal of gold leaf is used,
and necessarily some of it is wasted.
Just as it is when gold letters are
placed on show windows. I had never
noticed that when the painter is at
work putting the leaf on he is careful
to conserve all the leavings. Just so
in the shops. All refuse there is care
fully brushed into a pile and kept In
three months’ time there will be a
great deal of what appears to be rub
bish around a sign painter’s shop, but
the painter knows its value. This rub
bish is cleaned up. stowed in bags and
sent to Philadelphia, where it is
screened and the particles of gold leaf
extracted. My friend informed me
that it is not unusual to get as high as
$00 out of one shipment of rubbish, nil
of which goes to the workmen in the
shop and not to the owner.”—Washing

When Charlemagne Took a Bath.
Like so many of the European warm
springs and bathing places, Baden
Baden was first appreciated by the
Romans. The Emperor Cnracalla in
especial honored it by his patronage
and adorned itin various Roman ways.
With the fall of the empire and the ar
rival together of the barbarians and
Christianity, bathing and, above all,
bathing in warm water, fell into disuse
all over Europe as an enfeebling and
immoral practice, it was only when
Charlemagne, whose name was one to
conjure with, dipped his imperial per
son in the hot springs of Aix-la-Cba
pelle that bathing, after seven cen
turies of disuse, became ngain permis
sible. if not almost desirable. From
that time on. with varying fortunes.
Baden-Baden was a health and pleas
ure resort.—Harrison Rhodes in Har
per’s Magazine.
Looking on tho Bright Side.
Somebody passed a counterfeit dol
lar on old Uncle Mose, which nearly
broke his heart. Weeks later he relat
ed his troubles to his employer. “Ah
done gib up lookin’ fer de man whut
gimme it” he said. “Ah reckon It ain’t
no use tryin’ fer to find him.” “Well,
it looks pretty good for a counterfeit”
remarked the other. “Why don’t you
try to get rid of It?” “yes. sah: yes.

days Ah think mase’f It’s good. Guess
Ah'll jes’, wait fer one of ’em good

JAPAN’S FAT WRESTLERS.
Outside of the Arena Eating Is Their
Most Important Task.
The most envied men in Japan are
the wrestlers, who are fat and bulky.
The first requisite of a Japanese wres
tler is that he be fat. Their stomachs
are their proudest possessions. The fat
ter the man the more money they will
bet on him. even though a bedslat can
i.i w liini dear out of the ring. As a
..i wrestler walks down the street a
■rowd gathers around him. hoping that
he will turn Into some restaurant If
he does they gather in the doorway to
watch him eat They would rather hear
a Japanese wrestler eat that go to a
three ring. A wrestler never disap
points them—he plows through as
tounding quantities of food, turning ev
erything under except a few radish
skins and turnip tops. It’s unbelieve
able how much noise they make when
eating, by smacking their lips, sucking
up their tea with the open exhaust and
picking their teeth with the cutout on.
The champion eaters of them all—
the wrestlers—have long hair, but in
stead of letting it hang down on their
shoulders, as one would naturally ex
pect, they do it up in knots until they
look like a gigantic kewple. Whenever
you see a man in Japan going around
with a large sized walnut on his head,
you may know that he follows the an
cient and honorable profession of
wrestling. Their wrestling consists of
the men standing upright in the ring,
making a rush at each other and try
ing to push each other out. Every time
two wrestlers come together they give
a prodigious grunt. When one of them
finally succeeds in pushing the other
out the crowd bursts forth into mighty
applause, while the victor modestly
pats his stomach to show where the
praise is due.—Ilorner Croy in Leslie's.
COLOSSAL CANOPUS.
If It Were Our Sun It Would Take Over
Eight Hours to Rise.
Of all the twenty first magnitude
stars the inherent glory of Rigel and
Canopus is the greatest. Only two are
farther than they, while the other six
teen are very much nearer.
Estimates give the light of Rigel as
equal to that of 22,000 suns and that of
Canopus us 55,000.
Assuming that their general surface
brilliancy is the same ns that of the
sun and recalling that Rigel has at
least 22,000 and Canopus 55,000 times
the light of the sun. the square root of
these figures gives us Rlgel’s diameter
as 150 and Canopus’ 235 times that of
the sun.
Whereas the sun's diameter, as seen
in the sky, measures one-half a degree,
Canopus', at the same distance, would
measure 117% degrees of the 180 that
reach from horizon to horizon, and its
disk would cover 55,225 times the sky
area occupied by the sun. Canopus
would be nearly eight hours in rising.
With such a globe brought so near,
ail life on the earth would instantly
perish, seas would be converted into
steam, and the very mountains would
melt with fervent heat and flow like
molten iron. Reside such facts our cor
ner of the universe seems diminutive,
dull and insignificant.
These two marvelous orbs have been
found among a group of twenty to
which they belong. Out of the million
million stars known to exist only twen
ty, for aught we know, might yield
similar specimens. Nothing proves that
such worlds are rare.—Scientific Amer
ican.
The Critic Scored.
“I have .just sold that picture for
82.000!'’ said the jubilant artist.
“I congratulate you on your ability,"
replied the critic.
“Thank you. It makes a difference,
doesn't it?”
“Makes a difference? 1 don't under
stand you."
“1 mean that it makes a difference
when a man succeeds. Up to this time
you have never uttered a word of
praise or encouragement to me. Two
or three times you have made slight
ing references to my ability as a paint
er. Now that I have sold a picture
for a good price you begin to see that
I have artistic talent.”
“Oh, I’m not congratulating you on
your artistic talent, but on your ability
as a salesman.”—Chicago News.
