' persons complain that their books suffer in transit. The head of a moving company was interviewed on this subject, and he said: “After sev- eral years' experimenting with differ- ent things for the best conveyance of books I have found that the use of small boxes is by far the most advis- able, the smaller the better. “These boxes are easily secured for a few cents from your grocer. . For storage purposes, where the matter is left to us, we move books in long, narrow boxes fitted with handles made espe- cially for this purpose, but this is not necessary, of course, for the ordinary moving. Barrels simply ruin books, and large boxes filled with heavy vol- umes have caused more than one strike among our men. They are the -clum- slest of all things to handle. as well as the heaviest.” 3 Another mode of moyving books is tq tie them up in small bundles with stout wrapping paper and heavy twine, leav- ing enough of the twine to make a loop handle for lifting.—New Idea Woman’s Magazine. The Drummer’s Sermon. “Certainly I will make a few re- marks,” says the cigar salesman who. because of his solemn garb, has been mistaken for a man of the cloth. Ascending the platform, he says: “Men are much like cigars. Often you cannot tell by the wrapper what the filler is. Sometimes a good old stogy is more popular than an im- ported celebrity. Some men -are all right in the showcase on display, but are great disappointments when you get them home. No matter how fine a man is, eventually he meets his match, A two-fer often puts on as many airs as a fifty-center. Some men pever get to the front at all except during campaigns. Some are very fancy outside and are selected for presents. Others have a rough ex- terior, but spread cheer and comfort about them because of what is inside. But all men, as all cigars, good or bad, two-fers, stogies or rich or poor, come to ashes at the last.”’—San Fran- cisco Chronicle. Origin of Commerce, Commerce—the international traffic in goods as distinct from domestic traf- fic—was undoubtedly originated by the wonderful little people known in his- tory as the Phoenicians. The “Yan- kees of antiquity,” the Phoenicians. traded with various peoples long be- fore the other nations had crossed their respective frontiers. All along the shores of the Mediterranean and | up the coast of the Atlantic as far north as the British isles their ships were to be found. leaving their manu- factures and wonderful dyes and bring- ing back to Tyre tin, wool and such other articles as paid them to deal in. Creating the merchant marine so long ago that history gives us no account of it, the Phoenicians and their;colo- nists, the Carthaginians, held it until it passed on to Greece and Rome and later along to the republics of modern Italy.—New York American. A Scotch Anti-golf Law. Scotland. as everybody knows, is the land where golf originated and the land where it most flourishes. But if the law were strictly enforced north of the Tweed it would go bhard with the players of the royal game in *‘bon- nie Scotland.” Golf players there may not know it, but they are liable to a sentence of death for their indulgence in their favorite sport. Technically this is literally a fact. In ancient times, when Scotland always had work for her soldiers to do, all young men were required to perfect themselves in archery. They preferred to play golf, and so serious a rival did the game be- come that it was for a time suppressed and made a capital offense. That curi- ous law never has been repealed and may still be found on the statute book. There seems to be no record, however, of the law ever having been enforced. A Japanese Custom. On the anniversary of a Japanese boy’s birthday his parents present him with a huge paper fish, made of a gay- ly painted bag, with a hoop of proper | dimensions forming the mouth. A string is tied to the hoop, and the fish is hoisted to a pole on the roof of the house. Then the wind rushing through causes the fish to swell out to the proper size and shape and gives it the appearance. of swimming in the air. A Japanese boy “carefully pre- serves .every fish thus given'to him. One can tell by the number of them that swim from the same pole how many birthdays the’ little fellow has had. Cause For Rejoicing. “Here,” said the disgruntled actor, “I'dow’t want this part. If I play it I'll have to die in the first act.” . “Well " replied the manager. “whn; aré you kicking about?
