Hannah in_ his book, “Eastern Asia—A History,” says that taxicabs, or, rather, automatic registers attached to horse cabs, were invented about 630 A. D., during the Tang dynastry in China. In his opin- ion the Chinese empire is ‘“the great- est bluff in the world,” and it sug- gests to him a very ancient Chinese fable, which he relates. A monkey was captured by a tiger. He whined that he was thin and his flesh of poor taste, but he knew of a fine fat donkey for the tiger. The ti- ger consented to be led to where the donkey was tied. When the donkey saw them coming he was frightened, but recovered his composure and bawl- ed in his masterful donkey voice: *“‘Monkey, you used to bring me two tigers. Why only one today?” The tiger did a record hustle back to the jungle. China, says Professor Hannah, has shown much of that donkey’s resource- fulness in its history. { Two Women. In ber buok “Woman and Labor” Olive Schreiner gives an amusing illus- tration of the fact that it is not the amount of money a person has which makes him or her a parasite on soci- ety, but th- way it is used. “The wife of an American million- afre,” says Mrs. Schreiner, “was visit- ed by a woman, the daughter and wid- ow of a small professional man. She stated that she was in need of both food and clothing. The milllonaire’s wife gave her a leg of mutton and two | valuable dresses. The woman pro- health, that she had no one to carry them home for her. The American, the descendant of generations of able, laboring, New England Puritan wom- en, tucked the leg of mufton under one arm and the bundle of clothes un- der the other and walked off down the city street toward the woman’s dwelling, followed by the astonished pauper parasite.” The Size of Some Stars. M. Nordmann of the Paris observa- tory believes that he has devised a successful method of determining the diameters of stars by a comparison of their effective temperatures with their parallaxes. In the case of some of the brightest stars he has reached interesting results. Thus he finds that Aldebaran, the bright star in Taurus, is veritably a giant sun, the ratio of its diameter to that of our sun being greater than that of the sun to the planet Jupiter. This means that Alde- baran has a diameter probably not less than 8,000,000 miles, or more than thirty times the distance from the earth to the moon. On the other hand, Sirius, or the dog star, to our eyes the brightest of all the stars, is, accord- ing to M. Nordmann, but little larger | than our sun. i Juggernaut. Juggernaut—or “lord of the world” —was supposed to be ome of the in- carnations of Krishna. The idol is formed of an irregular pyramidal black stone, with two large diamonds to rep- resent eyes. The nose and mouth are painted vermilion. An immense num- ber of pilgrims visit the idol annually, reaching up into the millions. Jugger- naut worship used to be a terrible thing, but it is not what it once was. The state allowance to the temple was suspended by the Indian government in 1851, and the festivals are growing less and less popular year by year. The growing intelligence of the people and the restraining influence of the government are doing their work, and Juggernaut is steadily losing ground.— i New York American. Tea Tremens. “I used to be a tea taster in Han- kow,” said a New York tea dealer, “but I got a bad attack of tea tremens and had to give up the job. Tea tremens is a recognized disease among Chinese tea tasters. These men don't swallow a drop of tea from one week’s end to another. They simply hold the tea in the mouth, get an idea of its aroma and then eject it, but neverthe- less the aroma of the tea causes vio- lent nervous attacks, with sleepless- ness and even hallucinations that are known all over China as tea tremens. I have never had delirium tremens, but if it’s one-half as bad as the tea sort I pity the poor victim.” When a.Soft Drink ls Hard. “You are arrested on a very serious charge, my good man,” began the court, looking at the man severely. “You are accused of getting into a fight and hitting the complainant over the head with a bottle. What have you to say for yourself?” “Your honor, I didn’t mean to hurt him. I never thought that it would bhurt him very much, 'cause the bot-j tle contained nothing but a soft drink,” returned the prisoner. — Milwaukee Free Press. The Timid One. An officer in the army, noted for his bravery, laughed at a timid woman be- cause she was alarmed at the noise of a cannon when a salute was fired. The brave officer subsequently ma:- rled that timid woman, and six months afterward he took off his boots in the hall when ke came in late at night.—London Telegraph. One Virtue. The Lady—Poor tramp! Have you anything in your life to be ‘proud of? The Hobo—Yessum. I never beat no- body out of no laundry bill—Toledo Blade. There would not be so many open mouths if there were not so many épen ears.—Hall. |of Dion Boucicault, Punctuation In Piano Playing. A joke is going the rounds: of the press about the girl whose music teact er wished *o compliment her. but of whom he could only say that she play- ed the rests excellently. This is, how- ever, real praise of a sort, for it is not every young student of music who is careful about playing the rests well Indeed, a great many players seem to forget that the rests are just us much of the piece as is the punctuation in a sentence. Nowadays people do not put in so much punctuation as they used to do. but the pauses in the voice are there just the same and are readi 1y understood by good readers and al ways regarded. The rests in music are like the pauses in reading that ave needed to give expression to the sen tences. If the player slights the rests or extends them too long the whole ef- fect of the musical sentence is spoiled. —Christian Science Monitor. Feet Versus the Pen. In speaking of personal recollections Henry Miller dwells upon his superb skill as a stage director and tells of the following in- c¢ident, which occurred during his first rehearsal under Boucicault: “I went to him direct from Augus- tin Daly's management. Daly coach- | ed his playe™s to cross and recross the stage during the progress of the play, with the idea that this continual mov- ing about of the actors created dra- matic action. During my first rehears- al I made a ‘Daly cross’ as I spoke one of my lines. “‘Why did you do that? Boucicault asked in his quaint, quizzical manner. “I explained that I imagined it would keep the scene moving. ““Thanks, my boy,” said Boucicauilt dryly, ‘but if I cannot interest the au- dience with my pen I don’t think you can with your feet.'"” Bulldogs and Bulls. Bulldog is so called because of his native antipathy to the bull. A thor- oughbred bull pup as young as six months the first time he beholds a bull will run at the head, which is his invariable point of attack, and, seiz- ing the horned beast by the lip, tongue or eye, hang on despite every attempt to detach him. The dog will even suf- fer himself to be killed or dismember- ed rather than relax his hold.—New York Telegram. Protest. “I beg pardon,” said the new ar- rival, “but it seems to me it's exces- sively warm here.” “Eh! What?" snorted Satan. “Evi- dently you forget where you are, This place is meant to be warm.” “*Quite so, but there’s such a thing as overdoing it.”—Catholic Standard and Times. Eager For Information. An American took a friend, an Eng lishman, to a theater. An actor in the farce, about to do the dying act, ex- claimed, “Please, dear wife, don't bury me in Yonkers!” The Englishman turned to his friend and said, “I say. old chap, what are vonkers?’—Everybody’s. Staging a Play. “I can give you the part of a but- ler.” “I couldn't take a small part like that.” “You are evidently not used to so- ciety drama. The butler has his share of the epigrams.”—Pittsburg Post. His Intentions. Mrs. Rasher—Has Mr. Goldcoin. with whom you have been dancing all the evening, at last declared his inten- tions, Mabel? Mabel—Yes, aunt. Mrs. Rusher—I am so glad! And what did he say? Mabel—He declared he would never marry.—vogue. The fear of being found out is often mistaken for the prickings of con- science. OLD-TIME REMEDY DARKENS THE HAIR Gives Color, Lustre to Faded and Gray Hair—Dandruff Quickly Removed. From time immemorial, sage and sulphur have been used for the hair and scalp. Almost everyone knows of the value of such a combination for darkening the hair, for curing dandruff and falling hair, and for | making the hair grow. In olden times the only way to get & hair tonic of this sort was to brew it in the home fireplace, a method which was troublesome and not al- ways satisfactory. Nowadays almost every up-to-date druggist can supply his patrons with a ready-to-use pro- duct, skillfully compounded in per- fectly equipped laboratories. The Wyeth Chemical Company of New York put up an ideal remedy of this sort, called Wyeth’s Sage and Sul- phur Hair Remedy, and authorize druggists to sell it under guarantee that the money will be refunded if it fails to do exactly as represented. If you have dandruff, or if your hair is turning gray or coming out, don’t delay, but get a bottle of this remedy today, and see what a few day’s treatment will do for yom. This preparation is offered to the public at fifty cents a bottle, and M| recommended and sold by all drag- gists. e - THE BEST PROOF Bemidji Citizens Cannot Doubt It. —_—— Doan’s Kidney Pills were used— they cured. The story was told to Bemidji resi- dents. Time has strengthened dence. Has proven the cure permanent. The testimony is home testimony— The proof convincing. It can be investigated by Bemidji residents. Mrs. L. Kane, 615 Fourth St., Be- emidji, Minn., says: “I was afflicted with kidney trouble for a number of years. My system was filled with ur- ic acid that my kidneys failed to re- move and I was often bothered by shortness of breath. A few weeks ago I procured a supply of Doan’s Kidney Pills and I am well pleased with the results I have thus far re- ceived from their use. I intend to continue taking this remedy.” (State- ment given in August, 1907). A PERFECT CURE. Mrs. Kane was interviewed on Oc- tober 6, 1910, and she said: “I am glad to again endorse Doan’s Kidney Pills. They effected a complete and permanent cure in my case.” For sale by all dealers.
