Coming Soon “‘Auld Lang Syne’” Cost The' development. of the ailii/aann- facture in ‘England:began: some: time in the seventeenth century, but was greatly extended through the enter- prise of John Lombe of Derby, who in ‘1715 went to Leghorn;. Italy, to learn: the secret of the Leghorn siik manufactures, a most difficult and dan- gerous adventure. Visitors. were .al- lowed to pass through the factories dnd see the machines in motion, but could learn nothing of their construc- ton and operation. Finally, through the good offices of a priest, Lombe se- cured ‘employment as a workman, glept in the mill, worked at a spinning machine and -by night made measure- ments and plans.. He worked at the mill until'an English ship was sent on purpose to take him away. He had scarcely sailed when an armed brig was sent after him, and he barely es- caped safely to England. It is said that he died at the age of twenty- nine, poisoned by the emissaries of his Leghorn employers, but the silk manu- facture was securely established, pe- lcame a great industry in England and has since been established all over the *| world.—National Magazine. Work of the Heart. ‘The average human heart is a sue- tion and force pump of remarkable ca- pecity and durability. Each of its two chambers contains on an averge seven- ty-five cubic centimeters, or 4,575 cubic inches. The total contents of 150 cen- timeters, or 9.15 cubic inches, being discharged eighty-one times a minute, corresponding to a delivery of 12,150 cubic centimeters (12.15 liters), or 741 cubic inches per minute, 729 liters, or 2573 cubic feet per hour. Bxpressed in the United States galloms, the aver- age human heart pumps through it each hour 192.6 gallons; each day. 4,622.4 gallons; each year, 1,687,176 gallons, and in the adult life time of a man living to the age sung by the psalmist, 84,358,800 gallons. The pres- sure against which this fluid is pumped is equivalent to that of a water col- umn two and a half meters, or, say, 8 feet 242 fnches high: otherwise ex- pressed, about 0.242 atmosphere or 8.55 pounds avoirdupols per square inch.— Schientific American. Scallops. How many people know anything about the toothsome scallop? The lit- tle round bits of white meat we see in the market are really the hearts of bi- valves. In other words. the only edi- ble part of a scallop is the muscular tissue that controls the opening and shutting of §ts shell. The name scallop is derived from the fluted shape of the creature’s shell. These are very thin. In fact, the weight of the scallop is so near that of an equal volume of water that it floats by the very slight propul- sive force glven by the opening and closing of the shell; hence scallops have the reputation of a shellfish that swims. They are caught in scoop nets as they float along with the tide— New York Tribune. The Fighting Turk. The Turk is a great fighting man, perhaps the best in the world—that 1is, Difficult Feats is' Remarkable. Dexterous and daring feats of Jugg- ling and Balancing are the star at- traction at the Brinkman Theater, the. Home of Refined Vaudeville. Three Japs have all the wonderful precesion of their countrymen in juggling. Performance after holding the audience spellboupd with the feats that they accomplish and they never make a miss. The juggling and balancing both of the numerous objects used and also the body balancing makes a trip to the Brinkman Theater well worth while. This act alone would prove a feature on any vaudeville circuit, and it is included in the Brinkman Theater program as only one of the list of fine attractions that Manager Brink- man has served his patrons. Navajo Blankets. Much unadulterated nonsense has been written concerning the symbolism of Navajo Indian blankets and the poetry, legend. tradition and history woven by the squaw into its fabric. It is true that some designs have a symbolic meaning, but Hopi, Zuni and Apache symbols are used quite as free- ly as those peculiar to the Navajos. The Navajo squaw is one of the least imaginative and least poetical of hu- man beings, and it Is quite safe to say that even when sympolic designs are employed in blanket weaving it is without the remotest reference to their true significance.—Argonaut.

The Turkish peasantry, from whom the army is recruited, have to work hard for a bare living, and there is no room among them for weaklings. Therefore the Turkish soldier is capa- ble of tremendous feats.of endurance and can live on nothing or next door to it. Then he is accustomed to fight- ing almost from babyhood. On the frontlers and in the country districts of Turkey there is always trouble going on. Death in battle has no terrors for him, for by his religion it assures him of paradise.—~lLondon Answers. Question For Question. “I shall discharge our butler,” said Mr. Cumrox. “What's the trouble?” “He doesn’t show me proper defer- ence..

Probably 80 per cent of the stocks bought and sold for speculation on the Stock Exchange are bought and sold not upon conviction, but on example. A majority of the time it is true that the strongest reason people have for buying is that others buy, or vice versa. —New York Post. The Thrifty French.

For many years there served in.the United States.senate a man of brilliant mind and many fine qualities, but who was forever estranging many with whom he desired to be friendly by reason of his incurably sarcastic man- ner both of speech and action. Once an intimate friend wrote the senator urging the appoiotment of another friend to a minor position in the gov- ernment. The senator returned a most sarcastic reply, declining to recom- mend the appointment. It is said that he never forgot the merited rebuke be received from the friend who had sug- gested the appointment: My Dear Senator—I. think it would be well for you to reserve your sarcasm for the rapidly increasing number of your en- emfes, instead of offering it to the de- creasing number of your friends, of whom I am one. Tragic Family History. The following inscriptions are to be geen on a tombstone at Debreczin, Hungary: *“Joseph Moritz, murdered at sisty- two by bis son. Isabelle Moritz, wife of. above. poisoned at forty-seven by her daughter. Elizabeth Moritz com- mitted suicide at twenty after poison- Ing her mother. Joseph Moritzs, Jr., marderer of his father, died in prison it twenty-seven.”—London :Standard. It is the enemy whom we do not sus- pect who is the most dangerous.— Rojas. - Preaching at St. Paul's; Harringay, Just outside London, one Sunday.: night, Dr. Ingram, the bishop of London, told two stories which attracted widespread attention. He said that in the congre- gation at a .confirmation service: he once conducted in Westminster ahbey was a girl of thirteen. gervice ghe said lo ber mother, “Do you see them. mother?’ *'See what?" esked the mother, and the child re- Pplied, “Angels on each side of the bish- op.” “It is said,” commented the bish- op, “that the pure in heart shall see God, and is it pot therefore possible that a child perfectly pure could see things that an adult could not see?” The bishop also told a story of five girls whose father, feeling ill, went to He down. The youngest child was sent to bed, but ran from ber room, calling “Come out. There are two angels Later the child called out again, “The Angels are walking down the staircase, and fa- ther’s walking between them!” All.five girls, said the bishop, saw the same thing, and, going into their father’s room, they found him dead. Odd Schools. “Freak” schools were the subject re- cently of an article in a provincial pa- per, and we are confident that few of our readers will have heard of some of these very odd educational establish- ments. fore qualifying for a post as sexton one must pass an examination in a school of gravediggers, while in Parls there is 'a school for judges, where make belleve trials are carried out in detall before lawyers of repute.
