"Some years ago," says the advertis ing agent of a tobacco firm quoted by the Philadelphia Record, "I wished to introduce among the Chinese a two for five cigar that my people were heavily interested in, and I decided to draw up a. little card extolling this cigar in ChI nese characters. "I sought out Lo Hen Wong in San Francisco, a very intelligent fellow. and got him to write me a few sen tences In praise of my article. I had what he wrote lithographed and dis tributed the cards by thousands in all the Chinatowns of the United States. They were Inscribed with a picture of the cigar, and below were the words: tmoke-this cigar. It is the best on the market, nnd two for five is its price.' "That, at least, is what I thought was the meaning of the Chinese char acters. I found out, some six months later, my mistake. The words Lo Hen Wong hd written and which I had had litbcgraphed were: 'Don't smoke this cigar. It is not good. But the Gong company's cigarettes, for sale in every Chinatown at 3 cents a package. are excellent.' "Lo Hen Wong had got $10 from me for his work, and I don't know how much he got from the Gong company. We distributed many thousands of the cards before we got on to the trick that had been played on us." Old Nanes In London. If London street names are not al ways what they seem, the names of the great parishes usually are. Take Lam beth, for instance. That vast district has retained its name practically unal tered since the days of Edward the Confessor, who granted a charter In which It is styled Lambehith. Some Illiterate scribe, who helped in the mak ing of "Domesday," did, indeed, nake an effort to obliterate its real name by calling it Lanche!, but his efforts were, fortunately. in vain. William Rufus in another charter named it Lambeth, since when it has kept its title unsul lied. In the old days Lambehlth (from bithe. a haven) was the great river port whence agricultural- produce was fer ried across the Thames to the. more populous country opposite. There are still many "hithes" left us, such as Queenhithe and Rotherhithe. and, al though their original functions have gone, there still remains a shadow to remind us of their departed glory. London Chronicle. How to Make Chop Suey. For those who like or who think they would like the famous Chinese dish. chop suey, the following recipe, which any intelligent housewife can follow, was given by W. E. S. Fales, for sever al years vice consul at Amoy: "For four persons two chickens' liv ers, two chickens' gizzards. one pound young, clean pork cut into small pieces, half an ounce of green root ginger and two stalks of celery. Saute this in a frying pan over a hot fire, adding four tablespoonfuls of olive oil, one table spoonful of vinegar, half a cupful of boiling water. one teaspoonful of worcestershire sauce, half a teaspoon ful of salt, black and red pepper to taste and a dash of cloves and cinna mon. 'When nearly done, add a small can of mushrooms, half a cupful of ei ther bean sprouts or French green peas or string beans chopped fine or aspara gus tips. The see-yu sauce which Is eaten with this delectable dish can be procured at any Chinese grocery." Be Prepared. Daniel Webster once told a friend that his great speech in reply to Hayne, which Is the high water mark of modern eloquence, but which at the ime was supposed to have been .deliv red without pr-eparation, had been substantially prepared lonig before. When called upon suddenly to reply to the iery Carolinian's attacks, which so alarmed the New Englanders at the capital, he was entirely at ease and ready for the fray, for, as be said, he bad "only to turn to his notes tucked away in a pigeonhole," and refresh his recollectiot!. "If Haynae," hesaid, "had tried to make a speech to fit my notes, be could not have hit them better. No man s Inspired by the occasion. r never was." KITCHEN HEL~PS.

Also that most of those which drink water by suztion are herbivorous, the carnivorous variety lapping it with the tongue, like the cat, dog, tiger. etc. Sheep 11ave no teeth in the upper jaw, and tortoises and turtles are without altoget ier. Unlike most animals, horses have no eyebrows, and hares are minus eye lids. Consequently the eyes of the lat ter carnot be shut, and a thin mem branous substance covers them when asleep. The eye of the owl is also very peculiar, seeing that it Is immovably fixed in its socket and cannot stir 'n any direction. To compensate :7or this seeming disadvantage it can turn is head almost completely round without moving its body. If you were to keep a frog's mouth open many minutes. it would soon die, as owing to its peculiar construction it can only breathe with the mouth closed. On t'e other hand, fishes are com pelled to keep opening and closing their mouths in order to give their respira tory organs full play. It is also a strange fact that the deer has addi tional breathing places besides the nos trils, as if nature had foreseen his great need of free respiration when forced to flee before the hounds. Snakes usually have their teeth in the head, but one variety in Africa. whose prin cipal food is eggs, is provided with a substitute for them in Its stomach. Did He Understand f A well known Edinburgh professor often became so Interested in his sub ject that when the noon bell rang he seemed quite oblivious of the fact and 3 kept the class for several minutes. Cer tain restless spirits among the stu dents decided to give him a gentle hint, so they bought an alarni clock. London Tit-Bits tells the result. The clock, set to alarm at p:-ecisely 12 o'clock, was placed on the prdfess or's desk. As was anticipated. he be gan his lecture without observ:ng the clock. But when the noon hour struck the alarm went off with a startling crash. Even those not in the secret ppreel ated t he joke. There was a rcun:l of applause. The professor smilingly waited until the alarm and the ap plause censed and then said: "Young getllemen. I thank you for this gift. I had forgotten it wa; my birthday. An alarm clock is something my wife has needed for our servant for a long time. It is a very kind reniem brance on your part." Then he went on with the demonstration which had been interrupted by the alarm, and the students were never quite able to sat Isfy themselves whether the professor understood the joke or not. One Boy's Loyalty. A New York boy was at school In Canada, and it was his first day in class. The geography lesson was call ed. and it was his turn to answer. "Which is the largest city In the world?" asked the teacher. "New York," unhesitatingly camine the answer. "I mean the largest city In the world,'' said the teacher.I As promptly came the reply. "New York." "But." expostulatedl the teacher, "I did not say the largest city in the Unit ed States, bnt the largest city in the world. Yotu surely know which is the largest city in the world." "New York," persisted the boy. "London has a larger population than New York," said the teacher. "If I do not have the correct answer this time, I shall have to punish you.

Hank went into Daly's place, In New York city, one day and sat In a game, winning $2->,000 with very little trouble. Then lhe rose to go. thinking it was time to stop. Daly shook hands with him and asked him what was his hurry. Hank said he would have to go to a Dutch restau-I rant he knew where they always cook ed liver in a way that he particularly liked. "Oh, if that's all." said Daly. "just stay here. We can serve the liver just that way, and you can go right on playing." Dutch Hank, had left some friends Ioutside waiting, but he said he would stay and eat the liver. He sat down and ate and playeil His $25,000 soon went back to Daly' in a turn of luck. Hank went out without a cent. "What kept you so long?' his friends demanded. "Well, you doti't suppose a man can eat $25,000 worth of liver in a minute, do you ?" was the retort of Hank.

A Wicked Insinuation. Miss Sereleaf-Fashion seems to tend toward costumes of the last century. Miss May Budd-How nice! Some people will be able to make over their Moon and Mirror. Some night when the moon Is at Its full and the air is free from haze go outdoors with a hand mirror and hold It so that the moon's image will fall on it. Make the experinent, preferably, when the moon is well up in the heav. ens. Instead of seeing one image, as you will expect, you will see four. One of these images will be very bright, but the other three will be dull. like unburnished silver. They will be in a straight line,' one of the dull images on one side of the bright image and two on the other side of It. Turn the mirror slowly around, and the images will appear to revolve around on a common center. The explanation of this queer little phenomenon may be found In the fact I that there are two surfaces in a mirror, one in front and the other in the back, where the quicksilver is. The brightest of the Images Is from the moon Itself. The others are what are known as secondary images, re flected from the front to the back of the mirror and thence to the eye. e A similar experiment may be made e witIr the plane!:s Venu.

To confuse a witness is generally an easy task, and lawyers know no easier way than to make a witness 'explain the meaning of his words, knowing that very few people can do so without getting exchted. Occasionally a victim j resents this nagging and answers In a spirited and unexpected manner. A lawyer was cross examining a young girl of rather haughty temper. She had testified that she had seen the defend- r ant "shy" a book at the plaintiff, and the lawyer had seized on the word. "Shy-shy a book? What do you 1 mean by that? Will you explain to the court what the word 'shy' means?" 1 The girl leaned over the desk be neath the witness box, picked up a lawbook and threw It at the lawyer's head, who dodged jius& in time.

The following Is given as the originy of the term "Black Maria:" Whene New England was filled with emigrants ~ from the mother country, a negress el named Maria Lee kept a sailors' board- g lg house in Boston.

Frequently the police invoked her aid, and the saying, "Bend for Black Maria," came to mean, "Take him to jaiL" British seamen were often taken to. the lockup by this amazon. and the stories they spread of her achievements led to the name of Black Maria being given to the English prison van.

James Buckhaim. one of our minor poets, put into beautiful verse un Inci dent which occurred during the civil war. He calls it -The Common Chord." The Incident was this: Two great ar mles, one wearing the blue and one the gray, were drawn up in 'prepara tion for battle. As the evening fell the bands began to play. "Dixie" by the southerners was followed by "Yankee Doodle" by the northerners, and "Ma ryland, My Marylazid," drew out "Hail Columbia." - "Beautiful Girl of the South" was answered by "Just Before the Rattle. Mother." -Each side mock ed and jeered the othei-'s music and cheered their own until the stars came out and silence fell. Then, sweet and low, a band far up the line began to play "Home.
