"For Ways That Are Dark," Etc.
"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.

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."

Strange Facts About Animals.
Have you ever noticed that all ani
mals which chew the cud are cloven
footed? 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.

Canada, and it was his first day in

"Which is the largest city In the

"New York," unhesitatingly camine
the answer.
"I mean the largest city In the

As promptly came the reply. "New

"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. Come
now," coaxingly, "tell me the nme of
the largest city in the world."

Ate $25,000 Worth of Liver,
Among the many poker stories afloat
a good one is told concerning Dutch
Hank, a well known player of Roch
ester, N. Y. 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.

when the moon is well up in the heav.

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

Making It Clear.
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 Black Mar'ia.
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. She was a womn- b
an of great strength and helped the au- 1:
thorities to keep the peace. 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.

The Common Chord.
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. Sweet
Home." Another and another joined
until all'the bands ni -both sides were
playing in unison, and. stronger and
more beautiful still, the men on both
sides were singing the words. The
common chord had been struck, and
the thousands of combatants were at
one with~ the sentiment. "There's no
placejlke home."
The Example of PagantnuL
A story is told of how PaganinI once
came into the concert room. took the
violin and tduched the strings. First
one strjng broke. . and. a smile went
round the Toom; then another string
broke, and there was more audible ex
,pression of mockery. When a third
string broke. many people laughed out
right at his disconifltuie. But Paga
ninl stood forth with his violin- as
though nothing had happened and
played on the one string, and the peo
.ple ceased to smile. but listened spell
bonnd. Some of those who had derid
ed him began to weep, and somf6 eveni
prayed.
Many a man bad .fallen helplesty
the wayside- when -some.great uuta
tropheturnied the crreit of 'bis-ife
aside. The brave man pushes forward
with one remaining falent and plucks
victory from defeat.
A Desperate- Chance.
A. Russian exile relates how he once
saved himself by a desperate artifice.
A police official searched his house for
compromising papers. There was in
t his possession a document the (Yicoy
ery of which'meant serious danger to
himself and his friends.
Wherever he might hide it, it seemed
certain that it would be found. Ed
