Some yearz aL.z -e found in n'scra . drawer of a pearl embroidered work box three loc'..s of hair fasteued to small enamel heiart shap-d mounts. with silver eyelets. Two were inscrib ed "11. C. obt. 1eth April. 1604."' --1. C. 16G4." The third had no inscription at all. In this bKox I now keep an en graving of a portrait of Eliibeth. queen of Bobemia. which plainly shows the curl of hair in tier left ear. attach ed to a pearl earring. The painting. by Gerard Honthorst. was engraved by G. Vertue. When ! showed there hair earrings to a gentleman of some considerable learning he informed me that an uncle of Anne, wife of King James .. was afflicted by a malady, still prevalent in Poland and some parts of iRussia. which coisists of a growth of hair and nesh pendent from the ear. on which It is dangerous to operate owing to the profuse hemorrhage which ensues. He added that in consequence of this roy al infirmity a fashion arose in the six teenth and seventeenth centuries of wearing locks of hair pendent from the left ears. I believe there is a por trait of a Stuart lady still at Ham House so adorned.-London Notes and Queries. The Pilot Fish. A little fish about which many inter esting fancies cluster is the pilot fish. Aelian tells us that pilot fishes were supposed to be kindly disposed toward sailors and therefore liked to approach ships. which they continued with and guided until they reached land. They werc deemed sancred to Neptune. the god of the ocean. who protected them from designed injury: consequently a ma' who had ventured to eat one soon afterward lost his son by drowning. Apollo was said to have changed a fisherman named Pompilus. who had crossed him In his loves, into a ,ilot fish and condemned him for all eterni ty V% the task of gratuitous pilotage. He is also said to be a pilot of sharks and Is said to warn the latter away from baited hooks ad other dangers and lead them to food. There really does exist a str.nge bond of friendship between the huge shark and this little member of the mackerel family. which are often to be seen traveling together. although the pilot fish's supposed care to warn Its companion of impending danger and to provide food for it Is a fallacy pure and simple. An English Election Trick. Corruption at elections in England took many curious forms in olden cl4ys. but there have been few more Ingen lous plans for securing tbe election of the desired cnndidate than that prae ticed at Seaford in 1700. It was doubt ful which way the polling would go unless a receiving officer could be found willing to pass some twenty-six persons who still wanted seventeen! days to -complete the six months' resi dence required by law. Accordingly It was arranged that the candidate should insist on all the six oaths de manded by statute being administered to each voter individually. and this. together with the time spent in deal ng with every frivolous objection rais ed by consel. made It Impossible to I poll more than four votes a day. so that the twenty-six where duly quail fled by the time their turn came to The Tramp's Reason. The late Joseph Dorsey of San Jose.! the famous detective whose best feat was the capture of Canon Bernard after a chase from Alaska to Cape Horn, used to Impute his success to his knowledge of men. "A detective.- he would say. -should know the habits of every class. Then no disge-ise can deceive him. All men. even the most unmethodical, have their habits. Even the tramp has his.j "'Tou great lVig lazy loafer.' 1 said to a tramp one December day. 'you ought to be in jail!' "'Yes, Algie,' the tramp replied as he pretended to fix a tr-ocle In his! eye. TYes: I know it's the correct; thing for our set at this season. Algie; but, deuce take It, it's such a mild winter, don't you know.' "-Ennens City Star._ ___ An indirect Hit. A patient who was suffering from a scalp wound was recently admitted to a hospital. "How did this happen?" asked the resident surgeon. "The wife hit me on the head with a stone," was the answer. "It's the first time 1 ever heard of a woman hitting anything she aimed at," the doctor observed jokingly. "Oh, she didn't aim ai at me! She was throwing the stone at our neigh bo's fowls, and I was standing behind her!"-London Graphie. What a Change! "He used to kiss me every time we passed through a tunnel before our marriage," said the little woman, with sad reflections. "And does he do so now?" asked the bosom friend. "No; he takes a drink."-Booklynl Fagle. _______ Reduced. "Old Juggleworth died at an ad anced age, didn't he?" "On the contrary, he died at a great ly reduced age.

The so called "code of Hlammurabi" was brought to light during the exca vations oa the site of Babylon and is looked upon as being one of the very oldest if not the oldest of all known records. It is belie' ed to be at least 1000 years older than the Mosaic law. King Hanmmurabi reigned over Baby !on about the year Z300 B. C.. and the laws he Inscribed on the clay tablets for the moest part no doubt long antc date that tiene. The Mosaic law Is supposed to have been given to Israel about 1200 B. C.. and it would appear, therefore, that the Hammurabi code has the much greater antiquity.-New York A meicn.n A Fish That Gives Paint. Teweli ;-- bro-wr tigmenlt ca"il ed sepia is obtained fron : tel :rned o,-tolaus found principally in the Med iterraneaa and more esieci:tlly at the head of the .1driatic sea. where it is cau;ht by the n:itives for food. The sejia is contained in a i:z;z and is really the black fluid of which we have all read as bein;: discharged by the creature to cover its escape. Some naturalists say that the fluid Is brown Ish. which beTones more credible when we know that this is the source of sepia. The pignent is really a powder which disselves in water. Its stren:th may be estimated by the fact that it will color 1.000 times its own bulk. When the octopus has been killed the sack or bag Is removed and dried to I prevent putrefaction. The sepia is treated with ammonia or caustic soda. washed and dried. It Is one of the most durable of paints. except when fully exposed to the fierce rays of the sun, and an even surface can be ob tained with It more easily than with most paints. Sepia has been obtained from a fossil cuttlefish thousands of years old and found to be quite good for paint. The Change From Black to Red. See that little woman who just went oat' remarked a Fourr.i avenue milliner to a customer. "Neticed that red hat, did you? Well, as a milliner and a person whose business it is to study the different characteristics of women I have watched her for twol years. it has been a kind of study of the -evolutions of a widow.' "Two years ago she came to me, re cently bereaved. and bad we make her a hat ot deepest black. She was bro ken hearted and declared she wouid never again take an interest in the pretty things that women like to wear. A year ago she came again. 'Don't you think I might have the least bit of white In my new hat? she asked. "'Yes.' I said; '1 think you might.' and the hat was made. Three months later she came for another hat, and she stood for a little touch of laven der. Next she had a big white plume. and last week I made her that red hat. It just shows what time will do in lifting up a heart bowed down." Louisville Times. The Releaser. If he hadn't been a dreadful bore and the hour wasn't so late it is quite possible the lovely girl would have refrained from the exer:-ise of a stra tegic scheme, says the Cleveland Plain Dealer. "Hark!" she whispered as he paused in the midst of a long winded de scription of his camping outfit. -What !s ity' he whispered In re turn. She smiled reassuringly. "It's only papa. He must be oiling the releaser." "And what is the releaser?" "It's one of papa's Ingenious schemes. Every night, at exactly 11 o'clock, he pulls up a brass chain that releases our brindle bull pup from his annex adjoining the kitchen; that's' all." And she laughed merrily. The caller glanced at the clock on the mantel. It Indicated 10:57. "I find I must go." he said in aj slightly hurried manner. "And good nIght." ______ Punishment For Perjury. Perjury is a crime more severely punished in Germany than In any oth-' er country In the world. Even an ap parently trivial misstatement under oath carries a sentence of ten years in prison. Excepting murder, there are. few crimes that carry as heavy a pen alty as perjury. The German theory is that the entire system of jurispru dece rests on the respect for an oath administered under the forms of law and that this must be strictly guardled in order to secure the punishment of other crimes and insure justice in civil cases. Germany stands at one extreme and the United States at the other. Fewer people are punished in the United States for false swearing in' the witness box than in any other country.-London Telegraph. Hard Hit. Lord Fitzfoodle, casting himself onI ls knees before Araminta, gave ut-. tence to the following: "Oh. that I could snatch a pine from some prime vai forest: I would sharpen the end with my penknife. dip it In the molten crater of 1'esuvlus and write upon the: azure wall of heaven in letters of llv ing fire. 'Aranmlta. I love thee!'" Theory and Practice. "Dinglebat has original ideas about family government. He says every home should be a lIttle republic, where universal toleration prevails and every, one has a voice In the government." "Yes; his family is managed on that plan. But he and Mirs. Dinglebat have' the same old wrangle every day as to who shall he president." The Foolish Man. "I see." said the landlady. "that a man in Ohio has got himself into trou ble by marrying two women." "Huh" growled the bachelor board er. "Just as though one wife couldn't make trouble enough!"-Chicago News. Calmness.

W. E. Brown & Tons of Pmns. Nothing better shows the bigness of little things than the muanufacture of pins. In England there are made each week between fifteen and sixteen tons of the small necessaries, the materials1 being iron, steel and brass. The year ly production would amount to about 10 tons. The number of pins includ ed In this great weight would make any ordinary figures seem insignilicatt -would. in fact, defy realization or comprehension. Germany also makes great quantities of pins, her produc tion totaling about 144 tons a year. The United States makes great quan tities of pins and Imports many from England. Most of the latter country's output is manufactured in Birming ham by two firms. one of which has been in existence nearly a century and the other over a century.-Philadelphia Nrth A merican. Getting Away From Land. The quesiomn has he-n ;iSked. l it possible to sail l.000o Ki!-s (reti n ::d ? This can be done at ,everal points.

So. too. sazi ing fron the southern point of Kam chatka svutheastwa rd -ships reach a joint equally distant froow land of any kind. the uearest to the norzh being the .\leutian islands and to the south the outlying members of the Sandwich group. In the southern Indian ocean it is possible to sail 1,000 miles out from the southern points of Australia and New Zealand and still be as far from any other land. and the same may be done In a westerly direction from Cape Horn. Indeed, from this point a much longer distance might be reached. for the southern Pacific between the Horn and New Zealand covers a space of SO degrees of longitude and 40 of lat! tude of absoauteiy unbroken sea, mak ing Its central point over 1.200 miles from anywhere. How Every Man Should Vote. -Anybody who doesn't vote my way is a darned fool!" exclaimed a little man on an outbound trolley car. "What's thatr asked a big man. turning around in his seat and looking back. "Any body who doesn't vote my way is a darned fool!" repeated the little man "Did I understand you aright?" asked the big man. rising from his seat and coming back to the rear of the car where the little man was sent ed. The little man looked the big man over. but he was game and said once more. -Anybody who doesn't vote my way is a darned fool!" "Hold on a minute said the big man. who seemed on the point of starting something. "Fir: tell me which way you are going to vote." A foxy gleam shot into the eyes of the little man. and be piped as daunt lessly as ever. -I'm going to vote any way I darned please."-Birmingham Age-Herald. Trapping Baboons. Hagenbeck in his book says that bab oons are caught in traps made much like the huts of savages. Food Is put into the huts. And once the baboons go Inside a trapdoor closes behind them. Outside baboons make a great to do and urge the prisoners to escape. When the trappers come the captured baboons are terror stricken and try to force their heads through the walls of the huts. One baboon was caught three times in the same trap. and sev eral when turned loose got back into, the same trap a second time. When the baboons are carried away all their omrades thereabout climb into trees and scream out to the prisoners. who answer in sad, mournful voices. On one occasion some big Arabian bab oons were trapped. when 2.000 or 3.000 baboons hurid themselves upon the trappers. who had hard work to save themselves with firearms and clubs. As the trappers were forced back the victorious baboons tore up the trap nd turned loose the captured baboons. Ink at $100 a Pound. "The best India ink-It should really be called China Ink-never leaves Chi a." said a missionar;. "It costs $100 a pound. and the scribes use it In writ ing the correspondence of the royal fmily and the mandarins. India ink~ Is made of the oil of r-aisonous seeds fthe sesamum or coiza tree. Varnish and pork fat are added to the oil, and then, by means of combustion, all Is hanged to lampblack. The lampblack paste mixed with glue Is beaten for days on an anvil, and musk is gradu ally mixed in to giv-e perfume and the purest gold leaf to give a rich luster. Finally the ink Is dried in molds for about a month. What makes the best ndia Ink so costly Is its purity and. above all, the long time given to Its combustion and subsequent beating. f you saw its beauty you wouldn't think it dear at $100 a pound."-Phila ephia Bulletin.

A tramp went into a farmhouse re ently, and, seeing no one but an old woman, he said in very fierce tones.

Waco and Arkansas. Every town has a right to pronounce Its name in its own way, but 'rexans never seemed to get together on the pronunciation of the name "Waco." Years ago Texas was represented by two senators, one of whom called the town "Way-ke." whereas the other In sisted It was "Wack-ko." The reading clerks had a merry time. If the word were read one way the opposing sena tor would make a complaint, and vice versa. It recalls the time when Arkansas was represented in the senate by Gar land and Walker. One insisted that the state should be called "Ar.:ansas." just as it is spelled. The other always insisted upon -Arkansaw." John J. Ingalls. who was presiding officer of the senate in those days. had the mat ter down to such a nicety that he would recognize the one as "the sena tor from 'Arkansas'" and the other as "the senator from 'Arkansaw: " be ing very careful to'give each senator his favorite pronunclation.-Washing ton Cor.

The most eccentric action of an ec centric man was Lord Southey's cool arrangement for suicide by means of a guillotine. He had a magnificent one erected In the drawing room or his house in the Rue du Luxembourg at Paris. The machine was of ebony An laid with gold and silver, the frame work crned with artistic skill: the knife, sharp as a razor, was of polisbe and ornamented steel. Preparing t& death, his lordship bad his hair cut close, and, clothed In a robe of white silk, he kneeled upon the platform un der the knife before a mirror and pressed the spring which should re lease the knife. But the spring failed to work, and the would be suicide de cided to give the guillotine to a mn seum instead of making a second at tempt to end his life. It is said that e made an annual pilgrimage to see the guillotine until the end of his life. How the Chinese Preserve Grapes. To preserve grapes the Chinese cat a circular piece out of a ripe pumpkin or gourd, making an aperture large enough to admit the hand. The In terior Is cleaned out, the grapes placed inside and the cover replaced and pressed in firmly. The pumpkins are then put in a cool place, and the grapes retain their freshness for a long time. Careful selection of the pump kin is requisite, the common field pumpkin, however, being well adapted for une purpose. Quite Willing to Migrate.
