Caught a Monkey Stealing
One day In 1,010 a well-dressed man,
wearing a heavy overcoat, entered a
Jeweler's shop In London And asked
to he shown some valuable rings.
Those shown him, he said, were not
quite good enough, and he naked to be
shown another tray. As the attendant
went to get it he glanced In the mirror
specially set to show the counter when
his hack was turned, and, to his
amazement, saw a long, hnlry arm
8udtl?nly come out of the customer's
pocket, seize a couple of rings, and
vanish.
Assistance was quickly summoned,
and the man and monkey arrested.
His rooms were found filled with all
sorts of valuable objects which had
been stolen by this clever monkey. m
Elephant* at Work ~ ? -
In Burma there are large lumber
in I Us, and elephant4*are used for roll
ing the logs Into position for the saws,
an exchange says. Pushing with their
heads, they run the logs up two In
clined skids to the platform; two ele
phants do the pushing and a third ele
phant nets as hoss. In his trunk tli?
boss carries a few links of anchor
chain, which he uses as a whip li
one elephant falls behind.
When the whistle blows they all
know that It Is time to stop work and
eat. It makes no difference whether
they have a log within a fraction ol
an Inch of the platform; the boss
drops his anchor chain and gets out
of the way, and the pushers step tc
one -side and let the log crash.
Buckakin
Buckskin, from which gloves nr?
made, for the most part comes from
Mexico and Brazil. The skins are
usually smaller than those of sheep,
and seldom perfect, because of the
wounds or thorn scratches. The lat
ter do not weaken the gloves, however,
and, in fact, a visible scratch Is pretty
pood proof that a glove Is genuine
_ buckskin. The leather is dressed In
oil and the color Is obtained with col
ored clay dust. Because of this
method <? f coloring, every buckskin
glove will dust off or crack the first
three or four time* It Is worn. Buck
leather is close flbered, soft nfter wear
ing and warm.

IS quite as Important, In judging a
child's state of development as his at

nurses and nutrition workers must ro

determine whether the child Is doing

Winning Glider Built of
Scrapped Wire and Tin
Koenlgsberg, Germany.? >01(1 broom
sticks, biding wire and straps of tin
salvaged from milk and bully beef
cans were chiefly used In construct
ing the glider In which Ferdinand
Schulz In an experimental flight re
mained In the air eight hours forty
two. minutes and eight seconds and
thereby established u world's record
for heavier than air machines without
motors.
The plane was constructed by Schulz*
during odd moments when he was not
busy teaching a school class here In
east Prussia, which Is his home. The
flight took place at Hossltten.
Schulz appeared last year with a
glider made of hop poles and scrap
? tin, but his machine was rejected by
the technical committee and he wan
not allowed to .compete in the meet on
the theory that It was unsafe.
Schulz says he could have remained
In the air much longer had he made
proper preparations for an extended
flight. He had neglected- to take
along gloves, and was In his shirt
sleeves; toward afternoon lie felt the
cold keenly. Finally, he says, he be
came so hungry that he decided to
land rind as lie did not have a watch
with him, he was most surprised when
Informed he had established a record.

$258.02 for Norfolk ty $10.00 for
Quincy, III., omitting Washington.
D. C., which has only a few old bond
issues outstanding. The per capita
indebtedness In general is below that
of thirteen principal Canadian cities,
in which It ranges from $368.05 in Ed

Doll* a House for Czar
When a young man of twenty-ftmr,
.Peter the Groat of Russia went to
Holland. IIo was working at differ
ent Jobs so as to be better fitted to
heroine ruler of Russia. In Utrecht
be saw a miniature doll's house, fur
nished down to the minutest detail.
In the library wtene paintings two
inches square. Cabinets were filled
> with thumb-high porcelains from Ja
pan. Special carpets were manufac
tured for this liouse, and t lie linen was
woven in Flanders.
Peter the Great took a great fancy
to this tiny palace and offered any
price for one like it. The builder, a
retired merchant, would not accept
money for his handiwork, but offered
to make one as a gift to the young
czar. The llllputlftn mansion, com
pleted after 2f> years of labor, is
now in the royal museum, Amsterdam,

Got Her Clock Back
In "My Garden of Memory," Mrs.
ICate Douglas Wlggjn, the famous au
thoress, tells a<j|t<?ry (if the time when
she was the guest of some friends,
and was kept from sleeping by the
ticking of a clock In her bedroom.
Finally, she had to place the clock
among some blankets In a drawer.
Leaving early next morning, she forgot
to tell the maid about the clock, writes
Puck in London Tit-Bits.
Three months afterward, - In Ger
many she remembered If. She would
have cabled, but It seemed bizarre tr
say, after an Interval of many months:
"Clock burled In guest room between
blankets In bottom drawer. Impossible
to sleep with It! Forgive!"
Instead, she wrote, and by reply
came word from her former hostess
that her new chambermaid had
searched for and recovered the clock
Moslem Fast of Ramazan
In the Moslem world Passion Sun
day corresponds with the first day of
the month long fast of Ramazan. Par
ing Ramadan, western customs, where
they have been adopted, are set ashhv
and the more primitive native manners
revived. The muezzin supplements his
usual announcement of the hour of
prayer with the exhortation: "Give
food, O ye faithful, unto the orphan
and the poor, the wayfarer and the
bondman." and though the wealthy do
ni>t now, as In former days, stand at
their doors and invite the needy to ?
well-laden table, Haul a /.an remains h
