m THE LAND OF FREEDOM Customs of Great United States Differ From Those of Effete European Monarchic*. The Prints Parlaghy, condemning in >.'< IT^rk he recent invasion of her Plaza suite by ilie police, said: "The war I have been treated reminds me of a story. MA foreigner was being shown over New York by a native. The two men visited the downtown district. Here they waded ankle^deep in old newspaper and straw and wrapping paper, and every little while the sidewalk was so crowded with packing cases and boxes, and what not, that they had to climb and leap as if they were up among the Alps. " 'We don't allow anything like this where I come from,' panted the foreigner as he prepared to spring across a chasm between a mound of cotton bales and a 6tack of flour barrels. "The native answered proudly, as he leaped from the top of a piano case and broke his ankle! "'I know you don't, but this, by jingo, is a free country.'" NO PHYSICAL NEED FOR REST Violinist Was There for Work, No Matter What the Intention of the Composer. All college men know ITarry Bennett, the orchestra leader. He can swing his men into an accompaniment for any college song that ever was written, on a moment's notice. In the early days of his career he took charge of the music of a company of which the once famous /Tatty" Stewart was the head, engaging his orchestra in the towns where he showed. In North Adams the musicians were employes of the foundry, amateurs, but fully equal to almost anything. For Stewart's entrance there were blasts from the bugle, with the rest of the orchestra silent. At the rehearsal the bugle sounded, but the first violin from the foundry kept right on, notwithstanding. "Here, you," said Bennett, "you've got four bars of rest there." "Thafs all right, mister," said the violinist, sawing away, "I ain't tired." ANCIENT ISKAELITfc UAHIML An Austrian theological professor, Dr. Ernest Sellin, engaged in the excavation work in Palestine, reports that he has discovered in the hill of Balanta, in Samaria, the foundations of the ancient Israelite capital, Shechem. Although the professor was only able to work less than three weeks, he succeeded in uncovering some very interesting objects connected "with the various periods of the city's history?Canaanite, late Israelite and Hellenic. Amongst them are arrows, rings, pitchers and jugs, and other household utensils, chiefly made of silver or bronze. THE ONLY WAY.

A fluffy little screech owl hn3 ' taken up its abode anions the gnarled branches of an old apple tree. On recent rainy days the owl hits attracted fair-sized audiences of passers-by bv crawling out from the hollow where it has its nest and ; spending hours in solemn eontempla tion of the curious ones below. Seated on a branch, the buff-colored owl i stares downward with unwinking eves, and when someone walks around the tree the owl slowly turns its head to follow even' movement. A little boy was walking around the tree when I happened along. The little chap walked around twice, and then suddenly stopped and started around in the opposite direction, soberly, almost anxiously, watching the little owl turn its head. "I guess I'd better walk back," explained the bov, "because if I don't the little owl will twist its head right off." THEN HE WENT Mr. Bore?I never flatter. Miss Caustique?But you said one nice thing earlier in the evening. i Mr. Bore?What was that? Miss Caustique?That you dicu.'t have long to stay. APPEARANCE OF MARS. Should the nlanet Mars alwnvs an pear round to the observer, or should it, like Venus, show only part of its circular disk? The planet presents a slightly "gibbous" appearance when it is in quadrature or nearly so, i. e., when it is about six hours away from the sun. As an extreme at such times* the loss of light would result in an illumination about equivalent to that of the moon when three days away from full. When the planet is in opposition, it is of course fully illuminated, and at other times its phase, as given above, is not very noticeable. OF THE SAME OPINION. "Why, some of these men in office get big salaries and do absolutely nothing," said the woman who want CU UlC V uu% "Well, I believe women should be paid the same salaries as men for the same work," replied her sister with the orange hair. THE CONSOLATION. "There is one consolation in being homely," she said. "And what's that?" "Nearly all the other women are willing to concede that I am sensible and will make a good wife for 6ome man." A BLACKSTONE.
