Why Their Clothes Didn't Fit, |
The late Admiral Robley D. Evans
during his visit to Japan was received
by Mutsubito and his empress at a
court ceremony. In speaking of the!
Japanese court he said: |
“Hand kissing was not the thing. In-
stead, | received a handshake from a
very shapely and beautiful band. I
found the empress a woman of great
refinement and perfect ease of man- |
ner, so delicate in appearance and so
small in stature as to remind you of |
some fine piece of Dresden china. She
was attired In a Paris gown of bello- |
trope brocade, the bad fit of which I
accounted for just as I accounted for |
the baggy trousers of the emperor. |
After I had been a year in Japan I
was satisfied it was owing to the fact
that a tallor would not permit himself |
to touch the persons of thelr majesties, |
but just looked at them and guessed
what the measurements stould be.” |
Long Lived Spania
Though the average age of niards |
fs among the lowest in Europe—thirty- |
two years and four months, against |
fifty years in Sweden and Norway— |
yet Spain remains the land of bundred- |
year-old people
South of the Sierrn Morena there’
are fifty to sixty a hundred years old
in every million inhabitants. In Ma-.
laga and other parts of Andalusia 100
hundred-year-olds are reckoned In
every million inhabitants. And when
a Spaniard once attains that age he
asually bangs on to life for ten to fif-
teen years longer.
One of the famous long lived men of
Spain was Dr. Manuel Barca, who lies
buried in the Church of San Sebastian
at Seville. having 121 years to his
credit, according to the church rec-:
ord. He left 300 descendants.— Boston
The Palmetto State.
The origin of the state arms of South
Carolina is thus given in the histories:
“On June 28. 1776, a force of lexx than
100 Caroliniuns, under command of
Moultrie, protected by the rude forti-
fication of Sullivan's island. in Charles.

palmetto, repulsed the attack of a Brit.
ish fleet under command of Sir Peter
Parker. and when the state of South |
Carolina was organized the state seal.
which was first used in May, 1777, was |
made to commemorate this victory. A
palm tree growing erect on the sea-
shore represents the strength of the |
fort, while at its base an oak tree, torn
from the ground and deprived of its
branches, recalls the British tleet built
of oak timber, overcome by the pal
metto.”
Crocodile In a Tree.
An African bunter once found a
large crocodile hanging in the fork of
a tree about ten feet from the ground. | i
po the place was fully balf a mile:
from any water it was difficult to ac-!
count for the crocodile’'s strange posi: |

A DARING BASE RUNNER.
One of the Desperate and Winning |
Chances Mike Kelly Took,
Hugh 8. Fullerton, the baseball writ-
er for the American Magazine, tells
a story about Mike Kelly, the fa-
mous player of Boston and Chicago, &
generation ago, as follows: ©
“] believe the most desperate and
brilliant bit of base running | ever
witnessed and the climax of taking
chances was by Kelly. The score was
a tie late in the game. Runners were
on second snd third bases, one out,
and the opposing infield was drawn
in to cut off the runner from the plate.
“Kelly was the man on second. As
the ball was pitched Kelly was on &
run at top speed toward third. The
ball was hit sharply to the shortstop.
who scooped it perfectly and threw
home. The runner going from third
slid desperately toward the plate.
where the catcher was waiting. Kelly
' had rounded third base at top speed
and was coming up the path behind
the other runner, screeching ‘Look out
for Kel! at the top of his voice.
“As the runner from third slid be
hind the plate, trying to get past the
. catcher, he was tagged out, but before
the catcher could touch him and dive
back to protect the plate Kelly slid in
front of the rubber, dodged under the
catcher and scored the winning run.”
Stormy Cape Horn.
The waters of Cape Horn have never
been unvisited by storms for more
than a week or two at a stretch within
the memory of man. Standing on the
outposts of the world, Cape Horn is
the meeting place of ocean currents of
very different temperature, from the
icy cold waters of the Antarctic drift
to the warmth of the Brazilian and
Peruvian return currents. The pre
vailing winds are from the northwest
and west, and these, coming from the
warm regions of the Pacific, condense
into fogs, which the sailors call “Cape
Horn blankets” and which are the
forerunners of storms. The extremely
low level to which the glaciers of
Tierra del Fuego descend, the per
' petual congelation of the subsoil, the
meeting of conflicting winds at very
different temperatures, are all direct
or indirect causes combining to make
this the most constantly stormy re-
glon of the werld.

FATHER GREAT PIPE.
| It Would Take 150,000 Sheets to Maks Eccentric Will of the Famous Dutch
Smoker, Von Klaes.
In “Holland of the Dutch” Demet
rius Boulger tells the stor— >f the fa
mous Van Klaes of Rotterdam, whe
was known as “Father Great Pipe.”
Van Klaes smoked about half a
pound of tobacco a day and to save
himself trouble used an enormous pipe,
hence his nickname. He built a man.
sion in Rotterdam, with a fortune
amassed in the Indies. and turned it
into a museum for pipes and antique
instruments used by primitive man for
burning hemp or weeds long before the
discovery of tobacco. No man who
visited his curios went away without
a gift of choke cigars. He lived to be
ninety-eight and made, while smok-
ing, an eccentric will, which began by
inviting all smokers in the country to
his funeral.
Each person who attended was to
receive ten pounds of tobacco and two
| pipes bearing the name of the donor.
his arms and the date of his death,
but he imposed the condition that they
should smoke without interruption dur-
ing the funeral ceremony. Finally his
coffin was to be lined with the wood
of his old cigar boxes, and beside
him were to be placed his favorite
pipe. a supply of tobacco and a box
of matches, for, as the will senten-
tiously sets forth, no one knows what
may happen.
WHISTLER'S ODD WAYS.
A Portrait That Was Slashed as Soon
as It Was Painted.
Lord Redesdale once gave a descrip-
tion of Whistler's methods tc a meet-
ing in London in support of a memo-
rial to the great artist. The eccentric
master was painting, he said, a por-
trait of a lady.
Whistler took up his position at one
end of the room with his sitter and
the canvas at the other end. For a
long time he stood looking at his
model. holding in his hand a huge
brush full of color, such a brush as a
man would use to whitewash a house.
Then he rushed forward and smashed
the brush full of color into the canvas.
Then he ran back, and forty or fifty
times he repeated this. At the end of
that time there stood out on the can.
vas a space which exactly indicated
the figure, the form and the expression
of the sitter.
There was a pathetic story attached
to the picture. The bailiffs were in the
house when the picture was finished.
That was quite a common occurrence,
and Whistler only laughed, but he
went around his studio with a krife
and deliberately destroyed all his can-
vases, including this picture. which
was to have been his (Lord Redes-
dale's).—Dundee Advertiser.
Banquets In Elizabeth’s Time.
In Queen Elizabeth's time the first The
course of a banquet is given as wheat-
en flummery. stewed broth or spinach
broth. or smallage, gruel or hotch pot.
The second consisted of fish, among
which are lampreys. poor John, stock-
fish and sturgeon, with side dishes of
porpoise. The third course comprised
quaker puddings. black puddings. bag
puddings. white puddings and marrow
puddings. Then came veal. beef, ca-
pons, humble ple, mutton. marrow pas-
ties. Scotch collops. wild fowl and
game. In the fifth course all kinds of
sweets. creams In all their varieties,
custards, cheese cakes, jellies, warden
ples. suckets, sillibubs and so on, to
be followed perhaps by white cheese
and tansy cake: for drinks, ale, beer,
wine. sack and numerous varieties of
mead or metheglin.
Her Only Thought.
The late Duke of Sutherland, who
was the largest landowner in Europe,
had at Dunrobin castle a small private
railway line and often amused him-
self by driving the engine.
There is a little story that illustrates
the reverence 'n which his highland
tenants held the duke.
Me was driving his little train one
afternoon when he ran down an old
woman. She was not seriously hurt—
the amateur engineer never went very
fast—and after ten or fifteen minutes
she came to.
Her first words were these:
“Is the duke very angry?”
Answered.
“Do you dance on your toes, Miss
Quickwit?”
“Never, Mr. Clumsey. Other people
do that for me.”
And he didn’t know just what she
meant until he tried to get another
dance with her.
Financial Rabies.
“Your husband. my dear woman, has
financial rabies.”
“But, doctor, he has never, so far as
I know, been bitten by a dog. 1 don’t
