small coin used In India and of very
small value, and la also the name giv
en by tinkers to a small wad of paper

Fashions Little Changed.
From the fresco paintings of women
In Cretan palaces of the period about
2000 B. C, It Is learned that the wom

had flounced or accordeon plaited
skirts, were an elaborate coiffure,
shoes with high heels and hats which
might have come from a Parisian hat
shop, while one woman might be de
scribed at wearing a Jupe culotte.
Fortune From Small Invention.
The man who was born too early to
wear, as a boy, red top boots with a
brass tip across the toe was also born
too early to feel the true thing In the

they were most serviceable in prevent

his fortune out of them.
Profit In Study of Names.
To study out names may often bring

what your ancestors were.

Secret of Influence.
Force, fervor, Intensity these are
the qualities which bave given their
power to great leaders In all the
movements by which the world has
been swayed. Sometimes they have
been present In men who left so little
written memorial or whose efforts
were foiled by adverse circumstances
that we can note only the fact that
they must have been remarkable be
cause their contemporaries admired
and followed them. They possessed
the secret of Influence, though we can
not tell how they manifested It. They
are among the riddles of history.
Chambers' Journal.
Stars That Give Little Light.
Scattered through space are In
numerable stars that give forth verj
little light or heat Either they were
never, at any period of their history,
bright and glowing like the myriad
stars that make the midnight sky so
beautiful, or In the course of countless
ages' the heat they once possessed has
radiated away from them Into the
depth of space, and now they are, as
their name describes them, "dark
stars."
Printing In China.
If reports are to bo relied on, they
had the art of printing In China "2,400
years ago." It was block printing,
however, though It Is said that they
had something very like movable type
in the middle of the tenth century.
There may be some doubt as to the ex
act period, but there Is no room for
questioning the fact that for many
centuries before It was known In Eu
rope the art was well known in China.
Their Names Against Them.
We are believed to believe that An
anias left no descendants, but there
were peoitfe so like him as to bear
the name of Ananla, or again Ananian.
Their descendants have to bear the
brunt of ancestral duplicity. So, Mr.
Anacreonte may perhaps trace his de
scent back to the sweet Greek sing
er of women and wine. Not unlike
ly, as his greatest poetic brother, Pin
dar, also has sons.
Wood for Lead Pencils.
The annual output of lead pencils
In this country Is more 320,000,000.
The cednr wood Is used In making
them weigh about 100,000 tons, and
nearly three-fourths of a cent's worth
of wood Is required for each pencil.
No other wood Is so good for the pur
pose, and the timber is becoming
Bcarce. Old cedar planks and fence
rails now find a ready sale.
Point Possibly Overlooked.
.'. western man advertises for a wife,
and stipulates that the woman must
be the widow of a man who has been
hanged. The Inference is that he wants
to show up well In comparison with
her former husband, evidently over
looking the fact that not every man
who deserves it Is hanged. Philadel

Real Hard Luck.
Nobody can be said to be really
down on his luck to the down downd

the percentage system works so agon
izingly as with the valuable watch
owned by a poor man.

FIRST OF ANIMAL HOSPITALS
More Than 2,000 Year Ago One Was
Established in India, Says
an Authority.
The New York women who have
opened a free anlmnl dispensary in
this city are regarded as pioneers In a
good work. As a matter of fact one
must go to the Orient and look back
more than 2,000 years to find the first
animal hospital known.
The famous Pivldhist emperor of In
dia, Asoka, whose longelgn from 2G4
to 227 B. C. abounded In many good
workB, was probably the earliest to
establish a hospital for the treatment
of animals, says Our Dumb Animals.
soka was a true humanitarian as
well as a most powerful sovereign and
although ruling a vast domain be
came deeply Impressed by the horrors
of warfare.
He gave up his desire for conquest
and the rock inscriptions, which are
still extant, record such beneficent
edicts of his as the counseling of
planting shnde trees, the digging of
wells, sending out of missionaries, ap
pointment of speckil officers to super
vise charities, the establishing of hos
pitals for human kind and animals.
It is of Interest to know that the
last remaining of Asoka's hospitals
was devoted to animals. It covered
twenty-five acres and was divided Into
proper wards and courts for the ac
commodation of the patients. When
an animal was sick or injured its
master had only to bring It to the hos
pital, where It was cared for without
regard to the caste of its owner, and
where, if necessary, It found an asy
lum in old age.
Providence In Human Affairs.
If a great change Is to be made In
human affairs, the minds of men will
be fitted to It, the general opinions
and feelings will draw that way. Ev
ery fear, every hepe, will forward It;
and then they who persist in oppos
ing this mighty current In human af
fairs will appear rather to resist the
decrees of Providence Itself than the
decrees of men. Edmund Burke.

Uncle Joe's Reply.
Some members of the house heard
a few days ago the strangest combi
nation of sacred and profane langunge
whlct had ever been uttered on that
floor. During a debate Uncle Joe Can
non went after A. Mitchell Palmer of
Pennsylvania, and handled him with
out gloves.. Cannon is a Quaker and
so is Palmer. When conversing pri
vately they drop into the Quaker ver
nncular. After the debate Palmer
went to the former speaker, who is
thlrtytslx years older than himself.
"Uncle Joe," he said, "thee treated
me a little roughly In the debate to
day." "WelV replied Uncle Joe, In a mix
ture of Quaker and Cannonlan Eng
lish, "perhaps I did treat thee a llttlo
severely, but blankety-blank, thou de
served every damned thing I said."
