Nobody ever paid any attention to the grave.

Great surprise. The sculp'ure was discovered to be the magnificent work of aD Italian artist Pietro Tor regiano. of whom Kipling speaks in his novel. "Just So." Since that time thousands of visitors to the aht»*\ have asked to see the masterpiece and book publishers report that there has been a sudden demand for works on Henry VIL Henry might be recognized, one of these days as a great king, thereby establishing that fame depended on a little bit of soap —Pierre Van Paassen in the Atlanta Constitution. Left Freak Songbird Guess ng as to Close People who know Mr. Gatti-Gasazza director of the Metropolitan opera know he has a positive talent foi dealing with bores Here is the new est story they are telling in musical circles about him : One of his songbirds, a man not a bit lacking in self-assurance, has » voice of peculiar range. He started a« a tenor, changed his mind and reg ister and warbled for a while as a baritone and then actually sang as » basso One day he cornered the bust Mr Gatti and edged him into an audi tion chamber at the ope a bouse. First be sang bis tenor notes, then his uari tone, then rendered a few bars bass, profundo. After which be drew him seif up and with the utmost pride de rnanded: "Tell me. am I a tenor, a baritone or a basso?” “No!" roared Gatti. seizing his hat and leaving the room.—New York Sun Chily Forecast The earth is gu-wing tu hulk oo ac count of the meteoric dust that fall on It. It has recently been estimated that 100 tons fall daily over the sur face of the globe and that millions o' years hence this will have increased the thickness of the earth consider ably This would have a tendency ti bring os closer to the sun. But eentrif ogaf force is augmented at the satm time in greater proportion and coun teracts this tendency; consequently the earth would he swept away from the sun. with tire result that its dis tance from ttiai body would be con siderably augmented. This is spoken of as having possibly happened to some of the larger, outer planets— notably Jupiter—in the remote past. Why Bishop Quit Betting That he spoke from experience when denouncing betting, was the dedara tion of Stirling Wool combe, bisbop of Whitby, at a meeting in York Eng land, recently. "While at Oxford I was lucky and t>ecame extremely In teresled,” be said. ‘My last bet was ten shillings on a five-to-one winner of the Chester cup. yet my friend and I resolved after the race never to bet again, not because we had lost—we had woo a considerable sum—but be cause we were finding out that when betting enters into you It saps your highest interests. I believe It would have driven me to hell if I had gone on with It." Odd Reason for Delay Mr. Jones rang the bell at the new doctor’s house Usually he went to hie old family doctor, but the new man happened to live nearer and it was an urgent call. The doctor's wife answered the ring “You wish to see the doctor?" she said. “Couldn't you come tomorrow morning?” "Why.” said Jones, “isn’t the doc tor in?” “Oh, yes, he’s in.’ said the woman wistfully, “but you're his first patient, and I'd like you to come as a surprise for him tomorrow. You see. it’s bis birthday." Ancient English Dance Id the English morris dance, which evolved from the sword dance, swords are discarded for sticks or handker chiefs. The morris men, six in num ber, are dressed in short trousers and jerkins adorned with bright-colored ribbous, gay rosettes, flowers and greenery. They wear a pad of bells on each knee. Tbe dance is usually done in the spring, especially during Whitsun week. Years ago the men in it blaekened their faces to disguise /themselves, which made them look like Moors, and this led to the dance being called Morlsco. and later morris Only in Spots Man is well on in the scientific plane of thinking, but he is not scientific all over and through and through, so to speak. There are large areas in him that are primitive, ancient and medic val; he walks about with vestigal and atavistic mental as well as physical organs and processes. He carries In him not only the Twentieth century, but probably all the centuries that have gone before, since the beginning of life. Consequently, be is Twentieth century only In a spot of two.—Plain Talk Magazine. No Way of Recovering Time One Has Wasted Punctuality in daily iife Is of prime importance to the Individual who would succeed. iHiints out an editorial in Liberty Magazine. “Punctuality." warns the editorial, “is a business asset, if you have an appointment with a man and are ten minutes late, you lose. You have made a big mistake. If the appoint ment is with your wife or sweetheart, to meet her in the lobby of tbe Whoo sis theater at 2:30. and yon get tb' *e at 2:3.t—well, it makes the matinee considerably less pieasaDt. If the lady ; in tbe case is your best girl you pmh ably won’t be late anyhow. But she may keep you waiting; that is iust discipline. “But. on the whole." concludes tbe editorial, “if you and everybody would go through life five minutes ahead or time, the course of things would he much more pleasant. De sires wouid be fulfilled more swiftly and success would be more willing to perch on the proper banners VV. have a definite capital of time—Inst so much in a day or a week or a I year It is just as bad to waste monev or health The rewards of conserving | it are just as sure, and the penalties j of not doing so just as inevitable.” i Penetrated Secret of Statue’s Golden Head Hannibal Tosct. a wealthy Italian who died recemly is said to have ac quired his wealth in a most romantic way Years and years ago there was erected on a highway near Naples a stone which bore this inscription in French: "On the first of May In every year at six o'clock in the morn ing I have a golden head." Fot many years persons flocked to the scene at the appointed hour for tbe purpose of witnessing some miracle, until finally as nothing ever happened, they '-«r> eluded It was a fraud and no atten tion was paid to It One morning in 1*01. Tosci. then a lad. hapftened along and an idea oc curred to him So on the succeeding May day he was on the spot at si\ o’clock in the morning and dug a hole at the point where ihe shadow of the head of the monument fell. Soon he discovered an old feather knapsack which was filled with gold amounting in value to wa««i francs. Old Belief a Myth There is a popular hetiel that a dog is not permitted to cross large bridges, such as the Brooklyn bridge, because of the vibration ami consequent dan ger to the bridge that its regular amt ev< u tread would cause. Of course it is a myth. It is based on the same theory that one soldier walking over such a bridge in regular step would produce more vibration than a regi ment of soldiers marching “rout step Kor the reason when troops march over a bridge the officer gives tin order "rout step." if ail the men kept step on a long bridge the vibra thin would he considerable and might cause danger. But a cat or dog would have no appreciable effect on a large modern bridge. He Had Tried It Mother is fond of pointing a moral when she tells stories, but young Clif ford is not always properly impressed One morning when she was uncertain whether or not he would relish the nourishing cereal she had prepared for him. she began telling him a story as she dressed him. a story about a big. healthy boy wiio was big enough to go to school “And." she said in an impressive tone of voice, “what do you suppose this tine hig boy had for breakfast? In file uncanny wisdom of his three years. Clifford replied: “Oh.

His mother had made small progress in breaking the habit, wtien his grandmother decided to fake a hand < me night, as site prepared him for •ted. she surreptitiously annoiuted his thumb with a harmless. Ill-tasting drug She tucked him into bed and returned to the living room. Soon she heard a startled and in sistent wall. "O rand mother, come here. My thumb thmelth green and tathth thomthing awful.” Which Paper Is That? Toots was the sort of twenty-year old maiden who believed anything and that the moon was made of green cheese. She was famous for that. One evening at a social gathering Toots wgs harkening to the speech of a new bride who said she was going to Join the Eastern Star, as it was an : excellent organization.
