Apparently Therm St
Much Virtue in Soap
Kings are like other human heings
They need to be washed occasionally
Even when they exist only In bronze
King Henry VII has his tomb in
Westminster aboey. Nobody ever paid
any attention to the grave. The mono
men! was considered to be of no im
porta rice, historically or esthetically
From this opinion to tbe belief that
King Henry VII did not amount to
much as a monarch, was only a step
Somebody bad tbe notion to clean the
tomb a short time ago Tbe stone
was scrubbed and tbe bronze polished
np. 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

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

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

No Way of Recovering

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

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. I know. .Something he didn't
like, but it wns very, very good for
him.”

drug She tucked him into bed and

Soon she heard a startled and in

Which Paper Is That?
Toots was the sort of twenty-year
old maiden who believed anything and

cheese. She was famous for that.
One evening at a social gathering

Early English Coinage
A penny of gold, struck during the
reign of Henry II, was England's first

I followed the gold Horin and noble, the
