Kindness Not Apprecluted.
A little incident that amused the pas
sengers in a Brooklyn bridge car the
other day would seem to indicate that
the semi-tough young man with a baby
in his arms does not appreciate polite
ness. As the semi-tough young man is
seldom seen carrying a baby it might,
however, be hard to prove the rule.
k Bat this one was carrying a baby, and
the ttreu iooKing woman with mm was
lugging a bag that looked twice as
heavy as the baby. The woman ras
the first to see the only vacant seat in
the car and dropied into it. And then
a dapper young fellow who had been
reading intently looked up, and his gaze
fell first on the baby.
lie apparently didn't notice that it waa
a man holding the infant, for he jumped
np, lifted his hat, and said, "Please take
my seat, madam." The fellow with the
child scowled, but all he said was: "If
yer Bpeakin' to de kid, dat's all right,
but if yer speakin' to me IU smash yer
face. See?" And he stood np all the
way over, looking as if he felt much in
sulted. New York Times.
Mohammed's Descendants.
To find families of an antiquity at
once remote and certain we must go be
yond Europe and seek them nearer the
cradle of the human race. Mohammed
died in 632, leaving nine wdves and only
one child, his daughter Fatima, who was
married (as several other ladies wore) to
Ali, the prophet's first convert and chief
lieutenant. From Fatima have descend
ed the numberless sultans, nobles, cher
ifa, kins and t-inperors who, ever since
the prophet's dr.y, have constituted so
important a part of the ruling class in
the world which he organized. Today,
after the lapse of thirteen centuries, it is
the blood of the prophet that constitutes
the title to nobility in the several coun
tries of the east. Chicago Times.

LEGENDARY WORLDS.
Expeditions Set Out from the Canary Isl
ands to IXscover Tliein.
Stories of legendary worlds have at nil
times possessed a fascination for most
. minds and formed the subject of much
: curious speculation. However childish
' such tales may seem at the present day,
: "they once wielded sufficient sway,"
says M. Flamarian in his "History of the
Heavens," "over men's minds as to gain
their belief in the veritable existence of
the places described, and in this way to
iriduence their astronomical and cosmo
graphical idtsta."
Many such legends originated when
geography was in its infancy and the
greater part of the wTorld's surface still
unknown. From that time, too, travel
ers like Sir John Mandeville excited
curiosity by relating discoveries which
they professed to have made in their dis
tant journeying, and which those w ho
received them readily accepted as facts.
In process of time these mythical ac
counts were gradually circulated from
one country to another and became in
t er wo ven with the traditions of the
people among whom they were told.
Hence, in one form or another, we find
in most parts of the world numerous
stories of legend a rj worlds still current,
survivals of which may be traced to the
literature of modern times. Thus, go
ing back to early days, the poets ami
philosophers of Greece and Rome gave
detailed accounts of the land whither
mortals wend their way when this life
is over, enumerating its rivers, its lakes,
its woods and mountains.
Accordingly, Utysses was said to
reach the place of the dead by crossing
the ocean to the Cimmerian land,
iEneas to have entered it by the Lake
Avernus, whereas Xenophon informs us
that Hercules went there by the penin
sula of Arechusaide. In early times the
Canary Islands were regarded as the
neighborhood of the terrestrial home of
the blessed dead, and many wonderful
stoiies were told of this enchanted lo
cality. Thus, as Washington Irving writes:
"Occasionally this enigmatical spot
would be visible from their shores,
stretching far away in the clear bright
west, to all appearance substantial like
themselves and still more beautiful.
Expeditions would launch forth from
the Canaries to explore this land of prom
ise. For a long time its sun gilt peaks
and shadowy promontories would re
main distinctly visible, but in propor
tion as the voyagers approached peak
and promontory would gradually fade
away until nothing would remain but
blue sky above and deep blue water be
low." This legendary land was, as the Portu
guese and Spanish declared, an island
which had sometimes been lighted upon
by accident, but when sought for could
not be found. Bat a king of Portugal is
said to have made a conditional sur
render of it to another when it should be
discovered, and when the kingdom of
Portugal cedem to the Castilian crown
its rights over the Canaries the treaty
included the island of Brandain, de
scribed as the island which had not yet
been found. London Standard.
Queer Filling:.
There are numbers of dentists in New
York who ought to be sawing wood. I
had a friend tell me about a week ago of
a severe pain 111 a tooth which he had
only recently had filled. He argued that
it could not be the tooth, because he had
only a few days before sat in the den
tist's chair. The dentist was unknown
to him, and had been selected because
his office was next the place where my
friend begirds. I advised him to go to a
first class dental practitioner, which he
did. Next day he said to me: "Do vou
know what was the matter with my
tooth? That fellow up by my boarding
house did not clean the tooth out before
he filled it. He had left pieces of cotton
in the cavity and had piled the gold in
on top of it. No wilder it ached."

Kngland's Karly Coins.
When England was being made into
mince meat and blocks of real estate by
the Saxons and Danes silver and brass
were in use as currency, but the Nor
mans subsequently installed the aristo
cratic metal and left the democratic
first coined by Henry III, and copper
made into British coin in 1CT2. Tin was
used for coinage in 1G80, and the national
farthing was made of this Cambrian
product, with a stud of copper set in the
center. In 1690 and 1691 tin half pence
were issued in considerable quantities.
The only pure gold coins issued in En
glish history were those of Henry III.
Age of Steel.
Cutting Behind.
When we harge a youngster with
"cutting behind" we make a charge that
cannot be proved. Every boy knows
that the cutting behind is done by the
man who sits in front with the whip.
He cuts behind at the boy who hangs on
behind, but the latter is uaed to it, and
enjoys his ride as much as he does the
jealousy of his companion afoot, who
out of revenge yells, "Cut behind!" to the
driver, and then maliciously informs the
teacher that it was the boy who cut be

She Never Had Seen It.
The other day a little girl was paying
her commandments. "For in six days,"
she repeated rapidly, "the Lord made
heaven aad earth, the sea and allthatin
themi.T.' Thn stopped. "- f"?u?ra."
she said, "I've seen the Leaven, and the
earth, and the sea, but I never saw any
alltbatinthemiz. Where does God keep
that?" The child had really believed
that there was a certain separate cre
ation called "allthatinthemiz" that she
had never been able to find. New York
