The Ham Fair at Parii.
A feature of Parisian life Is the ham
fair which Is held ou the Boulevard
Jtlchard Le Nolr. The name of tlil
fulr Is wholly misleading, for as far
as I have ever seen banis ure the very
last thins any one ever buys tin-re.
Old brass and copper curios, quaint
Jewelry, rare china, lace, tapestried
and books are what most people go
out to seek, und a sight not to be easily
forgotten Is the long, wide boulevard
lined with ramshackle stalls laden
with every possible kind of lumber and
presided over by the most rapacious
of brocanteurs. Out of piles of value
less lumber Americans and English
diligently seek for their pet kind of
curios, and there Is not an artist la
Paris who caunot point to some bit
of furniture tn his or her studio and
say with pride, "I got that for 5 francs
at the ham fair." No one ever pays
more than 5 francs, I notice, but, alas.
every year these five franc bargains
are becoming more rare, and even as
housekeeping In Paris grows more and
more costly so does the furnishing of
one's house to keep. London Queen.

Only a Question of Possibility.
Among the customers of a tea store
opened In the uorthwest part of the
city the other night was a man w ho,
after buying a pound of coffee, handed
a counterfeit half dollar to the shop
keeper. "This money Is counterfeit; I'm sor
ry, sir," said the shopkeeper.
"Yes; I know It," replied the cus
tomer, grinning. "Got It hero one day
last week, and I've been saving It for
you." Then, noting the smile upon
the shopkeeper's face, the customer
said, evidently offended. "Perhaps you
doubt my word?"
"Oh, not at all, sir; notnt all. 1
couldn't doubt the word of so truthful
a man. I was simply smiling because
I wondered how It was possible for
you to have got the money here. This
place was opened only night before
last."
Thereupon the customer departed
hastily after producing n good coin
and slipping the counterfeit Into his
own pocket Philadelphia Times.
Lancashire Humor.
There was a Lancashire collier who
went out on Sunday with his wheel
barrow because, ns he said, "I've lost
ml dog, an' a felly looks slcb a foo'
gooln' a-walkln' bl hlsself."
Then there was the worklngnien's
club committee which wanted to In
dorse the accounts "audited and found
correct and tuppence over" and the
customer who, on being told that the
price of candles had gone up owing to
the war, asked whether they were
"felghtln' bl candle leet"
Also one recalls the laggard Lan
cashire lover who, when asked for a
kiss, said be was "gooln to do It tn a
bit," and the old ladles who praised a
certain Darwin clergyman as "a grand
burler," and of the orator who trans
lated "Dlcu et mon droit" Into "Evil be

thing that a race which Is on the bt-

should have produced a special cult of
wrestlers who are plants In stature
and strength. The leading wrestlers
of Tokyo or Osaka or Illogo are all
men at least six feet In height and
weighing perhaps 300 pounds. They
are a race apart. Wrestling It an oc

Diamonds Under Water.
Au Imitation diamond Is never sc
Iirllliant as a genuine stone. If your
eye Is not experienced enough to do
tect the difference, a very simple- test
Is to place the stone under water. The
Imitation stone Is practically extin
guished, while a genuine diamond
sparkles even under water and k dis
tinctly visible. When possible, place a
genuine stone beside the possible imi
tation under water, and the contrast
will be apparent to the least experi
enced eyes.

The Making of Lenses.
The essential part of any device for
the study of the starry millions the
suns, planets, comets and the nebulae
that are perhaps new worlds in the
making U the leis or the optical train
that consists of a series of lenses, lt
Is this that makes the modern science
of astronomy possible. There Is abso
lutely no other human occupation that
requires the accuracy of observation
and the delicacy of touch that are
requisite for the making of the finest
lenses. These are the most perfect
products of human hands. It may
convey some Idea of the labor requir
ed In the making of a large lens to
say that at least one year's time Is re
quired for the grinding and polishing
of a thirty Inch object glass. A little
lens two inches In diameter requires
the unremitting care and attention of
a skilled workman for two or three
days. It Is easy, then, to see why It Is
that even lenses of high class photo
graphic work are costly. A forty Inch
object glass for a large telescope can
not be made In much less than four
years' time, and If everything does not
go Just right It may require much
longer than that Kansas City Star.
