Kindly Rural CeuaJe Had Small Cm- eastlan f the Place at Art In the World. r member of. the Art Students' leagna tella talaoa o himself: la the coarse of a sketching jaunt la the . rural districts last summer he nad wandered rather far afield, aad finding, himself in a pictoxeeqae section, ar ranged to stay a few days at the home, of an old couple of uncouth but kindly nature. He was engaged one day along the roadside, where a calf was teth ered, in making a water-color study of the pretty creature, when an automo bile containing a party of Pittsburgers. drew up and the occupants paused to ask for some information. One of the motorists took a fancy to the sketch, and made arrangements to purchase it, when completed, for 25. This bit of news aroused in the ru ral hosts of the artist the most' pro found astonishment, as he learned aft er retiring that night, on overhearing from the kitchen below the following conversation: "Land sakes. Hiram, d'yu believe them people really give him 25 fer tfrat little bit of paintln'?" "Waal, some o' them Pittsburgers hez more money than brains, an' they're like t' do most anything." "But, my land. Hiram, 25 fer a little bit o' paper with a calf drawed onto It! Why, If they'd on'y a knowed it, they c'd a had th' critter itself fer half the money." BETTER WITHOUT THE PILLOW Doctor Declares That Sounder and More Healthful Sleep Is Secured. Without Its Use. "Pillows are little more than a fad, and a rather harmful one at that," said a doctor. "They should really only be used by those who sleep on their sides, as they are injurious to others. When you sleep on your side your shoulder prevents your head from lying level on the bed, and pil lows are useful to raise the head to this level. The natural and most healthful position for the ordinary person in sleeping is for one's head to be kept perfectly even, just as it would be standing up. Now, for the' one who lies on his back while Bleep ing, no pillow is needed to keep the head in this position, and yet 99 per cent, of the persons who sleep on their backs use pillows, while those who sleep on their sides use far more pillow than is necessary. People get used to having their heads and shoul ders propped high up, and imagine they could not sleep any other way, but, as a matter of fact, if they would try sleeping with little or no pillow they would not only find that they would feel better in the morning, but also would actually be more comfort able in bed and sleep much sounder throughout the night" A Hogarthian Inn Sign. One of the most humorous inn signs Is "The Man Loaded with Mischief," which is found about a mile from Cam bridge, England, on the Madingley road. The -original "Mischief waa de signed by Hogarth for a public house in Oxford street. It is needless to say that the sign board and even the name, have long ago disappeared from the busy Lon don thoroughfare, but the quaint de vice must have been extensively copied by country sign painters There is a "Mischief" at Walling ford and a "Load of Mischief" at Norwich. The Inn on the Madingley road, exhibits the sign in its original form Though the colors are much faded from exposure to the weather, traces of Hogarthian humor can be detected. A man is staggering under the weight of a woman, who is on his back. She is holding a glass of gin in her hand; a chain and padlock are around the man's neck, labeled "Wed lock." On the right hand is the shop oi "S. Gripe, Pawnbroker," and a car penter is just going in to pledge his tools. India Women's Fine Jewelry. "It is a rare thing to see the women of India these days wearing any valu able gold jewelry, as they did in years gone by." said Charles Gawtrey of Bombay. "When I first went to the Orient the women of the upper class commonly owned and wore thick chains and bracelets of the finest gold and ol exquisite workmanship. In these times of pinching poverty they are too re duced financially to possess any ex pensive ornaments and instead of the gold trinkets of their affluent days thev would have formerly despised It Is pitiable to witness, as I have, the decline in the fortunes of the people. Abject poverty is seen everywhere, and the gaunt specter of starvation is ever at the side of millions of human beings in that ill-fated land." Official Standing of Kiss. Homer describes how the servants of the noble Odysseus kissed his head, shoulders and hands, and he alsc states with his usual exactness, which class of servants was entitled to dc homage in this manner and which class had to be satisfied with a hand shake. Thus in Romejt was custom ary to kiss the head, the hands, the tunics or the feet of prominent men, according to the rank of those whe saluted. In the beginning of the im perial era a prominent Roman could not appear in public but that he was almost devoured by his admirers Diocletian introduced the kiss of honor, which was given by the emperor for particular merits in the public wel fare, just as decorations are given to day.

Others may have said the same thing, but this rather unsympathetic comment is attributed to the late Judge Hoar: "Are you going to at tend the funeral of Gen. Butler?" a friend asked him.

Students of Biblical lore and geog raphers have located the Garden of Eden in many places on the earth in the last few hundred years. So ex cellent an authority on oriental his tory as Prof. Robert W. Rogers of the Drew Theological seminary has defi nitely placed it in the circumscribed region lying between the Tigris and Euphrates. He says he does so with the full authority of the Bible. In the course of his oriental re search Prof. Rogers found that the Biblical references to the Garden of Eden seemed to Indicate that it must have been in the region between the two rivers mentioned. He points to the fact that in the Biblical story of Eden appears the statement that a river watering the garden was divided and became four heads, the last of the four being Euphrates. The Euphrates rises in the Armenian mountains, and. uniting with the Tigris, flows into the Persian gulf. Christopher Columbus thought that Eden was in Venezuela, and so in formed the Spaniards. One or two other explorers of years gone by con tended that the garden was on the island of Ceylon, the reason being simply that they found there a moun tain called Adams' Peak. The search for the Holy Grail occu pied the time of the middle ages 'in great part, but with the final abandon ment of that quest the hunt for the Garden of Eden became a popular pastime. In the early stages of this it was. located in many different places, among them being Armenia, .Utopia, Atalantis, and a prehistoric continent somewhere. One savant placed It close to the African equator IS USEFUL ALLY OF FARMERS Plover Destroys Various Insects That Damage Crops, Is Assertion of English Publication. Of all our birds the plover is abso lutely the most useful on the land, and we have the authority of the board of agriculture for saying that "the multiplication of insects injurious to crops" is the direct consequence of the fashion for plovers' eggs. The bird destroys snails, wireworms, beetles and all sorts of noxious in sects that damage crops. As it feeds largely at night It destroys many in sects that other birds do not touch, and it has also a peculiar virtue in killing a water snail which indirectly Is the cause of liver rot, a deadly dis ease in sheep. Plover have been more than usually numerous this year, and no doubt if their eggs were protected, as in Scot land, they would multiply yet more and save many thousands of pounds that are now spent on the fattening of the wlreworm. It is becoming also a more popular practice to keep lovers as a garden pet. They do Incalculable good and are very interesting to watch, especially at this season. Lon don Daily Mall.

There are many ways of cooking oysters. -"Angels on Horseback" are well known, but I should hope not very well liked. It is a barbarous con junction, that of bacon with oysters; a tremendous compliment to the ba con, it is true, but an insult to the fish! Nor can I praise the steak and oy sters so dear to many. But as an ingredient in a beefsteak pie nothing but praise can be spoken of the bi valve. There are oysters in that most delicious of pies, the one that cooks for 24 hours and keeps a man up all night to see that it does not leave off boiling.
