Woatminater Abboy'i Prizefighter.

Observant visitors to Westminster abbey may have noticed in one- of tho groups of statuary near the north door of the edince a remarkable arm on one of the figures. Not a. few people have thought that it was an exaggerated model or a but as a matter of facfc It was actually modeled from the arm of a verger at Uie abbey, named John Burton, who at one time was champion prizefighter of England. I Burton was the dean's verger, and on I one occasion he asked if he would like to bo burled in tho abbey. Burton replied In the atllrmatlve and also ask- I ed that the fact that he was champion prizefighter of England should bo in! scribed on his tomb.

To this the deari consented, but when the time came It was decided by the chapter that tlie Inscription should be omitted. i Burton, however, was burled in the abbey, although there is nothing on i the tombstone to Indicate who or what he Opinion. A Story About Rodin. Tho Cti de Paris cells a most amusing story, If true, about itiHHn and somo unnamed rich American woman who hud selected him to make a statue of herself, full length and so far as possible a portrait. She had posed ten times In antique costume when Rodin told her that ho did not need her any more and that he would finish the work at his leisure.

When the American came again she found to her amazement that the head of the statue bore no resemblance whatever to her. She complained bitterly that no one would even recognize her. "It Is tnie," said the great sculptor dreamily. "Your head did not Inspire me at all. At first I thought I would not put any head on the statue, but after I bad thought It over carefully, In order uot to offend you I put In place of your face that of Mine, dc E.

'She hud ordered hers of me, but never paid for it. At any rate, you will gain much by this chnngel" Queer Talismans In-Malta. There are still to be found In Malta a number of small stones shaped and colored like the eyes, tongues and other parts of serpents. The superstitious among the Maltese connect these with the tradition that St Paul when shipwrecked was cast on their island, and It WHS there that while lighting bundle of sticks for a Ore a viper fastened on tho apostle's baud. St Paul calmly shook tho reptile off into the mimes, and no harm followed, Tho natives wear these stones as talismans, In which character they suppose them serviceable in warding off dangers from snake bites and poisons.

They are found In St Paul's cave, embedded in cloy, and are set In rings and bracelets and when found to be In the shapo of a tongue or liver or heart are hung around the neck. Homemade Window Pole.

There is a popular belief to the effect that the Neapolitan eats his spaghetti by a deft process of wrapping thirty or forty Inches round the tines of his fork and then lifting it Inboard, an ell at a time. This. Is not correct The true Neapolitan does not eat his spaghetti at all; he Inhales It He gathers up a loose strand and starts It down his throat He then respires from the diaphragm, and, like a troupe of trained angleworms, that entire mass of spaghetti uncoils itself, gets up off the plate and disappears inside him--en masse, as It were--and makes him look like a man who la chinning himself over a set of bead portieres.

I fear that we in America will never learn to siphon our spaghetti into us thus. It takes a nation that has practiced deep breathing for S. Cobb In Saturday Evening Post Unfair Handicap. Willie had resigned his position in the biff bakery, where he labored In the pie department, and had gone to work in a carpenter's shop for smaller wages. The social investigator having heard about Willie questioned, him.

'Aren't you sorry you left the bakery and came to this shop?" she asked kindly. "No'm," Willie answered quickly. "But you get less money." "Xes'm." "Well, what was the matter with the bakery?"

A very curious and exceedingly clever dance may bo witnessed in Fiji called by the natives "the sugar cone meke," or sugar cane dance. It represents the growth of the sugar.pane. In the llrot figure the dancers squat low on the ground, shake their heads, shut their eyes tind murmur 'slowly and softly an unintelligible sentence.

Gradually they all stand up together, growing taller and taller, and as they "grow" they wave their arms and tremble all over from ankle to head, lilts taasgledi.cane, waving in the wind, and -still they beep on chant- Ing louder and louder. The last flg- uro represents a series of combats meant to symbolize the exactions of the chiefs, who compel the "kalsl," willing and unwilling, to come and cut their crop--London Standard. Etnisoan Vasea, The famous Etruscan vases were wrongly named, for, tho'agh made In Etruria, they were the productions of. Greek genius. They are elegant In form and enriched with bands of beautiful foliage and other ornaments, figures and similar objects of a highly artistic character.

One class has black figures and ornaments on a red ground --the natural color of'the clay; another has the figures of the natural color and the ground painted black. The former class belong to a date about 600 B. the latter date alxut a century later and extend over a period of some 300 or 350 vears. Use For Empty Cans.

An Absoluts Vacuum TChat would seem tc be an absolute vacuum may be produced in an extremely simple manner. There Is employed a test tube (a tube of glass closed at one end), which in this particular case must be composed of a kind' of glass that melts only at a very high temperature. Into the tube is poured molten glass of another kind which melts at a comparatively low temperature. When the latter has cooled, thus forming a solid mass completely filling the tube, a suction pump is attached to the open end of the tube, and heat is then applied until the softer glass Inside is again melted.

The next step Is to withdraw the molten glass by means of the pump, enough being left to close the end of the tube completely, when it Is allowed to cool once more. As. no air can enter the space left vacant by the withdrawal of the molten mass, a perfect vacuum. It is believed, is produced Louis Bepubllc. Study Your Moods.

People ruled by the mood of gloom attract to them gloomy things. The hopeful, confident, and cheerful attract the elements of success. A' man's front or back yard will advertise that man's ruling mood in the way it Is kept. A woman at home shows her state of mind. In her drees.

A slattern advertises the ruling mood oC hopelessness, carelessness and lack of system. Rags, tatters and dirt are always in the mind before being on body. The thought that Is most put out brings its corresponding visible element to crystallize about you as surely and literally as the visible bit of copper solution attracts to it the invisible copper in that solution. Every thought of yours has a literal value to you In every possible way. In whatever mood you set your mind does yoor spirit receive of unseen substance in correspondence with that Mulford.
