Telling of bis experience In Jolo.ln tbe Philippines, a writer In the New York Times says: "When I was first pc,lntf UP 80nle 01 l! f there ran toward me one flay a band- somelv dressed little boy. his mother following at a distance.

But the scream the mother let out, followed by a quick rushing of men with knives from all the huts roundabout, soon convinced me I had offended seriously. A priest of their faith, who bad been giving me lan guage lessons, was luckily among the nrstN to arrive. I explained Jo him 1 bad meant nothing wrong. He in turn explained to me that bartering in chil dren "was very much b? a reality among tbem and, more than that, Ibtt it was not tbe custom for any man ever to address a remark to their wuiuijj u uij.

In Turkey meeting eyebrows are greatly admired, and tbe women use artificial means to bring the brows to this condition, and If art cannot Indues tbln eyebrows to grow they make up by drawing a black line with paste. It woukl appear that the Greeks ad mired brows which almost tnet, and the fashionable inhabitants of Rome oot only approved of tbem, but resort ed to pigments to make up tbe lack Which sometimes existed. Some proverbs state that the person whose eyebrows meet will always have good lock, while others state exactly tbe reverse. The Chinese say that "people whose eyebrows meet can nev er hope to attain to tbe dignity of a minister of state," and In Greece of today tbe man whose brows meet is said to be a vampire, while In Den mark and Germany it is said be is werewolf. London Spectator. . . Don't 8ortoh a Mole. Dr. ' Jean Dartler. speaking before the French Association For the Study of Cancer, referred to the tragic pos sibilities of the Innocent looking mole. "Scratch a mole." he said, "and yoa may catch a cancer." ' Some moles were harmless and some were potentially poisonous, he con tinued. The only wise course was to leave well enough alone and resist the temptation to scratch tbe mole. Warts and wens should be borne patiently lest worse befall their possessors. Dr. Dartier told of a man wbo. by cauter izing a harmless wart on bis hand transformed it into a cancer. Met Its Match. A cyclone visited tbe negro quarters in an Alabama mining camp several years ago. It tumbled down tbe cab Ins and not one Joist or sill was left standing. Uncle Joe was tbe only one wbo came through tbe visitation un scathed.
