After the downfall of Charles 1., Crom well lu order to rnlso funds propoxed tho sale of certain pictures, this among the number. Tho bargain was already made, but when tho would bo pur chaser came to Inspect Holbein's mas terpiece he discovered that the head of Henry VIII. had been cut from tliu canvas. Ho naturally withdrew his offer, ft tut the picture was preserved to thu nation. On the restoration n nobleman confessed to having com mitted the theft for love of art nnd hi country, and he returned the missing head, which now ix-cuples Its original position lu the canvas, The circle mndo by the knife Is still plainly visi ble.

Fir Terms In Japan. l'lros lu Japan are so common that this destructive agency has established Itself ns n national Institution, and a whole vocabulary has grown up to ex press every shade of meaning In mat tors llory.

(Jetting an "Old Man," "Speaking of new men," said the boss of the skyscraper builders, with n twinkle, "comical things happen even up here, the same as In n theater. Sometimes lu rush seasons there nln't enough hands to go round, nnd we hnve to take 'cm green ns the hills. I had ono once, n kid from Vermont, a whnlo of n kid, with bones like n horse nnd eyes awful nnxlous to plense cyes that tnado you like him. He's one of tho best men I've got now, but then he was green ns God made htm." The foreman stopped to chuckle. '"Go up to tho eighteenth floor.' I told him one dny, 'and bring down an old man.' I wns busy nt tho time, nnd when I saw the kid stnrc I snld kind of sharp that If that old man wasn't here In five minutes the whole blamed building would probably go to smash. This was Just my way of making lilm hustle, but ho thought I meant It word for word. He went up on tho run, nnd lu n few minutes he came down with n sputtering, cluwlng old feller held llko n vise In his arms. "'Ho was the only old man on thu floor,' said tho kid, 'and ho wanted to ston nnd nrguo nbout It, but from what you said I knew wlint It meant. so I Just grabbed him nnd came.'

The way lu which some nrtlsts can distort features without making them unrecognizable Is certainly very re markable, Thomas Nast possessed this faculty to nu extraordinary de gree, and he had u very peculiar way of nildlug uuw faces to his mental photograph gallery. When n fresh subject would arise In politics, for In stance, ho would Invent some pretext to cnll upon him nt his olllcc or house nnd hold him In conversation ns long as possible, studying his features. When ho took his depnrturo ho would purposely leave his cane. Once out side, Nast would make n hasty pencil sketch ou a curd nnd would usually find that his memory wns dcllclcut ns to some detail. Ho would then return, ostensibly for tho cane, nnd another look at the victim would enable him to perfect his sketch, After that lie had thu mail forever. When Joe Kop pier was nllvc ho used to make fre quent trips to Washington for the pur pose of seeing statesmen whom be wanted to draw, lln was very clever at catching likenesses and scarcely ever referred to n photograph. A Wonderful Dlrd. Ono dny u wonderful bird tapped at tho window of Mrs. Nnusen's (wife of thu famous n relic explorer) home nt Chrlstlnuhi. Instantly the window was opened, nnd lu another moment she covered the little messenger with kisses and caresses. The carrier pi geon had been nwny from thu cottage thirty long mouths, but It had not for gotten the way home. It brought n nolo from Niiuseii, stating that all was going well with him nnd his exKdltlon lu tho polar region. Nnuseii had fasten ed n message to thu bird and turned It looso. The frnll courier darted out Into tho hllxzardly air. It Hew like an arrow over u thousand miles of frozen wastu nnd then sped forward over an other thousand miles of ocean nnd plains nnd forests nnd one morning entered the window of thu waiting mistress and delivered the message which she had been awaiting so nox iously, Would Let Folks Know It. HomelKKly sent this to thu society editor and tntidu allldavlt that It really haiH'Ued, Hero It Is; They were out nt an aft ernoon curd party. A stout woman dropped u card to thu lloor, "Would you bo so kind as to pick up that canl for me?" she Inquired of thu little, wo man nt lur right. "Cerialuly," said tho accommodating woman at thu right, picking up the eard. "You see," explained tho stout wo man aKilogetlcully, "I've got ou a brand now llfiy dollar corset, and I'm afraid I'll strain It If 1 lean over," "Hum!" commented the other wo man enviously, "If I had n fifty dol lar corset I'd wear It ou the outside.

During Grant's first term his secre tary of the navy, Ilorie, for n tlmo turned tho nctunl administration over to Admiral Porter. Admiral Porter was n sailor In the strict etymological sense of tho term In tlint ho believed there was nothing like sails. As soon ns he was In authority he cntiBod the four bladed propellers of the vessels to be removed nnd replaced by two bladed ones In order that the ships might maneuver better under sail. Tho Inclllclency thereby brought nbout is, nf course, nppnrcnt to nny engineer, ns tho size of the propeller opening wns fixed nnd tho two bladed screw could not bo mndo largo enough. A few yenrs Inter In n report to tho department ho ijctually claimed that tho vessels were fnster under Btcnin with tho mutilated screws. Tho facts, of course, wore Just tho reverse, nnd when his Influence be en mo less proper propellers were ngnln fitted. This wns when ho wns still in his prime nnd ills Judgment wns, nt least, not Impaired by nge. About twenty years Inter, when tho Iloncn cruisers were being built, the denr old mnn, then over seventy, went beforo the naval committee nnd snld that tho Plans of theso vessels were wrong bo causo they had only nuxlllnry sail liowcr. In his Judgment they should hnvo been given full sail power with steam ns nn nuxlllnry. He was still n sailor! Tho world hnd not moved for him. Engineering Mngnzlnc. The Desert Tortoise. Ono of the most Interesting reptiles of California's great desert Is tho ties crt tortoise. A writer In Suburbnn Llfo says: "I hnvo found ns many ns twonty of theso hard shelled fellows that wo usually associate In our minds with tho thought of wntcr In tho very henrt of the desert, whore the wntcr wns exceedingly scarce. Yet when you pick them up they generally void two or llireo largo spoonfuls or liquid, uis section shows tlint they each hnvo two largo water sacks ou tho bnck, nnd these nlTord them their wntcr supply. They nro grcnt travelers nnd enn walk faster than wc should lumglno. They nro also good climbers, I hnvo watch rd ono for hours climbing up nnd down tho rocky sides of n desert mouiitnlu. Hu could wrlgglo himself up to n rock almost ns high ns he wns long. Itnlslng himself on his tali end, hu would use his bend ns n nook then clnw with his right leg until It had secured n good hold, then, with what seemed lo mo extraordinary strength, he would lift himself up nnd wlgglo his body Into n secure post tloii." The Wise Eskimos. Everything In the Eskimo dress hns n reason for Its existence, writes Cap tnln Itonld Amundsen lu "The North west Passage." Tho memliers of Cap tain Amundsen's expeditious hnd bo come nccustomed to thu Eskimo dress and hnd adopted It, but many of them thought It ridiculous for grown up men to go nbout wearing fringe to their clothes, so they cut It off. I hnd my scruples nbout this, says tho author, ns t had nlrendy learned that most things lu tho Eskimo's clothing nnd other nrrnugumcnts had their dls tlnet meaning nnd purpose, so 1 kept my fringe nnd put up with tho ridi cule. Ho laughs best who Inuglis last. One flue day tho nnovnks, n sort of tunic renrhlug below tho knee, made nf deersktu, from which tho fringes had been cut off, commenced to curl up, nnd If tho fringe hnd not been put ou again quickly they would soon have looked like neckties.

An old toper, being very bard up, went Into his favorite bar and asked tho publican for a glass "ou tick." "No," said the proprietor, "I won't give you whisky on credit, but there's a sixpence. Now, what do you waut?" ".Nothing here." replied tho tippler, lifting thu colu nnd putting It In his pocket.

"For moro thnu thirty yenrs the most popular woodsman's bnnk In Mnlne wns a bnnk on two legs." says Major Holmes Day author of "King Spruce." "Until he 'wns over seventy yenrs old Uncle Nnte Swnu was con ductor ou tho Unngor nnd I'Iscntnquls rnllrond, running between the city and Moosehcad lake. With hltn rode the woods nud drlvlug crows. When they forgot themselves nnd made a racket on his train ho used to cuff them Into submission, nnd no man over raised his hnnd against Uncle Nnto. When tho men came out of tho woods with their pny most of them realized from bitter experience that tho city folks would get nil their money nwny from them lu n few days. As soon ns they would get nbonrd the train they would begin lo strip ten dollar bills off their rolls nnd band tho money to Uncle Nnto to 'sink' for them, banking It on call. They novcr forgot, nor did he, nnd In nil tho yenrs there wns never a dispute between Conductor Hwnn nnd nny of his depositors. When they enmo back on his train they were sure of enough money for their fnro nnd their tobneco nt tho lake outfitting store They wouldn't hnvo known very well whnt to do with more."

The privilege of marching through London with fixed bayonets Is enjoy' rd by but very fow regiments, such ns tho Itoynl fusllccrs, who trnco their origin to Cromwell's trained bands, which In later years produced so fa mous n cnptnln ns Joliu Gilpin.

"Thero Is n certain type of person," snld thu business man, "especially In New otk, who seems unnble to un dcrstnml what Is said to hi 111 or her unless the statement or remark Is pre fixed by somo catchword, usually the word 'listen.' "For Instance, I havo a stenographer who simply stares nt mo In dumb amazement If I sny nnythtug to her without first saying 'Now, listen.' If I begin to dletnto a letter to her sho will nut write a word If I forget to give that mental Jog. When I snap that at her she will scratch llko mad. She Is uot the only one.
