SCULPTOR'S USE OF CEVMENT Qlaantlc Figure of Neptune Is Work of Art as Well at Architectural Curiosity. At Montorosso, near Hpczhi, Italy, there stands nn nrchltccluml curiosity n glgnnllc figure of Neptune, con structed of cement nml used In support the extreme end of n terrace for n sen- side villa. The house Is the Vllln Pun tine, nnd the statue Is thu work of Ar- rlgo Mlnerbl, a talented sculplnr of Itome. A smntl promontory on which the vllln Is built presented tunny dllllcul- tles to the architect, hut be Until!) sue ceeded In building there n very com modioli mid comfortable residence, rhu stntue, which Is wonderfully life like, Is about .'13 feet In height. The body, which, like the head, Is built of re-enforced cement, Is hollow, nnd con- tains n spiral stnlrcnse. Considering the nature of thu material with which Signer Mlnerbl bad to work, be Is to he congratulated on thu result of bis labors. "All For a Song." "Ho has sold his futtiru for n song" Jlhey said of n rich man's son who. In stead or inking nilvnniago or tun un usual opportunities open in him for a worth-wlillo career, wns wblllng nway his golden years on the (I rent While Way. "All fnr n song" has come (n menu to us "paying loo much for a whistle," any undue sacrifice or waste for miiiic- thing that Is worthless or only of transient moment, particularly thu superficial. It has cmno down to us from thu day when Its significance wns literal. Ah n token of her appreclnllon of ilio poet, Kdtiiund Spencer, Queen n- beth ordered Lord Hurleigh to present him Willi f,I(0, which In those days wns n small fortune. 1'pon thin Lord Hurleigh Is Mild to havu uxvlHlmvd "All this for n wrngl" Pcnn and Land Duylng. Tho story that William I'eun bought from thu Delaware Indians as much land as u dozen hulls' hides would cover nnd then cut them Into narrow strips in cunningly enable him o trick thu Indians by encircling a vast stretch of territory Is not true. This Is a very old story. It was told In remote times of Dido nf Carthago. Tho legend Is that Dido built that city after buying as lunch laud as a bullock' hide would cover. She cut thu hide Into strip-, getting a largo bit of real estate In tho traiiMtctlon.

Pertinent Questions. Among thu many Irish nnecdotos told by Canon llaunay, author of, sov ral books under tho pon-iinuio of Oeorgu Hlrmlughniu," Is tho follow. i iB. An Irish gentleman wnu nonm of tho death of n gruat enemy qf his. who had hummed him for many years. remarked : "Well, It's a comfort to think (hut the devil's got that follow at last," A clergyman who happened to bo present felt It his duty to re monstrate against this uuchnrilNblu lew of thu dead man's condition. He said ho hoped that. In spite of nil (but ad passed, tho poor man might have escaped tho extreme penulty. "Well,' retorted tho other, "If thu devil hasn't got Hint fellow, all I can say Is that don't seo much uso In keeping a devil ut nil." Rats as Food, Doctor Kane, the Arctic explorer, said that one of tho worst curoai In tho far North were tho rats that In fested his ship. Nevertheless, when In want of other food, ho was glad to eat them sometimes chopped up and frozen Into tallow balls. He wrote: "During tho long winter nights Hans beguiled bis hours of watch by shooting rats with how and arrow. The repugnance of my com panions to share with mo this table luxury gave me frequent advantage of fresh meat soup, which contributed no doubt to my comparative Immunity to scurvy."

Pnlolo. the most prized of all mistn- tory delicacies In Samoa, declared liy unorienus who have tried It to he sn lienor to the lobster. Is a murine worm, being rntber mysterious In tint I It Is never seen save on two or three nights In the entire year. Its appear mice aeeins to bo regulated by the moon. Tho pnlolo chooses the time for Its first appearance on the night when the October moon changes. When the moon rises (he sea Is seen to be alive with wriggling green and brown worms, some of them a yard or more In length. The unlives make a festival of tho occasion, going out with dip nets mining (he reefs nnd scooping up tho worms by the bushel. They pad die around In every available boat with lighted torches waiting for the moon, nnd then the scene becomes one of grout nnd Joyous excitement. The pnlolo comes once again when the November moon ipinrtcrs, and Is not seen again until the following year. It Is said to live In crannies of the coral reefs, coming to tho surfneo to spawn nt these lunar periods. Some of tho worms arc eaten ns they wiggle, but the bulk of the catch Is reserved for n big feast on tho following day, when they are wrapped In banana leaves nnd baked. YEAR ONCE BEGAN IN MARCH Change In Style May De Said to Date From 1752 Great Militant Events In Month. Few pcoplo know, or, If they do, liave forgotten, that March, and not .Innuary, at ono time was thu first month of thu year, remarks tho Chi cago Journal. For commencing tho year with March there seems to bo sulllclent reason In dm fact that tt in thu first season after thu "dead year," In which decided symptoms of growth take place. Tho nnino Is derived from tho Un mans, among whom It wns nt nn early period tho llrxt month of thu yenr, and continued to bo In several countries to n comparatively latu inalod, thu legal year beginning, even In KiiRlnnd, on March 'M, until tho change of stylo In 17M. For tho Itouuins to dedicate their first mouth In Mars nnd call It .Marlins seems equally natural, con sidering thu Importance they attached to war nnd thu uso they inaile of It. In the history of our own country April appears to carry off tho palm for Hie month In which grent militant events occurred, yet In the world war a number of epoch-making Incidents took place In March; for Instance, thu revolution In Itussla In MM 7, when Crur Nicholas abdicated on March in.

According to A. F.
