Girl of Century Ago
Lesson for Misers
and Today Compared
in Chinese Legend
An aged Chinese, noted far and
wide among bis neighbors for his
penuriousness, was one day discovered
running fruntlcally up and down In
front of his small hut, beating his
breast and crying out in doleful
lamentations.
“ Woe is me I" he cried, "woe Is me!
Some one lust night stole uway the
treusure which I had buried in my
gurden, and left a stone in its place.”
“ And why do you weep?” asked a
neighbor.
"You never used your
treasure. Bring yourself to believe,
that the stone Is s till your treasure,
and you w ill be us well off as you
ever were."
The neighbor was right. A buried
treifsure is of no more value to the
world thun a burled stone. One of
the pathetic truths o f life Is that so
many full to realize this fact. Had
the old miser been generous enough
to have shared his treasure with a
needy world, he could nt least have
had the comfort of knowing that many
would have Joined him In bewailing
his loss. But he had lost that which
was of value to no one. Not even
he himself had made use of It.
Ham and Eggs
A Hoosier wife was serving the cus­
tomary coffee nnd toast for brenkfast.
Tlie husband, who had recently re­
turned from a trip to the old horoe-
pluce In a neighboring state, was ta lk­
ing about the many changes that had
occurred.
" I suppose you had so little in com­
mon with the folk back there it was
dull,” said the wife.
"Dull? Not by a long shot. We bad
a great time talking about the days
of bam nml eggs for breaktast." re­
plied the vivacious husband.

We look back with amazement anil
pity at the woman of 1828, It Is said,
but, says the London Daily News, we
look with admiration also, for it is
out of their dreaming and striving
that our freedom has come. Poor Miss
1828 offers a striking contrast between
the young women of tbut day und
those of the present year.
Look at her standing there in her
stuffy thick clothing, her hideous
frilled “ pelisse” with its puffed sleeves,
her face hidden by an ungainly flap­
ping bonnet “ as large as an umbrel­
la.”
She has been grounded in the
principles of religion and morality.
Her bead is stuffed with Mungnull's
questions, her fingers are sore with
working •‘samplers,” her body is stiff
with that strange cult known us "de­
portment."
She is Just sixteen years old and
reudy to “ come out” to a life of so-
clal und domestic inanition.
When
she dances, it Is to pace soberly
through the measures of a minuet or
the quadrilles, for she has not yet
been Introduced to the “ sprightly
polku” or the glamorous waltz. L it­
tle wonder that she breaks the mo­
notony of her days by occasional tits
of hysterln or a graceful swoon.
She had her vanities, poor dear—
her looks were one of her few inter­
ests. She was ns frightened of corpu­
lence as is her modern sister, ltosy,
fresh cheeks were considered common,
und she deprived herself of adequate
food for fear of growing fat und "ma­
terial."

Greenland was originally colonized
by Scandinavians, about the year 1000,
but the colony dwindled und became
extinct shortly befoie 1500, owing
chiefly to the inrouds of the Eskimo.
The existing Danish colony was es­
tablished in 1721. The uborlglnes, says
the Smithsonian Institution, are all
of Eskimo stock and number altogeth-
er ubout 11,000. including a very large
proportion of mixed bloods, who, as a
rule, adhere to Eskimo customs and
language.
This number seems to be consider­
ably higher-than iu 1721, but the d if­
ference is largely. If not entirely, to
be accounted for by the Increase of
the mixed-blood stock from European
intermarriage.
