"You could not play' on It, lenst wttys, not as It Is," replied the own er, "for It's full of books. .Tint," he bawled, "where's the Inside of this piano?" And Jim's voice from upstairs, .re plied: "Ain't It out In the gnrden?" Etiquette In Mexico. Travelers through Mexico report ninny peculiar customs which reflect the temperament of 4he people. Some of these are founded upon supersti tions hundreds of ytjurs old while oth ers date from more recent days. There Is a prevailing belief In the couutry that there Is bad luck In a sequence of threes and wherever possible the combination of three Is avoided. This Is shown very often to persons strange to the land In (he lighting of a cig arette. In the United States one often sees three men light their pill from one match. It would be a gross Insult In Mexico to offer n man a light from a mutch that had nlrendy started two cigarettes going. Instead one must blow out the match and give him light from the Ignited coffin nail. Frogs That Have Hair. "Finer than frog hair" litis long been a slang method of expressing the su perlative degree. Doubtless no one ever gave It a thought whether frogs have hair or not. - Probably no one ever renllzed .they did until Trof. G. A. Boulenger discovered In the Ger mnn Congo frogs thnt had growing upon rhelr bodies either hair or a very good Imitation of It. It has since de veloped that anatomically It la not hair, In the sense In which that term npplles to mammals. Our own hair Is akin to finger nails; It Is a horny growth, whereas the "hair" on the African frogs Is an abnormal devel opment of the tubercles that appear on the skin of the ordinary frog. The ordinary person, however, who places appearance above origin, will doubtless call It "hair." Journal Want Ads Pay ADVERTISED LETTERS. Advertised July ,10. 1 9R Anderson. A. N.
