PARISIAN BEGGARS. Cl.v.r Rogue* Who Study th. Weak Point, of Th.ir Victim.. An accomplished tneudlcnnt, like n clever salesman, stud lee his customers, discovers their weak points if he can and trades upon them. In this relation it is of interest to note the skillful method, whereby a certain class ot Parisian beggars play upon the super stitlons of their victims. There is a common saying in France that giving alms brings good fortune, a saying that has not been overlooked by the Parisian beggnr. If one visits the Sorbonne on the days of examination for the bachelor’s degree he will see an interesting sight The collegians approach, ench with his diction ary under his arm, on his way to make the famous Latin version, on the success of which all his future depend* A crowd nr tuwrcars snrrnnnd them. “A son, monsieur; a morsel of bread," the beggar will say to a collegian. “It will bring you happiness.” The candidate hurries on. “You will be blackballed, monsieur,” the beggnr continues. This sinister prediction always takes effect The collegian pulls out bis purse, and the beggar turns away, chuckling. A similar acene may be witnessed at the Hotel de Ville on the days of examination for certificate of ability for teaching. When there are no examinations tn progress there may be races, and to them go the beggars. for gamesters end sporting men are notoriously superstitious.—Washington Star. WIGS, HOODS AND CAPS. Shape*, Color, and Bigmficanoe of Old Egyptian Headgear. The reliefs and paintings on the wails of the tombs and temples of the Egyp Un ns show that that race of people wore thick and elegnut headdresses Hnts with brims were apparently mi known. Their headgear consisted of wigs, hoods and caps. “The wigs were very likely made of hair or tow. for their great else could not have been made by dressing of a person’s own hair; the caps were also very large and high and made of material which as to its kind can only be guessed at,” says Charles E. Eeater in a history and development of hats and bead gear. •The largest were cupola shaped, and theh* use was probably confined.’’ he further way*. “to those of royal blood They were yellow, white and red. It is supiioeed that the yellow ones were made of brass and were a kind ot helmet, that the white was the crown of upper Egypt and the red the crown of lower Egypt The peebeut, a cotnbiuation of the white and red. was considered as the symbol of the rale over the land. Lower flat crowned caps were worn both alone and over a hood, and sometimes with a strap under the chin to bold the headpiece in place. The huge wigs were probably worn upon the shaven beads, as ft to supposed that the clean shaven head was as prevalent tn Egypt a. it is now in tropical Asia.” A Rwion For Tears. An amusing story about Dr. Archibald Pi teal me, the physician. Jacobite and scholar, is told by Francis Watt in "The Book- of Edinburgh Anecdote.” Dr. Pitcalme was no‘ often a churchgoer. but on one occasion he took refuge In a church from a shower of rain The sermon was commonplace, but the preacher was emotional, and he wept copiously and, as it seemed to PitC'lrne, irrelevantly. He turned to the only other occupant of the pew. a stolid countryman, and whispered, “What on earth gars the men greet (weep)?" “You would maybe greet yourself,” was the solemn answer, "if you was up there end bad as little to say.” Ce”.u.

38 PER CENT EXTRA POWER. FROM THIS WONDERFUL MOTOR. it delivers 38 per eent. more horse power than the rating Engineering Authorities give motors of the same displacement. ..This is because no energy is dissipated into , the muffler. Little turns into heot. The power the motor develops all reaches tnc rear wheels. WE OURSELVES MAKE S 3 PER CENT OF THIS NEW CAR. We make our own motor in our own shops. The same thing is true ot every vital part of tha car like the rear axle, the clutch, transmission and stearing gear. Lamps, fenders and titlings we design tor this car and have specialists make them. Bui that b» only 5 per cent ot the car's cost. The Apperson “Jack Rabbit” is not an assembled car. ..Thus we do away with the chance the assembled car maker takes— the chance you take on bis car. For we know exactly that each Apperson is 100 per cent right before it leaves the factory. MYRIAD OTHER ADVANCEMENTS. The new "45" has also a cowl dash. All buttons and switches are at your finger tips. You need not even bend over to operate them. At no Mt re cost we equip the car with aa electro* horn.
