SCRAP BOOK DESPISED SCHOOLMASTERS. Greek teachers in classic times had little liberty, poor remuneration, and they enjoyed a correspondingly low scale of social recognition. It is not easy to understand why this should have been the case; but the fact is attested by many of their own poets and orators, who from 400 B. C. to 200 A. D. allude contemptuously to them as little better than social pariahs. One piquant quotation from the satirical poet, Lucian, well illustrates the view point. He imagines that a deceased friend comes back to pay him a visit. Lucian inquires of him in what esteem those whose tombs, embellished with elaborate sculpture and glowing inscriptions, testify to the respect in which they were held while on earth, are regarded in Hades? The ghost replies: "You never laughed so heartily as you would do if you saw the way we treat those who have been princes and governors. They are now miserable beggars, reduced to the company of those who hawk salt fish or who teach the alphabet to children!" ELEPHANTS LIKED MUSIC. A ship with a cargo of 40 elephants was anchored off the coast of Zanzibar, East Africa, in a perfectly smooth sea. A phonograph belonging to the sailors began playing the air, "Everybody's Doing It." Gradually the ship began to roll back and forth, and soon was dipping dangerously, as though in a violent storm. There was a general alarm on board and the captain ordered an investigation of the remarkable phenomenon. It was found that the 40 elephants were swinging their trunks in unison with the music, and swaying back and forth. The huge beasts seemed to be enjoying it immensely. The ship was riding light, with no other cargo, and the rolling of the vessel became so great that there was danger of it turning clear over. The music was stopped, the attendants hurried down and with much shouting and thumping managed to stop the dangerous amusement. INGENIOUS SWINDLERS. A man who once had his hour of fame, or rather infamy, has died at the age of eighty, at Quimper, France. Half a century ago he was the clerk of a notary of the district, whom he used to accompany to the houses of those who on their death beds had summoned his employer to make their will. His procedure was a follows. He used, in collusion, of course, with the notary, to crawl under the bed of the dying and often unconscious testator, and, being an expert ventriloquist, reply to the lawyer in the words the latter had dictated to him. Time and again the ruse succeeded, and by its means wills were falsified to the benefit of the fraudulent notary and the would-be heirs who had bought his services. Finally the trick was discovered, and the notary was condemned to 20 and his clerk to 10 years' penal servitude. DAIRYING IN THE OLD WAY AND THE NEW ESTIMATED PRESENT COST OF BUILDING A PYRAMID. A contractor with a head for figures and building estimates has worked out that the Cheops pyramid, in Egypt, could not be duplicated for less than $100,000,000. With modern machinery and the employment of 40,000 stonecutters, haulers, quarrymen. masons and laborers, a duplicate of the pyramid could be erected in two years. It has been calculated that the work really required the services of 100,000 men for 30 years. The Cheops pyramid occupies a space of 127 acres, and is 746 feet high. LARGEST COLLIERY. Ashington colliery, Northumberland, England, is claimed to be the largest In the world. The royalties held by the company covered an area of miles. There are seven winding shafts, capable of turning out from 11,000 to 12,000 tons of coal per day. tho average daily output at present being ,000 tons, and the wages bill ranges from $125,090 to $150,000 fortnightly.

WHERE NO -FLIES EXIST t The United States consul at Prague, Bohemia, has from time to time received letters from manufacturers of various' sorts of fly paper who wish to extend their trade. To these the consul replies that there are not sufficient nies in Bohemia to exterminate. "Screen doors to keep out flies and other inescts are unknown. The buildings are all constructed of brick, stone or concrete. The docks along the river front are of granite. The pavements and sidewalks are made of granite glocks. There are no wooden sidewalks, stairways or buildings In the city. Decayed vegetable or anithe matter Is not openly exposed to files, and the streets are frequently cleaned during each day. There are no open drains in the city to attract and breed flies. I can only ascribe tho absence of flies," concludes the consul, "to the lack of breeding places."

BANK NOTE 500 YEARS OLD A Chinese bank note which is more than 500 years old, came into the hands of the official in charge of the subtreasury at New York recently. It was offered for deposit and exchange, with other Chinese currency, by a local Chinese firm of importers. The note was issued during the Mink dynasty, in the reign of the Emperor Tai-Tsee, who occupied the throne from 1368 to 1399. The face value of the note was one kwan, or a string of cash which would be less than 12 cents in our money. ' LEFT HIS TRUNK FOR BOARD A farmer and his wife of New York were appealed to by a belated traveler for lodging. He had gotten a "lift" for himself and trunk up the road so far and "no farther," and as the night was stormy, the appeal carried. He stayed long enough to be proven without funds and no agricultural talents to make up the lack, so the staying on indefinitely was terminated. He left his trunk in lieu of payment for board and lodging, and after a few 7 ; HI II.!.' I' days a voyage of discovery as to its contents was decided upon, and to the horror of the woman who made the trip alone, a huge decorated snake lifted a cheerful countenance in surprised greeting. The sensation was mutual, and the lid went dowif with a band. The lodger was found to be a showman in hard luck, and the pet, a Rock Python, was sent to the Bronx ZOO. POPULARITY OF POST CARDS Some interesting particulars are published by the Postal union at Berne, Switzerland, relative to the circulation of post cards in different countries of the world. Germany leads the way with a million and a half per annum, a million being one thousand million. Japan follows with S94 millions, and Great Britain with 845 millions. For other countries the numbers given are as follows: Austria, 432 millions; Russia, 290 millions; Italy, 137 millions; Hungary, 113 millions. France only sends out thirty millions, probably on account of the high rate of postage ten centimes. TRAFFIC ON SUEZ CANAL Four thousand nine hundred and sixty-nine (4,969) vessels, of a net tonnage of 18,324,794 tons, passed through the Suez canal in 1911, as compared with 4,533 vessels of 16,5S1,S9S tons in 1910. The average net tonnage, which increases annually, is now nearly 3,690 tons. The percentage of British ships passing through the canal has risen to 62.2 per cent. as regards numbers and to G4 per cent, for tonnage. German vessels figure respectively at 13.4 and 15 per cent. SHORTEST COURTSHIP ON RECORD. The following account of the shortest courtship on record was given by counsel in the London law courts: On January 17 he proposed to her and on the following day, before the doors were open, they were at Doctors' Commons to obtain a license. They took a taxi from Doctors' Commons to find whether a curate was at leisMre. The curate was found, and by two o'clock that day they were married. FAST SHORTHAND. Nathan Behrin claims the championship of the world as the best and fastest shorthand writer. He is an official stenographer at the New York supreme court, and in a competition there recently, it is reported, took dictation for five minutes at the rate of 2S1 words a minute, with only 17 errors. About 20 stenographers competed with Behrin. WENT DEEP INTO OCEAN. New records for depth were established by the United States submarine boat F-l during a six-hour submerged cruise in San Francisco bay this fall. The boat went down to a depth of 2S3 feet. The vessel maintained this depth for ten minutes while traveling at a speed of six knots; then, rising to a depth of nineteen feet, it proceeded at a speed of eight knots. The previous record w&i 256 ftet

STOCKHOLM BEAUTIFUL CITY Busy Commercial Metropolis of Sweden Has Most Picturesque Surroundings.

Stockholm, Sweden. Stockholm has the appearance of a beautiful, pleasure resort instead of a busy commercial city of several hundred thousand inhabitants. The king of Sweden's palace lies on an island between Lake Maler and the Baltic sea. Entrance to it can be obtained with difficulty. The visitor Is courteously showa through a labyrinth of state apartments, suite succeeding suite, containing priceless tapestries, marvelous china, pictures and portraits, statues, vases and bric-abrac, the gifts of Napoleon the Great, the third Napoleon, the Russian czars, the emperor of Japan and many other notable people. All the rooms have splendidly painted ceilings, heavy crystal candelabra and huge mantelpieces made of Dresden china a bewildering wilderness of curious and beautiful things which it would take days to explore thoroughly. One of the chief pleasures of a sojourn in Stockholm comes from the Stockholm Suburban Residence. numerous steamer trips which can be made in a day to some one or other of the many islands lying between the city and the open sea. On these islands, divided by narrow channels of deep, still water, opening out here and there into lakelike lagoons or wider riverlike spaces, and with shores all clothed with pines to the "water's edge, the people live their summer life. On the banks are many pretty villas with tiny landing stages among rocks which rise sheer out of fathom deep water. Some of the little islands are joined to larger ones by picturesque bridges, while red and white and green restaurants are set about among the pine trees. Surpassing all other beauty is the indescribable northern twilight with its wonderful tender blue shot through with glowing pink. The light is clear and bright, so much so that one can see everything distinctly, can read and write with ease, and yet it is not daylight, nor could it be mistaken for such. One can sail in and out for many hour3 between the islands before reaching the open Baltic with its crisp waves and rougher water. SAILS WITH $50,000 FORTUNE Jersey City Woman, Once Called Demented, Subject of Prayers by Friends as Steamer Departs. New York. Surrounded by a throng of fashionably dressed men and women bidding one another adieu, and with stewards rushing here and there bearing great bunches of American Beauty roses and baskets of fruit for favored voyagers, a little band of missionaries held a prayer meeting in one of the drawing rooms of the steamship Kronprinzessin Cecilie just before the liner sailed recently, as a fitting observance of the departure of Miss Anna Vreeland of 137 Grand avenue, Jersey City, who was taking her fortune of $50,000 with her to found a missionary home in India. It was only a short time ago that relatives of Miss Vreeland, who is 50 years old, instituted proceedings to have a lunacy commission appointed to examine "her as to her sanity. She was possessed of $50,000 in property, which had been in her family for 250 years. A physician, to whom final judgment was left, said she was not insane, but that he thought she was eccentric. IS DIVORCED BY A LETTER Wife Loses Industrious Husband When She Meets a Politician He Mourns a Good Saver. Heading, Pa. Charles A. Hamm of Reading has been granted a divorce from his wife, Anna, now a student nurse in Philadelphia. The couple lived happily until the wife, while on a visit to a sister in Philadelphia, happened to meet a politician, afterward writing him a letter, which fell into the hands, of the husband. In the evidence it was hinted that before the husband received this letter he did all the housework, including scrubbing, sweeping and ironing, and gave his wages, $90 per month, to the wife. The pretty wife, on the other hand, during the seven years of married life saved the $3,400 necessary to buy the house in which they lived. Australia to Save Giant Trees. Melbourne. A popular movement has been set on foot in Australia to preserve the gigantic stringy barks, rarious species of eucalyptus, of that country, which far exceed in height the famous "big trees" of California and are the tallest trees in the world. These trees sometimes attain heights ranging from 400 to 500 feet. Their timber is exceedingly valuable and for this reason they have been ruthlessly destroyed by lumbermen, whilfc no proper steps n been taken to provide for thah reduction.
