| DAYBREAK IN THE CATSKILLS ® e : - Delicate Streak of Lavender Bespeaks the New Day—Silence Interrupted ; by a “Whippoorwill.”

The clock on the mantel strikes four. The only other sound is a momentary gnawing of wood by a field mouse somewhere on the roof. A delfcate streak of lavender bespeaks the day, and the clock ticks on. Agzain the hour strikes, and the narrow strip of lavender has widened. The deep blue of the night clouds has

turned to soft gray, outlining a low ridge' of mountains on the opposite side of the valley. The rich liquid note of a thrush rings through the stillness, then pauses, and all is quiet

save the ticking of the clock. As the light increases, the sweet song of the thrush continues, interrupted only by an emphatic “Whippoorwill,” repeated rapidly, andragain there is silence. In the distance, a crow calls his flock to early matins. Somewhere in a nearby pine tree a red squirrel burrs and a chipmunk chips. Down iu the meadow, far, far below, the tirkling

of a cowbell announces the awakening of farm life. A gentle breeze rustles

the foliage of some young oaks near the window, while the full melody of the thrush welcomes the rising sun. CURE FOR SEA SICKNESS Origin of the Game of Mah Jongg Three Thousand Years Ago Told . in Chinese Legend. ' Some 3,000 years ago, according to the legend, there was a fisherman named Sze who %ived on the shores of the East Chien lake near Ningpo. Sze’s family had considerable wealth, and they backed him in the purchase of several boats.

Then he employed a hundred fishermen from other villages. All went well until the wind began to blow, for all of the fishermen were “land” fishermen. They became Beasick and had to be taken ashore.-: :

A family council was held, and it was decided that seasickness was mereIy a matter of the mind. Therefore the thing to do was to devise some Junethod for getting the men’s minds off their mal de mer. Fisherman Sze and his brothers then thought long and seriously, and the result was a game which they called Mah Diau. So there one has the origin of “Mah Chang,” “Mah Choh,” “Mah Jongg,” “Mah Juck,” “Pe Ling,” “Pung Woo,” “Mah Cheuk,” or whatever you desire to call this game of the anclent Chinese. 5 : !

‘Thoreau an Independent Man. ~Thoreau was never married. He was a solitary man. ' -The chief element in his character was independence. He must live his own life and go his own way. He said: “Nothing is so much to be feared: as fear.. The sin that God hates is fear; He thinks atheism innocent in comparison. S

He wrote in his diary: “If I do not keep step with others it is because I hear a different drummer. Let a man step to the music which he hears, however measured and however far away.” . ’ : He went to jail because he would not pay his poll tax, on the ground that the government supported slavery.. No one wanted to arrest him. The man who took him in custody offered to pay the tax.—Ladies’ Home Journal. .

Turbans and Nests. The turban is a fashionable headdress in Burma, and each girl eagerly looks forward to the time when it will be her privilege to swathe her head in yards and yards of dark cloth. But, until she has found a young man who is willing to build hér a bamboo house and to raise rice for her, she cannot wear this coveted headdress. Because among the Kachins unmarried girls are not permitted to wear a turban nor do they let their hair grow long. They wear bobbed hair and have done so for centuries. But the ‘day a Kachin girl is married she lets her hair grow and binds It up with the turban, which she wears with pride. For the turban marks her as a married woman. . : Ll e iEn i L Strictly Out of It ; Ephraim had put om a clean collar and’ his best coat and was walking majestically up and down the street. ~ “Aren’t you working today, Ephraim?” asked one of his acquaintances, “No, suh.

FIRST OF POETS . LAUREATE Ben Jonson’s Eminent Services to Literature Caused James | : to Honor Him. e The announcement that England’s poet laureate, Robert Bridges, is to come to the University of Michigan as fellow of the creative arts prompts one to a study of the origin and history of the English laureateship. .

- It was because of his eminent services to literature that in 1616—some authorities say 1619—James I granted to Ben Jonson letters patent making him poet laureate. Charles I had been king for five years when in -1630 he issued new letters to Jonson, which for the first time made the laureateship a permanent Institution. . An institution, somewhat like the laureateship, calculated to encourage literature and develop the mnational language, is traced to the reign of Henry 111, when a yearly salary of 100 shillings was given to Henry D'Avranches, and he has therefore been called the pioneer laureate. But this is mere tradition. : ' , :

When Jonson was reappointed poet laureate by Charles I the annual pension was Increased to £lOO and a butt of wine from the king’s cellars. Before Jonson's time, however, there were court poets who sang the vlaises of their soverelgns, who celebrated in heroi¢c verse the victories which exalted the nation, and who were rewarded for their services with pensions and emoluments.—Detroit News. DICE USED BY THE ANCIENTS Pieture on Pottery of Men Playing With Cubes in New Mexico : Valley. .

‘How a vanished race which once lived In the isolated Rio Mimbras valley of Southern New Mexico “shot craps” has been revealed by prehistoric pottery dug @p near Deming: In a scientific report just issued by the Smithsonian institution Dr. J. Walker Fewkes of the bureau of American ethnology describes crockery showing scenes of and figures from the daily life of a people whose very existence was doubted until a few years ago. On the bottom of & broken jar there is a.gambling scene representing three men playing a game with dice, the spots on which can be plainly seen.

. This artistic work was accomplished in an isolated valley whose rivers have no outlet to the sea.- It lies midway between the Pueblo and Mexican region, and shows affinities with the culture of both.—Detroit News. . ‘

Ancient Mode of Torture.

Breaking on the wheel was a horrible mode of putting to death by torture formerly in use in Europe. The condemned criminal was first fastened to two pieces of wood in the form of a St. Andrew’s cross, with his legs and arms extended, and had the bones of his shins and thighs and the fore and upper arms broken with blows with a bar of iron. After that he was attached to a small carriage wheel balanced on a stake, and allowed to suffer in this position till he died, sometimes several days after the breaking of his limbs. Later the punishment was so.far mitigated that the criminal was put to death by a final blow on the breast, spine or neck before being exposed on the wheel, and sometimes he was strangled before even the breaking of his limbs took place. The torture was last used in Prussia about 1811, :

John Bull Abroad. : A Frenchman now in this country tells of the discovery in Paris of the most “nervy” of all tourists, an Englishman, who entered a well-knowa cafe, accompanied by two little girls, ordered a bottle of mineral water and three plates, and began to eat sandwiches, which he had brought with him in his pocket. = The manager, overcome by this out.. rage, approached the Briton, and said: “I should like to inform you that this is not a—" * “Who are you?’ interrupted the Englishman. f “I am the manager.” : “Oh,. you are the manager, are you? That is good. I was just going to send. for you. Why isn’t the band playing ?’—Harper’'s Magazine,

His Duty. It was the witching hour of night when house guests yawn and bridge fans fighf. The streets were almost deserted. Few pedestrians were abroad.

Just the same, I am going after my wife.” _

Put a Fence Around It.

The man who had forgotten to bring any literature on his three hours’ railway Journey contemplated the shortsighted man who was reading a newspaper. f ‘,

“Would you mind lending me your spectacles?’ he: asked, politely. ' The ‘short-sighted man nodded affably. ! “Certalnly, certainly,” he assented, handing over his glasses. - “And now, sir,” .said the traveler, pocketing them, “since you can neo longer see to read, would you kindly lend me your paper?”’ '
