FOR 23^ THE GREAT ATLANTIC &PACIFIC ?oft MIDDLE WESTERN DIVISION Objected to Shaving by Monkey Apprentice Sir Harry Lauder kt Urnd of telling the following story: The sailor son of an Arbroath 'bar- / ber had brought home with him a large, hairy, and particularly ugly monkey, which he presented to his father. The barber trained the monkey to assist him In the lathering of his customers' chins, much to their amusement. One day a stranger dropped Into the shop, and had a good look at the .monkey sitting in a far corner staring Intelligently at a comic paper. By and by the barber was called to the door to answer some query or other, and in his absence the monkey seized the lathering brush and proceeded to work diligently on the customer's face. Afterwards he grabbed a razor and started to strop it with equal diligence, but in a grossly careless manner. Then he clambered up on the arm of the chair and made as if to begin shaving the alarmed customer. "No, na, ma wee niannie!" said the latter, Jumping to his feet and pushing the monkey aside. "I've no objections to ye *oapin' me, an' yer stroppin' maybe a' rlcht, but yer' father'll hae to do the shaviu'!" • ^ Eskimo Musicians Not Enthusiastic About The Eskimo must be 'the great music-lover, it is said of him that he will sit on his native ice for hours listening to the graphophone. His own music he makes on an instrument which consists of a skin tightly stretched over the frame of a hoop-- half drum and half tambourine. Eight players of eight of these instruments make an Eskimo orchestra. With each man striking the one note of his Instrument with a rod, the eight notes Of the octave are produced. Also, the musician sings as he plays. Needless to say, the people nourished on this music are amazed by the more civilized music, and it is said of them that they greatly appreciate graphophone records of singers. Strangely enough, too, they prefer most other music to Jazz. Alltiqae Dealers' Tribaaa) One of the strangest tribunals in England sits at regular intervals in a upper room In St. James' street West, in the center of the great art world of London. It is the antique dealers' "High Court of Justice," to which any of the 550 members of the British Antique Dealers' association has the right to appeal. Its Judges, who sometimes number as many as 20, include some of the world's greatest experts on precious stones, old china, tapestries, pictures and antique furniture. Disputes arising out of the sale of an antique of more than ordinary importance are often referred to the court for arbitration, and if they think At, the judges have the right to call in independent art experts. It is to protect the interests of antique dealers and safeguard the honor of their industry that this tribunal has been established.--Hartford Courier. The Prize "Howler" The prize "howler" must surely be attributed to the boy who suggests that "the Kodak la the Bible of the Mohammedans." Here are others: . ."A fissure is a man who sells fish."

"Bacchus first taught the Greeks to jget drunk." "Apollo was the king of table\raters." "Sheakespeare lived at .

The gallants of Alexandria let people know when they were coming, the London Macaroni of the Eighteenth century wore heel-tips that clinked, and a Northampton boot manufacturer says that some of his West Indian orders used to stipulate that the boots must squeak!

HAXEY Dead Letters THE receipt of unbelievably large numbers of letters addressed to individuals and concerns which eould not be located at the address given and could not be returned to the writers because no return address was, given, led the Post Office department,, as far back as 1825, to establish a dead-letter office in Washington forthe purpose of working out a proper: disposition of such mail. Incidental-j ]y, the large amount of money found in unclaimed letters likewise led to the establishment of our present postal^ : money order system in 1864. But the flood of undeliverable letters continued to increase at an alarming rate and the establishment; of the parcels post made matters* worse so that several branch offices had to be opened. Undeliverable letters are opened and destroyed unless they contain something of value or information making;;; their return to the writers possible.' tThose containing anything of obvious. >-alue are held for one year awaiting » Claim, after which time, if unclaimed, the contents become government prop-, erty. Letters carrying name and ad-"; dress of sender are returned. Unde-' liverable' parcels are held for a time1 and finally disposed of at public auc- j tion. During a recent year, the postmaster s general reported the disposition of 24,-; 056.982 undeliverable letters; 3,952,-. 074 being delivered, 19,810,020 de-a stroyed, 80,027 filed awaiting claim.
