A Missing Loaf. That ordinary care which is taken by the Japanese in their very exact "flower arrangemen ” is illustrated by an incident related by Frederic S. Isham, the author. He was present at a demonstration in Kyoto or the art of placing flowers. leaves. and branches together in an artistic man- her. At one point a little maid ap- parently offended the “master” deeply. He spoke to her and ended by order. ing her to retire. She did so. prob- ably the most broken hearted girl in Kyoto, and the master proceeded to alter her work. The American. who had seen nothing wrong. ventured to ask what was the matter. whereupon he was informed that she had placed twelve leaves in a certain combina- tion instead of thirteen. Twelve, it seems, was the right number 200 years ago. but thought, study, medita- tion and prayer had led to the discov- ery that not twelve, but thirteen, was the correct number for the artistic effect of that particular arrangement; This may seem a trifling alteration, but it suggests Michelangelo’s retort, in which 'he pointed out the relation between trifles and perfection. Test For Stutterers. A new method of voice control was tried by the lifelong stutterer. In a few lessons the impediment in speech W218 overcome. “That’s fine." said a candid friend. “Now I Wish you would take a bit of advice. You talk all right today, but just keep a watch on yourself and see how you talk this time next week.” 1.. “You’re a wet blanket, all right,” growled the ex-stutterer. “What’s the matter with next Week?" “We’ll be in the full moon, then," said his friend. “It’s a fact that everybody who has ever stuttered stutters worse when the moon is full than at any other time. Until you get so you can talk smoothly then you can’t count yourself really cured.” The man with halting speech took notice, as advised. and found that several full moons waned before he could control his speech at that time. -â€"New York Times. Verifying His Statement. Old Mr. and Mrs. Smiley were giving their annual party. and Mr. Smiley was making his usual speech. “For fort} years have my good wife and I traveled hand in hand down life’s thorny path,” he said. “In all those that true, mother?” “Mother" had quietly fallen asleep on the sofa, and as he laid his hand caressingly on her shoulder she snorted defiantly and said sharply: “Get up yourself and light the fire.

Welsh is a marvelously expressive language. In a souvenir guide to Car- narvon there is a list of Welsh rail- way stations with their English equiv- alents. Here are some of them: Aber- gwynfi, entrance to the place of bliss; Amlwch. a place of frequent expan- sion; Cefn Brynich, the back of the screaking hill; Dowlais. the voice or God, and Llanbister, the manure yard road.” There is also one station the name of which runs to fifty-eight let. ters. Its meaning is merely, “The fair church at the pool of the white seagull near the alder grove where the fodder for the oxen is stored in the red barn." And surely teetotalism ought to flourish in a country where beer is known as “cwrW.”-Pall Mall Gazette. A Glimpse of Dr. Johnson. From Boswell’s “Life of Johnson:” “In one of Dr. Johnson’s manuscript diaries there is the following entry. which marks his curious minute atten- tion: ‘July 26, 1768â€"1 shaved my nail by accident in whetting the knife about an eighth of an inch from the bottom and about a fourth from the top. This I measure that I may know the growth of nails.’ And ‘Aug. 15. 1783. I cut from the vine forty-one leaves which weighed five ounces and a half and eight scruples. I lay them upon my bookcase. to see what weight they win lose by drying.’ ” The Lion Didn’t Roar. It is related that l’innow, the faith- ful servant and personal valet of Prince Bismarck, once trod on his master’s gouty foot. Instead of swear- ing at him or even declaring he was a clumsy fool, Bismarck. noticing that Pinnow himself was frightened. said° Consider yourself honored.
