A Scot and his friend were spend- ing a few days sightseeing in London. While crossing one of the busy thor- oughfares near Trafalgar Square the friend had the misfortune to be run over. Sandy was very excited, so much, indeed, that one of the bystand- ers asked him if the victim was a near relative. A unique way to preserve old photos is as follows: Put the photographs in- to clean hot water; very soon the pictures lqosen and may be easily re- moved from the cards.

Of course you know that iron will sink in water. because it is so much heavier, but if it is very small and highly polished. as in the form of a new needle, you can lay it gently on the surface of a basin of water and it will. float. If you will rub the needle with a toy magnet before placing it on the water the needle will not only float, but will gradually work its way round until it lies due north and south.

It is no uncommon sight to see a woman with a cask of wine upon her head, and the material for making the roads is often carried in the same v vb- 'JVAI. In the mountainous districts the wo- men of Italy carry everything imagin- able upon their heads. They use a piece of cloth, generally a brightly- colored handkerchief, which they twist into a ring-like mat, placing it on the top of the head.

A second concert was arranged, after which the Prussian king himself gave the artist a snuff box filled with ducats and added, “You are so magnificently lav- ish that I should prefer on this occa- sion to .earn the gratuity myself.” On hearing of this Frederick Wil- liam was indignant and complained to Augustus of the impudence of his fiddler. Augustus. however, pointed out that an artist of the eminence of Locatelli was accustomed to receiving presents of gold watches, snuff boxes and diamond rings. The artist sentmt'he king his homage and'thanks. but handed the money as a gratuity to the servant who had brought it. “The fellow looks like a minister of war at least!” the king ejaculated. But, wishing to be civil, he sent him 20 t_h-alers by a servant. VI “U vwllb‘bu to listen to thiéflfifisttvwho appeared in a coat of blue velvet embroidered with silver. In Berlin asseiuhlies and dinner parties were often given, and the king was a frequent guest at the houses of the foreign envoys and at the houses of his own subjects.
