The party is said to have been a very successful one, both from a social and a financial standpoint. Mr. and Mrs. Carver and Mrs. McTaggart returned to Bemidji on the Sunday morning train. Childria and uanay. Give children plenty of pure sugar, taffy and butter scotch and they’ll have little need of cod llver oil, says Dr. Woods Hutchinson in Woman’s Home Companion. In short, sugar is, after meat, bread and Dbutter, easily our next most important and necessary food. You can put the matter to a test very easily. Just leave off the ple, pudding or other desserts at your lunch or midday dinner. You'll be as- tonished to find how quickly you’'ll feel “empty” again and how *“unfin- ished” the meal will seem. You can't get any workingman to accept a din- ner pail without ple in it. And he’s absolutely right, The only thing that can take the place of sugar here is beer or wine. It is a significant fact that the free lunch counters run in connection with bars furnish every imaginable thing except sweets. Even the restaurants and lunch grills at- tached to. saloons or bars often refuse to serve desserts of any sort. They know their business! The more sugar and sweets a man takes at a menl the less alcohol he wants. Conversely. nearly every drinking man will tell you that he has lost his taste for sweets. The mere candy a nation con- sumes, the less alcohol. Tho Mayor of Berlin. One of the principal requirements of a mayor in Germany is unqualified hon- esty, for in the municipal administra- tlon of Germany graft In any form would not be tolerated. To become the moyor of a city like Berlin the ap- plicant must have established his repu- tation for efficiency in governing other German cities. His career is carefully serutinized by the members of the town council who select him, for not only must he be competent and suc- cessfully perform the duties of his highk position, but still so young as likely to remain competent for many years, for a mayor in Prussia is elected for a term of twelve years and If not re- elected after that period is entitled to a life pension of half the amount of his salary. After a service of six years his pension is one-fourth of his salary and after serving twenty years two- thirds. He need not necessarily ‘be a resident of Berlin at the time of his appointment—in fact, the mayor is usu- ally chosen from the residents of other cities. . Culture In West Africa.

A distinguished actor was one time engaged at one of our leading provin- cial theaters in a drama in which he attempts an escape from a convict pris- on, first by grtting rid of his fetters by means of a dle and lastly by getting over the prison wall. " In the act of dolng this he is shot at by a warder and killed. One particular night the drama had run its usual course up-to the point where the actor attempts the escape over the prison wall, The warder, as usual, presented his rifle, but instead of a loud report nothing but a faint clicking sound was heard. The rifle was lowered and after a brief delay again pointed, but with the same dis appointing result. The audlence now began to hiss and Jeer. The disgusted actor then got off the prison wall and, staggering toward the footlights, exclaimed, “It’s all up- I’ve swallowed the file!”” and fell prone on the stage amid the laughter and ap- plause of the audience. — Pearson’s Weekly. Bachelor Seal 8kin. “This skin,” sald the furrier, “came from a young seal bachelor, a youth ignorant of love and of life.” “How do you know?” the lady asked. “By its fineness, its perfection,” he replied. “The pile, you will note, is like close cut velvet. Only bachelor seal skins have such a pile. “The bachelor seal,” he went on, “has a rather sad life. The big bull seals In the seal islands have each-a household of fifteen or twenty wives, but the young bachelors must herd by themselves. Let one of them at- tempt to marry and straightway a bull slays him. Not till he is big enough to fight and conquer a bull—not till he is fourteen or fifteen years old—can he know the delight of settling down in a home of his own. . “He leads a hard, ascetic, celibate life, only in the end as like as not to make a lady a very fine coat. All the very fine coats, I repeat, are made from the unhappy bachelor seals.”—Cinc¢innati Enquirer. Jack Tar and the Actor. -A famous Irish actor of the eight- eenth century named John Moody early in life, before he went on the stage, had been to Jamaica and work- ed his passage home as a sallor before the mast. One night some time after he had been engaged at Drury Lane ‘when he was acting Stephano in “The Tempest” a sailor in the front row of the pit got up and, standing upon the seat, hallooed out, “What cheer, Jack Moody—what cheer, messmate?” This unexpected address rather as- tonished the audience. Moody, how- ever, stepped forward and, recognizing the man, called out: “Tom Hullett, keep your jawking tacks aboard. Don’t disturb the crew and passengers. When the show is over make sail for the stage door, and we’ll finish the evening over a jug of punch. But till then, Tom, keep your locker shut.” Moody, it is related, was as good as his word. —Cornhill Magazine. 4 Exchanging Amenities. A blatant sample of the loud voiced, self consclous, look-at-me variety of man took his seat in a bus and called to the conductor: “Does this bus go all the way?’ “Yes, sir,” responded the conductor politely. “Does it go as far as Oxford street?|~ I want to get out there.” “Yes, sir,” was the reply. “Well, T want you to tell me when we get there. You'd better stick a stamp on your nose or put a straw in your mouth or tie a knot in one of your lips, so that you won’t forget it.” “It would not be convenient for one in my position to do s80,” said the con- ductor courteously, “but if you will kindly pin your ears round your neck I think I shall remember to tell you.”— London Scraps. The Sins of Hatters. If any ttadesman has a lot to answer for it is surely the hatter. He will most- unblushingly tell you that a cer- tain type of hat Is suited to your par- ticular style of beauty, knowing that the Information is false, and all the while you have a dull suspicion that you don’t look well in it. Yet you are obliged -to believe him. His persuasive powers are so cultivated that I firmly believe he would make a dwarf think himself “a fine figure of a man.”— Fry’s Magazine.
