Carving Sclssors, " * F “I thought I knew all about scis- sors,” said the man. “I had seen tail- ors’ scissors for cutting heavy cloth, dressmalkers’. scissors for cutting fiimsy fabrics and lace and still other scissors for cutting paper, finger nails, grape- vines, all kinds of metals and even for shearing sheep, but in spite of that ‘wide knowledge of scissorsd was puz- zled when I saw the large, peculiarly shaped pair of scissors lying in the showecase. 0 “‘What are these scissors for? I asked the clerk. “‘Carving meat he said. ‘With selssors of this kind carving becomes mere child’s play.’ “‘I never saw anybody use them,’ sald I “‘Nobody does use them,’ said the clerk—‘that is, only a very few. In Burope carving scissors are popular because they cut right through meat, gristle, bone and all, but it takes a little practice to learn to manipulate the things, and nobody in this country has 'patience enough for that.’ ”—Ex- change, The Talking Pots. “Yes, these pots of mine are all right,” said the potter. “They don’t talk, though.” “No pots do.” “Don’t they? Look here.” He took from the shelf a strange, crude pot daubed yellow and blue that had the shape of a duck. He filled it with water; then he poured the water out agaln. “Quack, quack, quack!” said the pot distinctly. Every.gurgle was a distinet quack. “There’s art for you,” said the potter. “Every gurgle of that duck pot s a quack. Wonder- ful Aztec art! And I have an Asztec pig pot that grunts like a pig and a dog pot that barks like a dog. Won- derful chaps, those Aztec potter fel- lows! I wish I knew their secret. Im- agine an Aztec banquet,” he said aft- er a pause. “Pots filled, you know, with wine. And every time you pour yourself a drink ‘Quack!” go'the ducks, ‘Bowwow!" go the dogs. Regular pan- demonium!”—New York Press. The Light of the Firefly. ‘When man will attain the perfect vacuum, then the rude ether blush of the electric light bulb will give forth many times more light, purified and heatless, soft and healing, as the light of the stars, penetrating as the sun. An examination of the firefly when emitting flames or light shows bodily movements that cannot be understood to mean anything else than vacuum producing. The lights are always seen In the vacuum sack on the back. Im- mediately before emitting light the insect will flatten the body, draw the legs in, droop the head, seemingly con- tracting in all directions; then with the relaxation come the flame and Hlght. The bodies of the glowworm and firefly always are transparent when filled with flame. The blades of grass or other debris are seen plainly through the bodies. Here are cases of nature dealing with X rays.—Chicago Tribune. How Marshall Field Made Money. In the early eighties, when the First National bank of Wallawalla was not as big as it 1s now, I pretty nearly had my breath taken away one day by & good looking stranger hailing from Chicago. He threw a letter of credit for $80,000 from a Chicago bank on my desk and quietly said, “Can you cash that?’ I looked him over once or twice, made a quick estimate of all the loose cash I thought we could scrape up and said: “Yes. How do you want it?” He gave a smile, sat down and sald, “I' think T'll take it in 1and.” In a month’s time, as his authorized agent; I bought about 80,- 000 acres of cheap railroad land for my Chicago friend, taking the deeds in my name at his request, paying an average of $2.65 an acre. He cleared over $1,000,000 on this one deal. His name was Marshall Field. — Senator Ankeny’s Reminiscences in Leslie’s ‘Weekly.

During the month I have loaned money to five friends, and only three of them have quit speaking to me.”—Washing- ton Star. 3 The Editor’s Sally. City Editor—What do you mean by saying in this robbery story that “Brown was knocked down and re: leved of a hundred dollars?’ Were you ever robbed yourself? New Re- porter—No, sir, City Editor—That ac- counts for it. If you'd been robbed you wouldn’t describe the loss of & hundred dollars as a relief.—St. Louis Republic. - - Behind the Screen. At a particularly dainty little restau. rant a lady with a sense of humor chooses the seat nearest the serving room, from which vantage point she notes and records, somewhat after the manner of Miss Beatrice Herford, the Bquabbles and comments of the dainty waltresses. Here are some of her cu- rlous transeripts from reality: . “I told you six soups, not desserts— the beginning of the meal, not the fin- ish! Can't you hear straight?”’ ‘“Here, Birdle, take back this coffee! It’s so cold it gave the woman ma- Jarial” “Great Scott! This lettuce isn't fit for a horse! I'd sooner eat grass}” “Oh, gee! Hurry up! It’s for an old maid, and her temper's worse'n mine!” “Say, you're the limit! 1 asked for fat meat, and you've given me a joint —nothin' but bone! Wake up!” Behind a screen, my correspondent tells me, they often imitate certain of the guests—mimicking their wallk, even their table manners. And as for the remarks she overhears, she mar- vels less at their content than at the way they are uttered. “Such voices!” And so she expresses astonishment that at table, while waiting on the peo- ple, “these young women are ever quiet and demure and patient—soft tones and a cheery but dignified man- ner.”—Boston Transcript. 77" The Costly Brier Pipe. “People don’t understand brier pipe making,” said a dealer. “If they did they wouldn’t consider a five or six dollar brier extravagant. Did you know, fov.instance, that a brier pipe after its completion is put away to season for nine or ten years? French brier is the best material for these pipes. It isn’t, though, brier, and it doesn’t come from France. It comes from — etymologically speaking — the word ‘bruyere,’ which means ‘furze.’ French brier is really Italian furze root, a growth of the Tuscan Alps. The plant is as carefully cultivated as tobacco itself. All the sprouts and leaves are kept well pruned; thus all the sap goes to the root’s nourishment. The root is cut when fully developed and boiled and dried before shipment. Afterward the pipemaker boils and dries it again. And when the pipe is finished he stores it away for further drying—a matter of eight years or so. The best bricr pipe is one cut cross- ‘wise of the grain, and the grain should be birdseye. Such a pipe lasts a life- time—can be handed down from father to son. Of course it's dear.” Only the Truth. A virtue carried to excess may be- come ridiculous. To such action one may well preach, “Be temperate in all things,” even in virtue. Amelia Opie, the English authoress, was not content { with any half measures, as is shown In a letter from her quoted in “Quaker Pictures,” by Wilfred Whitten.. Mrs. Opie’s course of conduct is to be re- spected as proceeding from her con- sclentious nature, but fiction readers may congratulate themselves that her opinions are not universal. Before she became a Quaker she wrote fiction. After her conversion she was asked to contribute a story to a magazine. Her answer to the editor ran as follows: “Thou knowest or ought to know that since I became a Friend I am not free to what is called to make a story. I ‘will write a fact for thy perusal or any little matter of history or truth or a poem if thou wishest, but I must not lie and say such and such a thing took place when it did not. Dost thou un- derstand ?” “He Kept Count. A famous animal trainer was talking to a reporter in New York. He said: “The secret of animal training i3 gen- tleness. - Nothing sudden or brusque must be done. An unexpected caress may anger an animal more than a kick in the ribs. Sudden, brusque, unex- pected things never go, no matter how well they are meant. Once I was showing in Scotland. We trainers sup- ped one night with a Scotch admirer.
