The obliging conductor noticed her and signalled the engi- neer to slow down and the young lady running up exclaimed, ““Oh, stop the train, I wantto maila letter.” The Shillalah. The shillalah owes its name to the fact that the finest specimens thereof used to be grown in the pleasant groves of trees that formerly flourish- ed in the barony of Shillalagh, in County Wicklow. The best shillalah must be a root sprung sapling, for one . taken from the branches of a full grown tree would laek the necessary toughness. Being trimmed and “brought to hand,” the young stick undergoes preparatory discipline by being placed in the chimney to season, thus becoming early acclimatized to! the hot work in store for it. This part of the curriculum finished, it is rub- bed until completely saturated with ofl, after which it is securely wrapped in a stout sheet of brown paper and burfed in a convenient hotbed. At this stage of its development it is an object of unceasing watchfulness on the part of its proprietor, who to fore- stall any detrimental warp in the ob- Ject of his care visits it daily, correct- ing any.youthful tendency to depart from a straight line and ultimately se- curing as straight a bit of timber as heart-could desire.—New York Trib- une. — s e Let Him Try. “I fear no foe in shining armor,” 8ang the man at a concert. “Don’t you, old chap?’ grumbled the bachelor in the front row. - “Then you try to open a sardine box with a pocket: knife.” One Secret.

When two weather prophets disa- gree does It argue error or incompe- tence in either? No, says the author of “Storms and Storm Signals” in Yachting. ' The data upon which they base their predictions do not always bear one interpretation. - Thus: Because the clouds indicate weather in a different manner according to the geographical location of the observer, and also because they are In them- selves but byproducts of the weather and are not causes, weather predic- tions from clouds at sea should be tak- en with plenty of reservation of Judg- ment. To say, for instance, that at a “red sky at night sailors delight” is very tuneful and possibly truthful where knowledge 1s conspicuous by its absence, but a red sky at night may .mean almost anything from a gurplus of moisture in the afr, meaning prob- ably rains, to a yolcanie eruption 2,000 miles away which has sent great clouds of dust into. the alr, causing the red color by reflection and refraction W the light rays. The Eyes. “Long, almond shaped eyes, -with thick. and ‘creamy ‘lids covering half the pupil and with a forehead that is full above the brows—there you have the eye of the man of genfus.” The 8peaker’s own eyes answered that de- scription strikingly, but he was far from being a man of genius, being, in fact, a magazine editor. “Protruding eyes,” he went on, “show mental and bodily weakness. Eyes close together denote cunning. Those far apart denote liberality. Thin lashes without any upward curve to them and thin brows poorly marked are signs of melancholy and indecl- slon. The eyes of a voluptuary move slowly under heavy lids. Those of a miser are small, deep sunken and blue, set in a bony and perpendicular fore- head. The most beautiful eyes—large, brillant and clear, giancing and flash- Ing with a rapid motio_n—the most beautiful eyes denote elegance of taste, gayety, some selfishness and a great interest in the opposite sex.”—New York Press. Like Father Like Son. Four-year-old Clyde was a precocious youngster—very talkative and.a close observer. He and his father were strolling through the meadows one morning when Clyde observed for the first time some tadpoles in a pond. He waded in and cried out, “Oh, father, what are they?” “Tadpoles, son,” the father replied. “Please, father, let’s take them all home with us, then come back and find -the manima and papa, and we'll have the whole fnmuy in our pond at home.” 'The father explulned how impossible this would bé, and as they walked on a few steps a large, ugly frog hopped across their path. Clyde's father said: “Look, son. Perhaps there is the pa- pa.” Clyde was very thoughtful. He look- ed at the frog, then at his father, then ‘at himself and éxclaimed: “Well, father, was there ever 8o much difference between me and you?” —Delineator. e Curious School Customs. Mexican schoolmasters show their appreciation of a- pupll’s efforts in a curious manner. The diligent student is allowed to smoke a cigar during the lesson. When the whole class has giv- en satisfaction, permission is given for a general ‘smoke, and even the little Mexicans are allowed to light a ciga- rette for the occasion. Needless to say, the schoolmaster himself smokes a cigar of a size and quality proportion- ate to his superfor position, But the scholars are not allowed to drink, this privilege being accorded to the master only. On his desk he always keeps a bottle of liquor, which, when empty, occasions much dispute among the parents of his scholars, as it is consid- ered an honor to be able to- fill the schoolmaster’s bottle—London Stand- ard. Cutting It Short. A British lieutenant in the Second battalion, Lincolnshire regiment, who was called Leo Quintus Tollemache- Tollemache de Orellana Plantagenet Tollemache-Tollemache, gave notice by means of advertisement that he re- nounced the names of Quintus Tolle- mache-Tollemache Plantagenet Tolle- mache and should henceforth upon all occasfons and at all times sign and use and be called and known by the name of Leo de Orellana Tollemache || only.
