A Doal In Gum. Some of these little newsboys are re- sourceful little mites. A day or two ago a business man dropped a silver mounted fountain pen through the grating in front of a bullding on West Third street. They told him In the store that there was no access to the hole from the inside. He seemed to be up against it. Two newsles saw him peering down lnto the grating and got interested. “I'll git 1t out fer you, mister,” spoke up one of them, “If you'll stand the ex- It'll take about a mnickel's The man said he would finance the gum scheme, whatever it might be. A minute or two later the boy had dashed Into a store and got a yard- stick. He was chewing hard on an entire § cents’ worth of gum. As soon as this was properly softened by the process of mastication he placed it on the eud of tha yardstick, stuck the stick through the grating until the gum met the pen and brought the pen up with the utmost dispatch.—Cleveland Plain Dealer. 8and Fish. At low tide in midsummer on cer- tain parts of the Breton coast men and boys with baskets and hoes descend the white beach to the sea's edge. They are anglers, but the fish they seek llve on dry land. With his hoe each fisherman makes swiftly in the packed sand shallow parallel trenches, very close together and about a yard long. If the luck be good every scratch of the hos uncovers three or four sfl- very fish, the size of sardines, that leap up glittering tnto the air. They must be selzed quickly or at once they bury themselves in the sand again. They are called lancons. The smaller ones are used for mackerel bait; the larger, with their heads cut off, make, fried, an excellent dish a good deal lke fried smelts. With daylight tides the lancons are seldom bigger than a man’s middle finger, but with the night tides;- when promenaders have not disturbed the sand, they run very large indeed. Then, their lanterns flash- ing on the beach, the Breton fishermen often capture lancons a foot long. Cut Heads. The Liverpool Post has been making observatlons' with regard to the “cut heads” which are treated at the hos- pitals between 12 and 2 a. 'm, The Post says that the house surgeons have moticed a curious difference in the sexes on different nights: On Bat- urday nights the subjects are mostly men who have recelved thelr wages, redeemed thelr clothes from pawn and drunk enough to lead to a brawl. Mon- day night, however, 18 “ladies’ night.” The men have gone to work, and the wives have taken thelr husbands’ best and only sult to the pawnshop, and then it is thelr turn to drink the pro- ceeds and cut one another's heads. The -usual answer to- the question “Who did it?" 1, “Another lady wot 1ives in the same Jouse.” 8elling “Carlyle® Here 15 Whistler's story of how be sold his famous picture of Carlyle to the Glasgow corporation: I recelyed them, well, knflr, charmingly, of course, one wha gpoke for the rest asked me if I 414 not think I was putting a large pri on the plcture—1,000 guineas—and eald, “Yes, perhaps, if you will have 1t sl And he said that it seemed to the council excessive. “Why, the figure 'was not even life size.” And T agreed. “But, you know,” I said, “few men are life size” And that was all.

The Bouthern Art of Conversation. The north may think it knows some- thing of conversation, but the north, as compared with the south, may be said never to have enjoyed a conversation, About the village courthouse, within the hospitable doors of some central store, in the office of the local daily or weekly paper or, above all, in the lel- surely and genial intercourse around the fireside or on the inviting porch fn summer of friend with friends there will be heard a conversatton which in wit, in the charm and force of its llustrations and in the direct- ness and freedom of its criticism is not surpassed in Amerlcan life today. It {s the product of lelsure, of a world without haste, without ruthless preoccupations, without those resources of expression and interest which be- long to the crowded and overweighted existence of the commercial city. It 18, moreover, part of the tradition of the cavaller. It is part of the genius of cltmate and soil and soclal habit.— B. G. Murphy in “The Present South.” Carving Solssors. : “I thought I knew all about scls- gors,” said the man. “I had seen tafl- ors' scissors for cutting heavy cloth, Qressmakers’ sclssors for cutting fitmsy fabrics and lace and still other scissors for cutting paper, finger nalls, grape- vines, all kinds of metals and even for shearing sheep, but in spite of that wide knowledge of scissors I was puz- gled when I saw the large, peculiarly shaped pair of scissors lylng in the showcase. “‘What are these scissors for? I asked the clerk, “‘Carving meat’ he sald. ‘With scissors of this kind carving becomes mere child's play,” “‘I never saw anybody use them, sald L *“Nobody does use them,’ sald the glerk—‘that 1s, only a very few. In Burope carving sclssors are popular because they cut right through meat, itle, bone and all, but it takes a ttle practice to learn to manipulate the things, and nobody In this country has patence enough for that’*—Ex- change. The Talking Pots. *¥es, these pots of mine are all Aight” sald the potter. “They don’t 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 u duck. He fllled it with water; then he poured the water out egain. “Quack, quack, quack!™ sald the pot distinctly. Bvery gurgle was a distinct quack. “There’s art for you,” sald the potter. “Every gurgle of that duck pot is a quack. Wonder- ful Agtec art! And I have an Aztea pig pot that grunts like a pig and a dog pot that barks like a dog. Won- derful chaps, those Astec potter fel- lows! I wish I knew thelr secret, Im- agine-an Aztec banquet,” he sald 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 tlmes 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 productng. The lights are always seen [n'the vacuum sack on the back. Im- mediately before emitting light the tnsect will flatten the body, draw the legs in, droop the head, seemingly con- tracting in all directfons; then with the relaxation come the flame and Mght. The bodles of the glowworm and firefly always are transparent when filled with flame. The blades of ss or other debris are seen plainly rough the bodles. Here are cases of nature dealing with X rays.—Chicago Tribune. Drs. Palmer DENTISTS, Miles Block.
