i i It Wouldn't Sound Well. English north country paper s upon the known ambition of the mayor of its town to be made a knight for hiy distinguished services in recelving royalty and narrates for the benefit of the aspirant this anecdote: ‘When Adam Black, the Edmburgh pub; lsher, was sounded on the subject of recelving knighthood he said: “Nae, nae; it wadna dee. You see,” he add- ed, “4f a boy cam’ intg ma shop and sald, ‘A hapeth o' slate pencil, Sir Adam,’ it wadna sound weel.” How Parchment Came to Be Used. ‘When the literary jealousy of the Hgyptians caused them to stop the sup- 5. Bly of papyrus, the king of Pergamos, a cty in Asia Minor, introduced the use of sheepskin in a form called, from the place of its invention, pergamona, whence our word parchment is be- Heved to be derived. Vellum, a finer article, made from calfskin, was also used. Many of the books done on vel- lum in the middle ages were tran- « #cribed by monks, and often it took years to complete a single copy. Her Compliment. A Does' your wife ever pay you any \\.‘compl!ments"” asked Frederick Jim- l,( son of his friend Benderley. | \ 1 “Never,” replied Benderley. “Well, mine does; she flatters me.” “Often?” “Oh, yes, frequently—particularly in winter,” replied Frederick. “Why does she flatter you so much . in winter?” “Whenever the coal fire needs replen- ishing she points to the fireplace and says, ‘Frederick, the grate.’ "—London Mall. Life’s Little Perversities. There are many little perversities in this life of ours. Doctors cannot heal themselves. Dentists nearly always ‘bave bad teeth. TUndertakers rarely die and never bury themselves. Edi- tors cannot edit themselves. Financial authorities are always broke. Chefs lhave no appetite. Tailors are alyays poorly dressed. Barbers usually need a have. Bartenders seldom partake— " . Scgaiess it be of a cigar, merely to keep % shingles on the roof. There is no need to multiply instances.—St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Good sense is as different from genius a8 perception is from invention, yet, though distinct qualities, they fre- quently subsist together. Fast aeroplanes make as much as 120 miles an hour, Zeppelins have been reported with a flight as fast as sixty-five or seventy miles an hour. Splitting Headaches Stopped! Oh, the awful agony! No words can de- scribe the suffering. Your brain seems like a ball of fire, you skull ready to crack, a thousand hammers beat your eyeballs. Men and women by the hundreds are being driven to insunity and suicide by headache’s con- tinued torture. And all this suffering is useless. Headache . is only a symptom of some other trouble. Ninety-nine times out of a hundred that other trouble can be directly traced to the stomach or liver. Headache powders-are dangerous, they weaken the heart and only give tem: porary relief at most.

Musical Taste of Dogs. Obe authority says that of all ani- mals dogs appear to evince the keen- est ' musical susceptibility. - Probably this is correct. Anyway, it has long been noted that the average dog howls dismally whenever he hears anything that is supposed to be a musical dem- onstration, and at least nine times out of ten his judgment seems to be accu- rate.—Providence Journal On the basis that every grain of "It 18 estimated that there are about wheat will produce fifty a German.| 7,000,000 farmers’ families in the Unit- mathematician has figured that a third: year progeny of a slngle grain woul feed 300 men.
