MINS AND.LOSES ARGUMENT pe With Last. Match, Out ‘With ‘Orato e | canvass of his crew revealediope box of matches—the kind that- occaslional 1y light. There were just seven matches, in- the box, and the foreman knew ‘that he must get a lght or do. tout'; his dessert.. ' Caretully - he shielded’ the’ first match with his coat ag:he struck. - It fizzled. The second falled to give a spark., The third and fourth. were equally -futile, and - the fifth and sixth sputtered only long pnguh to wring fo’m profane protests m the foreman. With excessive care-he drew the- seventh from the box. To his delight it blazed up strong and, with a gratified gfunt, he lighted * his pipe. © ¥ “I was afrald I wasn't going to get the light at all,” he told his men, ' “That all goes to show that persist- ance is the thing, boys; stick to it is my motto.; You see, if I had got mad” ' (and he.gestured with his pipe to show “what he meant), “I wouldn't have been smoking now from the best little’ pipe in the world. * Take it from me, Boys, you'll always win out if yer fol- Jow, me.” And then, while the.crew sniggered meanly; he.put his pipe back fo his mouth to discover that it was out. by FISH.

The first investigations; were connection with common trout and rainbow ~trout; 58 specimens of the grmer and 54 of the latter were pped, and the ova counted. - The o]de;, and heavier fish were found to Bbave the most eggs (ranging up to aiwnt 8,000), but the younger fish %e.}:!ed a decidedly larger number of in proportion to. the welght of e fish. ..

The diligent student allowed to smoke ., cigay,during the, Tesson. When the whole class has gl -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 & clgar of a size and quality propor- tlonate to his superior position. But the puplls are not allowed to drink, this. privilege being accorded tc the master only. On his desk ho always keeps a bottle of liquor, which, when empty, occasions much dispute among the parents of his scholars, as it is .considered an honor to be able to fill the schoolmaster’s bottle. Cremation of Hindu. Strange ritual marked the ceremony of the cremation of the body of a fe- male Hindu on the banks of the Zwart- kops river (South Africa). The body, in g cofin, was taken to the spot in o hearse, where it was removed from the coffin and placed on-a pile of fag- ‘gots, which hadvbeen bullt up cradle fashion ready to receive the bady. De- ceased’s daughter then walked round the body. three times with a btirning torch' and get fire to the pyre in sev- eral places. It took three and a half hours to cremate the remains, thq ashes of -which were thrown in the river. The coffin was also burned. Permission was granted for the carry- fog: out of the sbove by the town council and the administrator. / China’s Great Man Power. Of the 400,000,000 persons in China, 1t 18 estimated that at least 40,000,000 are men,capable of carrying arms or doing some sort of labor directly con- nected with the war. Of this number, ;2,000,000 are living within reasonable distance of transportation facilities and could be mobilized were it neces-, eary. China has such an abundance of men that millions could be spared to the advantage of those remaining at Superiority. “Women are. queer.” “Yes? “Mrs. Twobble has just returned from a trip to New York and merely because she stayed at a hotel with imore dining rooms than the hotel usue X hlly patronized by Mrs. Jibway on her gasterp . trips can boast of. she's in- filined o' look down on’ Mrs. Jibway."

BETTER THAN CALOMEL Thousands Have Discovered Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets are aHarmless Substitute.
