How Come? A certain newspaper in-a certain town remarking about a certain club, states that a_certain man won the at- tendance prize, a shower bath, do- nated by certain other man. Sort of an odd prize to give a- man for be- ing present. We'vs often heard of such things, being suggested as a good thing for some menber who wasn't present. ! —Or Presentable— Aldermanic Action We read that’‘‘Many Projects Con- sidered By City: \lderman,” and we now easily understand the action tak- en by that illustrious body recently.

It must be an awful sensation. to be kicked out of bed by a nightmare. Those clothes which the girls of 14 to 16 haveoutgrown during the win- ter may be just in style fo rthe grown- ups next summer. Tobacco may be a bad habit, but who ever heard of two men fighting with a pipe or cigar in their mouths? —Nor Women, Either— s Who Did Then? If anyone asks.you who won the war, ask them, “What War?” Then if they say, “The.

Tt is suitable for use in nolsy. factories. and. workrooms where the ordivary telephone mouth- plece transmitter would pick up the other sounds in. the room and. so pre- vent conversation.

In the neighborhood of Cuba a pe- culiar method of securing turtles is pursued. The people train, or.at least take advantage of the fnstincts of a certain species of fish, called by the Spanish reve (meaning reversed), be- cause its back is usually taken for its stomach. It has an oval plate attached to its head, the surface of which is traversed by parailel ridges. By this plate it can firmly adhere to any selid body it may choose.” The boats which go in quest of the turtles each carry a tub containing a number of these reves. When the sleeping turtles are seen they are approached, and as soon as they are judged near enough a reve is thrown into the sea. Upon perceiving the. turtle its instinct teaches it to swing right toward the turtle and fix itself firmly upon the creature by meang of its disk. Sooner would the reve allow itself to be pulled to pieces than give up its grip. A ring which is attached to the tail of ‘the fish, in which a string is fastened, allows the . fisherman to pull in his prize. By a, peculinr manipulation the reve is pulled off and returned to the tub, to be rendy for use the next time a turtle is sighted. Pttt Ak Figures That Stagger.
