The honey obtained on the banks of the Huphrates ts of an intoxicating na- ture, The water of Lake Geneva rises and falls irregularly, much like the Ocean tide. Mt. Everett is only about 29,000 feet high, but the sea off Ladrone islands 4s 31,620 feet deep. In Burope there are estimated to be 25,000,000 more women than men, the latter totaling 225,000,000, Pure gold is known as 24 carats fine, Alloya. are expressed in fractional parts of 24.

Women ate lemon and peppermint @rops in the Eighteenth century. CURIOUS CREATURES A frog can live for days without using ita lungs. The warlike Amazon ants have ‘.alaves to walt on them, which they capture in raids on brown ant col- ontes. Cave-inhabiting spiders have lttle 4f any eyesight, but they can readily e their mates through an acute sense. of smell. ..

Your first play is a hit, Somebody dies an’ leaves you some coal, The baby sleeps night, through every You make the last payment on your insurance, You're yoted the most popular man im the club. There’s no extra calls on the tele phone Dill. Your boss sends you on a “business” trip to Cuba, The mushrooms you raise in the cellar aren’t toadstools, Somebody bumps your old car and you knock off some fat insurance. And the missus insists that you go to the lodge—Exchange. JUST THOUGHTS Crooks are’ made by trying to dodge duty. A woman can forgive a fool if she is the reason. Some men are as effective as a joke without a point. Heaven always gets your picture when you are not posing. Home without mother is like short- cake without strawberries. When a man quits smoking and be- gins again he feels foolish. Money js good for a great deal if there is a great deal of money. It's when a man rises to explaip that his enemies begin to chuckle. Shielding a fool from the fruits of his folly Is fostering his foolishness. Boys really should be clubbed for their neglect of the kind of girls they want their sisters to be. REWARDS OF CHEERFULNESS The cheerful man is pre-eminently a useful man, The habit of cheerfulness enables one to transmute apparent misfortune into real blessings. The cheerful man’s thought sculp- tures his face into beauty and touches his manner with grace, If we are cheerful and contented all nature smiles gat us; the air is balmier, the sky Is clearer, the flowers have a richer fragrance, the birds sing more sweetly and the whole world Is more beautiful. High-minded cheerfulness is found in great souls, .self-poised and confi dent in their own heaven-alded pow: ers.—Boston Transcript. presences een cena nneennnnans FLASHLIGHTS When a young girl marries an old man who isn’t rich we'll know it’s a love match. Sometimes the folks who have the most to be thankful for show the least gratitude, We know a lot of rich men we wouldn’t particularly care about for lifelong companions. Nothing spollssa boy or a man so quickly as the notion that there is a way to get money without earning It. Shen avs we ac THE GENIUS He can write with a post office pen.

It will be a live is- venes. Inform yourselves and see that your representatives in congress are informed also so that they will vote for the right kind of a bill. There are two bills, one by Capper-French which has been supported by the sheep men, the consumers’ league, the farm organizations and the farm bloc which will require manufacturers to brand their fabrics so the consumer will know how much shoddy or adulterants the cloth contains. The other bill—the Lodge- Rogers bill—was drawn up by the enemies of truth is fabrics; by those who want to con- tinue to fleece the uonsum- ers by hiding shoddy in with a little virgin woll and selling the whole at virgin wool prices One American firm recently purchased $1,800,000 worth ‘be made into shoddy clothes for of old rags in England to} Americans. This is but on pur- chase by one person. They are many. The Capper-French bill will protect the consumers. The} Lodge-Rogers bill will not.
