The traveler in Spain frequently eomes across some very quaint but wise expressions and sayings, for many of which we have no equivalent in our own language, For instance, there is the popular domestic saying in Spain that “a smoky hose, a leaky roof and a scolding wife drive a man from home.” A Spaniard often sums up another's character-with the remark that “he is like a collier’s sack, bad outside, worse inside.” They are particularly fond of sayings relating to love and money matters, as the following expressions show: “Love, grief and money cannot be concealed,” and “he who tries to get rich In a year will hang in six months.” This latter proverb is evi- dently meant as a kindly warning to business men. Not being particularly silent them- selves, the Spaniards like using the expression, dogs that don’t bark.” Yet they have another expression which seems direct- ly to contradict this, for it says, “speak little and well and you will be consid- ered as some one.” Finally one might quote the old Spanish recipe for true happiness: “Enjoy your little, while the fool seeks more.” to my place about March 15th one red face cow with calf by side.

Robert Louis Stevenson, the famous Scottish novelist and essayist, was ap advocate by profession—member of the Scottish bar—but he never practiced. He hated the law—or at least the practice of it—and abandoned it for literature as quickly as he could. At the bar in Edinburgh, Lord Shaw of Dunfermline (then Mr. Thomas Shaw, advocate) had an interesting view of Stevenson as an advocate. He writes: “I remember seeing him, with his very white wig and his glossy dark hair, his complexion of an ivory pallor, and his gleaming dark eyes. A few days after Stevenson went to the bar he had got a guinea, sent to him with ‘instructions. His sole duty was to ask the judge for intimation and sery- ice of a petition of the party against whom it was directed. All he had to do was to stand up at the bar and utter three words interrogatively: ‘In- timation and service?’ But he was a mass of nerves, and these three words he could not utter, and he besought his friend to go into court and make the little motion for him. I never heard of his earning another guinea as an advocate.” Mirage in History. A mirage is an optical illusion, by which images of distant objects are seen often as if inverted, below the ground or raised in the atmosphere. It is frequently observed on the western plains of Canada and the United States. ‘The phenomenon is best ob- served in the Egyptian or other des- erts, and the inverted images so much resemble these made in water as to create the illusion that a lake is really near. The mirage was known in an- cient Jewish times. It is mentioned in Isaiah 35:7: “And the parched ground shall become a pool and the thirsty land springs of water.” The Fata Morgana, what sailors call the “loomings,” the Flying Dutchman, the Enchanted Island, Cape Flyaway, etc., are all produced by the mirage. Held Commanding Position. A countryman was in charge of a couple of live hares, which he was conveying by rail. He had to change at a station and wait some time. To pass. the time he took the basket in which the hares were confined out- side the station and put it down in the road. The lid had been tied down loosely, and one of the hares managed to get out. The man rushed after it, but all to no purpose; and just as he got back the other hare jumped out and ran away in the opposite direction. The countryman made no attempt to follow, but, pointing: first one way and then the other, said: “Do you go there and do you go there if you like, I’ve got the tickets.” Sheep’s Important Place in World, One man alone could not look after a whole flock, so the first shepherd called in others, who lived in scattered huts or in caves, far apart, to assisi him, offering in return a share of the wool and the meat that were now so easy to obtain. And so at the edge of the pastures the first villages grew up. Thanks, largely to sheep, human so- clety came into being, and with it came laws and customs for the benefit of the little community. The next tremendous step was the diecovery of how to spin wool into yarn and weave yarn into cloth, which | paved the way for manufactures and commerce. As Your Wife Does at Home. “What is your idea of a clever wom- an—a womap who can see the point of a joke?” “No, a woman who can laugh at a joke without seeing the point.”—Bos- Clerk Misunderstood, Representative Martin B. Madden of linols relates this story in the New York Herald: “T went into'a little art shop not long ago and left an order for a small en- graving of ‘Apollo and the Muses.’ The clerk said he would order it, and so in a week I went back. But the clerk informed me there wasn't any such picture. “‘Why, “Apollo and the Muses” Is well known the world over, I told the clerk. ‘Of course there’s such a pic ture,’ “*What’s the title again?’ asked the clerx, ‘“Apollo, and the Muses?” J thought you ordered a picture called “Paul in the Museum.”’” Shanghai Telephone. Esperantists and others Interested in the development of a universal language should take note that in the Chinese city of Shanghai a new uni- versal language is now virtually in use over the telephone. The popula- tion of. the city is so heterogeneous, there being 27 different nationalities according to one observer, that it was found necessary to adopt a special language in making telephone calls. The language adopted was “pidgin” English, which is familiar to every American: who receives a “checkee” from his Chinese laundryman.—Tele- ‘phone Press Service. Delicate Task.

The lawyer had been reading for an hour or so and the insurance agent who rented desk room ventured an inquiry as to what the volume might be about. “Just a life of Henry VIII.” “I see lit- tle to admire in the life of that indi- vidual,” remarked the other, with a | snort. “You are doubtless right,” the lawyer replied, “But I would have liked to have had his divorce business just the same.” His Professional Manner.
