The worst of trying to settle down 1s that there’s always so much to be first settled up. Enthusiasm is what keeps a man at work when everyone else has gone to a football match, In the game of life, the handsome woman scores by “honors” and the plain woman by “tricks.” Marry not any woman out of grati- tude, lest in time she begins to won- der where the reward comes in, A wise man will make every effort to remain a bachelor until he is quite sure that he has met his last love. ‘ a A girl will often forgive a young man more quickly for kissitig her against her wish than for not being keen enough to try—Chicago Amer- Fresh Fruits are Plentiful !

There are quite a number of people who make a living by teaching par- rots to talk. It is a task that requires patience and skill. Each bird is put in a cage by him- self and covered with a bag, which prevents the parrot from seeing out and at the same time admits sufficient light. Then the “schoolmaster” stands In front of the cages, and says what he wants the birds to learn. The words are repeated once a minute. Sometimes this repetition goes on for several hours before the pupil begins to do anything else but scream, but at last he begins to murmur the words, As soon as one bird can say the words without a mistake the master’s work is done, for the pupil will soon teach the words to all the other occu- pants of the room. They are left in the covered cages for a day, and at the end of that time every parrot will know the words thoroughly. Then the creatures have to be taught when to say the words. Let us sup- pose that the lesson was “Come and kiss me.” “The bags are lifted off the eages by a, number of pretty girls. They are the first people the parrots see, and consequently each bird con- nects the words with a pretty girl, and ever afterward uses the sentence in this connection. SNAKES IN QUEENSLAND BUSH Residents Set Traps for Unpleasant intruders, and Lure Them to Their Death. “Women in Queensland,” says Miss Puxley, a young English woman, au- thor of “Wanderings in the Queens- land Bush,” “often set traps_ for snakes which have entered houses, in the shape of a frog left hopping about or a saucer full of poisoned milk, Both of these are sure draws, the snakes being killed while resting after the meal.” She then tells the story of a friend of hers, who was standing in the doorway of her house when a snake, having seen a saucer of milk just belind her, pushed past her to reach this dainty. She quickly closed the door when it was half-way through, and so broke its back. This was one of the deadly black snakes of Queensland. Another bit of in* formation about snakes, which Miss Purley gives, is the fact that because of the angle at which a_ certain snake's teeth are set it Is impossible for him to stop swallowing anything once he has really begun. So it hap- pens that two snakes, which may have started, out on a killing: In a spirit of camaraderie, may each begin swallowing at one end of their prey, but when they have reached the mid- dle there ig nothing to do except to continue, and the snake with the largest mouth Is forced to include hig less fortunate companion of the chase in his meal. Insect Radio Carrier. The modern ra.Jo fan is advised to consider the gall midge, a minute fiy, and other forms of insect life, by BH. Porter Felt, New York state entomolo- gist, who calls attention to the an- tennae or “feelers,” and radio receiving sets. The loop antennae, such as are used in indoor receiving sets, find almost exact coun- terpart in the construction of the an- tennae of the little insects, and Doctor Felt suggests that they were designed to catch faint vibrations of the air. These receiving sets from Nature's own laboratory are carried wholly by the male insects, Doctor Felt states, and their probable purpose is to en- able them to hear the plaintive love call of the female from great dis- tances. While the male gall midge carries, the most complete model of a receiving set that is known in the insect world, the female makes no noise that is audible to human ears. Carry Shoes on Their Heads, In Oporto, Portugal, all the porters are women. It Is nothing for a sturdy Portuguese woman to lift a 100-pound trunk on her head and carry it for a quarter of a mile without stopping. It is no uncommon sight in Oporto to see a woman walking along the street with a round basket on her head. In the basket, sleeping peacefully, is her baby, soothed by the rhythmical step of its mother. Many Oporto women become so ex- pert in this art of head-juggling that they can carry a folded umbrella on thelr heads without the slightest ef- fort. This is very difficult to do, but to the women of. Oporto it is more convenient than carrying the umbrella in the hand. It Is amazing to see a woman walk- ing along at a comfortable swinging galt in her bare feet—with her best shoes balanced carefully on the top of her head, without any apparent effort or idea of the oddity of the perform ance, Perfection imperative. Hamlet Fatt, starring in “Julius Cae sar,” had been out 40 weeks, and of course every member of the cast was letter perfect. In fact, they could have recited their parts backward. Getting Into New York state, however, he called an extra rehearsal. The troupers wondered why, whereupon he explained that he wanted to mike a good showing in the next town played. Being pressed for further details, he added: “Our next stand is Rome, and you know that Kome was Julius Caesar's home town.” — Pond of some insects" TIRES! TIRES!
