Dickinson | of Grand Rapids, while enroute |from Hibbing to Nashwauk, collided) with a party going in the opposite direction, and while the experience was interesting enough, it was hardly as hair-raising as the fol- lowing clipping from the St. Paul Dispatch would indicate. The “un- usual occurrence has been repub- | lished as far west as Seattle, and is as follows: “Grand Rapids, Minn., May 2.— When two automobiles, speeded on \a smoke-filled highway to prevent suffocation of their occupants, col- lided near this city, C. H. Dickin- son, manager of a local mercan- tile company, flew into the air, turned over and landed in the car of Mr. and Mrs. Dear of. Hilfsing. That couple had sailed past him and had dropped into his car. “Slight cuts from the glass of broken windshields were the only injuries suffered by the collision victims, who pushed their crippled cars into the swamp to protect them fram the fire and walked back to Grand Rapids.” Bites of Ineects. * This remedy against the bites of in- sects appeared in a recent issue of the China Medical Journal: “Take one eunce of epsom saits and dissolve it in one pint of water. applied and allowed te dry wilt Jeave a fine powder that the most blood thirsty insects will not attack.” Mrs. E.

THE PARSON’S MISTAKE. It Changed His Mind About the Cus- toms of the Fine Folks. A Scottish parson whose parish was remote from great cities was invited to a house party at a certain castle. and after much persuasion from his family and friends accepted. Mrs. Walford in “Memories of Victorian London” says that the elderly clergy- |man had never before been inside a large country house and was not at all familiar with the customs in vogue. He arrived about 5 o'clock and found the men just returned from. shooting “| and the ladies from driving, all being at tea in the hall. It seemed nice and sociable on a chilly November afternoon, and, de- lighted to find such simplicity prevail- ing where he had not looked for it, he partook heartily of cake, sandwiches and so forth. At a little before 7 o'clock some neighbors. who were merely calling, took themselves off, and the rest of the company broke up and went up- stairs with bedroom candles in their hands. “Well, this is better still,” thought my humble friend. and he rehearsed to himself the phrases he would use to describe the situation afterward. He would emphatically repudiate the no- tion that the “aristocracy” kept late hours and were too much addicted to conviviality. He heard himself say- ing: “Late hours, indeed? I haven’t been to bed so early since I was a boy.” He judged that he had been asleep some time when the sound of a gong ; Peverberating through the passages | made him start uptin bed. What was | the meaning of it? What terrible thing had happened? Could the house be on fire? Finding the back stairs close by, down he rushed to the housekeeper’s room and electrified the good woman by demanding breathlessly: “What is it? What's the matter?” “Lor’, sir, nothing ain't the matter,” said she reprovingly, “except that you’ll be late to dinner. The second gong sounded five minutes ago, and you’re not half dressed!" Such speed did be make, however, }luetance at leaving when it came tO; on being thus enlightened that he ac- ying goodbye to his many friends.| tually got into his evening clothes and was in the drawing room before half the other guests appeared. “But,” said he, “I never had the chance of delivering the speech I had so care- fully prepared exculpating great folks from the charge of evil ways.” A THREE FOOT LEAP. As Thrilling Behind the Scenes as For the Audience In Front. The opera is “Tosca.” You sit breath- less in your seat in the last act waiting for the climax, when Tosca shall find Cavaradossi not shamming, but dead by the trickery of the slain Scarpia, and’ shall run and leap over the para- pet to be dashed to pieces far below. The captain and his guards look over the edge, aghast atthe sight. You rise from your seat thrilled. Now go behind the scenes and watch Tosca leap. Nearly every one who can leave his post does go back stage, left, for this climax, which is as exciting in the reality as it is in the pretense for footlights. Before the curtain went up a stage band had dragged across and thrown down just beneath the par- apet a mattress some twelve inches thick and the size of an ordinary bed. The opera moves swiftly. The soldiers fire the volley, and Cavaradossi falls. Tosca, learning the truth, rushes to looks backward toward the audience, stands magnificently de- fiant and leaps. It is a good three feet in the vertical to the mattress. Do not think that the prima donna, however plump she may be, strives to save or catch herself. That leap is too great an opportunity for histrionic realism to lose one little part of its effect. She lands plump at full length, fairly taking the breath out of her, while the back stage watch- ers get the real gasp. It is perhaps half a minute before she recovers her- self. Then she gathers herself togeth- rus, supes, principals, down front stage to receive the curtain calls—New York Post. Paper Money. The earliest paper money issued in America was in Massachusetts in 1690 in order to satisfy the demands of clamorous soldiers. The first authoriz- ed by the Continental congress was in May, 1775. Six years later it ceased to circulate as money. Benjamin Franklin and his partner, D. Hall, printed the bills of the colony of Delaware. On the face of the note in conspicuous letters was the warn- ing, “To counterfeit is death.” * An Endearing Act. Wife (pleadingly)—I’m afraid, Jack, you do not love me any more—anyway, as well as you used to. Husband— Why? Wife—Because you always let me get up to light the fire now. Hus- band—Nonsense, my love!
