GRADY & CO., Cohasset EXTREMES IN | DAYLIGHT. There ts, In Reality, N. No One Longest or Shortest Day. It is usual to regard Dec. 21 as being the shortest day in the year and June 21 as the longest. But this impression, like so many others that are ingrained in the popular mind, is not a strictly accurate one. True it is, of course, that on Dec. 21 and June 21 respectively the sun reach- es its most southerly and most norther- ly points in the zodiac and begins in the one case to ascend and in the other case to decline. But this is in theory only, because for two or three days preceding and following these dates there is no observable difference in its position or its hours of rising and set- ting. This question of latitude, by the way, is extremely important when speaking of the shortest or longest day or days of the year.

We can all see it lying in the bottom of the pail under the water. Next, showing his hands empty, he places one in the pail and brings out a handful of the sand. Blowing upon it, it still scatters in all | directions, showing it to be as dry as ever. This is repeated several times until all the sand is again extracted. This clever trick is performed in the following manner: Fine, clean sand is selected, washed carefully in hot wa- ter several times and dried in the sun. Some of this sand is then placed in a frying pan with a lump of fresh lard and is cooked until all the lard is burn- ed away. The result is that every par- ticle of sand is covered with a thin coating of grease, so that when this sand is dropped into the water it re- mains dry.—Scientific American.

FEATHERED SCAVENGERS. Crows as Track Sire and Gulls as Government Workers. As unique a crew of track cleaners and police as could be found anywhere is enlisted in the service of the South- ern Pacific railroad. The members are neither Americans nor foreigners. It is a crew of crows. The big black birds built their nests near Hornbrook, Ore., on the northern division of the road. They have be- come fat and sleek living off the gen- erosity of tourists and of dining car employees. When the trains arrive at Hornbrook the crows leave their raosting places and circle about the depot. As the lim- iteds pull out the birds follow them for five or six miles. Scraps are thrown to them, and tkey devour every bit, polic- ing the tracks and acting as scaven- gers. The section hands and other em- ployees of the road realize the value of these birds and keep them from being molested. Trains crossing the Great Salt lake are followed by sea gulls, the latter, like the crows, feasting on scraps thrown from the diners. In a similar way the great lakes are patrolled by white winged gulls. The government protects them, appreciat- ing the work they do in following the ships or hovering over the fishing grounds and keeping the waters free of pollution.—Chicago Inter Ocean. New Year Calls In China. New Year calls are the custom in China, and you have to pay them in festive attire of silk or satin. These fine clothes (says Archdeacon Moule in the Chinese People) can be hired, the price being gradually lower- ed as the hours of the first six days pass by. We complained once of the very late arrival of a caller, who should have been among the first to salute us. He replied that money was scarce, and he was obliged to wait for the cheapest day to secure a fine robe already donned and doffed by a dozen of others. During these ceremonial days the whole community seems to give itself over to indiscriminate gam- bling, a practice illegal and condemned both by Chinese law and standards of morality, but winked at during this season. The Missing Window Pane. “Every kitchen has a window with one pane out in the Brazilian town of Rio Grande do Sul,” said a cook, “That town is a servants’ paradise. Servants live in their own homes there, as they should everywhere. They come to work at 7 in the morning, and they quit at 7 at night, a twelve hour day. Quite long enough. The paneless win- dow is for the milkman, the baker, the butcher. so that these traders can leave their supplies—they usually come early—in a safe place. The Rio Grande servant is, of course, not there to re- ceive them. She is in bed at her own home.” Aim only at that which is within reach and trust the big things to time and the spirit.—Towne.

The invalid’s room should be, without exception. the brightest and most cheerful room in the house. The custom of putting the invalid in a dark or small room in order to isolate him is a foolish one. It is essential that the patient, who must spend twenty-four hours a day in a room, should have as much light and air as possible. It is con- ceivable that a room, desirable because of its light and airiness, may be noisy, but noise is less of an evil than darkness or lack of fresh air. Ventilation is exceed- ingly important. Even in winter there is no reason why the win- dows should not be kept open if the patient is well covered and out of drafts. It is a mistaken idea, unfortunately deeply root- ed, that colds and sore throats are the result of too much air. THE : SCALES OF JUSTICE. How They Were Tipped In Favor of a Masculine Martyr. The upright judge leaned forward and bestowed a look of supreme dis- gust upon the prisouer, a not unhand- some looking young man. “The charge against you is that you have punctured the fair skin of this plaintiff with a needle. What have feu to say for yourself?” The prisoner, his face proud and) haughty, drew himself up. “It is true, your honor,” he. replied, “but I am not responsible.” “How so?” “The facts are these. Not being able to afford an automobile, I am obliged, like a great many other American citi- zens, to travel in public conveyances. For many months now I have been continuously jabbed in the face, back, shoulders and arms by innumerable hatpins worn by total strangers. Aft- er enduring this thing for a long time the thought of revenge became settled in my mind. I lost my control and one day determined to take the defensive.” Here the prisoner broke down. “Your honor,” -he sobbed, “it was wrong of me, but under this fearful ordeal my reason tottered.” ‘The judge wiped away a tear. “It is a sad case,” he muttered as he noticed there was not a dry eye in the courtroom. “Send him to a sani- tarium and let us hope that we may not share his fate.”—Life.

Cyril Maude. the English comedian, was talking about class distinctions. “They are less marked with you than with us,” he said. “Here you all talk aiike—the shopgirl’s accent differs in no wise from that of a Stuyvesant or a Roosevelt. But with us the lower classes talk a disgraceful jargon. “The ‘h’ especially. The lower class- es can never master that ‘bh.’ In my youth I once heard a stage manager rehearsing ‘Faust. He had sprung from the people. poor chap, and he conducted the rehearsal like this: “*'Old your ’ands on your ‘ips, ’old up your ’eads and look ’aughty.

He was a lover of music who had just been to hear Puccini's “Madame Butterfly,” and he was expatiating upon its beauties to an unresponsive friend whom he observed to yawn. The music lover was hurt. “Look here, John,” he protested, “don't you think that music is of some practicai benefit in life?” “Oh, yes,” said the unresponsive one. “Why, judging from the portraits | have seen of eminent musicians, es- pecially pianists, I should say that music is great to keep the hair from falling out."—Ladies’ Home Journal. Not Guilty. Lawyer—You understand what you are to do in court now, don’t you? Client—Yes, I guess so. Lawyer— When the court asks you whether you are guilty of manslaughter or not you say “guilty.” Client—But I can’t do that, my conscience wouldn't allow it. Lawyer— Why? Client — Because it wasn't a man I killed, it was a wom- an.—New York Globe. } | BOOST FOR COHASSET HH itl HA s wi | ene Wi Hat ee A i te 7 | ay ia | SS : sian ill é ; ‘\ ‘i Ne fra “Long Distance Wants You, George” At home when the day’s work is done, it’s pleasant to know that you may tel- ephone near or far without leaving your warm, comfortable fireside. | | Through the Bell Telephone’s wide- | reaching toll service the business man may look after that matter which, dur- i} | ma f a { ‘lt i » OND ing the stress of the business day, has slipped his mind.
