Dailey, exclusive Lakeland agent Fast Time on Motor Trip, A wellknown European motorist, Btopping in Cairo, Egypt, performed a record feat by driving his car from Cairo to Alexandria, the other day, in ten hours, The distance is 140 mines, and considering that time after time the driver had to zigzag backwards and forwards across the railway line, there being no proper road, the per- formance was considered wonderful. The return journey was covered in 8 hours, the following day. Man'’s Overlooked Opportunities.

Rats on ships do several million ddl- lars of damage to cargoes every year, to say nothing of the carrying of dis- eases. Rat-killing virus is used suc- cessfully on shipboard, but some of the rats become immune to the disease which the virus causes. This is not so bad, because the rats which are not killed by the virus, but have gotten used to it, carry virus disease to other rats, and these In turn are killed by the disease. By Natural Reasoning. A keen student of human nature must have written the following: “When you see a young man sailing down a street shortly after midnight with his collar crumpled, you can make up your mind that there's a young girl crawling upstairs not far distant, with her shoes under her arm and an extinguished lamp in her hand.” v Past and Future. “She 1s a woman with a past,” sald the Suspicious Neighbor, with sup- pressed horror. ‘\Well,” said the Old Neighbor, “she’s better off than the rest of us, if that's all. I'm afrald most of us have something coming to us.” And it was so. You unhappen your past, but what's coming you may sidestep. Homely Old English Rhymes. “God speed the plow and bless the corn mow,” goes back to the 16th cen- tury days. A genuine custom rhyme from Suffolk runs thus: “Here's a health to the barley mow. Here's a health to the man who very well can both harrow and plow and sow.” Such a good old toast ought not to be al- lowed to languish.—London Mail. Mystery of the Pyramids. One of the mysteries of the great pyramids in Egypt is how they were built in the sand. How did the slaves lift *hese gigantic boulders into place, especially since that was in the days when machines were unknown. Sa- vants and historians believe sloping ways were built leading to the pyra- mids and the great stones hauled into | place.

Two cows were being driven along Causewayend, Aberdeen, Scotland, one recent forenoon, when they ran into & house on Charles street. Before the animals could be ejected, they smash- ed a quantity of furniture, and one of them put a foot through the floor. The mistress of the house, who was in at the time, suftered a severe shock from the unexpected intrusion on the do- mestic circle. All Are Ours. We lament the hostility of elrcum- stances and the elusive nature of op- portunity; but if we are in the stream of power all circumstances are ours. The master of right living is keyed to his surroundings and lives as the rose opens to the sky and alr. Study yourself, lay firm hold on the deep germs of angelhood, the folded blos- soms of beauty, and bid them come forth! Old Customs in Synagogues.
