PAYING FOR HIS WHIsTLE.-Not many
years ago, when lofty building was on the
point of completion, the mason who was
finishing the highest portion was in the habit
of whistling to the laborer who attended him
whenever he wanted fresh supply Of lime,
and, as the scaffold on which he wrought was
rather small, this occurred very often during
days. work. A joiner who was fitting in a
window Immediately underneath, noticing
Pat answer dutifully to every whistle from
the mason, thought of playing q trick on him
by initiating tho whistle, and thus brought
him up with hodful of lime when there was
no room for it. The mason told Pat that he
had not whistled, SO he had no other alterna-
tive than to trudge back with his load. This
having occurred for the third time during the
day, Pat thought he would watch to hear
where the whistle came from. He had not
waited long with the bod on his shoulder
when he heard the identical whistle directly
underneath where he STOOD and leaning over,
he saw the head of the joiner protruding out
of the window Immediately below. Pat,
without more ado, emptied the hod right
over the whistler's head. The joiner yelled
and spluttered while attempting to clear him
self from the adhesive mass, aud in the midst
of his confusion heard Paddy above shouting
at the top of his voice :
Whistle when you want some more

MISCELLANY.
DARK ROOMS.

Shut the windows tight. Batten them with
weather strips, toexclude the air. Curtain
them and shut the blinds to keep out the
light-bright sunshine fades the carpets and
is painful TO weak eyes. We win sit in the
back room, on the shady side of the house.
The late DR.. Griscom, for some twenty
years physician in New York hospital, said
of the patients: Nearly all on the sunny
side of the hospital recover, while many on
the shady side linger along till gangreen sets
in, when death comes to their relief.a We
expressed surprise that a man should be
placed in a room whore the chances were
against his recovery, and inquired, why not
have sunny rooms for all !" He answered !:
1.-THE hospital is not large enough for this,
and when the good rooms are all full, those
who come in later must accept such accomo-
dations as we can furnish, whether they live
or die. We do the best we can with the
rooms at our disposal"
Never mind the fading carpets-what are
they when compared with life and health !?
Sleep in well aired and ventilated rooms, and
thus throw off and throw out all impurities
emanating from tho human body. If all
should live on healthy food breathe pure air;
live much in the life-giying sunshine abstain
from stimulants, narcotics and oodiments; be
suitably clothed sleep plentifully in we'll
ventilated rooms in which the sun shines dur
ing the day take proper bodily exercise to
keep up vigorous circulation {; keep the skin
clean by frequent additions, and the con-
science clear and void Of offense toward God
and man by doing right, and in other matters
obey the laws of Nature and Of God, we
would be proof against coughs, cold, con-
sumption, smallpox, cholera, yellow fever, or
other diseases. Indeed, one who so lives may
be exposed to any diseases and not take it,.

THANKSGIVING Day BIRD.--It is believed
that turkeys were introduced into England
from America by William Strickland, lieuten-'
ant to Sebastian Cabot, in the time of Henry
VIZ Franklin always said that the wild tur-
key should have been the emblem Of the
United States, the log cabin Of the pioneer be-
ing in his day surrounded BY these birds, who
saluted each other from, forest boughs, just as
the chanticleer awakens the English farmers.
The first turkey seen in France was brought
thither by the Jesuits, and served up at the
wedding feast of Charles TX, in 1864.

How INDIA RuBBEi SHOES WERE INTRO
DucED.-The history of the introduction of
India rubber oyershoes is a curious story.
Before 1921 the rubber had been imported
only in the form Of curiosities such as croco-
diles, turtles and other objects. A sea cap
tain at that time brought, among other de-
vices, some rubber wrought in the shape Of
small shoes and gave them as present to an
intelligent boy. They were closed over the
top, and our hero cut them open to find only
some clay within in the form of lasts. His
next desire was to put them on his feet, but
as they would not stretch enough lie used
boiling water to soften them, and then sue
ceeded in his purpose. To color them he
used ink, which soon washed off, but finally
hit upon the plan of smoking them up in the
chimney. He then had completed the first
pair of India rubber shoes ever used in this
country, and his success was the beginning
of business which now has immense proper
tions.

Farewell, dear Rosa, fare-fhe-well,
The parting hour il near,
When no moro shall sea thy form
But then | hope 10 hear
FROM thee, when thouuf far away
Upon life's troubled stream;
To keep ia mind those happy days,
Shall be my constant theme.
How OF Two listened to thy words
OF consolation, when
Discouraged by this selfish world,
How dear thy presence then
To see thy fair angelic neck,
Where silken curls do roll,
Thy rosy check and sparkling eyes
Cheer up my weary soul.
How very sad that we must part,
But yet 1t has to be,
And when away do not forget
The hours l spent with thee;
Our evening rainbles, too, must end,
My sorrow none can tell,
fear We part to meet no more
