A Matter of Calculation,

An exchange says:-Hsxs you ever stopped to calculate how much time you have fooled away in making love to the girl opposite that is to say, to all the girls opposite to whom you have made love in your life long2 And have you ever stopped to think how few things there are in this world that you would sacrifice so much time to for so small 8 result9 We say 'fooling' away time advisedly. If flirting with the girl op- posite ever led to anything serious if it saved some of the time that uniform ly is lost in beginning a courtship, and ln the end led to the inevitable marry ing that in the long run every fellow must attend to, then it would be req sonable thing to do. But it never does, never. You marry some other girl and the girl marries some other fellow, and the whole performance is just sheer waste of time.

As long as meat retains the pink color known as rare" it has been insufhciently cooked to destroy the parasites. Smoking and piekling the meat arc of no use whatever.

The Flea,

From the Boston Transcript
This insect belongs to the genus PeleZ.
When he gets on your arm, you PuleX-
citedly at your sleeve. You are anxious
also for the insects leave. The flea has
a strong love fer man, but be manages
to get over bis attachment. He is
leper. In olden times they used to
drive the leper Ont Of the synagogue.
When the flea gets on you, he sets sin
agog in your heart. The flea is para
site. You have not to cross the ocean,
therefore, to see a Paris sight. FIcas
are very plentiful. You remember that
Mary had a little lamb whose feas were
while as snow. In ancient times, how
ever, the golden tieas were very scarce,
and consequently much sought after.
There can be no doubt about the habit
Of this social insect, for does not the
Bible speak CT it Us the " flea, from the
wrath to come 2" And again is it refer
red to as the wicked flea" which "nO
man pursueth. F." But we prefer not to
dwell on this subject. Neither do we
wish to have this subject dwell on us.
We might, ere long, have q flea il our
ear should we not stop.
