An ingenious builder of town fats
was struck recently by an idea which
he has put into effect with great sue
cess in his latest building. He noticed
that one of the first things his tenants
did when they went into house was
to bang portieres in every available
doorway. He has saved them some
trouble and himself the expense of
loors by putting a simple rod for the
curtain instead of the door in each of
the inner doorways in his latest flats.
The idea was novel enough to catch
the house.hunting mind, and he gets
more rent for the flats than though
they were fitted with doors, and has
no lack of tenants.

The Effect of Association.

No two individuals can come into con-
tact with each other without each be-
ing affected by that contact. An infer
ior may help or harm superior; but as
superior may the more easily help an
inferior, so the superior is in the greater
danger OF harming the inferior. 1t is
generally a matter of more Importance,
ultimately, to grown people how they
act in the presence of children, than
how children act in their presence. In
view of this truth. it is the duty OF eve-
ry one to study how he should act in
the presence of those with whom he
may be thrown.-,S. s. Times.

speaking of twins, the Philadel-
phia Record states that over one hun
dred pairs of them were born in that
city last year, and as grown up twins
are curiosity. it wonders what be-
comes of them. The doctors say,
without suggesting any cause for it.,
that twins are more apt to die than
other babies. The why is still a
mystery. Another thing equally
difficult to explain, is that more twins
are born in May and July than in any
other months.
