A FEW YEARS HENCE.
A Dreamer Conjures Up Tales OF Hardship
for His Grandchildren.


for His Grandchildren.
lie was sitting before a great fire az
the club, with eyes half closed, when a
friend reused him.
Dreaming, old man?" asked the
friend.
Half dreaming half musing," was
the reply as the young fellow stretched
himself my grandfather has been
telling of the hardships of early days.
and was wondering what I'd tell my
grandchildren in that line"
Couldn't think of much, could you?"
well, don't know. Hardship is
hardship only by comparison with lux
ury. The luxury of one age is the
hardship of the next. Now coniured
up picture of my grandchild sitting on
my knee asking me for story"
Several men had gathered around the
armchair and one asked:
Ibid you tell a story?"
so, yes" replied the dreamer. re-
member l told him that about 1890
had a brother in New York. One day
received dispatch that he was dying
| took the limited, and for twenty-six
bours l was in an agony of doubt, fear
full lest he should die before l arrived
dilated little on the terrible suspense
and told how my appetite seemed to
have left me-"
"And what did the boy sayP" asked
one of the party.
"The boy? o, he wouldn't believe it
az first; wanted to know if it was possi-
bic that there was an accident that de-
layed me, and If there was, why it de-
layed me so long. He figured it out,
too. He said
Regular time from here to New
York, two hours. o, they couldn't have
delayed you twenty-four hours, grand
pa
And when told him that twenty
six hours was the regular time he looked
sorry for me and said:
"'Poor grandpa You must have had
an awful hard time And how slow
you were in those davs Ate on train,
tool Dear me, can go from here to
San Francisco without getting hungry!
Didn't the pneumatic tube work well?''
"And then?" was the query as the
dreamer paused.
''Then / explained that the pneumatic
tube route wasn't in operation at that
time, and drew out a little more sympa-
thy by telling him about an exorbitant
gas bill that had received and had to
pay because if l didn't the company
would cut off the supply. 0, but he was
surprised!
4" 'Gasr he exclaimed. What did you
want of gasp
81 explained that we used to light
our houses with gas, and the boy
couldn't pity me enough; said it must
have been awful to have to depend on
gas for light
But it was when / told him about
going home one night when the electric
lights on Clark street went out that his
heart bled for me.
"'You must have had terrible time,
grandpa, he said. 4 wouldn't have lived
in those days for anything
MY boy l said, I'VE didn't have the
comforts then that we have now, but
those hardships are what made us the
hardy race that we are"
Then the dreamer asked the crowd to
leave him while he figured out another
hard-luck tale for his grandson.

Dust and the Conlplexlon.

Dust is the great enemy of health and
of women's good looks, 1t settles in
the skin, especially where there is a
little steam to help it; the wax and oily
matter of the skin fix it till no ordinary
washing will remove it. Wrinkles are
accentuated by it, as they have deeper
bed to draw in the dust with the stylus
of time. That is the reason so many
women look about ten years younger
when they find time to take their hot
bath and the vapor has fifteen minutes
or more TO soften the tissues. There is
nothing like steam for plumping up the
skin and washing out the CRIME which
clouds every complexion not daily
treated to soap and hot water. How
many have the heating pipes of the
furnace cleared of the years accumu-
lation of dust? From the pipe coils it
is ready to enter lungs and skin, and,
being deadest of all dead matter, it is
itself death to hair, to freshness of
complexion and general vigor.-Shirley

Clubs composed of foreigners exist in
all the big cities of the world. They
are nearly all prosperous, except in the
City of New York. English clubs
which have been founded there from
time to time have failed, and the Cana
dian Club found it necessary to throw
off its restrictions on membership and
admit other persons than Canadians be-
fore it became successful. The French
societies in New York have a very lih-
eral percentage of American members,
and the German clubs are all rapidly
becoming American institutions. In
London there are two clubs which are
exclusively American in membership
and management, and there are good
English clubs in Berlin and Vienna

His Imitation of n Squeaking Spindle
Proves an unpleasant Joke.
During a sea voyage ventriloquist
made friends with the engineer of the
ship, and was allowed to enter the en-
gine-room. He took seat in the corner,
and pulling his hat down over his eyes
appeared to be lost in reverie. Pres
emily certain part of the machinery
began to squeak The engineer oiled it,
and went about his usual duties. In the
course of few minutes the squealIing
was heard again, and the engineer
rushed out can in hand, to lubricate the
same spindle. Again he returned to his
post but it was only few minutes
until the same old spindle was squeak
ing louder than ever,
"Confound the thing!" he yelled st
is bewitched!"
More oil was administered, but the
engineer began to be suspicious as to its
cause. Soon the spindle began to squeak
again, and, slipping up behind the ven
triloquist, the engineer squirted half a
pint of oil down the ioker's back.
"There, said he, that spindle won't
squeak any more. ."-London Tid-Bits,

SlBERIAL SOIL.
In Some Places it is Frozen Six Hundre,
Feet Deep.

In some IlaCcS III IL Frozen SlN
Feet Deep.
For many years scientists have been
perpleXed over the phenomenon of a
certain well at Yakutsl1, Siberia. AS
long ago as 1928 Russian merchant
began to sink this noted well, and, after
working on it for three years, gave it up
as bad job, having at that time sank
it to a depth of thirty feet without
getting through the frozen ground. He
communicated these facts to the Rus
sian Academy of Science, who sent men
to take charge of the digging operations
at the wonderful well. These scientific
gentlemen toiled away at their work for
several years, but at last abandoned it
when depth of 3S2 feet had been
reached, with the earth still frozen as
hard as rock. In 1914 the academy
had the temperature of the soil at the
sides of the well taken at various depths.
From the data thus obtained they came
to the startling conclusion that the
ground was frozen to a depth exceeding
800 feet.
Although it is known to ometerologists
that the pole of the lowest known tenn
perature is in that region of Siberia, it
is conceded that not even that rigorous
climate could force frost to such great
depth below the surface. After fgur-
ing on the subject for over a quarter of
a century, geologists have at last come
to the conclusion that the great frozen
valley of the Lena river was deposited,
frozen Just as it is found to-day, during
the great grinding up era of the glacial

Peorle VINO Eat Alone.

In all thoroughly civilized countries
the members of family and their
guests partalse of meals while collected
around a central board, but this is not
SO with the majority nr even fraction
of the semi-civilized and barbarous ma
tions. The Maldivian islanders dine
alone, retiring to the most secret parts
of their huts for the purpose of eating
their food. This custom probably arose
among them in an early period OF their
history, for fear, perhaps, that another
with equally as snarp an appetite and
more bodily strengh would deprive the
feaster of his meal.-St Louis Republic.

The Various Expressions Used on Friend,

The Various Expressions Used ON Friendly
Greeting.
1t is not, perhaps, far-fetched sug-
gestion that we may detect good deal
of natural character in the idioms en-
ployed for salutation and affirmation.
Thus the English, who are always busy
and doing something, say: "How do
you do?" The Frenchmen, who are
always thinking of their appearance
and of the impression they may make
by their department, ask: ''How do you
carry YOURSELF" The German, whose
wits are apt to be wandering in maze
of speculation, inquiries: "How do you
find yourself?" The Italian, who, when
ing good health, stands easily and moves
gracefully, deems it the most pertinent
question to ask; ''How do you stand?"
or, ''How do you go?" Another curious
fact is that the southern and Catholic
nations always say: 81 believe so,"
where the northern and Protestant ma
tions would say: II think So" 1t is as
if the former took every thing on trust
as matter of belief, while the latter
refer every thing to their own reason
and accept it as n matter of opinion
The Romans seldom gave token of as.
sent by means of simple particle like
our Eyes" but usually answered by
reaffirming the questioner's proposition.
Thus, to the inquiry; "Doy you believer"
they would reply: 81 believe" Their
''Ha est" seems to have corresponded to
the Americanism: "Thats So" One
might pursue this investigation through
all the idioms of social intercourse in
different countries, and it probably
would prove possible to explain most of
them by national temperaments and
habits of thought.-N. Y, Ledger.

The question is often asked by anna
tours do bees make wax?" The an
swer is Yes. Wax is natural secre-
ton OF the honey bees, formed in deli
cate scales on the under side of the
abdomen. While it is formed to some
extent in activity, it is formed in largest
quantities in repose, while the bees are
quietly clustering inside the hive. Wax
is used by the bees for comb building
The production of each pound requires
in the neighborhood OF twenty pounds
of honey.
Another thing that puzzles beginners
is how to render old combs without an
extractor. Wegive plan recommended
by Root in his work on bee culture. 1t
is simply large honey barrel having a
basket made Of perforated zinc suspended
in it by a hoop that rests on the top of
the barrel. a steam pipe throws a
strong Jet of steam into this basket, and
all one has to do is to shovel on the old
comb in any quantity. The wax is
found in the basket.
