ofthe sixteenth century. to make assGr-
ance doubly sure, had the marriage cere-
mony performed while she was Standing
in closet, entirely divested of clothing.
She put out her hand through the crack
of the door and was thus married "A

What the Flags Reminded
Them of.

An American and an Englishman were
one day sitting on tie balcony Of the
house Of the AnglO-American club in
Brussels, passing the rather slow hours
in little friendly guying ofeach other.
The Engiishman sat facing the Ameri-
can flag, and the American sat fscing
the English flag. Aftera brief lnll in
the sharpshooting the Eaglishman came
out with;
81 say, old man, ye cawn't imagine
what your flag reminds nse of"
The American was serious. "Well,
what is it?n
"Why it reminds me Of a deuced big
gridiron, don't yon know"
The American smiled a sad smile and
then said
"All right, John Ba. what DO you
think your flag reminds me Of ="
Don't know"
"well, it reminds me of darned big

Take a Beech Tree.

The danger Of taking refuge under {
tree when caught in a thunderstorm j:
one ofwhich we are constantly remind
ed but, when we have to choose be-
tween getting wet through with its at
tendant discomfort and the apparently
small chance Of being struck by lightning
while under the shelter Of the tree, it IS
only natural that We should decide in
favor of the latter, says the Paris Figaro.
Under such circumstances it is Of ad-
vantage to knoW which is the pest tree
to choose for shelter 4 certain Herr
WOckert tells US that We should select q
beech tree, and gives US the following
reason
1t is always advisable to select those
trees whose leaves are hairy or eiliated
in preference to trees with smooth leaves.
The danger of being struck by lightning
depends not only upon the height of the
tree, but also upon its power Of conduct
bility, determined by the am punt Of sap
and its electric tension.
Most of US know the tendency Of points
to attract electricity, the most notable ex-
ample Of the application Of this princi-
pie being the lighting conductor. The
hair, or ella, Of leaves act the part Of
natural lightning conductors. Of thus-pre-
vent the formation of a very strong
~lectro-m0tive force therefore it sta;sds
TO reason that there is less danger in
shelteriDg under a beech tree than under
an oak or trses Of a similar kind

face worked and twisted 50 that It was
impossible to say whether be would
laugh or cry. II was evident however
that the whole situation was clear to him.
Finally he threw the pictures on one side
with laugh that shook the room.

shouted "the young monkeys deserve il
for being clever. Smartness runs in the
family, you see, and it's better like this
than if some outsider had been getting
at me-"
So the millionaire's daughter was for
given and had an opportunity Of ex-
planning show it was done" She had
no difficulty in borrowing her fathers
key, and in thus getting duplicate of
the drawer key of the bed room during
the time Mr.. Burt had carried his papers
home. When once the drawer was open
pair Of forceps was substituted for the
key, and the documents were borrowed
for perusal, to be replaced after in the
same position as before.
Having herself devised the code, she
was well able to read the cipher. Ber-
tram SOlyyn had made his own terms
with the stock exchange clique for the
information and had really waxed rich
at his prospective father in-laH's e1-

When Mr.. Burt paid me for my ger
vices he was very exuberant over the
"snartness Of the family" and even
quoted the proverb. "What is bred in
the bone comes out in the flesh" with
out seeing that the quotation was not
exactly compliment to his daughter.
