A young school teacher, who has just
been elected supervising principal Of a
downtown school at $3.50 salary. was
rendered a congratulatory luncheon the
other day by a half dozen other teachers
in the same school. One Of the fair ones
presided, and in teasing the guest of the
occasion. said: Girls Miss H deserves
all she has been given. While we were
playing pinochle, going to the theater
with the boys and each other, and taking
sleigh rides in the park. always with the
boys last winter. she was studying for that
81, $50 position. i don't know that there are
any more OF them lying around. but
think we ought to pass resolution taboo
ing pinochle, the theaters, sleigh rides and
the Geographically the boys-and get down
to work in case any more should turn up"
AS the motion was about to be put on the
resolution one demure maiden said: "Pll
agree to everything. but don't bar all the
boys, for you see. while Miss H was por-
ing away I was having glorious good
time with one of the boys. who has a sal
airy of 5000 year, and were going TO be
married in November" The luncheon party
Joined in a hearty laugh. but Miss H
declared that she wouldn't trade her posi-
ton for all the men in the world.

Protection from Mice.

A writer in the Vermont Chronicle pro-
tects his fruit trees from mice with strips
of lath or old barrel slaves tied around the
stem. They cost little and last several
years. Early in spring he passes around
among the trees and cuts the cord used In
tying and often finds many insects. which
are quickly destroyed by rubbing two
pieces together. This continuance thus an
swers a double purpose-excludes the mice
in winter, and becomes a trap for insects
afterward. The lower ends of the laths are
pushed slightly into the. ground, and the
tying near the top makes them secure.
Two smart boys have applied the strips to
from three to four hundred trees in a day.
In regions where mice are abundant, IL is
we'll worth while to protect young orchard
trees this way before the advent of winter,
or else with the conical mounds OF smooth,
compact earth a foot high. which the mice
will not ascend under snow.
