CreSta.

"You will not find one woman in hundred who is familiar with the rules of heraldry." said fashionable stationer. "Ladies insist on having crests embossed on their writing paper, even when tell them that they are permitted by the usages of centuries to use only the arms. A handsome woman came in the store one day and said, MT. B., l wish you would put crest and arms on my paper. I knew it would be useless to argue about the crest, and so I asked her, Have you any crest with your Oh, no! haven't any, she answered. You can make nice one, can't you? I learned that her husband was grain dealer, so for crest designed sheaf of wheat. For the arms I designed some hawk heads on shield, and she was delighted"
 Women who are interested in these things should observe the regulations set down for the use of spinsters, married women and widows. A specified frame for the arms should be used by each. The spinster is required to put her fam lily arms into a diamond frame, with very simple adornment. When wom- an marries, the arms of her family must be put on the same shield with the arms of her husband. The shield is impaled, the wife's arms occupying one position and the husbands the other. If she be- comes a widow, the frame for her arms again assumes the form of diamond, symboliZing her unmarried state, while her arms and the arms of her deceased husband remain impaled as formerly Chicago Inter Ocean.

In the guise of fine brandy have we not drank alcohol made from potatoes added to by sulphuric acid, ammonia or white soap, colored with nutgalls or car amels, and owing its savor to insect powder, ginger and pimento put into 1t profusely? As for rum, it is colored with prunes or with tar, and savor is given by adding the raspings of tanned leather. In beer, instead of hops we find aloes, gentian, centaury and OK bile. In the milk we drink there are water, whites of eggs, brown sugar, rice. essence of car rots and the brains of animals. Some times there is even little real milk drawn from real, live COW.

The Way to Get old.

To the banale and eternal question, ''How are you!' the wise old man allows himself but one answer, 'tI am very we'll" He knows perfectly well that his innocent deception, if deception it be, deceives no one. Perhaps it is we'll that he does not realize, for of self conscious ness we have enough and to spare, that the remembrance of his fortitude, pigeon holed and forgotten perhaps for long years in the mind of the listener, may come forth one day to hearten that same listener along the cruel way when it shall be his turn to tread it.
 For so are accounts carried forward and not always to the wrong side of the page, and if it is true that the sins of the parents are visited on the children it is equally true that the luster of their vir- tues shines on long after the darkness has covered them. Is he of those who desire pity for their falling power? The surest way of getting it is to keep si- lence.
 Almost as important and almost as much neglected is the care for personal appearance. After 60 vanity of the per son should be carefully cultivated. After 60 coxcombry in man and coquetry in a woman become cardinal points. Can

What a First Class Fare Means.

There are some people who imagine that wealth entities them to privileges not accorded to the general public and exempts them from obligations and rules that others are disposed to obey. An incl dent which occurred on one of our ocean steamers conveys a wholesome lesson to the purse proud contemners of the rights of the majority. A family of unlimited wealth had secured the best accommo- dation the steamer afforded.
 The gentleman and his wife kept them selves secluded most of the time, but the children were allowed to run wild over the steamer until they became such in- tolerable nuisances that the captain was spoken to, and he gave the youngsters a severe reprimand. This reused the in dignation of the mother, who remarked to the captain that as she paid first class fare she thought she was entitled to first class privileges.
 Madam" ," said the captain, first class fare means first class conduct" There was no further protest.-London Tit Rits

Deep Sea Thermometer,

The deep sea thermometer, as invented abroad and improved by officers of the United States navy, is a marvelously in- genious and effective contrivance. It is in effect a self registering instrument, though not technically so called. The thermometer is so arranged that it is au- tomatically turned upside down when the machinery begins to draw it up from the depth at which the temperature is to be ascertained. The effect of the invert- ing process is to break the column of mercury, and a small portion of the col umn remains in the upper end of the tube, exactly enough to measure the tenn perature at the moment of inversion. The tube is graduated so as to read from either end, and the quantity of mercury ill the upper part of the tube is so small that 1t does not respond to any but great and sudden changes of temperature. It thus happens that the reading, when the thermometer reaches the surface, is prac- tically correct for the temperature at the point of invcrsion.-Kansas City Times

Her cheeks like tinted apple bloom, Her teeth like gleaming pearls, Her eyes as blue as summer skies, A wealth of golden curls. And as gazed upon her face There came look of pain. Like cloudy shadow OCT the land It passed, then came again. I saw the teardrops in her eyes, The rose tint fade away, And that fair cheek grow deathly pale In speechless agony.

Florida Style of Eating Oranges.

There are many ways of eating or anges, but the Floridian has probably the most common sense way of disposing of the fruit. He uses 8 sharp knife and pares the orange much the same as one would peel an apple, taking care not to cut through the white rind that protects the pulp. Then holding the orange at the poles and cutting through the cen ter the seed pods are removed. The rest is easy. As a colored boy ill Jackson vile said, Put yoah face in it and eat till you come to the rind."-New York Sunbeam.

Starvation Among the Rich.

Death by starvation is thing not re- stricted to periods of business depression nor to the poor. Perhaps there are more ill nourished people in proportion among the rich than among the poor. The number of persons that seek relief from threatened starvation in the exclusive milk diet is constantly on the increase, but it is remedy almost of necessity confined to those who have sufficient control over their own doings to take meal every hour and half, thing hardly consistent with earning living at manual labor.-Philadelph Press.

ALL ABOUT PENS.
An Interesting Account of Their Invention
 and Evolution.

An Interesting Account of Iheif AhVsHeloh
 and Evolution.
 Sharp pointed bodkins. made of bronze, of steel or of iron, were the first pens, and they were used for cutting out let ters and hieroglyphics ill the limestone, sandstone or steatite of eastern countries. Such pens were also used for writing on Assyrian tablets. The tablets were made of soft clay, and after receiving inscrip- tions were dried in the sun or baked in the fire.
 In the far east and in Egypt the cam els hair pencil soon took the place of the metal bodkin. With the pencil letters were painted on the skins of animals and the bark of trees, in much the same manner that the Chinese draw them on paper at the present day.
 In Persia, Greece and Syria wax and leaden tablets came into use. and the stylus became the popular pen. The stylus was made of bone, ivory or metal, with one end pointed and the other flat tened. Tho fattened end was used to erase errors made in writing.
 The use of parchment and papyrus, however, called for a more flexible pen than either the bodkin or the stylus, so reed pens were invented. For making these pens peculiar kind of reed was used, which was shaped to point and split, similar to the pens now in use.
 In A. D. 553 it was discovered that uuills made much better pens than reeds. The ouills of the goose, the swan and the crow were used principally. Several centuries later, when writing paper was introduced into England, tw' quill pen was still the favorite writing instrument. However, the qnill pens had been great ly improved, and those from Russia and Holland were excellent.
 In the early part of the present century there was demand for something better and more dura ble than quill pens. Ac- cordingly a great many experiments were made with horn, glass, tortoise shell and finally with steel, silver and gold. Itwas soon found that pens made of horn and tortoise shell softened under the action of the ink and were not so good as quill pens. Nor were the silver pens very good. They were too elastic and too easily worn at the points,
 In 1903 steel was tried in Wise's barrel pens, but being poorly made and very expensive they were not 8 success. At Birmingham, England, in 1920 the man. ufacture of steel pens began in earnest, and they proved to be excellent. The first gross of steel pens sold in Birming- ham brought $36 at wholesale.
 They were soon manufactured Ill great numbers and have been getting better and cheaper all the time, until now we can buy for trifle the best steel pen made. Europe has always excelled in the manufacture of steel pens, and Amer ica is noted for the manufacture of gold pens.-PhiladeIphi Times.

Glyeerin.

Glycerin is one of the most useful and misunderstood of everyday drugs. It must not be applied to the skin undilut- ed, or it will cause it to become red and hard, but if rubbed well into the skin while wet it has softening and whiten- ing effect. It will prevent and cure chapped hands and soothe an irritable cough by moistening the dryness of the throat. Applied to shoes, glyoerin is a great preseryative of the leather and ef- fectually keeps out the water and pre- vents wet feet.-New York Advertiser.

Telling Trees by Electricity.

Trees are telled by electricity in the great forests of Galicia. For cutting comparatively soft woods the tool is in the form of an auger, which is mounted on carriage, and is moved to and fro and revolved at the same time by sfnall electric motor. As the cut deepens, wedges are inserted to prevent the rift from closing, and when the tree is near ly cut through an ax or handsaw is used to finish the work. In this way trees are felled very rapidly and with but little labor.-London Tit-Bits

Stale Bread.

It is generally supposed that the stale ness of bread arises from its becoming actually drier by the gradual loss of wa ter, but this is not the case. Stale bread contains almost exactly the same pro portion of water as new bread after it has become completely cold. The change is merely in the internal arrangements of the molecules of the bread. A proof of this is that if we put stale loaf into a closely covered tin, expose it for half an hour or an hour to heat not exceed ing that of boiling water and then ar lowing it to cool, it will be restored in appearance and properties to the state of the new bread.
