 ''I beg your pardon. sir. but that is exactly what my father thought and said when he found it necessary to leave the stock of coal for q few nights in the open air, and il was discovered that it had diminished to the alarming extent of over 70 per cent. He then ccsssulted me, as student of chemistry. as to what could be done to stay such loss. and suggested that n savage dog should be procured and kept chained near the coals. He took my advice. and since then our coais have not lost so much as per cent in an entire month. Lion don Tit Bits.

The unsolved Problem.

He had spent long years in college and acquir ed all kinds of knowledge. From smoking cigarettes to reading Greek. And il was said by many that in Hebrew, Es- kimo and Latin With the accent of a native he could speak He knew every modern science. and for every new appliance He was able some improvement to suggest. And from bending on a hawser up to criticis- ing Chaucer Of all the greatest minds he was abreast. He was charmed with hydrostatics, and in higher mathematics Not thing to stump him could he find, And to prove a lines direction or bisect a conio section
 Was but a relaxation to his mind. But he saw a little maiden after all this store he laid in, The most inviting problem he had met, And he felt tt was his mission to employ his erudition
 To solve this most inviting problem yet so. without n bit of shirking. he has ever since been working On the question with an Ardor that never tires, But with all his application, to his great and deep vexation, He cannot get the answer he desires.

 In the light uf modern invention this excuse nU longer exists. and we now have a means of carrying the dirt from ditches toward the crown of the road and distributing it in a smooth and uni form manner. so that the rainwater Is carried from the center into the side ditChes. and Th" wagon tracks may be kept comparatively dry
 \ blow should not be used in work ing dirt road except when actually necessary. because plOwed surface is difficult to make smooth and hard. and the blow is likely to cut too deeply into the earth.
