HE KEPT HIS WORD.

my Darling" These tender words
were painted in large letters on the
dashboard of big truck in the street,
says the Philadelphia Times. The thor
oughfare was jammed with vehicles,
and drivers were filling the air with
profanity. But the driver Of this par
ticular truck sat silent and motionless.
No word of his offended the ears of the
patient, plodding beast over which he
held the reins. During the din of
curses curious man stepped forward,
and inquired:
"You seem to take things very easy
in this blockade"

was the laconic reply. Besides" he

Papa, your Nellie is going to die ;

Just then the blockade was raised,
and "My Darling" rumbled on.

ABILITY TO STAND HEAT AND COLD.

1t is only possible for animal and
vegetable organisms to maintain their
functions when the temperature is
ranging between certain limits, but the
ability of either Of the classes mention
ed to withstand abnormal heat or cold
varies greatly. For an instance we
are told that Sir George Mares and
party, as well as the dogs which they
took with them, withstood 4S hours OF
cold equal to 81 degrees below the
zero of Fahrenheit, while Prof. Chau-
bert, the French "Fire King" has often
remained for a considerable length OF
time in ovens heated to temperature
of 500 degrees.
The lower orders of animal creation,
such as fishes, reptiles and insects may
be frozen perfectly hard without harm,
provided they be slowly and carefully
''thawed out" The various animalcu-
lac may be dried until absolutely void
of moisture, and then restored to life
with fluids, as many as dozen differ
ent times.
Seeds which have been kiln-dried
may be kept in the lowest artificial
temperature known, for all indefinite
period without being injured in the
least.
In growing plants there is however,
q minimum temperature, and below
this, life ceases to exist. Most plants
and vegetables become inactive, when
the mercury sinks to near the freezing
point. Then, again, each species of
plant, has its maximum as we'll as its
minimum temperature. If heated
above this maximum (Which ranges
from 95 to 130 degrees in the different
species), death almost instantly results,
whereas few degrees below the mini
mum temperature simply suspends the
activity of the plants for the time be-
ing.

1T WAS WORTH A DOLLAR.

I once answered an advertisement,
said visitor to St. Louis to Globe
Democrat reporter, which offered in
return for 81 bill to send an infallible
remedy for the habit of leaving ones
umbrella behind in Offices, and more
especially in vehicles. AS a money
maker that advertiser was distinct
genius, for in response to my applica-
cation, and in return for my 81, re-
ceived q printed slip about 4 inches by
3 in size, with picture of man
alighting from a hack with an open
umbrella, which he got stuck fast in
the door.
Below the picture, which, it was cx-
planned, was purposely drawn out OF
perspective, were a few lines explain
ing that if q man would once impress
the picture in his mind, he would think
of it every time he left a vehicle or car,
and would be prevented thereby from
leaving his umbrella behind.
I was in such rage at being swim
died, as + thought, that the incident
and illustration both became photo
graphed in my minds eye, and, to do
the advisor justice, that dollar has cer-
tainly saved me many dollars year
in umbrellas.
The science of munemonics is very
peculiar one, and few people under
stand it. Years ago it was common to
tie a knot in ones handkerchief as a
reminder of anything, and this plan
has been improved upon from time to
time. I have a friend who always
hangs his hat on a peg in his office,
and has small brass file just below
the peg.
By hanging loose memos. on this file
he can scarcely leave the office without
being reminded of important duties or
engagements. Another man, who has
no clock in his Office, slips memos. in
his watchpocket, so that when he looks
to see if it is time to 60 home, he will
also notice whether he has forgotten
anything.
