One Of the women's patriotic socie-
ties held an open meeting in Washing
ton recently, and the members were
called upon to respond to various senti-
ments of patriotic character. The
woman who had the affair in charge
notified each member of the toast she
would be expected to respond to ten
days or so before the meeting. To one
young woman whom, as it happened,
she did not know personally at all she
sent the toast, "Our Fag." The young
woman received it, and at once went to
call on the head of the society in a state
of great distress. She simply could not
respond to the toast, she said. She didn t
know whether joke was intended, but
she had been ohaffed numerically about
it already and just simply wouldn't go
near the meeting if she were to be call
ed on to speak on that subject.
why, what on earth is wrong with
that sentiment" asked the head of the
society.
The pretty young woman hesitated
She blushed.

HELPS THE PLUMBER.
THE House Rat Eats Quantities of Lead
Pipe and Creates Sewer Gas.

Ehe House Rat Eats Quantities OF Lead
Pipe and Creates Sewer Gas.
One of the most persistent and de-
struotive assistants the plumber has is
the house rat. A rat can eat out plumb
ing as fast as an average honest man
can pay for it. To rat greasy lead
pipe is toothsome moroccan. When a
hungry rat forsakes the barn and finds
his way into the cellar of a house and
thence up through the walls to the
space between the floors, the first thing
he tackles is the grease on the outside
of lead waste pipe. If he finds other
food shortly thereafter, he spares the
pipe, otherwise he eats the pipe and the
water escapes through to the ceiling
below and ruins the plaster. The plumb
er is sent for and repairs the leak, but
he doesn't tell what caused it.
Once upon a time rat was "hoist
by his own petard," SO to speak. He
got into house and found his way to a
lead pipe, on which he tried his teeth.
It was pleasant chewing and put fine
edge on his teeth, so he continued. Soon
he had eaten large hole in the pipe
and stream of scalding water poured
forth. Before he could escape he had
been scalded to death, to say nothing of
being drowned. But he had the satisfac-
ton of knowing that he had ruined a
fine ceiling and that the carpet under
meath it had been soaked full of lime
water. There is no great loss without
some small gain.
| Just to show what they could do,
some rats once ate 30 feet of lead pipe
under bathroom and over the kitchen
of a big hotel in this city. The floor of
the bathroom was marble and under it
was a f1reproof floor made of iron beams
and hollow tiles. The pipes were laid
in the space between the floor and the
Orders. Rats were attracted thereto by
the odors from the kitchen. They met
the lead pipes. When their appetites
were satisfied, the space was filed with
lead dust.
Rats like to eat drain pipes from
kitchen sinks because they are lined
with grease. The only way to keep
them away is to pack the pipes with
mineral wool. Mineral wool is a sub
stance made of furnace Stag through
which jet of air has been forced while
it cooled. The mineral wool gets into
the eyes of the rats and drives them
away Modern plumber discourage rats
by laying iron instead of lead pipes.
Rats, strange to say, are great breed
ers of sewer gas. They gather up bones
and scraps of meat about the kitchen
yard and carry them up into the rafters
between floors and ceilings. The pres
ence of this plumber is sooner or later
discovered by the odor, and the plumber
is sent for to discover whence the sewer
gas comes. 1t is not always well to tell
the housekeeper the truth.
Thus it is the humble brown house
rat helps his friend the plumber earn
an honest livelihood, and the plumber
thanks him in his own gentle way

How a Chameleon Changes color.

The chameleon is little lizard who
possesses the wonderful power of chang
ing his color to suit his own conven-
fence. Florida produces several species
of these lizards i'll abundance. This is
the process by which the little lizard
effects his changes:
Certain colors through the medium OF
the optic nerve produce a contraction OF
expansion of the pigment or color cells.
The result is a protective tint or one
which resembles that upon which the
animal is resting. The eye receives the
stimulus or impression, which passes
from the optic nerve to the sympathetic
nerve, SO reaching the various series of
the lizard s little color cells under the
skin.
The pigment cells are distributed all
over the body with more or less regular
ity, and upon their contraction and ex-
pansion depends the prevailing color of
the animal.
The scientist discovered this by blind
folding lizard and found that when it
could not see the color of the surround
ing foliage it ceased to change it's own
color.-St. Louis Republic

1t is now 800 years since Sir Walter
Raleigh lived in Ireland, but, according
to Sir John Pope of Hennessy many
traces of his residence there can still be
seen. The richly perfumed yellow wall
flowers that he brought to Ireland from
the Azores and the Atfane cherry are
still found where he first planted them,
by the Blackwater.
Some cedars he brought to Cork are
to this day growing at a place called
Tiyio. The four venerable yew trees, the
branches of which have twined and in
termingled into sort of summer house
thatch, are pointed out as having shell
tered Raleigh when he first smoked to-
bacco in his Youghal garden. In that
garden he also planted tobacco. A few
steps farther on, where the town wall
of the thirteenth century surrounds the
garden of the warden's house, is the IA
nous spot where the first Irish potato
was planted by him.-Chioago Record

1--WE would advise those of our friends
who are anxious to excel their neighbors
to raise few plants of the leading va
rieties, such as Table Queen, Beauty,
Stone, Champion, Perfection, Acme,
Ponderosa, Optimus, Climax, Matchless,
and to select from these the finest speci-
mems, having the brightest colors, the
fewest seeds and borne by the thriftiest
and most productive vines. Do this year
after year. Tomatoes cross very freely,
and when the best kinds are thus plant
ed together a careful selection will, in
our opinion, In few years give the
most perfect tomatoes for the locality
where the selections are made.
"All varieties are changing from year
to year, because they cross SO readily. If,
therefore, we plant in the same field
the best varieties of the present time, it
seems reasonable to suppose that careful
selection will do all that and perhaps
more than artificial crossing can do. 1t
is selection of the fittest. " This is the
advice of Rural New Yorker.

Immediately after smoke. Fill the
bowl with your favorite brand and press

Do Bees Freeze?

Asked whether bees may freeze to
death outdoors when the mercury sinks
to 80 degrees below zero, Doolittle says
in Gleanings that they may starve, but
never freeze. A small cluster may
freeze, but not whole colony. Quinby
said that the bees inside the cluster on
zero morning could fly as readily as
in July should the cluster be suddenly
thrown apart. Gallup, when in upper
Canada, told in The American Bee Jour
nal that the thermometer for so days
in succession was not above 10 degrees
below zero, and for eight of these days
the mercury was frozen, yet my bees,
in box hives, with two inch hole at
the top and the bottom plastered up
tight, came through in excellent condi-
ton" Doolittle finds in the hive, with
the bulb of the thermometer touching
the outside of the cluster, temperature
of 45 to 46 degrees, and in the center
of the cluster So to GA degrees when it
is 10 to % degrees below outside.
