Polite, but Embarrassing.

A pretty little miss Of about IA sum-
mers nearly broke up a wedding party,
ut Linwood short while ago. 1t was,
about the first wedding that she had
ever attended and she felt the lmpor-
tance Of the occasion very much. After.
the ceremony she noticed that the peo-,
pie went up to the bride and groom and
made remarks to them. She supposed
that they were words Of congratula-,
ton OF coincidence or something Of that
sort. but her Ideas Of the proper thing
to say under the circumstances were
little vague. Finally she whispered to
an old friend Of the family who was
near by:
What shall l say when I 60 up
there?" she faltered.
"Oh, just anything to show them that
you are glad they are married. Just
something complimentary, you know
In few minutes the little miss had
made her way to where the happy cou-
pie were receiving the congratulations.
There was quite crowd around, but
she didn't mind them one bit. She
marched straight up to the bride and,
extending her hand, said
II wish you many happy returns of
the day"
The remark convulsed every one in
church with the consciousness that she
had observed the roprieties.-Cincin-

Sir Wilfrid Laurier once said that he
considered the following the funniest
story in the world. DO you agree with
him?
A gentleman was once being taken
over an idiot asylum. He asked an at

was considered to be sufficiently restor-
ed to sanity to be discharged.

How the Carving Was Done


when was a young man." said a

home q lot of pearl shells beautifully
etched or engraved with figures and
landscapes on the inside of the shells.
l did not marvel SO much at the en-
craving as | did at the cheapness Of
the shells. couldn't help thinking
that some Of the engravings must have
taken n day or two to make and yet
they sold for little or nothing, my
friend said.
"On my request he made an investi-
CATION Of the subject and discovered
that the Chinese had used the follow
ing plan: Instead of craving the pic
ture into the hard shell, an operation
that would have been laborious and
slow, the Chinese drew the sketch on q
little scrap of tea lead and inserted 1t
into the pearl oyster she'll when 1t was
tender. The inside Of the shell in this
manner got an impression Of the sketch
from the tea lead picture, and as soon
as 1t was sufficiently well printed the
Chinese would take the lead out and
insert 1t In another shell, and 30 on.
That's how the carved shells came to
be so cheap or at least that was the
explanation that was made to me by

The cause OF this disastrous fire was
evidently spontaneous combustion. This
is a peril Agent Anthony and his corps
OF workers have watched for day and
night and time and again have success
fully combatted.
Soft coal is easily heated. and somc-
times II is hot when taken from the holds

TOOK GREAT CHANCES.
The corporation took great chances In
depending upon this amateur fire de-
partment There was nothing further to
lean upon other than the East Provi-
dence fire department, and II was always
feared that in the hour OF emergency
that would prove to be but a reed. Not
that the members OF that department
would fail to do their best snot that good
apparatus would not be dispatched in
answer TO a call for assistance; but that
the water pressure would fail TO meet the
demand made upon Il. and for this reason
there wss a well grounded feeling that a
fire boat should be provided for this port
The crucial test came and the futility
of depending upon an all-shore fire fight
ing system was demonstrated.
A fire boat. located at the harbor end
OF the big pier could have saved not only
a loss of more than 100000 but the wip-
ing out OF a plant which cannot be re-
placed IN months and the total abandon
ment of a coal handling business which
even in tho dun season gave employment
