Telephone numbers have an actual

American Bell, Telephone company.
1.-THE assertion has a strange sound,
but II you think for moment Of the
advantage a business house derives
from having its location well known

"In the course of time peoples minds
begin to associate a firm with its tele-
phone number, and II when they start
to call up an old friend they ind him

Is as much of a shock as II they had

The Sneeze Wood Tree,

The remarkable sneeze wood tree is a
native of Natal and other parts Of
South Africa. It's funny name was
given to 1t because one cannot saw II
without sneezing violently.
The dust of its wood has Just the
same effect as the strongest snufr and
Is so irritating TO the nose that work
men are obliged to sneeze even when
they are planting 1t.
If a piece OF the wood Of this tree is
put In the mouth. II is found to have
very bitter taste. and no doubt 1t is this
bitterness which prevents insects OF
any kind from attacking the timber of
the ''sneeze wood" tree.
The fact that insects find 1t so disa-
greeable makes its wood very valuable
for work that is required TO last long
time.

The Average Lawsuit.

There is nothing more ridiculous than
the average lawsuit. Two men dispute
over n few dollars and go to law. Both
are sure to lose. Their neighbors are
dragged in as witnesses. and the costs
amount to 10 or 20 times the amount In
dispute. Frequently these lawsuits
ruin families and start quarrels that
last for years. Some men claim 1t is
principle" that actuates them in these
lawsuits. 1t is bullheadedness. pure
and simple. 1t is nearly always easy
to "split the difference"
Another bad feature about these law
suits is that the county is put to con-
siderable expense. and men willing to
work are compelled to sit on the jury
Settle your disputes without going to
law. If the man with whom you are
disputing is not willing to split the
difference" he will probably accept a
proposition to leave it to three neigh
bors.-Atchison Globe.

THE DATE OF THE FLOOD.
Bible Facts on Which the Bishop
Based His Question.

Bible Facts on Which the Bishop
Based His Question.
Some people had fun over the re-
ported rejection Of eight candidates for
the African Methodist ministry in the
south by the examining bishop because
they could not tell the date Of the
flood Nevertheless the bishop who
asked the question knew what he was
doing. 1t may not have been a fair
question, but there is a concise answer
to it in the Bible, and he no doubt
thought that the eight candidates, If
they were well versed in the Old Tesla
ment, would answer it at once.
The date of the food was 1856 years
after the birth Of Adam, in the second
month and the seventeenth day. 1t be-
gan then and continued for 40 days
and nights. This is how it Is figured:
The third verse of the fifth chapter of
Genesis reads thus, "And Adam lived
100 years and begat son in his own
likeness, after his image, and called his
name Seth" Then In the sixth verse
1t Is told that Seth lived 105 years and
begat Enos. Adam, says the fourth
verse, lived 800 years after the birth
of Seth, and the latter after the birth
Of Enos lived S07 years. So 1t goes on.
Enos begat Calnan when he was 80;
Calnan begat Mahalaleel when he was
IS; Mahalaleel begat Jared when he
was IS; Jared begat Enoch when he
was 1872. Methuselah was born to
Enoch when the latter was 65, and
when Methuselah was 1877 he begat
Lamech. and Lamech's son Noah came
into the world when the father was
1872. This brings US down to the birth
of Noah, which, according to the added
ages of the several patriarchs at the
time their sons were born, occurred
1,056 years after the birth Of Adam.
In the seventh chapter Of Gensis the
eleventh verse reads as follows: "In
the six hundredth year of Noah's life,
in the second month, the seventeenth
day of the month, the same day were all
the fountains Of the great deep broken
up and all the windows Of heaven
were opened" This was the food,
and It came to pass In the year 1866
after the birth Of Adam.

WINGS.

The gods but half reluctantly
Grant US the gift Of song:
Yet, tawny throat. they give to thee
Pure notes and pinions strong.
To those blue worlds that arch above
We look, aspire-and fail.
Thou. thou dost mount the skies We love.
The stars we never scale.
Thou knowest not, winged soul, II. fires
OF that old discord strange,
The vast and infinite desires,
The all too finite range.
So sing for US! Our threats are still,
And song no solace brings
To whom the gods have given the will.
But not, alas, the wings!
