The Letter He Did Not Mail.

As he left the house In the morning,
Said his wife: Here's letter to mail;
And see that you don't forget it!'
So he told her, of course, ned not fail.
AS he placed 1t into his pocket
The address on the letter he saw,
And the name Of 1t was somewhat fami
lar
1t was that of his mother-in-law.
And then grim fact he remembered,
That his wife had threatened to send
And invite her to make Il long visit
What else could this letter portend?
look Of profound resolution
Did over his features prevail;
For Il week it reposed in his pocket
The letter he did not mail
Then one evening, when home returning,
He met his dear wife at the door,
Who asked if he'd mailed that letter
She gave him a week before.
He told her. of course, he had mailed 1t;
Then it's very peculiar, said she,
For I'd written before to mother
To ask her to visit me.
"And that letter was to inform her
I'd rather she'd wait till next Fall
But here she arrived this morning
She never received 1t at all!''
Until he was alone be waited,
Then kicked himself like fail,
And tore into uttermost atoms
The letter he did not mail,

Looking without seeing.

Perhaps you are an exception to the
rule, but il you are not you have prob
ably on many occasions, just after look
ing at your watch, been forced to ac-S
knowledge to a friend who asked you
the time that you did not know what it
was. Yet you undoubtedly took your
timepiece out of your pocket locked at
it's face and carefully replaced it in
your pocket showing logical Sc
quence of thought and well defined
object. which did not however, result
In leaving sufficiently distinct i'm
preston on your mind to satisfy your
friends Curiosity as to the hour of the
day. The motion was not an inyolun
tary one, like that of the boy who can
not too often admire his first chronom-
eter, nor yet habtual. for few persons
are merely in the habit Of taking out
their watches. One does so only for
specific purpose.
Now. how may this seeming contra
diction be accounted for? Perhaps the
reason is that not once in ten times
does man look at his watch to see
what the actual time is, but rather to
learn whether he still has time to ac-
complish some purpose. He mag want
to keep an appointment at certain
time or to be sure not to miss a boat
or train. When he takes out his watch.
| therefore, he instinctively looks for
the hands in the position called for by
that particular moment, and when he
sees that they have not yet reached
that point he returns the watch to it's
resting place, with his mind relieved.
The actual position of the hands real
ly plays no part at all in the opera
ton, and so when the time is asked of
him he is unable to reply. In other
words. he accomplishes the paradoNical
feat of intently looking at a thing with
out really seeing it.

White Wax.

Tie white wax exported from China
is made by the curious method of using
insects in its production. These in
eects are found in brown pea shaped
excrescences or gals attached to an
evergreen tree called the insect tree"
The gals are gathered in May and car
ried in headlong fight to the market
towns 10y bearers, who travel at night
so that the heat may not force the in
sects to emerge during the journey.
They are then placed on the wax
tree" which is stump varying from
8 to u feet in height, with numerous
branches rising from the top, similar
to the pollard willow.
The wax insects are made into small
packets of 20 or 80 gals, which are in
closed in leaf OF the wood oil tree,
fastened together with rice straw
These packets are suspended close to
the branches under which they hang.
On emerging from the gals the insects
creep rapidly up the branches, to which
they attach themselves and begin form
ing a coating of wax that in about
three months attainS thickness OF al
most a quarter Of an inch.
The branches are then cut off, and
after removing as much Of the wax as
possible by hand they are put in ket-
tie Of hot water, when the remaining
wax floats on the surface and the In.
sects finish their term Of usefulness by
going to the bottom.

DOWN
THE FRESHMAN FLAG TORN TO
SHREDS.
BY Sophomores With Poles and Fish
Hooks.

Ed Haworth, Charles Dixon and VIII
bur Thomas, all members of the soph-
more class of the Friends university,
went up into the tower Of the university
building last night and with fishing poles
and hooks tore down the greater part
Of the freshmen's flag from the flag pole.
None of them would go up on the roof
and take the flag down. but they took
board and showed II out through win
dow and one Of the men sat on the
board and fshed for the flag. 1t was
pitch dark and all the boys could do was
10 reach and tear the flag. and the
greater part was torn from the stan;
and what is left is in shreds.
The boys were determined that the flag
should come down, and after the foot
ball practice the boys left the field and
came 70 town and purchased the long
cane poles and some large fish hooks
and, after driving around until after
dark, went into the building and UP TO
the tower. The ladders into the tower
were removed during the day and they
had a hard job getting up. especially as
they had to drag the poles after them.
They also took ropes with them. When
they reached the highest part they tied
the rope 10 a brace and then slid board
out through the window and tied Il
down. Then one OF the boys went out
down. There sat the man. with his feet
dangling, 80 feet above the ground.
There was quite a gale blowing and 10
was hard work handling the poles. The
two had been tied together and the hooks
wired on the end. When one OF the
men got tired another would take his
place, and thus they worked for three
hours. and were almost too tired 10
move, and as far as they could see the
flag was down Then they put a piece
OF the banner IN their pockets, threw
the poles down and went home
