How He Did It,

A series Of petty thefts from the
commissary tents Of the Kandahar
field force had baffiei the officers so
completely that It was deemed ad,
visable to substitute Goorkas for the
English sentries.
Almost Immediately one Goorka SEN
try caught a Pathan thief red-handed,
and was brought before an officer and
commanded to tell how it was lone.
Il walk about my post" said the
Goorka. 81 see Pathan badmash ap.

Summer Hints.

Ice should be used, not abused. To
hack it way senselessly as do most per-
sons is sinful waste. Ice shavers are
cheap, in lieu of which a pin pressed
in will do the work.
Bowls of ice placed about in an in
valid's room will cool It quickly aud,
incidentally, save the nurse; tanning
Is weary work.
Flowers, even in pots or around the
city walls, carry to every heart a joy
GUS message, but upon suburban
porches let green run riot.
The beneficial hose plays a great
part in summer. 1t is too often used
carelessly. Water is almost as disas-
trous as fire as destroyer. Blow out
the hose and dry it daily.
Screens-house screens-are marvels
of use in summer. A summer cold is a
miserable affection. A screen before
an open window is wisdom placed be-
fore dawn, especially.
Charcoal used to heat water for
bathing is effective. Gallons may be
heated in a jiffy or two jifies, and
there you are.-Philadelphia Record.

Some Things Worth Knowing.

some 1hlngb worth KNOWING.
When there is sickness in the family
there are so many extra steps to be
taken that one should so plan that all
extra work may be spared. There are
constant call for ice in many cases and
with the refrigerator Of the ice chest
in the far distant cellar, a little hint
as to how ice may be kept almost in
definitely will be appreciated. Put a
piece Of ice, say five (jeh4s' worth, in a
kitchen bowl. Stand the bowl on a
pillow, cover the bowl first with q
large plate and then with another pill
low. In this way the ice will keep dur
ing a whole night. If placed in an ice
chest, wrap 1t in several thicknesses Of
newspaper. During the sultry weather
ice that would not last "a hours may
in this way be kept from Saturday
until Monday morning.

A new plan having for it's object the
distribution of young trees throughout
the country will be put into practical
operation next year by the secretary
Of agriculture. An investigation has
been made to discover the varieties
which will thrive best in the various
localities, and the distribution will be
made in manner somewhat similar
to that employed in the seed distribu
ton authorized by Congress. Special
attention will he given to trees of the
nut-bearing shade, and lawn variety
and oaks. Ash and lindens will also
constitute prominent portion of the
distribution. The secretary believes
that the idea will prove popular,

What, no, there, Ivan Witchiswitch,
The moon has left the sky,
The morning sun is rising fast,
And so, j faith, must I.
Get out my safest suit of clothes,
No garb Of fimsy cloth,
But rather one with steel begirt,
For I must sally forth.
This morn walk across the yard,
Across the yard and back,
And I on such a fearsome jaunt,
No proper garb should lack.
Get out my shoes of copper brown.
Get out my socks of mail,
Get out the double-armored coat
That sports the iron tail;
I want shirt of tempered steel,
A pair of pants to match,
"A hat so firm and hard and stanch,
That bullets cannot scratch.
I'll button every seam with nails
And rivets use for studs,
And then I'll seek the molten bath
To Harveyize my buds.
Prepare the bath, o Witchiswitch,
And do it quick, warn,
For who can tell, some Nihilist
Might shoot me while you're gone.
