Too Realistic.

"Look here said a Suffolk farmer to
a friend, ''I'm going to kill my pig, but
owe so much pork to my neighbors
that / shall have none left for myself
if I pay it all back. What would you
do?'
"Quite easy to trick EN-" said the
friend. Kill your pig and leave it
hanging outside until late at night, SOS
every one can see it. Then take 1t in
and say some one stole it. Stick to the
tale, and you'll be all right"
The farmer followed instructions,
and the kind friend watched his chance
and stole the pig. The poor farmer
came around next morning to tell what
had happened.
"Somebody's stolen my pigr' he
cried.
"Good.' said the friend. "Stick to it,
and the neighbors III believe you, sure
enough"
''But it was stolen, tell your
"Excellent!' quoth the friend. "Just
you stick to the tale"
"You COMPOUNDED ASST yelled the
farmer. Don't you understand? 1t
was really stolen!"
Superb" laughed the delighted
friend. you ought to have been an ac-
tor, so you ought"
That Suffolk farmer slammed the
door and went away fuming.-London

To Cure Round Shoulders.

In the case of round shoulders the
muscles of the back are likely to stiffen
from disuse. A special exercise to get
them into timber condition seems to
be necessary. Stretch out and down
with the arms until they nearly touch
the floor, bending back in like manner.
To successfully accomplish the latter
sit on a stool before an upright piano
or heavy desk, plant your knees firmly
against the furniture until you have
good support, then slowly bend back
ward with your hand pointed over
your head. At first you think you will
surely crack in half, so stiff are the
muscles, but astonishingly soon comes
the pliability, and as it is impossible
to fall your progress is easy and rapid.
This exercise if persisted in will
straighten out curved spine, but it
must be done gently and with patience,
because the tendons in the back are
delicate and must not be coerced.

ORLANDO BURN
His Tongue Was Safe,

A little 3-year-old of Newton has
frequently astonished his parents by
rather witty remarks. One day re-
Gently his mother was busy preparing
to go away, and Willie came into the
house and made great deal of noise
running about with his heavy shoes.
His mother told him she was SO tired
that she would like to have him go
upstairs and take his shoes off and put
his slippers on. Willie Obeyed. and
returning to the room where his moth
er was, talked necessarily. Several
times she had to stop in the midst of
her work to answer his questions.
Finally her patience became ex-
hausted, and she said: willie, will
you stop talking? You have me
crazy" He stopped minute, then re-
piled: well, you made me take my
shoes off, but you can't make me take
my tongue out anyway."-Kansas

The LustrOus Pearl.

Pearls, as most readers know, are
small bodies found either in the mother
of pearl shells or those with nacreOus
lining. They are formed either by
disease, by the presence Of parasite
or by an effort on the part of the mol
lusk to rid itself of some foreign sub
stance which has found it's way into
the shell.
Pearls are composed of many layers
Of carbonate of lime with organic mat
ter between and are not always pearly
throughout and invariably have some
small central core or nucleus. Round
pearls of fine luster and color are very
valuable, and their value increases rap
idly with their size.
