The difficulty of rhyming to ''girl' is
mainly due to the varieties of it's Pro-
nunciation. 1t is never pronounced, as
it is so often conventionally written,

hard "g." Moreover. in Scotland,
though it is as well not to mention the
fact to a Scotsman, it consists of two

Very SfunIe.

A rather simple looking lad halted
before n blacksmith's shop on his way
home from school and eyed the doings
of the proprietor with much interest.
The brawny smith, dissatisfied with
the boys curiosity, held piece of red
hot iron suddenly under the youngsters
nose. hoping to make him beat a hasty
retreat
IF you'll give me half dollar, I'll
lick it," said the lad.
The smith took from his pocket half
a dollar and held it out.

A Curious Custom.

In some parts of Brittany a curious
marriage custom prevails. On certain
fete days the marriageable girls appear
in red petticoats, with white or yellow
borders round them. The number of
borders denote the portion the father
is willing to give his daughter. Each
white band denotes $50 per annum:
each yellow band represents 5000 a
year.

"The narghile is the best instrument
TO smoke tobacco through, provided you
use it in the right way" said a man
who knows. "Nlost people use it in the
wrong way They load it with tobacco
and light up with a match as though
II was pipe they were smoking. This
is incorrect, and the narghile, so
abused, has an abominable taste and
Odor. The right way to use the mar
CHILE Is first to dip your tobacco in
water, squeeze the water out and place
the soaked, damp mass in the pipe
bowl. Then you take a lump of burn
ing charcoal and set 1t on the top OF
the wet tobacco and begin 10 smoke.
The tobacco itself, you see, is not really
allght; it's the charcoal that's alight; IL
is the burning charcoal that eats the
tobacco up. This is the secret OF mar
CHILE smoking. And narghile, smoked
properly, is delicious-makes, in fact,
the very best smoke in the world."-

How many OF those who use eau de
cologne from Cologne daily. one might
almost say hourly are aware OF the
fact that il was invented by an Italian
and not by a son OF the Fatherland,
which gives its name?
Almost 200 years ago an Italian
priest. Glovan Maria Farina, eked out
his modest fortune 10y selling pcrfum-
cry, little art objects and so on at Do
modossola. In 1902, happening TO be
in Cologne and making use OF some OF
the finest vegetable productions Of the
country. he discovered the secret Of
the miraculous perfume, which has
never been revealed TO this day except
TO his descendants. He soon devoted
himself TO the sale Of his invention,
which was so satisfactory that need
ing help IN It's manufacture, he had his
brother ana nephew join him from
Italy.
The Increasing fame Of the water
brought increasing difficulties OF rival
ry. New firms who stole his name, his
trademarks stamps and so on sprang
up like mushrooms, but they could not
steal his secret.
