man physician, and is acknowledged to

Handled with Eject by the Country

City Relative.

Perhaps the tendency Of some peo-
pie to turn every part of speech into

but 1t is an unfortunate tendency.

may do others some good.

week" said the city cousin, who was
describing the joys Of metropolitan
life. zone evening we trolleyed out
to a suburban home and ping ponged
until nearly midnight, and next day
we automobiled TO the country club
and golfed until dark"
"Well, we had a pretty good timo
last week, too" ventured the country
cousin, with a sarcastic smile. "One
day we buggied over TO Uncle Josiah's,

Girls for Farm work.
There are employed on the farms
near Calumet 300 Finnish girls, who
work in the hay and grain fields like
hired men, says the Detroit Tribune.
The farmers say they are cheaper
than male help and give more COM
plete satisfaction. The larger number
of these farm girls have worked in
the crop fields in the old country and
prefer the open air to the narrow
kitchen confines. The girls work
faithfully and show no inclination
to daily and look the other way to

Amphiscians are the people who in

north and in the other to the south,
according as the sun is north or south
Of their zenith.
The Antiscians are the inhabitants
of the earth living on different sides OF
the equator, whose shadows at noon
are cast in contrary directions. Those
living north Of the equator are artis-
clans 10 those living south Of that line,
and vice versa. The shadows on one
side are cast down toward the north
and upon the other toward the south.
The Ascians are the people who Live
in a land where, at a certain time OF
each year, they have no shadows at
noon. All the inhabitants Of the tor
rid zone are Ascians, they having a
vertical sun twice a year.
The PHYSICIANS are the inhabitants
OF the polar circle. whose shadows,
