NUMBER YOUR HOUSES.

The free delivery system is working
smoothly but there is some annoyance
caused by failure to number buildings.
In some instances the numbering is
wrong. These should be changed at
once so as not to cause confusion in
the post office later on. See that ev-
cry 25 feet is given a number-the odd
numbers on the right and the even
numbers ON the Left of the street
looking north and east. 81 The diagraln
below will illustrate plainly The
first lot on the left will always be /,
1Ol POI, 3O1 4O1 and SO on the whole
length -of the street, and the first lot
ON the right side will be 2, 102, 2O2, 3O2.
402, and so on. In ordinary blocks
the last numbers will be %, 1923, 223,
1923, 333 and SO on on the right and
81 4, 12244 1244, 244, S224 324, 424 and SO on on the
left. This4is important and all prop
erty owners should see to it that they
have the proper number. 5.5

Open to Persuasion.

'sIs your husband strong willed
man?" asked Mrs. Sampson of her
gneighbor, Mrs. Towne. After a mo-
ment,s reflection Mrs. Towne replied:
81 don't know she said obviously.
II always thought he was, but the 9th
er day he went into department store
to get a new rug for the sitting room
because he said he wouldn't go another
< day with our old shabby one. s.5..
He happened to5get off on the wrong
foor, and he came home with four new
tangled fatiror1s and porcelain kettle
and no sign of rug. So you see
don't quite know what to say about
him since then.
All he told me was that you never
knew just what you needed till you
saw it right before you" Youths Com
panion.

SIN CRAVEN UPON MARBLE
Warning to Those WHO Take Snuff
During Worship.

Warning to- Those WHO Take Snuff
During Worship.
There is quaint old parish church in
Plurien, Brittany, built in the early
part Of the fifteenth century and hav-
ing, with many other primitive ar
rangements, the bell rope from the bel
fry hanging down from the roof Of the
nave and dangling just in front of the
pulpit, SO that the process Of bell ring
ing is performed in full view Of the
congregation. But what was more pc
culiar was the projection at right an.
giles from one of the walls (also near
the pulpit Of a sculptured hand and
arm of full size as though held out from
the shoulder by somebody built into the
solid fabric of the wall itself, and the
hand opened and, palm upward and fin
gers extended, had suggestion of ap-
peal and solicitation which naturally
provoked curiosity.
AS there was no inscription OF any
thing to hint at the nature Of the story
that evidently lay behind the sculp-
tured limb, ! made inquiry of a charm
ing old lady who was decorating the
altar with flowers in view of the next
days high mass, and she told me that
many years ago, in the faroff past,
there Was-a a wicked yillager who went
indeed to mass, but was far from de-
yout, and on one occasion he so far for
got himself in the service on hot sum-
mer's day as to hold out his hand
through the open door or window to an
equally undeyout friend outside for a
pinch Of snuff. IA LA
The pinch was duly given, but st.
Peter, the patron saint Of the church,
was so scandalized by SO terrible q
want of reverence that he straightway
paralyzed the arm of the offending
snuff taker, who thereupon took to his
bed and died, but not before he had ad.
mitted the Justice of his punishment
and had left directions in his will for
setting up in the church Of the marble
reminder of his sin insorder that all fu
ture villagers in Plurien might be warn
ed against the terrible enrmity of al
lowing any distraction to interrupt the
deyout hearing of the mass. It is s
curious story and reminds one thai
there has been an infancy in religion
as well as in most other Of the grea
motive; powers Of existence.-Gla Glasgow

marbles support a state.

1t is said that the making Of marbles,
so dear to the heart Of the small boy, is
the main support of the poor in the
state of Thuringia, Germany. They
gather small square stones and grind
them in machines similar to coffee mills
until they are rounded. "Commies,"
agates and .bullseyes'' are made in
that way.
Glass alleys with the varicolored
streaks in them are blown by the glass
blowers of Lanscha. They take bits OF
white, red and blue glass and blow
them together into twist.

SLEEP ON a COLD SMOKE
Pulling an Empty Pipe Said to BE M
sGs4Si Insomnia Cure.

tsE 5S53f sEEt. ss5sF5
Pulling an Empty Pipe Said to he an
insomnia Cure.
After giving fair and patient trial
to- each Of many alleged cures for
sleeplessness the writer stumbled across
"a simple method Of inducing somno-
Slence that has the merit of being harm
less .,sd inexpensivd:s To smokers the
remedy involves no cost whatever, but
of nonsmokers the capital outlay Of
the price of a pipe is required. It must
be q wooden pipe and curved, not
straight. ss
Having retired for the night, the suf.53
sferer should lie perfectly flat on his
sbaek discarding pillow rests, and puff
8steadily at an empty pipe until he feels
sthoroug ghly droWsy The desired result
usually Is achieved after from about
sixty to q hundred puffs have been
made. The putting should be done
slowly, with a deep inhaling movement.
The expelling motions must be made
deliberately with narrowed mouth.
During the entire operation the pipe
should not be renewed, as each displac-
ing and replacing movement tends to
wakefulness.
Those capable Of great concentration
Of thought should, IL smokers, imag gine
they see volumes Of smoke, and those
who escheW the burning weed will be
helped by counting the puffs.
AS sleep Is often successfully Wooed
while vet the pipe is in the mouth,
bowls Of meerschaum or clay are not
recommended ed, since these are liable to
be broken when the coming Of slumber
allows the pipe to slide from the
mouth. Nervous people may be reas-
sured that there is no danger in falling
asleep with the stem edge of a curved
pipe caught between ones teeth. Sleep
always occasions the grip to be rer
moved. That may hold also of straight
pipes, but for other and obvious rea-
sons these are less suitable than those
with curved stems. New York Mail

LoNDoN's LORD MAYOR.
His Power ms Well as the Area He
s:..l Rules Is Limited. as. -. -

His Power ms Well as the Area He
/ Rules Is Limited.
B The lord mayor Of London is not the
all powerful official he is thought to be
on the continent. He is not the mayor
of all London, but only Of the city of
London, and the City is but a frac-
tion, Of the whole. Greater London has,
roughly, population of 6, 900 700, but
in the $50 acres that comprise the City
there is a resident population at night
of only 38 600 and by day Of little over
300, 900. And even within this area the
powers of the lord mayor and of the
tWenty-sfx aldermen and the two hum
dred odd common councillors are by no
means attt6eratic.
Much OF what used to lie within his
and their province has been taken over
by the London county council. In fact,
the average Londoner never thinks Of
the lord mayor as an edict making,
law giving official. He stands altogeth-
er apart in the popular mind from ques-
tions of rates and assessments, schools
and police. Very few people could say
what legislative functions, If any, he
fulfills. They may have heard that he
is the chief magistrate of the courts,
but beyond that their knowledge Of his
precise duties does not stray y. It is the
social and decorative side Of his posi-
ton that impresses the public. The
lord mayor is never without his badge
and rarely with TOUT his robes and chains
Of office. He rides abroad in a magnif-
icently gilded coach, with powdered
coac chmen and footmen in cooked hats
and silk knee breeches, sending CLEAN
Of gold through the dirty drab Of Lon
don. ss 5ys
The lord mayors show on Nov. 8 is
one Of England's few annual pageants
and, uncouth as it is, has a warm place
in the hearts Of the populace. and, be-
sides all this, he has some rights and
proyileges of 400 years standing. No
troops may pass the City boundaries
without his leave. The sovereign him-
self has to ask permission to enter the
city wallis just as he has to ask for
permission to enter the house Of COM
