This particular practical wife looks
like a dream, but she Is right up to the
mark In business. One day just as the
frost was on the pumpkin he came IN.
Darling" he began, 81 have just been
thinking this is most memorable day
in our lives, both yours and mine. DO
YOU know what 1t recalls?"
"No," she declared.
"What! Not remember this particular
dateY" he asked in horror and reproach.
"Oh, surely you must"
She said again that she didn't, though
to oblige him she would If she couid'
and he bowed his head and looked sor-
rowfully out of the window at the
swaying trees loaded with red leaves.
"Don't say itv he exclaimed. Don't
tell me you have no recollection OF the
serious import of this day. Think! See
how l am impressed by the recoliec-
ton. Surely you recall It,"
A dawnIng light spread over her race.
81 believe l do," she cried joyously.
"Yes, 1t was just this time we killed
hogs last fall"
He gave a hollow groan and left the
room Of his too too practical wife. IL
was their wedding anniversary.-Louis-

strange Facts About Amin ais.

Have you ever noticed that all AMI
mails which chew the cud are cloven
footed? Also that most of those which
drink water by suction are herblvorous,
the carnivorous variety tapping it with
the tongue, like the cat, dog, tiger, etc.
Sheep have no teeth in the upper jaw,
and tortoises and turtles are without
altogether.
Unlike most animals, horses have no
eyebrows, and hares are minus eye
lids. Consequently the eyes Of the lat
ter cannot be shut, and thin men,
branous substance covers them when
asleep. The eye Of the owl Is also very
peculiar seeing that it is immovably
fixed In its socket and cannot stir In
any direction. TO compensate for this
seeming disadvantage 1t can turn its
head almost completely round without
moving Its body. If you were to keep
. frogs mouth open many minutes, 1t
would soon die, as owing to its peculiar
construction it can only breathe with
the mouth closed.
On the other hand. fishes are COM
PEELED to keep opening and closing their
mouths in order to give their respira-
tory organs full play. 1t Is also
strange fact that the deer has addl-
tional breathing places besides the nos
trils, as IL nature had foreseen his
great need of free respiration when
forced to flee before the hounds. Snakes
usually have their teeth In the head,
but one variety in Africa, whose prin-
cipal food is eggs, is provided with a
substitute for them In its stomach.

Did He Understandf

A we'll known Edinburgh professor
often became so interested in his sub
iect that when the noon bell rang he
seemed quite oblivlous Of the fact and
kept the class for several minutes. Ger
tain restless spirits among the stu
dents decided to give him a gentle
hint, so they bought an alarm clock.
London Tit-Blts tells the result.
The clock, set to alarm at precisely
- o'clock, was placed on the profess
or's desk. AS was anticipated, he be-
gan his lecture without observing the
clock. But when the noon hour struck
the alarm went off with a startling
crash.
Even those not in the secret appreci-
ated the joke. There was a round OF
applause. The professor smilingly
waited until the alarm and the ap-
plause ceased and then said:
"Young gentlemen, l thank you for
this gift. had forgotten 1t was my
birthday. An alarm clock Is something
my wife has needed for our servant for
long time. 1t Is very kind remem-
brance on your part" Then he went
on with the demonstration which had
been interrupted by the alarm, and the
students were never quite able to sat
isfy themselves whether the professor
understood the joke or not.

One BOYS LOYALTY.

A New York boy was at school In
Canada, and 1t was his first day In
class. The geography lesson was call
ed, and 1t was his turn to answer.
(which Is the largest city In the
world" asked the teacher.
"New York." unhesitatingly came
the answer.
II mean the largest city in the
world" said the teacher.
As promptly came the reply, New,
York"
But" expostulated the teacher, II
did not say the largest city In the Unit
ed States, but the largest city In the
world. You surely know which Is the
largest city In the world"
"New York." persisted the boy.
"London has larger population than
New York." said the teacher. "lf do
mot have the correct answer this time,
shall have to punish you. Come
now" coaxingly, "tell me the name of
the largest city in the world"
"New York"
"Stay in during recess and write me
fifty lines"
He wrote the fifty lines, and every
line read: "The biggest city In the
world Is New York."-New York Trib-
une. -.......-.-..

I.onx and short Hair.

Homer wrote of the long haired
Greeks by way Of honorable distinc'
ton. Subsequently the Athenlan cav
airy and all Laced@monian soldiery
wore long hair. The Parthians and an
cient PersIans wore long, flowing hair.
The Franks and ancient Teutops con-
sidered long hair mark Of high birth.
The Goths looked on long hair as
mark of honor and on short hair as a
mark of thraldom. So did the Gauls,
for which reason julius Caesar, when
he subdued them, obliged them to cut
their hair short in token of submission.
In England judges, the speaker or
the house of commons and at one time
the bishops wore long hair, while crim-
inals and paupers wore short hair. On
the other hand, Jewish priests during
their time Of service had their hair cut
once a fortnight. and Roman slaves
wore their hair and beard long, but
shaved their heads when manumitted.
Sailors who escaped from shipwreck
shaved their heads as II manumitted
from the sea. In Ezekiel Y. l, there Is
mention of "barber's razor" with In.
structions to thou, son of man, take
thee q BARRIERS razor and cause 1t to
mass upon thine head and upon thy
beard"

Russian Peasant Weddings.

A peasant wedding In Russia means
q festival for the whole village and Of
zen for the young people from neighbor-
ing villages as well.
Weeks before the eyentful day the
young girls assemble at the home Of
the bride to help her sew. The BRIDE
groom comes with his men friends to
treat them to nuts and sweets. Appro-
pirate songs are sung, and the bride
groom's generosity is put to the test.
One of the girls holds out to him a
plate, and If he puts down silver coin
they sing him a song full Of compll-
ments, but If he gives copper and Is
known to be able to afford more mock
cry follows. The whole village Is IN
vited to the marriage ceremony, which
is performed with all the ancient su-
perstitious rites and solemnities. -

Making Fun of Death

New York has a social organizatio fashioned after the Whitechapel Club of grewsome Chicago memory. It Is called the Toby Club" but its name has no reference to the popular weed of Pitts burg commerce. The Toby Club has half a hundred members and the usual com plement of officers. Its rooms on Charles Street are fashioned after the pattern of the typical Egyptian tomb The main room Is a subterranean apartment-cold, uninviting and sepulchral, There are imitation collins here and there, and grin hing skulls on shelves, while coffin lids placed on the tops of beer barrels serve Tobv Club seems to be the ridiculing of the grim specter. Death. One of their pet diversions Is drinking from skulls and smoking from pipes carved from hu- man bones.
