A group OF women were taiSing about
the stupidity Of men at all times and
their enormous denseness when their
wives were trying to give them a hint.
h.You know one day we had company
unexpectedly. and we hardly had
enough to go around" said one woman
IL tried to catch my husbands eve TO
convey TO him that he was serving the
meat too generously. But he would not
take the hint. When he had given out
the last bit, there were two plates still
untitled. What do you suppose that
shameless man did? He simply called
all the plates back again and scooped
enough OF each one to fill the remain
ing two"
II shall always take my husband
aside beforehand and tell him a few
things" said an engaged girl.
"well. that won't work." said an ex-

dessert he blurted out, Good gracious,

To Test the Elan Law

A New York City tobacco merchapl
has been arrested, charged with hav
ing sold two boxes of cigars contain
ing advertising matter in which the
flag of the United States appeared
which is a violation Of the law passed
by the New York legislature last ses.
sion, prohibiting the use of the flag for
such purposes. An effort is to BE-
made in the case to prove that RA
law is unconstitutional on the grouN
that 1t interferes with the federal Nv
as to trade marks, deprives citizensd
the right Of carrying on business by
legitimate methods, and interiors
with the commerce of other states
Counsel also holds that the question
of using the flag is one that could be
decided upon only by congress, as It
was case of federal sovereignty. The
decision will be waited for with more
than usual interest, as a great many
manufacturers besides the makers Of
cigars are involved in the outcome.

fact in connection with gardening in

Quantities Of ornaments are lost each
year at the drawing rooms or courts
at Buckingham palace, and only a very
small proportion is recovered.
A very strange story is still told
about a diamond necklace which was
found at one Of the state balls some
years ago. 1t happened that one Of
Queen Victoria's ladies in waiting pick
ed up a diamond necklace from the
floor. As she stood with It in her hand
a lady came quickly forward and
claimed IL.
The finder was very irm, however.
and declared It was her duty to give II
In to the lord chamberlain's Office, as
this was the rule with regard 20 any
thing found in the palace. The lady
protested In vain. but the oldest thing
was that this necklace never was
claimed and Is probably still at the
lord chamberlain's office.

HOW LONG MOSQUITOES LIVE.

ta .
 It is not known just how long mos quitoes can live, but their average life is much longer than is ordinarily sup posed. Thousands of them live through winter, hibernating or asleep in dark places in barns or house cellars. In sparsely settled localities, where they cannot find such places fir shelter, they live through the winter in hollow trees
 in caves and holes under upturned trees; and, even though the ternpera- ture may fall far below freezing, they are not winter killed, but on the ap- proach of warm weather become active again. Mosquitoes are frequently seen flying about in the woods before the snow has wholly left the ground.-Wil- liam Lyman Underwood, in The Popu- lar Science Monthly.
