Gave Away the System

The father of the large and expensive
family had brought a guest nome to dine
with him.
The dinner was in prjgress.
He helped his guest literally to every
thing that was on the table, but before
serving the members of the family he
glanced at his wife, who made a slight and
almost imperceptible signal to him, in &C.
cordance with some preconcerted code, and
1t worked in practice as herein set forth.

ter, shall I help you to some more of the

"No, thanks. No gravy"

tomatoes-n. m. k.?"
"No, thanks"
Some Of the mashed turnips-a. y. ". ?"
"If you please"
Though the host had repeated these let.
tiers hurriedly and in a lower tone, they
had not escaped the attention Of the guest.
Pardon me, Mr.. Trogson," he said, 'but
you have excited my curiosity. May / ask
what "a. y. W. and n. m. k mean?'

Sells Aquated Milk

DR.. ". R. Francis, a prominent physician
OF Marion. Ind, was driving along the
street recently when his attention was at
tracted by the lettering on a milk wagon,
which read, "Aerated milk" The doctor
asked the milk dispenser what was meant
by the word aerated. The dairyman said
he did not know. but some one had sug-
gested that name n he had adopted It.
The doctor told him 1t meant wind or air
and was not appropriate, and suggested
that he use a word that suggested some
thing pertaining to his business. The milk
man asked him what word would be appro-
pirate and the medicine man told him "a
use the word "Aquated."
The hawker of the white fluid became in
terested and asked how the word was
spelled. When told he wrote the word in
his pocket ledger and a painter was soor
procured n the new lettering on the mill
wagon now announces that aquated milk 4,

THE BEE.
Just One Little Word

There was a lull in the shopping and the
two salesladies became confidential.
"oh, Name, is It really true that you
have thrown over that young man at the
ribbon counter7"
Sure thingl"
"Really?'
Eyes, reallyl"
"Oh, Name, do tell mel"
well, he called the other night, and be-
fore I could guess what he was going to do
he dropped right down on his knees before
mel"
"Oh, Name, really?"
Eyes, really! oh, Jen, It was Just like
the real thing in the theater."
"Really?"
Eyes, really! He said he couldn't live
without mel Honest he did!"
"Oh, Mamei"
And that l was the light Of his soul"
"Oh, Name, really!"
Eyes, really! All he said he asked of me
was to whisper one little word-just one
little word of three letters. He said It was
such a tiny word that / ought to be willing

"oh, Name, did your"
Sure 1 did,"
"oh, Name, really?"

INVENTIONS ANTICIPATED.
Rabelais Told of Frozen Woods and
Roads That Travelled.

1AdOC1d1S Lulu Va V40kcn wv oO9S dno
Roads That Travelled.
Of Rabelais' story concerning the
frozen words" which started Panta-
Cruel and his happy crew on the yoy-
age to the oracle of the Holy Bottle
the world has long been familiar.
Students of the great humorist main
tain that the narrative of the ''frozen
words must be taken to imply that
their author had something akin to
a prophetic vision of the phono-
graph.
In another direction, says Casters
Magazine, it appears that Rabelais
played the seer and still nearer APP
preached to a recent invention of
unique creation. This relates to the
moving PLATFORM % leading attrac-
ton at the Paris exhibition In 1900,
by which passenger stepped on
to a travelling road, or path, and was
carried to his destination without any
further effort.
If some features Of this may be
traced by anticipation to the mind
of the old sage who defined rivers as
s'roads that travel, thereal precedent
is discoverable in the fifth book of
Rabelais' series of masterpieces.
Rabelais, in the exuberance Of his
imagination concerning the isle of
Odes, where the roads travel of them
selves, depicts Pantagruel and his
gray mariners voyaging to the oracle
of the Dive Bouteille, on the island
of Odes The term "odes,' in spite
of its associations, has nothing to do
with poetry.
On this pleasant isle where the
roads travel of themselves, and thus
according to Aristotle's defnition)
must be classed as animals Of locomo-
ton, the traveller had simply to in
quire his way of the road which was
going to his destination, to get upon
it, and so be carried ON without fur
ther trouble, to the place he desired,
just as happens to those who take
passage from Lyons down the Rhone
to Avignon and Aries.
Who forgets that Mark Twain,
some years back, amusingly pro-
pounded similar fancy when he took
a passage (by slow freight) on Swiss
glacier?
At the present hour the travelling
road or path is under experiment in
the suburbs of Paris, and is possibly
destined some day to supersede ON
nibuses and tramways.
In the light of these facts it seems
, hard that Friar Roger Bacon, the stu
dent of science before the scientific
period, who predicted that one day
carriages would move without horses
and ships cross the ocean without
sails, should be laughed to scorn as an
addle-brained monk, whom much
learning had made mad

Catching Fish with Mirrors.

In France a novel method of catch
ing fish is being tested by anglers.
A tiny mirror is attached to the line
near the baited hook. The assump-
ton is that a fish, when it see itself
in the mirror, will conclude that
some other fish is trying to carry off
the bait, and will make haste to Sc
cure the tempting morsel for itself,
the result being that it will speedily

ton: for: this assumption. At any
rate; some anglers say that they catch

mirror. than they ever caught before.
