Cure for the Talking Habit.

Formula: One part horse sense
two parts manly determination to keep
STILL; mix WELL with an unlimited
amount OF the best quality of thought
It is impossible for woman to talk
all the time without saying lot of
things that she shouldn't or without
proving jolly bore to everybody
about her. This tattling habit is not
confined entirely to women. though.
Some men have the affection terribly
Sometimes it's May wheat, sometimes
it's Roosevelt. sometimes It's chess,
sometimes it's baseball. A steady diet
of one-kind conversation is always
tiresome. Take nibble of this and a
nibble Of that. and your chatter will
be more interesting-particularly if
there are plenty of rests between nib
bles. Talking improves when there's
silence by way Of contrast.

A BuIIock's Eye as a Lens.

photographs Of insects have been
made with such lens, but it required
the most careful manipulation. The

separate lenses, each producing an in

with satisfactory results in photo
graphing, but such pictures are more
curious than useful. The professor
