Cicero ard His Daughter.

History abounds with examples Of
the love that has existed between IA
Their and daughter which proved SUI
perior to the changes of time and for
tune, defying e death itself, and en-
tering into the records of humanity.
imperishable and immortal.
One Of the most beautiful instances
was the love of Cicero for Tullia. She
was a woman of high attachments and
exalted character, with qualities of
heart and mind that peculiarly fitted
her to be her fathers intimate COM
panion.
After her death he could find neither
consolation for her loss nor distraction
for his grief. Affairs Of state, weighty
matters Of political and personal in
terest, even the sympathy of Brutus
and Caesar, could not dispel the melan-
choly that settled down Upon his soul
and forced him for q time into retire
ment. He wrote of her in these touch
ing words: GA daughter l had in whose
sweet conversation I could drop all my
cares and troubles. But now every
thing is changed" at is all over with
me, Atticus. l feel it more than ever
now that I have lost the only being
who still bound me to life"

A H~mehoId Jewel.

A family in the southern part of the
city employed what they believed to be
a Household jewell" For a few days
she proved to be all that hey had an
ticipated, and everything went smooth
~. One day, however, the husband
came down to breakfast and made the
announcement that they must get rid
of the new girl.
"Why, John, you mustb be crazy!' said
his wife with amazement. "She's the
best girl we ever had, SO respectful and
q fine cook"
"That makes no difference. She isn't
honest"
ooh, well, We'll never miss a loaf of
bread nce infaWhile. Her folks may
need it more than we do
THAT isn't it. Early this morning l
saw her creep into our room, go to my
pocket. take my pocketbook and empty
it,"
"Oh. we'll. dear. perhaps it's force o.
habit; you know she's been married."-

Corrosive Ink.

With al impatient grunt the book
keeper threw away his pen and put a
new n in the holder. TITS terrible"
he said. how ink corrodes pens. In
six or seven hours a new pen will be-
gin to scratch. 1t keeps me busy chang
ing the blamed things, let alone the ex-
pense. There's money in it for the
man who will invent a noncorrosive
ink" An old man. a bill collector, re-
marked to him: My young friend, I'll
tell you a sure way to stop your ink
from %corroding your pen. Take a few
rusty iron nails and put them in your
ink well. The inks corrosive acid will
play itself out on the nails, and in CON
sequence your pen will escape. A pen
that only lasts you a day now should,
with my method. last at least a week."

An Exclusive Elevator.

There is perhaps no elevator in the
world more exclusive than that provid-
ed at the capitol for the supreme court
Of the United States. That elevator
can be used by exactly eleven people,
and no one else would for a moment
consider entering it except as the guest
of II of these eleven privileged gentle
men. The fortunate eleven are the nine
justices of the United States supreme
court, the clerk and the marshal Of the
court. The elevator goes from the
ground floor Of the capitol to the main
floor, on which is located the supreme
court of the United States. 1t is a
small elevator, 50 that, with it's con-
ductor, three portly forms of justices
of the supreme court of the United
States would fill it. 1t is one of the
very latest designs of electric elevators
and is finished in magnificent style

They paid the Price

The. corporation Of the city of Glas-
gov wanted to purchase the Whistler
portrait of Carlyle and in due course
waited on the master of the gentle art
of making enemies about the price
$1,000 g%uineas). They admitted it was
a magnificent picture, but DO you
not think, MIR. Whistler, the sum a
wee, wee bit excessive?"
Didn't you know the price before
you came to me?" asked the master
with suspicious blandness.
ooh, aye, we knew that!" replied the
corporation.
Every well, then" said MI. Whistler
in his suavest tones, tlets talk of
something else" And as there was
nothing else of interest to detain the
Corporation they paid the price and
trust a Glaswegian-made an excellent
bargain.

The First Automobile.

In these days Of fast motoring and
high railway speeds it is interesting tc
recall that it was in July. 1929, some
little time before George Stephenson
had solved the problem of steam trans
port, that Sir Goldsworthy Quincy
made his famous journey in a ''steam
carriage from London to Bath and
back. Quincy was a surgeon in Mary.
lebone, greatly given to the working
out of inventions in his spare time, and
it took him some years to complete his
first motor" in his back yard in AL
bany street in London. He accomplish
ed the journey to and from Bath at the
rate of fifteen miles an hour, and there
was only one disturbing incident, when
a crowd assembled at Melksham set
upon the machine and, having burned
their fingers, threw stones and serious
~ wounded the stoker. This Quincy
journey stands as the first example Of
locomotion by steam in England.

The Menu Card In It's First Form.

The Menu Card In Its First Form.
In it's old fashioned form the menu
was usually written large on cards Of
such imposing dimensions that room
for n only could be found at each
end Of the board. In the medieval
dinner this aid to selection must have
been an absolute necessity, for the
medieval dinner was a mine of sur
prises. 1t was divided into courses, as
are our own dainty meals, but whereas
nowadays the diner has a general idea
that fish will follow soup and that en-
tree is succeeded by relieve, and can
conceive generally the sort Of demand
that each course will make upon his
appetite and digestion. there was no
possible arguing as to what was going
TO happen at a early English dinner,
and close study fails to reveal the ex-
istence of any principle of arrange
ment.

Danger In .Home Remedtes.,,

"The trouble with poor persons who
try to doctor themselves before coming
here.' said a physician in a public dis
pensary. sis that they do not know the
first thing about the simple remedies
as they call them, that they use. Of
tentlmes they do themselves serious in
jury through sheer ignorance. l had a
man in here the other day who had
taken half an ounce of cholera mix
ture, Somebody had told him to take
half a teaspoonful. 1t is the same way
with paregoric, sweet inter, ammonia
and other well known household RENE
dies. Persons who trust to their mem
DRY are likely to get mixed and either
take an overdose or use the wrong
medicine. A woman came in here suf-
fering from the effects Of a drug that
she should eve have obtained except
on a physicians prescription. 1t was
the big overdose and her prompt appli-
cation for relief that saved her. When
l scolded her she showed me a clipping
from one of the magazines advising it's
use. The dose prescribed was enough
to kill a horse."-New York Times.

HOSpitality Paws.

Cities and communities frequently
expend large sums Of money in enter
tanning conventions, conferences and
other public gatherings, both because
of a spirit of hospitality prevailing or
through a sinister desire to advertise
the city" After the affair is over and
the visitors have gone their several
ways the people ask one Of the other,
docs it pay to spend money thus"
There never was a case of public hos
pitality that didn't pay, if not in dol
lars and cents, in the extension and
broadening of that finest of all senti-
ments, the brotherhood of man.-Day-
ton Herald.

SuperstitiOns.

If two persons raise their glasses to
their lips simultaneously they are in
dicating the return Of a friend or rela-
tive from foreign parts. The same in
timat1On is conveyed by bubbles in
coffee or by the accidental fall Of a
piece Of soap on the floor.
A Pickering flame in the fire or an
upright ~eXcrescence in a burning
candle is interpreted as predicting the
arrival of a guest, whose stature is
judged by the length Of the flame or
eXcrescence.
If one drains a glass of the contents
of which some Il else has partaken
he will learn the secrets of the latter.

EGGS and Fairies.

A writer in the Chicago Tribune
says: "My people came from the north
Of Ireland. My great grandfather al.
ways stuck his knife through the bot.
tom of his e%ggshells after he had eaten
breakfast. My grandfather and father
followed his example through force of
habit, and now l have contracted 1t. If
you don't break the shells the fairies
can use them for boats and can cross
bodies of water thus. In the north of
Ireland there are good fairies and bad
fairies. The bad fairies will play
tricks on you if they can reach you.
You can hamper their movements by
breaking their boats"

D;scredittn~ an Astro1oeer,

A certain king, says a tale from the

wise mar replied, Ten" The king
became very respondent and betook
himself. as one stricken with a sick
ness, to his bed. His vizier, who pos
sessed great wisdom, sent for the seer
How many years have you to live?"
He replied. Twenty" The vizier or
dereG that he should that very hour be
executed in the kings presence. The
king was satisfied and commended the
sagacity of his minister, and no longer
attached any Importance to the astrolo-
gers saying.

A BERTH JACK SHIRkS.
Scotia Ships Are Said to he the
Worst AnOnt.

Nova Scotia Ships Are Said to he the
Worst AnOnt.
The worst case in the way Of a ship
into which Jack can go is a Nova SEQ
tan. A certain Nova Scotia ship came
into port at Santos one day with a crew
that was little short of mutinous owing
to h fact that the captain was too
sparing of the rations. The ship had q
bad name among sailors at the best,
and as soon as she was anchored the
entire crew cleared out. For three
weeks after she had discharged and got
her new cargo she lay there with no
crew to take her to sea. At last the
captain went to some of the crimps on
shore and told them to round up a crew
under any pretext. The crimps sent
men around the docks offering big
wages to any of the loungers who
would go aboard the vessel to rig
some new sails. Some twenty men
were quickly picked up, many of them
In their shirt sleeves, and We're taken
aboard. They were then covered with
reyoiyers and rifles by the officers,
and the anchor was weighed, and the
Nova Scotia ship stood out to sea, her
unwilling crew leaving families behind
without even a chance to let them
know what had happened. The next
port was Sydney, and the next Yoko-
hama, then San Francisco, then Val
paraiso, then Lisbon, and for those men
who stayed with the ship it was just
two and a half years until she went to
Grande du Sui, the nearest port home.
Many of them, however, had cleared
out and gone home in other ships long
before that.-Broughton B~randenburg
in Leslie's Monthly.
