How long could you
carry the same UNI
brella every other day?

An architect told me that he could
lose three umbrellas day. but that
he knew a man who carried an um-
brella every day, summer and win
ter, using it as cane, and he never
lost one any more than he would his
hat.
One of my schoolmates took a trip
and lost his rubbers the first thing.
He got another pair and soon lost
them. Then he decided to go without
rubbers.
You may find it good exercise to
try carrying a cane or an umbrella
every other day, just for the test it
would give you.
Could you have done this? On the
way to my train this morning l called
to interest a man in my accuracy re-
searches, and after some effort sue
ceeded He was a believer in actual
experience, and skeptical about re-
corded experiences. Five minutes
after leaving him l missed my um-
brella and returned to his Office.
1t was not there, but he had a laugh

to see me hunting for lost umbrella
just after coaxing him to work with
me on accuracy.
Then l had to explain that l wanted
to know more about accuracy, and by
givini: and getting ideas l expected
to do so. l am more accurate than
formerly, but could you have gone
back for the umbrella?
Going back to him as I did and
being ridiculed got me to thinking

Cars Prophetic Utterance to Mel,

When Melville E. Stone, formerly
of Chicago, was in St. Petersburg just
before toe outbreak of the Russo-Ja-
pan war he attended the royal ball
that was given a week before the
Japanese attacked the Russian ships
at Port Arthur. The cZar spoke with
Mr.. Stone and in the course of the
conversation the American remarked
that it did not look like war to see
SO vast an assembly so intent on
pleasure. The cars reply was mem
orable: But remember the duchess
of Richmonds ball the night before
Waterloo" he said. They both
laughed. but the Saturday following
the Japanese ambassador, under or
ders from home. asked for his pass
ports. and on the following Monday

Now for the Glass Tea Pot.

The glass tea pot Is a novelty That
finds considerable favor among eN-
pert tea makers. These pots coihe
from England. They are are of stout
tempered glass and are delicately
trimmed with bands Of silver.
Inside the pot itself hollow Dali
of silver rolls about. and by its prompt
acceptance of the heat of the boiling
water prevents the glass from crack

The charm of the crystal pot lies
not wholly in its novelty or beauty
but in the fact that through its trans
