A Lucky Ooq.

An astronomer does not hail the
discovery of a new star with any
more enthusiasm than the average
physician displays over new or
rare disease. 1t was in this spirit
that Sir Frederick Treves received
the account of ailments which a
distinguished patient gave him.
"Let me congratulate you," he is re-
ported as saying. ''You have, you
lucky dog, disease which was
thought to be extinct"

Looking Glass Experiment.

Did you ever try placing two look
ing glasses of fairly good size on
their edges at right angles to each
other on a table in a room that has
been darkened? If not, do so at
your first opportunity, but do not
forget to place an object, like vase
of flowers, between the two glasses.
You will find that you will see three
distinct images of this object in
stead of two, as you would naturally
suppose.

Boys Clothing.

AS a rule, materials for boys
clothing containing blue stripes or
checks should be avoided. Blue, ex-
cept dark navy, usually fades and
makes even good garment look
shabby weeks before its race is legit-
imately run. Some browns are apt
to turn rusty. Plain black or any
plain color shows stains of all sorts
more readily than mixed surfaces.

To Tougher Lamp Chimneys.

New chimneys are made more
durable by the following treatment: ::
Place them in kettle of cold water
and add one tablespoon of salt to
each gallon of water. The water
should completely cover the glass.
Bring the water slowly to the boiling
point, then remove the kettle and
let the chimneys cool in the water.
1t is wise to buy several chimneys at
time, and thus have stock
against accidents.

In the Morning.

Reggalerly every day
When my poppa's gotten up
can see him far away,
Mixin' sumpin' in a cup;
can hear him slappy-slap
With a knife against strap.
He is such a funny sight
In the mirror on the shelf,
With his chin all blobby white,
Maxim faces at himself!
But mustn't laugh, or he
Comes and rubs 1t off on me!
Poppa says. when I'm growed up,
With some troubles an wife,

An a shiny. crooked knife.
But he says must begin
Gettin' prickers on my chin.

And the waters are red with the

Because Of thy vanity.
Behold where thy glory is sulIied,
And thy soldiers are flung to the

The earth with thy graves has been

And thine empire shudders and weeps
And the arm Of the Lord has smitten

And the Russian valOr sleeps
Behold how thy tyranny endeth,
And thy slaves from their sloth

How the wrath Of thy God descend

And the word is to thee, set thy peO-

Thy banners are trailed in the dust,
And thy shattered feet is the cup Of

be tried before the superior court at
Salem The case was one of theft,
and his client was held a prisoner, ap-
pearing in the courtroom under guard
Butler knew the man to be guilty,
and made a request that he have a
few moments conversation with his
client The court extended the cOur-
tesy and both retired to a private
room downstairs.
When the door was carefully closed
Butler said: See here, Mr.. A, how
much money have you with yOu2"
Upon being told, he said ''Wlll,
you give me One-half OF that now
The man counted out and handed
him the money. Then Butler went
to a window, opened it wide, turned
his back to his client, and walked
leisureiy out Of the room, going back
to the courtroom.
The court asked Butler where his
client was He looked about the room
as if expecting him to be in his place,
and replied Your honor, I do not
know where my client is. 1t is the
custom for the guard to follow his
prisoner"
