soon be well enough to return home
Just before midnight the nurse gave
powder to Mr.. lutte, who seemed

it was forced the patient was foun,

ing were regarded unfavorably, and SO
it was decided TO build the first floor
on an incline. At first sight this slope
was not noticeable, but the clerks dis,

way. Several of them were comparing
notes on the all absorbing question OF
socks one day, and one of them re.

That's odd." said another salesman

Others echoed the experiences, and
finally the solution was offered by the

this was due to the man walking on

The Demand For Them Appears TO
BE Almost without Limit.
Although the goldfish occurs in a
wild state In Japan, It Is probable that
China some 400 years ago furnished
the stock from which the wonderful
varieties of Japanese goldfish have
been bred. 1t Is reported that In feudal
days, even when famine was abroad in
the land and many people were starv-
ing, the trade In goldfish was flourish
ing.
The demand at present appears to be
without limit, and the output shows a
substantial increase each year. Many
thousand people make living by grow
ing goldfish for market, and hundreds
of peddlers carry the fish through the
streets and along the country roads in
wooden tubs suspended from a shoul-
der bar.
The leading goldfish center is Kori-

A Problem That Seems simple, hut
That VIII Invite Discussion.
How much greater than three fourths
Is four-fourthsi
At first sight II seems an easy ques-
tion, but put It TO your arithmetical
friends and you will probably find that
II will divide them into two parties,
one contending that the answer is one
fourth and the other as positively af-
f1rming that 1t is one-third, while both
will be ready to prove the accuracy of
their respective solutions.
The party Of the first part Ito use a
legal phrase) may argue their point In
this way:
Five shillings is the fourth part of a
pound. II you have 10 shillings, or
three fourths of pound, and some
body gives you another fourth part you
have soverelgn-ergo. your four
fourths is one-fourth greater than
three-fourths.
But this will not suit the other party
at all, and they will proceed scornfully
to point out that the argument is all
wrong, since II you have 15 shilllngs
and somebody is generous enough to
add shillings to it the donor is on.
ly giving you one-third Of the amount
you already possess (5 times equals
15), therefore your sovereign is only
one-third more than your Is shillings.

"A scientist studied the matter, and
this Is what he found
HE found that the native Australian
bees had tongues too short TO reach
the clover's pollen forming organs.
These organs In red clover are hidden
deeply in the heart of the tubelke

by the long tongued bumblebee. II
