Could Lake His Choice.

At a recent inquest in a Pennsyl-
vania town, one of the jurors, after
the usual swearing in, arose and with
much dignity protested against serv-
ice, alleging that he was the general
manager of an important concern and
was wasting valuable time by sitting
as a juror at an inquest.
The coroner, turning to his clerk,
said: Mr.. Morgan, kindly hand me
Jervis' (the authority on juries)."
Then, after consulting the book, the
coroner observed to the unwilling
juror:
Upon reference to 'Jervis,' l find,
sir, that no persons are exempt from
service as jurors except idiots, imbe-
Giles and lunatics. Now, under which
heading do you claim exemption"-

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory if the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trouble
can be entirely overcome by using De-
fiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because of its great
er strength than other makes.

Gasoline and Alcohol.

The greater safety of alcohol, as
compared with gasoline for CONNER
cial uses, is due to the fact that it
will not ignite from pure radiated
heat, as gasoline does; that water will
extinguish burning alcohol while it
will only spread fire of gasoline, and
that the flames of burning alcohol ra-
dates very little heat while that of
gasoline radiates heat very rapidly.
