This incident happened in one of
the little towns of Worcester coun-
ty. A farmer named S. had a
choice trout brook upon his farm.
He was so annoyed by the city
Sports" fishing in the brook that
he had his premises posted with
large signs forbidding all fishing
thereon.
"Some time after this, Mr.. S.,
fishing along the brook, came face
to face with a spruce young stranger
with several fish.
"What We doing here? Don't ye
see the signs posted up?" he asked.

fably. "You see, I can't read;
never learned, you know"
"Then come long with me, and
I'll read it so yen understand"
He halted his companion in front
OF a large sign which read: @All
persons strictly forbidden to fish on
these premises under penalty Of
the law" Then he added, as al in
spiration struck him: "And any
one caught here will be fined $780,"
The stranger smiled. isn't that
a little steep?" he asked. 'Well,"
returned Mr.. s., triumphantly,

AFRICAN PROVERBS.

"The Africans" says an ethnolo-
gist, care great people for prov
cribs. l collected among the Mpon-
give tribe last year a multitude Of
wise saws.
"'Almost,' says the Mpongwe
people, brings nothing into the
house,
when the fox dies no hen
weeps.'
people think a poor man is
not as clever as a rich one, for
why, they ask, would he stay poor
if he were clever?'
"'Don't ask the fish what peo-
pie are doing on land
"'Anger draws arrows out of the
culver; patience, nuts out Of the
bag
who marries a beautiful wom-
an takes trouble into the kraal.'
"'Hear both sides before you
judge
"The Mpongwe people," said the
ethnoologist, don't say a man is in
telligent or well read or cultivated.
They say: He knows the prov
erbs.''

SAWS H TEETH.

According to Cosmos, the employ
ment Of circular disks Of iron, turn
ing with great velocity, but possess
ing no teeth on the edge, for saw
ing metal, has become common in
many workshops. Among other
places where such saws without
teeth are used is the celebrated
Krupp gun works, where armor-
plate is sometimes cut in this man
ner. The process is not a newly dis
covered one. AS long ago as 1924
Da = and Colladon, at Geneva,
e. = uented with swiftly rotating
d.-.s Of iron. They found that
when a disk about seven inches in
diameter turned with a peripheral
velocity Of ten meters per second it
could be cut with a steel tool pressed
against it, but when the velocity was
increased to p meters per second
the iron was unaffected, but the
steel tool was damaged. At a We
Iocity of GO meters per second the
iron disk even cut quartz and agate.
