Forest Air.

There is a general impression that
the humidity of the air is greater in
the woods than in the open fields
This is ~contradicted, however, by the
result of observations made in Ger

humidity, both relative and absolute
was slightly greater in the open thar
in the woods, and this was true equal

ShincIino a House,

And I looked and beheld seven car
penters shingling a house. They were
hauling up bundles of shingles that
had been lying in the rain for two
days and mailing them on 4 by one.
In a few days the shingling will be
DONE. Then the painter will come
along with his ladders and brushes
and stains, and $500 will be spent by
the owner of the cottage to have 1t
thoroughly dabbed. And in a little
while the sun will shine, and all the
shingles will buckle, some up, some
down, until the cottage will resemble
a frizzled chicken. And there will be
leaks and cursings and lamentations
Now, brethren, why not be sensible in
these small matters? Painters are not
needed at all in a case of this kind
Keep your shingles dry; buy a few
barrels of stain; soak the shingles in
the stain and throw them on the grass
to dry; then nail them to the clap
boards They will never buckle, they
will never leak, and you have saved

Animals That Are Trained.

The animal trainer paused in his
midnight supper.
1T is strange" he said, show train
ing increases an animals value. J
can buy a young lion for 800, train it
and sell it for $500 afterward. Take
the group I performed with tonight
three lions, three tigers, two leopards,
four bears and four b~oarhounds. They
are all young adults in the pink of con-
dition, but unframed they wouldn't be
worth more than $1,000 OF $1,000 at
the outside. Yet the boss was offered
$50, 1000 for them last week. The train
ing sets the price, and no wonder. 1t
took four years to train this group of
mine, and, though there are only six
teen animals in it now, no less than
seventy had to be tried n discarded
before we got together the sixteen we
wanted"

TURNED THE JOKE.
The Way a bridegroom Got the Laugh
on His Funny chum.

The Way a Bridegroom Got the Laugh
on His "Funny" chum.
Under the thin disguise of harmless
fun many an objectionable rude prank
is played upon newly married couples.
It is refreshing to hear of an occasion
al instance in which the "joke" reacts
on the joker. A young man and his
bride, who had just been married in a
western town, were starting on their
wedding journey. They had managed
to reach the train in safety despite the
showers of rice and old shoes.
Just as they had taken their seats in
the car one Of the bridegroom's chums
came hastily in to bid him goodby. As
the young husband extended his hand
the friend snapped a handcun round
his wrist.
The groom had been s~uspecting q
trick of some kind, and before the
practical joker could play a similar
trick on the bride he found the other
handcuff snapped round his own wrist.
He was chained to the happy bride
groom himself.
That's a good n on me, Harry"
he said, with a sickly kind of smile,
.but I'll have to ask you to come to the
door with me and get the key to these
things from the fellow outside that's
got it. Hold on, conductor, just a min
ute!'
But the conductor, whose quick eye
had taken in the situation, refused to
wait. He gave the order for starting
and the train pulled out. 1t was q
through train and made no stop fol
the next fifty miles. Before it stopped
however, the brakeman, with the ai6
Of a sharp file and a hammer, succeed
ed in releasing Harry. The practica
joker meanwhile had had to pay full
fare for the fifty miles and still ha6
his fare home to pay.

The Way 1t Classics the Greatest
Men of the Nation.
The Petit Parisien in 1905 conducted
a very interesting plebiscite, b object
of which was to ascertain who, in the
opinion of its readers, were the ten
greatest Frenchmen of the nineteenth
century. More than 15,OOO,O 900 votes
were given, and the result was that
Pasteur came out at the top of the poll
with 1,339,425 votes. The next were
Victor Hugo, who received 1927, 103
votes; Gambetta 1,155,672, Napoleon
1,11S,O34, Theirs 1,O39,453, Lazare Car
not $50, 772, Curie 851,1O7, A. Dumas
pere S5O,6O2, DIR. Roux 603.941 and
Parmentier 49S,S63. Immediately fol-
lowing were Ampere, the electrician;
Brazza, the explorer; lola, Lamartine
and Arago.
1t will be observed with interest how
large is the proportion Of scientific
men in the number of those who, in
the opinion Of Frenchmen, occupy the
highest places in the records Of the
country. Napoleon is only fourth,
though Pasteur heads the list, and
| Curie, Roux and ~Parmentier, the chem
list who introduced the culture of the
potato into France, are also honored
while Ampere and Brazza are not fa1
behind. Literary men and Statesmen

The Troedel market is on a little is

Of the river is an old, low eaved house
with a little darkling doorway. When
you have got SO far you are met by q
little old rusty little man who
looks as though he were made of metal
who leads you into the great mystert-

Round all the walls they are ranged
guns, cannons, motors, steamships,
trumpets, sabers, and everywhere the
soldiers. How many millions Of metal
soldiers have marched away from the
Troedel market not even the rusty old
man could tell you-mighty articles Of
pewter and tin.
Hundreds Of regiments, of battalions.
of divisions, are drawn up on the
shelves, waiting for the day when they
shall be sent out into battle. And
with a kind of pride the rusty old mar
says, 'HThey are edifying soldiers"
That is the German way of putting
it. What it means is that each army
illustrates a battle or a campaign

FAMOUS ARCHERS.
Stories of Wonderful Skill With Bow
and Arrow.

Stories of Wonderful Skill With Bow
and Arrow. .
The expression drawing a long bow
does not of necessity mean the telling
of a falsehood. It sometimes refers to
a wonderful story, which may be true
enough, but which is SO marvellous as
to require a firm trust in the veracity
Of the narrator to enable the hearer to
believe it. Some of the longest bows
of this sort have been drawn about
bows and rrow
These stories began long ago. Virgil
in the "A1neid" tells Of four archers
who We're shooting for a prize, the
mark being a pigeon tied by a cord to
the mast of a ship. The first man hit
the mast, the second cut the cord, and
the third shot the pigeon as it flew
away. The fourth archer, having moth
ing left to shoot, drew his bow and
SEM his arrow flying toward the sky
with such speed that the friction Of the
air set the feathers on fire, and 1t
swept on, like a meteor, to disappear
in the clouds.
The stories told of Robin Hoods
archery, illustrated by his wonderful
performance as Locksley in Scots
"Iva2hoe," are also a decided strai1
upon a sensible persons credulity. The
famous story of William Tell, doubted
by many persons, is believed by otherf
to have a foundation Of fact. There
was a Dane named Foke of whom tn,
same story is told, and William O.
Cioudesley, an Englishman, is said t.
have shot an apple from his sons heat
merely to show his EXPERIENCES.
Most stories of bows and arrows re
late to the accurate aim Of the archers
but a Frenchman, Blaise de Vigenere
tells one that shows the tremendou
force with which an arrow may b
propelled If the bow be strong and Ion
enough. According to his own az
count of the matter, he saw Barbaros
sa, a Turk, admiral of a ship called tn
Grand SOlyman, send an arrow fror
his bow right through a cannon ball.

EATING IN PUBLIC.
The Varied Sorrows of the Critical
Man Who Dimes Out.

t0 b0itSa
Man Who Dimes Out.
What chance has the diner out OF
being completely happy7 The mere
actions of eating and drinking are nei-
Their pretty nor conducive to showing
people at their best. It is really, q
most uncouth sight to see a man or a
woman stoking food. The necessity
Of being polite at the same time makes
it uncomfortable as well. No sooner
have O got into conversation with a
pleasant woman than the soup In your
mustache stops all inspiration. She
despises you for your play with your
napkin, and your mustache is out of
shape. And who can feel that the
evening is going to be what he hoped
when he realizes that his shirt front is
smirched with some relic of the meal?
Indeed, dinner parties are really a
struggle between eating and talking, a
struggle which does not always end,
as do most things, in the survival OF
the fittest. AS one can't speak with
ones mouth full and first hunger must
be appeased, conversation and eating
go on rather as a game, the n person
whipping up some food while the other
is speaking and then In his turn speak
ing in order to enable his partner to
get some n~Ourishment. 20 talk or tC
eat might be a sensible question at the
beginning of dinner, but it is not one
likely to be asked. One is seldom sure
which is least worth sacrificing, the
food or the conversation. How much
simpler it would be if we fed apar
