A MeteorOlicaI Paradox,

rOriginal.l
once knew a quartet composed of
the funniest people you ever saw in
your life. They weren't four men or
four women nor two men and two wo-
men, but three men and a woman,
Zach of the three men was funnier
than the other two, and the woman
was funnier than the three men to-
gether. You should have seen her.
One eye was turned up at an angle of
twenty-five degrees, the other down at
an angle Of thirty. ShecOuld look serious
and sympathetic out of the one eye
and Historically diabollcal out Of the
other. She had ravenish croak and
sweet melody In her voice, so that no
one could tell whether she meant to be
pleasant or disagreeable. Sometimes
she would say pleasant things to you
looking at you with her sympathetic
eye and sometimes say diabolical things
looking at you with her sympathetic
eye. So nobody ever knew what she
was driving at.
The first of the three men was Mr..
Bantam, husband of the above describ-
ed lady. Everybody said the name
was very appropriate, for Mr.. Bantams
face wore the perpetual grin of a BAN
tam rooster. Next came Mr.. Guyer.
theoretical mathematical prodigy. Like
Sir Isaac Newton, who made a large
and a small hole in his door for his
big and little cat to come through.
Guyer didn't stoop to consider petty
contrivances. He once had an alarm
clock which failed to wake him up In
the morning. Somebody finally called
his attention to the fact that it hadn't
any bell. The third man was Mr.. Mer-
ryweather, "real noble, good man."
as one OF his women friends express
cd 1t. Indeed, he was so good and no
BILE that he couldn't conceive of any
one being wicked. And thereby hangs
this tale.
One Sunday morning Merryweather
and Guyer went to see Mr.. and Mrs.
Bantam, who were at church. The two
men sat on the veranda waiting till
the services should be over and the
couple, recharged, like an electric auto
mobile. with goodness, should return.
The weather was betwlxt and be-
tween, and when Merryweather said
It was warm Guyer, who was a great
disputant, declared 1t was cold. Pres
emily Mr.. and Mrs. Bantam returned

her sympathetic eye and Merryweath-

Library Open Daily.

Those who visited the public library
today we're surprised by the many
changes that have been made since
Saturday, More shelving has been
added and new furniture installed,
while pictures break the monotony
of tn white walls and busts of fam.
GUS authors or statesmen grace the
shelves. The reading room was open
today for the first time and on the
tables we're found many of the latest
periodicals. Among these magazines
was the Popular Science Monthly
for the month Of February containing
two articles, "Relations of School
Organization to Instruction, by
Prof. Wilbur S. Jackson, of the Uni
versity of Chicago, and "Magioal
Medical Practice of South Caro-
lima, by John Hawkins. These
articles will be of interest to the
medical and educationally inclined
people of the city. The library will
be open every day commencing We'd
nesday and the reading room will be
open each evening.

Investigation Of the capacity of hem
TO lay eggs results in the discovery
that the egg production of hens de
creases considerably after the age Of
four years. Thus hen lays at the
age Of one year about 20 eggs; at the
age OF two years, about 120; at the
age of three years, about 1876. at the
age of four years, about 115; at the
age of five years, about so, and at the
age of six years, about GO. These fig
ures go to show that hens should never
be kept in the poultry yard more than
four years, for after the lapse Of this
time they do not yield a proper return
on the food they consume.
