Mistakaa We Make.

Moths do not eat furs or cloths. They lay their eggs in these rich stufs. and 1t is the worm from the eggs that do the eating. There are no shooting stars. Stars are immense bodies. many times larger than tho earth. The so-callsd shooting stars that glide SO splendidly across the nocturnal sky are msteors-fragmsnts weighing as | rule. but few pounds. Sunstroke is really heat apoplexy. IL is the moisture in the air. rathor than the actual rays of the sun, that causes sunstroke. In dry climates, such as Cairos with summer temperature of 122 degrees in the shade, sunsiroke is much rarer than with us.

The Style In Clocks.

There are funny things about the clock business" said the salesman from Connecticut. "Nine-tcnths of the clocks that I sold on my last trip were e!ght-day clocks. Everybody seems to have serious objections now. adays to winding clocks. If I could provide customers with 30-day clocks or to-day clocks, without too much additional cost, they would prefer them. The demand for long-distancs timepiscss represents decided change in taste. A year or % ago everybody was clamoring for 24-Aour clocks, on the ground that they kept better time. Now, If I could put on the market some of those one-year and hve-ysar clocks that venturesome manufacturers turn out now and then as curiosities they would prove ready eallars"

BUILDING OF A wITIcIsM.
point of Joke the Same Though Under Changed Conditions.

The Bohemian had an article enti- tied How a Joke Is Made" In 1t Marshall P. Wilder. the well known srmorist, cites this story as an illus ..at,on of ono method. Here is q storv with a joke in 1t about Labou- cbere, the genial editor of London Truth. When he was standing for ,he borough of Northampton for the rnglish parliament . little girl came mn to her father and said: Papa, who rnade MT Labouchere? Why, Provi- dence. my dear answered the some wbat astonished parent And what for papa? inQuircs the child. Now that isn't bad joke. It was natural, anyway. But listen to one of mine, which really has the same point, though 1t Is brought out in different way. A child and her mother are on the cars. Opposite them sits young man dressed in the height of fashion. Savs the child: Mamma, what is thatr and, as she asks the question, she points to the young man opposite. Hush, my dear answers the mother. But. mother, want to know To quiet the ch..d the mother whispers in her ear: He is what we call . dude. dear. The child persists n usual in calming some more information. And who made him, mamma? Why, Providence, dear, of course replies the mother sotto voice, whereat tho child exclaims: Oh, mother. doesn't Providence like to have fun some times? You see, the stories are real ly alike. At all events. tho point is the same"

Hurry.

To our own age belongs the credit of having raised hurry from the degraded position of disease to that of com mercial process. Formerly hurry sim ply brought people to an early grave. with nothing to show for it. whereas now 1t Is become the means of trans forming peace of mind. which is a solscism. to say the best of 1t. into ready money. Hurry has grown to be great fact in life. Even the fashions take account of 1t. until women are found doing up their hair in such a way that they may 70 the speed limit without fear of its coming down. And the best of hurry is that 1t is It's own sufficient justification. Nobody ex- poets hurry to have any particular reason behind 1t any more.-Llfe.

The Jewel of Forgiveness.

Nothing is more moving to man than the spectacle of reconciliation our weaknesses are thus indemnified and are not too costly, being the price we pay for the hour of forgive ness; and the archangel who has never felt anger has reason to envy lne man who subdues it.
