Outwitted The Landlord.

When recently leasing a house in
a fashionable suburb of Philadelphia
the lessee failed to examine closely
the terms of the lease. After time
his landlord called and reminded
him that he was bound to do all
the outside painting at certain in
tervals. The tenant protested in
vain; so he engaged painters and Or
dered them to paint the whole front
of the house red, white, and blue
in stripes.
When it was finised the neighbor-
hood rose up in arms, and the land
lord was frantic. The tenant polite
ly explained that there was nothing
in the lease about the color, SO he
intended to finish the job by paint
ing the back of the house green with
large yellow spots. The landlord
saw that he had met his match and
within a few days the tenant had a
new lease in which the landlord I'M
dertook to do all the outside paint
ing.-From Lippincott's Magazine.

Ants and the Weather.

Ants as weather prophets afford
new testimony as to the cleverness of
these small animals. When you go
out on a spring morning and find the
ants busily engaged in clearing out
their nests and dragging the sand and
bits of earth to the surface you may
be sure that no matter how cloudy it
is there will be no rain that day, and
the probabilities are for several days
of good weather.
If, however, you see the ants about
the middle of spring or summer af-
ternoon hurrying back to the nest and
a sentinel trotting out in every direc-
ton looking up stragglers and urging
them to go home as soon as they can
get there, you may figure on rain
that afternoon or night.
When the last of the wanderers is
found the picket hurries in and the
nest is securely sealed from the in
side to keep out the water. 1t is sell
dom that ants are taken by surprise
by the approach of shower.-Amer-
lean CultiYator.

No Lone Dog May Bay The Moon.

The new Kent control of dogs
order, 1908, provides that no dog
shall be allowed out between the
hours of sunset and sunrise without
being under proper restraint, and
the first summons under this order
was heard at Bromley, when Edward
Gil u Il St Annes Lodge, was
summoned for allowing his dog to be
out alone at night.
The defendant said that the dog
must have either broken loose or
have been decoyed away. He hoped
that now they would have proper
police protection and that it would
not be necessary to keep dog. His
place had been broken into and moth
ing had been discovered about the
perpetrators.
The bench said that as 1t was a
new order, with which the public
were not generally acquainted, 1t
would only order the payment OF
costs, but it would be we'll for, the
public of Kent to make a note of
the order.

Tiebtwads Cured By Hypnotism.

DR.. Negresco, a noted physician,
read before the medical society a
paper dealing with an analysis of the
psychology of avarice, claiming ava
rice to be form of insanity, durable
by hypnotism and suggestion.
The learned physician pointed out
that close-fstedness is not the only
abnormal symptom in an avaricious
person. Like a victim of melanchol-
Ia, the close-fisted person shuns So
ciety and even his friends and spends
his days brooding over alleged trou-
bles and financial problems. He is
forever on the lookout for persons
liable to deprive him of part of his
wealth by legal or illegal means.
Like insane people, he lacks in moral
and physical sense.
The lecturer stated that he has
cured several persons SO afflicted by
hypnotism and suggestion. - New

The Cause of Much Trouble.

All kinds of doubts, disappoint-
nents, vexations and sins come to the
protesting Christian who makes his
religion secondary. If his main con-
Germ is to get on in the world, to
make money, to have a comfortable
time, to indulge a taste or inclina-
ton, then come in a troop the things
which chase away sleep and pierce
with anxieties and doubts.
Our usefulness, our happiness, our
growth, our triumph, are to come, if
they come at all, as the result of CIV
ing the accent of our lives to our spir-
itual interests. Let us be Christians
and make first things or stop trying
to deceive ourselves and others by
claiming to be Christians when we
are not.-Baptist Argus.
