Put Blame In Right Place.

Bachelors are fond OF talking about
the extravaganza OF women and giving
that as the excuse for their not mar
rying while they know in their hearts
that there are lots of women whom
they might marry who are not eXtrav-
agant, as regards clothes at least.
But these women they look upon as
dowdies, and don't want them for life
partners, which goes to show that
1t is the extravaganza of the bachelor

Death by Lightning.

The supreme deity in the Greek and
Roman religions. Zeus or Jupiter. was
supposed to be the manipulation Of the
lightning, and the person struck down
by one of the fiery bolts was especial

to this, the opinion was quite universal

Whistling in English Streets.

In England whistling is very com

is rare in London TO see a butcher or
a grocer boy on his daily errands
whose lips are not pursed up for the
purpose OF emitting the whistling
notes of the comic song of the hour,
So prevalent is the habit that in
hotels, and even in clubs, requests are
posted up to refrain from whistling,"

Electrical Air Filters.

Electric air filtration is the idea OF
an English engineer, and is based on
the discovery that a body positively
electrified by 100 volts or more will
become covered with SCOT in a single
day in a smoky atmosphere, while a
negatively charged body remains
clean. Inserting sheet of wire gauze
in the intake flue of ventilating sys-
TEN and electrifying it by connecting
to 250-volt supply main, the gauze
extracted large quantity of SCOT from
the air.

Scotch Superstition.
