A we,.known professor of architec
ture, commonly referred to as Ham

a story illustrative of the remark
able degree to, which certain persons
possess the sense Of symmetry.
1t seems that there was once
Scotch gardener who had charge Of
good sized English estate, and
under whose charge the formal garden
at the rear had been laid out with abb
solute symmetry, even the two sum-
mer houses, one on each side OF the
garden, being identical in even the
most minute detail On one occa-
sion the Englishman became angry at
HE son locked him up In one of
the summer houses. AS soon as the
Scotch gardener heard of this his
sense Of symmetry was so outraged
that he Immediately sent for his own
son and locked him up in the other
summer house to preserve the bal

whethm 10th boys were dressed ex.
actly alike, but II is to be presumed
that even this detail was attended to
by the aesthetic Scotchman.

DRUG STORE AS FITTING ROOM
Precedent Clerk Hopes VIII Not Be
Generally Followed.

The drug clerk said he didn't mind
II that one time; still he did hope II
wouldn't become fad.
Il don't know how the rest of the
customers would feel about It," he
said. Personally, don't think /
should mind. | like to be accommo-

the woman with red hair asked II she
might stand before the long mirror to
the right of the soda fountain and turn
up the hem Of her new skirt.
Il have no long mirror at home,
she said, and 1t is so hard to get a
skirt to hang even around the bottom
when you have nothing to look into
except one of those dinky little glasses
found in most boarding houses
We'll, when she got my permission
to turn the drug store into fitting
room, she hustled away and presently
she returned with the new skirt and a
paper of pins. She slipped that skirt
over the one she wore, as cool as any
thing, and then for half an hour she
teetered and tilted around in front Of
that mirror turning up the hem. felt
a little embarrassed myself, but she
didn't mind. But maybe that was be-
cause the skirt looked so nice. Still,

some wonderful things when was
cruising around the seven seas. Why,
once we had a sawhsh to follow the

to throw OFF the leavlngs from the
galley and when we'd hit a big calm,
why, the sawiish would saw up our

to was to toss the long sticks over

Ramndv for CHOKING.

Raising the left arm as high as you
can will relieve choking much more
rapidly than the act of humping ones
back" said physician, "and It is well
that everyone should know II, for often
a person gets choked while eating
where there is no one near to thump
him. Very frequently at meals and
when they are at play, children get
choked while eating, and the custom
airy manner of relieving them Is to
slap them sharply on the back. The
effect Of this is to set the obstruction
free. The same thing can be brought
about by raising the left hand Of the
child as high as possible and the relief
comes much more quickly. In happen
ings OF this kind there should be no
alarm, for II the child sees that older
persons or parents get excited the ef-
feet is bad. The best thing is to tell
the child to raise its left arm and i'm
mediately the difficulty passes away"
