Two Clever Answers.

A pretty southern girl recently show
ed herself a match for the curious
minded women in her boarding house
who were bent on knowing what her
fathers business was.
AS matter of fact. he was an UNI
dertaker, but the girl was a bit sensi-
tive on this point, so she made up her
mind not to crafty their curiosity.
When unduly pressed on the point she
answered.:
He's southern planter"
This was quite within the bounds Of
truth and completely threw the inquis-
tive one off the track
The retort of we'll known actress to
a similar question about the occupation
of her father, who was letter carrier
in her old home, was not inferior in
finesse to that of the Dixie girl.
1t was when she first began playing
in London. Some one asking what
business her father was engaged in,
she sweetly replied that he was "a man

At 4 In the Morning..

The hour of a. m has something
mysterious about it. Cocks crow, peo-
pie on the brink of death give up the
ghost, every one who is asleep sleeps
sounder, and even the watchful sentry
can't always keep his eyes open. At
this hour people are in their weakest
state, and if life is,just on the flicker
it is not surprising that 1t goes out.
Many a mans life has been saved by a
spoonful Of ammonia administered just
when the clock strikes 4. The period
of deepest. sleep varies from to 5
o'clock An hour or two after going
to bed you sleep very soundly, then
your slumber grows gradually lighter,
and it is easy enough to waken you at
l or 2 o'clock. But when 4 o'clock
comes you are in such state Of SOM
Violence that you would take no notice
of the end Of the world.

ITO Eat Crow"

Although the use of the expression
ito eat crow" in a metaphorical sense,
meaning to eat ones words, may well
have dated from the time of Noah,
when the bird was first looked upon
as unclean and not fit to serve as food
for man, it seems to have arisen from
the old tale of the officer and the pri-
vate.
A soldier, having shot tame crow
belonging to one of his officers, was
discovered by the owner with the bird
in his hand. Selling the private's gun,
the officer commanded him to eat the
bird as punishment. With the fire.
arm pointed at his head, the soldier
fell to, but no sooner had the officer
laid aside the gun than the culprit
grasped- it and compelled his superior
to join in the distasteful banquet.
The private was court martialed the
next day, and when he was asked by
the examiners what had occurred he
replied, Nothing, except that Captain
Blank and l dined together" Wash

Perilo;ns Roafinn.

On the west coast Of Ireland, near
the mouth of the river Shannon, are
several large sea caves which open
into each other. The visitor seems to
be floating through submarine palace
of many halls whose roofs are either
as green as grass In the sun or blood
red. But the visitor needs a good
guide and good boatman, for the sea
is insidious and the labyrinth of caves
intricate. On one occasion, writes Au-
brey de We're in his "Recollections,"
soon after party had entered the
boatman suddenly shouted, Bend
down your heads for your lives!'
No one saw any danger, but the
boatman felt the placid water insensi-
bly, rising and knew that the tide had
turned At last the visitors knew this,
too, for it was not until the boat had
ascended within a few inches of the
roof that it began to descend.
"Pull your bestr' exclaimed the man
at the helm. "If the second wave
reaches us, we are lostr' But before
the second wave reached the cave the
boat had issued from its mouth.

The Wife of the Cat.

Nasr-ed-din. the Persian shah, was
an intensely superstitior- man and be-
lieved that his luck lay In his beautf-
ful black Persian cat, which was re-
markably handsome cat in a land
where cats are nearly all handsome.
The shah never allowed the black cat
to be away from him, and it was given
In charge of one of his wives, Amin
Agdas, who was styled 1.-The wife of
the cat"
When the shah went on his long
shooting expeditions, the Persian cat
was put into decorated basket and
carried by q special attendant directly
behind his master. Unluckily one day
an accident occurred, and the black
cat came to an untimely end. The
shah was in despair at the loss of his
luck bringer, but the clever wife of
the cat' exerted her influence and
brought her nephew under the shah's
notice. The lad was sharp enough to
make the most of an accident CLAIMED
by his aunt and save the shah's life,
and the monarch was so pleased that
he gave the boy the name of "the
cherished of the sovereign" and in
stalled the new luck bringer.

Makina acinnamonv canariss.

Cinnamon canaries are the best
known of a mere handful of instances
where it is possible to change the color
of bird or animal by food The trick
has long been known to fanciers, and
each claims to have his own secret for
working the miracle, but the process is
really simple and consists in abundant

pepper. 1t is troublesome process.
for a large number of birds either re-
fuse to eat or suffer from deranged
digestion. Even of those who take the
diet nc more than a third or a half
will show the color effects. The only
inducement to the fanciers to produce
this curious change is that once so
altered these birds have an artificial
value. Dealers will tell you that in adj
dition to the red pepper they give 9TH
er red articles of food, such as tomato
skins, slices of beet and the skins of
red apples or cranberries. But this is
merely an innocent fallacy, based on
the idea that the coloring matter of the
food is transferred bodily to the feath-

should be put on and the sashes put
over. In two or three days the
manure will be heated and the soil
should be placed over the manure to
a depth of five or six inches The
sashes should then be put back and
the soil on top of the manure allowed
to become thoroughly warmed
through. After two or three days the
temperature will fall to about seventy,
when the seed may be sown in the
same manner as in the case of the
cold frames. The burning of the soil
and sanding may be done as previous
ly described. The frames may be
made of any desired length but the
width and cross pieces should be put
in to correspond with the width of
the sashes. AS a rule, glass sashes
can be bought from firms handling
garden seeds, ready made. The STAN
dard size is five and six feet in length
by three feet in width. These cost
about $1.50 apiece, but if care is taken
of them they will last for good many
years The hot beds require more
care in ventilation and watering than
cold frames and are more difficult of
management for this reason, and on
account of the cost it is doubtful if
they ever will be extensively used by
our growers. Still the cost, if figured
on number of years, will not be as
great as supposed.
The oiled cloth can be bought from
most any of the large florists and
dealers in garden and farm seeds.

Need of Covers While Asleep.

'The reason it is necessary TO be
well covered while sleeping" said a
physician in giving some advice to
patient, SIS that when the body lies
down 1t is the intention of nature that
1t should rest, and the heart especially
should be relieved of its regular work
temporarily. That organ makes ten
strokes a minute less than when the
body is in an upright posture. This
means 900 strokes In sixty minutes.
Therefore in the eight hours that
man usually spends in taking his
nights rest the heart Is saved nearly
5000 strokes. As IL pumps six ounces
Of blood with each stroke, 1t lifts 3d.
600 ounces less of blood in the nights
session than 1t would during the day
when man is usually in an upright
position. Now, the body is dependent
for its warmth on the vigor of the cir
culation, and as the blood flows SO
much more slowly through the veins
when one is lying down the warmth
lost in the reduced circulation must be
supplied by extra covering"
