Some Money.

A news item from Boston says,
Prof. Pickering of Harvard wants to
talk across space some 100000
miles to the people on Mars, if there
are any people there.
And he wants 100000 of
some ones money to so arrange a
battery of mirrors, so as to flash the
Morse alphabet to the people up
there. He thinks they will under
stand the Morse alphabet and rig
up a similar machine and flash the
message back.
Shew. that's nothing. Although
the man in the Moon has been
talking across 100000 miles of
space to the lovers at the front gate
for thousands of years, Prof. Pick
ering cannot understand his alpha
bet.
And there is the sun only a mat
ter of 60, 70 or 100 million of miles
away and the people up there have
been talking spOts-on-the-sun Ian
guage for centuries to such theor-
lists as Prof. Pickering, but they do
not understand.
May be it is because they do not
use the same simple alphabet that
we understand, for instance the
Morse.

The Knowing Girl.
Louisville Herald.

LOuloNlIlC l1cIdlus
There is no one so trying to live
with as the girl who knows it all.
She is as persistent as the mosqui-
to and more hopeless to extinguish.
The knowing girl can give point
ers to an expert. She counts her.
self competent to run the world.
Her conceit is as colossal as her OBJ
tuSeness to Snubs.
If she would be content with her
knowledge without wishing to en-
force it, she might not be so I'M
bearable, but the girl who knows it
all is never so happy as when
thrusting her views on those who
do not want them.
The knowing girl is always right,
and such is her self-esteem that
even those who know her to be
wrong cannot muster up courage to
convince her.
The knowing girl could stir a
Quaker to contumacy, and set a
Trappist to arguing. Even when
you know her to be right she eoads
you to taking opposite sides.
Being incurable the knowing girl
must be endured as circumstances
control. If she be one of your fam
lily, better treat her to silence in the
interest of peace.

Martha's Cake.

Miss Martha, daughter Of J. S.
Conway and wife, has received a
unique present from John Chaloup-
sky and wife
Mrs. Chaloupsky secured the
form of a lamb in St. Louis and
mixed d batch of cake dough as
one would for a fair sized cake, and
with it filled the form and baked it
as one would an ordinary cake.
Then came the trimmings. The
brown lamb was then iced, and
while the icing was wet and sticky
shredded cocoanut was sprinkled
profusely over it and as it stuck
and dried it was a good representa-
ton of wool. Then came the two
brown eyes. And then Martha
had a little lamb good to look at
and it came all the way from St.
Louis.
