The Gypsy Life.

"Just as soon as my husband and 1
have $500 saved up besides our fare
we are going back to England" said
a woman player. Then we are go
ing to buy one of those gypsy wagons
they have over there. They are too
awfully jolly for words, don't you
know. They are quite wide, have
hunks, a cunning little kitchen and
sitting room. You wander through
the country all day; then at night you
stop, cook your supper, sit under the
trees and sleep out in the open or in
the wagon, just as you choose. Many
Of my artist and theatrical friends
have them and just wander from
place to place. 1t is an ideal way to
live; beats households or bungalows.
If you have ever slept out in the open
and watched the stars over your head
you feel smothered in a bedroom.

Knew tho Sound Of Wood.

Knew the So0no OF Wo0os
There was an argument on cricket
deld in a village near Nottingham,
England, which interrupted the game
for some time. The match was being
played between the local tradesmen
Of the village. All went well until
the bowler, who was the village con-
stable, man over six feet tall, sent a
ball which bumped up from the
ground and hit the village butcher,
who was batting and who was ex-
ceedingly fat and perspiring freely, on
the head. The wicket keeper, a re-
markably thin and agile man, who
was the village grocer, caught the ball
and yelled, "'Ow's that?'
"Hout" shouted the village baker,
who possessed only one eye.
Eli say nowv roared the fat butch
er, who refused to have it so. But
hit it me on the 'ead."
Hi don't know where hit 1T you"
responded the umpire, who was the
village undertaken, "but Hi knows the
sound Of wood when Hi 'ears hit, so
bout you go.''

Six His Limit.


To the man who has a horse to sell
considerable leeway is allowed In the
matter Of setting forth the animals
merits. I've got the very horse you
want" said Gideon Lane, the Bushby
livery stable keeper, to one of the
summer residents.
He has no bad tricksY' queried the
gentleman. ''Safe for the family?"
'Lauzee, yes" returned Mr.. Lane
heartily. ANY lady can drive him,
and half dozen children could get on
his back and he'd never notice 'em.
Not trick to his name"
"Ah," said the summer resident, II
don't wish horse without any spirit"
''Spirit!" echoed Mr.. Lane. "Wel,
you just ought to see him on circus
day, that's all. And I'll tell you con-
ndentially 'twouldn't be well for too
many people to get on that horse at
once."-Youth's Companion.

The 1rickstere.

"Political tricksters always give
themselves away" said a congress
man. Their methods remind me of
the two men who wanted to sell their
corpses for dissection. These two men,
miserably clad, called on the dean OF
a medical college in New York.
"'We are both on the verge OF star
walton, SIR the spokesman said. We
are we'll on in years, and it is clear
that we haven't much longer to live.
Would you care to purchase our bodies
for your dissecting roomT
"The dean hesitated.
ut is an odd proposition he NUT
tered.
"'But it is occasionally DONE said
the spokesman In an eager voice.
"'Well,' said the dean, we might
arrange it. What price do you ask"
"'Over in Philadelphia said the
spokesman, they gave US $4o.'"-New
York Tribune.

EXTRAORDINARY COMPACT.

Amherst Professor Said TO Have Agreed
... to Sell His Head For $4,000.
Professor John Mason Tyler, stone
professor Of biology at Amherst COL
lege and son of Americas greatest
Greek scholar, is reported to have
made an extraordinary compact with
scientists Of wealth whereby he has
sold his head after death for $4,000.
At the college in Amherst, Mass,
the report was circulated, and Pro-
fessor Tyler was recently asked by
reporter of the New York Herald for
it's verification. He declined to make
q direct statement, but said that dur
ing his student days at Leipzig he be-
neves he made some such agreement.
It Is because he is reputed to have
the best shaped head in America, with
a most extraordinary brain develop
ment, that the question becomes of in
terest to science. All the experts In
America are familiar with Professor
Tylers head, and it is common knowl-
edge that they regard it Of great value
to the scientific world. The professors
memory and fund Of Information are
phenomenal.
II suppose this story may be the
result of an experience I had years
ago when I was a student at Ledp-
xig," said the professor. 1T was only
q joke. One day an Austrian student
and were leaning over table study
ing, with our heads close together;
when one of the old professors enter
ed the room. He stood looking at our
heads for some time before we noticed
him and then said: You two fellows
have the finest types Of the square
head and the long head have ever
seen. wish you would leave them
to me after you are dead We prom
ised we would.
"The young Austr1an's head was
very square and large, and mine was
very long, so I suppose the pair Of
them did look rather odd there togeth-
er. That is probably the way this
story started"
But Is it true that you have sold
the rights to your head after death
for $4,000 and that Mrs. Tyler II
seeking to break the contract?'
"Ha, hap laughed the professor. II
guess $4,000 would be pretty good
price for a dead mans head, but am
not advertising mine for sale. As for
the story, I will neither admit nor

The Jews and Thirteen.

z Commenting on the thirteen super
stitions In the Oestereichishe Wochen-
schnift, Jacob 81. Ehrlich, q Jewish
writer, says: 1.-THE number thirteen is
surely not a bad one for us. The
holy writ tells Of the thirteen attri-
butes of the Most High, and we have
thirteen feast days in each year. Our
great arch enemy, Haman, was hang
ed on the 18th Of Abas. The thirteenth
birthday Of our sons is a day Of joy
because on that day the child becomes
a member of the religious community.
The dream Of Joseph was Of thirteen
the sun, the moon and eleven stars
and Jacob had thirteen children"

chestnut about his being such an old

Fried Celery.

Fried Celery.
Did you ever eat celery that was
fried? Don't you think Of it only as
raw or stewed? Yet it can be fried
and makes most pals+able sidedish.
Stalks of celery are cut into three
and four-inch lengths. One egg and q
tablespoonful of cold water are beat
en- together. The celery stalks are
first rolled in this and then in fine
crumbs.
They are then sprinkled with lit
tie salt and pepper and again rolled
in the egg and fried in olive oil.
Grated cheese is sifted over the
stalks after taking them fro1n~the oil.

what to serve, try this.

beribboned Flowers,

The use of ribbons with flowers
has q great field and enhances tho
beauty and value of them. A bunch
or basket with an appropriate bow
artistically placed makes, it worth az
much again, If you are not simply
selling merchandise. +.
~. But put the ribbon where 1t belongs,
where the eye suggests the need Of
something being tied. TO put a red
necktie on an araucaria is as bad
taste a. chiffoning an azalea with a
lot Of fussy stuff pumng out here and
there. It does not do the azalea any
good and wastes the ribbon.
You can use some receptacle with
tho plant that offers an excuse to tie
on q bow of ribbon and you at once
have the satisfying effect on the eye.
