WHY She Couldn't.

An asylum for the deaf and dumb
being sadly in need of funds gave a
dance. Among the many outsiders
present were two good looking men.
AS they were talking together, one
of them exclaimed: "By Jove! there
is pretty girl; would like to dance
with her."
why don't you ask herr" re-
sponded his companion, according to
the Cosmopolitan Magazine.
How"
"Why, by signs, of course"
So he crossed the hall and placing
himself in front of the girl pointed
with his index finger to her, then to
himself and then whirled his finger
round and round to indicate dancing.
The girl smilingly nodded an assent
Finding that her dancing was as
perfect as her figure he went through
the same operation a little later in
the evening. Again she nodded as
sent. AS they were waiting for the
music to start another gentleman ap-
preached the girl and asked for the
next dance.
81 am sorry" she replied in the
sweetest of tones, nodding toward her
silent partner, "but have this dance
with the dummy"

Good Roads and the Auto.

While the automobile has been re-
sponsible, therefore, for the increased
deterioration of roads formerly sup
posed to be almost perfect in con-
struction, it has focused attention
on the necessity for good roads, has
been largely responsible for the ac-
tive educational campaign in this
regard, and has undoubtedly had an
excellent effect in bringing to the pub
lie attention the enormous waste in
cident to poor and ill-kept highways.
Realizing that the automobile is a
necessary factor to consider in high
way traffic, road engineers nave been
experimenting with new construc-
tions, in order 20 arrive at the road
which will best embody the require
ments of automobile traffic without
any detrimental effect on the horse
traffic involved. BY far the largest
proportion of the highway construc-
ton conducted along the new lines
for the adaptation of the road to auto.
mobile traffic has been done with
various forms of bitumen, oils, tars
and asphalts, and up to the present
the most satisfactory results from
the point of view of economy have
been with these materials.-H. Tip

Weight, or Wings !?
BY GEORGE c. ALBoRN.

Here is man who wants to fly.
He goes to some of the noted aviators
and makes Known his desire. They
begin to show him the latest models
of aeroplanes. But the lightest of
them weighs twice as much as the
man himself. He tries to lift it, but
fails.
What" he exclaims. "Must I
add all that weight? I am too heavy
already. l cannot lift one of these
contrivances; to push one on it's
wheels for a mile would all but ex-
haust me. 1t is preposterous to tell
me that such machine will enable
me to fy'
But my dear SIR" expostulates an
aviator, you are not expected to
carry or push this aeroplane. 1t is
to carry you"
But how can it? 1t is not like a
balloon that must be held down, that
tugs and frets to soar into the air.
Here lies your aeroplane. helpless,
inert; it must be lifted. pushed, or
dragged about by horse"
"Ah, you do not comprehend. Let
me show you. Come. sit by me here.
See, start the motor. The propeller
revolves. The whole fabric quivers
with power. Now, behold. we are
off, without the slightest jar. We
skim the air like birds. We possess
wings"
And it is even so. To fly. man
must triple his weight by adding
machinery. Yet this added mass is
not really weight. 1t is wings.

ALAS, my Master. cannot raise

Are there not many fearful and
doubling souls who hesitate to take
up the religion of Christ because
they thus doubt and fear? Are there
not those that call themselves Chris
tians who are trying to carry or push
their religion, and are making of life
a desperate and exhausting struggle?
Let us listen to the exultant words
of one skilled in long practice of soul
flying. II can do all things through
Christ which strengthened me-" 1T

Paul did skim through the spiritual

for his charge. He found him at last

Of walking sticks there is no end

sticks, however, the one which Cole

ing his tramping days must take
first place. The philosopher was
never happy till he had got it back.
He sent the crier round. Here is
the cry, as noted by Mr.. Lucas in
one of his essays: Missing a curious
walking stick. On one side it dis
plays the head of an eagle, the eyes
of which represent rising sun, and
the ears Turkish descendants; on the
other side is the portrait of the own

is a Queen Elizabeth's ruff in tin.
All down it waves the line of beauty
in very ugly carving"
And then came the appeal and
warning note: "If any gentleman Cor

above described stick and secretly

STEEL TOYS.
Made Now in Large Variety i'm Place
of Cast Iron or Tin.
or wings

Steel is used nowadays not only
in the frames of tall buildings. in rail-
road tracks, in bridges and such large
ways, but also in the manufacture of
toys. Many toys that once were
made of wood, of cast iron, or of tin
IRE now made of steel.
Steel toys include, for example, toy
carts and wagons stamped out of thin
sheet steel. A toy steel dump cart,
painted in bright colors and provided
with a twisted wire handle. is made
to retail for five cents. There are
other toy dump carts and four
wheeled toy wagons OF various sizes
and sorts, including ice wagons, mail
wagons, express wagons, milk wag.
ons, all decorated in colors, and some
without and some with horses and
wagons and horses all of steel, these
larger toys ranging up to a retail
price of twenty-five cents
Among the steel toys are toy safes
in various styles and sizes and made
in very safelike appearance, and there
are steel toy money banks of various
designs and toy steel furniture and
horns and flutes. In fact steel toys
are now made in large variety, not
the least interesting thing among
them being the steel toy drum, which
is made not only with its shell and
hoops of steel, but with heads also
of steel, painted to initiate sheepskin.
There is an all steel toy drum that is
retailed for as little as ten cents.

worse. Then they began r. come ont

grew worse. At the end of about a
year and half of suffering he grew
so bad that had to tie his hands in
cloths at night to keep him from
scratching the sores and tearing the
flesh. He got to be a mere skeleton.

Curious African Tribes
BY CAPT. c. H. sTIGAN.

The men of this (the Reshiat) and
the other tribes to the north of the
ONO River-Murule and Kerre-
carry about with them small wooden
pillows like miniature one-legged
stools, on which they sometimes sit.
The Reshiat can often be seen
standing on one leg, with the sole of
the other foot resting behind the
knee-joint and knee, at right angles
to the body-an attitude which has
often been noted among Hamitic peo-
pie. The people that do this are

The Lions Share.

Two brothers, of whom a writer in
the Washington Post tells, got on
none too we'll with each other, for
reasons which will be plain to all.
Here" said their mother to the
older of them one day; here is a
banana. Divide it with your little
brother and see that he gets the lions
share"
The younger child few minutes
later set up a great bawling.
Mamma" he shrieked, John
hasn't given me any banana!"
What's this?" inquired the moth
err, hurrying in.
Why" explained the older boy,
lions don't eat bananas!"-Youth's
Companion.
