Insect Sits on Its Eqqs.

Family matters in the case Of insects
usually mean only the depositing Of
eggs in suitable situations for the in
dependent development of the Off
spring the parent insects often dying
before the young appear. The earwig.
however. provides remarkable excep-
ton to the general rule, for it sits upon
its fifty or more eggs until they are
hatched. just as bird would do. and,
moreover, if the eggs get scattered it
carefully collects them together again.
In the early months of the year. when
digging the soil. female earwigs may
frequently be found together with
their batch Of eggs. At the slightest
sign of danger the young ones huddle
close to their mother, hiding beneath
her body so far as it will cover so
large family.-Strand Magazine.

A PIGS sQUEAL.
It Played Momentous Part In Ameri-
r. can History.

1t Played Momentous Part In Ameri-
.u can History.
The war between this country and
England in 1912 was caused by one
vote, and, stranger still. the small mar
gin came from pig getting its head
stuck in rail fence. 1t was a Rhode
Island fence at that, but built much
like Virginia worm fence.
They were having an election of
members Of the legislature in Rhode
Island. One Federalist put Off going
to the election and left himself just
time enough to get there before the
polls closed. Just as he got on his
horse and started for town he heard a
pig squeal. He looked around and
saw that the pig had it's head jammed
into that old rail fence. and anybody
who knows anything about hogs
knows that the hogs would have eaten
that pig up if it hadn't been rescued
The farmer stopped long enough to
hberate the pig, and when he'.got to
the polls they were closed. He was
too late.
The result was that Democratic
member Of the legislature was elected
from that district by one vote. and he
would not have been elected if that
Federal had got there on time. In
the legislature a Democratic United
States senator was elected by one vote.
and that Democratic legislator who
had been elected by one vote voted
for him.
In the United States senate they
voted for the war Of 1912 by one vote.
and that Rhode Island Democratic
senator who had been elected because
that pig was caught in the fence voted
for the war of 1S12.-Popular Maya.

Many Materials and Products Which
Require Moist Air.

Many Materials and Product. which
Require Moist Air.
There are many materials. opera lions
and products which require special
atmospheric conditions for advanta-
geous or profitable maintenance. Prin-
cipal among such operations is the
manufacture of textiles. perhaps the
largest single industry carried on in
factories. In the favored climate of
the Lancashire district Of England the
natural climate affords working CON
d1ttons equaled in America only on oc-
casional days in certain localities.
Even in England, however, there are
many days in which the atmosphere is
too dry for the best work
Since textile tibers are increased in
strength and elasticity by high humid
1ty and moderately high temperature,
breakages are less frequent under
proper conditions. and the output is in
creased. But even before the fiber
reaches the manufacturing plant at
mospheric humidity plays an important
part. Cotton loses weight as it dries
out, but, more than that. the fbers
bristle and appear shorter and of lower
grade than when slightly moistened.
Leather, feathers and many other por-
Gus substances lose considerable per-
centage of weight in drying out, SO that
the maintenance Of average and uni
form humidity in the storage rooms
has direct advantage to the owner
in maintaining the value of his goods
as they lie in the warehouse. Cigars
and tobacco lose flavor in dry air and
regain it to some extent. after loss,
by storage in proper humidified rooms.
Wooden furniture and musical instru-
ments are sometimes cracked or the
finish injured by the dry air of steam
heated rooms. AL these and other
similar goods are advantageously
worked or stored in rooms in which the
atmospheric humidity is artifcially
controlled and kept at the most desira-

A LAND OF LEISURE /

Things Easy.

Tho People Of Guatemala Like to Take
Things Easy.
Just as Spain is the land Of ..mana-
ma. Guatemala has been called the
land Of mo hay" These words mean
there is none" and one hears them
Wherever one goes. If the people do
not want to bother, declares N. o.
Winter In Guatemala and Her People
OF Today, that will be their invaria.
BILE answer.
You might go up to a house where
the yard was full of chickens, the wo
man engaged in making tortillas and
fruit trees loaded with fruit in the
yard and yet have conversation
about like the following:
Have you any meat?''
mo hay" pronounced eye).
Have you any eggs?''
mo hay"
'Have you a house?"
mo hay
In such case the best way to do is
to enter the house and hunt round for
yourself and blandly order the woman

find. Then. If you leave small sum
OF money with her on departing, she
will not take any offense. but will DO
litely thank you.
Time is the only thing with which
they seem to be we'll supplied. 1t is
equally hard to get anything done, for
unless the party is willing to do the
work requested he will find some plau-
sible excuse. An American travelling
across the country few years ago
found it necessary to have his horse
shod at one of the small towns. There
were three blacksmiths in the town.
OF these one was sick. but had sup
plies. second had no nails and the
third no charcoal AS there was no
lending among the craft the horse
could not be shod.

HER HOBBY,
1t Led Her to Make Trouble, but
She Rectified It.
BY FRANK n. SWEET.

ciation.l
Is there any one who has no hobby ?
We'll, if there is it is questionable if
such person is happy. We live lives
at least most of us do-that lie in beat
en- tracks,
The merchant that has built up a
large business goes to his store every
day to do pretty much the same thing.
His wife stays at home, looks after
the servants and makes calls. The
doctor visits the sick and listens to
an eternal round of aches and pains.
The clergyman breaches every Sun
DAY and makes parochial visits. With
all of us our occupation sooner or later
becomes humdrum.
What. then, is our relief, our safety
valve?
A hobby.
Hobbies are sometimes mere whims,
or they may be a fancy that certain
line of action under certain circum-
stances is essential OF such kind
was Neil Lamberts.
Her hobby was self control. She
was accustomed to say that it was the
only cultured substitute for content
ment and that the result of it's perfect
attainment was perpetual youth. The
quick growth of frown habit and the
wrinkles that follow in it's wake were
among her strongest arguments.
Neil was wooed and won by John
Brent. She was very happy, and ap-
parently John was happy too. The
world seemed suddenly transformed
from very humdrum affair to para
disc. She managed to retain her self
control, so far as telling any of her
friends of her engagement was con-
cerned. Then there was a lapse. Her
friend Pattie Roane called, and Neil
let out the secret.
Not long after Miss Roane's depar-
ture Pattie was standing at the parlor
window which overlooked the street
admiring some flowers that were kept
In the window. She was thinking Of

An Effective Threat.

A certain Missouri editor is ready to
take fiier in high finance. He got
his schooling by threatening to publish
the name of the young man seen with
his sweetheart's head on his shoulder

fellows slipped in and paid dollar.
The editor says be has letters from
several others informing him they will

her lover, and it seemed that the flow
ers looked up at her with happy
smile. Happening to glance up. her
heart seemed to cease to beat.
There, driving down the street on his
dogcart, with Miss Roane beside him,
was John Brent. Nevertheless her hab-
1t Of self control was strong enough to
enable her to give the couple a gra-
cious nod and a SMILE
What did it mean? Had she not been
In that tremulous condition, love, when
every shadow is demon? She would
probably have thought that there was
no meaning to it whatever. AS it was,
she considered it in the light of an in
suit from both John and Pattie
That evening John called. She re-
ceived him graciously and chatted with
him as if nothing had happened, but
before he left told him that their en-
gagement was thing Of the past. All
this required great self control, but
that self control she possessed.
The three weeks that followed found
her still living up to the hobby. If she
was bit whittier and thinner the spir-
1tuelle effect was becoming, therefore
welcome. There could be tonic and
change of air should the scrawny
stage threaten. Pending that time her
maid one morning announced, Miss
Roane'
Lower the shades trifle, Lisette,"
said Neil and glanced into her mirror.
"Draw that stand of lilacs nearer, So.
Miss Roane may come up"
'How sensible you always are!' said
Pattie, making at once for an easy
chair. "Here have l for three weeks
been afflicted with a conscience, and
you-you look as if you never had

1t might be thought that such an ex-

Mexicans out Of their habitual indo-

The alarm Of a fire at Matamoras,
Coahuila. Mexico. was given by the
discharge of numerous pistols and
guns. says writer in the Wide World
Magazine, and fastened to the scene,
thinking at first that a battle was
raging. ... ......

the people watched the fire with in

scene of the conf1a grafton. the water
in the barrel was poured into buckets
and hauled to the roof of an adjacent
house. whence it was flung on to the
flames
Everybody was greatly excited. The
calmest thing Of all was the fire. which
burned steadily on till there was moth
ing left to consume. Then as the spec
tacle was over the people dispersed
Every one was satisfied except per-
haps the unfortunate owner Of the
house that had been destroyed.

Laughter.

Without laughter the human race
would have wept itself to death or ex-

both pathos and tragedy are instantly
