Only on Approval.

Az the Wednesday evening service
m the church pariors the minister
chose honesty for the subject Of his
h,laf discourse. In less than a quar-
FOR of an hour he found time to lam
haste nearly everybody who had ever
deviated from the narrow path, but
be was particularly hard on those per-
sons who buy things on approval.
After the sermon everybody enjoyed
himself socially. There were some
big guns there from other parishes,
and the parlors had been done up es'
pecially for the evening. There were
two lovely new red velvet chairs that
the minister found particularly COM
Portable. he complimented the head
of the furnishing committee on her
thrift and taste.
On Friday evening there was an
other meeting In the parlors. The min
lister looked around first thing for those
velvet chairs.
"What have you done with them.
Mrs Blankr' he said to the head Of
the committee.
"Oh," said she serenely, they went
back yesterday. The furniture store
Just sent them up for Wednesday night
on approval."-New York Press.

There was silence for moment, and
then the noise continued. ! turned to

"a traveller from Liverpool got hop
ping mad the other day because some
one called him a Llverpudlian," said
the civ salesmap. 81 couldn't blanc
him. but the man who unwittingiy Of
fered the insult declares that that Is
the proper name for people who live
In Liverpool.
HE pointed out that 1t isn't easy to
designate the inhabitants of all cities
by euphonious names. New Yorker,
I.ondoner, Partisan, Chicagoan, are so
obvious that 1t would be difficult to say
anything else. but how about cities
that do not affiliate so readily with 'er,
an or iteY
sThose are the sufflxes most COM
monty used to designate set Of ma
lives. Take Cork. A man from Cork
may be a corker, but that doesn't ap-
ply to q whole city full Of people;
neither does Corkite nor Corkan sound
right.
'Then there is Memphis. What do
you call q man from Memphis, any
how. or from Amsterdam, OF Dallas, or
Bruges. or Bath7 By the time you
have studied out the proper appella-
tions for inhabitants of all cities you
will be apt to strike something that

Iha Era of Reptiles.

At different epochs during the time
known as the secondary period the sur
face of the earth seems to have been
so predominantly peopled with reptile
life that II has been called 1.-The age
of reptiles" The huge iguanodons
stalked or leaped about in the wealds
of Sussex and Hampshire. Or these

etons are to be seen amounted In atti-
tudes of life) in the Royal museum OF
Brussels-a sight In itself sufficient to
induce a visit to that capital. Other
smaller reptiles browsed on the foliage
of the then existing plains and were
pursued and preyed upon by fell rep
titan monsters of various kinds. The
sea also swarmed With reptiles Qch-
thyosaurD as aquatic as the whales
and dolphins of our own day. And not
only were the earth and seas thus peo-
pied. but there were flying reptiles OF
different kinds and sizes, known as
pterodactyls.

Iov. Honor and Obey.

The controversy about including the
word "obey" In the marriage vow Is
probably as old as the marriage cere-
mony itself. When Marion Harland's
parents were married in 1925 (as she
tells us in her autobiography the bride
had '1aughingly threatened that she
would not promise to obey and that
scene would follow the use OF the OBJ
noxious word In the marriage service.
The young divine, with this in mind or
10 a ft of observation-disclosures or OF
stage fright, actually blundered out.
Love, honor-and obey in all things
consistent" The costumes worn on
this occasion were hardly as modern
as the unfortunate amendment. THE
bride wore soft sheer india muslin,
a veil falling to the hem Of the gown
and white brocade slippers embroid-
cred with faint blue flowers. The
brldegroom's suit was Of fine blue
cloth with real silver buttons. His
feet were clad in white stockings and
low shoes with wrought silver buc-
kles."

A Vary Old Rule.

The oldest mathematic book In the
world is believed to be the "Papyrus
Rhind" In the British museum, pro-
fessed to have been written by Ahmes,
scribe of King Ra-a-us, about the
period between 1000 and 100 b. q.
This 'Papyrus Rhlnd" was translated
By Eisenlohr of Leipzig, and 1t was
found to contain a rule for making
square equal in area TO given circle.
1t was not put forth as an original dis
coyery, but as the transcript OF
treatise 500 years older still, which
sends us back to approximately 25OO
B. c., when Egyptian mathemaucians
solved, or thought they had solved

INSURANCE COMPANIES
PAY STATE LARGE sum
Report of George B. Squires Will
Show $4,000 Collected
Recently.

The annual report of George B.
Squires, state insurance commissioner,
is being prepared to submit to Che Gov
ernor. probably early In May. 1t will
show that the department has received
and turned over to the state treasurer
between $4,000 and 100000 in revenue
collected in filing fees and premium
taxes from about $50 life, fire and mis-
cel1aneous insurance companies doing
business in the state. The appropria-
tiOn for the salaries and expenses OF
the office is $4,000.
While the more stringent laws passed
by the last legislature governing in
surance companies doing business in
the state caused the withdrawal from
the field of a number of companies,
new ones have entered, showing an
increase over last year.
The law passed requiring fraternal
insurance societies to register and file
a report with the state insurance COM
missioner at a cost of SIS for filing fees,
is reluctantly and slowly being COM
piled with. 1t is likely that the insUr-
anee commissioner will recommend to
the legislature more control over the
fraternal societies.
Last year the premium tax was
turned over direct to the state treas
urer and the filing fee to the secretary
Of state. The law requiring a separa-
ton of the offices of secretary, treasur-
er and insurance commissioner is con-
sidered good, and is so reflected by the
increased revenues to the state under
the new order of things
