TOO DEEP FOR ENGLlSHRAN.
Neat Bit OF Wit with Which His In
sular Brain Was Unable
to Cope.

A young woman of Irish descent
went to a tea that was given on re-
cent Sunday afternoon for the artists
of one of the opera houses. After she
had listened to the babel Of tongues
In the drawing-room for a while, for
the singers were talking in French,
German, and Italian, she went into
the library, where one of her acquaint
ances was presiding over the tea
table.
With a beautiful assumption Of fiut'
.ering embarrassment, the young
woman leaned over the table and fal'
tered out: Il don't know how | came
TO do it, but do you know l only came
with eight languages today, when
meant to bring IL. I've looked in
my nun for the others, but they are
not there. and do you know. feel
positively embarrassed without them
ALL" And with this she went on her
way
Now, the woman at the tea table
thought this pretty good bit Of wit,
and when young Englishman came
up to her to have his cup refilled she
told 1t to him. He looked at her
blankly and then said with a puzzled
air:
What an extraordinary place to
carry them! Do you think she meant
IT."

EDUCATION OF DAUGHTERS.

Logic, impersonality, magnanim-
ity, qualities which result from close
and constant contact with men and
facts, various and many, are quail
ties noticeably lacking in the aver
age feminine makeup. The old
fashioned ornamental education Of
women, a smattering of literature, a
few accomplishments, a little gen.
eral knowledge of a half-dozen sub
jects, was surely not calculated to
remedy the deficiency. The orna-
mental education is being slowly but
surely ousted. The day is approach
ing, if, indeed, it is not here, when
any girl who doesn't receive a col
lege education will feel that it is
as great a disadvantage to her as il
is to a man to forego the university.
Whether or not we educate our girls
for self-support, we educate them
for knowledge, resource, character,
ability, power. 1t is important that
the mothers of the race should have
these qualities to hand down.-Lou-
Use Collier Wilcox, in Harper's Ba-
zar.

SUBLIME TO RIDICULOUS
Orators Should Not Smother UP the
Thought With FIowery PhrasIng
Which ls Often Absurd.

'I heard in one Of the fashionable
London clubs" said a Pittsburg
lawyer, ga discussion of ex-PreSident
Roosevelt's oratory. The English
man is a very conventional person,
SO, for the most part, he censured
Mr.. Roosevelts manner of speaking
because it was unconventional. An
official in the Indian government,
however, praised public speaking
which, like Mr.. Roosevelts is di-
rect, sincere and unconventional-in
that it doesn't smother up the
thought with fowery phrasing that
often makes it absurd.
81 remember" he said, "the
speech of an Anglo-Indian, who was
delegated by certain district to
place before the governments no
tice the horrible slaughter of their
stock by tigers. A very noticeable
litter could be heard in the audience
when the delegate shouted very dra-
matically:
"'Mr. Chairman, the tiger is the
most ferocious animal that prowls
and runs at large in India He
creeps from his lurking-place at the
hour Of midnight, when all nature Is
locked in the arms Of Morpheus,
and, ere the portals of the east are
unbound or bright Phoebus rises in
bis golden majesty, whole litters d
pigs are destroyed"

Irreparable Loss to Mexico.

The Springfield Republican calls
attention to the irreparable losses
caused by the fire in the City of Mex.
leo which destroyed the building
where the chamber of deputies had
met since 1872. Among the docu
ments that were burned we're the con.
stitution of 1861, which was signed at
Chilpancingo and for many years was
guarded in the state archives in that
city; the act of independence, signed
in 1921 when Iturbide entered Mexico;
the constitution of 1924, the constitu.
ton of 1857, under which the latter
day reforms were initiated. and the
signatures Of the heroes of Mexican
independence and Mexican history.

New Kind of Tape Measure.

Tape measures are so useful and in
dispensable to the dressmaker in their
present form that 1t would seem as II
1t were impossible to improve on their
construction. Yet this has been very
easily accomplished in a tape meas
ure recently patented by New York
man. A short piece of flexible,
springy material is combined with the
end OF the limb tape measure. The
end is thus made self-supporting. The
value Of thus having small portion
of the end Of the tape-measure stiff
and unbendable will be apparent
where small measurements are to be
made; the necessity of holding the
end of the tape measure is eliminated.
The measuring can also be accom-.
plished much more quickly and with
accuracy something impossible in a
limp tape measure, where small meas.
urements are made.
