a Shame TO Spend the Money.

~ SHShe s''S
"Pianissimo, pianissimo," said the
vocal teacher to the student, your
voice is too loud. Learn to.shade your
tones"
And the student worked hard to
carry out instructions.
When. she went to her next lesson
the teacher said: "Better-but' still
too loud. Try again-you will get 1t
after O while"
Again the student returned to her
room and tried for a softer tone. Again
the teacher told her 1t was still too
loud.
Now William, the colored butler,
without whom the house. would never
have gone on properly, had heard and
wondered at this gradual diminishing
of tone. It did seem a shame to spend
the money. He would interview the
lady who occupied the room below
that of the vocal pupil.
What does you think about de
voice above?' he asked, pointing to
the ceiling. Hit strikes me hits
CROWN weakah ev'y day."

Stamps for Advertising.

The French postofFlce department
permits postage stamps to be used
sor advertising purposes. However,
The advertisements may not be print
ed on the stamps themselves. The
method employed IS that of producing
gummed sheets perforated in subdi-
visions somewhat larger than the reg
ula.tion stamp, in the center of each
Of which the legal stamp is at
tached.
Around the white margin which re-
mains the advertisements are print
ed. The stamps are then sold in this
shape in various shops at slightly re-
duced rates, to induce the public to
use them. For some weeks past not
only business advertisements have ap-
peared on these stamps, but also po.
itical notices and appeals.
For instance. the Royalists use a
phrase taken from the old coin, God
protect France!" and "The whole ma
tion belongs to us.-Phillippe VIII"
The anti-military societies use the
phrase, mot man, not centime, for
militia! War against war!"

BABY,s HAIR ALL CAME OUT

: 'When my first baby was six
months old he broke out on his head
with little bumps. They would dry
up and leave scale. Then it would
break out again and it spread all over
his head. All the hair came out and
his, head was scaly all over. Then his
face broke out all over in red bumps
and it kept spreading until it was on
his hands and arms. bought several
boxes of ointment, gave him blood
medicine, and had two doctors to treat
him, but he got worse all the time. He
had it about six months when friend
told me about Cuticura. / sent and
got bottle of Cuticura Resolvent,
cake of Cuticura Soap and a box OF
Cuticura Ointment. In three days
after using them he began to improve.
He began to take long maps and to
stop scratching his head. After taking
two bottles Of Resolvent, two boxes OF
Ointment and three cakes Of Soap he
was sound and well, and never had
any breaking out of any kind. His
hair came out in little curls all over
his head. I don'& think anything else
would have cured him except Cuticura.
II have boughs Cuticura Ointment
and Soap several times since to use
for cuts and sores and have never
known them to fail to cure what put
them on. think Cuticura is a great
remedy and would advise any one to
use it. Cuticura Soap is the best that
have ever used for toilet purposes"

YOUNG Age Pensions.

Young-age pensions! Why not? Tt
ties, honors, riches, pensions and most
other good things are, as a rule. post
poned to a period of life when tie ca
.pacity for enjoying them has been
blunted. Australia was one Of the
first countries to adopt old-age pen
sions, and now Labor member Of the
commonwealth parliament proposes a
Complementary scheme of young-age
pensions. He would start By pension
ing the fourth child at birth. The fact
that three had previously been born
showed that the parents were doing
their duty and deserving well Of the

reward industry and encourage the

A Mennonite Custom.

When a young man reaches the
manageable age and shows those
well-known symptoms the elders Of
the church hold a meeting. They
decide if he is honest and reliable
to buy him a farm. usually an eighty.
Into the farm he puts his savings, and
then members OF the congregation
raise the rest of the funds to pay for
the land
This amount the young man must
pay back with a small rate of inter
est. Thus ~ exH=-~-ole and material
assistance t.cy bind him by the
strongest best. lat of debtor to the
church. Thsy ',1ow full well that
nothing can ae 'ost. for the land is
always worth r:;.:at it will cost After
the young peor!s are located on their
farm the elders assist with advice
and help. Do you wonder that this
thrifty people are gradually buying

First. Owners of Furs.

Women who expect to buy flu. 5 this
winter show a lively interest in the
Zoo animals" said Philadelphia ami
NAL keeper. "They want to find out
what the animal looked like that were
their fur coats and muffs before the
furs were made over for them.
"The recent warnings against imita-
tion furs have made them particular
ly curious. Somehow they imagine
that by comparing the fur of live
lynx with a. cat or rabbit they will
be able to detect the difference in dyed
furs. OF course they won't, but any
how this little excursion into natural
history will do them no harm.
Women with caracul coats are the
most persistent Investigators. Very
few people except furriers know what
kind of an animal caracul grows on,
and the specimens of the Russian
sheep that produce real caracul and
the Chinese sheep that cheap wool
that is sold for caracul grows on have
been trotted out for inspection so often
that they have become as blase as a
New York show girl"

London's Standards of Length.

Londoners have access to authori-
tative standards for comparison pur-
poses. These are fixed on the outside
of the wall of Greenwich observatory,
and the various lengths are decided by
passing the measure to be tested be-
tween raised points inserted in metal
plates. At the Royal observatory also
is pound balance, by which any
pound weight may be verified. Stand
ards of 100 feet and one chain (G6
feet), with subdivisions accurately en-
graved on them, marked on brass
plates, are available for public pur-
poses in Trafalgar square, being let
into the granite steps on the north
side of the square. Where rigid ac-

had to the Standards Office in Old

Hypnotizing Lobsters.

Here is curious and little known
experiment that can be made with
live lobsters. 1t is quite impossible
to stand a lobster up ION end" unless
it is first put to sleep. s.G
ThfS is done by slowly strokins its
tail downward with the hand two or
three times, when the fish is at once
thrown into a state of coma, or deep
sleep, and remains in that position,
without movement of any kind, for
about ten minutes. Even its eyes are
fixed, and it has every appearance OF
being dead.
Another curious thing Is. that when
one lobster wakes up the noise 1t
makes in falling down rouses all the
others; and the effect of one or more
waking up is very strange.
