A COLLEGE GIRLS DAY.

She breakfasts on a pickle,
And then the custom is
To go and spend a nickel
Upon a glass of fizz.
Along about ten-thirty
She needs some solid fare
And goes with Grace and Gertie
To purchase an eclair.
At twelve on pie she lunches,
And through the afternoon
From time to time she munches
a dainty macaroon.
Her pocketbook she'll pillage
At dusk and gayly trudge
TO purchase in the village
Ingredients for fudge.
At night, with loosened tresses.
1t is her dearest wish
To cook up awful dishes
Upon the chatting dish.
And when she's done with brewing
And all the house is dumb
She goes to bed still chewing
Her little wad of gum.

Weaver Birds

, Weaver birds hang their nests from fairly high branches, often selecting F.e that overhanss a river or stream, h order that their eggs, and the baby Ledglings when they come, may be cut of the way of the snakes that in test the countries they inhabit
 Their nests are cleverly woven of grass and twiss, with a long and mar Tow entrance, and remind one of those old fashioned netted purses our gran les used to produce from their deep pockets when they were going to tip" our schoolboy brothers. Mischievous lit- tie squirrels and nimble monkeys are also the natural enemies of weaver hirds. and as these are very sociable. il n lmber of them often building in the same tree, the noise they make when they are disturbed alarms the neigh borhood, says Home Notes.
 Weaver birds number between two and three hundred species. and are ma llves of the warmer parts of Asia Africa and Australia. They are so like
 llnches in appearance that they are often known by this name but tha plumage of some is very brilliant. The red-billed weaver bird of South Africa is a great friend to the wild buffalo for he not only feeds upon the little Insects that infest his rough and hairy coat, but when thus employed eivos h.m timely warning of the approach nf man by his shrill chattering.

The Rights of Our Neigh
 bOrS

q don't know why it is," said an ob- serving woman, that so many women object to moving up In the street cars to make room for an extra passenger. Now a man is quite different. If he looks tired I've noticed that he does not always give up. his seat. but at least he moves along to make extra room.
 "A woman, on the contrary, seems to be totally unconscious of the fact that often there is space on either side of her which another might occupy. She ap- pears entirely willing to let the other passengers hang by the strap or hold to the door handle, as best they can and it is only by persistent reminding that she finally yields and makes the needed room
 q have done this myself over and over again, so that I am not unduly critcising others. l don't know just why 1t is. Per haps our thoughts are taken up with our own affairs-and yet l scarcely think this is the case because I must admit that when l have been reminded of the fact the the space beside me was needed, I have been secretly annoyed. have wished I didn't have to move. q have wished so, too over and over again. said the second woman, "but have never thought very much about 1t. Of course," assented the first, but wasn't speaking of that We all of us do that very willingly. But it is not strange about the other case?"
 Both women laughed again-then grew serious.
 T shall certainly think about 1t, the next time I get into car,' said the first speaker. "and perhaps because of this little talk I may object less to giving the other woman her rights.'' Perhaps answered the other, flor after all that is what it amounts to-"

How Olives Are Juggled

A farm of trickery in manipulating food products which you have possibly never dreamed of is the juggling of olives.
 Italy produces nearly 300 kinds of olives and Spain also has her share of varieties. Of these varieties, olives are known to the trade as prime, fancy seconds" seconds" and "culls."
 These four grades differ in quality just as really fresh eggs. strictly fresh cSgs fresh eggs. and Jist eggs diff fer in quality. The go-as-you- please olive packer evades the necessity oi packing first quality fruit in order to pit a "bargain" on the market, and the result is mixture of prime fruit fancy seconds !" "seconds, and "culls' all in the same bottle.
 This sort of "olive politics" can't be controlled by law, of course. The hon esty of the olive packer is the only safeguard for honest olives. Perfect olives can be preserved ir brine for about three years. Naturally

 Something I saw the other day in a department store" she replied. "I was looking at some gowns when suddenly glanced up and saw red-faced, homely, ungainly looking Irish woman standing near and all the shop girls were look ing at her and giggllng. She was the kind of person you would naturally ask the very first shot out of the box:
 Well, how much for a weeks wash ing?"
 She had washerwoman thumbs and her back was bent as if she had been stoop- ing over a tub all her life. Finally one of the shop girls swept up to her and said:
 "'What can I show you?'
 'She answered.
 Sure an I want white lace dress fer miself, an a red rose sash an some white slippers wid bows

Maxims of a Queen

From Golden Thoughts of Carmen Syl- la, Queen of Roumanio."
 Man is a violin It Is not until his last string has snapped that he becomes a plece of wood.
 Friendship based solely upon gratitude is Ike a photograph-with time 1t fades. Happiness is like the echo-it answers, but it does not come.
 Some hundred colored and perfumed leaves are required to form a rose; and lrany joys to constitute happiness.
 Suffering is sensitive and clairvoyant. Happiness has firmer nerves, but not so true an eye.
 When you have long been parted from joy you no longer expect it: and, should 1t krock at your door, you open with aiai1n, lest it should prove to be grief in disguise
