A Boy Once Himself.

The principal of village school in Kansas one afternoon detected boy cutting the letters of his name in the desk in front of him. AS the novels would put it the principal rushed to the spot. angrily put forth his hand intending to grasp the boy by the col lar. when 10. and also. behold. close by the newly formed letters were the initials of the principals own name written by himself when he was a pu- pill in the same school. His grasp upon the boys collar loosened itself, and he returned to his desk sadder and wiser teacher. That principal is today judge of an important court in one of the greatest cities of the world.
 We often wonder whether or not in the administration of justice the judge ever thinks of the incident in the will lage school.-W Western School Journal.

An Early Airship.

We are told by Peter Farley, who wrote as an eyewitness, that in Au- gust. 1885. the airship Eagle was of ficially advertised to sail from London with government dispatches and pas sengers for Paris and to establish di- rect communication between the capi- tals of Europe. This early type of air ship was l60 feet long. fifty feet high and forty feet wide. and she lay in the backyard of the AeronauticaI so- ciety in Victoria road. near Kensing- ton gardens. then quite z rural spot. Built to hold an abundant supply of gas. she was covered with oiled lawn and carried a frame seventy-fve feet long and seven feet high. with cabin secured by ropes to the balloon. An immense rudder and wings or fins on each side for purposes of propulsion completed her fittings. The deck was guarded by netting. After all this preparation and advertisement the Ea- gle never got beyond Victoria road, for Count Lennox and his assistants fail ed to provide the necessary motive power.-London Standard.

Masks of the Marouesans.

The Marquesans of generation ago were the most completely and artisti- cally tattooed people in the Pacific, and the practice of tattooing is carried on among them to a certain extent today The really fine pieces of work. how ever, such as the famous right leg of the late Queen Vaekehu of Nukahivn, are confined entirely 10 the very old, and, what with wrinkles, deformities and the wear and tear of time. these have lost most of their original sharp ness of color and outline. None of the new generation appears to have the fortitude to endure the exquisite pain incident to having a whole limb picked out in a lacework of geometric design or the face barred and circled like coarse spiders web. Women are rare ly tattooed at all now. and most of the young men are satisfied with a broad band of solid black. not unlike Q highwayman's mask. which reaches across the face from ear to ear. giving to their never overmild looking coun. tenances an expression of amazing fe- rocity.

When a Doa Chokes.

Dogs frequently choke. A bone, a nail or a piece of tin gets in the throat. and there is great danger of death before the arrival of the surgeon. Many of them do die. but there is no reason for this. for it is easy, without the slightest danger of getting bitten. to put the hand in the mouth of dog and to draw out or push down the ob- struction that Is choking 1t. A bandage
 "a handkerchief or towel will do-is passed between the teeth and over the upper jaw, and in a similar way anoth- CT bandage is passed between the teeth and over the under jaw. One person, holding the ends of these two band ages, keeps the dogs mouth wide open. A second person can then with perfect ease and safety put his fingers down the animals throat and relieve 1t.

Police Methods In Berlin.

Berlin is the most strictly governed city, in the world. and a stranger will be continually violating the ordinances and regulations without being con. scious of his offenses. But the penal ties are not severe. and the policeman who arrests you is prepared to i'm pose the fine on the spot instead of calling a patrol wagon and taking you to the police station. You pay him few marks. for which he gives you receipt. and within twenty-four hours you must appear before the captain in charge of that precinct and turn in the receipt as a check upon the po- liceman who has arrested you.

Good 
Obligations of Guests.

It may very probably come as a shock to some people to learn that guests have obligations. the idea pre- vailing that these lie on the shoulders of the hostess. Indeed, there are some fortunate persons who are quite satis- fed that as guests they are comforting, not receiving, obligations by their pres ence at parties and that having actu- ally appeared nothing more can be re- Quired of them. They are graciously pleased to eat their hosts dinner and smoke his cigars or possibly to sit through the concert or whatever enter tainment be may have provided and when leaving. having perhaps, perhaps not. shaken their hostess by the hand and murmured, Such a pleasant par typ they consider they have fulfilled all social duties. That they have talk ed through the music or yawned in the drawing room after dinner or have been obviously bored by their partner at dinner is. of course. not their fault, and they feel perfectly justified in picking holes in the entertainment and remarking to their various friends:
 "Were you at the So-and-sos last night? My dear. what crush. So badly managed got only grape for supper And poor x. sang all out of tune. Dear me! Why do people give parties like thatT Why. indeed. if that is all the pleasure they afford their friends?
 As a matter of fact. however, this kind of thing Is often pose. The ap- parently disgusted guests have prob ably enjoyed themselves very much and would be horribly annoyed If par ties like that were not given and fpri- ous if they were not asked 10 them. Often. too. they are really quite kind hearted persons. but 1t has never oc- cured to them that guests at party should contribute toward It's success.
 Now. there are two motive powers which go to produce the good guest; either will do it, but when they work together the perfect guest is the result. These motive powers are good feeling and good breeding. The man or wom- an who is actuated by either of these principles will not be rude or casual or obviously bored. to mention only a few of the characteristics of the mod ern party goer. But, while good feeling will prevent one from doing what would wound or annoy ones hostess good breeding and knowledge of the ways of the world are needed to pro- duce the isished guest. Without this knowledge one will be nervous. self conscious and. lacking ease, will not be able 10 add in any way to the success of the party. ... .l.....-. ....

Carrvinu a Stretcher.

The bearers of a stretcher should be as near the same height as possible. If there is any difference the taller and stronger man should be at the head. A stretcher should be carried by the hands or suspended by straps from the shoulders. Never carry a stretcher when loaded upon the shoul- ders. It frightens the patient. and he might fall off very easily, especially if one of the bearers should stumble. The bearers should not keep step, but break step. the one in front starting off with his right foot and the one behind with his left. The injured should be car ried feet first. In going up hill or up- stairs the head should be in front and the reverse in descending, except in case of a broken thigh or leg. when the feet should be first in going up and last in coming down to keep the weight of the body off the injured limb.-"First Aid to the Injured" pr. H. H. Hartung, in National Magazine.

Aduina tn A Bride.

Try to learn to be chummy with your husband. so that when the first glamour of love dies you will have the steady glow and warmth of friendship and eomradeship to fall back upon and will not be left. as so many couples are. with nothing.
 Cultivate a sense of humor. There are many things in married life at which we must laugh or weep. and the ability to see the funny side of things will keep you from discontent.
 Don't be one of the I-told-you-so women. When your husband makes a mistake. let him down easy and forget the incident He will remember it with tears of gratitude.
 Don't expect your husband to keep up the high pressure lovemnking of his courting days through forty years of dead level matrimony. a"

comino In Out of the Wet.

There is an amusing story by Athe- naeus which suggests the possible ori- gin of the phrase He does not know enough to come in out of the wet" Ac- cording to the entertaining grammarian referred to, town in Greece under stress of evil circumstances borrowed money from a rich man. who took as security for the loan a mortgage on the handsome portico which surrounded the market place. He was not an un- generous creditor, for when 1t rained he caused the town criers to announce that the citizens had permission to take refuge under the colonnade. Strangers visiting the town who fail ed to have the ma+ter properly explain ed to them were so impressed by the extraordinary circumstances that they spread abroad the report that the peo- pie were so stupid that they had to be told when to come in out of the wet.

There is in existence a short poem, said to have been scratched by a maniac on the wall of his cell. which runs thus:
 Could with ink the ocean fill.
 Were all the world of parchment made
 Were every reed on earth a quill
 And every man scribe by trade.
 To write the love of God alone
 Would drain that ocean dry;
 Nor could the scroll contain the whole,
 Though stretched from sky to sky.
