A Baltimore lawyer had an office boy
who was given to telling in other of
fees what happened in that of his
chief. The lawyer found it necessary
to discharge him, but. thinking to
keep him from a similar fault in the
future. he counseled the boy wisely on
his departure.
willie, you must never hear any
thing that is said in the office" he
said. do what you are told to do
but. turn q deaf ear to conversation
that does not include you"
A happy inspiration He would sec
that the stenographer learned the same
lesson in passing, so. turning to her
he said:
Miss Brown, did you hear what
said to Willie?"
"No. SIR" she returned promptly

Tho Lotus FIoWer.,,

Poets and novelists alike have given
Mythical texture and color to the lotus.
The elder Dumas spoke of q lotus flow
er pure white and with petals as deli
cate as fine muslin" Nor did the an
clients treat the matter with more
truth. Herodotus Spoke of the lotus
as of a plant which habitually de-
scended below the surface Of the wa
ter at sunset to return to view only
with the temperance of the sun. The
lotus known to modern man goes be-
low the surface Of the water, like all
nymphaeas, when its beauty and its
freshness have passed and when the
time has come to ripen its seed pod.
Then by the law Of life it closes its
corolla and goes away from the air
and the sunshine down into the water
to prepare for the future Of its family,
1t goes at the time when the sun SETS
but 1t does not reappear. When II
goes down as an individual it is gone
forever. The petals described by Du
mas as being 'as white as the SHOWS

A Porterhouse Steak.

According to the Encyclopedia Bril-
tannica. the word 'steak" is apparently
derived from Icelandic "steik," used in
the same sense as the English word,
which meant properly roasted meat
from steikja. to roast-that Is, placed
on stick or peg of wood before the
fire compare Swedish, sick; Danish,
sick, roast meat)."
The same authority says: "a 'por-
terhouse' steak is choice cut Of steak
from the loin, so named. apparently,
first in New York from a well known
porter house and eating house where
chops. steaks, etc., and porter or stout
were served, at which these steaks
were a speciality.
"a steak grilled between two other
steaks, which are not served after the
cooking is finished. is also sometimes
called porterhouse' steak"
Not in these days Of high cost meat
would such a practice as the latter be
very generally followed, however.-Na
