Puzzles For Patients.

Although the patient had waited half an hour for her interview, the time had not dragged.
 "I worked on one of those puzzles,' 2 she said. By the way, doctor, you are not a chiIdren's specialist; then why do you keep so many puzzles in your reception room?
 You answered your own question be- fore you asked it." the doctor said. 'I keep them to amuse the grownups. Most people who feel bad enough to visit a doctor can entertain themselves better with a puzzle than a book or magazine. Every puzzle that has achieved popularity in the last twenty five years has place in that cabinet. Dentists also rely on puzzles to keep waiting patients in good humor, for even toothache will share attention with good puzzle.''-New York Times.

How Rain aoras Holss

When rain falls 1t does not actually soak into the earth, but bores its way in, forming tiny tubes. These tubes are so small that it would be impos- sible to insert hair in one of them without bursting it's wall Sometimes the tubes are bored down to a depth of four or five feet. When the surface dries, the water evaporates from the tubes, just as it would from pipe. If the tube is twisted it takes longer for the water to evaporate. If one takes rake and st1rs the ground after each rain he breaks the tops of the tubes, and the water will stand in them for months. In this way the farmers of the west, on the semiarid lands, store the rainfall one year and raise a crop of wheat every other year, there being sufficient water in two years, but not enough in one, to raise a crop.-Harper's.

Manners # Not Mathematics

The little boy, aged five, was sitting in the midst of the large family circle at the luncheon table. Opposite him was his young lady cousin, who min gled with her affection for him an ear nest desire to set his infant feet in the paths of knowledge. Just now in her intense way she was trying to teach him how to divide an orange into quar- ters.
 Again and again she led up to the point that she wished him to think out and as often he failed to follow.
 As she leaned forward, wholly ab- sorbed in her desire to make the idea clear to him, she asked once more, "But how would you get 8 quarter of an orangeF'

Trade EmbIens on Tombstonss.

In Scotland it was for a long time usual to place on a mans tombstone the symbols of his trade. Especially was this the case at Dunblane, where, in the burial ground of the abbey, it has been found that of those tomb stones which are from 100 to POO years old about one-fourth are thus marked, the symbols being in low relief. A sugar cane may be seen as showing the grave of grocer; an ax and saw, with hammer .and nails, occur on the grave of a carpenter; an awl and a hammer on that of a shoemaker. There are many other graves similarly marked.-London Answers.

Strangers no longer live in the cot tage Stuart built on the hills. A jaunty sailboat mods at the buoy near the waters edge. The drone of bees from the fruit trees in full bloom on the terraces promise a luscious harvest in the summer and fall. The lawn is a wilderness of flowers and shimmering green. The climbing roses on the southeastern side of the house have covered 1t to the very caves of the roof. Stuart has just cut them away from Harriet's window because they interfered with her view of the bay and sea and towering hills they love so we'll. And the crooning of a little mother over a baby's cradle fills the home with music sweetcr to it's builder than any note ever heard in grand opera.

! Los Angeles, July s0.--The case OF

contradictions by the lawyer de-
PENDANT himself in which he YER

given by Bert II. Franklin, John X.

in wrong doing was characterized by
Darrow without qualification az false.
After the denials came narration

Darrow's voice never rose above

telling the jury his feelings concern
Ing the proposed elimination OF the

would be misunderstood by organized
labor, and he also would suffer. but

The witness told of the plans for
the compromise pleas and incidents
in connection herewith, leading up
to the Franklin expose.
