THE FIRST STOVE.

The most important uses of fire
were taught by fire itself. AS the
primitive man stood near the flames
of the burning tree and felt their
pleasant glow he learned that fire
may add to bodily comfort; and
when the flames swept through q
forest and overlook deer and baked
it, he learned that fire might be
used to improve the quality of his
food. The hint was not lost. He
took a burning torch to his cave OF
hut and kindled him fire on his
floor of earth. His dwelling filled
with smoke, but he could endure the
discomfort for the sake of the tooth
someness Of the cooked meats. After
a time a hole was made in the roof
of the hut, and through this hole
the smoke passed out. Here was
the first stove. The primitive stove
was the entire house; the floor was
the fireplace and the hole in the roof
was the chimney. The word "stove"
originally meant ga heated room"

LIKENED AERoPLANE TO BIRD
Indians Comment, on His First Sight
Of AIrship, Brief and Very
Much to the Point.

Aviator Rodgers, while ON his way
to the Pacific coast, came down for
gasoline one Sunday on an ordinary
looking New York farm.
He didn't know where he was I'M
til man came across the field and
his face showed him to be an In
dian. Rodgers then knew he was
on the Seneca Indian reservation at
Red House, and the brave approach
ing happened to be Chief Bishop.
An aeroplane was new thing to
the Indian, and while men of his
race began to pour into the field
from the neighboring country as
fast as their ramshackle buckboards
and ponies would permit them, the
chief inspected his visitors sky We
hicle. After he had finished his ex-
animation the Indian turned to the
aviator and said:

LABoUcHERE's TEMPERANCE.


Mr.. 7. P. O'Connor, who knew
his subject well, attributed the long
life of Mr.. Labouchere, the editor,
to temperance in eating and drink
ing. He rarely touched wine, and
then only in the form of claret and
water; but he was incorporate in
one direction-that of cigarette
smoking. He would gulp down an
egg and a cup Of tea and stick Gig
arctic in his mouth, from which a
successor was never absent through
out the day. That long life of Lab
by enabled him to tell stories of
Bismarck in his unknown days, of
the original of Thackeray's marquis
of Steyne and of Disraeli's Lord
Monmouth. One of the genial cyni-
cisms of Labouchere which ought
not to be allowed to die is that ut
tered at a great banquet given by
Sir Henry Irving. "To think" said
the actor to the journalist, "that /
was once getting 95 a week from
you'll" "Three pounds" corrected
the journalist.-London Chronicle.

HOW PAIN WAS CONQUERED.

1t was a bakers son who saved
the human race from endless pain.
Sir James Simpson was the first
man to discover that chloroform
could be used to render persons I'M
conscious for the purpose of per-
forming operations. Until almost
the middle of the last century when
anyone underwent surgical opera
ton there was no way in which the
patient could be rendered uncon-
scious. Mr.. Simpson first practiced
it upon himself, and one day was
found lying unconscious on the floor
of his study, where he had fallen
after inhaling it.

NOT ALTOGETHER AN ANGEL
Beautiful Child Had q VIII Of Her
Own, Also q Temper, ~ She
AbundantIy Proved.

A tall, well-gowned young woman
entered one Of the city department
stores, accompanied by an angelic
looking little girl of three years.
'What a beautiful childp tho
shoppers murmured as she passed.
From one counter to another the
two went, purchasing gloves, a
white lace veil, some rose pink rib
bon, that the mother held under her
daughters chin and then looked at
her child, to see the effect, which
the saleswoman declared perfect.
All the time the child was sweet
ly acquiescent in all her mothers
plans.
Once or twice she spoke quietly
to her mother, who answered her by
saying, 'Perhaps, LATER" and
smiled.
Suddenly change came over the
angelic face. 1t was like a great
black thundercloud passing over the
face of the sick.
81 won't stop teasing" shrieked
the Angelic One, 81 won't. 1 want
chocolate ice cream! 1 will have it
1 will / willp The voice rose in
shrek of rage and determination.
Then she threw her dainty self to
the floor and rolled over and over.

ARE NOT SUCH GOOD "MIxERs"
Writer Says Men Think They Get 40
quaInted Easily, but Really
They Don't.

Edna Ferber writes fiction story
in the American Magazine in which
the principal character is Emma Nc
Chesney, a travelling ssleswoman.
On one Of her trips she took her son
with her, a boy Of seventeen. This
boy had to spend the night with a
stranger in a country hotel. Next
morning his mother asked him about
his roommate. The boy knew very
little, not even the name of the man
with whom he stayed. Whereupon
Emma McChesney broke out as fol-
lows:
"Men are the cussedest creatures.
This chap occupied the same room
with you last night and you don't
even know his name. Funnyl If
two strange women had found them
selves occupying the same room for
a night they wouldn't have got to the
kimono and back hair stage before
they would know not only each 9TH
er's name but they'd have tried on
each others hats, snapped corset
cover patterns, found mutual friends
living in Dayton, o., taught each
other a new Irish croquet stitch,
showed their family photographs,
told how their married sisters little
girl nearly died with swollen glands
and divided off the mirror into two
sections to paste their newly washed
handkerchiefs on. Don't tell me
men have a genius for friendship"

TURTLE GETS THE HEN.

While a man was fishing in the
Wissahickon creek recently he no
ticed a small speckled hen on the
other bank leisurely pattering about
in the shallow water in search of a
meal. Suddenly a slight disturb
ance was noticed in the water few
feet below the hen, and the head of
large swapping turtle appeared
above the surface for an instant.
After a brief interval there was a
splash, futter of wings and a Sc
ries of loud cackles. The snapper
had the chickens leg in his strong
jaws, while the hen, with her re-
naming leg, clutched the root of a
tree overhanging the water. Then
came a tug of war. The hen made
a gallant fight, but she had to let
go, and. moment later the turtle
went down and disappeared beneath
the Yater with his prize.-Philadel-
ph1Enquirer.
