Wife Wins, as u4uaI.

"Of course, one can never win an argument with ones wife" remarked a broker the other day. Even if ons is perfectly right in his contention, the fates. or the postoffice department or something else will turn up to make it appear that the man is wrong. For instance, a few days ago my wife remarked that a letter in a plain en- yelope dropped fin letter box would be delivered even if it had no stamp. Of course I knew better. and told her so, but she was obstinate. Just to prove my contention when I was at the office the next day I drew a pic ture of a goose on a sheet of paper. Underneath the likeness I wrote: Dear Madam: If you pay two cents to get this you are a goose.' l put the sheet in a plain envelope and ad- dressed 1t to my wife. The next morning the doorbell rang furiously while was still in bed waited for the wife or the maid to respond, but both had gene out. Finally went to the door myself. There was a fool letter carrier with that crazy letter, and 1 had to dig down and pay the two cents postage due. If had given ths letter to my wife she would have been still more firmly convinced that she was right"

Rules for Taking Weather.

The English are as insensible to their weather as they are to vast number Of other things. They talk oi nothing else; but there is yet an arti- fciality about the conversation that denotes it to be a standardized topic. If genuine feeling and emotion are ex- pressed regarding it by an outsider they become suddenly touchy. and what seemed neutral ground on which differing temperaments could meet with perfect amiability is seen tc be no better than a bank of bristling thistles. It is here that the rules of the weather game are seen more clearly You may talk of it to the exclusion of everything else; you are regarded as difficult if you have an aversion to a certain amount of speech about it, and yet there are cer- tain things you must never say about 1t. or. if you do, you must say them as though in spite of everything you would not exchange it for any other weather in the world, and you would defend 1t with your last breath.-Flor ida Pier in E-rper's Weekly.

Bruce sne the Spider.

Apparently the little fireside story about Bruce and tGc spider is in ths category of fables. So eminent an au thority as Sir Herbert Maxwell says ir Robert the Bruce"
 What is the evidence to be found in support of it? Not in the writing, of Barbour. Fordun or Wyntoun. thos, most nearly contemporary with Bruce and least likely to suppress a circum stance so picturesque and illustratinS So aptly the perseverance and pa tience of the national hero under des perate difficulties.
 No; nothing is heard of this adven ture ttll log after Bruce and hii comrades had passed away, and thel !: makes it's appearance in company with such trash as the miraculous ap pearance of the arm bone of St. Fiji ian on the eve of Bannockburn, ana worthy of just about as much consid eration."
 So goes another of the venerateC legends of childhood.

Divorced by Candle.

If the marriage yoke rests uncopl fortahly upon a Burmese couple. a di vorce may be quickly and inexpensive ly obtained, with a bit of excitement thrown in gratis. Husband and wife agreeing that life apart would present greater charms, the wife goes out ard purchases two small candles, made es- pscially for such occasions. These "an- dles are exactly the same size, tut each has some distinguishing marx. enc being intended 10 represent tEe man, the other the woman. A exact ly the same moment the candles are lighted, and the unhappy couple anx- iously watches them burn. When one candle goes out the divorce is com plete, bat with one eondition-the owner of the candle which has gone out must at once leave the house with nothing but the clothes worn at the moment. The other party remains in rossession of the house and all therein

HOW BETHLEHEM WAS NAMED
Pretty Story of the Origin of the Pennsylvania City, Now in-

In December, TAI. Count Zinzendorf the friend and protector of the Moravians in Saxony. ,ame to visit them. The original log dwelling sheltered both the people and the cattle. It was in this house that they were sitting on Christmas eve. Suddenly Count Zinzendorf arose and led the way past the parti- ion to the part where the cattle were ytabled. and there around the managers hey sang Christmas songs. After that hey could think Of no name quite so 5tting as Bethlehem.
 But in spite of church institutions Bethlehem is no longer a religious community It is industrial With the .oming of industry have come condi- ions of which David Nitschmann, .ounder of Bethlehem, never dreamed
 It wasn't an example O. the old brotherhood when. in 1909, five men were discharged because they had hgned a petition to the management ,f the Bethlehem Steel corporation tsking for the elimination of Sunday work.
