The Process.

Finding one of her pupils in pecu-
liar distress over his lesson, teacher
in primary school inquired as to
the trouble. The boy stated this ar
duous problem:
eff Richard has three red apples
and John has four, how many have
they both got together"
"Is that so very hard?" she asked.
Eyes, ma'am."
"But, surely" the teacher con-
tinued, you know already that three
and four make seven. There can be
no trouble about that"
II know that, ma'am," was the
pathetic response. "But the process!

Barber Shops In China.

Since the Chinese revolution great
many Chinese have had their cues cut
off, and this has led to the opening of
a large number of barber shops
throughout the far east wherever Chi
nese are located, says an exchange.
Several progressive business men of
Singapore, anticipating this, imported
a large number of American barber
chairs, and they are. now unable to
get supplies quickly enough. 1t has
also been learned that the Chinese in
sist on having American hair clippers,
and refuse all other makes offered
them
1t would seem that American manu-
2acturers of BARRIERS supplies should
experience large increase in their
Oriental trade.

DAYS Effect on the Mood.

But the days themselves are not re-
current periods of limpid quietude,
They vary as the landscape in it's
extreme Of storm-terror and warm,
autumn haze. And we vary with them,
very mirror of responsive emotion
to all that surrounds us. The quest,
then, is to learn SO to live that we are
content to make,our way along path
we see but dimly, yet do SO having no
fear. Our faith must never waver in
the security of the way; and each
days journey must find us enriched
by what has been revealed. Thomas
Taper.

NEEDLE IN TOE 80 YEARS

After carrying needle in her foot
for thirty years Mrs. Daniel S. Horn
beck. school teacher of Milford, N.
J.. had the bit of steel removed by a
chiropodist at Newton, N. j. For the
last few years she had severe pain
in her large toe and the chiropodist,
in removing supposed corn, extract
ed a good sized sewing needle, which
had imbedded itself in the bone of
the toe. Thirty years ago, when Mrs.
Hornbeck was ten-year-old girl rum

She ran into the house, but there was
no sign of the needle in her toe and

CIGAR TAsTERs OF FRANCE

There exist in the ministry of
finance in France officials whose
duties are but little known to the pub
lie. They are tobacco tasters who do
nothing but smoke cigars, cigarettes
and pipes from morning to night, and
render account of the qualities of the
various samples submitted to them
They receive the tobacco in leaf and
1t is then made up either as cigars
or cigarettes, or cut for smoking
There are about twenty factories in
France and their products are sent
regularly to the tasters to appraise
the value. The Frenchman's notion Of
cigar is that it should be blonde,
well veined, spotted, brittle and
homogeneous.
