Couldn't Signal.

An old darby with an old gray mule
hitched to a ramshackle wagon stood
on the incline of Capitol hill, in Wash
ington. during one Of the worst sleet
storms In January.
The old man huddled in his rabbit
skin cap shivering, the mule trem-
bling with the cold. Two congressman,
waiting for a belated car, were attract
ed by the strange outfit and wondered,
as time went on and the darby made
no effort to depart. what allied the old
fellow.
One OF the congressman walked over
and said: why don't you move on.

The old darby pointed a trembling

An Amusing Toy.

legs are movably mounted in this
opening and are normally held drawn
up into the body. They are actuated
by a spring, however, and this spring
is held in leash by C catch, which
runs down to the rabbits tail. When
the tail Is pulled the catch is moved
and the spring released. Bunny's hind
legs shoot out and propel him forward
with all the suddenness with which a
frightened rabbit might be expected to
jump away from a tormentor or a pur-
suer.

Carpenters Saw.

Is a little notch and then a dip In the
blade.
IL often happens when saving a
piece of board that the saw cut will
get choked. When it does the car
penter just takes the saw out, turns
1t over and Use this little notch as a
sort OF thin hook, which will pass free
ly through the saw cut, and yanks the
obstruction out.
On the better class OF wooden planes,
near the front of the top, there Is
placed a small button of hard wood or
leather. This is for the carpenter to
tap on with his hammer when he is
adjusting the blade. On the modern
planes that adjust the blade with a
screw at the back this tapping is not
necessary.

FIRST PICTURE POST CARDS

In Nuremberg. Germany, they have
been making arrangements to cele-
brate the thirtieth anniversary of the
picture post card with a congress and
exposition. Unfortunately for their
plans. however. IL has been discover
ed that the first picture post card was
not made in Germany or sent from
Nuremberg, nor was 1t born in 1882,
as they had supposed. The distinction
OF making and mailing the first is now
claimed by Leon Besnardeau. book
seller OF Sille-le-Guillaume, near Con-
lie, department of Sarthe. France. In
1870. during the war with Prussia, he
printed pictures on postal cards he
was sending to clients. M. Besnar-
deau is still alive, and there are many
of his old customers in France who
have the cards he posted them. The
Germans adopted the idea for the
Nuremberg exposition In 1882.
