TIMES HAVE CHANGED

In grandfather's day the
American family stayed
pretty much in one place.
1t grew up on the old farm.
or lived in the comfortable
farm house. The children
went not more than a mile
to school. and going away
to college was exceptional.
Travel had not become
general.
But the world has been ex-
tended. Today the typical
American family is scattered
much of the time. Father
hurries back and forth be-
tween cities on business.
Mother has her own interests.
and goes to meetings. con-
ventions, on visits and jaunts.
These modern conditions
are all good. They mean a
broader life and better op-
portunities. But they also
brino n certain element of
anxiety and loneliness. due
to separation. Trains are
delayed, epidemics break out
in schools. rumors and alarms
come flying from many di-
rec,ions, very often ground
less, yet causing worry and
fear.
The first resource in such
emergencies should be the
long distance telephone.
The family with the best
realization of the telephone
possibilities enjoys the great
est peace Of mind.

THE COLORADO DESERT.
How Sound Carries and the Way Nil
RACES Come and Go.

Talk about wireless telephones
The Colorado desert goes science
one better in that line According
to travellers in that neck of sand
and sagebrush, you can dispense
with any kind of telephone, with or
without wires, at least up to GER
tain distance.
Two men a mile apart can carry
on a conversation in an ordinary
tone of voice, particularly if there
happens to be small hill behind
each, writes Harvey Hall Kessler in
the Travel Magazine. The prevail
ing silence is so intense that it
might be called deafening.
Perhaps, after all, the weirdest
among many strange features of the
desert is the mirage. We have
camped perhaps and gone to bed
early in the evening with the ther-
mometer registering not far below
tn hundred mark. We awake,
shasering with cold beneath our
blankets, and look toward the east.
There is the slightest suggestion
of light in the sky there, which as
we watch grows slowly in strength
A grayish haze marks the horizons
edge, which stands out more sharply
at one point, from which broad
pale rays creep up and out high
above in the sky. TT hese again
slowly fade as a point of brilliant
light appears at their base. This
point grows to a half circle, then
breaks and runs along the sky line
in a surging, golden lake.
Upon the shores of this lake
cities spring up, towers, spires anc
solid blocks. These fade into field.
and forests and farming scenes
fields of golden grain, cattle stand
ing in green alfalfa, SHEETS of wa
ter. The mountains near the edge
of the lake separate from theil
bases and float upward, topple ovel
and stand on their heads, their un'
wieldy feet in air.
Soon our lake begins to contract
and collect into a big round ball o.
dazzling brilliance hung just above
the horizon. Farms and forest dis
appear. The mountains, as though
abashed at being caught in such al
unseenly attitude by the broad
light of day, quickly resume thei1
normal position, while all the starl
landscape stiffens into unstirring en-
durance of the garish light ant
blazing heat of the desert sun. Thl
mirage is gone like bubble. Onl!
the gray desert remains.

he WANTED 1T REALISTIC
TolstoI Know How q Man Ought to
Act After Being Kicked
Downstairs.

Some old anecdotes are told Of
Count Tolstoi. Once, when one Of
bis plays was being rehearsed at a
theater, he was invited to be pres
ent. His religion did not prevent
him from accepting the invitation,
but he went to the theater as he
went to his work-dressed as a peas
ant. 1t was small company of the
very select, and the doorkeeper was
careful to admit only the prepor per
sons. When, therefore, a shabby
lookine peasant appeared in the en-
trance hail he ordered the man in
peremptory tones to get as far away
as he could in as little time as pos
sible. AS the peasant showed nc
immediate signs of obeylng, the
doorkeeper seized him and threw
him down the eteps.
'My names Folstoi," the peasant
said when he had picked himself uF
again.
The doorkeeper, when he could
find words to express his amazement
was profound in bis apologies. There
happened to be in the play an Incl.
dent Of similar kind, and at thC
close of the performance, in a little
speech he was called upon to make
the cou6t complained that the actor
did not make the most of this Incl
dent.

VARIETY ON HIS TABLE.
Ne Had Four Kinds of Meat aad -Four
Kinds of Bread.


Old man Wowton, the rnsanest
citizen in all the blue grass country,
drove up to the market plGe in
Lexington, where an army Of ne
groes stood about or lay basking in
the early morning sun waiting for
some man to hire them. The old
man was so stingy that he usually
had great difficulty in engaging ne
grpes TO do extra work on his farm.
But this time he struck q bargain
Immediately with big Bill Saunders
and the half dozen powerful but
lazy blacks who follow at his heels.
All the others were greatly sur
prised to see this gang ambling out
on the big road toward Mr.. Wow
tons place. Next morning they
were mystifed to see big Bill and
his cronies again in the market
place.
"Whadja doin' hyuh, Bill ?" asked
Hannibal Harrison Tyler.
'Iookin' fo' wuk," Bill replied
sadly.

A French medical man advises
people to drink buttermilk for long
life. lie saws that the tactic acid
dissolves every sort of earthly depos,
it in the blood vessels, keeping the
veins and arteries SO supple and free
running that there can be no clog
ging up, and hence there is no de
post of chalky matter around the
joints or of poisonous waste in the
muscles. Ii is the stiffening and
hardening of the blood vessels
which bring on old age. Butter

OF this disgrace he was so ashamed

improvement is sufficiently known.

TRICK SHOOTING.
Tho Way Some of the Stage Feats Are
Accomplished.

When a champion rife shot fires
blindfolded at a wedding ring or q
penny held between his wife's
thumb and finger or seated back to
her shoots, by means of a mirror, at
On apple upon her head or on a
fork held in her teeth, the danger
of using a bullet is obvious. None.
Of course, is needed. The explo-
sion is enough. The apple is al
ready prepared, having Been cat
into pieces and stuck together With
an adhesive substance, and q thread
with a knot at the end, pulled
through it from the wings" SO
that it flies to bits when the gun is
fred, is chow it is done"
Generally the more dangerous q
feat appears the more carefully is
all danger guarded against. In the
civilian Tell" act the thread is
often tied to the assistants foot.
When, again, the ash is shot off a
cigar which the assistant is smok-
ing a piece of wire is pushed by his
tongue through a hollow passage in
the cigar, thus thrust ting off the ash
at the moment of firing.
A favorite but simple trick is the
shooting from some distance at an
orange held in a lady's hand. Great
applause is invariably Forthcoming
when the bullet drops out on her
cutting open the fruit. 1t is insert
ed by.hand earlier in the evening.
Another popular trick is that o1
snufing out lighted candles. Hall
o dozen are placed in front of g
screen, in which as many small
holes are bored, enc against each
candle wick. At the moment o1
firing a confederate behind the
screen sharply blows out each can
die with pair of bellows.
In most instances where q ball OF
other object has to be broken On q
living persons head blank car
fridge is used and the effect pro.
duced by other means. A specia
wig with a spring concealed in il
worked by a wire under the clothes
is generally used, the confederate
manipulating the spring simulta
neously with the firing OF the rifle
AS the ball is of extremely thin
glass, a mere touch suffices to shat
ter it.
In these exhibitions some Of the
rife experts" invite gentlemen
from the audience to testify that
the weapon lis indeed loaded. The
cartridge shown looks very well, but
