PIKE 267 YEARS OLD.

The pike is a fish for which now there is little demand. Yet Edward l., who regulated the prices of diff. ferent fish, that his subjects might not be at the mercy of the vendors fixed the value of pike higher than fresh salmon and at more than ter times that of the best turbot. Pike are supposed to live longer than any other fish in spite of their for mer popularity as food. Gesner re- lates that in 1497 pike was caught in Swabia with a ring attached, in- scribed, "I was first put into this lake by the hands of the governor of the universe, Frederick IT,, October ,. 1230." This is the fish's story.- I.ocdon Chronicle.

JUST !E THE NICK OF TIME
How Learned Llngulst Brought Re- lief to Situation That Was
 Becoming Painful.

The guests at a certain stag party were very dry. Considerable time had elapsed since the emptying of the last bottle, and the host, en- grossed with anecdotes, had made no move to remedy matters. It was really a serious situation-one that might become at any moment pain ful.
 How relieve it? Chance offered a way.
 One of the dry brotherhood, point ing casually to a Latin inscription over the fireplace, asked-just for the sake of saying something:
 ''Say, what does that inscription mean in English?" Then he turned to another of the guests, known for his prowess as linguist.
 ''Surely you can tell us what it means," he said.
 The inguist looked the inscrip- ton over very, very carefully.
 "That," he observed finally, "is a sentence taken from the works of Horace, which, rendered into Eng fish, means: Said the governor of North Carolina to the governor of South Carolina-'"
 Before he could get any further the host woke up. Thereafter, throughout the evening, there was never d lull.-Exchange.

CANDY BOXES ARE EXCEPTED
Lesson Which the Little Boy Drew From the Old Story of Pan
 dora's Mistake.

Detroiter two and a half years old IS just little over-fond of prying into whatever box or bundle he may happen to find about. It worries his grandmother; she doesn't like to see little boys so curious. So the other day she took out the biz. brlgbt-colored book of Hawthorne's wonder stories and showed the little boy the picture of Pandora. The way Hawthorne tells the story, YOU know, Pandora was a naughty, curi- ous little girl, and she opened the box that held all the troubles in the world, and they flew out in a hor- rid, buggy swarm and stung Pandora and Epimetheus, and ever since that the world has been full of troubles. The picture showed the swarm of trouble-imps flying out of the box and stlnging poor Pandora, ever so hard.
 "And so, you see" grandmother finished, "it's very dreadful thing for little boys or girls to open boxes that don't belong to them, because they never can tell what's hiding in the boxes."
 The boy was impressed by the story; he thought it over for quite a while, slowly, seriously. Then he looked up brightly and amended Little boys must never open boxes, must they, g'anmudder-'ceptin when they're candy boxes"

TRIPLES CAUSE TROUBLE.

President Farrell of the United States Steel corporation was discuss ing an interview with conferee.
 My friend was misquoted," he said, ''innocently misquoted, but the misquotation, all the same, changed the whole meaning of his argument.
 "ft reminds me of an old typo graphical error. George Brown was to marry Mary Jones, and the local paper in announcing the marriage meant to say:
 George and Mary have been chums from childhood.'
 But the compositor made this read:
 "'George and Mary have been chumps from childhood.'

 Worthless Tribe Of Nottentots.
 Tn the Port Nolloth district, South Africa, IS the Richtersveld, "an i'm mense area occupied by handful of thriftless Ho<tentots, some sixty-five families, or 400 members all told" So thriftless are they. one reads, that as often as not they eat up the seed wheat supplied to them by the gov ernMent in seasons of scarcity instead of sowing it. The natural springs at their doors are not utilized, but neg lected, and so a more industrious and energetic race of men is shut out and debarred from doing justice to the land But they are socialistic com munity.

 Then it is high time to make Jimmie your chum.

 1t is different now.
 The boy is big enough to be called
 The boy is big enough to be called James, and secretely he longs for long trousers. Unconsciously perhaps he Is tugging to get loose from his mothers apron strings.
 He begins to be a man.
 This is your chance to get close to him. Jimmie wants mate to confide in. You can be the mate. He would rather be your pal than to take up with any other person on earth.
 The danger it this:
 He may become ashamed or afraid to confide in you. And if he is either he may take up with some harum searum of the street.
 Some fathers are too dignified or stern. proceeding on the theory that a son must recognize the parental authority They lay down the law. and punish the least infraction of 1t, believing that will keep the boy straight.
