PUTTING BURDEN ON PAPA
chlId's Attempt to Figure Out Rela.
tionship Was Somewhat
Disconcerting.

James L. Hughes, an inspector
of the Toronto board of education,
was illustrating the differences in
child minds, at a lecture before the
City club of ChicagN.
''I have a little girl whose tastes
are strongly mathematical, while her
brother has no gift for numbers, but
still manages to think quite clearly.
"Nly daughter was speculating on
the degrees of relationship of her two
half sisters, Jane and Helen, and on
other possible combinations in frac-
tional sisterhood and brotherhood.
Papa she asked, if mother
were to die and you were to marry
again and have some more children,
what kin would they be to Jane and
Helen? Would they be half sisters,
too?'
1 had not replied when my small
son volunteered an answer after his
own kind.
4 think he said, IF anybcdy's
going to die, it's papa's turn this
time"

IN LAND OF WHITE NIGHTS
Uninterrupted Day That Must
Be Monotonous.

June is the month Of the "white
nights" in the north. In Finland one
can read newspaper in the open air
at midnight, and the sky is bright
with tender, gentle radiance. There
is no break between the sunset and
dawn, and the same rosy flush serves
for both.
Strictly speaking, summer in Fin
land is just one long day. The mo-
ment the first star glimmers in the
south it is a sign that autumn is at
hand. The long period Of light ex-
ercises a marvellous effect upon vege-
tation and the leaves Of trees grow
to an enormous size. Up north, the
development Of plant life is crowded
iFate iHte Q i-# few weeks, but it is none the
less perfect for that
Though few people realize it, it
is fact that in June London has
OH. t12 hours Of darkness. Up at
Aba.rl"cn in clear nights, there is no
darkness, only kind Of twilight.
Scottish gardeners, if they wished,
could work in the open at midnight,
except, perhaps, in the south of our
sister country.

NO CARD PLAYING IN CHILE
Woman Visitor to America From That
Country Shocked at the Gus
tom Here.

A woman who is a native of Chile
was talking recently about the diff
Guilty she had in accustoming herself
to card playing among women when
she came to this country.
"In Chile card playing among
women is undreamed Of. Perhaps 1t
is not too much to say that a Chilean
would no more play cards than a
New York woman would enter a
Broadway saloon. 1t isn't that it is
exactly, or wholly, a matter of NOR
ais with us. 1t just isn't the thing
to do. 1t is not conventional. When
| came to New York | brought my
daughter-in-law with me, a Chilean
girl. She and | were both horribly
shocked to receive an invitation to a
bridge party in the day time. 1t was
too much for us and we declined, z
says the New York Post. "Other
similar invitations came, and kept
coming. Finally, our curiosity got
the best Of us and we went to one Of
these affairs. Even after we got over
our sense Of outraged convention the
whole thing seemed curious to US.
The funniest sight of all was the
women with little tags on them, as
if marked by fast express or rum
ming up to another woman with a lit
tie card to be punched Finally, we
got sufficiently accustomed to take a
hand but even yet I never do it
without a covert feeling that I am
putting myself beyond the pale"

SPOILED WEDDING BREAKFAST.

The jealousy Of the bridegroom
brother brought a wedding breakfast
to a rude termination the other day.
It was the marriage day Of a couple
Of Besztetrczebanya, a Hungarian
village, after an engagement Of sev-
eral years. After they had returned
from the ceremony the bridegroom's
brother rose at the wedding break
fast, and, after toasting the young
couple and wishing them every hap
piness, declared that he had loved
his sister-in-law as long as he had
known her, and that he could not
bear to see her married to another
man. He then shot himself through
the head.

BLAMED ALL ON PRESS AGENT

noted for her eccentricities and over
bearing criticism of those with
whom she associated. Reynolds came
IN for large share of abuses, and
upon his return to New York he
told his employer that, rather than
go out ahead of this particular star
the following season he would quit
the business.
''What was the nature of her COM
plaints?" asked the producing man
a9er, who had been in New York
all the time and hadn't heard the
noise.
Mature of her complaints ?" said
Reynolds. 'Why, she kicked about
everything. Blamed me for bad busi-
ness, poor railroad service and every
other disquieting thing that hoo-
pencd. Say, in one town we played
she was invited to party at a pri-
