Not up on Matrimony.

DR.. Ingram, the bishop of London.
was urged to take a seat upon the roy
al commission on divorce, but he stead
tasty refused. saying with a beaming
smile: "How could l, a poor bachelor
who knows nothing about the joy and
pain and mystery of the holy state OF
matrimony? But If things had been
otherwise!"
OF course the otherwise" referred
to the crushing blow that he sustained
when bishop of Stepney, when he had
trimmed his sails for a voyage over the
treacherous sea of married life. Seized
by a great inspiration. DR.. Ingram sent
round a printed circular to his clergy
asking them to pray for the Divine
blessing upon his forthcoming we'd
ding. His fiancee was so annoyed that
she abruptly broke off her engagement.
And ever since, like Hezekiah, his lord
ship has "gone softly in bitterness OF
spirit when it comes to questions OF
''love, courtship and marriage."-New

Office Etiquette.

If a girl is pretty and attractive she
is sometimes offered attentions by the
men in the Office, and some of these
they have no business to offer and
would never think of doing if they con
sidered her their social equal. Be very
sure that 10 we'll brought up girl in
society would think for a moment of
accepting an invitation to lunch alone
with a married man or with any man,
for that matter. who was almost a
stranger to her. She would resent such
an invitation as an insult and treat the
mar accordingly. The working girl, if
she values her position. cannot resent
such attentions very strongly, but she
can positively but firmly refuse them
and show the man that she intends to
be respected.

Air Men Take Oxygen.

Injecting pure oxygen gas into the
blood of air men and mountain climb
ers as an auxiliary supply to that in
hailed into the lungs is a remarkable
means proposed for the prevention of
the so called mountain sickness, which
is due to the rarity Of air at the high
attitudes. The preventive treatment,
which was described, together with the
experiments confirming it's efficiency,
at a recent session of the French Acad-
envy of Sciences, consists simply in the
subcutaneous injection Of small guam

which is claimed to persist for several

Don'ts For Visitors.


Do not expect to be entertained all
day. Let your hostess have a few
hours to herself. This ear be ar-
ranged if you have letters to write
or if you take a few walks alone.
Don't leave your room in disorder,
and. above all, don't make your visit
a big burden to the worker in the
house, whether mistress or servant. If
the former you should offer to help
in the little tasks about the home, and
undoubtedly you should care for your
own room. If there is a maid you
should hang up all clothing and carr
for your room so as to be no cause
for a notice given to the head Of the
house on account of too much COM
pany.
Don't monopolize the best chair or the
best place in the room just because you
are politely offered it by your host.
Act naturally and don't forget that
there are other beings in this world
with their rights.
And when you arrive home don't
forget to send q little note of thanks
to your entertainers.

DYNAMITE LET GO

for blasting out a trail and digging a
cellar and to keep 1t from freezing had
it stored under the house in an impro-
vised cellar. About 4 o'clock in the
morning he was awakened by the
cracking Of burning timbers and by
smoke In the room. He got up and
