Inspectors, acting on orders from
the fire commissioners office, are busy
these days calling Unexpectedly at
places where the mo smoking law
is being disregarded, says the New
York Tribune. A man in a factory
who was among those present on the
list of Fined S1O," said, regarding the
activity: THE zeal with which these
inspectors are doing their work re
minds me of a fireman who put out
a blaze all by himself. He was asked
what he thought he was, a cop? He
replied: The fire was smoking under
the very nose of a mo Smoking
sign, SO arrested it. )"

Harmsworth, Joseph Pulitzer permitted
him to be editor Of the New York
World for one day In order to exem
plify the Harmsworth conteuiion that
the New York papers are too big The
tabloid World, famous in newspaper
circles, was the result
Harmsworth called the STAFF into con-
sultation. Henry N. Cary, then news
editor, suggested as a joke that all
members of the staff should appear
that night in full evening regalia.
Everybody consented with one excep-
tion-one man refused. Harmsworth
came down in a sack suit He was
astonished at the display Of evening
suits and shifted the mothball smell
from affair." He asked mildly whether
the World editors and reporters ap-
peared thus clad as a usual thing, and
was solemnly assured they did. The
only person dressed like Harmsworth
was the editor who would not fall in
with the Joke.
Also, the only man Harmsworth took
back to England with him was the
man who was clad like himself.-Sat.

Shamrock Dict For Athletes.

has any modern athlete thought of
trying the shamrock as training diet ?
Most Of the writers of former times
who credited the Irish with eating
their national plant spoke of this as
evidence of the poverty of the people.
though some said it was eaten to make
the breath sweet. But MundH an OK
ford vegetarian, at the end OF the sew
enteenth century observed, with salts

themselves with their shamrock (Which
is the purple clover are swift of foot
and of nimble strength" And Lin
naeus wrote, THE swift and agile
Irishmen nourish themselves with their
shamrock, which is the purple trefoil,
for they make from the flowers of this
plant, breathing a honeyed odor, a
bread which is more pleasant than
that made from other materials.-Lon.

A Luokless Caterpillar.

Nature is a curious force There is
caterpillar In Australia. 1t looks for
food under leaves and twigs In the
usual way. As it searches, a parasite.
specially equipped by nature for the
purpose. drops on Its neck and fastens
itself there. In a week or two this lit
tie parasite seed begins to terminate,
drawing its nour1shment from the very
llfeblood Of the insect. The latter,
feeling sick, buries itself about two
inches into the ground. Eventually a
pale green stalk about twelve inches
high, at the summit Of which is a most
extraordinary flower, somewhat resem-
bling the top Of bulrush when In
seed, appears. The poor caterpillar's
refuge In the ground Is of no avail. for
its whole interior has to make room
for vegetable mass of roots. Sucked
as dry as bone, 1t is actually con
verted into a stick Of wood.-Johannes

the realization Of its object
ForethOught when exercised develops
the Imagination. The mind accustomed
to thinking ahead soon acquires vision.
This leads to freedom in a higher de-
gree. The one who takes no fore
thought is surprised, cast down, dis
couraged. when anything goes wrong.
Such a one is enslaved, imprisoned, as
1t were, by a wall Of circumstances.
The one accustomed to use forethought
is far less the slave Of circumstance.
Such one learns to look for way by
which to turn the unpleasant expert
ence into profitable results He uses
his imagination to find a way out He
thinks constructively instead Of just
blindly giving In to fate. He has
learned that by forethOught and imag-

when one way is blOcked.-Nautilus.

Raperters In the commons.

the house officials, although the latter
affected to be ignorant of their pres

publish the daily division lists itself

idea that there was something sacred
about the doings Of the house which
required the prohibition Of publicity
