NOTE CONTENTS OF POCKET
Mother Thereby Will Get Good IndI- cation of the Character of Her
 Small Son.

The contents of a boys pockets are pretty good indication of the boys character, and any mother who studies them carefully will find food for thought in plenty.
 The boy who loves nature will fill his pockets with pebbles, shells, bark of trees, bugs, worms, in short, with anything that he desires to study. One boy of my acquaintance went to school with couple of snakes in his pocket, but to his great sorrow the reptiles.shared the fate of Mary's lamb.
 The boy with a mechanical turn of mind will be pretty apt to treasure in his pockets good sharp knife, a six-inch rule, pencil and some bits of wood, wire and twine, says Mothers Magazine. He will also be apt to have half-dozen queer con- trivances, the result of his inventive genius.
 The idle, thoughtless boy will put anything and everything into his pockets without regard for rhyme or reason.' Articles wholly worth less will predominate.
 The degenerate and the boy who has fallen into bad company will treasure cigar stumps, cigarettes and matches, broken pipes, tobacco, bad pictures and bad literature.

ST. PETERSBURG SCANDAL

A fresh scandal has arisen at St. Petersburg, which is associated with the name of Raspoutine, the monk, who twists the Russian monarch around his fingers and influences the affairs of a great court.
 A gambling den, where people high in society have played for high stakes and fortunes have many times been lost and won, was raided by the police and all sorts of possibilities were in the air.
 Russian aristocrats, who hate and despise the monk, had to appeal to him to save them from royal extinc- ton. The establishment was off, cially closed.
 When the police made search of the papers connected with the place they discovered to their astonish- ment that Raspoutine himself was a silent partner in the concern.

EYE STRAIN.

The strain which the human eye is subjected to under ordinary direct artificial lighting conditions is only realized when person becomes aware of the fact that in letting the gaze shift past the filament of a tungsten lamp to the walls of the in closing room the eye has to accustom itself to change in light intensity of 7,000,000 to 1. Indirect artificial lighting does not cause this strain as the light source is concealed, and the variations in brightness in room thus illuminated is approximately the same as.in one lighted by north ern-exposure daylight. = Electrical World.

ESTABLISHING THE FLY LINE
City Real Estate Agent Throws Light on Subject That Is of Interest
 to Every Housewife.

"One thing about flat that sum- mer tenants will never take an agents word for is the fly line," said a real estate agent. ''They want to find that out for themselves, and re- sort to various subtle schemes. One woman to whom 1 showed a flat on Tuesday came back on Wednesday to look at it again, and confronted me in triumph when she found sev- eral flies roasting on the window sill.
 "I felt that you were mistaken when you told me yesterday that this flat was above the fly line,' she said, So l rubbed chocolate cream on the window sill and came back today on purpose to see if the flies had tray eled this high
 'Of course they had. With chocolate cream for a magnet fly would crawl to the top of the Met ropolitan tower, but ordinarily it is safe to say that in neighborhoods where both street and houses are kept clean there Is no fly line because there are no flies, while in blocks where the street is dirty and the houses clean the fourth floor is sup posed to be about as high as a fly cares to ascend. ."-Exchange.

TURKEYS ENJOY THIS PLAGUE
Visitation of Seventeen-Year Locusts Will Prove an Aid to Your
 Christmas Dinner.

The plague of seventeen-year lo- custs. which has fallen on parts of West Virginia, Ohio and western Pennsylvania, has turned out to be a blessing for farmers and fisher men.
 Until the present time the locusts. which are coming out of the ground In great numbers, have been unable to do any damage because of the baekwardness of crops and fruit. But they have proved boon to the turkey-raising farmers.
 Young turkeys as well as roosters and hens are fond of the pests, and as fattening food nothing ever has been found to equal them. A flock of turkeys will devour thousands of them, and the "squab" turkeys, which are eagerly sought in the big markets, are this year fatter and bet ter than ever, which, according to poultry raisers, Is due to the seven- teen-year locusts which they have deyoured.
 Along the Ohio, Kanawha and Big Sandy rivers the insects are be- ing used as bait by fishermen, who are reporting the biggest catches of recent years.

Lawyer-Madam, I'm sorry to say that l don't see the ghost of chance for you to break your uncle's will.
 Client-Well, to be frank with you, l don't see the ghost of a chance to pay you for what you've already done if the will isn't broken.
