Billy Clifford presented familiar
faces, and ones that the audience were
glad to see, when the Weston sisters,
Mae Ginger Ceilings and Nick Glynn
were introduced in the cast.
Clifford doesn't claim to have the
best show in the world nor does he
clam ii to be any great stupendous
production. But Clifford does claim
that he presents a varied and pleas
ing programme-someth extra
"Linger Longer Lucy" was worth the
money.

again. He is one of the cleverest
blackface comedians on the stage to.

an attractive and versatile programme

Water Pressure.

As early as 1913 a Frenchman of
science named Pascal experimental
with pressures applied to liquids and
discovered the following law: A pres
sure applied to any part of the sur
face Of liquid is transmitted IN
changed in amount in every direction
through the liquid.
Perhaps the most familiar applica-
ton Of PaScars law Is the hydraulic
press. In that machine a pump having
a small piston drives water into large
cylinder and thereby forces upward a
large piston. which congresses what
ever is placed between the platform Of
the piston and the fixed crossbeam at
the top of the press. If the area of
the larger piston is 100 times that Of
the smaller a downward force of one
pound exerted on the smaller piston
will create an upward force of 100
pounds upon the larger piston.

Niqht Scenes In Yokohama.

In most oriental countries sunset
brings quiet to the streets and there is
little night life. But on Theater street
Yokohama, IL o'clock at night sees the
great crowds leaving the movies, which
are close together, and the resulting
scene is one never to be forgotten.
Humanity packed too close for COM
fort surges in an unbroken tide from
one end of the street to the other. Add
to this mass Of many hued forms the
taking down of the highly colored ban
ners and you have a scene that makes
the dropping of the big top at home
look like a side show.
Sometimes the lights on the water
produce an effect almost Venetian In
charm, but the bulky canal boat lacks
the artistic lines of the gondola, and
the water sends forth q scent which
might be called by a palmer name.

narrow streets hurting the sheets to

Rocking Chairs.

Rocking chairs are an American In
stitution, although they are to be
found today pretty much all over the
civilized world. In England they are
invariably referred to as American
rockers" and indeed this application
Is not confined to that country. Here
and there on the continent you will
hear of them In the same category.
Authorities are widely at variance as
to the time and place Of the very first
rocker. But that the first one was
turned out more than 200 years ago
there is little room for doubt 1t is
fair to assume that it was the inven-
ton Of a New Englander who loved
his ease. He probably invented it to
offset the discomforts Of the severely
straight backed chairs Of our early CO.
lonial days.-Exchange.

Home Ground Flour.

Grinding wheat to make -four may
be done at home as easily as the
grinding of coffee Thus a family may
have whole wheat -four. freshly ground
a thing that is usually difficult to OBJ
tain. The New York Medical Journal
advises its readers TO buy their wheat
from seedsmen rather than from gro
GERS or feed stores because 1t will be
cheaper and more efficient.
The grinder can be used also for
cracking wheat. corn, barley, oats, rye
and other grains for use as breakfast
cereals. And the cereals will need
chewing. which will not only strength
en- the muscles OF the chewers' jaws.
but will keep their teeth from decay

Homemade cereals need long cook

Burdette and the Towel.

The story OF how Bob Burdette be-
gan to write for publication is rather
interesting. His wife was an invalid.
and most Of his verse and short stuff
were written solely for her entertain,
ment. One day he was talking to Frank
Hatton. who later became postmaster
general under Arthur. Hatton was
then editing the Burlington Hawkeye.
Bob" said Hatton, when you get
through reading your stuff to your
wife hand 1t over to me and Ill
print It."
One Of the first things he turned over
was his famous ode to the printing Of
nee towel This In part Of It:
Over and under was blacker than thunder
And daily put on o more inkicr hue
Until one windy morning without any
warning
u fell on the floor and was broken IN

Teaching Birds Tricks.

A professor Of natural history ~
flutes the statement SO frequently made
that teaching a bird to draw water
needs apparatus and that the learning
Is cruelty to the bird.
The following experience Of mine, 50
he says. proves that 1t Is not so by
any means. We bought a young bird
last January. so wild that on our ap-
proach 1t few madly round the cage
We hung the cage low and by patience,
after the bird got used to our proxim-
ity, induced 1t to take groundsel, first
held at stems length, then between the
fingers, finally from the lips. We used
to let him out freely, and he would
perch on the loaf next me at break
fast. His perch projected through the
wires, and here was his favorite seat
when at liberty. Then l tried hanging
a bit Of groundsel by short string to
the projecting stick. After inspection
he pulled 1t up with his beak. On
frightening tie string with a fresh
bit Of his preferred weed 1 had the
pleasure and interest of seeing him
pull up the string with his beak till
the flower head was within reach,
catching the slack after each pull with
one foot and then transferring 1t to
the other. so that the coils were quite

FAITHFUL DOGS BARKING
CALLS FATHER To CHILD
Little One, Playing In Pasture,
Where 1t Strayed, Kicked
by Horses.

Wheatland, Wyo. &C. f. Harold's
little son, Alvin, two and half years
old, was kicked in the head by a horse
the other day, his skull was fractured
and other severe wounds, seemingly
sufficient to cause death, were sus-
tanned.
The fathers attention was called to
the child by the frantic barking Of the
farm dog, and upon investigating he
found that the dog was guarding the
insensible form Of the little boy from
a bunch Of horses in the pasture where
the little fellow had wandered In his
play.
The child's forehead was crushed,
the nose broken and the eye laid open
by the flesh being all torn from it. As
he was still alive he was rushed to a
hospital with all possible speed. The
surgeon performed a very delicate OPP
Grafton, lifting the broken bones into
position and sewing the torn skin
around the eye back into place, and at
present writing the little fellow is get
ting along nicely and gives promise Of
complete recovery.
That he was not instantly killed is
probably due to the fact that the
horses hoof struck a glancing blow,
and that he lives at all is because there
was a skillful surgeon available.
