BEING the Vice President.

isn't it easy to be vice PRESIDENT
remarked a young woman who had
been sitting In one Of the galleries for
some time watching the senate work.
"Cinch," colloquially responded her es-
cort.
But senators know differently. for
they are fully aware of what it means
10 sit hour by hour and pilot their
august body through the parliamentary
tungles which frequently are confront
ed. The rules for legislative procedure
in the United States senate are prac-
tically no rules at all. paradoxical as
il may seem. The course of the upper
house is guided largely upon precedent
and past rulings of vice presidents.
and as consequence the presiding of
ficer must be thoroughly conversant
with what his predecessors have done
from the time the nation was born.
This means long hours Of study
and extensive reading.-Cincinnati En-

Hkissinu the Book,r

When did kissing the book" come
to be recognized as part of the Eng
fish oath? Master William Thorpe, Il
priest, who was tried for heresy be-
fore the archbishop of Canterbury in
1907, has in an account of his own
trial related a conversation between
man Of law" and a master of di-
yinity" on the subject of Oaths. The
man of law spoke of a witness merely
laying his hand on the book. where
upon the master of divinity said, He
that chargeth him to lay his hand thus
upon the book, touching it and swear
ing by 1t, and KISSING it, promising in
this form to do this thing, will say and
witness that he that toucheth thus
book and kiSseth it hath sworn upon
that book" So the practice is at least
500 years old.
kissing the book" must have been
a familiar practice In Shakespeare's
day, for in THE Tempest" there is
more than one jocular reference to it.
Swear by this bottle how thou earnest
hither," says Stephano to Trinculo.
Here, kiss the book" Offering him his
bottle of sack. There is also legal
proof that the practice was we'll
known in the seventeenth century,

A BARN RAISING

Recently many farmers and friends
gathered at the farm of Henry Den
field in the town of Maine to help in
raising a new barn. 1t is a large struct-
ture, nearly 100 feet long and 40 feet
wide. The barn was finished last
week and on Friday dance was given
in the same for those who had helped
in the raising and others. Nearly
every farmer for miles around was
present and there was music and
dancing which lasted until morning.
From midnight on the guests COM
menced to return to their homes.
Only one thing happened during the
night to mar the pleasure of those
who attended. A carriage loaded with
young folks was upset while coming
back to the city and several were
quite severely hurt. No bones were
broken but all were badly bruised
and shaken. 1t was one of the largest
barn dances" ever held in the county
and Mr. Denfeld was right in his glory
trying to make everybody happy.

Waiting Ostriches.

One of the oldest sights of the sandy
stretches of plain in southern Africa is
a party of Waiting ostriches. A
writer on the subject thus describes
their queer antics:
When there are a number of them
they will start off and after running a
few hundred yards will stop and, with
raised wings, will whirl rapidly round
till they are stupefied or perhaps break
a leg. The males pose also before
fighting. They kneel on their ankles,
opening their wings and balancing
themselves alternately forward and
backward or TO one side or the other,
while the neck is stretched ON a level
with the back. and the head strikes
the sides, now on the right, now on the
left, while the feathers are bristling.
The bird appears at this time so alb
sorbed in its occupation as to forget
all that is going on around him and
can be approached and caught. The
male alone utterS cry, which sounds
much like an effort to speak with the
mouth shut tight" -Philadelphia In

One Of the most deadly callings and
one OF which very little is known is
that of the workers in champagne Gel

without any obvious elements Of risk
to health. consists in turning over the
bottles OF champagne so that the wine
may be clear and transparent and alb
SOlutely free from sediment. The men
who do this work spend eight or ten
hours a day in the dark wine cellars,

Antiquity of the Ballet.

Strictly defined, the ballet is proper
" a theatrical exhibition of the art of
dancing in its highest perfection, CON-
plying generally with the rules Of the
drama as to its composition and form.
1t was in existence in Italy as far back
as a. D. 1900. the court of Turin I'm
that day making especial use of it and
the royal family and mobiles taking
part In 1t. The ballet was first intro
duced in France In the reign of Louis
Kill, and both that monarch and
Louis NV. occasionally took part in
its dances. About the year 100 WON
en- made their first appearance in the
ballet. which up TO that time had been
performed exclusively by men. as was
the case also with plays and operas.
but no woman ballet dancer of auv
note appeared until 1920.

Liuhtninu Rods,

There were no lightning rods in an
cient times. The first one that the
world ever saw was set up by our
own illustrious countryman Benjamin
Franklin shortly after the year 1852.
He had just had his celebrated expert
ment with the kite, in which he dem
Onstrated the identity Of lightning
with electricity, and was therefore
prepared for the construction of the
rods for which the world had waited
so long. 1t is not generally known
that Franklin was as distinguished in
science as he was in craftsmanship
and diplomacy.-Exchan
