Iona Time in Transit,

On October 8, 1889, a clerk in the
employ of New York steamship bro
ker mailed letter to the master of
the Swedish bark Superior at Mar
seilles.
The letter was never delivered But
in the autumn of 1913 it was returned
to the steamship brokers' office,
stamped all over it's face The best
explanation offered for it's 80 years in
transit was that it had lain in the
Swedish consulate at Marseilles all
those years, and that during a house
cleaning was found and remailed.
In the post office department Off
cials tell of a letter that was mailed
from there in 1852, addressed to Rob-
ert S. Mckay at New Orleans The
letter followed Mr. Mckay to Russia,
where he was a consulate attache But
he had died there and had left in his
will a provision that all his papers
should be locked up until his five-year-
old son and namesake attained his ma
jority.
When 1868 arrived the son was trav-
cling and exploring in Africa A law
clerk, not knowing the provisions of
the 1852 will, supposed the letter was
l. the present Mr.. Mckay and start
ed 1t forth again. 1t rested in Cape
Town through error until the year
1871.
When it was started back to New
Orleans Mr.. Mckay had left for ex-
ploration in Chile Letter and ad-
dressee finally got together in Louisi-
ana in 1874. And strange to say. mat
ters of business importance to the
father were still of business interest
to the son.

Quaint Economics.

The most curious example of war
economy, as practiced in London, is
that two of the greatest London stores
have now dropped apostrophes in
their announcements and catalogues.
A large teashop firm issue advice for
economists by way of a notice on
their tea tables One suggestion Is
that if people who formerly took two
Jumps of sugar would now take only
one there would be a considerable
saving to the nation and assistance
in carrying on the war. Some of the
customers have acted on the advice.
but. fearful that they might embarrass
the firm by making their economy a
matter of profit to them, make a habit
of unblushingly pocketing the second
lump to be used at home Empty tin
cans have now a value, and one firm
has exchanged a pound of their coffee
for one and a half dozen coffee tins.

Wind Imprisons Woman.

Imprisoned in closet by the wind
slamming door fast, Mrs. Mollie Cor
derry who lives near Bridgeville, Del,
had a narrow escape from death, and
when discovered was nearly overcome
by the shock.
Mrs. Cordery was cleaning the attic
and while she was looking in an old
closet a gust Of wind slammed the
door and locked 1t from the outside
There was no one but herself in the
house, and it was nearly an hour be-
fore Mrs. Cordery's screams happened
to be heard by a gang of men who
were repairing the road. With all
the doors locked downstairs, Harry
Richards climbed to the second floor
and got through by a window. When
Mrs Cordery was found she was in
a pitiable state. She is still serious.

Able to Defy BURGLARS.

The story of the strong room is moth
ing more than one long fight between
the shoemaker and the burglar But
at last the vault maker would appear
to have won. and it is the boast Of
experts that many of the strong rooms
found in the more up-to-date safe de-
pos;ts, banks and other institutions
are not only burglar-proof, but proof
against attack by armed mObs and
also from earthquake shocks Their
great steel walls are absolutely un-
drillable on account Of the hardness of
the metal employed, while by welding
the plates together it is virtually i'm
possible to burn through them
Then. by means of time and com
bination locks, it is impossible to open
the doors without a key and knowi
edge of the combination, once they
are closed AS a further precaution.
many of these strong rooms are so
designed that an electrical alarm is
sounded should attack be made upon
them, or the basement in which they

Hates All Beetles.

After you're we'll acquainted with
the phoebe and catch some of her spir-
it of friendliness and companionship,
you won't care a snap Of the finger
that she can't sing very well, nor that
she isn't good looking. You'll well
come her in spring just as if she were
Venus for looks and Melba for voice.
You'll listen for her first notes and
say: There's Phoebe back again"
She's the earliest arrival among the
fycatchers, reaching here about March
21, even before the flies. She seeks
out her last years home under the
bridge, or beneath the rafters of the
barn. and starts renovating her nest.
Often when an INSCRIPTIONS cowbird
usurps the nest to lay eggs of her
own. the phoebe will build another
nest atop the old one and start house
keeping over again as if nothing had
interrupted.
We've remarked that she couldn't
sing, yet her little ''phebee" note is
one of the cheeriest of springtime.
We've said she wasn't beautiful, yet
her dull olive-brown coat, with yel-
lowish-white breast are far more at
tractive than some birds of gay plu-
mage. The phoebe is beautiful be-
cause she is useful.
From the time of her arrival until
she leaves late in the fall she's busy

The banker glanced at the man be-
side him. The thin, bronzed face was
slightly flushed. and there was fire
in the passionate eyes which seemed to
cause the observer new emotion. He
turned way, his thin features twisted
into wry smile.

"One might expect everything of

Again the swift, anxious glance
swept over his face

If there was covert sueer in the
last words Farquhar was not in a po
sition to notice it, for he bad already
begun to cross the room. One or two
people spoke to him, but he answered
absently. and they did not detain him.
A pair of heavy tapestry curtains sepa-
rated the so-called library from the
drawing room. He pushed them softly
aside and entered.
Sylvia Omney stood at the long table
beneath the subdued cluster of electric
light, her head bowed, her back toward
him. She did not seem to hear his en-
trance, for she did not move. and he
did not seek to call her attention. She
was not looking at the great folio
which lay spread out before her. but
staring sightlessly into the shadows.
