Far Better.

In neat English village lived a to bacconist named Farr. Now, this tobac. conist had a rival. Both wanted the trade of the town. Farr, being a wit, devised a sign and hung it outside his shop:
 Best Tobacco by Farr.''
 The townsfolk, relishing a pun, flock ed to his shop, and his trade increased at the expense of his rivals business.
 Now, his rival brooded and meditat. ed, consulted many books of ancient lore, Roget's Thesaurus and n rim ing dictionary. One day his face was seen to wreathe itself into smiles. Cos. sip lowered expectant about his shop. The anticipations of the townsfolk were not disappointed, for that very day he hung out sign which read:
 Far Better Tobacco Than the Best by Farr." New York Post.

Name of the "Dooaer Rank.n

The Dogger Bank has long been care fully protected, because in the shallow waters that surround it there is the finest fishing that is to be found any where near the English coast. The wide stretch that shelves down to a depth of only 120 feet is the largest sand bank in the North sea, and in by gone times it was claimed by both Holland and Denmark. The name has nothing to do with the geological for nation of which the sand bank is com posed. 'Dogger" is a sandy, iron i'm pregnated stone that is well known to the geologist. But this bank took its name from the two masted fishing boat that has been used by Holland for sev- eral centuries in the herring and cod fishing in the North sea. The dogger is similar to the ketch, but adapted for fishing, especially in the shallow waters surrounding the Dogger Bank. St. Louis lobe-Democrat.

When the word asphalt is mentioned the first thing we think of is pave ments and streets. but this interesting substance has found many other uses, chiefly through the efforts of the chem ists employed by the asphalt compa- nies.
