Tactless Salesman.

The mstorcar salesman's lack Of
Judgment cost him a sale. He was
trying to sell a professional man a
machine, but he handed out the wrong
kind of talk and "queered" the deal.
His prospective customer had been in
two or three serious motorcar acci-
dents while out riding with friends
and really was just n bh timid about
riding In machine, although to please
his family he had just about made up
his mind to buy one. The motorcar
man, with much glibness and effec-
tiveness, presented the various virtues
Of his car. Just look at the axle" he
said. "Wheu you get in a smashup
that axle, unlike many others, will not
break, but will bend and so can be re
paired without much expense"
This unfortunate argument spoiled
the sale. II aroused the sense of fear
which the professional man had when
riding IN a machine, and he told the
salesman that he guessed he would not
place his order for machine at that
time.-Columbus Dispatch.

Leuend of the Echo,

An echo is sound reflected from q
hiStant surface. Sound Is produced by
waves or pulses of the air, and when
those waves come in contact with q
cliff or wall or other opposing surface
they are reflected like light or heat,
and tire returning waves cause a repe.
tition OF the sound. The word echo Is
Of Greek origin. According to ancient
mythology, it was the name of noun
tain nymph, daughter Of the air and
the earrh. Echo was one of Juno's at.
tendants but her loquacity dlspleased
Jupiter so she was deprived Of the
power Of speech by Juno and permitted
to answer only when she was spoken
to. Afterward Echo fell in love with
beautiful youth named Narcissus
and was changed into stone, which
still retained the power of voice. Mil
ton personifles her thus:
Sweet Echo. sweetest nymph that livst
unseen
Within the airy shell.
BY slow Mcander's margent green,
Canst thou not tell me of n gentle pair
That llkest thy Narcissus are?

National Political Conventions.

In Democratic national conventions
oVery state votes as Il unit, the will Of
the majority determining the choice Of
the state delegation, the vote OF two
thirds OF the delegates being required
to nominate. 1t has never been de-
termined whether two-thlrds of all the
delegates to the convention or two
thirds of those present Is requisite.
In the convention Of 1884 the opposl-
ton to Cleveland made strong efforts
to break the unit rule.
In Republican national conventions
every delegate votes as an individual
merely, and a majority vote is sufli-
cient to nominate. The only real at
tempt to INTRODUCE the unit rule, or
vote by states, was made in 1880 In
the interest of Grants nomination for
a third term (hls second term expired
I'm 1870, but 1t failed. These rules
have been adopted by convention after
convention, although their adoption by
any subsequent convention is In no
way assured.

One Way 70 Crack Nuts.

No tree in Chile is more popular with
the hardy youngsters than the Palma
chilena, or Chilean palm, which pro
duces large bushes of species of nuts
with q soft outer covering of green.
When this Is cut away hard shell Is
revealed, resembling miniature cocoa
nut. The flavor is strikingly similar
to tho cocoanut. In railway carriages
the schoolboy, with n reckless disre
gard for the conventions as well as
for property. finds an instrument ready
at hand for breaking open the hard
nuts. Without ado he proceeds to
utilize the window frame, which must
be brought down with considerable
force to accomplish the desired results.
Consequently broken panes are not un.
common Besides, rs one writer puts

Mammoth Oysters.

Pliny mentions that, according to the
historians Of AleXander's expedition,
oysters Il foot In diameter were found
In the Indian seas. And Sir James
Tenant was unexpectedly enabled to
cOrrOb0rate the correctness of this
statement, for near Trincomali enor.
nous specimens Of edible oysters were
brought before him. One of these was
found to measure more than eleven
inches in length by half as many in
width.
But this extraordinary measurement
Is beaten 10y the oysters of Port Lin
coin, South Australia, which are the
largest edible ones In the world. They
are as large as dinner plate and of
much the same shape. They are some
tines more than a foot across the
shell. and the oyster fits its habitation
so well that 1t does not leave much If
any margin. The delicacy Of flavor of
the Port Lincoln mammoth Is famous,
even In that land of luXuries, and one
is ample even for hearty appetite.
