What Makes People Laugh.

This comedian told of the time when he sought to obtain job with a certain manager, who said to him, Make me laugh If you are a come dian." That was rather hard one, but the comedian, equal to the Occa- sion, replied: II am too hungry to make you burst right out into laughter, but l can make you smile if you can lend me eighty dollars, and then don't take my address"
 'The manager smiled first" continu- ed the comedian, but not really at me. It was the mental shock of being asked for eighty dollars, and then realizing that he didn't have to give it to me. A happy mental shock usu- ally results in laughter, as nearly all mirth is caused by little brain sur prises. There is reason for the slapstick stuff. Just enter street car with certain pose, and see what hap pens. Why, little innocent bobbing feather of q woman's hat, which tick les the nose of the long-suffering man next to her, is provocative of audible mirth.

FOR BALL-BEARING PARTS
Measuring Machine That ls Infinitely More Sensitive Than . Hu.
 man Being.

The average person has little con- ception of the accuracy with which 1t is necessary to work on some classes of machinery. Ball-bearing parts, for instance, are produced in large quan- titles, yet in some cases the limit of error is placed at one-tenth of one thOusandth of an inch or about one twentieth the thickness of human hair. The human sense of touch is coarse in comparison.
 A multiple indicator described in Popular Science is a very satisfactory device for measuring parts that must be accurately gauged without loss of time. The machine consists of sub stantial base plate with an accurately ground, hardened steel facing and an integral standard carrying measur- ing appliance. The dial indicator reads in thousandths of an inch, each graduation representing one-thou- sandth inch movement of the indicator stem.
 The work to be measured is placed under the measuring point on the mul- tiplying lever. As this is very near the fulcrum, relatively slight mo- ton will be changed to one of ten times that magnitude at the dial in- dicator If the work is but one-thou- sandth inch larger or smaller than the standard, the pointer of the indicator will move over ten graduations on the dial. An error of one-tenth of thou sandth will move the pointer one graduation

ETRoG SACRED JEWISH FRUIT
Great Care Has 10 Be Used in Keeping This citron From Being
 Hlemished.

The etrog or sacred Jewish citron is one of the costliest and most interest ing, and yet one of. the least known fruits to be found in the markets of the world. It has been used by the Jews in connection with the feast of tabernacles since the time of the Baby lonian captivity and Is still treasured hy the orthodox Hebrews in many countries, says the Country Gentle man.
 In appearance the fruit greatly re- Sembles the lemon. and it possesses a strong and agreeable perfume. The tree itself is variety of eitron and the orange and grapefruit are mem bers.
 Nearly all of the etrogs, or ccdrats as they are sometimes called, are grown in Palestine and on islands near the coast of Greece. In these localities the groves arc planted in sheltered val leys where the trees will be safe from frost and drying winds.
 Great care is used to protect the fruit from the time of blooming until it is sold. The young fruit is tenderly wrapped in soft lint, lest it be marred by scratch or blemish, and when ma ture it is carefully packed in special ly constructed box with individual lined compartments. For religious pur- poses it is essential that the fruit be fran from hlap,iShac Evan tho doIi- cate stamens must be preserved intact.

young Bohemians. It had been |. glimpse into the wonderful world for the girl, which closed down abruptly when she had not the strength to go her own way.
 She had not seen Jack since that last parting, when she had promised to write to him. And all that was five years ago.
 Her fathers death had followed. Her stepm0ther, worldly woman, only wanted to get the girl off her hands. She had been touted shame lessly in the foreign markets-that was the way with her set-and finally the viscount, with an impoverished es- tate, had bargained for her. At least, not he, but the family lawyer. All had been very decorous, and well, Nina was to marry him on the morrow.
 She read her lovers letter again through blindlng tears. It was only little eongratulatory note, saying that he was dining alone that night at the little table in Renti's, which they used to occupy, and that he would be remembering her.
 The house was very quiet. Every one had gone to bed early in anticipa- ton of the exhausting events of the morrow. The girl peeped out of her room. How easy it would be to es- cape for an hour or two, to fly to Jack, to spend one last short hour with him, before the drab life ahead of her be- gan.
 She trembled; and then, with those memories of the past, she could resist no longer. She slipped on an old dress and hat and coat, and softly made her way down the stairs. She shud- dered as she saw the roses that had already been entwined along the ban isters, heralds of joy that was never to be hers.
 Half an hour later she entered Renti's. And her heart leaped as she saw the well-remembered figure, soli- tary at the far table among the lights, in the midst of the gay crowd. And the years that were past seemed like a dream to her.
 He did not even start when she ap- proached him, threw back her cloak and sat down facing him.

 "I had to come," answered the girl. "1 could not start on my new life after I got your letter without letting you know"
 "What@ he asked grave1y.
 "phat I loved you in the old days" she answered. "I should not be say ing this, but my marriage is not of love- on either side" And you will go through with it?"
 "Yes," she answered.
 He looked at her in appreciation. You never were a quitter,. Nina," he | answered.

 q am glad to have seen you, Nina," he said at length. We had a good time together. This will refresh my memory to carry it with me the rest of my days"
 She looked at him inquiringly. Do you mean to say, Jack, that you still care as much as that?" she asked in- credulously.
 He nodded. "But it's all right, my dear," he answered. ''The time to l fight was five years ago. lost you then-I deserved to lose you"

 He took her hands in his, and at the very last he lost his self-control.
 Stay with me, Nina," he whispered. "Stay! You have no one you care now, Nina. Will you?'
 The temptation was terrible. She fought it down silently before she could answer.
 "Only Jack, that never was quit ter, as you said," she answered. Tt wouldn't be honorable-that's all.'
 He let her hands go, and she turned away. Then newsboy came racing along the street.

 The headlines made her reel. She snatched paper from the boys hand. The Suffit house was blazing. The fire engines were unable to control it.. The entire block was threatened"
 There was no further word between them. She sprang on ear and Jack took his seat beside her. But many yards from the house the cars were blocked in the jam.
 The house was blazing ruin. Men were searching within it vainly for her. Nina heard the words that passed among, the crowd. All safe but the

CAPITAL AND LABOR BENEFIT.

When the Brunswick k-Balke-Collen- der company some time ago announced it's intention of discontinuing the man. ufacture of bar fixtures. because there was no longer demand for them since prohibition had closed so many saloons, the liquor press sent up a howl declaring that prohibition had thrown hundreds of men employed by this company out of work. lnvestiga- tion has shown, however, that the company had received immense orders for Edison photograph cases and sim liar work and that not one man has been discharged as a result for the diversion of the work into different channels. Not only this, but it is asserted that the number of men em- ployed will be increased rather than diminished, and the change is general ly considered by business men of Du- buque as favorable to the labor mar ket.

NOT ALTOGETHER SELFISH.

Tt is not altogether for purely eco homie reasons that industrial con- cerns oppose drinking on the part of their employees" says President Gib- son of the Chicago Pressed Steel com pany. The average employer Is greatly interested in the welfare of his workpeople. He wants to see them prosperous and happy He also wants to get the largest possible re- turns in his business and there is no conflict between these two aims. Whatever improves the physical, men, tai and moral conditions of workmen also increases their efficiency and so brings in greater profits to the em- ployer."

It is significant that these two facts are so closely related, but it must be remembered that Germany has learned the lesson of good tRlage deep blowing. the proper use of veg. etable matter in the soil and the dan gerous practice of continuous cropping with any single crop. It is also to pe remembered that the lands on which the most money can be cleared with, out any kinds of fertilizers are the lands that will give greatest profits with fertilizers.

EDITH STOREY AS BAL
 LET DANCER IN "A
 PRICE FOR FOLLY"
Reminded of First Time She Danced
 Tn Public.

In |" A Price for Folly" powerful five part dramatic screen story, and a Vitagraph Blue Ribbon Feature of exceptional power and tenseness of action, Edith Storey plays the part of a ballet dancer. As is usual when this Vitagraph star is to appear in an un- usual and novel dress, she designs the costume to be worn, and in this in stance exercised more than usual care in drawing designs for the creation of the ballet costume and in selecting material for the making. It not infre- quently happens that Miss Storey turns her home into a dressmakinc es- tablishment and not only supervises every detail but does the actual work. The ballet costume in which she is seen in "A Price For Policy" is a crea- tion from a composite design elabo- rated from more than hundred cos tunes collected and tabulated by her from those worn by celebrated ballet dancers of the principal musical cen ters of the world.
 "When l first put the costumes on,' said Miss Storey, q felt as if l could dance forever. You know 1 learned to dance years ago, because I am. well, call it a little over twenty and it seems a long time since l was a mere girl and attended dancing school.
 "When Mr. George D. Baker, my director told me I would have to dance in "A Price For Folly it pleased me more than any news 1 had heard in some time, and I immediately began practising as I had not done any stage dancing in years. Although it took me over two weeks to obtain the proficiency thought necessary, l was willing worker and put my whole heart and soul into it. l not only worked hard myself, but made the life of my little partner, Arthur Cozine, one round of ceaseless labor.
 When I danced in front of the CdiutIt, WiiHo Iiit NahiSi oiiioh wa" grinding out negative" continued Miss Storey. q experienced the same sen sation I felt the first time l danced in public, which was during my danc- ing school days. It was simply a case of stage fright but to me 1t added spice to my work, that l thor oughly enjoyed, and that is the big reason, I am always looking for new and novel characters to portray and willing to study and work that l may live the life of the character during its brief existence on the screen.
 And now l have confession to make: I enjoy playing naughty parts not because of their naughtiness, but because they give me that thrill that adds zest and the jingle of the un- usual. I would not like to play them all the time, however, as dignltled roles have their place in photodrama, and, and I want to feel my work will register just as forcibly in role that is not quite so congenial."
