Extensive REPAIRS.

In order to stimulate his trade, the
village blacksmith hung out a sign
that read, Whatever 1t Is, Can Re
pair It" On the morning of April
fools day, the town wag elbowed his
way through the usual crowd that was
collected round the door, and handed
the blacksmith the parts of a broken
lamp chimney.
I'D like you to put this together for
me as soon you can, john he said,
winking toward the crowd.
The smith took the ragged bits of
glass, examined them carefully while
the idlers looked on with considerable
amusement Then he went into the
room in the rear of the shop. Step
ping across the alley to the grocery
store, which was out of sight of the
crowd, he bought ten-cent lamp chin
ney exactly like the broken one How
everyone laughed when he stepped out
of his little room a moment later and
put the whole chimney into the aston
ished wag's hands with the dry re-
mark:
I'll have to charge half dollar for
that job"

CARRYING TWINsHIP TOO FAR
Elder Brother Protested Against the
Accuracy in Duplicate
Careers

They were twin sisters, six years
old. They ate, drank, slept, worked
and played like twins. Their careers
so far had been almost identical. They
had brother, eight, who looked down
upon them with the superior wisdom
and experience of his two extra years
One morning all three were walking
to school together. The sidewalks
and streets were for the most part
covered with ice and snow, making
navigation quite difficult even for
strong, young pedestrians. 1t was too
early for the sun or father to have
cleared on the pavements
Suddenly one of the twins slipped
and fell solidly to the sidewalk. No
sooner had she accomplished this
graceful descent than the other one
did likewise.
Jaw, just because she lost a tooth
yesterday and then you went and
pulled one of yours out, too, is no rea-
son why you have to fall down when
she does,'' was the disguised comment
of their eight-year-old brother.-Co-
lumbus Dispatch.

CANNOT EXHAUST THE AIR
Scientific Explanation as to Why q
Lack of Nitrogen Need Not Be
Matter of Dread.

A student at the University of Wash
ington, having read about making nj
trogen from the air, entered the chem
istry department and asked the pro-
fessors there what would happen
when all the nitrogen had been taken
out of the air. The University of
Washington Newsletter says that
this is what they told him:
THE atmosphere over square mile
of land is estimated to contain 20 ,0O0,-
600 tons of nitrogen, which is enough
to furnish all the world would require
for fifty years at the present rate of
consumption. Even If that were not
SO, there would be no danger, for
there's a sort of dust to dust process
involved that is a safeguard in itself.
Nitrates, when they go into the
soil, are taken up by the roots of
plants and utilized. After the plant
decays the nitrogen is given on, and
it returns again to the atmosphere.
IF employed in the manufacture of
explosives, when the charge is explod-
ed part of the nitrate returns to the
air as gas, while some goes into so
luton, falls to the earth and is taken
up by the plants, returning later to
the air.

He KNEW WHEN TO ESCAPE
Story Teller Made His Little contri-
button to Gathering, and Then
Left HurriedIy.

Story telling was in progress in
the village pub. and the next in turn
was railway plate-layer- Round him
gathered an expectant audience
1t was just such a night as this"
he began, bright and clear, with a
touch of frost l was going down the
line, when 1 saw before me, lying
right across the rails, a great beam!
For a moment my heart stood still.
Then a distant rumble warned me
that the midnight mail was approach
ing With a great effort / flung my
self between the obstruction and the
line, and the great train passed un-
harmed
There was a thoughtful silence af-
ter he had finished speaking Then
somebody said:
IF you couldn't lift the beam, how
did the train get over it?r
Yes another interposed, "and If
you flung yourself between the OBJ
struction and the express, why didn't
you get killed"
Both questions are easily an
swered," said the plate-layer, siding
towards the door. 1.-THE obstruction
was a moonbeam, and / jumped for
ward so that my shadow took its
place. Then"
He got outside just in time.-Lon-

SOME DEFINITIONS OF LIFE
Not All Sadness as Some Affect to Be-
Iieve, but Cannot BE All Joy
Either.

Dreams, dreams, dreams,- an
swered Lord Beaconsfield, bending
over the fire, when the late Lord Ron
aid Cover asked him, just before the
end, how he regarded the life of tri-
umph- And then, characteristically
enough, smoking a cigarette which he
had Just accepted. the statesman said,
Il have not smoked since you were
here last
Life Lord Beaconsfield said to me
that last time was with him at Hugh
enden (wrote Lord Ronald after
wards), life is an ennui, or an anx-
iety;;" and he enlarged on his text by
saying that for the self-made life is
full of troubles and anxieties. for fear
of losing the position or the wealth
they have obtained; and for those
born with position and wealth there
is nothing to strive for, and life then
becomes a mere bore, an ennui, and q
burden My idea,'' he added, "of a
happy future state is one of those long
midsummer days when one dimes at
nine o'clock" Lord Beaconsfield had
left out the majority of mankind, those
who cannot afford either to be anxious
or to be bored, and. indeed, in that
halfway state l believe the truest
earthly happiness exists.
Life" added Lord Ronald, when
those we have loved and cherished in
it are taken from Us, is a long sad
ness; but, thank God, we may humbly
hope that in his good time we shall
again meet with our lost and loved

Rank and File.

He was a rookie" on his first sentry
duty at one of the government reser-

had told him what to do when the
off1cer of the day appeared, which by
rule ought to be at about half-past
nine that night Sentry was to no
tify corporal when the officer had
passed At ten o'clock no report from
the sentry. The corporal wanted to
know why Much perturbed, the sem
try said he was sorry. He had not
seen the officer.
Keep me posted" said the corporal
sharply. He might be late'
Fifteen minutes later the officer ap-

Cocoa as Currency.

Cocoa passed as currency among
the natives of Central and South
America at the time of the European
conquest, and that despite a plentiful
supply of gold Joseph Acosta, in 1910
tells us the Indians used none of
their gold or silver for traffic in or
buy withal,' and unto this day the Gus
tom continues among them that in
stead of money they use cocoa. The
Aztecs of ancient Mexico also used
cocoa" as small change, as many as
5000 beans being counted legal ten
der The value of the beans may be
judged from the fact that "a to1erably
good slave" could be purchased for 100
of them

Her Potato Glasses.

There's more than one way to ham
die the cooking problem, as one good
housewife has studied out to her own
satisfaction. Her eyesight is not as
good as once 1t was, hence she is the
possessor of two pairs of glasses
The other day she was engaged in
cooking and she was using the specta-
cles that she customarily wears about
the. house Then as she turned to do
something else she was seen to take
on her glasses, go into the other room
and get the other pair, with the re-
mark:
