Why They Laughed.

Iona Carr, mentioning at a Michigan
lake, tells us a good and true tale of a
club woman from Racine, Wis. who was
a delegate to a recent convention OF
women's clubs in Cleveland.
One morning she inadvertently left her
convention badge in her room, and when
she discovered her loss she sent a maid
up after it. The maid soon returned ;
the woman quickly pinned the ribbon
on and hurried TO her conventional du-
ties. And all day people kept staring at
her and laughing-she couldn't under
stand why. OF course, the sagacious
reader already knows that she was wear
ing the wrong badge; but she herself
didn't suspect it until dinner time. She
rushed into the dining room, late. and
the family greeted her with shrieks Of
laughter.

chair. What is the matter with met

Simple Air Pressure Test.

Any one can demonstrate the pres.
sure of the atmosphere by the simple
experiment which follows: On the fat
of an iron lay thin sheet of rubber
part of an old tobacco pouch will do.
Place small, thin lid containing
some wadding soaked in spirits of
wine on the rubber and ignite the spir-
its. Then press a wineglass down
tightly over the fame. When the
flame dies out it will be found that the
two articles are firmly united and may
be suspended by a wire, and some
time will elapse before they separate.
The explanation is that the fame CON
sumes the oxygen in the glass and
lowers the pressure when the greater
pressure of the atmosphere squeezes
the articles together-Exchange.

Dominion of Canada.

Canadians are accustomed 10 take
expression of the Dominion" of Cana
da for granted, but the origin of that
somewhat unusual term is known to
very few. When the great scheme of
Sir John Macdonald was finally real
lied and the nine provinces grouped
themselves together into one great con-
federation a serious difficulty was pre-
scented by the choice of a suitable
name. For time almost deadlock
ensued. At length one old member of
parliament rose from his seat and told
his colleagues that he had read In his
Bible that very morning the words.
His dominion shall be from the one
sea to the other Accordingly he sug-
gested that Canada should be known
as the Dominion, or Gods Land. The
suggestion seized upon the hearts and
imaginations of those present. and 1t
was promptly acted upon. - Toronto

To Pension Episcopal Clergy

A statement is being distributed il
the district of about 40 Episcopal bish
ops in the United States, including Yer
mont, setting forth that the Episcopa
church has determined to undertake the
largest single enterprise in its history
to institute system of pensions fol-
retired clergy
The church has made census of the
salaries now paid its ministers and has
had calculations made as to the cost
of maintaining a pension system. An in.
itial sum of $5,000,000 is to be raised
for the purpose.
To direct the task of obtaining this
reserve fund, Bishop Lawrence of Mas
sachusetts will, during 1915, suspend ac-
tive work in his own diocese and devote
himself wholly to this great enterprise.
The cooperation Of leading life insur-
ance officers and business men has been
obtained to establish the scheme. Local
committees will be appointed through
out the United States. including Yer
mont. To get this undertaking on its
feet will be the supreme task of the
Episcopal church in 1916.

The Cardina Bee.

The carding bee lives In holes among
stones and roots, making nests OF
moss lined with wax to keep the wet
out, with long gallery to approach It.
The bees find a bit Of moss. and sew
eral of them get in a row, with their
backs toward the nest The foremost
bee then lays hold Of the moss, pulls
1t up with her jaws and drives 1t with
her forefeet under her body and as
far toward the next as possible, when
the next bee does the same thing. BY
this means many tiny heaps Of pre-
pared moss are got to the nest. where
other bees weave It into the structure.

How Pausanius Died.

Pausanius, the Greek general, died
by self administered poison. When
hotly pursued by those sent TO appre-
bend him on charge OF treason and
sacrilege he took refuge in the sane
tuary of temple. Unable TO remove
him by force and also unwilling to vio-
late the sanctuary. the officers walled
up the entrance and began to unroof
the building. When he could be seen
they noticed that he was chewing
something which proved to be quill
filed with poison. By the time the
work had sufficiently advanced to adj
init of their entrance he was in a dy-
