DIDN'T HAVE MUCH

A slouchy-lo looking boy of about
thirteen was standing on the
street corner, when a we'll
dressed young man walked up
to him.
"Say, sonny, can you give me
a cigarette paper 2"
Eyes, SIR said the boy, and
pulled one out of his pocket.
No sooner had the young man
procured the paper than he
said, couldn't you loan me a lit
tie tobacco, too?"
The boy pulled out his tobac-
co box and gave the young man
enough to make a cigarette
After he had completed the
cigarette the young man said,
Nov, I'd like to trouble you
for a match"
The lad rammed his hand in
his pocket, looked up and said,
"You amt got a darn thing but

The American Light.

For several nights a battery
of Is flood lights was turned on
the American falls and the rap
ids Of the Niagara river, to the
great delight of thousands.
In Illuminating the waterfall
at night the light is projected
from an ingenious patented re-
fiector, which spreads beams of
pure yellow light which very
closely resembles sunlight upon
the curtain of falling water and
mist. An artistic realistic eff
feet is produced, which would
be unattainable by any other
means. With this system Of
flood lighting, receiving it's pow
er from the falls themselves,
there is no dark center or wing
shadow in the light beam. The
falls are smoothly and softly
lighted.-Popular Science.

THE NIGHT SHIFT

La Crosse, Wis, Leader-Pre
"The Night Shift" is something
the community knows little
about. Not only the one bright,
dependable girl, alert and wake
full while the city sleeps, ready
to summon the doctor for you,
the fire department or the po-
lice, getting you up in time for
that early train, even routing
you out cheerfully the morning
the trout season opens not only
the telephone girl, but the fire
department with several men al
ways waiting to spring to the
horses heads-the police force,
travelling a solitary beat night
after night, the train dispatch
ers, the roundhouse men, the
train hands, the electricians, the
night nurses in the hospitals,
bakers, hack drivers and their
patient horses, mothers of little
children, who sleep with one eye
open all the time-all these and
many others, make a list of toll
ers whose service is all the more
remarkable because so little no.
ticed.
Kipling has enshrined .'The
Night Shift" among the worlds
best in his "Sons of Martha"
They do not pray to their God
that He will arouse them
A little before the nuts work
loose;
They do not reach that His pity
allows them
To leave their work whenever
they choose.
AS in the thronged and light
ened ways,
So in the dark and the desert
they stand,
Wary and watchful all their
days,
That their brethren's days may
be long in the land.
Not because of pity for the
might toilers, nor in belated
words of thanks, but because of
their superior quality, trained
in unusual forms of service
because their fellowship is good
company, one ought to spend
some sleepless night making the
rounds in imagination, at least
among .The Night Shift" They
are fellows good to know.

plants. Th.S Is woven together with spiders webs into q compact mass. Usually they ornament the outside of the nest with small feathers or lichens which they ohtain by detaching them from tue rocks where these humble plants grow These they fasten with cobwebs all over the exterior of their tiny house
 When these wee architects suspend their nets from leaves or tendrils they are always weighted for stability In order that they may not be upset by every passing breeze. For this pur- pose the bottom is made very thick. But the most remarkable expedient Is that adopted by the hill stars. which dwell far up near the snow line of the Andes They weight the tiny suspend ed house on the lighter side with pebble to give the proper balance. There is no question whatever that this is done. and many of the nests of such species preserved in collections are found to contain pebbles.-ROse L. HOneyman in St Nicholas.

Then He Discovered the Magic Power
 of the Water Jet.
 The water jet has been used for 30 many years In putting down and pull ing pilIng that its discovery has long since been lost sight of It was used during the civil war and for many years previous by government en Eineers.
 Tradition has it that the discoverer of the advantages of the water jet was a government engineer and that his discovery was made in the following manner: IL seems that along in the forties this engineer was building a wharf and was having unusual diff culty in putting down his piling. One day in wading around his boots be- came stuck in a tenacious mud. and he found 1t impossible to pull them out There happened TO he q hose near by. and one of the men handed 1t to the officer the idea being that he would wash the mud away from his boots. The water was turned on. and the otti- cpr applied Il stream to h!s feet.
 To his surprise he sank deeper He tried 1t again and went down still far. ther in the mud By this time he was In up to his waist and still going down Astonished by his discovery. he con, tinued to apply the stream to his feet. and he might be going down yet had not his men come to the rescue and pulled him out by means of a small hand derrick
 Once on shore he began ''tO think the matter out" If stream of water ap piled to a mans feet will cause him to sink deeper in the mud why wouldn't 1t have the same effect if applied to the base of a pile? He tried it, and the pile which had obstinatcly refused to go down before sank easily to place and in that way. so runs the story, was discovered the use of the water Jet for putting down plling. - Philadelphia Record
