Swatted His Egotism.

An English lady was taken in to supper at a private party by a young ScotcLman who had a high estimate of his own mental capacity. The talk driftcd to th2 subject of the Scot abroad.
 "Iye often heard" said the lady, that Scotsmcn who leave their coun- try are, generally speaking, much cley- erer than those who stay at home"
 "Oh, yes" replied the Scot, with an attempt at wit. You see, the reason is that at every outlet there are persons stationed who examine all who pass, so that for the honor of the country no one Is allowed to leave who is not able to uphold h.s own and his countrys dignity"
 "Oh. then" she said, with a bright smile, you were Smuggled, were you| Exchange.

Suggestions That May Help Certain
 Husbands and Wives.
 1 hold fast to the private maxim that hardly anything is uncomfortable if one sets up that all mankind could not give one a quite worthy mate. But there is another alleyiatiOn; under standing not only that one is married to somebody else, but also that some body else is married to oneself and that 1t Is quite as hard for the other party. There Ore many excellent things to be done. Here are few:
 Do not open, each others letters (For one reason, you might not like the contentsD And try not to look liberal if you don't cyen glance at the address or 3he postmark.
 Vary your pursuits, your conyersa- tion and your clothes. If required vary your hair.
 If you absolutely must be sincere let 1t be in private.
 Especially for wiycs.) Find out on the honeymoon whether crying or swearing is the more effective.
 Once a day say to a wife, q love you" To a husband, How strong you are! If the latter remark is ridlcu- lous say, Flow clever you areT for everybody believes that.
 Forgive your partner seventy times seven. Then burn the ledger.-W. L. George in Atlantic Monthly.

ItIa Eaey to Float.

Floating means reclining on the va. ter. So long as one's body is straight ened out and the head Is thrown well back in the water the arms and legs will take care of themselves. One has nothing to do but maintain straight back and submerge the head to the ears. In this position one cannot help but float. It is a physical impossi- bility for the body to drown so long AS this position is maintained. But the minute you raise your head out of the water or bend the body or draw up the knees down you go.-outing.

Science is donig wonders these days in medicine as well as in mechanics.
