RIDDLES OF CHILDHOOD.
Did You Ever Spring One Of These Old
Timers on Your Parental

Timers on Your Parents?
We are just beginning to realize how
much our parents did for US. We were
the youngest Of ten children, and yet
when We asked them, What is it that
is black and white and read all overf"
they were just as patient with US as
if they had not give up" answering it
for nine others.
The other day Bryan ran all the way
home from school, and as soon as he
could get his breath he asked us, What
state is it that Is round at both ends
and high in the middlew When we
sprang that one at home thirty years
ago they guessed every state in the
union except Ohio.
In a city, where few people keep
cows, children cannot fully grasp the
beauty and depth of this one: "What
is it that is big at the bottom and little
at the top and In the middle goes flip
perty flop?" OF course we didn't guess
this when we heard It; but, having
churned great deal, it was an easy
matter for us to understand 1t as soon
as we were told.
Little Woodrow doesn't get out enough
10 learn much, but we are sure he will
turn out to be very bright. Already
he can write red" with just any old
pencil.
A real classic was brought to our
home about quarter Of century ago
by sister who had been away to
school. She came in somewhere near
midnight, but she awoke us all to ask
whats this Round as biscuit, busy
as bee, the rrettiest little thing ever
did see?' Well, we all had to give up
on that one. There were several good.
average intellects in the house, but as
there had never been watch in the
family none Of US could solve the riddle.
AS there are only four in our family
we must feign bewilderment about Gle
same things only four times, but just
think how much OF this was endured
by the old fashioned parents who had
ten or twelve youngsters.-FortW Worth

A Political Genius.

Congressman sometimes adopt queer
expedients to gain the good will of
their constituents. Years ago mem
Der from a western state was afraid
that his first term would be his last,
as he had not managed to make him
self power in congress. While he was
debating what he should do a friend
said, "You live near the center of the
United States, don't you?" Yes"
Then why don't you introduce bill
to have the capital moved to the prin-
cipal town in your DISTRICT" The'con-
gresham introduced the bill, and the
people of his district at once concluded
he was great man and sent him back
for another term. He reintroduced the
bill in the next congress. and, although
it was promptly pigeonholed in COM
mittee, his constituents gave him a
third term as reward for his genius

HOUSE PLANTS IN WINTER.
How They Should Be Cared For In q
PROPER Manner.

Don't fuss with your house plants
until you kill them" Is the warning
given Kansas housewives and other
lovers Of flowers by NJ. F. Ahearn, pro-
fessor of landscape gardening in the
Kansas State Agricultural college.
MANY amateurs" said Professor
Ahearn, do not realize that plant It's
sues need to rest as do the human It's
sues, and when the plant stops grow
ing they begin to dig around the roots
and then repot the plant. Plants should
not be disturbed in winter.
I'm caring for house plants keep the
temperature between 90 and 70 de-
grees in the daytime and 80 to e5 at
night. When plants are grown in an
abnormally high temperature with
moisture, the growth becomes soft and
they are easily injured. A strong
draft, even If only 10 or 20 degrees
cooler than the surrounding air. will
seriously chill the plants"

How to Rid Cats and Dogs OF the Pest
Of Eie,x

Attention has been called 70 the IN 4
that care must be taken In using tar
eamphor on dogs to rid them OF neas.
not to let them lick their fur before
the tar camphor has been brushed OF.
Tar camphor never should be used on
cats, for they naturally lick their fur
to keep 1t smooth, and In this way the
camphor will get into the alimentary
canal and poison the animal. A valu-
able cat treated with the camphor had
to be killed to put 1t out Of its agony
But in the case Of dogs this danger IN
slight.

Why Cats Are Able 10 See In the Oar

The human eye can only perceive
things which are revealed by light, and
1t requires much greater amount Of
Hight to use the faculty Of sight than
Is the case with animals of the cat
family. These animals have the pow
er Of enlarging the eye pupil, thereby
permitting the eye to obtain all Of the
light possible. As there is some light
present in even the darkest places, this
Is a distinct advantage and enables
cats ito see In the dark"

How to Keep Roses Fresh In the Heuss.
Cut flowers. especially roses, will stay
fresh longer If they are kept In salt
water. To get the best results a small
piece OF the stem should be cut on
each day. The stem should then be
slit about half an inch and salt put
in the slit. Fresh water should be
put in the vase each day. Great care
should be taken not to drop water in
the roses themselves. a. 1t WI turn
