'Oh, no. was the reply; plenty
of that-two miles regularly after
breakfast and two miles before din
ner.'
How long do you lie abed in the
morning."

without further parley the doctor
gave him some simple prescription.
At the door the man turned round
and in the loud. rafting tones of one
very deaf. called out: Doctor. can
you cure Deafness
Sir William shook his head and
made his lips express No"
At thought SO. You've been very
kind to me, therefore, I make you
welcome to this prescription which
he pulled from his pocketbook, add:

Mark Twain and Chauncey NJ
Depew once went abroad on the same
ship When the ship was a few days
out they were both invited to a dinner.
Speechmaking time came. Mark
Twain had the first chance. He spoke
twenty minutes and made great hit.
Then it was Mr. Depew's turn.
Mr.. POSTMASTER and Ladies and
Gentlemen," said the famous racon-
teur as he arose, before this dinner
Mark Twain and myself made an
agreement to exchange speeches. He
has just delivered my speech, and 1
thank you for the pleasant manner
in which you received it. 1 regret to
say that 1 lost the notes of his speech
and cannot remember anything he
was to say
Then he sat down. There was much
laughter. Next day an Englishman
who had been in the party came
across Mark Twain in the smoking
room. Mr.. Clemens" he said. ST
consider you were much imposed upon
last night. I have always heard that
Mr. Depew is a clever man. but really

Paper Movie Films.

Paper films are among the latest iuyeu-
tons in the Noncompliance industry, ac-
cording to the Popular Mechanics Maya
zine. They are really not films at all. but
are composed OF tiny photographs taken
with a motion picture camera and printed
on a tough Photographic paper the width
perforatioDs along the edges. These pap r
substitutes are especially adaptei for use
in the home or school, both because they
are nonexplosive and because their cost is
so much less than that of transparent films.
A special protector Is employed in display
ing them The same inventor has also
brought out a motion picture camera for
amateurs, which can be used without a
tripod.

Uncle Sam Tells How to Dry Fruits
and Vegetables.


Dry vegetables and fruits for winter
use, if cans and glass jars for canning
are expensive. Besides saving money
here, the fruit is said to be sweeter
and richer if dried. Drying was
well-recognized and successful way of
preserving certain foods before can
ming came into general use, the Unit
ed States department of agriculture
points out, and modern methods make
it still more practicable than former
ly either in the home or by commu
nifty groups.
Three methods of drying have been
found by the department specialists
to give satisfactory results. These are
sun drying, drying by artificial heat
and drying with air blasts, as before
an electric fan. Trays for drying by
any one of these methods, as well as
trays for use over stoves or before
fans can be made satisfactorily at
home. Frames and trays forNse with
artificial heat may be purchased COM
