Sailors Do Own Washing.

Did you ever notice how spic and
span Uncle Sans jackies always look
when they are on shore leave or
aboard ship? And did you ever real
lie that Jack is his own washwoman?
They have washdays aboard the fight.
ing ships as well as the housewives
have theirs. Every man has to be
on the job when the boatswain's mate
orders Wash Clothes" In the old
days this was some task. Each man
had to wash his soiled clothes In a
bucket Of water and hang them on
the line to dry. But Oh the newest
battleships washing and drying ma
chimes have been installed which do
away with all hand work and much
labor. The old familiar sight OF a
long line Of clothes strung up is no
longer to be seen. Also the boatswain's
mate has forgotten how to pipe wash
clothes When Jacks apparel is
goiled he just throws 1t into the wash
Ing machine and in q few minutes It
comes out clean and dry.

Fox Liked His Comfort.

An unusual sight met the gaze Of a
Duarte (Cal) man when he opened
his house the other morning and found
his swinging seat occupied by a full
grown fox. With the cushion for q
nest the fox was resting comfortably
and evidently enjoyed his quarters.
When his presence became known the
members OF the family came trooping
out to see the porch climber. Then
the fox disappeared under the house,
where his nature prompted him to
hide until the spectators left the
porch, when, finding the coast again
clear the fox gracefully jumped on the
porch and into the swinging seat, and,
with an almost human air of comfort
and Satisfaction, adjusted the pillow
and settled down to complete the
morning nap. When again interrupted
The fox disappeared and headed for
the mountains. The theory that II
had escaped from . luxurious captiv-
Wy probably accounts for the domestic
tastes of the visitor.

Good-By, Home Life.

"A primary cause Of divorce Is the
disappearance of home life-the extinc

The speaker was Mary Pickford, the
movie actress. She went on:
"A man said to me the other day:
".No, I'm rarely home. You'll find
me, as rule, at the Country club. I'd
rather play golf than eat"
"'But how about your wife, said /
Does she approve of such sentiments?

Miss Melissa Crane had lived alone
In the red brick house In Locust street
for over Is years. Living alone some
times mnkes one sweeter. mellower.
and more tolerant Of ones fellow crea-
lures. Miss Melissa had been decent,
od-fearing woman, living strictly
within the letter Of the law. II she
had ever had a love affair It was en-
tirely unknown to anyone in Barring
ton. Still, good deal might have hap
pened before then, as Melissa Crane
was all Of thirty when she came there.
Old Hannah, who had gone faith
fully for years, once year to "clean
up for Miss Crane. probably knew
more about that lady's affairs than
anyone else In Darlington. ODDLY
enough, Miss Crane was even at times
confidential with her servitor, perhaps
because she found she was Hike. herself,
close-mouthed.
When old Hannah was set to open
up and clean long disused bedroom,
her curiosity got the better Of her.
"Going to have companyf" she ven
tured.
"Nc." answered Miss Crane. 'It's a
child" At the woman's astonished
look she added: ~ guess she must be
more than twelve. I didn't think to
ask. Oh, deari don't know how I'm

The residents Vi a small town in
New Jersey were for years pestered
by an unusual number Of mosquitoes
which, upon investigation, were found
to be propagating in stagnant pools
Of water lying between the railroad
tracks and the nearest street. 1t was
found that these could not be drained
to the street cutters, hence another
method had to be employed, and it
was decided to sink the water into the
ground. A heavy charge Of dynamite
was sunk and discharged about 20 feet
under the surface. This caused the
pools Of water to disappear in short
order, and they disappeared perman-

Ethel was not quite the unframed

though she had her quota Of faults, and
committed some Of the usual childish
misdemeanors. But she succeeded in
penetrating the rather hard crust OF
Melissa's heart to the extent of hot

1t was a sore trial to the elder won

love as her own seemed to care
for the company of Irwin Banks. Ethel
was now nineteen. She had been grad1-

been studying at an art academy, and
was once more back in Darlington
1t was something of a shock to the
girl when her aunt made known to
her the aversion she felt toward Irwin
Banks, and her strong desire that she
should not allow the acquaintance to

"But why. aunty?" she urged. "what
