New Orleans women have organ
lied to abolish the "lagniappe" prac-
tice that has prevailed in the Louisi-
ana metropolis since the time of the
Spanish domination. With every pur-
chase, particularly in drug stores and
grocery stores, long-established GUS
tom has required the dealer to give
away half dozen candies or a piece
of gum, even though the customers
bought only five cents worth of mer-
chandise. This practice, originally
an expression of good nature on the
part of the dealer, is now systematic
extortion on the part of the CUSTOM
ers.

Test Your Tea.

A remarkably simple method of
testing the purity of tea for coloring
matter is to use an ordinary table
knife and a sheet of white paper, upon
which small quantity of the tea to
be tested is placed. The tea is then
rubbed in with the knife. When the
leaves have been reduced to a pow
der the paper is busted clean with a
brush made Of common bristles and
its surface examined with the naked
eye or a microscope. If the tea is
artifcially colored little spots or
Btreaks of vivid Prussian blue will
appear in the fiber of the paper.
These stains are so distinct in their
coloring that they cannot possibly be
confused with any other stain that
may be in the paper.

Brains VIII Succeed.

And the fellow with brains, and
with energy to direct them, is pretty
likely to succeed, no matter what's
pulling him down. If you're not sue
ceeding, have a heart to heart talk
with yourself. Maybe you haven't
so many brains as you have been Civ
ing yourself credit for, or maybe you
don't know how to use them to get
results Have a 10-minute talk with
yourself every night, and do it in
the coldest blooded way you possibly
can. Every little failure of the day
should be analyzed-every opportuni-
ty you have let pass you uncaught
should be used as a club on your
brain. Then avoid those errors to-
morrow.-Leslie's Weekly.

r All Pardoned,

Gipsy Smith, the famous evangelist,
tells this story: Jack had been con-
verted at revival meeting, and upon
meeting an old friend later, was asked
if it were true. "Oh, yes" said Jack.
st am really going to live a new life. "
"Well," said his friend, "I suppose
you will begin by settling up all your
old debts; for instance, presume you
will now pay me the sovereign you
have owed me so long" "Oh, no" re-
piled Jack. THAT is one of my old
transgressions and the Lord has par.
doned them all"

a rather young, Episcopal minister
had been appointed to<a certain west
ern locality as he was considered by
his bishop to be sufficiently able to
successfully establish a church. even
in that rather sparsely settled COM
munity Later, in talking to a friend
the clergyman remarked: Il was
obliged to go from one house to an
other and borrow from each the diff

sympathizing friend suggested that he
should call the church st Charles the

characteristic way and quickly re-
sponded: mo. San Carlo Borromeo

carthaue Had Paved streeta.

The Carthaginians are said to have
been the first who paved their towns.
The Romans, in the time Of Augustus,
had pavements in many Of their
streets. The Appian Way, a paved
road, was constructed in 312 B. G.
The streets of ancient Pompeii were
paved with great blocks of lava. Deep
ruts can be seen in them today which
were worn by the heavy chariots of
the people of the destroyed city. Her
culaneum also was paved with these
lava blocks. Roads built of heavy
flags of freestone, of unknown age,
exist in Peru, 1000 miles in extent.
In Mexico among the ruins of Pal
enque, are found pavements of large
square blocks of stone.

To Restore Old Wayside Inns.

Restoration to things as they were
long ago is planned by the Ohio Good
Roads federation. The organization
figures on bringing back the old way
side inn with it's CRATE fire at many
points along the main roads between
Ohio cities. Hostelries that were
practically abandoned are to be re-
stored and made fit for occupancy.
In addition, the old milestones are to
be put into shape again and guide the
traveller this time in high-powered
motor car and not in a stagecoach or
on horseback, to his destination

Keen Tennis Balls Dry.

Tennis balls can be preserved in
usable shape for an indefinite length
of time if they are kept absolutely
dry. They lose their resiliency and
become dead" before they are worn
out, because dampness decomposes
the rubber. An air-tight box contain
ing a substance that viii absorb mois-
ture and prevent decomposition has
recently been patented, as well as a
similar air-tight case for protecting
tennis rackets from moisture.-Pop-

To Number Football RIavsrs

We are so used to having the handy

In fitting a new Garburetor be sure

TROLLEY LEAGUE STANDING UNCHANGED

With the Palace Five taking three
straight games from Baltic and the
Willimantic five handing out the same
kind of a trimming to TaftVille on
Wednesday evening, the standing in
the Trolley league remains unchanged
The Willimantic team on their home
alleys did phenomenal rolling and
when the scores were tailed up at the
end of the third string the Whitman
tic bowlers had totaled 1869 pins while
Taftville, with every man hitting over
800, got 1868. Pickett OF the Tufts five
hit the maple for $50 for three string
total and Isl for high single. The last
string of the match was anyone's
game until the last ball was thrown,
which netted Willinantic just one
more pin than the TaftviIle five. The
score of the last string was 592 TO sci,
The game between the Palace Five
and the Baltic team was more normal
although the three strings were a good
deal closer than those rolled between
the other two teams in the league. Ali
three games were good games to
watch, but no exceptionally high
scores resulted. Love of the Baltic
team took the honors for this match,
capturing high single with 1871 and
high total with S54.
