No camera has probably been devel-

The ordinary cameras are of little use

Is to do what he can to quench the
public thirst Cor odd scraps Of miscel-

There Is one stock question In par
ticular which hobs up ever and anon.
What are the seven wonders OF the
world? For purposes Of reference, the
number Of wonders always has been,
is now and ever shall be, apparently
exactly seven. The almanacs never
show ten or a dozen. The problem of
selection Is staggering 10 these days

they are:

In about half an hour an Old gentle
man. with Il flowing beard ana me
but rather austere face, entered ana
sat down Mt my invitation. He seemed
to have something on his mind. He
took off his hat and set 1t on the moor,
and got out a red silk handkerchief
and copy of our paper.
He put the paper on his lap ana
while he polished his spectacles with
his handkerchief, he said, Are you
the editor?'
| said | was.
"Have you ever edited an agricul-
tural paper before?'
mo-" said, this is my first at
tempt"
VERY likely. Have you had any ex-
perience in agriculture, practically"
mo: believe l have not"
"Some instinct told me-" said the
old gentleman, putting on his specta-
cles and looking over them at me with
asperity. while he folded his paper
into q convenient shape. 81 wish to
read you what must have made me
have that instinct. 1t was this edi-
torial. Listen. and see If 1t was you
who wrote it:
""TurnipS should never be pulled;
1T Injuries them. 1t Is much better to
send boy up and let him shake the
tree
snow, what do you think of that?-
for I really suppose you wrote It,"
"Think of it, Why, | think 1t Is
good. have no doubt that every year
millions aud millions of bushels OF
turnips are spoiled In this township
alone by being pulled In a half-ripe
condition. when If they had sent
boy up to shake the tree"
"Shake your grandmother! Turnips
don't grow on trees!"
ooh, they don't, don't they? Well.
who said they did? The language
was intended to be fgurative, wholly
ngurative. Anybody that knows any
thing will know that / meant that
the boy should shake the vine"
Then this old person got up and tore
his paper all into small shreds, and
stamped on them, and broke several
things with his cane, and said I did
not know as much as a cow; and then
went ont aud hanged the door after
lin, and, in short, acted In such way
that fanc:ed he was displeased about
something. Eut not knowing what the
trouble was ! could not be any help to

spike projecting downward from Its

Is tipped with enamel. When 1t swal-
