Writers have long vied in their eff forts to describe properly the tooth someness, as well as the downright stupidity, of the ordinary domestic hen.

 A Bureau of Standards in Money.
 "In the office of the American mili- tary attache in Peking, there is an American five-dollar gold piece, which has been priced more often than a hold-over pair of 1912 shoes. The of ficers were being pad the days rate, which was then about $1.10 Chinese money for an American dollar. But actual gold was worth 50 per cent more The officer rightly insisted that his men were being paid in debased currency and insisted on receiving balance to bring the salaries up to the rate. for actual gold. Hence this solitary gold piece was taken around to the exchange shops every month and its value ascertained, but if it had been sold it would have upset the financial system, for the Chinese. ready enough to offer a price for q specific coin, refuse to quote prices on theoretical ones.
 "It is no wonder that there is con fusion in Chinese exchange with for eign currency, for there is varying exchange rate among the IS provinces themselves, and the Yuan Shih Kai silver dollar is the only currency on which there is no exchange when crossing provincial boundary. But that doesn't mean that it has fixed value even then, for the value of a dollar in small currency is constantly changing.
 A silver dollar when exchanged at foreign store, contains 100 cents Thus if one makes a 20-cent purchase at a Shanghai department store. he gets 80 cents change. which seems fair enough until one discovers that at an exchange shop one can get II dimes and 3 cents for each dollar.

 "They still loved the Nature children and the Nature children still loved them and understood how things were.
 "Well, when the springtime came along one year, after so many cities had grown bigger and bigger and so many people had gone to live in the cities, the Nature children called me and said:
 "'Dear Mother Nature, we have something to ask you
 "'What have you to ask me?' said and then they told me.
 "Mother Nature they said, the Dream King has told us that many, many people from the cities would be out in the country places for holidays and for week-ends this spring.
 "'So we have thought up a plan. You see, the Dream King tells us that every once in while the people get very tired from all the business they must do and all the studying they must do, too.
 "'They get tired of the same old talk of business and of studying. They get tired of talking of how much rent they must pay and where they can pos sibly find room to store away some jam and preserves from the country which has been sent to them.
 "'They get tired of all their worries which they have The Dream King says they have lots of fun, too, and that city life is very pleasant but that every once in a while they long for the country and the flowers and the smell of the nice old earth and of the bios sons.
 "'So we've decided we would look our very best all the time. so that when the people from the cities come out to see us they may pick some of us and take us home with them so we'll cheer them up.'
 q told them thought their idea was wonderful. And ever since then the flowers have all looked their best and the shrubs have all looked their best and the ferns have all looked their best, so they could cheer up the city people when they were taken back after holidays.
 "The Sun, too. has worn handsome suits for the people to admire. He can't be taken back with them, but he can show them his beautiful golden edged suit and his suit of many col0rs. for he says they've hardly time to look at him in the cities very often.
 And the birds have sung their pret- tiest songs to give the city people real country holidays.
 "But the flowers which have travelled to the cities have done great. great deal to add to the holidays of the city people, and have stayed fresh and bright in the city apartments for just as long as they could.
 "SO when any of you are picked and carried to the cities, keep your pret- tiest and freshest smiles on your faces.''
 And they all promised Mother Ma tune they would.

It was Mary's birthday, and her young man had teasingly told her that he was going to give her a rose for each year of her age. Fearfully Mary waited for his flowers to arrive. She wondered whether he really knew how old she was. But when a basket containing four dozen arrived she breathed a sigh of relief.
 That night she thanked him for them. Just as she ended it her little brother came into the room. He went over to the flowers and was studying them fixedly when the young man asked: Do you think your sisters flowers are pretty?"
 "Yes, sir, I do," little brother an- swered, but what made you send twenty too many"
