An Arab drinks cold water with
spoon and never bathes in it unless
his home is on the seashore.
An Arab eats sparingly as rule,
but when he gives or attends ban
quet he stuffs himself to his utmost
capacity.
The Arab will not eat with a wo-
mon. His wife must serve him first
and wait until he has had all he
wishes before she may eat what she
has cooked.
CHINESE PROVERBS
Hurried men lack wisdom.
Regard righteousness as gain.
Man proposes, heaven dlsposes.
Cd not be afraid of going slowly,
but Of standing still.
Wealth is as dross. Righteousness
is worth untold gold.
If YOU do not scale the mountain
you cannot view the plain.

In Scandinavian mythology a taste

DOG RECOGNIZED ITS HOME
Even at Sea, and at Some Distance, Animal Knew Destroyer to
 Which 1t Belonged.

Except for the serial numbers painted boldly on the bow, most per sons have the greatest difficulty in recognizing one of the 300 destroyers In the United States navy from anoth- CT, but there Is dog aboard the de- stroyer Schenck No 159 which seems In this regard to have far more than human intelligence.
 This dog-of no particular breed has been aboard the Schenck for about two years.
 Officers aboard the Schenck are tell In the story of how, not long ago, when the vessel went from Pensacola to Guantanamo, the dog was lost. He could not be found when the time for departure arrived, although the crew had been searching the town for him for almost two hours.
 It developed that the dog, after the Schenck departed, reached another de- stroyer and went to sea with them.
 During the voyage the two destroy FITS passed we'll out to sea. The dog was on the bridge and parked so loud iy that he attracted the attention of the Schenek.

ZIG CITY HAS MANY PHONES
Considerably Over Four Million Calls Are Made in New York on
 Every Working Day

A million is a casual sum in New York, whether a million dollars, a million persons, or what. Before the end of this year there will be B million telephones in the city.
 In IS months the telephone com pany has installed 154 ,O00 new phones and a half a million miles of wire in the city, more instru- ments than there are in Detroit and more wire than the Cleveland sys- tenn uses, and still 1t is many thou sands behind the demand. Six hundred and twenty new switch board-operating positions have been put into service, as much switch board space as Pittsburgh uses There are 101 central offices and the company is kept almost as busy thinking up new names for its ex- changes as the Pullman company is for its cars.
 The city's telephone system has almost doubled in eight years, al- though the greatest growth has been since January l, 1920. Then 315 million calls were being made each day. The number is 1 ,225,000 now. F million of them between the hours of 10 and II a. m alone, the peak load.

ming, and my bringing home the body of Nero knocked a hole in their pro- gram. They asked me about the price of the coffin and when 1 replied that for about hundred dollars they could get one to fit Nero. they almost came te blows over 1t. It was their unani- nous idea that about thirty dollars was all they ought to pay. They argued they were not to blame for Nero's death, and, that if he was idiot enough to take chances, any old way of getting him into the ground was good enough
 "What family," said Mrs. Bowser.
 "Yes, I didn't know there were any such people in this world. Poor Nero's body was waiting outside, and they were fighting about his burial. When they were not jawing' each other, they were threatening me with a suit for damages
 But will there be any suit?"
 ''No, I think not. We effected a compromise about that.
 
 "Well, I lent the father S25 and he will probably never pay it. Nero had overdrawn his wages about $10 but I didn't say thing about that. I handed over the $25 and got out, but the father and the brother may come here this evening to borrow S25 more, and I think had better go to bed, and you can say to them, If they come, that I have gone out of town to attend very important meeting. You can come to bed when you like"
 The father and brother came but they did not see Mir. Bowser He had gone to bed with tears in his eyes, and Mrs. Bowser found them rolling down his cheeks as he slept. Poor Nero-poor Mir. Bowser!

Ing dead. Such is the fate of many office boys!'
 "Well, you got there?" said Mrs. Bowser, after giving Mir. Bowser time to wipe his weeping eyes again.
 "Yes, at last got there, and l found the family eating a late lunch. l had some sorrowful news for them, Mrs. Bowser, and I hardly knew how to communicate it. When they saw the tears in my eyes, and my chin trem- bling, they at once jumped to the con clusion that Nero had robbed me of ten thousand dollars worth of Liberty bonds and gone off to Palm Beach for a vacation. They seemed greatly re- lieyed when I told them to the con trary. The only thing that had hap pened to the boy was his death. They did not take the news so kindly as l hoped they would. In fact, they blamed me good deal for it. Even when l stood before them with tears in my eyes, they stuck to 1t that I ought to have pulled him back out of the win dow by the hair of his head. They talked of suing me for fifty thousand dollars damages"
 "Why, they must be a hard-hearted family" exclaimed Mrs. Bowser.
 .'Yes. I should judge they were. They had dispute as to who should pay the undertaken, and they had an other as to which cemetery he should be buried in. What seemed to them to be the worst thing about it, was the fact that they were all going to Coney Island or some other place that eve

Peanuts Nativity in Dispute.

Some important economic botanists believe that the weight of authority is in favor of accepting the peanut as native of Brazil, and thus adding the peanut to the four other plants of high commercial importance which America has contributed to the agri- culture of the world-cotton, corn, to- bacco and the potato. Before the Civil war the United States imported peanuts from West Africa, and today, notwithstanding the remarkable in- crease in the production of American peanuts, they are imported from Spain, Africa, China and Japan.
