Practical Thrift.

AN EMINENT WRITER on the
practical every day affairs Of life
says: mo man. has reason to say he
cannot. be thrifty, cannot protect him
self. and those who must look to him
for protection. . It IS my humble opin-
ion that the life insurance companies
have contributed more sound sense to
the system Of saving and the plan Of
procuring protection than all the banks
east and west Of the banks of the Mis-
sissippi. :. Thrift, as taught by the in
surance companies, preserves. a fine
outstanding independence in American
:. E l.,
+ The Mutual Benefit Life Insurance
Company, of Newark, N. ~, has been
the. Ieadef. .iii promoting and teaching
thrift in the United States since 1845,
and the man. woman who fails to in
vestigate its standing record for; square
dealing and policy contracts, will make
a serious mistake, and .Sone that will
cause regret later. 8: !. :, !

NEW TIMEKEEPER CLOCK

Boiling eggs, developing photographs, or any other operation that requires short but accurate account of time, may be allowed to proceed without at tention through the use of a novel clock, described in Popular Mechanics. The four-inch dial is at the top, and in the lower part of the case is a vertical scale, reading up to 90 min. utes in one-minute divisions, and car rying a small slide that is set by hand. At the end of the period set, four inch gong on the back rings until it is shut off. Though valuable addi- tion to the home kitchen, the new time. keeping clock is intended especially as labor-saving accessory for hotel and restaurant kitchens, photo galleries, laboratories and other places where the measurement of minutes is needed.

MoSLEMs IGNORE MOURNING

No mourning is worn Sy the ortho- dox Turks of the Moslem religion, nor are periods of seclusion observed by the Osmanli tribes or by most other Moslems after the death of a rela- tive. Women friends pay visits of coincidence to the harem, but the in mates--after thanking their guests for their formal expression of sympathy and good wishes for their future ex- emption from bereavement, speak calmly and resignedly of the departed.
 If child has died the mother and her relatives even rejoice before their friends. For according to Moslem tenets it is considered sinful to show expressive sorrow over the death of a child. To do so Is also thought det- rimental to the repose of the child's soul and his happiness in paradise.

FRENCH LIKE CIVIL WEDDINGS

A French marriage is a thorough going affair. It is real partnership.
 To begin with, the ceremony is usu- ally civil one. Comparatively few weddings take place in church. There are no vows as to mutual toieration for better or for worse. But the French husband and wife marry to take up each others burdens, and then carry them together until the end of the journey.
 This can be traced to several cases. One Is that young people are linked together in France with view to their practical well-being as well as to their sympathies. A girl who is an artist does not marry bootmaker. And a shopkeeper rarely thinks of joining his fortune to any but a shop keepers daughter or a business girl.
 The classes do not intermingle in marriage, not because of snobbishness. but because it is not practical.-From the Continental Edition of the London Mail.

SLEEPY SICKNESS


 Sleepy sickness is quite different disease from the somewhat similarly named, but far more deadly, sleeping sickness, which is a tropical disease. Sleepy sickness was first noticed in England in 1918. There is little doubt that the cause of this mysterious com plaint is microbe. The microbes con- centrate their attack on the brain, causing lethargy and facial paralysis, the patient lying for days in bed with motionless head and expressionless face, like mask, reminding one of the efiigy on tomb. Doctors are not yet definitely agreed as to whether the hic- cough epidemic and the sleepy sickness are different diseases. or whether the one is merely symptom of the other. Probably the latter view is the correct one, seeing that violent and prolonged hiccoughs were noticed in connection with the outbreak of sleepy sickness that ravaged Vienna in the early part of last year.

SURPRISING THE EMPRESS

An amusing story is told by Angus tin Filon in his "reminiscences of the Empress Eugenie.
 One day, when she was lyS,g in a hammock, an over-zealous aide-de- camp Git was not his first blunder) noticed an old Japanese parasol which was lying long forgotten at the foot of tree, and which had become, by the accumulation of years, the recep- tacIe of varied collection of living and dead insects.
 Advancing with the movements of a slave of the harem flaming a sul- tana, the officer opened the parasol, and a perfect deluge of grubs and caterpillars rained upon the empress, who uttered shriek of terror and sprang out of tha(DAammock like lightning.

FRENCH CHILDREN MAKE TOYS

One of the most interesting toy manufactures of France is not fac tory at all, but a communal school in Paris, directed by an amateur design CT, who during the war interested the children in the making of toys after his own designs, which were so orig inal that there was an immediate de- mand for them. Furthermore, the children who were making the toys became so much interested in the work that large sum was realized, part of which was turned into the treasury of the institution, but a part was spent in giving the work CTS some diversion. The business is to be continued on larger scale than ever before.

DOGS vACCINATED NOW.

Professor Marie Remlinger of the Pasteur institute, Paris, who is hay ing wonderful success with the new service developed by Professor Balle of the government veterinary school at Alfort, promises absolute immunity for dogs from rabies. This new vac cine is mixture of the old Pasteur serum for rabies and of the virus of the disease. It acts quickly, is easily applied, is inoffensive, and costs little. It is curative as well as preventative. Eighteen dogs vaccinated with the new serum two months ago have been rem dered absolutely immune.

SWAPPING MOVIE PICTURE

Usually 10000 to 100000 feet are run through the cameras to get six reel, or 6.000-fOot motion picture. The director stations three, four or five cameras to take the. same scene. He has one camera close beside the strug- gling villain and hero, another grind ing from an elevation, still another at this angle. one more at that angle. When all of these negatives are de- veloped, parts of each enter into the composition of the completed reel.

 Billy Adams, the barber, who has a ranch, was out taking a squint at the latter the other day when big hawk swooped down and gathered up a chicken. Billy grabbed shotgun and let fly, killing the hawk, but not harm ing the chicken, which ran away with out thanking him. Billy says he hates to tell this, fearing no one will believe him. Having no such worries on that score, we tell it for him.
 Sergeant J. c. Macklin, regular army instructor of Battery "A," bought himself a nice $58 rife and went deer hunting. Got within a hundred feet of a big buck before he had been out more than an hour. Stopped and looked at the buck, then threw a stone at it, soaring it off. "Got to be careful hunting deer with these high-powered guns not to kill any of these ranchers' bulls," the ser geant remarked piously, as he mean dered on looking for deer.
 J. c. Brown, newsstander, down hunting quail with Arthur Foster last week, thus describes the experience he had in a touching little poem he has sent to Whiz Bang, the well-known theological magazine from which Doug Roome, Frank Hanley, Fred Lusk and Charlie Heisser get most of their Sunday morning texts:

Through town and countryside you were my joy and pride, a happy day. loved thy gaudy hue, the nice white tires new; but you're down and out for true, in every way. To thee, old rattle-box, came many bumps and knocks; for thee I grieve. Badly thy top is torn; frayed are thy seats and worn; the whooping cough affects thy horn, 1 do believe. Thy perfume smells the breeze, while good folks choke and wheeze, as we pass by. I paid for thee price, 'twould buy a mansion twice; now everybody's yell ing 'ice"--I wonder why. Thy motor has the grip, thy spark-plug has the pip, and woe is thine. I, too, have suffered chills, fatigue and kindred ills, endeavoring to pay my bills, since thou vert mine. Gone is my bank roll now, no more 'twould choke a COW, as once before. Yet, if I had the mon, so help me, John-amen, I'd buy car again and speed some more.

 Mary had little lamb Killed out of the pasture;
 What Mary said will rhyme with jam, When she paid the cashier. A. F. Grimmell, cashier of the First National bank, who composed the above ballad, says he realizes pasture and cashier don't rhyme very well. Thinks pastor might rhyme better, but wouldn't be so authentic, because Mary would hardly have talked that way to the pastor, would she? Speaking of the influence of the movies, about which some of our club women read papers at the recent meeting here of the N. A. federated clubs, they all overlooked the most important point-the convenience the movies are to the married man who wants to get away to poker game. Formerly he couldn't. Now all he has to do is to take his wife to the movies and lose her in the dark. Davy Joy says it's easy to make 8 living in China. You see, he explains, when wealthy Chinaman is condemn ed to death he can hire another to die for him. Davy says he s'poses a good many poor fellows get their living hathaway.
