When These Few Small Things
Were All He Wanted.

Beauty. Punctuality. Sweet temper.
Economy. Trust,
And that she should be sound asleep
when he came in.
And that he should not be questioned
regarding the hour when he returned
from poker parties.
Nor that she should make any COM
ments regarding the strangeness Of the
fact that it was necessary to have on
ion sandwiches at poker parties.
And that she should spend such eve
nings as he played poker or stayed
downtown or went to stag dinners with
friends Of the feminine sex.
That she should always understand
that his flirtations were too mild for
any uncalled jealousy on her part.
That it was quite different thing
for man to be forgiven than for a
woman.
And that he wouldn't have his wife
make a fool Of him as some wives he
knew made Of their husbands.
With these clear understandings at
the start he knew that she would be
very happy with him, for he would
make her an ideal husband
But he had been little too previ-
GUS.
She saw now why two other wives
had divorced him.
And she saved time-by refusing to

MADE A HIT WITH STUDENTS
cafeteria Work" Was Something
Which Evidently Had the Approval
Of the Entire Body.

A new school for boys in Terre
Haute, Ind, is very modern vocation
al school, with band equipment, big
athletic park and cafeteria. And the
new students were much impressed by
these facilities.
On the first day of school one Of the
new fellows watched a last year stu
dent make out his program, and it
read: "Shop work, wood work, chemi-
cal laboratory work and forge work"
He studied it little while and be-
gan writing. And this is what he
wrote: "Band work, athletic work"
and then he hesitated, studied for a
long time and finished, Cafeteria
work."
Before he could get any farther the
old student, having seen the program,
seized it for exhibit, and it went on
record as the most popular program Of
the school.

Mont St. Michel Abbey Restored.

Mont St. Michel Abbey Restored.
Tourists who visit Mont Saint Michel,
off the coast Of Normandy, will find
the Benedictine abbey which crowns
its summit restored for worship. AS
early as the Eighth century Mont
Saint-Michel, possessed religious as
sociations, but the present buildings
only date from the Thirteenth to the
Sixteenth century. The height Of the
church exceeds the height Of the rock
upon which it stands 165 feet, and
the granite Of which it is built was
brought by boat from the Isles of
Chausey and hoisted up the steep side
Of the hill. Since 1874 the Mont has
been under the care of architects ap-
pointed by the Ministry des Beaux-
Arts, and by their research and res
toration the abbey fortress now ap-
pears in almost it's former grandeur.

changing. Ley, IN England, has d.
rected his studies Of floating balloons
to a solution Of the question Of the
influence Of the topography Of the
earth's surface on the state Of the air
above it. He finds. among other things,
that the disturbances produced by hills
and valleys are transmitted to an un-
expectedly great elevation, affecting
the lower and middle strata through
out. A general effect noticed is that
the velocity Of the wind, or Of a cur
rent of air, is increased over hill
and diminished over valley. It is
thought that similar observations, gen
orally distributed. would furnish us
with real topography of the air.

Electricity and Bullets.

At rifle meeting in Switzerland it
was discovered that the teel-jacketed
bullets of the marksmen were swerved
from their course by the influence Of
telegraph and telephone wires running
alongside the range, says the Washing
ton Star. Experiments were then
made at Thun by placing four steel
cables parallel with the range and
about 40 yards distant from it and
sending a current Of 5000 volts
through them. The effect, it is said,
was to turn the bullets so far from
their course that the deviation
amounted to "a yards on a range Of
26O yards. The bullets on being taken
from the targets were found to be
magnetized. Next, on an artillery
range of 5000 yards, the electro-mag-
retic influence was generated 200
yards in front of the targets and 40
yards to one side. The projectiles
were swerved IA degrees from a
straight line.
