Somewhat Out of Place

The place was crowded. 1t
wasn't exactly a fashionable we'd
ding. but there was no gainsaying
the interest 1t caused, because
both bride and bridegroom had
been much in the public eve. she as
an actress, he as a coniurer.
Everything went well until they
reached the critical stage Of the
proceedings, and the clergyman
asked for the ring.
The bridegroom plunged his
hand into his pocket and brought
out a rabbit Then the Mortified
look in the clergyman's eyes and
startled exclamation from the bride
made him realize that something
was wrong. He looked down and
saw the rabbit

Activity Of Small Use
If Not Wisely Directed

Aeschylus, one of the greatest Of
che Greek poets, tells us that "a
child pursues the flying bird and
the old Greeks who heard him un-
derstood just what he meant. We
have often seen a dog 60 after a
flying bird with all possible
eagerness; and we smiled at his
folly. The dog might be a good
runner, but the bird had no need
to fear his speed. We have seen
a dog chase a railway train and If
the dog could think, no doubt when
the train had passed beyond its
ken 1t would say to itself, 81 chased
away that great monster"
Activity is little use unless it is
wisely directed. A man may spend
a lifetime chasing flying birds, or
attempting to catch something
which he has never the remOtest
chance Of securing. Men have
spent many years trying to dis
cover the secret of perpetual
motion, but the secret still eludes
humanity. Youth is usually busy
at something or other which is per
fectly practicable, but occasionally
we find a wild chase after the i'm
possible. And. even If the child
caught the bird, what would he do
with It? Suppose we get what We
are after, what good will it be to
US? We have seen men catch some
thing which they have been seeking
for months, or even years, and
when they have secured 1t they
were no farther ahead The thing
was not worth the ehfort.-London
Times.

"Oriental" Rugs

Indistinguishable from rugs made
in Persia, oriental floor coverings
have been made In Germany for
more than IS years. Early in the
1S5Os a party of Germans was sent
to Persia TO master the details of
the art. They returned to Cottbus,
near Berlin. and the product of the
hands and looms found their way
principally to America. Only In
1913 was machinery introduced,
when it was found that the work
could be done not only faster but
better than by hand. Most Of those
sent to America are sold as
Smyrna" rugs. They are, how
ever, it is claimed, much finer In
appearance than those really made
In Smyrna.

How He Benefited

Blinkers looked at his doctor
"Yes, DOCTOR" he said, 1.-The strain
OF life to one in my business is
very great" He paused, then:
But I have a great remedy, you
know, and that is cycling"
"Ah, can quite believe you,"
said his doctor "First-rate exer-
else, cycling Takes you out of
yourself Fills your lungs with
fresh air; brushes away the cob
webs Of care, eh?"
well. no, it's not that"
'No?"
1.-THE fact is, when I do go out
I'm so thankful to get home alive
that feel in high spirits the rest
of the day."-St. John Telegraph
Journal.

The Guiding Instinct

AS the traveller who has lost his
way throws his reins on his horses
neck and trusts to the instinct of
the animal to find his road, so must
we do with the divine animal who
carries us through this world. For
If in any manner we can stimulate
this instinct, new passages are
opened for us into nature; the
mind flows into and through things
hardest and highest, and the meta
morphosis is possible.-Ralph Wal
do Emerson.

Relatives

Benny, age eight, had attended
family reunion and was one of
the most interested Of all the
guests. He heard his mother later
telling a friend about the gather
ing "And all our fn-laws' were
there, too" she said.
Next day Benny was assigned to
entertain a caller, president of. the
culture club his mother belonged
to while his mother slipped into
another dress.
Benny drew on ell his powers Of
description in telling her about
the family reunion. "And all our
outlaws were there, too," he said
proudly.

Not What He Meant

There is a good story told about
that well-known Congregational
minister, Doctor Horton. AS a theo-
logical student he objected strongly
to the clerical collar, and in his
college magazine he wrote a strong
article about it, ending with the
words: 81 will wear nothing to dis
tinguish me from my fellow-men."
Unfortunately for Doctor Horton.

comma after the word nothing" |!

"Please Stand BY"

This phrase, so commonly used
by radio broadcasters, signifies BE
ready, in wait for further mes
sages or program, keeping the re
ceiver in operation and tuned to
the same frequency" This use has
probably been adopted from the
nautical term ito stand by" be-
cause the radio at first was en-
ployed largely in connection with
shipping. The sailor is ordered to
stand by the anchor or the main
sheet, in readiness for the next or
der with regard to it.

Ladybird Protects Plants

The ladybird, one of the common
est beetles of the garden, is mans
ally against one of the pests which
are ever ready to attack the tender
new shoots of trees, roots and
plants-the aphids. The ladybirds
are a natural enemy of the aphids,
and will consume great quantities
Of them in the course of a season.
There are varieties of beetles close

shape and size which are leaf eat

Unsatisfactory

In Orange county divorce court
a woman was suing because she
said her husband had received
kisses over the telephone. The
husband, while admitting the
charge, claimed that 1t was no
cause for divorce.
MY goodness, your honorl" he
demonstrated, do you know what
a kiss over the telephone is like"
His honor protested his ig-
norance.
"Well," said the defendant, sits
like dreaming about something to
eat when you go to bed hungry. p

"In the Doldrums"

To say II am in the doldrums"
signifies that one is ''in the Dumps"
or is depressed. 1t was originally
a term of the seas. The word,
"doldrums" refers to the shifting
zone of equatorial calms of vari-
able airs between the trade winds.
The weather Is hot, moist and ex-
tremely dispiriting with heavy and
frequent rainfall usually accom-
panied by thunderstorms. In the
old days, sailing vessels sometimes

However. If it is not. a loan can
probably be negotiated against the
fifth million which has already been
issued and approved by the attorney
general.
Under the option with Eldridge

is exercised between now and April
8. the bonds will bring 98: II between
