She Got a New Pair.
Sarcasticus and his wife were going
to the theater.
“Will you please go in and get my
goats off the dressing table?’ said
Mrs. S.
“Your goats?” queried the puzzled
Barcasticus. “What fangle have you
women got now ?” :
“I'll show you!” snapped the wife,
and she sailed away and soon return-
ed, putting on her gloves.
“Are those what you mean? Why, I}
call those kids.”
“I used to.” replied Mrs. Sarcasticus,
“but they are getting so old I am
ashamed to any longer.”
He took the hint.—Pearson’s Weekly.
Comparative.
“Is there any truth to the assertion
made by scientists.” asked a young
man recently. “that when a man and
& woman have lived together for some
time their facial characteristics assume
a similarity?”
The man to whom the question was
put was supposed to be a scientist. but
he chose to regard the question in a
humorous tight.
“There most certainly is.” he replied.
“l know a man who married a widow,
and she was constantly reminding him
of her first hushand.” —~New York Trib-

Color Changes of the Hair.
Accounting for color changes of the
hair, it is explained that this change
is not due to a destruction of pigment
present in the hair or to a bleaching of
hairs already formed, but that pig-
mented hairs fall out and are replaced
by unpigm=nted or white ones. Com-
pletely pirmented hairs never turn
gray. they fall out. It has also been
observed that the process of pigment
formition may cease during the de-
velopnieiit of a hair. In such case the
tip of the hair wil remain pigmented
though the base appears white.—In-
Height and Weight at Birth.
Boys average a little heavier than
girls, being seven and one-half pounds
and girls seven and one-sixth pounds.
In height or length the average for
boys is 20.6 inches and girls 20.5 inches.
During the first year of life a child
grows more rapidly than at any other
period. averaging a trifie over eight
inches.
Wanted Him Solemn.
“Mamma,” exclaimed little Elsie, *1
know something awful about our min-
ister!”
“Why, what is it, dear?” asked her
mother in surprise.
“Why,” continued Elsie, “he was
talking to a man on the street today,
and I heard him laugh right out loud.”
—Chicago News.
' Vengeance.
No doubt you have heard a woman
tell of the horrible things she would do
if a man should strike her. We have
often wondered what terrible things
a woman would do under such circum-
stances and today insisted upon an
angry woman telling. After thinking
awhile she said, “I'd hate him all the
rest of my life.”—New York Sun.

A Finisher.
“I thought you told me that Jones
was a piano finisher,” said the Old
Fogy. “Why, I saw him driving a
moving van today.”
“Well?” interrogated the grouch.—
Cincinnati Enquirer.
Queered.
“I don’t seem to be invited to Mrs.
Wombat’s house parties any more.”
“Wonder why?”
“I suspect some of her servants have
reported me for unsatisfactory tip-
ping.”—Kansas City Journal.
So He Keeps His Seat.
“Would you give up your seat to an
elderly woman?”
“And have her know that 1 regarded
her as elderly? Not much! 1 like to
be gallant, but caution is my strong
point.”—Philadelphia Ledger.
Careless.
Visitor — So that’s Miss Overton.
Don’t you think she carries her age
remarkably well? Artist—No, I don’t.
She has dropped several years of it
to my personal knowledge.—Illustrated
Bita.
Amiable,
“They say Thelma’s husband is a
very amiable man.”
“Amiable! I should say so! I have
known that man to laugh at a joke
when he was taking down the stove-
pipe.”—Baltimore American.
Extremely So.
“But why did you eat the cake she
baked?”
“I wanted to make myself solid.”
“Did you succeed?’
“I should say so. I felt like a ton of
lead.”—Cleveland Leader.

When the Witness Scored.
Judge—*“What is your occupation,
my man?” Prisoner—“I am a bus
driver, my lord.” Judge—“You mean
you are the driver of horses attached
thereto?” Prisoner—“Yes, sir.” Judge
—*You are charged with hitting this
man on the face. Did you do it?” Pris-
oner—*“Certainly not!” Judge—*“What
did you do, then?’ Prisoner—“I hit
him on the nasal organ attached there,

Modern Education. :
A prominent school principal lately]
told us some of the answers found in.
pupils’ examination papers. Here are
two of them: “What is a volcano?”
“A volcano is a mountain that some-
times blows the equator off.” “What
is the difference between a mountain
and a hill?” “A hill is like a moun-
tain, only a mountain is a little more
hillier.”
On the Safe Side.
Seed Merchant (giving information)’
—*I should say a foot between the
radish and onion rows will be quite
sufficient.” Prospective Amateur Gar-
dener—“Think so? I think I'll be on
the safe side and allow three or four
feet. I don't want the radishes to
have a beastly onion flavor.”—New

In Graftville.
Jim Brown lives in a community
noted for the corruption of its poli-
tics. He drove into town the other
day with an old horse. “Hello,” said
his friend Bill. “That horse of yours
looks almost old enough to vote.”
“Ye-as,” drawled Jim. “He has voted
two or three times.” — Everybody's
Magazine.
Conscientious Student,
“You admit that you are not smart
enough to tell railroad people how to
run theif business!” “Without hesita-
tion.” “But I thought you had made
a study of railroad problems?” “I
have. But I haven't yet gotten far
enough along to thoroughly under-
stand even their time tables.”
Chinese Maze of Canals.
The canal system in China is the
most extensive in the world, with the
exception of Holland. Wherever the
lay of the land permits the Chinese
have made a canzl. Thus they are en-
abled to carry the products of their
labor to market at a minimum ex-
pense.

Windmill of Great Power.
A windmill, which is said to be
the largest of its kind in the world,
has lately been brought into use at
Harlingen, Friesland, for draining a
tract of lowland redeemed from the
sea by high embankments, with an
area of 1,850 acres.
Why Contractor Wears Derby Hat.
A New York contractor always
wears a derby in tunnel work, be-
cause it acts as a bumper and protects
his head in crowded quarters. A soft
hat is little protection when one’s
head strikes against the timbering of
a tunnel.—Engineering Record.
Irish Version.
“Sure the Caseys are thot stuck up
since they came into their money thot
they won’t look at us now at all, at
all.” “Well, Norah, ye must raymim-
ber the ould saying, ‘Sarcumstances
alters Caseys.’” — Boston Evening
Transcript.
Why She Didn't Faint.
“I suppose she fainted when her
arm was broken?” “No, indeed; she
scarcely noticed it.” “Scarcely no-
ticed it?” “No. You see she was
wearing tight shoes at the time and
they kept her mind fully occupied.”
Had Made Something.
“Did yiz iver make iny money back-
in’ harses, Mulligan?” “Sure, Oi made
a hundred dollars wance.” “How did
yez do ut?” “Oi backed him down cel-
lar awn thin sued th’ mon for lavin’

He (at 12:30 a. m.)—“Has your father
any objection to my paying you visits,
Miss Ethel?” She—“Oh, no, but
(yawning) I think he'd rather you paid
them in installments.”—Boston Eve-
ning Transcript.
A Prolonged Effort.
“She says she writes her husband a
few words every day.” “I never see
her mail any cards or letters to him.”
“She’s working on one of those letters
it takes a long time to finish.”
Pass On.
“lI am still looking for an honest
man,” announced Diogenes. “I can
give you no help,” declared the
stranger. “Who are you?” “I'm an
income-tax collector.”

How Coal Is Wasted.
A locomotive equipped with a three
inch pop safety valve on boiler with '
200 pounds steam pressure will waste |
146.7 pounds of steam and about twen- |
ty pounds of coal every minute during
which it is blowing off. This means |
that from 7,000 to 20.000 pounds of
voal are often wasted each month by |
# single locomotive.—New York Post.

Paying Freight on Tons of Water. |
Because of the improper drying of
corn a vast amount of money is wasted
in the payment of freight. The Scien- '
tific American estimates that 436,682 |
tons of water are shipped with corn |
every year. This would fill 14,556
freight cars of 60.000 pounds capacity, |
making a train more than 110 miles |
long. |

“He’s my husband,” she snapped,
with the tone of full proprietorship.—

Hood’s Sarsaparilla.
Get Rid of Humors
And Avoid Sickness
HOOD’S SARSAPARILLA, OLD-TIME REME-
DY, PURIFIES THE BLOOD.
Humors in the blood cause internal de-
rangements that affect the whole system,
as well as pimples, boils and other erup-
tions. They may be either inherited or
acquired. They affect all the organs and
functions, membranes and tissues, and
are directly responsible for the readiness
with which some people contract disease.
For forty years Hood's Sarsaparilla has
been more successful than any other med-
icine in expelling humors and removing
their inward and outward effects. It is
distinguished for its thoroughnessin puri-
fying the blood, which it enriches and in-
vigorates. No other medicine acts like
it, for no other has the same fermula or
ingredients. Get Hood’s Sarsaparilla to-
day. Insist on having Hood's. 48-49
