About Selecting Meats.
The most satisfactory way to buy
meats that we know of is to induce
friend husband to come with you to
our butcher shop to assist you in
your selections. As a rule men eat
more meat than women and their
tastes and selections are generally
more reliable. We have all the meats
in season, fresh daily and tender and
appetizing. Try this plan.

Keep Your Tags Intact.
: Warning against cutting or bend-
ing license tags to make them fit the
bracket on the automobile was voiced
last week by Benjamin G. Eynon, reg-
istrar of motor vehicles. Owners
were reminded that the tags must not
be obscured, must be lighted and kept
free from dirt.

F ew [Know Me-ning of
Words in Common Use
It is not considered complimentary
to say of a woman that she is “no
lady,” but how many women are en-
titled to the name In its real sense?
I do not know one, for the true mean-
ing of “lady” is a loaf-kneader—a
noble art that is practically defunct
today.
There are about 2,000,000 spinsters
in Great Britain, but how many of
them can spin? And although every
man is Mr. So-and-so, very few are
entitled to the Mr, in its true mean
ing of master.
My grocer is certainly not an en-
erosser, though he retains the old name
in its abbreviated form; my chemist
knows little or nothing of alchemy.
from which his predecessors got the
name of alchemist.
Costers no longer sell costard apples.
some sailors have never been on a sh'p
with sails, and the bumble “navvy” has
long since ceased to make navigation
canals. The constable Is not the couni
of the stable, the pnblican is not the
tax collector, and the gaffer of a mill
often hehaves in a way very unlike his
name, which is a shortened form of
godfather. Of the thousands of clerks
working today not one is a clergyman
or cleric; the old name has come down
from the time when the only poople
who could write were the cleries.—

Find Many Uses for
Tree Bark in Africa
Tree bark is used in tropical Africa
co make cloth. In days gone by this
material was solely used to provide
what little covering human bodies
needed. In the making of the cloth
the tree ix stripped to a heizht of
about ten feet. ‘This Hark stripping

pest cloth. The inner bark is used
for the cloth, and strips from four to
eight feet in length are beaten will
a mallet to the thickness of heavy
brown paper. It is then sun dried,
when It takes on a terra-cotla shade.
Holes and flaws are patched and the
cloth 1s made up Into shecis about
eight feet square. Strips of fiber from
the dry stem are used as thread apd
the work of stitching is always under-
taken by men. In addition, the bark
is used for door hinges, drinking ves-
sels, grain drums, cradles, beehives,
nets, gime traps, blankets, fishing
lines, rope, cord and thread.
Did Not Like “Aida”
As an example of genuine impudence
a letter written to Giuseppe Verdi
takes the cake. The letter, which is
included in the Verdi collection recent
ly published in Italy, includes one re-
piving to a young man who demanded;
prepayment of the expenses’ he ‘incurred:
in going to see “Alda” when it was
produced in 1872. He abused the
cpera roundly, prophesying that it
would “rot away in the library,” and
asked for a sum covering his train
fare, his seat, and his supper! And
Verdi actually paid it, exacting a
promise, however, that the young man
would never attend another opera of
his. :
Straw Through Board
The energy with which a body
strikes on object determines the plerc-
ing effect and damaging effect of the
body. Energy Is measured by the prod-
uct of the mass of the body and the
square of the velocity. Thus a very
small body moving with & high velocity
can possess just as much kinetic en-
ergy as a large body moving slowly.
The straw driven by a cyclone is hurled
through the air at an enormous veloc.
ity and expends its energy in going
through the wood. This happens 80
quickly that the inertia of the straw
keeps iL from crumpling up before
piercing.
Love of Applause
Human applause Is, by a worldly
man, reckoned not only among the
luxuries of life, but among articles ot
the first necessity. An undue desire
to obtain it has certainly its founda-
tion in vanity, and it is one of our
grand errors to reckon vanity a trivisl
fault . . . Reputation being in it-
self so very desirable or good, those
who actually possess it, and In some
sense deserve to possess it, are apt
to make it their standard, and to
rest In it as their supreme aim and
end.—Hannah More.
Autoists Catch Ostriches
Catching ostriches by automobile is
being tried in the Arabian desert, fol-
lowing the bagging of two birds in a
day by a party recently. At first the
birds outdistanced the cars, but they
goon tired, and as the auto approached
alongside, a hunter stepped on the
running board, grasped one bird by the
peck and pulled it into the car. It
was too exhausted to struggle. The
companion ostrich was captured in the
same manner, and four others were
shot.
Chew Well and See Well
Sir Arthur Keith, the great British
anatomist, says you must chew well if
you would see well. He claims that
decreased exercise of the jaws, and
not eye-strain, is causing short sight.
Jecguse of the soft foods of modern
diet, he says, use of the jaws has
diminished, the skape of the face ie
changing and the eye sockets are
lengthening. thus elongating the eye-
balls and weakening vision.—Path-
finder Magazine.
