An overzealous Scotch host was one
night trying to thrust just one more
cup on his would-be departing guest.
"Just anither wee drap afore ye go,"
he said. "Na, na, I'll tnk nae mair. I'm
in a new lodgin', and I'm no vera weel
acquainted w' the stair."
How to Detect Liars.
The thumb, according to profession
al palmists, is an unerring index of
the mind. If a person is trying to de
ceive you, he will invariably draw his
thumb in towards the palm. On the
other hand, if he is telling the truth,
the thumb will be relaxed and point
away from the palm.
Color in Sick Room.
Have you tired of taking fruit,
candy and flowers to a bedfast pa
tient? Then take her an attractive
box of handkerchiefs having a touch
of color, a colored hem, a colored in
itial or a colored flower embroidered
on it. The color will enable the pa
tient to quickly distinguish them from
the bed clothes.

Suspicious Woman.
Mr. Scrappington (in the miu ; of
his reading) —"Ilere is an item about
a blasted fool who kissed his wife
2.500 times in one day." Mrs. Scrap
pington —"Of course he was a fool, to
think he could deceive his wife that
way! What dons the article say he
had been doing?"— Judge.
Changing Color of Flowers.
It has been found that many pink
flowers may be turned blue by expos
ing th«'m to the fumes of ammonia for
a few minutes, and blue flowers be
come pink when exposed to acids.
First Dental School.
The year 1840 saw the foundation of
the Baltimore College of Dental Sur
gery, the first of all institutional den
tists, while three years earlier had been
formed in New York the American So
ciety of Dental Surgeons, a national o&
ganization, the first work of which wa#
to bring about a legislative enactment
prohibiting teeth extraction by barbers
and other unqualified persons.
Meaning of "How."
Most white people think that the
Indian word of greeting, "'How," is
merely the abbreviation of the ques
tion, "How are you?" but that is not
so. The word is really "aou," which
means "brother" or "friend." So when
he comes up and growls out his seem
ingly inquisitive "How," he is not ask
ing after your health, but telling you
that he is a friend. —Youth's Compan
ion.
Why Teachers Enjoy Life.
Felix Novakowski was absent one
morning, and when he came in after
dinner he brought his teacher this ex
cuse. "Plees teecher exkus Felix
Novakowski he got lat vwen ve stud
up de klock she stant stil unt blige
his mother."
Sage Advice.
Save the todays and the tomorrows
\viH-take care of themselves. —Boston
Transcript.
Should Be Hardened. 4
Sappleigh—"lt's ah awful thing to
realize that you've made an egregious
ass of yourself." Miss Keen—"Haven't
you got us'ed to it yet?"
Glory in Success.
The more powerful "an obstacle the
more glory we have in overcoming it.
—Moliere.
Handicapped.
"Ernest, were you looking through
the keyhole last night at your sister
and me?" "Honest, I wasn't. Mother
was in the way."
Vibrations Make Sound.
Anything stretched is likely to be
thrown into vibration, or made to
tremble, by the force of the air blow
ing against it. If it vibrates so fast
as to produce the air waves that our
ear can hear, then that is what we
call sound. This is what happens to
the telegraph wires when they hum;
and if we put our hand on the tele
graph pole we shall feel that the wires
vibrate strongly enough to set the
whole pole to trembling, too. When
the air is quite still you will not hear
the telegraph lines humming.
Natural Deduction.
"Father, are goats intelligent?" "I
don't know, my child. What makes
you ask that?" "Well, you told me
that people that use their heads are
intelligent, and goats use their heads
an awful lot."
Liquor From Palm Trees.
More than 90 per cent of the alcohol
and alcoholic drinks that are made in
the Philippines are derived from the
sap of palm trees.
Permanent Embassies.
It was not until the close of the fif
teenth century that the permanent em
bassy became at all common, and not
until the end of the sixteenth that
it became a generally recognized insti
tution. In 1487 Dr. Roderigo Gon
desalvi de Puebla was appointed per
manent Spanish ambassador to Eng
land, and, as he was still in London
in 1500, the Spanish embassy in the
British capital must be regarded as
the oldest among the permanent em
bassies of the world.
Conception of Cultivation.
Cultivation a generation ago meant
acquaintance with letters and the fine
arts, and some knowledge of at least
two languages and literatures, and of
history. The term "cultivation" is now
much more inclusive. It includes ele
mentary knowledge of the sciences,
and it ranks high the subjects of his
tory, government and economics.—
Charles W. Eliot, in Atlantic.
Produces Patriotism.
A people that studies its own past
and rejoices in the nation's proud mem
ories is likely to be a patriotic people,,
the bulwark of law and the courageous
champion of right in the hour of need.
—Joseph Anderson.
Fancy.
"Are those fancy chickens you are
raising?" "I shonld say so," returned
Mr. Crosslots. "Judging by my bills
for chicken feed, every one of them is
an epicure. 1 "
Women.
"Women." remarks Bindle reflective
ly, in a recent novel, bearing the name
of the hero for its title, "women is all
right if you can keep 'em from man'ln'
yer."
Where Brown Trout Live.
In streams no longer favorable to
the brook trout,- and there are many
such due to logging operations, pol
lution, etc., the English brown trout,
by nature a hardier fish than our na
tive fish, will still thrive, and such
streams may be made to furnish good
sport and a valuable food supply by
stocking with brown trout. —All Out
doors.
Point to Be Remembered.
The dog may be an enemy to quail,
but before we tax him out of existence
let us remember what a good friend he
is to man. —Charleston News and

"Wouldn't you like to have her sing
ing beside you in the wilderness?"
"Well, I'm in favor of the wilderness,
but I wouldn't care to be there." —
Judge.
Generally.
"Who is that young man who says
he does not care to play tennis because
the exercise is too violent?" "That Is
the boy whose father thinks that when
he gets through college he ought to go
out West and punch cows for a spell."
—Judge.
Should Use Judgment.
Teacher —"When little George Wash
ington told the truth about cutting
down the cherry tree his father for
gave him. Now, Henry, what lesson
does this teach us?" Henry—"lt
teaches us that we should learn when
to tell the truth."
Not Always.
Sundays and holidays the alarm
clock is a musical instrument. —Tole-
do Blade.
Carefree.
"How do you know that picture Is
one of the old masters?" "Don't ask
me," replied Mr. Cumrox. "That in
formation is part of what I paid for.
Ask the dealer how he knows."

Measure of Culture.
Culture is not measured by the
greatness of the tield which is covered
by our knowledge, but by the nicety
with which we can perceive relations
in that field, whether great or small.
—II. F. Stevenson.

green sage leaves, boil them in a gill
of vinegar for ten minutes; apply to
the sprained joint as a poultice be
tween folded muslin. Rest the joint
as much as possible.
We Ail Have Felt It.
In a reading class the word "dis
couraged" was encountered. The
teacher asked the pupils what they
understood by the meaning of this
word. Lawrence replied: "Well, it is
just the way you feel when you make
someting nice and it up and busts."
