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.

"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?"

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 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 Courier. Part of It All Right. "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.
