HOME-MADE PHILOSOPHY
"A little lower tiian the angels" Is
very Indefinite; for there are fallen
angels, too.
Whenever a wife begins to denl with
her husband diplomatically, she's be
coming as crooked as a statesman.
Nothing Is wasted In nn'ure. Even
the tears of sorrow that well up to
our eyes serve to wash our sensitive
eyeballs.
It is hard to tell when a horse dealer
is talking horse, or speaking in horse
dialect about his wife, tho.ugh tie does
lavish the most praise on a favorite
'liare.
BELIEFS ABOUT DOGS
It Is bail luck to give a dog away.
If a girl dislikes dogs she will never
get a good husband.
It Is bad luck to meet n barking dog
early lti the morning.
If you step on a dog there will en
sue a change In your vocation.
The lively barking of dogs in Lent
is a sign of a wedding to which there
Is much objection.
The Indians offered up a small dog
when a child lay sick, supposing the
dog to be 'lie cause. ' •
Another negro superstition Is that
a little white dog is supposed to be a
messeuger of comiug evil.
Another Interpretation of the dog'
howling heavenward Is that It fore
tell* a great flr» disaster.
If you meet a mastllt and It makes
friends with you you will soon meet
someone who will prove a tine friend.
Did you know if you make a wish
on seeing a spotted dog and you do
not see it again you will get your
wish?
Naturally anything which h;w pro
duced such splendid tributes In prose.
In poetry and in human devotion as
a dog would have muclt folklore ac
cumulated around It.
Everybody Is familiar with the south
ern negro superstition about the dog
haying at the moon being an omen of
death, and if It bowls twice and slops
It Is for a man; If three times, a
woman.
For evocv pest there Is a pest,
hxcept, with all their tryln'.
No pest has ever pestered yet
The sturdy dandelion.
Evolution of Man Foreseen.
In one of his recent lectures Sir Oli
ver I.odge, eminent English scientist,
announced thnt the enrth would prob
ably continue to* exist for
years more. These are, of course,
| round numbers. Some scientists esti
mate tlmt the earth will live for ten
times this ape. There have been ani
mals of one kind and another on this
planet for fully this length of time.
The dinosaurs ure believed to have
lived through some such period. The
ace of man, which Is probably only
a few thousand years, seems the mer
est trille by comparison. When we
consider how man has developed dur
ing recorded history, which Is less
j than ten thousand years, we may hope
that he will evolve to an infinitely
I finer type In the future.—Boys' Life.
Rhubarb.
A certain tCast side man was cut
] ting the dock weed In his back yard
with a scythe, and his cight-ycar-ohl
sun was watching, seemingly engrossed
In thought. Presently he asked: "Papa
why does vJod make dockweed?" On
receiving no satisfactory reply lie set
i to thinking again. In a few minutes he
I looked up again with a smile nil over
[ his face. This was his explanation:
"I'll bet Cod got mixed up when he
wns niaktng things and thought this
was rhubarb."—Indianapolis Nrws.
