Their Lonesome Look.
Having a large family, the dining
room table was a long one. A short
time ago the parents were alone for a
few weeks, so all the leaves were taken
from the table. A little boy from next
door came in one day at dinner time
and, seeing the small table, said: “My,
but you look lonesome up so close to
gether !”
Glorious Hungary.
In speaking of Hungary, a German
writer has said: “When I hear its
name mentioned my waistcoat seems
too tight for me, in my heart wakens
traditionary exploits of long ago, the
poetry and song of the Middle Ages. !
Its history is that of yore, the same j
heroism lies within its borders, the
names of its heroes alone have
changed.”
Fish Story.
There wras a fish dinner, and Henri'
etta, aged five, was doing considerable
grumbling about a couple of bones
that, despite her mother’s caution,
were in her portion, Edith, aged six,
listened to Henrietta for some time
without comment. Then, suddenly,
she burst out, patience having appar
ently reached its limit: “For goodness’
sake, Henrietta, don’t fuss so! God
put ’em there!”
Just a Suggestion.
“He used to say there was no sacri
fice he would not make for ine. And j
now he has run away with my wife!” J
“Wanted to prove it, probably.”—
Houston Post.
Some Consolation.
“It’s tough when you have to pay
forty-five cents a pound for beef
steak,” grumbled the head of the
house. “Yes, but it’s tougher, dad,
when you pay eighteen,” returned the
pride of the family.
National Bird.
Most of the choicer turkeys New
York eats at Thanksgiving time hail
from Ohio, Michigan or Indiana. Mary
land furnishes many of luscious flavor,
\Onle Rhode Island birds are compara
tively “few and far between.”
Humor in History.
When Laud, as chaplain to the king,
reported on the religious condition of
the people in Scotland, h£ was noi
aware how humorous he was. He
wrote: “There is not a surplice in the
country. I question if there be a tailor
in the country that could cut you a de
cent surplit^:; the tradition of reli
gion seems lost.”
Catching Fish by Suction.
The fish of the deep are getting
M iser but they can’t sidestep a recent
apparatus built to ensnare them. It
is nothing more than an application
of the vacuum cleaner principle. The
fish enter a funnel-shaped net under
the boat and are drawn up to a con
tained tank on neck by powerful suc
tion pumps.—Popular Science Monthly.
Flying Fishes.
Some fish can spring from the wa
ter and sustain themselves in long
flights of various distances in the air.
These flights are made possible
through the development of the pec
toral or breast fins, and though the
flying fish never flap their fins in their
sailing flights they are able to cover
a distance of no less than 500 feet.
Apple Cleaner.
A new electrical contrivance for
cleaning apples before they are packed
for shipment, is said to clean thor
oughly one carload of apples in a
day.
The Ideal in Life.
The ideal is the historically un
realized, but it is never the unreal.
Rather is it the one great reality
through whose power the unreal is
forever overcome.—Susan E. Blow.
Cacti Found of Value.
Valuable gum and varnish, it has
been discovered, can be extracted from
the desert cacti plant of Arizona; the
crude gums are extracted on the field
and carried to refineries for manu
facture.
Knowledge Unrevealed.
“How is your boy Josh gettin’ on
with his studies?” “I dunno,” replied
Farmer Corntossel. “I guess Josh is
trainin’ hirrfcelf to be one o’ these dip
lomats. If he has succeeded in learn
in’ anything worth talkin’ about he
surely is managin’ to keep it a se
cret.”
Daily Thought.
They are such dear familiar feet
that go along the path with ours—feet
fast or slow, but trying to keep pace;
if they mistake we must be mute, not
turning to impute grave faults, for they
and we have such a little way to go,
can be together such a little while
upon the way, we must be patient
while we may.—George Klingle.
Few Norwegians Can Swim.
It is a curious fact, says the Lan
cet, considering the geography of the
country, that the proportion of Nor
wegians who can swim is small, the
number of deaths in Norway from
drowning being about 600 a year. Only
about 12 per cent of all the school
children between the ages of twelve
and fifteen have learned to swim. Nor
wegian sailors say the extreme cold
ness of the waters that lave their
shores accounts for this.

Isolating Your Telephone
NO one intentionally leaves the receiver off the
hook at the end of a telephone conversation.
When you do this accidentally, it com
pletely cuts you off from all the other telephones in
the system. It also causes your switchboard operator
a lot of extra work in trying to notify you of the fact
that your telephone is temporarily out of commission.
By always replacing the receiver on the hook at the end of a
telephone talk you keep your telephone door open and greatly assist
in maintaining good telephone service.
