1 what was the matter —----
might be anything from a burned cake
to the loss of a pocket book. But the
expression Interested him.
“I admire your ability to recognise
the Impossible,” he said, adjusting the
glasses on his nose and peering at her
over them, "hot why ‘sit down and
cry?’ Is It Impossible to stand up and
weep, or to lie down and shed tears?’
"O, shut up!” said the woman; “you
talk like a musty old book.”
"But,” persisted the man, “you seem
to recognise the fact that crying, eith-
er sitting down or otherwise, will not
Improve matters, so why consider it at
all? Your philosophy might be ex-
tended beyond mere Imaginary relief
from tears to a point where the—"
"You make me tired,” said the wom-
an, not yery elegantly. The man
smiled.
"That’s right,” said the woman an-
grily, "sneer at your wife when she
breaks her china bowl—”
"Now hold on,” said the man placid
ly, "If It wouldn’t do any good to cry
over It, what good will It do to worry
over It, or be mad over It? It’s brok-
en, ain't it?”
"If you were any sort of a husband,”
exploded the woman, breaking into
tears, or what seemed to be, "you’d
not sit there and—laugh—at—me."
“There, there,” said the man, “quit
it. I’ll get you a new one.” The wom-
an smiled.
“I Just knew you would,” she said.
The man rubbed his stubby chin.
“Uh huh," he murmured to himself,
“O, yes. Her philosophy was all
wrong—but It wouldn't be safe to tell
her It does good to sit down and cry.
But shucks, she knows It. It was a
bluff.”—Galveston News.
Prediction of Earthquakes.
Although seismologists have not yet
succeeded In finding out any means
of definitely predicting the occurrence
of an earthquake, they are hopeful of
finally arriving at this desired goal;
and already they can discern danger
by the pulsations which are always
greatly agitating the surface of the
earth. A sudden cessation of these
heart-beats Is a danger signal, ex-
treme stillness Invariably preceding
an earthquake, whereas constant tre-
mor* are a good sign. A great earth-
quake is almost always followed by
weaker ones, and when it is violent
and destructive the uumber of minor
•hocks following It may amount to
hundreds or even thousands, and con-
tinue for several months or years.
The occurrence of after-shocks is
quite natural and necessary for set-
tling down Into stable equilibrium of
the disturbed tract at the origin of
disturbance, each .of these shocks re-
moving an unstable or weak point un-
derneath. Further, as a very great
shock would remove a correspond-
ingly great underground instability, it
is probable that such a shock would
not, for a long time, be followed by
another of a magnitude comparable
to Its own In the same or a neighbor-
ing district. When, however, the Ini-
tial shock is not very great, It may be
followed by another like It, but even
In this case the position of the origin
of the second shock would usually be
quite distinct from that of the first.

Blind, But Picks Berries.
One of the most expert strawberry
pickers In this country is a blind man.
Kobert Jolly of Ores*, Wash., for
years has made his anuual expenses
picking strawberries and other fruit
for his neighbors, and so skilled is
be, and so rapid, that he earns tus
much ou the commission plan as a
man with good eyes. Jolly finds his
way along the rows of vines with his
•tick, and carries a dozen crates with
him. His nimble fingers find the
frutt, and while one hand Is plucking
the berry the other is searching for

State Superintendent Fairchild of Kan-

got down, too, and assisted the little
fellow in catching the hopper. What
