No Change in Status
A man ran away with the wife of a
neighbor. The local clergyman called
upon the deserted husband to attempt
to console him, but the man seemed
singularly cheerful considering the na-
ture of bls loss. ,
"It’s too bad; too bad I” said the
clergyman. "I understand that the
man who persuaded your wife to elope
with him was your best friend."
The husband smiled.
"Yes,” he said, "he was—and he is 1
Licensed to Drink Coffee
Prohibition applied to coffee drink-
ing at one time. In the year 1781 in
Germany only a few rich holders of
government licenses drank coffee and
deputies were employed to spy upon
the common people to see that they
did not have coffee. These deputies
used to follow the smell of roasting
coffee to seek out those who did not
have permits. In consequence they
were cordially disliked and were called
"coffee smellers” by the Indignant
populace.—Family Herald. *
Famous Group of Stars
The Pleiades is a group of small
stars in the constellation Taurus, very
conspicuous on winter evenings about
24 degrees north of the equator. lor
some unknown reason there were an-
ciently said to be seven Pleiades, al-
though only six were conspicuous then
as now; hence the suggestion of a lost
Pleiad. In mythology the Pleiades
were said to be the daughters of At-
las and Pleione, and were named Al-
cyone, Merope, Celaeno, Electra, Ster-
ope or Asterope, Taygeta and Maia.
Historic Mecca Temple
The Caaba le the temple of Mecca,
tald to occupy the exact spot of the
tabernacle that was let down from
heaven at the prayer of repentant
Adam, after his wanderings of 200
years. According to tradition, it was
hnllt by Ishmael, assisted by his father,
Abraham, and contains the famous
"Black Stone of Mecca.’’ The tem-
ple has been twice rebuilt within
historical times, but still retains Its
qrtginal shape. It is in the form of
« cube, 50x80 feet, and about forty
feet In height. It is richly decorated,
and used to be annually recovered
With handsome brocaded hangings
presented by the sultan of Turkey.
The interior is finished in marble and
dQver-gllt plating, and contains beau-
tiful silk hangings, but is devoid of
Turbans and Nests
The turban is a fashionable head-
dress in Burma, and each girl eagerly
looks forward to the time when it will
be her privilege to swathe her head in
yards and yards of dark cloth. But
until she has found a young man who
is willing to build her a bamboo house
and to raise rice for her, she cannot
wear this coyeted headdress. Because
among the Kachins unmarried girls
are not permitted to wear a turban
nor do they let their hair grow long.
They wear bobbed hair and have done
so for centuries. But the day a Kachin
girl is married she lets her hair grow
and binds it up with the turban, which
she wears with pride. For the turban
marks her as a married woman.—Fam-
ily Herald.

Toll of London Fogs
According to one authority, says
Popular Mechanics, a single London
log may cost more lives than a pitched
battle. The period of the greatest
prevalence of the dense mists is in De-
: comber, with the other winter months
ftot far behind. At this season of the
year the death rate from lung diseases
readies its height. The heavy, mois-
ture-laden-''air aggravates such mala-
dies, the lack of sunlight reduces phys-
ical resistance and illness frequently
results from chills caused by the damp-
ness. Mental depression is considered
another harmful effect.
Didn’t Seem Fair
A business man who had motored
out to his summer camp for the week- i
end met' his little daughter at the
bridge and presented her with a small
sack of candy. Just before they
reached camp they overtook the small
barefoot boy who brought them milk
each morning.
“Give the little boy some candy,
Gertie,” her father suggested.
Gertie picked out' a small piece, but
her father took the bag and poured
out several pieces into the boy’s out-
stretched hand.
After the boy had gone Gertie said
reproachfully, “Papa, why did <you give
that milk boy nearly all my candy?”
“Why, my dear, you must be gener-
ous! Think of all the nice milk he
brings, and they don’t charge much for
it.”
“Oh, well," said the little girl, still
reproachfully, "I only had a few bits
of candy, and he’s got a whole cow
full of milk.”—Youth’s Companion.

How Crocodiles “Hunt”
The scent, sight and hearing of croc-
odiles are most acute, a writer in the
New York Herald-Tribune remarks.
Their favorite method of hunting is
to lie immersed in water, or under
brush, grass or bushes near a drink-
ing place, and when a victim bends
its neck to drink, by a swift rush it
is seized by nose, leg or tall and
crushed in the powerful jaws of the
crocodile. The powerful tail also is a
valuable aid to a crocodile when
in a battle. Often when a large ani-
mal, like a deer or goat, is browsing

Weeping Stove Pipes
Weeping stove pipes, from the j
joints of which a tarlike liquid leaks j
out, is often a difficult trouble to j
remedy. It is due to insufficient
draft. The smoke, moving slowly |
through the pipes, condenses and the I
liquid so formed oozes out at the
joints of the pipes. Sometimes hav-
ing the pipes on an incline, upward
to the chimney, will cause the smoke
to pass along more quickly. Some-
times raising the chimney will in-
crease the draft. Some find that a
little opening in the pipe next the
chimney, with a sliding cover, in-
creases the draft up the chimney,
"When open, and so causes the smoke
to pass out quickly. It all comes to
this—increase the draft and the heat
of the pipes and so cause the smoke
' t© pass out so quickly that It cannot
cool and condense in the pipes.—Fam-
ily Herald.

Cleansing Uses for Corks
Old corks can be used in many
valuable ways. Spots and blemishes
on windows will nearly always disap-
pear if rubbed with a dry cork. Moist-
ened with turpentine, it will remove
marks from white glaze bricks, and
rust spots on metal give way to cork i
dipped in paraffin; spots on linoleum j
by cork dipped in gasoline. Burnt I
marks on pie dishes and plates will
vanish if treated with a cork dipped
in wet salt.

knowledge back to home and to

forts, amusements and means of cul-
ture are in the home, for they be-
lieve in play as well as work. The
girls have been taught cooking and
sewing as well as the regular school
subjects, which gives them an inter-

the pleasure of helping up plan.’
I have ofoten wished I could have
been at that family conference. How
ever, I learned a valuable lesson from
the part I heard, namely, to allow’
and expect each member of the fam-
ily to share the jooys, responsibilities
and rewards of each problem.
They have all learned business
principles together, planned evrry-
thing together and gone at it sys-
tematically. Each seems to expect
more of himself than of others and I

THE MOST INTERESTING
FAMILY I HAVE KNOWN.
The most interesting family I have
ever known is one of seven people
who live on the farm joining our. It
is a jolly, easy-going, old-fashioned
^family corisisting of father, mother,
two sons and three daughters.
The first thing noticeable is their
courtesy toward each other; but all
who enter their home are treated
with this same courtesy, the poorest
and richest alike.
They work in unison and each one
shares the responsibilities as well as
pleasures. I heard the father say-
one day that he thought several
changes about the premises would be
good.
“I think so too,” agreed the wife,
