that the old man called down to his

“No. sir,” answered the funny man.
"we are holding the form for an im-

And the old man went back to bed
wondering if they would keep house or

An easy way to put a heavy carpet
or rug over a clothesline is to fasten
two pulleys, one to the house and the
other to a post or tree or on two posts,
and hang the line between them.
Then, while the line is on the ground
pull the rug over the line, says Popu
lar Mechanics. A very heavy rug can
be easily hung in this manner. The
line should lie long enough to reach
over the pulleys and to the ground and
have end ei ugh at both supports foi
fastening.

Flower of the Air.
There is a plant in Chile and a simi-
lar one in Japan called the “flower of
the air.” It is so called because it ap-
pears to have no root and is never fix
ed to the earth. It twines around a
dry tree or sterile rock. Each shoot
produces two or three flowers like a
lily-white, transparent and odorifer-
ous. It is capable of being transported
600 to 700 miles and vegetates as it
travels suspended on a twig.

useless luxuries? Many expensive hab-

Lordly Disraeli.
Disraeli once told a woman that two
possessions vhich were indispensable
to other people he had always done
without. "I made,” she said, “every
kind of conjecture, but without suc-
cess, and on my asking him to enlight-
en me he solemnly answered that they
were a watch and an umbrella. ‘But
how do you manage,’ I asked, ‘if there
happens to be no clock in the room
and you want to know the time?’ 'I
ring for a servant,' was the magnilo-
queut reply, 'Well,' I continued, 'and
what about the umbrella? What do
you do, for Instance, if you are in the
park and are caught in a sudden show-
er?' ‘I take refuge,’ he replied, with a
smile of excessive gallantry, ‘under the
