insects That Use Rubber. When Para trees are tapped, after the gum has run into receptacles and Stiffened, a species of large black ant Is accustomed to cut out pieces of the rubber and carry them away. Bees also find uses for India rubber, and some species In South Africa actually cut the bark of trees that produce peslnous substances in order to cause a flow of the sap. The gum is employed by the bees as a ready-made wax for their nests. Rough on the Old Gentleman. She was the daughter of a bohemian peer, whose friends were various and varied, and she had decided to go up J on the stage. The parental temperature was rising as the parental tongue remonstrated. "But," the daughter remarked with all the brutal aptness of youth, “I wish to marry, and so I’m going on the stage Here at home I meet rfo one decent; there, at least, I shall be able to meet people of my own class.” Punished for Yawning.

Finally he was placed under | ether and the jaw permanently fixed. ————— Treasures In Chicago University. The University of Chicago possesses the Oxyrhynchus fragment of the Gospel of Mark, found ten years ago, which dates back to the fifth century. It. has also the first Greek New Testament given to the world, issued by Erasmus in 1516; also the first one printed, the Compluteusian Polyglot, which came from a Spanish press in 1514, but was suppressed until 1521. Treatment of Heart Wounds. Incised wounds of the heart are no ■ longer beyond the reach of surgical science. It seems almost a cry back to mediaevalism to recall the time, hardly more than twenty years ago, when the suggestion of heart surgery would have been regarded as chimerical. Under Different Circumstances. The young bank clerk was writing home to his parents. "You will forgive a brief letter this week,” he said, "as I am very busy, owing to th* fact that we are short-handed In the office just now. One of the cashiers has gone to France for a rest. The other I has gone there to avoid it" Many Rivers of Avon. There are the “Upper” Avon, known as the Warwickshire or Shakespeare Avon; the Lower or Bristol Avon, on which is Bath, and the East or Hamp shire Avon, on which Is Salisbury. The first two flow into the Severn, the last ’ i into the English channel at Christchurch harbor. —London Mail. Ambiguous. j When “Bob" Burdette was address- • ing the graduating class of a large I eastern college for women, he began his remarks with the usual salutation, "Young ladies of ’97.” Then in a horrified aside he added, “That’s an awful age for a girl.” Bed as a Paradox. The bed is a bundle of paradoxes. We go to it with reluctance, yet we quit it with regret; we make up our minds every night to leave it early, but we make up our bodies every morning to keep it late. A Time Limit. "I think it’s just horrid of you that I you won’t advance $lO on my next 1 week’s house money.” “Well, didn’t j I tell you I’m not making any permanent investments?” One Way. “How do you hold onto your cook i while you are away on your vacation ■ : —by paying her a bonus to come j ! back?” “No, by not paying her what I I owe her.” Succeeded. Artist—“My object was to try to express all the horrors of war-. How do you like it?" Friend —“I have never seen anything more horrible.”—London Opinion. I Foolish Wager Caused Death.

Peculiar Firm Names. "In Honolulu,” writes a New York Sun correspondent, “I saw a few interesting signboards evincing Oriental enterprise. One was that of an ambitious firm, ‘On, On & Co.’ Another was that of a ladies’ tailor, 'Hook On.’ A third stood for a dealer in foods, ‘Ah Clvew.’ On my way home through Texas I came into touch with the two law firms named below: Saner & Saner,’ ‘Head, Hare & Head.’ Tn such harmony do the celestial orbits move and give voice to their delightful consonance.” Pleasure of the Children. There should be some time during the day, even in the busiest household, an hour at least, set apart in which the older members of the family should devote themselves wholly to the children. Little object lessons or stories containing practical knowledge told in an Interesting way will be sure to hold their attention. The story of the gradual formation of the fruits, flowers and vegetables will delight them and will be eagerly looked forward to and always remembered. Robbers Had Ingenuity. An unusual scheme for robbing a gold dump was discovered at Nome, i Alaska, a few days ago, when inspec- | tlon was made of a dump that was thrown up three years ago. It was i found that robbers had sunk a hole I through the top of the dump and sluiced out all the inside, leaving a | hollow shell standing. It is estimated that in this manner the thieves had obtained $5,000. Home and “Boughten" Bread. It appears that from 60 to 70 per cent, of the bread used in New York city is actually baked by women in the home, and even a $25,000,000 bread trust will have hard work to persuade many of these women that the scientific bread turned out by the baking companies day after day under uniform conditions is an improvement on the home product.

Arthur—“ Why is it, fairest Evangeline, that when I am with you the hands on that clock seem to take wings and fly?” Stern Voice (at the head of the stairs) —"Without wishin’ to be impertinent, young man, I I simply want to observe that them hands hain’t got nothin’ on the ones on our gas meter.” —Judge. Idea Every Mother Has. Called to bedside of a fond mother’s j baby boy, the doctor diagnosed the allj ment as acute rheumatism. The mother responded quickly: “Acute rheumatism. I might have known It; everything he does or says is just as j cute.” Has Good Start In Life. A chicken with four distinct legs • | has been born at Hensail, near Selby, i England. The bird is quite healthy : and lively, and certainly it seems well ■ equipped to do some vigorous scratching. Life One Long Lesson. It frequently happens that those whom you, in your vanity, consider your inferiors, can teach you more than you know yourself. There is none who cannot teach us something. Evils Have Root In Idleness. Idleness is the root of many evils. The idleness which preys upon the money-making power of another and forces it to dishonesty, is the criminal in the case. The Indispensable Boy, Caller —“How is your new office boy getting along these days?” Lawyer—"Oh, fine! He’s got things so mixed up now that I couldn’t get along without him!” —Puck. Learn to Appreciate Home. “Every traveler has a home of his | own and he learns to appreciate it the I more from his wanderings.”—Charles Dickens. Way of the World.
