Th' cooler a fat man dresses th' hotter he looks—Abe Martin. There are no complaints about ventilation in the new moving-picture theatre in Buenos Aires, which marks f distinct advance in architecture of this class of buildings An oval open ing is left above the center of the house, through which the clouds and stars may be seen, while an abundance of fresh air is always obtained even in the moat stiffing heat of summer, when other nieces of auiuserrient arc deserted. A picture of the theatre appears in the June Popular Mechanic* Magazine. With his face severely lancerated and a hole through his skull, probably penetrating to the brain, a man giving his name as Charles Bissett, aged thirty-nine years, is occupying a rot in the hospital ward at the county jail, as the result of an attempted suicide. in the town calaboose at Red key He was found in the basttle at Redkey late Monday afternoon by Policeman Ernest Green with an eight-penny nail driven the whole length into the'top of his skull. He had been placed in the lockup by Marsha! William May during the forenoon. In reply to the question as to what one who cannot swim should do if he tails into the water when there Is no assistance at hand. William H. Daily, champion life saver of the U. S„ once said: "When one falls into the water the weight of the body will force one under the water first but one will rise again if the .south is kept shut. When you are under the water clasp your hands behind your back, squaring your elbows so as to hulance the flloating body and you will rise to the surface on your back and float until help reaches you or until you starve as long as you keep your hands in that position. The hands clasped and placed on the back of the neck is an equally good position.” The farmers of Fulton county are complaining of great damage done by i the hordes of rabbitr that infest the country. Since the law prohibiting hunting with ferret was passed about two years ago by the state legislature i the little animals have multiplied iu countless numbers and are proving a great meanace to young fruit trees and truck gardens. Several cases have been reported where great fields ts cabbage >;at. s have been totally destroyed One farmer who captured a female lias ios.'.d t gtuce December Ist the family of two has grown to be 45. Animals of such productive powers should be hunted and their numbers kept down so that they would not be allowed to exist in such large numbers. There is a little corner of real France tucked away on a group of is lands lying off the south coast of Newfoundland. the only French colony in North America, and it takes but a few days to get there; and when you are in St. Pierre you hear only French spoken and you see nothing but French people and French gendarmes and French newspapers, and you get real French food. The islands of Miquc'on are one of the foreign countries' referred to, and St. Pierre Is the lively little capital; the other foreign country' is Nova Scotia, and Halifax will be found utterly unlike any home city of ours — with its streets full of red coated soldiers and Us shipping gay with the flag of' Britain. "Few tourists go to St. Pierre, Miquelon, for the simple reason that not many have heard of the place. The group is so small that it. hardly shows on the map: the tourist agencies, if you inquirh. have nev**r heard of it, and even the railway and steamship companies which convey you to Carada and New Brunswick and Nova Scotia will scratch their corporate heads in confusion when you ask them how to go to St Pierre Miquelon I had to go to Halifax before 1 couli find out how to : tacit St. Pierre.
