The catching of blue gills on trout lines is again possible since the state legislature passed a law permitting the use of five-sixteenth hooks as a minimum on that particular kind of a snare for the finny tribe, says an exchange. For several years the smallest size of hooks allowed on trout lines is the size O. We all have our delicate spots Jesse Hann, a privileged patient from Morgan county in the state hospital for epileptics at Gallipolis, Ohio, fell off a fifty-six foot cliff, dropped through a tree, rolled down a hundredfoot hill and forty-five minutes later arose and walked away. His only complaint was that he had skinned his shin. A horse hitched to a light carriage and tied to a telephone pole on East Madison street took fright yesterday at a passing automobile truck and in an effort in trying to break loose, the shafts of the buggy were broken, while the horse slipped to the pavement, requiring the aid of a number of men in getting matters righted again. The horse was not injured in the fall. In the April Woman’s Home Companion appears a department called The Exchange, in which readers set down practical suggestions that have developed out of household experience. One woman tells as follows how to make an invalid comfortable: “Last year one member of the family was unable to be out of bed. I took a shoe bag that had ample pockets and pinned it neatly with safety pins to the side of her bed. In the pockets 1 put her books and various articles that she needed. Everything was within reach.” In constructing a vault in the basement of one of the Los Angeles banks, a plan iias been followed which makes the six sides of the chamber visible to a watchman and eliminates all chances of its being entered by tunneling beneath it. It is set on con crete columns in the middle of a white-tiled pit which is brightly illuminated. To make it possible to com manti a view of the space beneath the vault, from the level above, mirrors have been arranged an the floor at such an angle that every part of the space is reflected in them. Light is reflected by the side walls so that the top of the vault is illuminated and easily inspected. A picture of the vault appears in the March number of Popular Mechanics Magazine.

The annual distribution of vegetable and garden seeds by the department of agriculture, through members of congress, is being made by mail. Most of the members of the Indiana delegation completed the lists of those ot their constituents to whom they will send free seeds before the congress adjourned. There are no seels here as yet.
