NO GROUND FOR SCANDAL Though for a Time the Domestic Peace of the Deary Family Was Seriously Threatened. A young married woman, whose husband was of an exceedingly Jealous disposition, decided to have her dining room repapered, and telephoned to the nearest paperhanger to send one of his men with samples to her homo that afternoon. Promptly at four o’clock the man appeared with the usual largo sample book, and Mrs. Newlywed ushered him into the dining room, as she thought the paper could best be decided upon when tried against the wall. “No, I don’t like that brown. Mr. Paperhanger. Try the buff,’’ she said. Then, “No, Mr. Paperhanger, the figure is too large in that; let me see that dark blue! Yes, I like that, don’t you, Mr. Paperhanger?" “Yes, madam, that looks very well, but don’t call me Mr. Paperhanger, that isn't my name.” “Oh, pardon me, but what is your name?” Mrs. Newlywed asked. "My name is Love,” the paperhanger answered, when Mrs. Newlywed began to laugh. “Yes, Love,” the paperhanger repeated, somewhat nettled by the lady’s laughter. Then she straightened her face and was about to speak, when her husband strode into the room, with fire in his eyes. “Get out of here, you infamous rascal!” he thundered, shaking bis fist in the paperhanger's face. “Get out before I throw you out.” “What’s the matter with you?” the paperhanger snarled. “What have I done?” “Done? Ask me what you have done! Here I Just come home from a hard day’s work and find you making love to my wife, and then you ask me what you have done!” “Why, man, you're crazy! Why should I make love to your wife when I have one of my own? Your wife asked me what my name was, and I told her. W. E. Love. Now what have you to say?” and the paperhanger straightened up ready for what might happen next, when Mrs. Newlywed said: “Oh, Harry, don’t act so! The man is telling the truth and I was laughing when you came in at the idea of having Love and Deary under the same roof.” This time the paperhanger looked mystified, when Mrs. Newlywed explained: "Our name Is Deary, Mr. Love; this is my husband, H. O. Deary!” Needlessly to say Mr. Deary looked very much ashamed of himself, and Mr. Love is now debating whether he shall change his name or not! Afire In the Sky! With flames shooting up to a height of 50 feet, a Paris aeroplane on patrol duty dived to earth just at nightfall recently. The passenger threw himself from the machine, falling ten feet on to the roof of a house. The pilot, Benoit, came down with the machine, but was burned to death before he could be rescued. Thousands of people witnessed the accident, which occurred over the densely-populated quarter of Vaugirard. The machine took Are at a height of 750 feet. It was then a miie from the Issy aerodrome. With remarkable coolness Benoit attempted to volplane into the Issy ground, but was not high enough. He managed, however, to swing the blazing machine down to the waste land close by, the aeroplane narrowly missing the roofs of the houses and signal posts on the railroad as it dived earthwards amidst the cries of the horrified onlookers. Tubular Headlights. A new electric bulb for headlights is tubular in form, Instead of being round, with the result that a much more effective light is produced. When a round bulb is Inserted in the base of the headlight, rays from the filament have to pass through two and , three thicknesses of the glass, on their way to and from the reflector. The tubular bulb, being but of slightly larger diameter than its base, sends the reflected rays straight ahead without any further interference by the bulging bulb in the center. The tubular bulb has another advantage, which may on occasion prove highly important. It can be withdrawn through the rear of the reflector, making it possible to use front lenses which are screwed on tight, instead of being hinged to the lamp. Popularizing the Deserts. On Thanksgiving day In 1913 many citizens of Phoenix, Ariz., ate their holiday dinners far out on the desert. They went out In automobiles, carrying hampers of provisions with them, and they enjoyed their feast beneath a wonderful sky of green and purple. Automobiles have made the deserts accessible, F. H. Newell writes in the Youth's Companion. Until recently you could not travel over such dreary wastes at a rate of more than 30 miles a day, and you had to carry water for man and beast; but now, in a motor car, you can run 200 miles a day on the desert in almost any direction you choose, for the ground is ordinarily so flat and smooth that roads are almost unnecessary. Culinary Mechanics. “What air them kitchenettes I hear tell of in the cities?" asked Deacon Hyperbole Medders, the somewhat honest agriculturist. “They’re the places, Uncle Hy,” explained Upson Downs, his city nephew, "In which are molded or cast or somehow produced a flat dweller’s daily round of mealettes.” —Judge.
