We know of some cats that never fail to come back. The Moros seem to be less dangerous than ice cream cones. There are 130,000 "foreign waiters ‘ la London, all with palms extended. How aeronauts have cities at their mercy in mimic warfare is becoming amazing. With a new record every day it seems there is no limit to the powers of an aeroplane. The Chicago woman whose ear was hitten off by her busband, probably didn’t feed him enough. There is a very bad $2 bill in circulation. Insist on getting your change In twenties and fifties.

Just bottle up your weather grouch and strike a temperature average for the year on the 31st day of next December. It may soon be possible to telephone to England from the United States. Very well, but how about getting money that way ? Still there is an abiding of optimistic faith that it will prove easier to dodge an aeroplane than an automotdle or motorcycle. __ ■ It would seem that more people are giving their lives to the perfection of the aeroplane than to any former scientific achievement. In twenty-seven years the Kimberley diamond mines have yielded $420,000,000 worth of diamonds. Still our western cornfields do a lot better than that The man who is earning his own living in these days, however mildly he may be going about it, is truly enough earning his bread by the sweat of his brow. Timorous males who are frightened at the way women are invading men’s occupations should take heart at the success some achieve in trimming hats. Going down to the sea in ships was the ancient idea of peril. But it was common place safety beside going up tn the air in the most modern style of ships. Ten or fifteen deaths among the comparatively few aeronauts and aviators in the last few months are not only depleting their ranks but showing up air flights as mighty dangerous pas timing. In printing the new passenger tickets to be used on airship lines care should be taken to have it specified that stop-over privileges may be had when necessary without the signature of the conductor.

Counterfeit buttermilk is being sold tn some of the drug stores in the east, and the health authorities say it is very dangerous.

Farmers after experiment report that the cows yield their piilk better when the phonograph is kept going in the barn at milking time. This seems to offer a grand scheme of relief in the form of moving all the phonographs to all the cow barns. The oil-burning torpedo boat destroyer Roe reached a speed of 31 knots an hour in a test off the Delaware breakwater, although the contract requirement was only 28 knots and is now acknowledged to be the fastest exclusively oil-burning torpedo boat destroyer in the United States navy.

AUTOMOBILE RACER TURNS TO AEROPLANES

from stereograph.copyright, by Underwood Underwood,N. Y. New York. —Lewis Strang, who has won fame as an automobile racer in America and Europe, has now turned his attention to the aviation game, and there is no doubt that he will make a new name for himself as an aeropianist Strang has imported a Bleriot monoplane and is practising with it assiduously. He is noted for his fearlessness and nerve, but he is wise enough to learn tnoroughly the new vehicle before attempting to make any extended flights.

COST OF MARRIAGES

Some People Try to See How Much Can Be Spent. Amusing Story of Clergyman In London Who Was Out for All the Cash He Could Get—Some of Accessories He Would Furnish. London.—Some of the fashionable weddings that have taken place lately would seem to indicate that the people concerned were anxious to see how much money could be spent on the affair. In England the ceremony is much more complicated. The most usual form of marriage is by "banns.” Notice is given to the clergyman of the church where the young couple desire to get married, the announcement is given out three Sundays running before the wedding day, and for this the bridegroom pays the clerk 50 cents. If neither of the parties live In this parish, one or other of them must do so for three weeks before the ceremony takes place, but this condition is often filled by the bridegroom taking a room and putting a stick or bag in it for the required time. Of course, you have to pay the clergyman something for performing the ceremony for you, and the legal fee is $1.25, with 50 cents to the clerk, and a further 50 cents for a copy of the certificate of marriage, but each clergyman asks w’hat he chooses, and som® of them place their services rather high. Recently a young couple who live in the suburbs decided to get married at one of the churches in the Strand, in London, as this was a convenient center for all their friends, and also near Charing Cross station, from which they were starting for Paris immediately after the ceremony. It was to be a quiet affair, no bridesmaids, no bouquets, no carriages, no red carpet, etc. So one fine morning the brides’s father started off to find the incumbent of ope of these London churches, an individual with a double-barreled name and, incidentally, a double-barreled loquacity as well. After a great effort the father got him to talk about the wedding, and finally inquired the fee. “The fee would be $25,” said his reverence. “And, of course/you would like some music? We supply that and it would be $5.” The father was about to say something, when, the padre broke in again: “And you would like some red carpet put down, I suppose? We supply that for $5.”

“Oh,” began the man out of whose pocket the money was to come for all this, when —’’ “And if it’s a wet day, you would require an awning,” continued the clergyman. “We supply the awning and the fee would be $5.” "Yes,” gasped the father, casting about in his mind for a way of escape, when the other went on: “And, of course, you would have some flowers. My daughter always does the flowers, and I’m sure she would be delighted to do them for you.” Before the astonished father could reply, the clergyman rang the bell and requested the servant who answered it to ask “Miss Louie” tj l step in.” “Miss Louie” duly arrived, and expressed herself enchanted at the prospect or doing the flowers for the wedding. “And whSt do you think It would cost, dear?” asked her father. "Do you suppose you could do it for $25?” As this last straw was laid on the poor victim’s back, he roused himself and managed to stamrper that he must consult his daughter before making the final arrangements, and made for the door, trusting to escape. But the clergyman had reserved a parting shot. Taking up a small paper-covered book from the table, he said:. “Tfis is a small book on the history of the church. lam sure your daugh-

ter will like to read all about it, as she is thinking of being married there.” “Thank you; I’ll give it to her,” said the innocent man. “That’ll be 25 cents,” said his reverence, and the unfortunate father placed the money on the table and fled for his life. Needless to say the marriage did not take place at his church.

FISHHOOKS BAD FOR FOWLS

Pennsylvania Chicken Fancier Believes Old Saying Is In Need —. of Revision. Lewiston, Pa.—John B. Clemmens, a Pennsylvania railroad signalman at Newton Hamilton, is of the opinion that the old sayingT"Never count your chickens until they are hatched," eould be well amended to read “Never count your chickens.” Clemmens is a chicken fancier and had a flock of half grown games of which he was especially proud. The other day his two sons returned from a fishing trip and threw a number of large eel hooks, baited with pieces of veal, on the bank at the boat landing. An hour later there was a great commotion among the flock of games and an investigation showed that each had swallowed a chunk of veal and an eel hook with it. Clemmens killed six of the chickens in removing the hooks.

GROUCH GERM IS DISCOVERED

New Form of Bacillus Particularly Active in Hot Weather Found in Kansas City.

Kansas City, Mo.—A new germ, as yet unnamed, has Just been discovered in Kansas City. It is a hot weather bacillus and affects young and old alike, being particularly noxious in adults, it is said, and producing a chronic case of what ordinarily is called the “groueh.** . The discoverers of thl§, germ are Dr. E. L. Mathis, chief probation officer, and his assistants, who constantly are making a study of human nature and, by the way, this particular bug is one which attacks human nature only. “It is a hot weather bug,” said Doctor Mathias, “and can produce the worst case of grouch in a short time that you ever saw. “Just now we Juvenile officers have little to do so far p.s the juvenile court is concerned, but we are kept busy as bees looking after what we call hot weather business. “Somehow or ether, this hot weath-’ er seems to ’peeve’ everybody. It takes the form of crouch in adults End the form of what the grown-ups are pleased to call ‘devilment’ in children. “4 man lies down to take a nap of a hot afternoon. He is Just tuckered out by the heat, he says, and a nap will straighten him out. Just as he gets comfortably settled, boys or girls in the neighborhood begin t 0“ romp, and, of course, they call back and forth, and the would-be napper is annoyed. “Then the irate adult goes outdoors. He is hard hit by the weather bug. He loses his temper and gives the children a calling down. The bug, in

fad for aviation among American women. Ever since Clifford B. Harmon took up in his Furman biplane Mrs. Harmon, Mrs. William K. Vanderbilt and other women have declared their desire for aeroplaning. It is announced that three pretty French women aviators are to follow to this country shortly after the arrival of these small airships. They will be costumed as the women aviator should be and will be prepared to demonstrate and instruct American women in the art of flying. Yves De Villers, the representative for the Vendome aeroplane, was at Mineola, L. 1., the other day, and said that the little monoplanes are being brought to this country as quickly as possible. At least one of the three machines wil be shipped to the aviation grounds in Mineola, where it will make daily flights. It is the smallest one-person fly-about in the world, and weighs 60 pounds less than the famous Santos-Dumont Demoiselle. The Vendome monoplane is the work of Raoul Vendome, a French builder of aeroplanes. It is equipped with a 12-horsepower Anzani motor, and complete, ready for flying, weighs 180 pounds.

Girl’s Kiss Holds Liner.

New York.—Miss Agnes Quirk’s desire to kiss a friend goodby “for luck” forced Capt. Warr of the liner Campania to hold the ship at the dock over scheduled sailing time. Miss Quirk was one of five Brooklyn teachers who won a trip abroad in a popularity contest. She forgot the final kiss till the shore crew tried to hustle her aboard. But their efforts were of no avail. Not until Miss Quirk had implanted a protracted and resounding smack on the cheek of a man friend.

Some of the men go out, learn it is the same old story, and it is up to them to explain to the adult that children must play and that they can’t be expected to conduct their game after the fashion of a Friends’ meeting. They also lecture the children and take steps to restore the equilibrium of the neighborhood which is ravaged by the summer bug.” The Juvenile officers have not gone into the Investigation of the bug in scientific fashion, and as yet have ■worked out no cure.

TEN YEARS OF SUFFERING.

Restored at Last to Perfect Health by Doan's Kidney Pills. Mrs. Narcissa Waggoner, Carterville, 111., says: "For over ten years

I suffered terribly with backaches, headaches,' nervous and dizzy spells. The kidney secretions were unnatural and gave me great trouble. One day I suddenly fell to. the floor, where I lay for a long time unconscious. Three doc-

tors who treated me diagnosed my case as paralysis and said they could do nothing more for me. As a last resort, I began using Doan’s Kidney Pills and was permanently cured. I am stronger than before in years." Remember the name—Doan’s. For sale by all dealers. 50 cents a box. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y.

Doll House Library.

A search for a child’s short story, "The Griffin and the Minor Canon,” in a volume all by itself revealed to a persistent city shopper the thought and money that are expended on the furnishing of dolls’ houses. Book stores had not the story in a single volume, but in a department store one young woman interviewed had recently been transferred from the toy department and was able to contribute a helpful hint. “I think,” she said, "you can find it in one of the dolls’ houses downstairs." Curiosity had by that time become a sauce to literature, so the shopper hurried downstairs to inspect the doll houses. Three of the most expensive houses contained libraries consisting of a score of diminutive books and each book contained a child’s story complete. One of them was "The Griffin and the Minor Canon.”

A Fitting Design.

“I want an estimate on 10,000 letter heads,” said the professional-looking man with the silk hat. ‘‘Any special design?” asked the engraver. “Yes, sir,” replied the caller. “In the upper left-hand corner I want a catchy cut of Patrick Henry making his memorable speech, and in distinct letters, under the cut, his soulinspiring words, ‘Give me liberty or give me death.’ You see,” he added, handing a card to the engraver, “I’m a divorce lawyer, and want some! thing fitting.”—Lippincott’s.

Quotation Marks.

Senator Beveridge, in an after-din-ner speech in Cleveland, said of a corrupt politician: "The man’s excuse is as absurd as the excuse that a certain minister offered on being convicted of plagiarism. “ 'Brethren,’ said this minister, “it is true that I occasionally borrow for my sermons, but I always acknowledge the fact in the pulpit by raising two fingers at the beginning and two at the end of the borrowed matter, thus indicating that it is quoted.”

Advice.

“Doctqr,” cried little Bingle, over his telephone, “my wife has lost her voice. What the dickens shall I do?” “Why," said the doctor, gravely, “if I were you I’d remember the fact when Thanksgiving Day comes around, and act accordingly." Whereupon the doctor chuckled as he charged little Bingle two dollars for professional services.—Harper’s Weekly.

A Bernhardt Trick.

Mme. Sarah Bernhardt, who is supposed to be something of an artist as well as an actress, was recently called upon in one of her marvelous creations to enact the role of a sculptor, and to model a certain bust In vlqw of the audience. This fairly electrified the critics, but when going into rhapsodies over the technical skill in handling the clay which Mme. Bernhardt exhibited they showed that they knew little of the artistic tricks of actors and actresses; as a matter of fact, she does nothing of the kind. The bust is modeled and baked, and over it Is placed damp clay of the same color. This the talented actress merely pulls off, exposing the beautifully modeled head underneath.
