All in Family.

Bobby was seated In the reception room of u hospital awaiting his mother’s return from the bedside of a friend. A nurse in passing asked hUn. if he had a good time playing p»t of doors these tine days. Bobby looked .wistful and said there weren’t' many children In their neighborhood. The nurse asked: “Haven’t you any brothers or sisters?” To which Bobby replies, “Oh, yes, but they live with us.”

To Overcome Fatigue.

If you are weary after a fatiguing day, on reaching home take tdn minutes’ rest lying on the back. When you rise, cleanse the face with cold cream, rubbing lightly across the lines and in an upward direction to correct sagging of the muscles. A cloth wet in very hot water should then be applied, followed by several applications of cold water. You will be surprised to find yourself quite rejuvenated.

George Washington's Title.

Did General Washington ever receive a title from the French government? Not a title of nobility, but near the close of the Revolutionary war he was commissioned lieutenant general of the French army and vice admiral of France in order that he might be commandet-in-chlef of the united forces of France and the United States, which were then co-operating.

Her Best Wishes.

It was the last day of school. The teacher was giving a farewell party for her class, as she was to be married in the near future. The children spent a pleasant afternoon, and before they realized it the time came to say goodby. One by one they marched up and shook hands with their dear teacher. Doris said: “I hope you will get as good a husband as my papa is.”

All Nickels.

Judging by the looks of the collection plate that passes us at church, nine-tenths of the members of the congregation seem to think that heaven is only seven squares away, and that the church is a trolley car that carries the saints at the usual rates. —Houston Post.

Motion Pictures “Edited."

After a moving picture refel has been made it must be “edited” in somewhat the same method as is a manuscript. This operation is performed by the editor making his direction in a dictating machine as the reel Is worked off in front of him.

Hard to See Through.

Bobbie’s father was trying to raise Incubator chickens, and one day as the little fellow was watching a chicken breaking its way through the shell, Bobby remarked: “I see how he gets out, all right, but I can’t see how he got In.”

Only Dine.

A great artist was once describing the decadence which in so many cases seemed to unfdld the middle period Qf life. “Yes,” he said, "old men dream dreams, and young men see visions, but middle-aged men only dine.”

Live Wires.

Measuring the current carried from electric wires by streams of water from fire hose, an Italian scientist found that chemical extinguishers were the most dangerous flre-flghtlng equipment to use around live wires.

Prayer for Perpetual Ald.

The theologian says the only form of prayer given for perpetual aid in the Old Testament Is the one in Deuteronomy (26:5-15), connected with the offering of tithes and first fruits.

Big Money.

One of the largest and most cumbersome forms of money Is found In Central Africa, where the natives use a cruciform ingot of copper ore over ten inches long.

Twisted.

This Spoonerism was committed by a clergyman while reading the morning lesson —And presently the wig tree fithered away.—Boston Transcript.

Love and Beauty.

Men of strong Impulses alone know what love Is. Leve alone fathoms beauty; beauty alone creates art. — Wagner.

Foe to Waste.

“Are you a tramp? “No, mum, I’m a food conserver. Have you got any old food you don’t want wasted?”

The Bell for Recess.

He—“l am a man of the old school!” She—“ Well, I dismissed your class some time ago I” —Puck.

Polson Ivy Helps, Too.

The vacationist who collides with a hornet’s nest Is bound to have a swell time. —Boston* Transcript
