CONSIDER GIFT HIGH HONOR

Comparatively Few Persons Are Presented With the “Freedom of the City of London.” The freedom of the city of London, with which fif Wales. . l waa presented recently., is one-of the most cherished and ancient of civic privileges. The actual document given to his royal highness is a piece of parchtltles and guaranteeing to him and his descendants many privileges Jo which he would not otherwise be entitled. Thus he will not ha ve to-pay a tax on any goods brought within the city gates, aor will he have to render naval or military service. Should he fall on evil lines the prince of Wales would lie entitled to pecuniary aid. Should he in the course of years pass away, leaving children, the city chamberlain would educate them and administer their property until they arrive at years of maturity. It is usual to Inclose the “freedom’’ Ln a gold i'asket, the certificates, in the case of the prince of Wales, will be in a frame and the casket will be represented by silver plate. In the case of General Booth the casket was of simple, sturdy oak. ' ' ' ' ;

Thermometer Trade to U. S.

With adequate labor American manufacturers of thermometers, besidea being able to supply fully the wants of the domestic trade, are in a position to build up a good export business, T)ut, as is the case in so many industries, they are handicapped at present by the shortage of skilled workers. The making ofLthermometers Is mostly a hand process. With M y rlence or more necessary for the development of a skilled worker. Starting in the war period.—when German goods were shut out of the country, the American thermometer Industry has shown marked advancement Before the war -Germany conmany In South America has been procured by concerns in the United States. It is not believed that Germany. will regain her position in the domestic market, and much of the South American business, it is predicted, will be held by the American manufacturers.—N.ew York Tribune.

Fascinating Ukulele.

Many people, even now, may think of the ukulele as a Russian province, or an eastern title, yet it happens to be neither, but a small musical instrument which, according to a writer in the London Dally Chronicle, recently baffled the experience even of the customs man, who refused to recognize It as such and permitted its entry into England free of duty. The little South sea ukulele is not unlike a “fiddle that ybu play with your fingers,” to the eye of the uninitiated, but all who hear it admit its sweetness and the charm of its plaintive voice. No doubt one of these days England will become aware of the fascination of the ukulele, even as America has already done. The customs man will then exact hislegitimate toll, and a strange, music will haunt the London

Meanest Man.

THE APPLE TREE.

fear after year it uplifted Its treasure of bloom to the sky, Cifedled the Wee baby robins, Scented the breeze that went by, Offered a delicate nosegray To lie on tke breast of the maid. And gave in the rain and the sunshine Then came the wrath of the tempest,® Tearing It up -by the root. Laying It prone QB.the meadow With its promise of blossom and fruit. Never again to the zephyr A petal kiss to blow, Or stand like a bride at morning, Blushingly veiled Ip snow. But lo! when the spring returning " Called to the bird and bee, Life awoke and quickened . In the brave old apple tree. The sap in its dying branches Warmed to the sun and shower, > Until, though bent and broken, It budded,and.burst In flower. Keeping faith with the Maytime After the winter snows, Out of the dust and debris Its fragrH.nt soul Triumphant over disaster. Defying Death’s advance; Dauntless tree, I salute you! Such is the spirit of France. —Minna Irving.

SURE IT WAS SEA SERPENT

©fficersof Two British Vessels Convinced They Had Sight of Genuine Monster of the Deep. It was on August 6, 1848, that H. M. 8. Daedalus, on her way from the Cape of Good Hope to Stz Helena, came'-near a singular looking object In the water.

nostril in the mass which floated before them. It looked like a long lizard or serpent. « Captain M’Quhae’s report caused a great deal of excitement, and although scienti.stsegdeavored-to-showthat there could.be no” such thing as a seaserpent, the popular imagination would not be calmed. Nine years later’the captain and officers of the .Castillian, sailing from Bombay to Liverpool, and about ten miles away from St. Helena, sighted “a huge marine animal, which reared its head out of the water, 20 yards from the ship.* Its head was shaped like a nun-buoy, and we (the ship’s officers) conclude that the monster must feet long. T'(the captain) am convinced it belonged to the serpent tribe.”

Cheap Alcohol.

While the demand for gasoline is still increasing so rapidly in America, the,, problem of motor-fu4 shortage is ever becoming more serious in many parts of the world. Alcohol is the substitute fuel most considered, but the British committee of inquiry finds that home vegetatiop offers little hope of aid, for such products as pot a toes and artichokes yield only 20 gallons of 95 and subtropical plants are more promising. The most encouraging source of alcohol so,far brought to notice appears to be the flower of the’mahua tree, so/ommon in parts of India, as this material can be dried, packed and exported, and supplies 90 gallons of 90 per cent alcohol per ton. It is suggested that if the aerodromes for airplane routes be established near production areas of this tree, the tropical chemist should be able to provide alcohol at a cost not exceeding 14 cents a gallon.

Switch 'Tends to Itself.

The door-bolt switch is a novel eleetrl<h lighting appliance designed to les-~ sen the lighting expenses ot hotel pro? prietors. The switch is -mortised In the door-jamb, and connected in series with the wall switch. So installed, the new appliance is operated only by the locking of the door on the corridor side. Its operation turns out the lights in the room carelessly left on, and makes the wall sw’itch inoperative. When th? guest returns or the door is unlocked by any person, the wall switch can again be used in the regular way for turning the lights on or ol£ : :

Absent Minded.

My most embarrassing moment was when I was in an elevator In one of the department stores. I happened to work in the post office, while three-cent stamps were being used. I entered the elevator on the main floor and wanted to get off on the third floor. After passing the- second floor, I called out, absent mindedly: “Three cents, please." . The people gazed at me. and I walked out, very much embarrassed. —Chicago Tribune.
