In the botanical gardens of Rio de Janeiro there are monster trees from the Amazon country which overtop even the lofty royal palms and reach a height of from 150 to 200 feet.^ Hearing a peculiar noise at the schoolroom door a "Wheeling (W. Va.) school teacher opened it and a Shetland pony walked In. Immediately the room was In an QProar. One of the teachers called the fire department and several firemen hurried to the scene. In order to get the pony ont of the building they had to carry it down a long flight of stairs. The pony was the property of a boy in the school and had come to look for his master.

HE GOT IT A LITTLE MIXED

Youthful Nava! Officer Had Difficulty Giving First Order When Left in Command. Clothing the immature in a little brief authority and responsibility is frequently attended with results the reverse of impressive, as in the case of one of Uncle Sam’s youthful officers below set forth. While a certain war craft was lying at the Brooklyn navy yard a young ensign was placed in command of the "deck. It happened that only’ orrtf item remained on the list of the morning’s duties, and that was to sweep decks at seven bells. It was not a very martial command to give, but as the time approached, the officer of the deck waxed nervous. He imagined that the eyes of aIL hands were on him, and that the safety of tbe_ship depended upon his giving the order in the proper voice. At three minutes to seven bells he again scanned the order book. It read; “Seven bells ; Pipe sweepers.” It was plain enough, and the young officer took bis stand near the mainmast, and Called out in a very weak voice: “Bo’s’n's mate!” ■"f The man addressed sprang to his feet with finger touching cap. “Aye, aye, sir,” he replied. Glancing hastily around, the scared officer muttered hoarsely, “ Swipe peepers!” . It was an entirely new order to the boatswain’s mate. He touched his cap inquiringly: The ensign, more confused than ever, stammered desperately : “Peep swipers, my man.” The words were overheard, and the laugh which followed proved the last straw. The ensign drew himself up, and with withering scorn explained:, ‘^5 weep pipers, and be quick about itTtoo!” This time his order was obeyed, the grinning boatswain’s mate having fathomed his meaning.

AUTO GOT THERE FIRST

Judge—The prisoner claims that he tooted his horn before he ran over you. Complainant —Maybe .he did, your honor, but what good is that when a car is traveling faster than soond?

Birth of Flying Idea.

The idea of flying by aid of the balloon was conceived by Stephen Montgolfier while watching a wet shirt, drying before a fire, swell and rise under the influence of the hot air. On August 27,1783, at Paris, the Montgolfiers sent up a balloon 12 feet In diameter before 300.000 spectators. On September 19th, at Versailles, before Louis XVI and his court, a balloon was sent up to which was attached a basket in which were placed a sheep, a cock, and a duck. These nameless heroes were, the first to prove that animals, and, hence, man could live high up in the air. On November 21st, the same year, De Rofiaer made the first flight ever made by man, remaining In the air 20 minutes* 1

Desired the Pleasure.

“Major Rasher, I saw a man today who would like the pleasure of kicking you,” said a friend. . “Kicking me!” exploded the major. “Kicking me! Give me his name at once!” “I hardly like to tell yon,” said the other. “I insist upon knowing,” said the major. “Ah, well, Til tell you,” said the othed. “It’s a soldier who’s in the hospital with both legs off.” —London TitBits: - • -

Banishing Onions’ Odor.

The disagreeable smell which onions leave on pots and pans can quickly be removed by washing and drying the pans, scouring with common salt and placing on the stove until the salt is brown. Shake often,; then wash the pan as usual.

To Whiten Cloth.

A good slice of lemon added to the water in which white clothes are boiled whitens them beautifully.

Around the House

If plants freeze immerse them in cold water and keep them in a perfectly dark place until thoroughly thawed out, says the Farm journal. * A funnel makes a handy egg separator. Break the egg into it, and the white will slip through, leaping the yolk unbroken. , V V If new tinware is rubbed over with fresh lard? iben thoroughly heated ill the oven before it is used, it will be less liable to rust. " \ Add a few drops of water to the gasyou will have no “ring” about the spot you have cleaned. Put scraps of cold meat through the food chopper and stir these in cornmeal mush when making it to fry. This makes an appetizing dish for breakfast. Tart apples are good baked with honey. Pare and core and place then! in a baking dish with a lump of butter in each, pour over some honey and bake until soft. v Give the egg beater a drop of oil occasionally on its pivot and cogs, but wipe oif all surplus oil before using, or , it will splatter into what you are beating. Keep the bottle of spirits of turpentine bandy to the washroom. A few drops in wash water help to take the dirt out and give clothes a nice clean smell. - If you have some vegetables that seem to be getting a bit stale clip off the lower end and let them stand in fresh water for a few hours. Makes them fine. •,

Proper Care of Eggs Intended For Incubation

Poor hatches cannot always be charged to the hen or the incubator. Of great importance in seeming a good batch is the care of the eggs before they are placed in the incubator. While it is not known definitely at what temperature eggs chill, it is safe to keep them in a temperature of 55 degrees to 65 degrees F. Eggs start to incubate at 6S degrees to 70 (fegrees F. and develop slowly, but they will not batch successfully at that temperature. Many eggs are chilled through not being gathered often enough. Incubator eggs can be kept iu a simple tray by laying them on their sides. It is a good practice to turn them daily to prevent the yolk from adhering to the upper part of the shell. Washing batching eggs removes the bloom and permits of too rapid evaporation. To prevent diseases which might be caused from insanitary eggs the Pennsylvania State college school of agriculture and experiment station recommends dipping them in a disinfectant like alcohol or a 2 to 3 per pent stock dip solution. In any case the eggs should not be rubbed. It is impossible to tell whether an egg is fertile or infertile except by incubation. A common superstition advocated by some pouitrymen is that long eggs produce cockerels and short eg-, pullets. It is impossible, however, to i oretell sex by the shape of an egg. It is best to w r ait four to seven days after mating for hatching eggs. From one mating fertility will last two or three weeks.

The Smart Porter. “Here, you!” cried the fur coated gentleman to the porter on the suburban station. “Don’t you think that truck is

Any more suggestions yer got ter make?” The fur coated gentleman turned away and left the station. “Say,” said the porter to the ticket seller, “did yer hear how I turned down dat old guy? Pretty good, don’t yer think?" y- ,T “Well, I dunno about that,” said the ticket seller. “He happens to be our traffic superintendent.” Tobacco. Jock met his neighbor Sandy, who was smoking , some exceptionally fine

and fragrant tobacco sent by his t son in America. Jock drew his own pipe from an Inner pocket “Ha’ ye a match, Sandy?” he questioned. The match was proffered, but nothing more. “I do believe,"

said Jock, “I ha’ left me tubacco to bame.” “Then,” replufl Sandy after a brief silence, “ye micbt as well gie me bade me match.”—Country Gentleman.
