P ST R e P T A - KEEPS WATCH OVER SILVER Mrs. Carnegie a Zealous Guardian of Valuable Tableware of the Household.
I met an old friend this week who had just come down from Skibo caa:he, where she had been staying with the Carnegies, writes a London correspondent of the Kansas City Star. “They are the kindest people in the world to visit,” she said. “There was only one thing 1 did not like there, that was the porridge. It seems to be an affront to the family if you ‘don’t eat your porridge off the lovely silver platter on which it is served. 1 did so want to put one of these platters in my. pocket,” she added. “They were genuine Queen Anpe. “The old silver at the castle -is Mrs. Carnegie’s fetish. She is quite crazy over it. About 9:30 in the evening she will slip out of the drawing room and steal down to the housekeeper’'s reom to count it before it is locked in its special safe for the night. She isthe most house proud chatelaine in all the highlands, and that's saying a lot. The housekeeper has been with her for years, yet. Mrs. Carnegie is not content to let her count these treasures. But probably it is just a labor of love and a joy to her to handle the rare old things.” There is no vestige of snobbery about the Carnegies; they don’t pine a bit for the society of royalty or even titled folk, but they are anxious for the companionship of brainy individuals. Of late Andrew has taken to being a raconteur and does it awfully well. He likes his fricads to correct him if he repeats himeelf. It would be a blessing if other story tellers did likewise. .
‘The gardens of Skibo are looking gorgeous just now, especially the old English garden which is a mass of ficwers, with fruit trees around the walls, 'and cabbages to give it the trie air'of a century ago! The walls, like ;those of all self-respecting English gardens, are mellow red brick, nearly covered with tinted foliage. !’verybody knows there are no rainbows in the world like those of Scotland. When one appears in the sky at Skibo a bell rings and all the house party fly to the lawn to admire it.
WITH CHOCOLATES AND TAFFY James Squirmed Neatly Qut of Situation That Would Have Been Trying to Average Man. The conversation turned to the power of flattery at a recent historic social session when Miss Billy Burke, the actress, was reminded of an incident along that line. ; Some time ago, said Miss Billy, a certain young man got rather negligent in his courting duty, and it wasg not until after an absence of nearly a week that he finally presented himself at the home of his heart’s desire.
“1 wonder you came at all!” she petulantly exclaimed, not deigning to notice the five pounds of chocolates, and keeping to the piano stool where there wasn’t room for two. “Of course, you were called away on a business trip, and the wires all being down, you couldn’t notify me.” “No dear,” he answered, in his tenderest tones. “I haven't been away. 1 have been sick with dyspepsia, and the doctor told me not to come.” “What!” she cried in scornful amazement. “You had dyspepsia and the doctor told you not come because of that?” :
"It amounted to the same thing, dear,” he coofully responded. ‘“He told me to keep away from all sweets.” ; ;
Needed a Change. _ Mrs. Mason came from her eity bome to spend a few weeks in the country town where she had lived when a girl. One morning, while out for a walk, she met a man who in former days had been a school-mate, and stopped for a chat. : “Why, Charlie,” she said, “your father must be getting well on in years.” “Yes,” replied the man, “he’'s close on to eighty-nine.” “And does he enjoy good he‘altlg?” inquired the woman. ¢ "“No,” said the man, “he hasn’t been right pert for some time.” “What seems to be the trouble with him?" she asked. , “Well, I dunno,” 'was the answer. “I guess farmin’ don’t agree with him any more.”
According to Statistics. In London they tell of a man with a serious disease of the throat, who consulted a specialist. The surgeon recommended the removal of the larynx, an operation which the patient feared might prove dangerous. : ; The surgeon, however, smiled reassuringly, and said: : “Oh, no! You are quite sure to recover.” : : “But,” persisted the patient. “I understand that this sort of operation is very serious indeed.” A “My reason,” continued the surgeon, “for saying that you are sure to recover is this: The mortality is nineteen out of twenty, and I've had nineteen deaths already.” :
Greatest Chicken Farm. ' Meeches farm, Poole, England, is said to be the greatest chicken farm in the world. Experiments made there in the forcing of the growth of chickens by electrical influences are reported as showing remarkable results. In five weeks electrically treated chickens have attained the normal weight of chickens three months old. The experiments may have possible corollaries in the treatment of subnormai children.—The Outlook.

et S e i MUISANCES IN DAILY LIFE Many Pzople Who, Through Thoughth lessness, Allow Themselves to Be Guiity of Discourtesy. :
In the Woman’'s Home Companion appears an article entitled “Little Courtesies of Social Life,” in the course of which the author mentions, as follows, a few people who make nuisances of themselves: ‘ “Other discourtesies you meet in private as well as in-public. Do we not all know the mar or woman who takes up a book or paper and reads while others in the circle are talking? Do we not meet every day the persons who discuss together people and places and things they know and we don't? Does any one of us escape the trial of the interrupted who breaks in upon our bést story with an irrelevant remark, or who spnaps our most telling argument in two to interject comment, humorous or otherwise? Or of the chronic story-teller who can hardly wait for the conclusion of our anecdote because of his eagerness to cap it with one he believes better? We have all met just such people who have done these very things, thoughtlessly, no doubt, but not the less unpleasant for that reason. i “These and many others are always with us, and all are guilty of discourtesy and genuine bad breeding. The only way to eliminate them and their breaches of manners is by individual effort with ofxxrk‘gmilies, our friends—and ourselves.” ! |
IS WORLD’S LARGEST LATHE Immense Piece of Machinery Turned Out for Use of United States Government. - Those who live inland, and, in fact, all who are not fairly familiar with the large guns used for sea coast defense, can hardly appreciate the huge size of lathe necessary to turn and bore them. The lathe being designed and built by the United States Naval Gun shop at Washington, D. C., by the Niles-Bement-Bond company, at the Bement works, is the largest made. The lathe is so long that the preparations for its installation include the construction of a tunnel extending out under a highway, as there was not room for it between the walls of the shop. The lathe bed itself is 175 feet long and is made in five sections, but the total over-all length, including projections at the end of the bed, brings it up to 185 feet. . The main portion of the bed on which the carriages travel has three broad shears, the total width being 108 inches, or 9 feet, and the length 103 feet. The rest of the bed extends under what is called the boring bench, which has two shears. The total width of this is 62 inches and the length 75 feet. The weight of the machine complete with electrical equipment is 80€,000 pounds, or 400 tons.-—American Machinist.
- Children’s Valuable Find. A group of children playing in a plantation at Stoneclough, near Bolton, turned up a sod and uncovered what they thought was a valueless medal. They found others in the same way, and played at keeping shop with them. The coins were sovereign pieces of the early part of Queen ‘Victoria’s reign—the latest was dated 1852-—and the report getting about people hurried flocked to the plantation in search for more. A party.of colliers even deprived the children of their’'s with the tale that they were going to give them to the police. Altogether, it is thought, about fifty were collected, but the police, who when they heard of it went round the district collecting the coins, only regained about thirty of them. The explanation given is that in the early sixties of last century a Bolton manufacturer was robbed on the highway not far from the toll-bar which used to exist hereabouts. But as, according to local history, the highwayman got elear away and was never traced, it is difficult to imagine why he should have troubled to bury the money.
Love-Making Over the ’Phcne. Letter writing—love-letter writing—has degenerated into a despised necessity to be made use of when one is without the zone—either geographical or financial—of the telephone, local or long distance. A fluttering “Hello” traveling over hundreds of miles of Wire now produces more ecstasy in the manly breast than did tho old-fash-ioned scented note, written on pink paper and filled with pressed forget-me-nots and heartsease. And the maidenly heart, too, is stirred more quickly by the thought that somebody cared enough about her to spend $5 on a telephone call from the ends of the world than it is by the sight of a pile Q,letters two -inches high. : . There is no use bewailing this sad state of affairs. Doubtless Cupid can balance on a wire as well as he can hide in a scented envelope. f
: Hoods of the Colleges. “If you have taken a degree in divinity at Oxford,” you are entitled to ‘wear a red hood.” - : The speaker was Ethelbert Red, the Duluth psychologist. He continued: “Wearing a red hood myself. I take a natural interest in hood stories. There is one about a man Who complained to his bishop that So-and-So, though not of Oxford, was wearing a master’s hood. ; “‘And I call it, bishop,’ said the complainant bitterly, ‘wearing a lie on hig, back.’ S “*Oh, don’t use so strong a word as that,” said the bishop. ‘Just call it a false hood.'” %

Largest in History ' Actual retail deliveries of Studebaker and Erskine cars during Janu‘ary_ were the largest in Studebaker history and 58 per cent greater than for January 1927 according to a state ment issued today by A. R. Ersking president of The Studebaker Corporation. ' ’ The figures are based on retail deliveries to customers as reported by tStudebaker dealers throughout the country every ten days. Deliveries fol st‘he first two 10 day periods of the ‘month showed an incease of 51 per cent over the same period last yvear. The last 10 day period- registered ary increase of 70 per cent over the corresponding period of 1927 thereby indicating a steady upward thrend iy Studebaker business. That the January gain in sales is nation-wide is indicated by the fact that 22 out of 23 Studebaker branch territories in the United States contributed to the increase, ! ' §
