Local Stores Are Afttractive The business houses about town are strikingly attractive with large displays of Christmas goods and Christmas shoppers. can do weli to look over the extensive lines thiat are on display. It is always wise fo he an early Christmas shopper but such tew people are. It 'is but natural to wait until a short time, before o hristmas and then hustle in to look around but the wise shopper visits the stores early and has a very extensive iisplay of goods to look over. It is the etrly shoppers who have the choice selections to draw on, , Celluloid Comb Nearly Fatal, A celluloid comb with which a 3-year-old’ child of Mr. and Mrs. William Lehunt was playing caught fire and nearly caused death to the child and mother at Dublin.

Médt Made Tender by | Juice of Tropical Tree

‘The toughest heefsteak may be rend dered ‘as tender and dclicious as thd cholcest porterhouse if one will carry with him wherever he dines a bottle off papaw tree juice and rub it on his meat. The papaw is a peculiar tree of northern South America and other tropical regions, where the natives use Its juice In this way to improve their meat. It also has a number of other peculiarities, says a bulletin issued by the Fleld Museum of Natural History, Chicago. e

The papaws are definitely divided into two sexes, with distinet characterIstics, whereas In most plants and trees each ilndividual is equipped to reproduce Itself alone, possessing hoth the male and female organs.” Among the papaws, of which there are some twenty-seven species, the male and female flowers are produced on separate trees, the male flowers occurring in long scattered racomes, »nd the female ones in short, small bundles. :

Another peculiarity of the papaw is that the juice of the plants contains fibrine, a substance which so far as known exists elsewhere only in animai flesh. This, however, cannot be regarded as establishing a link between the animal and vegetable kingdoms in the chain of evolution, botanists declare. - :

Delve Into Secrets of ' : Island of Madagascar

A great deal of mystery surrounds the picturesque Island of Madagascar. It appears to be the lumber room of an old continent, but which, or perhaps better, where is the continent, asks a correspondent: “Some think that DMadagascar has broken away from its mother continent, Africa; others that it iz one of the relics of a hypothetical continent, ‘Lemuria,’ which existed long ago in the Indian ocean between Africa and I[ndia.” This i 3 not, as the casual reader might think, a passage from some romance of the lost iands of the world. It is merely an extract from an official document, circulated by the British museum to call attention to the fact that an expedition is now at work in Madagascar seeking the solution of some of its riddles. It is not, then, beyond the bounds of possibility that the gscientists may yet send the world authentic tidings of a lost continent.

The Culprit

“My dear,” remarked Mr, Pitt, as he sat at breakfast one morning, “l think there was a burglar in the house last night.” ‘ . : “Why do you think that?’ asked his loving wife, : “Well,” said he, “I left a lot of money in my pockets before 1 went to bed last night, but there’s none there now.” :

“That’s your own fault,” she replied snappily. “You should have got up and shot the person., If you hadn't been such a coward, you wouldn’t have fost your money.” “Yes, perhaps you're right, my dear; but then I didn’t wamt to become a widower.”—London Weekly Telegraph,

Looking Backward

There were some strange peoples in prehistoric Kentucky. Scieuntists in digging deep 'ln Kentucky soil are said to have discovered evidence of two distinct groups of human beings existing in different ages and at different levels. One race buried its dead In stone chambers whilst another had granite altars for human sacrifice and burned their dead In pits of masonry. At any rate they seem to have had means of making fire, although they were here 10,000 years before cigar lghters were introduced. This is a darned sight older country than we think and men with shovels turn up many surprises.—Los Angeles Times. ] It Hurt : Ellen Terry, to everybody’s surprise, left $120,000. A New York actress was talking about her. “Her wit was sharp,” the actress sald. “Sometimes it was too sharp. It hurt, - *She and I and three or four other actresses were standing behind the scenes at a benefit in a Broadway theater one afternoon. A young and pretty actress said uncertainly: ' #¢ don't think I'll sing, after all I'm sure they don’t expect me. “‘lndeed they do espect you, darling,’ said Ellen Terry. ‘Don’t you see them all leaving? "

Soived ; : Four-year-old Bobby, perched on his father’s knee in the crowded bus, looked hard at the stout, gaudilydressed woman as she bustled in, sniffed contemptuously, and wedged herself into the only seat left, - : Then he turned to his mother, “Mum,” he said, loudly, “it’s a lady.” “Hush, Bobby, dear,” mother checked him; “we know.” : ; S YBut, mummy”—Bobby was puzzled —“you just sald to dad, ‘Whatever’s! this object comin’ In?” g
