A youth of IV was receiving unemployment dole and was offered employment at a publichouse bar at wages commencing at $7.50 a week and three meals a day. The youth said he was a tee totaller, and refused the offer, whereupon his unemployment dole was stopped oil .the grounds that he 'unreasonably refused a job offered to him." TheCourt, of Referees refused his application for resumption of his dole, but when he put the case before an umpire under the Unemployment Insurance Act it was ordered resumed without further delay.

Ghost Ship Said to Roam the North Sea The North sea Ims a Flying Dutch man of its own—a sort of ghost ship whose appearance Is superstltiously regarded by sailors as an omen of ill fortune, if not of death, to the beholder. Ii was first reported by a British \\;u convoy that left a Norwegian port in November,* 1917. Lieutenant Commander Fox of the Alary Rose counted twelve ships as they passed out of eight of land. Later an enemy raider attacked tlie convoy. When Commander Fox counted the convoy again there were thirteen. Other idlicers on the Mary Rose continued Dtp iHimbt'i No one had seen the ii ateenih - ip join the convoy. One moment'there was blue sea sparkling behind the twelfth ship; the next tlie stranger was speeding along with the rest—a somewhat rusty craft whose name had been so obliterated by long service at sea that It could not be made out. When the raider's attack began the etranger was still with the convoy. When the enemy had been driven off the stranger had vanished as mysteriously as she had appeared. The Mary Rose was lost in the skirmish.„ The North sea phantom has 'appeared, according to its growing legend, several times since then, each time as the precursor ol ill fortune to the beholder. She Is said to be a small warship or again a rusty freighter, a battered schooner or a small sea woru liner. But however she is reported, North sea sailormen believe she bodes no good. Ink Blot Spelt Ruin for Engineering Firm A big British engineering firm put In a bid for building a great bridge, tv r a foreign government. The head’ of (he business spent six months in getting out plans. Ilis bid was accepted, the material bought In great quantities, men engaged, and machin ery built A time limit was set for the commencement and finish of the bridge, and one day the chief was sitting at his desk perfecting his plans and piaking sure of the smallest details, when he accidentally upset an Inkpot and drowned his most Important pa pers in a black sea. In a fever of anxiety he tried to reconstruct his plans from stray notes.. It was impossible, and he then cabled j the foreign government begging for more time. This was refused and thej contract repudiated. The loss drove | the firm into bankruptcy.

The Ninth Scout Law A Cornish correspondent sends me, the following amusing experiences whilst he was running a troop of boy scouts in India: "I was testing a small Eurasian boy, twelve years old, for the ‘Tenderfoot’ badge and said: “ ’What Is the ninth scout law?’ “‘Sir, a scout Is thrlftee.’ “ 'What does thrifty mean?’ “ T know what It means, sir.’ “ ‘Well, then, what does It mean? “‘Well, sir (hesitating). It means' that It Is veree slllee to spend anee monee on a girl.’ ” This Is one way of looking at it, but I should like to hear the views of the girl. Not a girl guide, however. They are too Independent.—London Post Catchy Line Jones Is an angler who uses only the higher and more expensive paraphernalia of his art. One day he was standing on the shore of a lake casting his flies without success, when along came a native with a good string of trout. After watching Jones’ vain! efforts for a few minutes the newcomer ventured: "Why don’t you try worms?" “Worms!” said Jones disgustedly. “My good fellow, you and I don’t use! the same language.” “Mebbe not, mister,” said the other, quietly, as he held up his catch, “but I reckon the fish understand me bet-! ter when I drop ’em a line.”—Van-! conver Province. Prehistoric Medicine Tubes of soft soapstone used- by a; prehistoric Indian shaman, of medi-! cine man, to heal the sick have been unearthed near San Diego, Calif., says. Science. First blowing clouds of smoke through these tubes over the body of! a patient, the medicine man pretended he could see into the body. The patient was told he had been bewitched by an enemy who had injected into his body a magical substance which changed into a toad, snake, rock or other object. Having located the object, the shaman pretended to pluck it out, producing as evidence, by sleight-} of-hnnd, the offending substance. Excusable Error The story described Its heroine as a dunipling sort of woman. The teacher paused and asked for a description of a woman of that kind. “She would be rather tall and thin,” suggested a pupil. “No," the teacher explained, “the lady would be short and plump—like a dumpling." “Oh, yes,” said the youngster. “I was thinking of a noodle.” We’re Poets at Heart Though we may believe ourselves Intensely practical, we think in terms of poetry.
