GREAT WORK
With a view to guiding the cook to

•he had worn the. previous summer,
Mrs. Smith spoke of some violets she
had seen in a milliner’s window.
‘They’re almost exactly like those
In our garden, Mary,” she said.
“You’ve seen those often.”
“Indeed I____have, -mum," returned
Mary. 'I was after waterin' them
this very mornin’. Ain’t it wonderful,
mum, how natural the Lord can make
them?”—The Continent.'
Exchange of Favor*
“What right have you to ask me for
a kiss? Leave this house immediate
ly and never speak to me agate.”
"Before I leave, never to see you
again, may I ask one favor?”
What is it?"
<i Will you please take your arm
away from my neck?”
Cuba likes eggs from American
hens and buys 40 per cent of all
that we ship, while Canada and
Mexico each take 20 per cent.

Music of the Orient
. Harsh and Strident
The idea as to what real music reully
is varies according to race and en
vironment. Music of the Orient is apt
to jar upon sensitive occidental ears.
Take the question of drums as an in
stance. The playing of drums in Euro
pean ’ orchestras has reached a high
standard of art, though it is rare that
more than three or four are used. In
a Burmese orchestra, however, the two
principal instruments are one made of
a series of drums called the seing
weing and a similar series of gongs
called the kyee or "gongs^gradnated in
size, the drums being played with the
fingers and hands and the gongs with
knobsticks. Besides these there are
cymbals, tom-toms and castanets’, the
last-named being much larger than the
European instruments and made of
bamboo. Of wind instruments there
are only a number of clarinets and one
flute played by the leader or conduc
tor. String instruments are not used,
and there are also no brass instru
ments.
Pleasant for Auntie
Little Margaret was spending a holi
day with her aunt in Cornwall. Now,
auntie was a spinster, and not in the
first bloom of youth. In fact, an un
kind person had once been heard to
refer to her as “old.” and we believe
the other word used was “cat.” Any
how, she was not young.
Auntie was determined to give her
little niece a good time, and she ar
ranged several pleasure trips in order
to give Margaret a chance of appreci
ating tlie beauties of the Cornish
scenery.
“When I take you to St. Ives I will
show you the school that I went to
when I was a little girl,” promised
kind auntie one day when they were
out for a walk.
“Oh, auntie, is it still here?” asked
the child, innocently. “I expect it’s in
ruins now, isn't it?”—London Answers.
Insect-Eating Plant
An insect-eating plant is the sun
dew, so called because Of a shining
sticky substance secreted by glands
in the sunlight like a rare gem, says
the Detroit News. By means of the
sticky mess, the sundew attracts and
entangles its prey. Then the edges
of the leaf curve inward, forming a
sort of stomach Into which an acid
secretion is poured to digest the meal.
The portions which cannot be digested
are later thrown out and the trap is
set for the next victim.
The sundew seems to know when
food is near, for if meat is placed
close to it the plant slowly reaches
out for It. If a portion Is placed
within a few. inches of the plant the
leaf will bend toward it until the tiny
hairs enfold the delicacy and the
sticky substance completes the grip.
Oldest Work of Fiction
“The Tale of Two Brothers," so far
as anyone now knows, is the oldest
existing piece of fiction. It was writ
ten 32 centuries ago by Ennna, a scribe
of Thebes, who was librarian in the
palace of King Mnnepta, identified by
some as the pharaoh who held the
Israelites in bondage.
The tale, which Is written on 19
sheets of papyrus, appears to have
been Invented to entertain the oldest
ot the princes who subsequently as
cended the Egyptian throne. This
strange old manuscript now reposes in
the British museum, where it is known,
as the “D’Orbiney papyrus.”
Another old book, written more than
a thousand years ago, mentions twp
breeds of poultry which are still being
raised to China today.
, History of Loving C a.
All racing cups are not nec iy
loving cups. A loving cup is one hav
ing two or more handles, generally
constructed of silver. The custom of
the loving cup Is traced back to the
days of wnssailing. It was continued
after the Introduction of Christianity.
The monks called the wassail bowl the
U poculum caritatl8,*’ meaning “loving
cup.” The ceremony of drinking from
one cup and passing it around was 6b
served in the Jewish paschal supper.
