WHEN MOTHER WAS A GIRL
She Was Just the Same as Her Ultra
Modern Daughter in the
Way of Gadding.
Mother finally became tired of the
way daughter was acting, according
to a writer in the Fort Worth Star
Telegram, and she said to her: “You
never do anything but gad about.
When I was your age I tried to take
some of the work off my poor moth
er’s back. I didn’t want to spend all
my time with some silly, giggling girl
like that chum of yours.” After lis
tening to this, daughter went to grand
ma and said to her: “You must have
had an awfully easy time when mam
ma was growing up. She stayed at
home almost all the time, and helped
you with the cooking, milking, wash
ing and other work.” Then said grand
ma: “She helped me with the work?
I’d like to know when she helped
me. Day and night, week in and week
out, she was running around with
some silly girl, and she never once
turned her hand to help me with any
thing. I made every stitch of her
clothes, did all her washing and ironed
every rag she ever wore. Now, w T hen
I was a girl I really worked. In my
time girls didn’t run around like they
did in your mother’s day.”
FALLING NOT CAUSE OF DEATH
Theory That Heart Stops Beating Be
fore Body Touches the Ground,
Is a Mistake.
It is quite a mistake to think that
when a person falls from a great
height his heart stops before even his
body touches the ground. Breathing
may be suspended for a few minutes,
but if artificial respiration is applied
at once, life can be restored in many
cases. This was proved in Chicago
when a girl fell a distance of 200 feet,
with no more serious results than
some fractured bones and a few in
ternal injuries. She compares her
sensations whil& falling to the faint
ness one feels when traveling down
wards in a jerky elevator. It was
only in the moment of landing that
she lost consciousness. Doctors as
sert that such accidents would not so
often prove fatal if artificial respira
tion were more generally tried. Just
because the patient’s pulse is not beat
ing it is a fatal error to think he
must therefore be dead. Treat him
as you would a man rescued from
drowning, and in nine cases out of
ten you will save his life.

Big Toad in Little Puddle.
Shortly after Will Crooks, the labor
leader, was elected to parliament he
took his little daughter to Westmin
ster. She was evidently awed at the
splendors round her, and maintained
a profound and wondering silence all
the time, Mr. Crooks was much im
pressed.
“Well," said he to her at last, “what
are you thinking so deeply about,
dear?”
“I was thinking, daddy,” answered
the little girl, “that you’re a big man
in our kitchen, but you aren’t very
much here.”
Increase Silk Production.
In German silk culture experiments,
feeding with leaves of a species of
comfrey is expected to produce four or
five crops of cocoons a year instead of
the one from mulberry leaves. Consul
C. A. Dan.in, however, forecasts the
failure of the attempt to create a silk
industry for war invalids and cripples,
on account of difficulties of spinning
and a cost of the product likely to ex
ceed that of the imported raw silk.
Urgent.
Just as the Christmas dinner was on
the table, and the family had gathered
about it, big sister stepped into the
hall to look at her hair in the mirror
there.
Helen was hungry, and everything
did look and smell so good, and yet
she knew well that father would not
say grace until big sister was also in
her seat.
“Hurry up, Ruth,” she called. “God’s
waiting.”

Why He Was Sick.
A mother whose son was sentenced
to the Marion county workhouse re
cently from juvenile court, entered
court a few days ago, and said that
she wished to speak to Judge Frank
J. Lahr in regard to her son, says the
Indianapolis News.
“Judge,” said the woman, “I was out
at the workhouse yesterday, and my
boy tells me he is not getting enough
to eat. I think something ought to be
done about it.”
Judge Lahr assured the woman that
the son’s assertion could not be true,
but when she insisted, he culled the
superintendent by telephone and in
quired.
“Hold the phone a minute,” said the
superintendent, “and I’ll look him up.”
“Hello, judge,” finally came back
over the wire, “that man is working
as a cook, and is sick today from eat
ing too much at his work.”
Noiseless Car Wheels.
A noiseless car wheel lias been de
signed by Edwin C. Madden, formerly
assistant postmaster general, which is
asserted to huve a number of impor
tant advantages over the old-fashioned
wheel. It consists of two wheels, one
within the other, and separated from
each other by means of a rubber fill
ing. The combination takes up all vi
bration and shock, so that the noise is
reduced to almost nothing. Some of
these wheels have been in use on a
trolley line at Portland, Me., for near
ly a year, and the degree of success
which has attended their use has re
sulted in declaring the invention a
success.

PROVED STOVE ALL RIGHT
But This Clerk Will Not Attempt the
Same Method on Another
Bride.
There conies a time in the lives of
men—and young men at that —when
they do not wish any more biscuits.
Thus it happened that Columbus young
man who is employed in a house fur
nishing store lias had'his desires sat
isfied. lie went to the home of a
young married woman in Columbus to
superintend the Job of erecting u new
range. The Job was finished in good
style, but the young man was not en
tirely satisfied.
“You know,” he suggested, “I’d like
to be sure that this stove will bake
before I go back to the store. I be
lieve you ought to make up a batch of
biscuit dough and try some biscuits.
If you don’t have good luck, then I’ll
see what’s the matter with the stove."
The young- wife said she was entirely
too busy at that time to bake biscuits,
Rut the clerk sat around and argued.
Suddenly sh(> rolled up her sleeves and
went to work. In a little while she
had a pan of biscuits in the oven, the
clerk having built a fire in the stove.
After while the biscuits were baked.
The young woman set a pound of but
ter and 10 biscuits before the clerk.
“Now, pat’thqse. biscuits.” she com-
manded. 'if you don’t eat nil of them
I wiII know there Is something the
matter with the stove, and you can
take It back to the store where It
came from.”
The clerk, It is said, although no
sworn affidavit is given, ate 10 bis
cuits, and now he knows how the fel
low feels who started in to eat a quail
u day and fell down on the task.
Argentine’s Wine Production.
The argentine republic does not fig
ure In most people’s minds as a wine
growing country, yet some of Its prov
inces boast of wine-growing us a lead
ing industry und the output during re
cent yeurs has increased rapidly. The
Argentine vintage now averages about
180,000,000 gallons u yeur, of which
the province of Mendoza produces
about four-fifths. In 1905 the total
output of the republic was some 10,-
000,000 gallons, less than one-third of
what it is now.

“A good fairy touched you on your

“Umph!” replied the sophisticated
summer girl, “have It that way If you
like, but the person who did the Job
was a beauty doctor, und be charged
me an outrageous fee.”
