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.

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.” Deep Philosophy.

Every man knows what to do with the things he hasn’t got. Even a sure-thing gambler is apt to lose in the matrimonial game. Almost any pretty girl can bring out the silliness in a man’s makeup. If a man could only discover why a woman Is a mystery she wouldn’t be. At the age of seventeen a girl knows more about love than a man ever will know. Haven’t you ever wished your running expenses would slow down to a walk? After saying “I don’t want to find fault,” the average man proceeds to pick a flaw. —Chica- go Daily News. 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.
