Making Light of , llurd.n.
The period of putting on spectacles is
often long deferred by middle aged peo
ple, who “hate to seem old,’ 1 or dislike
confessing to themselves that they have
reached one of the significant turning
points of life. People have, however,
different ways of accepting the inevit
able. One charming woman, who has
passed this visual limit, declares that
her comfort ia thereby daily increased.
“I was always so lazy!” she Bays.
“Nevertheless, I had to do a thousand
things I hated. Now when I go oat for
an afternoon I can leave my glasses at
home, and so, when I am asked to look
at photographs, try a new crochet stitch,
or read ’dear Mary Ann’s last letter,’ I
can refuse with a clear conscience. And
it is such a rest of mind and saving of
Another woman, and a very pretty
one, owns to a bit of tacit deception in
wearing her cross.
“1 try to put my glasses on with the
afar of having always worn them,” she
confesses. “I can’t help hoping that
people will think me near sighted from
childhood."
Bat a dear old gentleman, who can’t
see withoat glasses, actually goes to the
length of declaring that he doesn't need
them at all. He proves the cose by
standing at a distance from print and
reading it without difficulty.
“There's nothing the mutter with my
eyes,” he then explains humorously.
“The only trouble is, my arms aren't
long enough.—Youth's Companion.
Men Like Aprons.
It is a funny thing, but all men like
•peons. There is a something house
wifely about them that suggests good
dinners and sweet, considerate care.
Thu. coquette thoroughly understands
thia, and every season finds her armed
wtttixn apron or two with which she in-
.tends to quell mankind. The latest ope
is made of mummy cloth, quite plain,
and, gathered toJtt the waist to a broad
sfioh that is tied at toe Ladle. At the

An (1^ Is the Farmer's Friend.
Of all birds, from the farmers' stand
point, owls are the most useful. They
hunt silently and in the night, and are
nothing short of lynx eyed cats with
.wings. The benefit they confer upon
agriculturists is most incalculable, and
Is susceptible of proof. It is woll known
that owls bunt by night; but it may he
less a matter of common knowledge that,
like other birds of prey, they return by
the mouth hard indigestible parts of the
food in the form of elongated pellets.
These are found in considerable qnanti-
tits abont the birds’ haants, and on ex
amination of them reveals the fact that
owls prey upon a number of predaceous
creatures, the destruction of which Is
directly beneficial to man.
Of course the evidence gained in this
way is infallible, and to show to what
extent owls assist in preserving the bal
ance of nature it may be mentioned that
700 pellets examined yielded the remains
of 0 bats, 13 rats, 337 mice, 003 voles,
1,S90 shrews and S3 birds. Tbeso truly
remarkable results were obtained from
the common barn owl, and tho remains
of the 33 birds were those of 10 sparrows,
1 greenfinch and 3 swifts. Tho towny
and long eared owls of our woodlands
are also mighty tranters, and nn exam
ination of their pellets shows equally in
teresting evidence.—Cornhill Magazine.
Bargain Counter Hrimrtrr.
An early morning customer in a big
retail dry goods shop is apt to hear sorno
quaint talk among the clerks, who amuse
themselves by chaffing one another while
waiting for the active trade of tlie day
to begin. In an up town shop the other
morniug a customer beard tho follow
ing dialogue:
“Say, fanny?" from tho ribbon counter.
"What is it, ribbons?" from tho fun
counter.
“Why is it that y ou are 60 unpopular
with the ladies?”
“Clive it up.”
“Because in cold weather they don’t
fan—see, you?"
"Say. ribbons, why to your trade like
that of a granger?"
“Why to it?”
“Because so much of it to gros gtolh."

small children to be humane. A little

Caterpillar on the porch, and crushed it

Greek and Roman Stoves.
Warm as Greece and Romo and Egypt
are, stoves were made there in the dim
and mtoty vistas of the post. It was not
just the pattern used in Chicago at pres
ent, hut was a metal basin in which
charcoal was burned. It sat in the mid
dle of the room, and as the resulting
smoke was of the slightest no opening in
the roof or elsewhere was necessary.
The same implement, still called by its
old Greek nomo ot brazier, is still em
ployed in many portions of continental
Europe, where it is utilized for heating
aa well as cooking.
But the progressive Romans improved
on that and mode a hypocaust It was
the germ of the present furnoco. It was
madennder the house in a little cellar
prepared for it, and the heat was con
ducted to the rooms and baths through
crevices left in the floor and lower por
tions of the wall. Later fines were pro
vided, conducting heat to any portion of
the house. In some of the old Roman
villas in England the remains of these
old time fnrnuces are still found.—Chi

A llenmrkuble Phenomenon.
On Thursday, March ID, 1710, there
appeared at London, about 8 o'clock at
night, a “sudden great light moving ut
ter the manner but more slowly than a
falling star. It started from a point be
low Orion’s belt, then lying in the south
west, and went upward instead of down
ward like a falling star. Its size, ac
cording to the testimony of numerous
observers in Spain, France, Ireland, Hol
land and some parts of Germany, as well
as those who saw it in London and all
over England, was about that of the full
moon. It was of whitish color, with an
eye in the center ns blue as tho most
azure portion of a June sky after a thun
der storm. It went straight upward in
its course until out of sight, leaving a
track of fiery red sparks in its wake."—
