Soil Enough.
Vincent Astor, at a luncheon in
New York, praised the neatness of
the American man’s dress.
“In the past, I have been told,” he
said, “the American was careless—a
little careless as to shaving, polish¬
ing his boots, and brushing his
clothes. But he is now as neat as his
English brother, who is acknowledged
to be the neatest man on earth.
“Apropos of the unbrushed clothes
of the past, there was an actor of the
old school type who appeared one
morning on the Rialto with a red rose
in his dingy coat.
“ ‘Where do you suppose I got this?’
he asked another actor, lifting his
lapel proudly.
“‘Oh, dear knows!’ the other an¬
swered, determined to escape a mash
tale. ‘Dear knows—unless it grew
there.’ ”
New Breakfast Food
Representative Mann of Chicago re¬
cently stopped to inspect some street
construction work in the Windy City.
His attention seemed to be particu¬
larly drawn to a large iron cylinder
that was being constantly turned over
a fire for the purpose of heating
gravel.
“What do you make of that, Mann?”
asked a friend who chanced along
just then.
“I think they must be rolled peb¬
bles,” answered Mr. Mann. “Some
new kind of breakfast food adapted
for those Italian immigrants.”
An Easier Job.
“An easy job will suit me, sena¬
tor.”
“How about winding the clocks
every week?”
“I might make that do. But what’s
the matter with my tearing the leaves
off the calendar every month?”

Threw Wooden Shoes at Bride.
In the shower of missiles hurled
after the wedded pair something
struck the settlement worker with
stinging force. “What on earth!” she
exclaimed; then quickly added: “A
wooden shoe! Who ever heard ol
throwing a wooden shoe at a bride?”
“Most everybody who has attended
weddings in this part of town has
heard of it,” said the officiating curate.
“It is the custom here to throw wood¬
en shoes because at some time in her
life nearly every bride has worn a
pair. For the present generation they
were not her Sunday shoes, nor her
evening dress shoes, nor even her ev¬
eryday street shoes, hut around the
house and maybe to the nearby shops
in rainy weather she has clattered
around often enough in wmoden shoes
to justify having a pair thrown at her
for old time’s sake.”—Boston Herald,
Albino Puzzle.
The albino is still one of the puz¬
zles of science. Beyond the knowl¬
edge that albinism is due to a lack ol
the normal pigment in skin and hail
the physiologist and pathologist are
about as much at sea regarding the
real explanation of this freak of na¬
ture as they were a hundred or a
thousand years ago. As to the ulti¬
mate why of the problem—why the
pigment is missing in the albino—
there is nothing but a collection ol
unconvincing guesses. Regarding the
statistics of albinism nothing satis¬
factory is obtainable except in two
countries. In Italy the albinos num¬
ber about one in every twenty thou¬
sand of the population, whereas in
Norway the rate is twice as high,
with one in every ten thousand.
Carborundum in Furnaces.
Carborundum, the artificial substi¬
tute for emery, which is said to rival
the diamond in hardness, is employ¬
ed, because of its extraordinary re¬
sistance to heat, as a coating for the
interior of furnaces. Finely powdered
and made into a paste, it is applied
with a brush, like paint, to the brick
lining. It is said that a layer of only
two mllimeters in thickness will pro¬
tect the bricks from the effects of the
highest temperature that is produced
in ordinary furnace combustion.
Carborundum is itself a product of
the electric furnace, being composed
of silica and carbon fused in the pres¬
ence of salt and sawdust.—Harper’s
Weekly.
Debutante Captures Thieves.
Philadelphia.—Racing two blocks,
Miss Sophia Dilles, a society debu¬
tante, caught two youths, recovered
her velvet handbag and turned the
two young thieves over to a police¬
man
Her Reward.
The cook for a well-known Seattle
family left, and no other could be ob¬
tained, so the lady of the house did
the cooking herself, with such satis¬
factory results that, after a month,
her husband gave her a beautiful set
of sables as a token of his apprecia¬
tion of the good dinners he had en¬
joyed.
Of course the neighbors soon heard
of this, and when the cook left in an¬
other equally well-known family the
lady of that house said to her hus¬
band:
‘ Well, the cook has
gone and I’m
not going to bother to get another.
I m going to do the cooking myself,
deary. You heard what Mr. So-and-So
gave his wife when she did the cook¬
ing?”
And, putting her arms round his
neck, she cooed: “What shall 1 get
for my cooking?”
“Woman,” said her husband, push¬
ing her away, “you will get a long,
black veil!”—Saturday Evening Post.
In the Profesh.
A negress, very fat and well along
in years, sauntered into the lobby of a
Broadway theater the other day and
asked for the manager.
What can I do for you, mammy?”
asked the manager.
1 want a ticket into the gallery,
boss,” she replied calmly.
“But why should I give you a tick¬
et?”
“Cos I’m a retired actress.”
“You? What did you do?” inquir¬
ed the other in amusement.
“I played in Antony and Cleo¬
patra.’ I was fan-bearer for Miss
Fanny Davenport.”
One Good Deed to Her Record.
Tsi An, the late empress of China,
has not always been regarded as a
model of the gentler virtues, and yet
there is a story to the effect that
each year on her birthday she was in
the habit of buying from her own pri¬
vate purse 10,000 captive birds and
setting them free, praying to the gods
as she opened each cage that they
might not be caught again.
Simple and Forcible.
Sir Richard Jebb, the eminent phy¬
sician, was a man of irritable temper,
and when bored by the querulous com¬
plaints of some of his patients could
not always force himself to return a
civil answer. A troublesome patient,
whose illness was purely imaginary,
pestered him one day with questions
as to what he should eat.
“My directions on that point,” said
Sir Richard, “will be few and simple.
You must not eat the shovel, poker, or
tongs, for they are hard of digestion;
nor the bellows, for they are windy;
but anything else you please!”
