' '_ * r-.\ * ' ■ LITTLE NONSENSE. The Attorney Passed on to the Next Question. "And what is your age, madam ?” was the attorney’s question. "My own/’ she answered prompt ly* <C 1 understand that, madam. I mean how‘old are you?” fp> am not old, sir,” with indigna tion. "I beg your pardon, madam. I mean how many'years have you "None; the years have passed me.” "How many of them have passed you?”’ "All; I never heard of them stop- ping.” "Madam, you must answer my question. I want to know your age.” "I don’t know that the acquaint ance is desired by the other side.” "I don’t see why you insist upon refusing to answer my question,” said the attorney coaxingly. "I am sure I would tell how old I was if I were asked.” "But nobody would ask'you, for everybody knows you are old enough to know better than to be asking a woman hey age.” And the attorney passed on to the next question.— Nashville Ameri- ALL OVER THE HOUSE. Dangers That Follow In th^ Wake of Too Much Yentilatida. - When it comes to the matter of ventilation, the woman theorist sMnes.

DANGER AHEAD. year from too much fresh air than the re'cord from vitiated atmosphere can show. Not one person in a hun dred can sleep in the winter time with an open door in his room without bad consequences, or at least without running dangerous risks. Many more cases of pneu monia may reasonably be said to be due to "ventilation” than to all oth er causes combined. I recall the death of a trained nurse while on duty in the home of a neighbor from pneumonia contracted from sleep ing near an open window. As a graduate of one of the leading train ing schools she had thoroughly studied the subject of ventilation under supposably intelligent pro fessors. Yet she died in her youth from downright ignorance of the subject.—Ella Morris Kretsehmar in Woman’s Home Companion. UNDERDONE OATMEAL AND HOT BREAD. The Pug^—Say, I’m in a fix.

"Why don’t they start the per formance?” impatiently asked one of the spectators at the seance. "The medium says the room-is too cold,” replied some one who seemed to know. "I should think she could rap up,” grumbled the other, "and call for spirits.”—Chicago Tribune. SHORT lesson. Little Nephew—Is it true, uncle, that the bark grows thickest on one side of a tree? Old Uncle Groutt—Yuss. Nephew—Which side, uncle ? ' Uncle Groutt — The outside.— Exchange. EASY WORK FOR BILL. One of the magazine editors says that a poet, to do good work, should spend at least two years in perfect ing a sonnet. This moved a rural editor to exclaim: » "Bill Jones of our town wrote ten in one dav 1”—Atlanta Constitu tion. GALL. The Old Man-—Your love for my daughter seems to have grown very fast since you found out I was worth so much money. The Young Man (admiringly)— No faster, sir, than the,subject war ranted^—Detroit Free Press. The Scotch are the greatest dys peptics on earth, largely owing to their use of half cooked oatmeal and soft bread. Next to the Scotch are the Americans, and no single thing has contributed more to American dyspepsia that half cook ed oatmeal mush for breakfast. In rural France, where dyspepsia is practically unknown, hard bread and vegetables, with a very moder ate amount of meat, comprise the chief items of the bill of fare. Take the center out of a hot biscuit and roll it awhile in your hand, and it soon becomes a solid mass of dough —a "lead pill.” That is the thing your stpmach wrestles with when it attempts to digest hot bread or bis cuit. A good deal of the cold bread is just about as bad. Such food may be nutritious for the chap in the circus who relishes ground glass and eats swords and tenpenny nails, but it shortens the lives of average people.—Healthy Home. To The Deaf. A rich lady, cured of her deaf ness and noises in the head by Dr. Nicholson’s Artificial Ear Drums, gave $10,000 to his Instute, so that deaf people unable to pro cure the Ear Drums may have them free.
