Helps With the Lessons
. At night when the children gather around
the sitting-room table studying their lessons for
the next day, the telephone often rings. A little
neighbor a mile down the road wants help from
his school-mates. Children as well as grown-ups
get pleasure and profit from the farm telephone.
Do you know how little this service costs and how
valuable it is ? :

GREETING THE WRONG MAN
Cases of Mistaken Identity That Have
Been Chronicled by a
Collector.
Scrapbook keepers and chroniclers
of odd things who are on the alert to
increase the store of interest grip
pers are able to list no end of mis
takes made by prominent men at vari
ous times and places. One of these
collectors has gathered incidents that
might easily make 200. pages of an
ordinary book. He insists that all are
as true as—well as true as anything
can be that you hear about.
According to this collector, says the
New York Sumn, there's a Brooklyn
clergyman who went over to Newark
to fill a pulpit one Sunday and grested
three men as the pastor of the church
he was to preach in before he shook
hands with the right man. One or two
deacons and other members were wait
ing for him in the vestibule when he
arrived.
He thought he knew a minister
when he saw one. so he put out his
hand with a “Glad to meet you, doc
tor,” only to find it wasn't the pastor.
Then he looked from one to the other
and stretched out a hand to the sec
ond man, scoring another mistake.
Finally, inside the church on the way
to the pulpit, he was sure the minis
terial-looking man who advanced
toward him was the pastor, and so he
greeted him that way. But it was a
trustee.
An insurance solicitor, top notcher,
of one of the big companies, called on
a prospective risk at his Riverside
drive residence one evening to nail
him for a policy. He talked eloquently
and at length. When it came to sign
ing his man he found he had been
talking to a nephew of the same man.
The nephew was already insured, but
had listened because he was interest
ed in insurance.
The scrapbook man has a great
number of clips to prove that slouch
ily dressed Gen. U, S. Grant was re
peatedly mistaken for some third
class subaltern. Dispatch bearers
who had never met the general often
galloped up to headquarters and were
directed to a group of officers of which
Grant was one. Often the papers
were handed the most nattily dressed
or the most pompous appearing officer
in preference to Grant.
A droll-minded, little, inconsequen
tial-looking man of London used to
take great delight in inviting promi
nent men to visit him and see the
mistakes they made in supposing
somebody else was he. Hearty greet
ing would be half finished betore they
would discover the mistake. The little
man was a famous Egyptologist and
used to send out his invitations ip an
cient hieroglyphics, which may ac
count for the upsetness of the visitors.
The cases are numerous in which
in visits of ceremony at courts and
among naval commanders of warships
of different nations in harbor ridicu
lous mistakes in identity have been
made. A French admiral is reported
to have put forth his most formal
greeting to a marine officer on board
the ship he was visiting, supposing he
was the commander in a newly de
signed uniform. At a detached sur
render of troops in the Russian-Japan
ese war a Russian commander very
formally offered his sword to a war
correspondent.
Gold-Pla*»d Door Knobs!
In some of the $25,000 a year flats
on Fifth avenue, New York, the hard
ware is gold plated. Hinges, window
brackets, fixtures, door handles, key
plates, hinges are all treated with
gold before being placed in position.
All that is required to keep gold in
fine condition is *a slight rubbing
with a piece of dry leather. No
polish is necessary and the woodwork
near this yellow hardware is never
tarnished.
Silver plating on white metal is
used on the trim in the dining room.
Nine coats of paint are s‘t)read on the
walls of the dining rooms in these
magnificent flats, the same care being
used as with the paneling of a motor
car. The walls, instead of being highly
glazed, have a soft, silky finish.
Hen in Ostrich Class.
Even the hens of Winsted like to
do unusual things. Rolland Wilson
has a Rhode Island red with an es
pecial dislike for the old-fashioned
life. The other day this hen, which
is a year old, made up her mind not
only to win fame for herself, but to
add new fame to the village of her
birth. She achieved her purpose by
laying an egg the like of which never
has been seen here.
As a matter of actual measurement
the egg's two circumferences are
eight and one-fourth and seven and
one-fourth inches. It weighs five
ounces. Poultry authorities will move
to Missouri before they pass on any
contentions for this record as the
mark for the year.—Winsted (Conn.)
Dispatch to New York World.
Meeting the Emergency.
Ore day Jcnes lost a hutton from
his serge coat, and on leaving for the
office on the following morning he
asked little -bridie if she wouldn’t re
pair the damage during the day. Lit
tie bridie, of course, sweetly prom
ised.
“Where are you, Harry?"’ called the
yvoung wife on hearing hubby rambling
around the house that evening. “What
are you looking for?”
“I am looking for my blue serge
coat,” answered Harry. “Did you sew
on that button?” ;
“No, dear,” came the startling re
joinder of wifey. ‘I couldn’t find the
button so I sewed up the buttonhole.”
NORWAY'S PERIOD OF GLORY
Deeds of Norsemen in Teanth and
Eleventh Centuries Marked Flow
ering Time of Nation.
One of the features of the celebra
tion of Norway's centennial was a stone
carved with old runic characters. It
svas found in Nova Scotia more than
a century ago, but for a long time
no one could read the roughly carved
runes. This was done at last by an
American scholar, who found that the
inscription was cut by a Norse ex
ploring party that left Greenland in
the summer of 1007 A. D.. bound for
the coast of New England. They
landed in Nova Scotia on their way,
aud left this record of their trip.
What a glimpse this gives us of the
daring spirit of those old pioneers of
the sea!
The world has never seen a braver
breed of sailors than the Norsemen
of the tenth and eleventh centuries.
They pushed their voyages of plunder
and discovery from the rocks of New
England to the delta of the Nile. They
seated their chieftains on half the
thrones of Europe. They harried ev
ery civilized coast within reach, and
barbaric «shorelands they settled, o,
at least, explored, There is even some
ground for believing that a party of
Swedes and Norwegians penetrated as
far inland as Minnesota, doubtless by
way of the great lakes.
It was the flowering time of a na
tion, expressed in terms of daring and
adventure, rather than in art, litera
ture or civilization; but while it lasted
it was one of the wonder epochs of the
world,

FEEL LOSS’O‘f:' TI:lE FORESTSI
Enormous Amount of Soil Carried
Away by the Rivers Is Distinct |
Damage to Agriculture. |
When the soil is carried away from!
one place it goes to another, it'is not |
dissolved and lost. The United States ‘
geological survey has made an esti- |
mate of the amount of silt carried byl
a number of rivers in the ommtry.l'
and, with the exception of the !\Hssis-l
sippi and the Missouri, the Tennessee
river stands at the head of the lis(.l
the estimate being 11,000,000 tons per |
annumn. |
Whenever the water in the rlver‘
is turbid it is made so by contribu- |
tions from the soil adjacent to the,
river and its tributaries. So 9\'9l‘_&';
time the river waters are muddy they |
are made so by soil erosion. It is|
hardly necessary to discuss thesei‘
things in their relations to agricul
ture. It is easily seen that the enor-!
mous amount of soil that is carriedl
into the streams into the oceans and'
the gulf, is that much done for the'
tmpoverishment of the land. l
As the forests in our hill country
have been denuded. erosion has grown '
worse. The farmers of this East Ten
nesses section would have been vastly ;
better off today ' than they are, had |
they left the timber standing on the
hills. The timber was wasted, and
with it removed, the soils have bee_,nq
wasted to the extent that what is
left is unproductive.—Knoxville Jour:
nal and Tribune. {
How to Keep Young. |
Beauty and youth come and go with
health. The bad habits and false con
ditions which destroy the latter ren
der the former impossible. |
Youthfulness of form and feature |
depend upon youthfulness of fmalings.!
If you would retain youthful looks you
must do nothing that will make you
feel old.
Here is the great secret of youth:
To lead a normal life; to enjoy living
and doing; to keep on thinking yourg
thoughts and doing young things—
exercise, dancing and singing—and,
above all, do not utter the expression,
“getting on in years.” That very
thought is aging.
Keep happy by making others happy
around you. You are never too old to
Join in all fun and folly. Be of the
world, not just hanging on the edge
of it. Keep interested in the things
of the time.
No one ever gets younger by find
ing . fault. Be an optimist in all
things.
Eridget Misunderstood.
“Now, Alice,” said Mrs. Bounce to
her newest domestic, “while I'm out
just pare the potatoes and get them
ready. I shall not be long gone.”
About an hour later Mrs. Bounce
came back from her shopping expedi
tion, bringing the meat that was des
tined to accompany the potatoes to
the dinner table. Alice was calmly
seated on the floor, and around her
a goodly collection of the delectable
tubers.
“Good gracious!” exclaimed the hor
rified mistress. “What in the name of
all that's wonderful are you doing?”
“Doin’, ma'am?” replied the fair
maid-of-all-work. "“Doin’ what ye told
me. Indeed, I've done the best [ could,
t 00.” © Then she pointed” to the pota
toes. “I've pared off all of 'em, ma'am,”
she munibled, “but try as I will, I can’t
find a mate for this liftle beggar.”
Gumdrops. ; ,
An old man in Indianapolis, who has
lost all his teeth, takes his “toothless
ness” philosophically.
It is difficult for him to articulate
as he did in the days of his vouth,
and he admits that gums are not quite
as useful as teeth when it comes to
talking.
In fact his sole dependence on his
gums in his cid days has led him to
refer to his misfortune cheerfully by
calling his words “gumdrops.”
