I have always said Office holders should be elected for life (subject, of course, to im peachment for neglect or dishonesty); Then they could give their work all of their time, instead of worry ing about how to stay in, and that would do away en tirely with the biggest so cial problem we have to face in this country. And that is the thousands of Individuals who go through life just try ing to get in office. If we could get their mind off of fices, and get 'em to working at something useful. But what's the use talking about a Heaven on earth. We got to die to get rid of the Office seeker, and then I bet you we will find them, either wanting to have Saint Peter impeached, or to get a job as Superintendent of the Fur nace.

They go out on a calm moonlight night and row >about until they notice a spot where the water is ruffled. This means that a shoal of red snapper is on the sur face. Rowing to the spot one of the men begins boating on the side of the boat with a wooden elub. The fish are ter rified and Jump high Into the air, and some at least are sure to fall Into the boat. From a d<?*/en to twenty may be caught out of one shoal, and slnee they Hre big fish, weighing from two to five pounds apiece, the take is well worth having. The writer has seen mullet taken In similar fashion off the Florida coast. The boat, however, went out on a dark night and was provided with a strong flare iu (lie bows. Then the surface of the water was beaten with the oar blades and t he mullet Jumped In scores, quite a number falling in the boat nets Stretched tn receive them. Told of Crime in Sleep Talking In bis sleep, a man In Cey lon furnished the police with a clue which has led to the arrest of several men as murderers. An English planter was killed on his estate by five or six natives, it seemed for some time that the mystery of their Identity would never he solved, .lust when the police were beginning to despair of finding any clue whatever, they discovered a man sleeping near the scene of the murder, and talking lo bis sleep. What he said was so astounding that the police stopped fo listen. As a result of what they heard, they obtained suffi cient evidence to later aiTest the man who had so unwittingly furnished the clues and four other men who had taken part in the crime.

Word 44Sleet" Used to Convey Many Meanings The word "sleet" has three distinct mornings in the Kngllsh speaking world, says Nature Magazine. In Kng land it is nearly always applied to a mixture of snow and rain, and the same usage prevails to some extent In this country. ' ? Again, a great many Americans, in cluding most engineers, have long ap plied the name "sleet" to the smooth coating of Ice, due to rain falling in cold weather that at times envelops the branches, wires and other objects and gives us the beautiful spectacle of tin; "lo? storm." British meteorolo gists call this "glazed frost," our waather bureau has coined for it the name "glaze," and qo both sides of the Atlantic it haS sometimes been kiown as "silver thaw." Lastly, the "sleot"' of weather bu* reau usage is widely so called in Amer ica, and sometimes so called in Great Britain. A few British meteorologists have tentatively styled it "ice rain," but this name has never become estab lished. In view of these facts, it fs a safe forecast that the term ''sleet" is des tined to cause meteorologists more worry in years to come than the term "cyclone"?which most people . still misapply to the tornado?has caused for many years past. Queer Marriage Customs In iimny parts of India, after the marriage ceremony the bride and bride groom are tied together by the corners of their garments nnd compelled to pu rade the full length of the village to signify that they are united for life. At a Cingalese wedding the presumably happy couple are tied together by their thumbs. In Turkey, when the bridegroom un veils his bride to have the first view of her after the.marriage, they both look into a mirror and then knock heads together so that the images may appear united. In certain portions of China the bride is carried on a servant's back over a slow fire, on each side of which are arranged a pair of the bride groom's shoes. Another custom is that of lifting the bride over the threshold of her new home. Writing With a "Hill" How many people would associate the word "pencil" with a peak or a headland ? The word is derived from tlie na ture of the districts where slate is quarried, for the earliest pencils on record were made from slate. The word "pen" denotes a headland on the coast, or a peak in the country, and it is from these old rock formations that the material is quarried. In this way we find such names as Penrith, Penmaenmawr, the Pennines, and Penzance, all of which have at one time or another been actively asso ciated with the slate industry. In tl>e manufacture of the modern "lead" pencils, the plumbago from which the writing portion is made Is also quarried In these regions.?Lon don Mall.
