SATISFIED WITH THE TEST After Somewhat Belated Proof of the Purity of the Liquor, Brothera Slept in Peace. 'Testing" corn liquor is one of the most frequent preliminaries to con- i viviality these days, it is rumored, al leged, indicated and otherwise noised abroad. Lightnin' that burns with a white flame is supposed to be danger ous, to contain wood alcohol, and to otherwise be undesirable; shine that burns blue is supposed to be the hon est effort of a master-maker of spirits. Sometimes, however, zeal for drink overcomes caution, even of this un certain sort, with the result that the following occurred a few nights ago. Two young brothers in mild Iniquity secured themselves a pint. They, be Ing fairly law-abiding in other re spects. went to their room to drink it. They drank it, at least, most of It, and became somewhat affected by Its presence with them. They rndressed, turned out the light and retired. After about 20 minutes, one aroused himself and called to the other. "Say, wake up, we didn't test that liquor !" "Well, must do it." was the drowsy reply, "won't do drink It 'thout testin' t." They arose, turned on the light, found the drop or two of liquor left In the flask, poured it on a hand-mir ror, touched a match to it with due solemnity and care, saw the blue flame and returned to their beds absolutely satisfied.-Atlanta Constitution. HE GOT THE "BUG LETTER" Discovery That' Made the Victim Madder Than Before He Sent in Original "Kick." There Is probably no easier way to et a laugh out of an average Amer ican audience than to mention an Englishman's sense of humor, and to read what an American may have to ay about the British humor may be asperating to an Englishman, but the reverse is not always true. An Englishman, J. C. Squire, for instance, may write about American jokes and aot be the least bit irritating. In his 'Life and Letters" Mr. Squire's chap ter, "Goaks and Humour," contains several fine American jokes, and mong them is one that concerns a raveler on a sleeping car who had written a complaint to headquarters about the presence of vermin in his )erth. "He received back from the ad inistrative head a letter of immense ?ffusiveness. Never before had such a complaint been lodged against this icrupulously careful line, and the man igement would have suffered any loss -ather than cause annoyance to so istingulshed a citizen as, etc., etc. e was very delighted 'with this ab ect apology. But as he was throw ng away the envelope there fell out t slip of paper which had, apparent y, been inclosed by mistake. On It was a memorandum: 'Send this gny :he bug letter.'" Relic of Glacial Age. -4 Devil's Pulpit, located about two niles east of Batavia, N. Y., is a relic f the giacial age.

It is composed of imestone and stands 20 feet in height. rhe nearest bedrock like it is five niles away to the north, and ge >logists believe this means that the ock was torn loose from Its original noter vein and dragged those five niles by the big glacier- that swept lown from the polar regions ages tgo.
