To judge from, the cartoons we see, Russia is not a big market for American safety razors. There Is a powerful movement in favor of grand opera in English, de spite the fact that such productions tend to discourago the elegant art of vonversation.

Many readers of newspapers have Iwondered at the meaning of those of t repeated words found at the end of jnysterious disappearance stories: "Defectives have been assigned to the case." At any rate the Chicago woman who said she rode all night oni street cars to cure a headache has invented a good excuse for persons who anm Srone to stay out until the wee sma' ours. A New York woman says she lost her respect for her husband when she 'caught him with flye aces in his hand. She is perfectly right. A man who allows himself to be caught that way deserves no respect.

BERNARD OT so very long ago a young girl in the nortjiern part of New N York state decided to go to college, but when ways and means were discussed it was found that she would have to supplement in some way the limited amount the family could afford to give her. Fortunately her faith in herself and in human nature in general was her chief asset and she finally convinced her parents that if she only could get in the college she could do the rest. She was not quite sure how this feat was going to be accomplished, but her courage was high. During the first few weeks she discovered that the college girls' fondness for candy was no fable and she made some fudge and otlier candies from her own recipes, which had in her home town been considered superior to anything that could be bought, and offered the candy for sale among the girls. It met with instant success, and she made more, which she disposed of with such rapidity that in a short time the demand had grown among the girls in the college and their friends to such an extent that she found it necessary to open a place of business outside the college. Still she had her way to pay through college and could not take larg financial risks, so she rented a space under the stairs in one of the busiest business buildings and used a kitchen table for a counter. In this she displayed her various goods done up in attractive boxes with each box labeled with the contents and weight and price. She could not afford to keep a salesgirl behind the counter while she was obliged to be absent, 'and here is where her great faith in human nature served her. She tacked a card up, saying, "Make your pur chase and leave the money," and she declares she never lost a cent or a piece of candy. Today this same girl has a chain of candy shops throughout the country and she is fully convinced that the secret of her success is the faith she had in the old college days with the little stand under the stairs. The elusive germ discovered in every thing conceivable has been caught hiding Shoes in another stronghold by British scientists recently and the humble instrument of his pfdpagation proves to be nothing more Hiding than a. old shoe. rTle shoe dealer and the cobbler are to e or be subjected to medical inspection if the health olicers of Manchester carry out their threats because, they declare, millions of germs are conveyed from one person to another by the common practice of trying on shoes and also by the transfer of germs from one shoe to another while in the cob ,bler's hands. In cases of tetanus, scarlet fev6r or eczema erysipelas,, every one is extremely careful to burn or disinfect the clothing, but so often the shoes are overlooked and these diseases are readily conveyed by the wearer to his neighbors, especially in the. case of scarlet fever. The germ hunter is ever active and it seems to the man wvho is in love with the good old times when we all drank out of the same rusty tin cup at the spring, that we are not going to be permitted to breathe in the same room with another after a time, but will each wear our own little breath purifier. A man in Ohio recently went the limit when he insisted upon car rying his own car strap, so that when he had to "hang" he would not be forced to use the device which had been besmirched by the germy hands of his fellow travelers. And yet the precaut ions which we take andl which our fathers never heard of are doubtless the only reason why we can live in our congested overpopulated quarters and contrive to keep alive at all-so look out for your shoes. _______________________ We munst all realize that this life is full of sorrow, and if you p)ersonally have L i~htenhad the good luck to escape your share of dohoeonthat account, allow yourself to Burdens of grow cold hearted1 and unsympathetic to H ea~~~r rThir lot is often so hard, so lonely, so Ladenfull of misery.

A Cure Ec By LAWRENCE (opyright, 1911. by Assoo Because Harold Speed was twenty four years old, and because Miss Ger trude Rayburn was only nineteen; because he was rather prim and pre 'clse, and she was a sort of tomboy; because he was in love with her and because of several other reasons, he had come to speak of her as Little'. Miss Chit. She was saucy and impudent and independent, and she was very de mure and deceitful and ingenious. If she loved him in return she wasn't going to let him know it until she got good and ready. She resented his primness and preciseness and tl. rebukes he offered. When her mother talked to he about her wicked ways she elevatei' her chittish chin and replied: "And who is Harold to boss me. He is only a bit older than I am, though he acts like an old deacon. I'm going to keep at him until he drops that awful dignity and acts as any other young man would." "He has asked you to marry him, I presume?" queried the mother. "Yes, he has, and how did he do it? We were sitting in the summer house one evening, and I was chew ing gum. It was a beautiful night. The crickets were singing, and the night breeze was rustling the big wil low. It was just the nicest night in the world to talk love, but did lie talk it? No, mamma. After we had sat there like two stupids for a long half hour, and just as I was expect ing him to drop to his knees and propose, he said: "'Do you think we ought to keep a cat when we are married?' "Why, mamma, I was so mad that I almost swallowed my gum! Did you ever hear the like?" "Harold is a very steady young man, and you are hoity-toity," re plied the mother. "I'm not. It's just only that I won't be a grandmother till I have to be. Oh, you wait. I'll bring that young A. , Wit He Fahers Ht ad Cne ma *f hi eetlifh otne ig, adHe Fatrve Hat aienot ane anof Thisuteeresave im hecntithe torhang accoundngre If herogramand gcoing to walrt har progfra hm Haowsexpected tha iset revetin ning, uarighe arriedo thime-noth wae inut tooesnce nor ah wante tnoa chlatel.

Ex cuse me, please, while I look at the latest magazine." "Oh, sure! Wish grandma was home to talk with you!" And for a long hour she sat there and talked to her doll and sung to herself, but she couldn't even ruffle the conservative young man, Hie seemed quietly to enjoy the situation. On another occasion he began to talk politics as soon as lie enter-ed her presence, and after standing it for halt' an hour she yawned and asked if lie had any objection to go ing out and buying a quiart of pea nuts to roast in the kitchen. She hoped lie would flush uip and eveni swear, but lie disappointedl her, lie remained cool and calm and an swered that he hoped her frivolity wvould entirely disappear' some day. Again, he entered the parlor to find her walking up andl down with a cane, and her father's silk hat on her head. She continued to walk aft or his entrance, and it was only after he had Boated himself and be gan to read a letter taken from his pocket that she threw hat and cane into a corner and exclaimed:| "Harold.

It was winter, and .iarter of a mile away, Uver, and certain folks were hshing through the ice with -ood luck. Mr. Speed was to come lown for the last two days of their stay. There were four clear days in which to snowball, skate, fish and slide down hill. Even a snowman was built at the gate and a sign of 'Dignity" would have been hung iround his neck if Miss Chit could iave had her way. The thought that ,Ir. Speed was to come down and ;poll the last two days set a certain little head thinking. A plan was laid, and the boy who had batted her fish-hooks was called in to conr*pire. He grinned and Miss Chit giggled. "What's afoot now?" asked the sus picious mother. "Nothing, mamma dear. Harold will be here tomorrow. He will arrive at 11 o'clock, the same as we did. I shall be over at the lake fishing. Tell him where I am. No, there's nothing doing, mamma. I'd Just like to see him catch a fish through the ice." Harold arrived. As usual, he was punctual to the minute. He was shown the path to the lake and he walked over there. His last few steps were hastened by screams for help. Yes, he really hastened, and the sight that met his eyes as he stood on the shore made him thrill. Miss Gertrude was afloat on a cake of ice. She was holding out her hands to him in supplication. There was a boy standing around on one foot with his finger in his mouth and looking helpless. "A boat! A boat!" cried Harold as he seized the lad and shook him out of his coat. "There-over there, but it's too late!" "Harold-oh, Harold!" from the cake of ice. "Yes-yes. I'll save you! Help me, you young villain or I'll drown you!" Trhere was ice and water in the boat, and only a board for a paddle. but it wvas launched and on its way to the rescue when a strange thing happened. Little Miss Chit seized the end of the rope and began pulling herself and cake of ice back to the main portion and presently stepped on the firm Ice. As she did so she sat down and clapped her hands and began to laugh. Harold slowly re turned the boat and then walked out to where the chuckles and giggles and chirrups came from. For thirty seconds ho kept his face mobile. Th en he grinned-then smiled-then broke down and laughed till the tears came. "I just bet them two folks are going to get married!" announced the boy as he sauntered up to the house. "What makes you think so?" "'Cause they are sitting down on the ice a shakin' hands and laughin' like two idiots. Hark! You can hear him holler clear here!" As They Auction in Japan. Sealed bids are used in auctioning property in Japan. There is no shout ing. The auctioneer announces to the audience that ho has such and such a piece of property for sale and in vites bids. Thoso who wish to bid write their bids and names on slips of paper. Thle paper is folded and placed in a box. When the auctioneer sees no more bids coming he opensl the box and sorts out the bids. The highest bid takes the property. It is like a bond sale, no one knows what his neighbor bids. If a bidder Is anxious to get the property he will not put in a small offer. On the contrary he wvill very likely bid all the roperty Is wvorth. For this reason an owner never puts up his property for auction unless ho wvants to sell it. Of the Newest School.
