The proud parent was taking his first-born out for an airing and was strutting down the street with the infant in his arms when he ran into the Bashful Bachelor. "Whaddy ya think of my baby?" said the Proud Parent. "Some whopper to be only three weeks old eh?" The Bashful Bachelor looked at the * "* "* * ~ J *1%^ lUtl/v KoM VioQrl niue reu race mm mc u?io ua.u and said: "Does It talk?" "Talk!" exclaimed the Proud Parent "Of course not!" "Er ah, of course not," agreed the Bashful Bachelor. "Does it walk?" "Walk?" yelled the Proud Parent "Of oouree not!" "Er ah, of course not," stammered t'.ie Bashful Bachelor, trying to get away. "Have you named it?" "Where do you get that it' stuff?" demanded -the Proud Parent angrily. , "This is no insect, it is a baby!" "Oh. yes, of course," agreed the Bashful Bachelor. "It is a baby, isn't it?" But the Proud Parent was on his way down the street. Conjuring With Humor. The famous orchestral conductor. Dr. Richter, Is blessed with the precious faculty of keeping his temper under strong provocation and of recovering quickly from irritation whenever he yields i:o it; that has naturally been a great help in his dealing with his great crchester. At a rehearsal, according to the Manchester Guardian, one of the musicians made a mistake. "No!' cried Dr. Richter. "It goes so (humming), rum-tum-tarum!" Presently the same player made another mistake. "No! No! Rum-tum-tarum!" corrected Dr. Richter excitedly. At a third mistake he momentarily lost patience. "Why do you make so many slips, Mr. Green?" he shouted. Then instantly, with all his habitual good humor, he added, smiling, "Ah, I know why it is you like to hear me sing!" He Understood. Miss Gregory was devoting: herself to the education of the children In a far back and mountainous country, and there were many negroes am on? the small pupils. One small boy, who was inclined tc be very lazy, was asked one morning to bring a bucket of water from the spring. "I ain't gwine fotch no water," he whined rebelliously. "Oh, Peter!" protested the teacher "please don't say that. "Can't you remember anything I have taught you: First person, singular, I am not going; second person, you are not going; third person, he is not going. Plural: First person, we are not going; second perscm, you are not going; third person, they are not going. Now Peter, do you understand it perfectly?" "Oh, yes'm, I und'stand," said the colored boy. "Ain't nobody gwine?" The Faithful Nurse.?The husband arrived home much later than usual "from me oince. n.c iwn wi* boots and stole into the bedroom. His wife began to stir. Quickly the panic-stricken man went to the cradle of his first-born and began to rock it vigorously. "What are you doing there, Robert?" queried his wife. "I've been sitting here nearly two hours trying to get this baby to sleep," he growled. "Why, Robert, I've got him here in l>ed with me." replied the wife. Then there were words. Tit-Bits. How He Worked It. One day a visitor at a charity bazaar noticed a man going along the line of booths, buying nothing and yet leaving a smiling face behind him. Curious to learn how he did it, the visitor strolled up just as the man, after looking over some things at the last booth, was about to pass on. "Why don't you buy something at my table?" the girl in the booth demanded. "Because," the man said connaentially, "I buy only from the homely girls: they have a harder time making sales." Thought Too Highly of Both. On a road in Belgium a German officer met a boy leading a jackass and addressed him in a heavy fashion as follows : "That's a fine jackass you have, my son. What do you call it? Albert. I bet." "Oh, no, officer." the boy replied quickly, i think too highly of my king." The German scowled and returned: "I hope you don't dare call him William." "Oh, no, officer; I think too highly of my jackass." Paris Liberte.

It is incoriect to speak of the discovery of gunpowder, for this compound of saltpetre, charcoal and sulphur, has been developed?passed through many stages, and there is no evidence on which to pin down its invention to one man, says a writer in All Outdoors. In England Roger Bacon is considered the inventor, and while this is a disputed point, it is evident that Bacon makes the most important reference to gunpowder in a communicaAl? V, *Ko noi?1v rloto nf 194^ IIUI1 UCillllif, kiic Vd.li; U?iv VI. ..... Tji this and other of his writings 3acon makes no mention of guns or the use of powder as a propellant, but merely as an explosive and destructive powder. The first mention of gunpowder as propellant is in a document now in the National library in Paris. This bears the date of 1338, and describes "an iron weapon called pot de fu, for propelling bolts, together with some saltpetre and sulphur to make powder for the same." About the time of Elizabeth the manufacture of gunpowder was carried on as a crown monopoly, and regulations respecting gunpowder were made in the reign of James I, in 1623. Powder mills were in existence in England about the middle of the sixteenth century. However, Roger Bacon in his anagram gives the first recipe for gun-' powder as being composed of saltpetre, 41.2; charcoal, 29.4; sulphur, 29.4. The composition of gunpowder used in different countries varies considerably. For making the brown or cocopowder used in the big guns of Germany the following recipe is used: Salpetre; 78; charcoal, 19; sulphur, three. In making this powder the charcoal it not burnt black, but roasted until brown, and is made from some variety of straw and not of wood. The adoption by the French government of the comparatively smokeless nitrocellulose of Paul Vieille in 1887, practically put an end to the old i forms of gunpowder. The first smokeless powder was made in 1865 by Colonel E. Schultze by nitrating wood ' meal and adding potassium and barTum nitrates. 1 Smokeless and even noiseless pow' ders seem to have been sought for dur' ing the whole gunpowder period. In 1756 one was experimented with in ' France, but was abandoned. Modern smokeless powders are certainly less . noisy than black powders, mainly because of the absence of metallic salts which while gaseous in the gun are ejected as solids when coming into contact with the air. Inconsistency of Health Rules.?Referring to a reported statement of Dr. J. N. McCormack, secretary of the Kentucky State Board of Health, to the effect that the -so-called influenza 1 epidemic ran rife in the homes of the poor, Dr. I. N. Bloom, a member of the Louisville Board of Education, has I called attention to the inconsistency I of the health authorities in advocating i clean, well-heated and well-ventilated Tweareioilpi ij for your l ; We wish to thank e ! | customers during the p !; very liberal patronage gi !? you for trade, your gooc ! | evidence of confidence ii I j business that we are tryt ! | very best values for their I [ To be sure we want you; !; that we want your confi !| and to be sure of that wc | [ all of our patrons the \ II and the fairest prices f< |! make at all times.

S I V homes and then preventing the children from attending: the schools, where these very conditions obtain, and causing them, by such a ruling, to be cooped up in their poor homes or forced out on to the streets. Dr. Bloom also called attention to the fact that there is much difference of opinion among physicians themselves as to whether or not a quarantine is of value: whether or not the wearing: of masks is an effective preventive;. whether any of the special vaccines are of value or whether stock vaccine is of value. Moreover, he said there was a wide variation of opinion among physicians as to the cause, prevention and treatment of the alleged disease. He further criticized the health boards responsible for the closing order for their failure to consult the attendance records of the public schools to determine if the absences on account of illness have been much greater this year than in previous years, and declared that an investigation on his own account has shown that for the month of November the percentage of absences on account of illness has revealed only a small percentage of such increase. Enemy Must Wait Until Allies Agree. An outline of four stages in ? " *' X- 4U/\ Dneie me rcace euunuu ia given mc i aiu Midi by a French diplomat who is engaged in framing the program of the preliminaries. It follows: The early entry of thexenemy powers into the negotiations need not be expected, as there will be four stages, The first stage will be a meeting between France, Great Britain and the United States for the formation of a united diplomatic command. The second stage will be a plenary meeting of all the Allies at which the smaller states will adhere to the results of the first stage. The third step will be the Peace Congress, with the admission of enemy plenipotentiaries. The fourth stage will be a conference of all the nations, including neutrals, for the formation of a Society of Nations as agreed upon by the leading Allied powers. Subterranean Forts. A French fori ot Verdun has artificial ventilation. II is described by Major General Charles A. Clement, U. S. A., who visited the firing line- A fort, looked on as the best that French engineering skill could build, was made of reinforcec concrete, extending many feet underground, and stood near tho site of the .stronghold referred to. It was smashed to atoms by the Germans, but the French, even as the pieces were flying about them, constructed a new subterranean fort of rock and granite which effectually resisted the attacks of the enemy. This fort General Clement describes as somewhat resembling an anthracite coal mine. He said that the air in the fort's hospital was pure, and despite the fact that no sunlight evei penetrated the place, the conditions compared favorably with those of similar institutions on the surface of the earth. The foregoing gives us a glimpse ol French efficiency displayed in theli defense of Verdun.?Popular Science Monthly. fliEClATIVE F IBERAL PATRONAGE j! ach and every one of our 11 ast four months for the |; ven our store.
