"Come here and I'll scratch yu tongue, Caliph." a visitor to the Cn tral park menagerie heard the !: say to the young hippopotamus. The visitor hadn't expected that '1; hippo understood English. but ap'. ently he did. He came up to the edge of the tank, opened his jaws a yari or sot and waited. The keeper pnt h:and into the open mouth and tir lated the animal's tongue with I en:ds of his fingers. "That's the way to make a ippo love you." said the keeper. "They like to be tickled, just as a cat likes to have you stroke its back. Caliph wouldn't close his mouth on my arm. and I know I am taking no risk. They are the most amiable big beasts in the world. and I would trust them more than I would an elephant. New York Sun. CASTOR IA For Infants and Children.

Most people conder a polished sur fe as s :.: absutly Smlooth that Is. som hin.; with no scratches on it wh:cver. To polish a thing, however. the very reverse is done to it it is tilled wit!h very flne scratches All eyegl:ss lev:ies. glass for mirrors. furniture. etc.. are rubbed with fine enery paper and later with an ex trenely fne powder which gives the finishing touches iu the shape of very tine scratches. Now the question arises as to just how One the scratehes must be-that is. how far apart they must be. for big scratches a good distance ap:art give anything but a polished sur fa-e. The answer is that the scratches or ridges be ween must be less than one-quarter the wave length of the light that falls on the surface for the light to be reflected and thus give the effect of a polished surface. This is less than one two-hundred-thousandth of an inh for light waves. No break Ing up of the wares is caused, and they consequently are reflected in their original form.-New York Tribune.

But I've held a more wonderful hand than that." "Really?" "Yes. Once I was playing whist and dealt myself a hand of thirteen trumps." "Great Scott!" "And the funniest part of the matter is that I only took one trick." 'Impossible:" "No, it's not. I played last and trumped my partner's ace. Ile was a hasty man, and before I could explain matters he lost his temper, and the game broke up in a row there and then. Funny game whist, isn't it? Iy deal. I think."

C. The greatest trouble with our country is that so many of us continue mortgaging the future. You know how much better it would be for you if you saved enough money to get on a cash basis, cut out exhorbitant interest and credit charges and at the end of the year have the proceeds of your crop clear. Would this not mean prosperity would follow. Prosperity for the county means prosperity for us, so we are interested in seeing you apply sound business principles to your business so that you may prosper, as thereby indirectly we are contributing to our own prosperity. In other words, let us be prosperous together. 'J he easiest way to save money and get on a cash basis and apply business principles is the way that successful business men always follow, and the first thing the successful business man does is to open a bank account and watch it, and nurse it and make it grow against the time that he would otherwise have to buy on credit.
