They were continually play- ye Ing tricks on me and each other in the classrooms, and I decided to stop it. PIC The next day. following a breach of to discipline. I ordered two of the girls to( to remain after school and gave them pa two long problems that kept them for a long time.

The canny grocer sized up his Cus tomer. ~She had ordered six strictly fre eggs. He took down the paper bag and, go- 1 ing to the basket, picked them out. Twisting the top of the bag together,. he handed it to the woman, who paid him and went away. The canny grocer smiled. He had given the women seven eggs when she ordered but six.. Me knew that when she reached home and found she had seven instead of six eggs she would be so delighted with the supposition that she had over reached him that she would entirely disregard the fact that six of the eggs were storage and one was dubious. For the grocer understood human na ture. And he was canny.-Cleveland Plain Dealer. Deep Grief. Throughout his career as a newspa per reporter the young man's assign ments had- taken him into demonstra tive crowds whose periods of noIsy demonstration It was his duty to time "Mr. A. finally appearing, the audience cheered for fifteen minutes." "Senator X. finished his second joke amid laugh ter that lasted for ten minutes," or "At tie close of the speech the audience applauded wildly for thirteen minutes." These and similar records of the pub lic pulse plentifully adorned nearly-ev ery story the young man wrote. One day .he was sent to attend the funeral of a rich and crusty~ tempered old gen tleman whose young wife bad notori ously repented her choice. The man wound up his story of the funeral thus: "In the silence that ensued the wid ow wept for sixteen seconds."-Wash Ington Star. Discovery of Speed of Light. One of the greatest discoveries of science Is due to observation of the eclipses of Jupiter's moons. ft was found that when the earth was in the part of its orbit nearest to Japiter . these eclipses occurred sixteen minutes r earlier than when it was *in the far -0 M ar w - shy al Of astronomy they should have occurred at the same minute each time. It was deduced from this that the light was not instantaneous and consequently took sixteen minutes to traverse the diameter of the earth's orbit, a dis tance of about 200,000,000 miles, thus giving to light a velocity of 186,000 miles a second, which was accurately shown later by other experimets. Chicago Tribune. The Points of Our Stars. The stars on our flag and those on the great seal of the United States, as well as those on the seal of the presi dent, are Bre pointed. The segi of the house of representatives, -however, shows -six pointed stars, and there are six pointed stars on the obverse of the half and quarter dollar coins, with] five pointed stars on theiverse. The reverse of these coins*is a.copy of the great seal, with the clouds and the stars omitted. So far as can be as-. certained the six pointed star is de rived from the colonial coins, which were designed In the manner of Eng lish heraldry, which sanctions that star. The stare on the flag are copIed from the Washington coat of arms. Harper's. Identifying a Street. .. A gentleman from the rural districts boarded an Olive street car one day last week and directed the conductor to let him off at Pimple avenue.
