Waltzing Mouse Going.
And what about waltzing mice?
There was a time when they were
a3 common as goldfish, the Minneap
olis Journal states.
% Pet J overs would house dizzy fam
ilies of them. They would whirl
around, In pairs, on any small spare,
such as nn Inverted tumbler, till they
looked like .spokes in a black and
white wheel,
But nowadays, if you decided to
make a Jolly present to your youngest
? nephew, yon couldn't find u Japanese
waltzing mouse In the country.
It Is true that their dervish dance is
out of date In this age of shimmy
shakers. But that doesn't account for
their extinction.
Tlte war, which, took so many lives,
reached even to the mouse world.
Breeders no*longer raise these eccen
tric little creatures, according to Ed
Hooey, the bird and fish man. Per
haps they still Jive fit Japan, Where
they are. kept through immigration
laws. I>ut as far as this country
goes, the-v busy pets of children are
now but a memory. v

A water owl lives underground at
this place, and when he shakes bis

mancers located the end of his tail, and
th* pagoda was built on it to hold It
down. Howover, they ,ould not la*

ORGAN WAS ONCE UNDER BAN
Scottlah Preebytery, Ueaa Than a Cen.
tury Ago, Declared Ita Playing
Contrary to Law.
The organ, as an addition to the
musical service In the Presbyterian
church, wa? under a ban less than a
hundred years ago, according to a
writer In the Manchester Guardian, re
calling the first organ made by James
Watt. It was a small chamber organ,
in form like a harmonium, which he
built for his own use. When he moved
to Itlhningham the organ was left be
hind and came into the possession of
the minister and ?session of St. An->
drew's church, Glasgow, of which
Watt had been a member. The instru
ment Was used for weekly choir prac
tices, but was sfirouded under a green
baize coyer on Sundays, ss though In
disgrace. In IfcOG permission to use It
wasJrcfused by the city council. Then
one Sunday afternoon, by pre-arrange
tu?nt. the church attempted- to use the
organ without the council's consent.
An organist from a neighboring Epis
copal church was called In.. He played
the organ while the last psalm was
sung. There was so much pxcltement
over the affair that a bitter contro
versy followed. The presbytery de
clared It was contrary to law and the
constitution of the established church,
and it was prohibited in all churches
and chapels within their bounds. Sixty
years later St. Andrew's church got its
first orgsn peaceably.
Had Gas Mask for Watch.
If the Gefrnans had had a better
seYise of efficiency and had spent more
time on the things that really counted,
they might have fared better. For in
umuy xie+umn -??ffieers -wasted

curtains and "God Hleas Our Home"
pictures, which were not at all ap
preciated when they were captflred by
the allies.
One rarefi3 OerTiTffll "iKntdter had a
gus mask made for his watch. Thin
energy was wasted, for the watch la
now in America.
The gas mask Is simply im outside
case?one fare of it glass so that the
time will ?ho\v through it?which
fastens tightly about the watch and
allows nothing to go in or out.
