"No, weather was all right, and the houses v.-ere crowded." "And one ran awav with the boo dle?'' "No, sir." "Then I don't exactly understand how you mad a failure of it," persisted the interrogator. "Easiest thing in the world," explained the busted. "We'd been out four weeks and were doing a smashing business •when tin old woman of the play struck me for $7 worth of salary ami busted the show all to smash.

It was a red-hot game, if not scien tific, and excitement ran high. The only thing, however, that 1 was interested in was the umpire, who never uttered a word during the whole game. A strike was indicated by raising the right hand with one finger held up. When he wished to call a ball, he held up his left hand. There were other signals as well and it was not necessary for him to open his mouth. "What interested me more than any thing else was the way that the players and spectators took his decision. The game was a final one, and the bitter feel ing that had existed during the whole season had come to a point where there was danger of blood being shed. Yet when the umpire made a rank decision, which was pretty often, not a man said a word even the rooters seemed awed into silence. "At last the umpire made a particular ly rank decision against the club that I had picked out for a winner and I couldn't resist yelling 'Rotten!' 'Taint no use yellin' at that feller,' said a party who was sitting near me, 'he's deaf and dumb.' "It was so.

The princess, in the course of her tour, kept exclaiming: "Oh. this terrible war—this terrible war!" One of the men had been shot through the right cheek, the bullet carrying away with it the teeth and the greater portion of tin- jaw. The tender-hearted princess was much moved at. the man's suffering, and she Miid to him: "Poe.r fellow! Can you manage to smoke at all?" The man said: "Yes. your royal high ness." The princess immediately turned to the Prince of Wales, and, putting her hand on his shoulder, said: "Will you let me have your cigarette case?"

There is a Dane in Kansas City, says the Journal of that city, who churns the milk from 20,000 cows daily. It takes him only forty minutes to churn 1250 pounds of butter, and he makes ten of these churnings a day. In one day's churning he turns out. more butter than all the housewives of Missouri and Kan sas combined. This wonderful Dane is A. M. Larson, buttermaker for the Bra dy-Mcridan Creamery company. He learned the business in Denmark, and is said to be the highest-salaried butter maker in the United States. The walls of his workroom are covered with but ter diplomas, one having been awarded hint at the World's Fair iri Chicago. H*1 knows precisely when the cream is "ripe for churning, knows just what the flavor and color should be, knows to a grain how much salt to put in it—in fact, knows it all. It is an interesting sight to watch the transformation of cream into butter in the place where Mr. Larson works. The cream arrives in large ten and twenty gallon milk cans. It is poured from these cans into five immense tanks holding :i00 gallons each. In each tank is a metallic coil of pipe, through which is forced wa ter from an artesian well (500 feet deep. While the water is running through these pipes, machinery moves the pipes back and forth in the vat, keeping the cream in constant motion. This work is all done at night, and after four hours ot the cooling process the cream is re duced to a teni|erarure of ,"2 degrees. In the six or eight hours remaining before daylight the cream ripens, and in the morning the smooth, satin-like fluid is ready for the great churn. This is an im mense barrel. 20 feet long and 10 feet through, Avliich is revolved by machinerv, churning and working the butter at the same time. After forty minutes of re volving. the churn is opened and there are 1250 pounds of butter ready io be packed into cans, wooden boxes and lubs, and to be molded into countless one pound prints or bricks. Piled against the wall of the churning room were more than KM) barrels. "That's salt." said the butter-maker. "We use salt here by the carload. It takes pounds for one churning." There are forty-three skimming sta tions within a radius of sixty miles of Kansas City, which supply this great churn with cream. At each of these stations is a separator run by machin ery which separates the cream' from the unlk. the farmer or dairyman taking the skimmed milk back with him. The sep arator is a wonderful machine. It per forms the office of skimming the milk, only it doesn't have to wait for the cream to rise. It will take the milk within thirty minutes after it comes from the cow. while it is still warm and fresh and covered with foam, and separate every particle of cream from it. The milk is rev lved with tremendous rapidity, the cream coming from one spout in the sep arator and the milk from another, by centrifugal force. Something: New. It has always been conceded that 110 ordinary paint equalled an enamel for all interior decorative purposes, as the former does not give the beautiful, smooth, mirror-like surface that the latter does. The economical housewife of to-day lias the walls, bath room and bedrooms enameled, as once done it lasts for years, ltubbed with a soft cloth once in a while, such rooms are kept clean and healthy with practically 110 labor. Old articles of furniture are made to look like new with a coat of enamel and grive good service for years when otherwise it would have been neces sary to discard them. In the past the price of enamel has been almost double that of paint, but Florentine Enamel Colors are sold at the same price as ordinary mixed paint and come realy for use. This brand of enamel is put up in twenty-three colors and comes in all size packages from pint io gallon cans, and Ave understand that nearly all dealers of paint carry it in stock on account of the gi-.»at de mand that exists l'or it.

HAS THIRTY THOUSAND TEETH The Snail is "Well Equipped with Its Band-Saw Tongue. 'It is a fortunate thing for man and the rest of the animal kingdom," said the naturalist, "that no large wild animal has a mouth constructed with the devonr apparatus built on the plan of the insignificant looking snail's mouth, for that animal could out-devour anything that lives. The snail itself is such an en tirely unpleasant not to say loathsome creature to handle, that few amateur naturalists care to bother with it. but by neglecting the snail they miss studying one of the most interesting objects that come under their observation. "Anyone who has noticed a snail feed ing on a leaf must have wondered how such a soft, flabby, slimy animal can make such a sharp and clean-cut incision the leaf, leaving an edge as smooth and straight as if it had been cut with a knife. This is. dno to the jM'culiar and formidable mouth it has. The snail eats with his tongue and the roof of his mouth. The tongue1 is a ribbon which the snail keeps ir coli his mouth. This tongue is in reality a band saw, vith the teeth on the surface instead of on the edge. The teeth are so small that as many as 30,000 of thern have been found on one snail's tongue. They are exceedingly sharp and only a few of them are used at a time—not exactly only a few of them, but a few of them com paratively, for the snail will probably have 4000 or .000 of them in use at once. He does this by means of his coiled tongue. He can uncoil as much of this as he chooses, and the uncoiled par he brings into service. The roof of his mouth is as hard as a bone. lie grasps the leaf between his tongue and that hard substance, and. rasping away with his tongue, saws through the toughest leaf with ease, always leaving the edge smooth and straight. "By use the teeth wear off or become dull. When the snail finds that ibis tool is becoming blunted he uncoils another section ami works that out until he has conie to the end of his coil. Then he coils the tongue up again ami is ready to start in new, for while he has been using ihe latter portions of the ribbon the teeth have grown on again in ihe idle portion—the saw has be tiled and re set. so to speak—and Avhile he is theui the teeth in the back part of the coil are renewed." Such Cruel Parents. "Please, mamma, please!" "Papa, I beg of you. do not refuse!" Cordelia Pasdetout clung wildly about her fond but obdurate mother's neck and rained kisses upon her cheeks, while An astasia, her sister, did likewise to her father. But their pleading seemed of no avail: the elder Pasdetouts shook their gray heads firmly in negation, though it was evident that the necessity of refusing their daughters' request pained tlnin be yond measure. Gently, but with decision, as one shakes a harel-shelloel crab from out a scalp net. the parents disentangled Ihe-ir daughters' arms from their shoulders. Then, mastering his emotions, the* father said: "No, Anasrasia and Cordelia, what you ask of us is too much! Never before have we refused a request of yours. We have* moved from city let city, from state* to state, to the- injury of my business and the1 destruction of your mother's health in order to deceive people as to your ages.
