THE HOME, I
ON THE WRONG SCENT.
A prominent citizen of Washington
was travelling over a line of railway'
with which he was unfamiliar. At a
certain point the road passes a fer
tilizer factory, the odor from which
is offensive. It is particularly dis
agreeable to a lady who is compelled
to make the journey daily. As a pro
tection from the obnoxious atmos
pheric, she is accustomed to carry a
bottle of lavender salts.
As the train approached the factory
she produced the vial as usual, un
stopped it and applied it to her nos
trils. Presently the odors from the
factory began to permeate the car.
The Washington man .endured it as
long as he felt that he could. At
last he rose to his feet, and approach
ing the lady, said, in his most polite
manner:
"Madam, may I request you to re
place tHr stopper in that bottle?"
GEOGRAPHY.
The semi-annual examinations were
held at a well-known private school
the other day, and while inspecting
the papers the teachers found many
humorous answers to some of the
questions. A class of boys, averaging
about twelve years of age, had been
examined in geography, which had
bcJcn preceded! the day before by
grammar. Among the questions in
the geography paptcr was the follow
ing: "Name the zones."
One promising youth of eleven
years wrote this answer:
"There are two zones, masculine
and feminine. The masculine is eith
er temperate or intemperate; the fem
inine is either torrid or frigid." Illus
trated Bits.
THE OLDEST OF PROFESSIONS
An old friend of the family had
dropped in to see a young lawyer
whose father was still paying his of
fice rent.
"So you arc now practising law,"
the old friend said, genially.
"No sir," said the candid youth. "I
appear to be, but. I am really practis
ing economy."
A HAPPY SOLUTION.
There had been a long-stnding dif
ference of opinion in the Plunkctt
family concerning the dining-tablc.
Mrs. Plunkctt maintained that its' legs
were too short, and ought to be
lengthened at least half an inch. I
"It doesn't fit our chairs, Jarcd, and
you know it," she contended. "When '
wc sit down to this table we're too 1
high above it. You could have pieces
of wood glued on the ends of the
legs. That would be easier than to
saw off the ends of all the chair-legs." j
"I don't agree to your proposition
at all, Cordelia," said Mr. Plunkctt.
"I think the table is just right. But
I'm willing to compromise the mat
ter. You have' been wanting a hard
wood floor in this dining-room for a
long time, haven't you?"
"Yes."
"Well, wic can liave that ncw kind
of hardwood flooring that is laid -on j
top .of the old floor. That will raise
the entire surface three-eighths of an j
inch or more, and that will raise the
table, of course, just so much. How
will that do?"
This seemed to be a fair proposi
tion, and without a moment's hesita- ,
tion Mrs. Plunkctt accepted it as a
satisfactory compromise.

IT DID NOT WORK.
Mrs. Billings was installing the ncw
cook, a maiden from Finland, to
whom the kitchen contrivances of
America were new and) wonderful. .
"This, Ina," said the lady, indicating
a perforated wooden board that hung
against the kitchen wall, "is the order
list. See, it says 'butter, eggs, sugar,
coffee, tea, molasses' everything that j
we need to eat. Whenever we are out 1
of any of these things, all you need
to do is to place one of these little
pegs in the hole opposite the name,
and the things will be ordered."
Mrs. Billings is not a methodical
housekeeper There were several
consecutive days when she complete
ly forgot the existence of the order
list in the kitchen, but Ina labored
with it faithfully.
"Meesis," pleaded Ina, after strug
gling with the order board for three
days, "I tank dose board must bc.out
