Situation Sized Up.
The young girl had been engaged as
an amanuensis by a society woman.
She discovered that nearly every day
the husband and wife had a quarrel,

to leave. “Why?” inquired the lady,
in surprise. “Oh, you don't need an
amanuensis, madam,” replied the girl.

Ultra-violet rays used while photo

render detection absolutely certain.
The forger uses a chemical ink eraser
to remove some portion of the writing,
but even though this be tlone so skill

high-power magnifying glass the rays

Appreciation of Others.
Mark Twain once said; “Be good,
jroall be lonesome.” Nevertheless,
BOflt of ns try in our own fashion to
ackiere that brand of loneliness. It

Another Complaint Recorded.
A woman journalist tells us that in
a collection of recent poetry there
are poems of dust, rags, fish and tea
and that “woman alone has failed tc
fan the poetic fires.” She attributes It
to the fact that woman has descended
from her pedestal into the “hurly
burly of life.”

Little Helen and Jack had grown

outgrew dresses and donned his first

tonic. She says further: “Before 1 began to use
Cardui,. my back and head would hurt so bad, 1
thought the pain would kill me. I was hardly able
to do any of my housework. After taking three bottles
of Cardui, I began to feel like a new woman. 1 soon
gained 35 pounds, and now, I do all my housework,
as well as run a big water mill.

and it always does me good.”

DEADLY MINE GASES.

Black damp, unlike white damp, i.^
heavier than air, a nonexplosive

This gas is so heavy and moves Avilh
such a sluggish flow that occasional

a mine following an explosion and
have detec’ted the black damp creep

have been able to stop its advance l;y
erecting dams or barricades along the
floor, building them higher as the vol

air within their little inclosure com

fans.
Following an explosion, these two
gases become mingled and form a mi^-

qualities of each, which is known aa
“after damp,” and It is the mixture
of gases which destroys any life that
may remain following a mine disaster.

American Golf.
Certainly you are In good luck as a
golfer If you go to America at all, for
they are glorfously hospitable in that
land, and. so far as I could see, the
Idea that some have here—that the
American’s notion of the object of
playing a game is purely to win it,
not to enjoy the playing—is perfectl.v
mistaken. I never had the impression
more strongly anywhere of being in
the company of men who were inlay
ing the game for pleasure, not for tin*
mere sake of winning the match. P»nt
then It Is certainly true, as I heard one
of their Judges (I mean a legal judire.
though he was a Judge of golf, too)
Bay in ^n after dinner speech that it
Is “the cleanest sport in America.”
