JOHNSON, City List-Taker. A Constat ( Liar. "I used to know a fellow who wui the most constant and consistent liar 1 ever saw," observed Uncle Hy. "but there wux this to say fur him, be always lied with the idea of pleasin' the feller be wui talkin' tc or the woman he wui convarsiu with. He never talked with a home ly womhan without givln' her to un demand that he considered her one uv the handsomest females he'd ever been acquainted with, and he seem ed to be so much in earnest that be really made the woman believe he meant it and she wui pleased about it. even when her lookin' glass told her the man wui a liar. Why ,he could take a rotten orange from the box and make believe it wui from a select tree in the best part of Floridy. He never went to hear a preacher without taklu' the opportunity after the sermon wux over to tell the preacher it wui one the greatest sermons he had ever hearn in his life and that heann it had done him a wonderful amount uv good. And the preacher went away pleased over that lie as much as if it had been true. Xo matter how sorry a team a farmer drove this liar would manage to make the farmer believe the hosscs were crack animals. So it went. That feller told more lies than you could stack tip in a week with a patent stack- et, but every lie he told was calcu lated to make some man or woman feel good fur the time bein.' Now what 1 can't determine in my own mind i this: Did that feller's lies do any harm or did they do good? Generally speaking, 1 hate a liar, but that feller wui an exception. Everybody liked him and listened to his lips with pleasure, even when they knowed that he wui a ly In' faster than a 2:20 hoss can trot. He would tell you everything so it would dazzle. Durn his hide, he wuz such a finished liar I liked to hear him talk." Exchange. INTERESTING BITS OF NEWS. Copenhagen. Denmark, school teachers gel f 320 a year.

There is alwaja danger In t.x trenies. This law applies to the af fairs of married life as truly as It does to our several habits and in terests. Even in the case of husband and wife there is a peril in too close association. There is a delight to be found in thfir chumship which ex ists in no other relation in life, yet it is necessary that they should ex ercise a measure of common sense in the enjoyment of these pleasures. When a man finds more real enjoy ment in his wife's companionship than he does in that of others when he derives genuine pleasure in din ing out with her when he prefers to make his associates in his little excursions instead of electing him to go with some other "chum" the foundation of their happiness is laid so firmly that there is small danger that serious disaster will ever over throw the structure. When a man and a woman who have married fall short of becoming chums, the fault usually is that of the husband. Occasionally, it is true, there are women who become so engrossed in the management of their home that they feel they have no time to devote to the small friv oilitles of life. In most instances, bowever.'the wife would be only too ready to participate in her husbaud's Pleasures were he to show a dlspO' sition to desire her company. And this is the right spirit that she should display. Tito slightest ten dency in this direction on the part of the husband should be promot ed and cultivated most ussiduously, for there is more safety than we sometimes suspect in un intimacy of Interests that extends beyond the lour walls of the home. Instead of permitting her own carts and re- Donsibilities from deterring nor from accepting his Invitations, there fore, she should endeavor to make her own plans subordinate to his program, und, during the time when they are together, she should also spare no effort in making the hours pass as enjoyable as possible. I' is only by avoiding every note that may be suggestive of discord that she can inspire him with an earnest desire to repeat the experiment. Attractive as all this may seem. however, there Is another s'da to the picture a danger that this companionship may come to play so vital a part in the mind of the two that the chumsip may generate into a galling system of espoinage. Love confers many rlghst rights that are Intuitively recognized and gra ciously accepted by both but the right to dictate the life of the oth er la not one of them. When companionship between hus band and wife is so genuine that they instinctively become chums there is much happiness in store for them, but let either become too exacting let either assert the right to the companionship of the other to the exclusion of all other inter ests and associates and the end to happiness is as certain as the sue cession of day and night. Because the husband enjoys going about with his wife, she has no right to in sist that she be his companion on all occasions or expect him to de cline all invitations where sh can not accompany him. If the wife is ! willing to play the "chum" for her husband when he desires it, he should be grateful for her company, tut he should not wish for her to throw all other interests overboard .that she may live her life exclusive ly with him.

The relative percentage of the food digested is shown as follows: Bread made with Royal Cream of Tartar Powder; flOO Per Cent Digested - Bread made with phosphate powder; 681 Per Cent Digested Bread made with alum powder; T67 Per Cent Digested These tests, which are absolutely reliable and unprejudiced, make plain a fact of great importance to everyone: Food raised with Royal, a cream of tartar Baking Powder, is shown to be entirely diges tible, while the alum and phosphate powders are found to largely retard the digestion of the food made from them.
