Speaking of the dyspepsia which, Bas8 as often a burden that made Field’s, leerfnlness a triumph as well as a gift,! Hr. Dennis says Sol Smith Russell, the comedian, was, not only a close friend but a felllow dys peptic. and Field used to tell with huge glee a story to the effect that one mid night, after giving a performance in an, eastern city, Russell went into a restau rant to get something to eat. While he jjjprtook sparingly of bread and milk he saw an old friend of the name of Par sons attacking with gusto a plateful of corned beef and cabbage. “Merciful heavens. Parsons!” cried Bussell. “How dare you fill yourself with such victuals at this time of night?" “Oh. I can stand it," replied Parsons happily. "But, my dear fellow." expostulated fussell, “do you know how Iqng it takes rued beef and cabbage to digest?" “No, I haven't the remotest idea,’’ skid Parsons. ■ “Weft? J happen to know." said Rus sell; “it takes five hours—five solid hours.’’ • ’ “Oh, that’s all right," said Parsons. ■‘l’ve got just about that much time to devote to it.” A somewhat similar story of J. L. Toole was told to Field in London. Dropping in at the Garrick Club one eve ning. Toole found Irving eating a Welsh rarebit. After gazing fixedly at the con coction.

Don’t Talk—Telegraph. | A traveling man went into a railway restaurant and gazed discontentedly at the profusion of pies and cakes on the j counter. "Haven’t you got anything 'solid to eat?” he asked, j "Shall I give you some beans?” asked ' the proprietor, with his most persuasive ! smile. The traveler assented and, mak ing short work of them, asked, "How much?” “Twenty-five cents.” was the bland re sponse. “What!” cried the drummer: “twenty five cents for a spoonful of cold beans !’’ The proprietor continued firm in his price, the man paid it and departed. But. late that afternoon a telegram was hand ed in to the restaurant keeper, for which he paid twenty-five cents. It ran thus: "Don’t yon think your price a little high on beaus?" Advice From an Expert. Two strangers in a first class railway carriage had got into friendly conversa tion. The windows had just been let down on account of the closeness of the day. and the desultory chatter turned tc the subject of ventilation. “I make it." said one of the passengers “an invariable practice to adv'se people to sleep witli their bedroom windows open all the year round." “Ila. ha!" laughed the other; “I per ceive you are a doctor!” “Not at all!” was the confidential re ply. “To tell you the truth, strictly be tween ourselves, I am—a burglar!’’ They took eight stitches in the head of a Dallas (Tex.) swimmer because he failed to use it.

Twfee aa Mark as that of Rural CUHNa. (By the a—« Male« Presst Raleigh, N. C., July 4. —Although there are about six times as many chil dren enrolled in the rural schools of North Carolina as there are in the 24 largest cities, expenditures for the edu cation of these country children was only three times as much aa was spent for the education of city children, De partment of Public Instruction figures show. There were 602,441 children in the rural schools last year and 104,838 in those of the 24 Urgent cities. There was spent for all educational purposes during the year 1923-24 a total of $28,- 747.076. Os this amount more than ten and a half million dollars was spent for capital outlay, that Is, for new build ings. equipment and repairs. The re maining nineteen million dollars was si>ent for 'the actual instruction of the clrldren of the State. The comparison of the educational ex penditure* shows a greater contrast as it relates to per capita Cost of instruction. The 24 largest cities spent $41.04 per child instructed. The 15 smaller cities spent $34.32 |>ef child instructed, and the State average was $84.06. The rural child had only $20.10 spent on his in duction during that year. It was pointed out by school authori ties that the average per capita cost in the United States for the year 1920 was $04.15. over twice as much as North Carolina spent last year. The figures for lf*24 for the nation are not yet avail able, btk there has been a material In crease in the average for the uation. Figures compiled hy the State Superin tendent of Public Instruction show that in the county school sfateifa New Hanover county stands first ih the ntnmirtt for the education of each child. The figures ranged from S4SUt, the amount spent per child by New Hanover, to $lB.lO per child, which Scotland county spent. New Hanover spent more for the educa tion of Its rural children thiin it did tot the education of the children of the city (of Wilmington. This is the only county in the State where the expenditure for jirnvidihg educational faculties for the country children was greater than that spent for the education of the children in city schools in a county. Two important elements enter into the difference between expenditures for city and country fhildren. The first is the difference iii th length of the school term. The larger cities run rtie'r schools for nine months arid even tlie smaller cities j run for eight months dr (fibre. The aver- I age length Os terai in it county docs not run more than six and a half or seven months. The othir factor which makes this dif ference will be found in the training re quired for city teacher’s. Winston-Salem last .veat spent sl.- 152.481 for 11,016 enrolled children, or h per capita of $194,02 for each clbld. This is the largest amount any city sys tem spent (luring the year. Os this amount, howevyr. mote than $000,009 was for capital outlay. In the matter of cost of actual instruction. Roanoke Its ir itis led the State, with $02.42 per capita ou the actual teaching, of children. Greensboro is second, with $58.13: Dur ham third, with $53.28, and Fayetteville is at the bottom of sh? 24 larger city systems, with an expenditure of $30.09 per child for instruction. Public ownership of telephone seems to lie on the wane in .Europe. Recently the Spanish and Italian governments have reded their resyective state tele phone systems to private enterprise, fol -1 lowing the' example of Greeo which took sililar action some time ago. The Pol ish government has also transferrerd its telephone exchanges.in a number of cities to a company in which the state is only a minority stockholder. In Norway, Sweden ami Denmark, where the tele phone has beeu developed to a greater ex tent than anywhere else in Europe, the systems are either operated by. or have been largely developed under, private en terprise. j The good or bad thing about being in love is you can’t drink.
