Kit: " a ODD WEATHER DEVICES NATURE FURNISHES MANY SIM PLE OUT INTERESTING ONES. Swiss Weather-House, a Common Toy, Quite Trustworthy Chameleon Barometer a Curiosity Simple Test for Humidity. One of the oldest and simplest Rays of telling whether the air Is dry or moist is to suspend a piece of seaweed out of doors, or even in an apartment where there is no artificial heat. The weed is crisp and dry at the approach of fine weather, while it Is flabby and moist when rain is likely. A comniou toy, the Swiss weather house, is really quite trustworthy in its forecasts, says the Strand. The woman, of course, emerges from the little house in fine weather, while the man comes out when wet conditions aro to be expected. In a medium state of the atmo sphere both figures stand Just inside the house. The movements are due to the twisting of a cord of catgut, a substance which is highly sensitive to changes in the humidity of the air. Two very singular weather devices aie those in which a frog and a leech are employed. In the former case a glass jam-jar is filled to about two thirds of its capacity with water. A little wooden ladder is constructed, and this is placed inside the jar. A frog will live quite happily in such a position for a few weeks, and it will be found that in fine weather the creature will climb out up to the top of the ladder. In stormy weather, however, the frog prefers to remain under tho water. Even more reliable as weather prophets ere leeches. A single leech is placed in a broad glass bottle with a piece of perforated blidder or leath er over the mouth. On the approach of fine or frosty weather the leech re mains almost motionless, curled up at the bouom. V.'hen rain or wind is cGtaiurj the creature rises to the sur. face, while a coming thunderstorm will cause it to be much agitated; at times the leech will even leave the water nl together, so sensitive is the animal to an electrical disturbance. The chameleon barometer is a curi osity which has puzzled many people, - - - - - .. .. ' simple. The animal changes color ac cording to the weather, being pink in damp conditions, rurple in a variable rtate, and bright blue when the air is dry. A cardboard mount is prepared, and this may be lettered in sections, Fair Storm and Change. The chame lecn is skeiched out on blotting-paper, dr.d then immersed in a solution of chloride of sodium and gum arable. Any chemist will mako up the mix ture. A moi-e beautiful chemist hygro scope is formed of a flower made of white blotting-paper which has been immersed in the cobalt mixture. The blossoms show many varying shades, from bright pink to sky blue, with the changes in the degree of dampness in tho atmosphere. A somewhat curious eiorm-glass was introduced by tho late Admiral ritzrey. This is formed of a glass tube, stoppered, but with" a small hole through the cork. Into the tube has been poured a mixture of camphor, nitre, sal ammoniac, alcohol and wa ter. The changes in the state of the atmosphere are indicated by the pro duction of feathery growths, these ex tending upward at the approach of a Ftorm and retreating to the lower part cf the tube in quiet weather. Spiking Obsolete Nowadays. One reads in the war news that the Italians found that guns in the Tripoli forts "spiked." If that 13 meant lit erally they must have been guns of mainly antiquarian interest. The expression, "spiking gun3," i3 a survival, from the day when all that was necessary to put a gun out ot action (provided, cf course, that you had access to it) was a large nail or epike and a hammer. You simply drove the nail into the touch-hole at the breech. If the nail was long enough to turn round at the end, oa the bottom of the bore, bo much the better. It is just as simple, perhaps sim pler, to put a modern gun out of ac tion! AJ1 you want Js a hammer. Tho breech block of the modern gun is held closed by screw threads, after the breech block is shut on the shell, a turn of two or three inches engages the threads. I3y knocking a burr on these threads you prevent them en gaging. Any attempt to fire the guu without the breech block being perfect ly closed would, of course, be of ma terial assistance to the enemy. The Average Man.

The Youth's Companion, of Bos ton, pei haps the most influential general family weekly in the world, publishes on its editorial page a striking picture of ex-Governor Ay cock and writes of him as follows: "Rarely does a man's death fit his life so well as that of the late Charles B. Aycock, once Governor of North Carolina. No wonder the manner o? his dying touched the dramatic Sense of the people of his State, and indeed, of the whole South. "Aycock's life-work was a long and successful fight for more ar.d better public schools for his people. He was a remarkable orator, and a public msm of unusual parts and equipment, deeply interested in many public questions. But when, i a decade or more ago, he was chosen Governor of his State, he determined to devote himself to what he felt to be the supreme need of his people at that time. "It was a time when North Caro lina, like the other Southern States, was at last emerging from the pov erty and depression that followed the war a period during which it had simply been impossible for the South to keep pace in educa.ional progress with the rest of the coun try. "So the young and brilliant Gov ernor made education the constant theme of his oratory. He preached better schools from every platform in the State. He fought for them in political conventions. He became known far and wide as 'the Educa tional Governor.' And he won his fight. The people responded to his ploouence with an enthusiasm that to this day remains effective and un diminished. "He died as he had lived, for the end came while he was addressing a great audience at Birmingham, A'a. His subject was "Univeival Educa tion,' and it is said that 'education' was the very last word he spoke be fore he threw up his arms, reeled backward, and fell down dead be fore the thousands who had just been applauding him. All parties and all races in North Carolina be gan at once to contributs to a mar ble monument to his memory. But he has already monuments by the thousand; eveiy school house in the Old North State is one of them." Let the Truth Stand. In Lilian Whiting's "The Brown ngs" occurs this anecdote: "In the last days in Venice Browning was readiug to his son and daughter-in-law that 'Epilogue' which sums up his own attitude to life and its problems the familiar verse beginning, 'One who never turned his back, but marched breast forward,' and. paus ing at the stanza, raid, 'It seems al most like praising myself to say that, and yet it is true, the eimplo truth, and 8C I ehall not conceal It.' " IMPORTANT MASONIC NOTICE. Gram Scottish Rite Benoton at Enfield oo May 91 IQIO Enfield, N. C, May 20. For the first time in years it will be possible for third and fourteenth degree Masons in good standing to receive all the degrees to and including the thirty-second degree at the Masonic Temple, Enfield, N. C, on Friday, May 31, 1912. A special dispensa tion has been secured from Hon. James Wakefield Cortland, thirty third degree Sovereign Grand In spector for North Carolina for Caro lina Consistory of Charlotte, to hold a meeting at Enfield and communi cate and confer all degrees. Ordin arily a Mason re-iding in Eastern North Carolina must go to Charlotte and spend a week to become a thirty second degree Mason. This is a wonderful saving of time and ex pense, and such a dispensation is not easy to secure, and it is to be hoped that the Masons of Eastern North Carolina will appreciate this splendid opportunity and take ad vantage of it, or it will never again be granted. Masons south of Enfield must come Friday morning on the shoofly and from the north on No. 89. You cannot come on No. 80 and get the degrees. Bring your blue lodge re ceipt. While you will receive the degrees at Enfield, you will be a member of the higher bodies at Charlotte and the officers of Carolina Consistory, Charlotte, and the Charlotte Con sistory Choir will be present and confer the degrees. At Enfield we have the first two Scottish Rite bodies: Lodge of Per fection, fourth to fourteenth de gree, and Chapter of Rose Croix, fifteenth to eighteenth degree. The Council of Kadosh, nineteenth to thirtieth, and Consistory, thirty first and thirty-second degrees, are at Charlotte as stated. While ycu receive the degrees in Enfield you are membeis of the Charlotte bodies above the eighteenth degree. The fees charged by these bodies for the degrees are as follows: Lodge of Perfection, fourth to fourteenth de- gree inclusive, $25.00; Chapter oft Rose Croix, fifteenth to eighteenth degree inclusive, $25.00; Council of Kadosh, nineteenth to thirtieth de gree inclusive, $30.00; Consistory, thirty-first and thirty-second de grees. $55.50; total, $136.50. The annual dues are $1.00 per year in each body. All fourteenth degree Masons are especially invited to ?oin our new Chapter of Rose Croix. A Mason may take all or any part of the degrees at this time. We shall have splendid work, beautiful mu sic and a nice banquet. No Mason ever regretted beginning the beau tiful Scottish Rite journey and you are cordially invited to start at this meeting. A warm and cordial greeting awaits .you at Enfield on Friday, May 31st. Fraternally yours, Harry W. Gowen, 32 deg., Venerable Master Lodge of Perfec fection, and Wise Master Chspter Rose Croix. IMPORTANT NEWS TO CALOMEL USERS. Dodscn's Liver-Tone is a Perfect Vevetable Substitute for Calo mel and in Guaranteed Ab solutely Harmless. If you have trouble with constipa tion or biliour.ness, be careful how you take calomel, because calomel is a form of mercury, and if mercu ry remains in tho system very long long, it will salivate and seriously in j ire the strongest person that ever lived. If you need something to start the liver to working take Dodson's Liver-Tone. It is a harmless vege tible liquid which will liven up the liver better than calomel does and without any bad after-effects. No restriction of habit or diet is necer sary. Dodson's Lh7er-Tone is as safe for children as it is for grown people and everybody likes its taste. Buv a bottle for fifty cents from E. T. Whitehead Company's drug store, and if you do not find that it absolutely takes the place of calo mel, this drug store will give you your money back if you ask for it. Paid Proportionate Share. A poor fellow having with difficulty procured an audience of the duke ot Newcastle, told bis grace he only came to solicit him tor something to- .i - c-nnrt and as they were of the same family, both being descend ed from Adam, hoped he should not be refused. "Surely not," said the duke, "surely not there is a penny tor you, and If all the rest of your relations will give you as much you 11 be a richer man than I am." TO TELL FUNNY STORY PROPER METHOD IS REVEALED BY THEOPHILUS SMIFF. Take Joke by the Hand and Lead It About Until Thoroughly1, Acquaint ed, Then Assume Air of Un dertaker and Spring It. Ever since Cain slew Abel for call, ing one of his pet jokes a "chestnut," the world has been taking lessons in the art of being funny. The desire to be funny lurks in every human breast. There have been men who have lived it down, and these have in variably become great statesmen. The Morning Telegraph has called upon Theophilus Smiff, the great ex pert and scientist, who is said to have been the first man who ever made a theater box office man smile, but he kept his secret well and be came famous. Prof. Smiff said: "Humor is anything that is funny. It is in everything and in everybody. Extracted humor is followed by laugh, ter, for It is by striking the responsive humor chord in the human breast that we get our only true effects. "Therefore, no matter how good the joke, unless it be told in a manner to strike that cord, it falls of its own dead weight and furnishes us with one of the saddest sights in life. "Select from any well known joke book a story. It should not be toe new, as it is likely not to go so well as an old reliable joke that has been through several campaigns. Then cut from it all unnecessary adjectives, de scriptions and apologies. "Never apologize for a joke. "Take your joke by the hand, and after having led it about until you know all of its family history, assume the air of a funeral director telling the relatives from which side of the casket they are to view the late la mented, and then give utterance tc your jape. "The best way is to get the point ol tho story well in mind and thea put it away entirely until you need it. Notli ing so intereferes with tho success of a Joke as to have ihe point hanging around in plain sight before the story Is well started. "Remember above all things that the face should be solemn, and the voice low and well modulated, with just a suspicion of sadness in it. . "Learn to pause at the right piace and if you are in doubt at all, the besl place to pause Is just before you start "This has been kuown to save s man many friends that he otherwise might have lost." New York Mornlnf Telegraph. Wonderful Curiosity. On tho banks of the Willlamette river, a short distance above Portland Ore., stands one of the most remark able rocks In the world. It is known as the Balancing rock. Rising from a broad base is a small column, rough ly round in shape. Just above this is a huge mass of rock, bearing a tree on the summit, the total height cf rock and column being about 100 feet. Al though a great deal larger and heav ier than the pillar on which it stands, the big rock is very accurately bal anced. For how many centuries this odd freak has stood not even the wisest scientists are able to determine but it has evidently been there for a very long period. The entire rock is of a volcanic nature, and the most singular thing about it i3 the fact that the knob and pillar are entirely dis jointed from one another. Wind and weather, no doubt, aro slowly wear ing the Balancing rock away, but the process is so imperceptible that, fail ing some unforseen catastrorhe, the monument will probably endure fo; many centuries. Vanrierbilt Gets a Tip. There are a lot of stories told o: that famous amateur whip, Alfred Vanderbilt, who has once again take to himself a wife. On one occasi r he had an amusing experience while driving his coach between Londur and Brighton. At one stopping place an American approached him and hand ed him a substantial "tip."

Believe me, you cannot leave your children a better heritage than a deep and abiding love of books and a taste for the best in literature. j And you must begin when they are little. Read good books and poems to them and when they ffet old enough to read for themselves se what they are reading. Aside from the fact that what a child reads has a great effect on his character as an adult, there will come times when a love and appreciation of good books will brighten hours of loneliness or enforced idleness that would other wise be dark and gloomy indeed. To weep over the sorrows of little Nell or David Copperfield, or laugh at Mr. Mieawber or thrill at the ex ploits of Rob Roy or Ivanhoe or Mftimion will prove a panacea for dullness, yes, and grief, too, and leave one without any ruffled feelings-, such as interc urse with people vori;'time gives.
