exactly to his liking lie has been accustomed to live in very simple fashion and put up with out many things which people often consider the necessities of existence While making their experiments the Wright brothers have had to manage as they could in order to live and go on with their study of air navigation Their success and the orders they have received for aeroplanes place them be yond the necessity of undergoing the hardships they have cheerfully met in the past But success has not turned their heads or animated them with a desire to shine in the social world While Wilbur Wright upholds the in terests of the family abroad Orville Wright takes care of the home affairs lie is now slowly recovering from the injuries he received in the accident to his aeroplane during the army tests at Fort Myer Va but it is found that In consequence of that accident and the breaking of a thigh one of his legs will always be shorter than the other Orville Wright is looking forward to the

In a small family of well to do people When asked if she understood all the details of her work she unhesitatingly replied Sure I do maam Her mistress was not quite satisfied however and while she was busy with her flrst washing looked In upon her Bridget seemed to be doing all right aud she left without offering sugges tions Next morning the Ironing was in or der and Bridget was hard at it when her mistress looked in to say As you get the clothes ironed just throw them over the horse All right maam the busy laundry girl replied without stopping to raise her eyes from her work in hand The laundry room was located in an outhouse adjoining the barn and occa sionally the neighing of the family horse and the merry voice of Bridget resounded throughout the house Returning to the laundry house a couple of hours later the lady could scarcely believe her eyes nor restrain her mirth when she beheld the fam ily horse standing patiently beside Bridget loaded down with newly ironed sheets pillowcases tablecloths and lace trimmed waists and skirts With an anxious look on her honest face Bridget observed Im glad youve come maam for Ill have to have another horse Working Too Hard The owner of the farm had been en joying himself at the county fair while his hardworking wife stayed at home to see that the farm suffered no loss in his absence Well Sarah said the owner upon his return

York Herald The Popular Coral The dealer held up two strings of coral They were of equal size but one was dark and dull in hue the other beautifully pink and translucent The dark one he said is worth 50 cents the pink one Is worth 300 That is what makes coral so popular It suits all pocketbooks All over the world it goes These strings of rough uncut beads are for the dead of India They are put round the necks of the bodies about to be burned in the ghats These large and blood red beads go to Africa They are much liked by the natives whose dark skins they perfectly suit Here are a lot of coral hands with fingers extended in a V the gesture that wards off the evil eye The coral hands are for Italy where the belief in their efficacy is wide spread Buffalo Express He Would Return Marlow was three years old One day his mother said to him Now Marlow you may go outdoors to play for awhile but if I see you crossing the street to play with that naughty little boy AVillie Burr again Ill give you a hard hard spanking Half an hour later the mother looked out after her boy and saw him playing with Willie Burr She raised the win dow aud called with forced gentleness Marlow come here to me Marlow came but as he did so he turned to his companion and said You stay wight here Willie Im doiu in to det spanked Ill be wight back Delineator Catching Rats The best way to catch rat is to put any animal substance well perfumed with oil of rhodium into a trap This induces them to enter readily and even draws them from a considerable dis tance as they are extremely partial to this oil An ounce of oil of rhodium will cost you oO cents Catnip to a cat is nothing like rhodium to a rat Oil of rhodium is made from a species of bindweed and is used in perfumery New York Press The Wrong
