The day was hot. the hour rapidly approaching closing time, and the salesman thor □ nughly worn out and tired. Still, he was a good salesman, and the customer before him—a 1 a d y faultlessly attired in next year's fashions— had all the ap pearance of being a really liberal purchaser. Cheerfully, therefore, lie unrolled and re-rolled piece after piece of lin oleum for her inspection. But all to no purpose. Nothing, it seemed, could satisfy her hypercritical taste. “I’m extremely sorry, madam." said the salesman, “but I’m afraid I've shown you all the linoleums I have in stock. Of course, I can get some more up from our factory; and if you care to call again tomorrow—" “Yes,” broke in the customer, “per haps I’d better leave it at tlint. You see, I want quite a small design—some thing suitable for the floor of a canary's cage.” PURITY OF NATURAL ICE Common Notion That Manufactured Article Is Best Shown to Be Fallacy. The eomtnon remark that natural ice is not so pure as the manufactured kind is somewhat of a fallacy. Practi cally 09 per cent of all the impurities are cast off by nature In the process of freezing. The remainder of the im purities that are included in the ice die in transportation. Sometimes, of course, even in a healthy flowing stream, nature slips up and a germ does get locked up in an ice crystal, but this is usunlly the finish of th< troublesome germ, for though the cold does not often kill him the fact he can not roam about and search for food brings on starvation. Some germs die quickly, others live a week, while laboratory tests show that the typhoid germ lives longest — its maximum limit of life white frozen In ice being placed at three mon lis. Since natural Ice Is usually stored at least ninety days before it is shipped to market, the matter of its purity need not lie doubted. Many tests of natural ice have shown Ihat it is far more pure than the city water of most communi ties.—Floyd W. Parsons in the Satur day Evening Post. ii^ i .wcuHHPnnnHtfMi WSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSKSSSSSSSSSSSSS-; BACON HAD A RELAPSE.

The origin of the loving cup is hazy. Some investigators have asserted that Its beginning was the wassail bowl, be longing to festivities antedating the Christian era. and that on the advent of Christianity the custom of wassail ing assumed a religious aspect. The monks called the wassail bowl the “poealum caritatls" (loving cup). The ceremony of drinking from one rnp and pnsslng it around was observed at the Jewish pascal supper and on other notable occnsions. Live Near to Others. Work the mine of your own home.

Smallest Component of Matter. An electron is the smallest known component of matter. Scientists have weighed and measured electrons, and can even estimate their number. But ihey haven't seen them. They are too tiny to appear upon the microscopic field, although the microscope reveal* objects so minute that 12o.00(>,000,000 j of them could tie crowded Into a cubic ! centimeter. Sea-Serpent Myth Exploded. Between 1844 and '40 there were many reports of sm serpents having been seen off the const of Canada. It chanced however, that a creature Ac scribed In wonderful terms came "shore In the Orkneys, and some of the hones of the vertebral column were sent to a London scientist. He was able to declare positively that the ani mal In question was nothing more nor leas than a huge shark.

Vegetable soup, crackers, omelet creamed pota I toes with pens, tomato salad, sponge i cake with a custard and a small cup of I coffee Is a good menu for dinner.

Rhubarb Pudding.—Spread bread with butter and cover with a layer of cut rhubarb; sprinkle with sugar and repeat until there is enough for each to be served.
