DID NOT NEED LARGE PIECE
Shopper Advises Patient Clerk She
Wanted Only Enough Linoleum
to Cover Canary's Cage.
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.

BACON HAD A RELAPSE.
The customer eyed the rash
! ers keenly. ;j
“I tell you. madam," pursued ;■
; the shopman, "that bacon Is us ;
! right as you are."
"I say it's bail,” persisted the ;
; ; customer.
“How can that he?" he rea
soned. “Why, it was only cured j
; last week j”
;jl “Well, all I can say then," she
concluded, as she turned away, j
; “is that It must have had a re- ;i

Origin of the Loving Cup.
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.
Dig deep into the affection of the wife
and little ones. Spend more time In
their company. Talk with them more.
Head to them and listen while they
read. Discuss the world's big ques
tions with them. Precious metal here.
And don’t be too busy to get better
acquainted with the neighbor young
folks. The man who lives near to the
heart of others, lives long, well and
happily.
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.
Too Smart.
“Did you see anything marked down
at the new department store?"
“Yes. the red elevator globes."

HOT WEATHER MENUS.
The appetite tings during the hot
weather, making it necessary to give
attention to foods
that are cooling ns
well as nourishing.
This is a good
time to cut down
meats, serving an
o ra e let or cro
q 11 e 11 e s with a
good sauce. A
small amount of meat may hi' used In
preparing the croquettes or they may
he made entirely of vegetables.
Cold fmit soups, fruit salads and
fruit cocktails are especially satisfy
f.ving on n hot day. Iced drinks of
various kinds are always welcome. For
u luncheon or supper, sandwiches with
any desired filling, sliced cold roast
beef, olives and radishes or small 1
onions well chilled, a dish of ice cream
or a sherbet and a cake will make a ;
satisfying meal for anyone. 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.
The breakfast of an orange or half a 1
grapefruit or a dish of berries with a
saucer of oatmeal and cream, a slice
or two of toast and a cup of coffee
will be sufficiently sustaining to lust
until tfie noon meal.
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. Add a little water and
hake until the rhubarb is well cooked.
Cherries or other acid fruit may he
used In place of the rhubarb. Sponge
cake with sweet berries may he treat
ed in the same way, making a most
wholesome dessert that you need not
fear to give to the children.
Rich desserts and sauces, fat nnd
highly seasoned meats, should he left
out of the menus during hot weather.
A supper dish that is economical
and wholesome can he prepared from j
a cupful of cooked rice with three or j
four eggs. Rut the rice with a little !
milk into a saucepan, add the egg«, ,
stirring them Into the mixture. Cook j
slowly, add a lilt of butter, salt and I
pepper and serve hot in place of scram- j
bled egg-. This will save three or four ;
eggs, which, without the rice, would [
he needed to make the dish "go round” |
in a family of five.

goosey gander, whither do you wander? Down stairs, up stairs, in milady's
chamber. There she met a bold man who wouldn’t say his prayers, took
trim by the left heel and tossed him down the stairs!” I thought it strange
for Mother Goose to be pleased at Goosey treating any one so rudely un

About three hundred years ago a bandit captain besieged a towering
tcistl* and commanded the beautiful princess who lived there to marry
(him. The proud girl refined. Very angry, he then carried her off to a
sorceress’s cave and bade the witch turn her into an awkward goose. The
Iwicked witch did so and the bad man paid her handsomely.

Hereafter becareful to avoid all goosies, for if this one should so much

be 4 gander for evermore,” said the witch to the bandit before sending
him along the north road and making unhappy goosey take the south road.
On the south road Goosey met Mother Goose aod to her told her troubiev
Determined to help Goosey, she hung out a card, saying: Witch
craft Practised Here.” As they had hoped, the same bandit, peeing the
sign, came in. Goosey picked at his heel, and when he landed at the foot
of the stairs he was an ugly gander! And Goosey was a lovely maid again.
► Bye and bye she married a Prince. Mother Goose blessed them both and
