BEFORE SHE COULD STOP HIM
Bride's Husband Thoughtlessly Re
veals Hidden Unwashed Dishes to
Her Mother-in-Law.
I had been married only a week, and
my husband was proud of my good
housekeeping. As he came home from
his work tired at night, I decided not
to let him help me with the dishes, and
yet I wanted to remain fresh and
dainty for him in the evening. I solved
the problem in this way.
The stove in our kitchen contained
two ovens—one large, and, my husband
thought,*useless. However, 1 was of
; a different mind regarding it, for after
I had washed the pots, pans, silver,
! and glassware, I rinsed the remaining
dishes and surreptitiously shoved them
Into the large oven—which we never
used. The next morning I washed
them with the breakfust dishes, and
friend husband was none the wiser.
My husband’s mother whs the last
word in housewifely neatness, and I
lmd often heard George laud her sys
tem in the kitchen. One evening she
came bag and baggage to pay us an
unexpected visit. The next morning
at breakfast, my husband directed her
attention to our dainty kitchen—and
then before I could stop him opened
the large oven door to exhibit its spa
ciousness—revealing the hidden un
washed evidences of my sloth!
The look of housewifely horror on
the face of my mother-in-law is never
to be forgotten.—Chicago Tribune.
LESSENING RISKS TO LIFE
Automatic Illumination of Lifeboats
When They Are Launched From
Ship Is Tested.
An invention for lessening rtsks to
life at sea by the automatic illumina
tion of lifeboats when they are
launched from a ship’s side has just
been tested by British board of trade
officials.
The inventors are two partners in
the firm of Messrs. T. Blair & Co.,
ship’s store merchants, in East London.
By their device two small electric
lamps are switched on by contact es
tablished from a float contained in a
tube fixed to the stempost of the life
boat.
The float is forced up the tube by
water when the boat is launched.
Storage batteries capable of giving
twenty-four hours’ continuous light to
the lamps are carried on board.
Under present board of trade regu
lations every ship’s lifeboat has to
carry an oil lamp and a dozen boxes
of matches ip a sealed watertight tin.
The inventors of the new device
claim that it will eliminate much of
the risk of liftboats being run down.
A Genius.
A crusty banker who had risen to af
fluence from an bumble start on a
farm had half promised a boyhood
friend to give the latter’s son a place
In his office. The old farmer came in
to talk the matter over and was rather
timorous about the boy’s qualifications,
explaining that he wTas Just a country
lad who knew how to plow, take care
of pigs and milk. He wound up by
stating: “The boy knows enough to
keep his mouth shut. That’s about all
I can say.”
The listener for the first time dis
played interest.
“That’s enough,” declared the bank
er. “That’s education enough for any
man.”
Origin of Word “Brandy.”
The original name of the liquor
known as brandy was brandywlne,
from the fact that (In the countries
where it ‘is not prohibited by law) it
was, and still is produced by the dis
tillation of wines. The word lost its
“wine” part because the English lan
guage has the happy faculty of drop
ping unessential parts of words to
save time.
“Brandy" traces its origin* to the
word “brand,” as in “brand from the
burning,” for the simple reason that
the product known as “brandy" or
“cognac” was produced by the process
of burning, which in all the Germanic
languages Is designated by some form
of the word “brand.” To the word
“brund” as in "'“brandy,” the word
“burn” is also related.

YOU SHOULD KNOW
YOUR HOME TOWN
Many a citizen of O’Neill who brags
about his own community speaks from
faith rather than knowledge. A lcoal
man suggests that it would be a good
idea to “know your home town” and he
has asked us to iprint a few sugges
tions. Here they are. Study them,
post yourself on them and the next
time you go to boost the town you’re
proud of you’ll be in a position to back
up the argument. Here are the ques
tions : What is the poifflation T How
did the site of the town happen to be
selected? How did it get its name?
What is the birth rate? What is the
death rate? What are the chief na
tural resources? Do many of your
citizens own their own homes ? What
per cent are renters ? Is there proper
ventilation and light in our school
houses in thi3 community? What
about our water supply? Is the sup
uly adequate to meet all emergencies,
and is the water pure ? What kind of
schools have we ? Are they receiving
the cooperation of our citizens that
they deserve ? What have we here in
O’Neill to offer the man with a family
who is seeking a permanent home ?
