Better Buy Spanker. We understand that a petition is be ing circulated which will be presented to the town council asking the passage of curfew ordinance. In towns where the curfew law has been tried it is looked upon more as a joke than any thing else. The parents who cannot control their own offspring ought not expect the town officials to herd them up at a certain hour each night and send them home. The council had better buy a few patent "spankers" and present them to the parents who cannot keep their children off the streets after 9 p. m.

The heating of churches In winter was by no means general In the early (lays of New Knglaud, the warmth and fervor of the orhiieis' piety supply ItiK to some degree the lack of bodily heat. For some years after lis erection there was no means of heating the little St. Augustine" chapel In South Hoston, and Father Lynch, one of the early pastors, often hud a very cold rlile to the chapel In winter. He ac cordingly suggested to the parishion ers that a stove would be a alee thing to have. The parishioners raised the money aud bought the stove, which was of generous size and quite large euough to heat the whole chapel. In fact, It was too large, for the men who brought It were unable to get it In through the door, and so they left It Juiit outside in the ccpietery, where It was standing when Father Lynch ar rived the following Sunday morning. He took In the situation at a glance and said to the little group of parish ioners who were shivering In the cold: "Friends, I think you must have misunderstood what I said last Sunday ahout the stove. We want to heat the chapel, and not the cemetery." Rati' Cold Weather Retreat. Many animals snuggle together for warmth In bitter weather as the squirrels and the rats. Those who go ratting In hedges und dells In the win ter know they may try a dozen fresh ly used burrows without finding a rat when suddenly from a single hole the rats will come pouring out In a stream of frenzied fur. Twenty or more rats will be together In one hole. They are clever enough to block up a hole on the windward side to keep out the draught so that when a rat hole is noted, newly stopped with soli, turnip leaves or grass, here Is almost certain Indication that rats are with in. Like the squirrels they store food for winter and the keeper may find it more difficult to secure bis potatoes from frost thun from the attack of the most numerous of his furred foes. A Leading Question. Superintendent McLaren of San Francisco's system of public parks was inspecting the worlt of restoring I'nlon square to Its former beauty, now that the little St. Francis has been re moved. "I'm for heavin' this tin out; It's a bum little bush," remarked a garden er with a brogue. "Which one?" Inquired McLaren "You don't mean this beautiful little Scotch heather? All It needs Is more water and It will grow as tall as you are." "You're not so tall yourself, Mr. Mc Laren." "Not extraordinarily so." "I say, Mr. McLaren," reflected the gardener, thoughtfully, "did you ever try water yourself ?" San Francisco Chronicle. Fire Alarm Sunday Morning.

Us (litis m.d hoy a have all heard, per haps, that It is "unlucky" to spill r-idf, but thai the evil effect e. inny prohaMy lie averted by throwing some of It over your liyht '.boulder. It Is won derful how old mime of thene super sliilons are! Thin one ahout the salt, for example, ciliiie to us from Urn ancient Kenians. Salt was regarded by thein n-; an emblem of purltViillon, and they always placed some on the head of a victim in tacrlflco. If the salt were spilled In doing this, It waa looked upon as !'. bad omen. It Is said that I be (tomans got the custom iioiii 1 lie Jews, and after a while the spilling of salt on any occa sion was regarded as unlucky. The custom of throwing a part of It over the right shoulder arose from their belief that anything pertaining to the, right side was lucky, but to the left tide, unlucky. All Germicidei Not Good. Of late many count lies have been making ohiclul tests ns to the value of germicides. As a result II Is declared that the public should be careful In the, selection of a disinfectant, for there are in the market many which huve no germicidal act inn whatever. Prof. Hewlett, as u result of his tests, says that not only is the public defrauded, but there Is also a giave danger Intro duced when a person believed he was using something which would totally destroy genua and was thereby lulled Into a seme cf security when In reali ty no sense of security was justified. He claims that lor many years past I sanitary authoi itieii have been living ' In a fool's paradise vainly Imagining. : that the fluids I hey have been sprlnk I Hug nround have been dealing death j aud destruction to all germs und bac terial Intruders. Ills advice Is that I before buying a germicide th public i should Insist on receiving with It a j copy of a report on lis value by a bac I lerlologlst or properly qualified medi cal man of standing. 11 for $10 TI1E or Ranker in St. Louis, 71-S KANSAS CITY, MO.
