"Th-'-re is nothing political In what I nm coini: to say." explained Youn;r. "I !:o!;ld Hot objeet to the jreiille man's proreediu' politically," replied V'i!r.;o. "I do not know of any more harm he could do than has been done." SVnator Hoke Smith of CJe-orIa has been doin practically all the talking in the s.-nate of late, and lie has not been iloini: te.uoh at that. There was a proposal l'or'n recess so as to al low renators to o home for lho elec tions, and many of them left Wash-in-rton. Afte-r tlie president lssuel his appeal for a Democratic congress, Ite pitblican senators would not prmit a r'-ess. and those who remained were prepared to say harsh things when the si nate met. Senator Smith toeik It upon Iiimself to see that tlu'.v elid noth ing of the kind. As soon as the chap lain tinishe-d prayer each morning the eieorjria senalor would make u point of no ep'oruin. Kveryeme knew It was !:npossih!e to ge-t anything likw a que rum, and there was nothing left to do but adjourn. Se-nator Knox of Pennsylvania will probably resume his old place a? chairman of the committee on rules of tlie senate. "It is not much more than being room clerk for the senate wing," Senator Knox remarked back Jn those either days. The rules com mittee has charge of the assignment of ooir.s to the different senators. Injustice. t?he is only five, but she lias a phi losophy of her own. "Things aren't just right." she said solemnly to u neighbor.

Probably no other hill In the worlJ has had so strangely varied a history or played so Important a part iu the affairs of then ns that at Greenwich, in England. Hie granite ine across the footpath on its-sumnit is the meridian from which the longitude oa every Britis'i map and chart is calcu- lated. All England sets its time by the mean solar clock. There is a largo palvnno-inagnetic cleick fixed on the uuimui; iiiin ul tut- uum'i vaimji ami divided Into 24 hours. There are many who believe that tliis clock is kept going' by the sun.

Boss' Leisur? Reported. On several ejeca.-ions, says Popular Science Monthly, when an exeetitive-'i-assistant desired to cemverse with hl superior the former was bu.-y on ti.e telephone, so I;e had to wait. To open the eloor every few minutes for the purpoe. of looking in or to have tho operator notify you when t'K receiver hr.3 been hung up is'both i:U noying and tinie-cnisun;ing. A private concern has installed an inexpensive device which eliminates tlie embar rassment. The executive's telephone has an ex tra connection which automat: cidly lights a small blue light at the a--i-t-ant's office when the former is using his phone. Assoon as the executive hangs up the receiver the light goes out and the assistant knows that his superior is accessible. This elevice, which is very inexpen sive, consists of two piece's connected with wires which run through tho cord to the assistant's office. Wild Animal Shipments. Yellowstone National park is grow ing in Importance as a propagating and distributing center for certain kinds of wild animals. During Fi brn ary last r.." oik, If, of which were bulls, were shipped to points in four .slates Idaho, Illinois, Texas and Minnesota. The Yellowstone contains more wil l animals in a state of nature than any other preserve In the world. It !s the policy "of the department of the in terior to part with superfluous elk. male tuffalo, beaver and bear to federal, state, county and municipal authori ties, for exhibition ami propagation, where laws exist which will properly protect them. Tea Dealers Troubles. Ten dealers claim' that since the be ginning of the war their profits have dwindled considerably. Since 1914 oe-ean freights have increased more than COO per cent; and in ad dition to the Increase In freight rnto3 there is a high rate of war insurance quite apart from marine Insurance. The cost of tea at the gardens In Cey lon and India has also increased, prin cipally because the British govern ment takes a large part of the output. A Canadian tea denier said lately that tea consumers in Canada were better served in quality for price than azy other country In the world. Bees Save Sugar. 7n this year of war, with a short age of sugar, more farmers will find it profitable to keep bees,, and the man who now keeps bees will find it profitable to give thorn better care," says Farm and Fireside, adding: "Ton. of honey go to waste every yea? through lack of bees- and through fail ure to care for lees in the nc.-r cient way.
