She Said the Wrong Thing
I shall never forget the breakfast I
when I first knew
gave to a pretty girl
her the short man began It would
make your mouth water to hear what
it was grape fruit to begin with the
most delicate of breakfast food with
cream a choice broiled chicken It was
a late breakfast the finest of fruit
coffee I cant remember the things
I ordered for her at that breakfast and
what do you think she said when she
finished She said You neednt have
gone to so much trouble I dont care
for anything but a couple of eggs for
my breakfast and a piece of toast
It was the wrong thing to say I
will admit sighed his wife I was
that girl and I have been living evsr
since on a couple of eggs for my break
fast and a piece of toast New York

Sheathing a Ship
Sheathing a ship Is covering the bot
tom with a sheath of copper In all
seas but particularly in those of the
tropics the hulls of ships are liable to
the attack of certain worms which
penetrate the hardest wood and have
been known in the course of a few
months to damage the hull so as to
render the vessel worthless Copper
sheathing protects the ship not only
against the attacks of these borers
but also against decay and is especial
ly valuable in the case of iron ships
and becoming
the metal rapidly oxidizing
ing brittle when exposed to the action
of the sea water

SECRET WRITING
How Lottora May Bo Mado Safo From
Pryina Eyes
Even with the most unromantlc of
- us occnslous sometimes nrlse when we
should like to make some mcmorau
dum or write some letter which caniiot
those we wlsii to uo
bo read except by

Soak a sheet of irote paper in cold
water and lay It perfectly flat upon a
pane of glass Place above It another
sheet dry this lime and on the upper
sheet write your message with a fairly
hard pencil You now destroy the dry
paper and allow all the moisture to
evaporate from the wet piece Dont
hold It to the lire but let It dry
urally If you then examine it close
ly you will see not the faintest trace of
writing but if you moisten the paper
once more and hold it up to the light

THE PURSERS JOKE
Why Religious Services Were Not Held
on That Trip
On moH of th big ocean steamers a J
minister is usually found among tue
passengers and invariably he is called
upon on Sunday to couduct religious
service in the main dining saloon Oc
casionally the man of the cloth seeks
the purser and asks if he may conduct
Sabbath A case of
a sen ice on the
this sort happened recently on one of
the Red D steamers on the run from
New York to La Guayra A young
minictnr wlm tbree days before the
steamer sailed had taken orders from
a seminary and a day later a wife
asked the purser If he might conduct
religious service on the following day
which was Sunday The purser re
plied that the dining saloon was at his
disposal and that the passengers
would be informed At what hour
shall the service begin asked the
young minister The purser rubbed
his brow a moment and replied that
he could begin at nine bells The
minister and his bride appeared in the
dining saloon at 9 oclock In the morn
ing and waited four hours for the con
gregation which did not come On
the following day he listened again for
nine bells but heard them not New
