"What are you drinking, Maud, dry

"Dry," said Lady Maud.
"Then try sweet," said Jack, with
a laugh. "I heard a good riddle the

The other evening we were talking
to Mr, Braneby Williams, the delight-

The scene was a London parish, and
the period recent. The vicar was eit-
ting in hie etudy one morning when in
buret the verger in a great state of
excitement.

name) "wants you at once, sir," he
exclaimed, "Ile has married two cou-
ples and marriej the two men to' the
wrong women, and he does not know
what to do!"
"Have they eigned the register?" in-
ouired the clergyman.
"No," was the verger's response.
"Then they can be married again,"
said the vicar. "Tell Mr. — $ will
be at the church in a minute or two
to perform the ceremony."
In diie course the incumbent made
hie way to 'the church and found the
Parties gathered at the entrance,
Before he could say anything one of
the bridegrooms approached and said./

The Spring is a time of anxiety to
mothers who have little ones in the
home, Conditions make it necessary
to keep the baby indoors. He is often
confined to overheated badly ventilat-
ed rooms and catches colds which rack
-his whole system. To guard against
.this a box of Baby's Own Tablets
should be kept in the house and an
occasional dose given the baby to
keep his stomach and bowels working
regularly. This will prevent colds;
constipation or colic and keep baby
well. The Tablets are sold by medi-
cine dealers of by mail at 25 cents a

What Saved the Home.
In the American Magazine a man
who has had twenty-five years' matri-
monial experience says that he and his
wife were growing farther apart and
constantly quarreling. The family
would. have been wrecked had it•not
been fOr two things, which he de-
scribes as follows:
"First was the baby -a healthy,
charming child -to whom we were in-
tensely devoted. For months the baby
was -about the only subject we could
agree upon. The other safeguard was
our sense of humor. I have since
thought that ,no two persons should
ntarry unless one oz the other has a
sense' of humor. With us the sense of
humor usually came to the rescue at
the most trying times. One or the oth-
er of us would be struck with the lu-
dicrous feature of our quarrel and
laugh, and pretty soon we made up."

ODD FACTS ON COLD.
Curious Results of Excessive Lo
Temperature.
Cold presents many odd facts. I
the first place, water made by mel
ing snow is very unwholesome an
causes painful inflannnation of t
throat, palate and tongue.
Intense cold causes a dulling of t
senses,tage and smell becoming almost
nil. The leek of these two senses
seems, however, to be a very kind
and wise provision of riature to en-
able the traveller in the cold Arctic
regions to eat all kinds Of oily, dis-
agreeable foods like blubber and fat,
which are necessary as heat produc.
ere, The effect of cold on the eyes is
very dangerous. It causes them first
. gradually to elose and then to freeze
tight.
Beards do not freeze except Where
the Moisture frail the breath is con-
verted into siloW, but the color glands
are rendered somewhat torpid by the
cold, and dark beards gradually be-
come lighter, Until after a while
they sclera entirely changed in color,
Another turious fact about the cold
Of the Arctic Malone is that when a
person stops walking or 'working, in
any way whereby the feet get exercise,
taw sole ot the foot loses an sense of
feeling,
In all eXtremely cold lends, the mois
tore exhaled from the body condenses
into small, hard erystalc which make
quite a bit of noise as tins walks about,

Fountain Pens Old.
If 'fountain pens have not attained
perfection in the present day it is not
because their youth warrants their in-
discretions, for, according to a writer
In the Pall Mall Gazette (London), this
form ef combined ink reservoir and
pen has been in use for over 300 years.
E. S. Bates in his "Touring in 1600"
shows, he says, that travellers wrote
with them at that time. In the fol-
lowing century they appear to ,have
, been in common use, a dictionary pub-
lish'ed in 1754 defining "fountain pea"
as "ti pen made of silver, brass, etc.,
, eontrived to contain _a. considerable
quantity of ink and let it flow out by
degrees. To use the pen the cover
, must be taken off and the pen a, little
shaken to make the ink run more free-
ly." British patents were obtained
for fountain pens in 1809, one being
granted to Joseph Brannah of Rock
fame and another to F. H. Foelsch
