DENOUNCED BOON TO MANKIND.

A certain English vicar made himself notorious by the vigor with which In the seventeenth century, he inveighed against the use of the newly Invented optic glasses, since they per verted vision snd made all things appear In an unnatural and therefore false light. Microscopes snd telescopes. with their array of lenses, he declared to be Impostors, since a man could not see so well with two pairs of spectacles as with one. Some as sened It to be sinful to assist the eyes, which were adapted by Providence to the capacity of the individual, whether good, bad or Indifferent. It was argued that society at large would become demoralised by the use of spectacles: they would give one man ai^ unfair advantage over bli fellow, and every man an unfair advantage over every woman, who could no expected on aesthetic and Intellectual grounds to adopt the practice.

The Family Honor. "Bobby." asked the teacher of the dais In arithmetic, addressing the question to one of the yonnger pupils, "how many pints are there in s gal Ion?" "I"ve forgot It again, ma'am." said Bobby, who found it hard to com mit to memory the tablet of weights

Thinking that perhaps by turning from the abstract to the concrete she might succeed better in stimulating his power of recollection, the teacher tried another tack. "Bobby," she said, "your father Is a milkman, isn't he?" "Yes. ma'am." "Well, now, think as hard as you can. fie sometimes sells a gallon can full of milk, doesn't be? Just so. Well, when be does, bow many pints of milk are there in that gallon i "It's all milk, ma'am!" Indignantly exclaimed Bobby.

Not an Unmlxed Evil. Angust Anderson, a wealthy Minnesota fanner, brings his family Into Duluth during the deer seaaon. bolds that hundreds of prowling huntsmen, delirious wiih "buck lever" then make the country dangerous to human life. "But every cloud has Its silver lining," said Mr. Anderson In Duluth the other day. "My family enjoys this yearly trip to the city snd we manage to get a good deal of shopping done. “So you see, our flight from the deer shooters has Its advantages. It la like the case of the housewife who at the so and of a crash started suddenly from her chair and cried: " There!

NEW GUINEA HOUSES

Placed Higher in Earlier Days to Prevail Surprise by Enemy—Llfs In Far-Off Country Ideal Boston.—Of all the habitations of man none is more strange to the eyes of a civilised person than the houses In New Guinea, the largest island In the world. Lying north of the continent of A as traliu. and south of the Philippines. New Guinea Is peopled by semi-sav-age tribes, to whom tbe ways erf white men are as yet so new that many of their ancient customs survive. Among these is tbe building of houses In trees, or on pilings ovei the land or the water. In some parts of the Island are whole villages built half a mile from shore. Everywhere lo the Interior of the Island the bouses are built several feet above the ground, and In certain communities the tree bouse, a survival of the days wben 'be tribes were usually at war with one another, may still be seen. The primary purpose of the tree house is to protect its owner against surprise from an enemy. In war time he takes hls family, arms and provisions, climbs to bis house and draws the ladder up after him. But why cannot bis enemy cut don the tree, may be asked. Such a thing would be simple If the tree cutter could wear a suit ot armor and have an ax that would resist tbe dulling effects of wood as hard as lignum vitae. The tribes of New Guinea have no means of protecting themselves against the poisoned arrows of an enemy except their shields, sod s shield would be rather awkward to manage when cutting down a tree haring a family at tbe top dropping down

AMBITION FOR LITTLE SON.

Outside Columbia university way station Is a pathetic Instance of tbe eagerness of a newly-arrived Hal lan to learn English, says the New York Herald. He tells pesnnts at corner of the university grounds, and can be seen any time of day laboring over an English reader, tbe same hls little ten-year-old child studlc tbe public school nearby. Shortly after three In the afternoon he Is Joined by his Utile Rocco. whom he dally recites hls lest Many a passerby stops before touching picture of the middle aged father listening with rapt attention the boy's explanation of tbe printed page. Rocco Is not the only' teacher. Occasionally a Columbia student pauses to help him with s difficult word, or at least to Inquire what progress he Is making. One of them the other day Interrupted the lesson with: "Well. Giuseppe, you’ll soon be ready for the university, won't you?" "No. I no go-a—I no go-a," smiled Giuseppe sadly. Then, flinging arm passionately around hls little teacher, he added proudly: "Bo'- Rocco. be go-a soon. Six. en year, he go-a Columbia. Then be be gentleman. Rocco." Washing Wool Shawls. Many people having yarn or shawls (knit or crocheted). And that they stretch out of shape snd present s hopelessly stringy appearance aftei washing. I have a white and pink shell pattern which hat been washed many times, and always looks like Lay your shawl out. perfectly flat on s piece of cloth sufficiently largt to cover It. sod baste with heavy thread several times around, until held firmly In place.

In good suds of wool soap, squeezing rather than rubbing; rinse well, press lug out as much water as you ca: without wringing; hang on line to dry When properly dry. remove covering and you will find your shawl In per tact condition—light and fluffy, am not stretched si alt—National Magr

How Times Havs Changed. "Tbe times are changing." said Bailiff William Phipps. ' You know they used to say that you could always look around and see a while horse whenever you spied s redheaded woman. Generally, too. It war true. It's different now. T was walking tbe Circle yesterday sad saw s girl so red headed that I'd be willing to take out fire Insurance on her. 1 looked about for the pro verblal white horse, and discovered nothing but six automobiles. Verily, the times are changing."—Indlanapo Us News Playing Poverty. Tbe little princess. Victoria Louise of Prussia, was playing with her friends one day. and longed for some iw. original play. All tbe old games were worn onl and exhausted. If only they could think of something quite different! Bar serene highness considered tbe matter seriously until a novel Idas occurred to her. and she cried with aoUroalasm: "We win play poor people! Let us play that wa are poor, frightfully poor, so poor that wa havs only two Ipckaya!" .

stones, hot water and poisoned darts and arrosrs. Besides, the savages had only stone axes In the days when the tree houses were used as fortIn these days the tree houses of New Guinea serve the same purpose as all the other elevated dwellings on the island—they keep their occupants safe above the ferer-eoaked ground, with Us deadly night mists, and they also keep off deadly beasts. Life In New Guinea, for a savage. It Ideal, since It is not necaosary to work for a living, and the wearing of clothes Is not considered necessary. The forest supplies food In abundance. In the way of bananas, yams snd sago, while hogs flourish In tbe wild growth, snd form thw staple meat diet of the people. Cocoanuts. which grow abundantly 1 over tbe Island, are much used for food, and the milk of the young nut U a common drink. The meat of the nuts, when dried. Is s staple article of barter with traders. In the homes of New Guinea housekeeping Is reduced to Its simplest eles. The cooking utensils are ten pots. The stove Is a little day platform In the middle of the bouse floor, surrounded by a fender of saplings, woven and smeared with clay. For beds hammocks made of vegetable fiber are generally used, and are best suited to the climate. Bedding Is

a need not extend beyond the preparation of sago porridge and the roasting ot a pig. The ho usee are made of palm leaves woven into a thatch for the root, and sides of bamboo. The floors era split

The 'Patient Countryman. In driving through a certain part of New England where a number of uniters have bought farms and made their summer homes I remarked to a farmer's wife who lived In midst that there seemed to be a good many literary people In that neig borhood. ' Yaa," she replied, with certain air of resignation, "there a i don't mind

I wish I could quote the tone voice In which this remark was ms It was that more than the words— though tbe words are ami enough, particularly as Mark Twain one of the literary people whom she alluded.—The Lounger. Putnam's Monthly.

Postmistress for 24 Ysara. Mrs. Ann E. Parr has resigned her position as postmistress at Owl's Head, Maas., and James A. Brown has been appointed In her place.

Hidden among the beams of tbe toot of a farmhouse on the Thorney estate, near Peterborough, England, belonging to the duke of Bedford, tbe will has bean discovered of a farmer named Cava, who died at the place a century ago, leaving property worth £10.000. Tbe bouse has long been reputed to be haunted by a lady In a red chlnts dress, who always beckoned toward tha celling of a certain bedroom.
