Om-e he was naked to lecture in a city not far from Philadelphia. He went. taking with him his dress suit and no other suit. Having given his lecture. he spent the night at the house of a tel- low professor. woke up the next morn- ing. cheerfully donned the dress suit and saliled forth to give another loco ture at the local college. He didn't know just where the col- lege was. but. spying an imposing looking building not far from his host's residence. decided that that was it. While walking toward the door he suddenly saw an ant hill. Bugs were his specialty. Be dropped at once to his knees. dress suit and all. and start- ed to scoop out ants. The next thing he knew he was sur- rounded by a body of men who had rushed out from the imposing looking building. They seized him roughly He gestlculated. He protested in many zanguages. It was of no avail. At last. however. explanations were forthcom- in g. The imposing looking building was none other than the lunatic asylum. Seeing a man attired in a dress suit digging up ants at 10 o’clock in the morning. the attendants had thought that an inmate had escaped: hence the- sally and attack.-â€"Philadelphia Record. The Complaint That la Made by a Piano Manufacturer. The piano manufacturer was talking. “A fortune of a million dollars. at least." he said. “awaits the man who can invent a varnlsh which will re- spond to changes of temperature in vxactly the same rate at which wood res ponds. ”Everybody who ever has made or ”Wilt’d a highly polished article of fur- uiturP knows that the surface is liable to break into small cracks-become finely crackledâ€"and thus its beauty is inst. This crackling is caused by the fact that sudden changes or tempera- iiirP affect varnish -â€"especially fine piano varnishâ€"almost instantly. while the wood beneath contracts or ex- pands at a different rate. This splin- ters the varnish. and thus far no man- ufacturer has been able to get the best of the situation. "“‘e are waiting for this entirely possible elastic varnish. which. when it shall come, will be more welcome to the manufacturers of line furniture than the flying machine is to the world at large. A piano. delicate as it is. could be stored in an lcebouse without detriment to its polished surface, pro- vided the temperature was kept even, but changes especially if sudden, are fatal to the beauty of the case.”â€" New York Press. Her Patriotic Protest. The force of natural and instinctive pride in one-’3 country has been end- lessly expressed in llteratures of all times and cllmes. but rarely more dra- matically than in the following little incident: Grieg. as every one knows. is the musical ldol of all Norwegians, al- though it has been the fashlon of less talented outsiders to underrate him. One of the most lndefatlgable of these detractors was the German composer Barglel. a man of an instinctively jeal- ous nature. One day one of his pupils. at Norwe- gian girl. brought for her lesson a con- certo of Grieg's. Bargiel took it from her with a smile of must superior dis- dam. “But I told you to bring your music. and Grieg is no music!" be said scorn- fully. “Whatâ€"Grieg no music!" was the indignant rvply “Adieu. Herr l'rofPss- 01'!" And she svat out of the studio. never to return. To Save Confusion When Moving.

Show your movers the arrangement and there will be little or no error in plac- ing. while no valuable time and strength will he lost in directing-«- Woman's Home Companion.
