Bow of the Boat.
When onoe a notiou becomes firmly
fixed into the bend of the people it is
strange bow difficult It is to get thai
notion out agalu. For many years all
ships were clumsily built, with the
bow wider than the stern, because
some one had declared that u log could
be towed more easily that way with
the butt end first and the tapering end
last. One day some man who was in
dependent enough to think for himself
tried the experiment und built u ship,
such as those In 'ise now, with the
bow the narrowest. Of Course It In
creased the speed of the ship, and
since that day boats have been built
that way, and logs are towed with the
tapering end first

"COOKING A PILL"
That la What Opium Smcksrs Call
"Hitting the Pip?."
The opium smoker In tbe act of '
smoking Is said to be "cooking a pill."
Smokers of tobacco in seeing opium
pipes have been misled into tbe belief
tbut the large bowl of tbe pipe la ailed
with opium when retilly the "pill" Is
simply pasted over a tiny opening In
the cover of the bowl. Hentlcg of the j
bowl produces dense fumes, which are
drawn through tbe bowl and tLe stem
of the pipe into tbe smoker's mouth. !
Neither does one pipe of opium pro
duce stupor. A "pill" dazes ouly even
an luesperleuced smoker as a large !
drink would effect a person unused to
alcohol. The opium users who have
been pictured slretcbed on bunks of
opium dens In utler stupor have been
saturated with the drug
Keclinlng on a t?ed, the smoker places
the layout wlloin easy reach and ilgbta
tbe lamp Peanut oil, burning slowly
and without evil odors or fumes. Is used
exclusively. Tbe smoker Is then ready i
to prepuse his "pill."
The yen-bok. or dipper, a long, nee
dle sh:i[>ed instrument. Is put into tbe !
opium receptacle and turned slowly Id
tbe black and sticky substance until a
small quantity of optnm adheres to the
point It is then placed over the flaine
of tlie lamp. and. turning the dipper,
the smoker rolls and cooks the "pill" I
until It is ready for tfce pipe.
The tiny speck is then thrust Irto the j
opening of the bowl, which, held above
the lamp, slowly begin* to produce !
opium fumes, which are drawn io by
tlm smoker through the stem of his
pipe. The "pill" iasts only from thirty
to forty seconds, and to enjoy another
smoke the same preparations have to
be related. -New York Tribune.
Humiliated Hubby.
A newly married couple bad had a
little disagreement about some cakes
which the wife had made. The hus- |
bnnd complalDed tha-t those his mother !
used to produce were far superior. On
the next day the girl set before him a
plate of hot cakes.
"Now yon hare achieved something!"
he exclaimed enthusiastically. "These
are exactly like what mother used to
make. How did you do It?"
"I will give ycu the recipe." replied
the wife coldly. "I used margarine In
stead of butter, eggs a year old, 1 pot
alum In the flour and added plenty of
water to the milk."? London Tit- Bits.
He Didn't Know Art.
"Where did you get that marble
statuette, my dear?"
"Why, at Martlno'a. Isn't It lovely?
And sncb a twrgulnl It waa marked

"Yes. but I thought the tag referred
to the clothing." - Cleveland Plain
