One of tbe odd things remember ed of Brron vraa his careful ob servance of English customs abroad, customs maintained with an accom paniment of abuse of his native anil.

Alas I 'Aa the fateful day arrived he found himself to fond of the crea ture thnt he determined to spare its life and buy another in its place. The rbspitwl fowl now began to travel with him, being swung in a caye under his carriage." At His Wits' End. lie sat in his office musing. "Now, hi'ro are two tickets for the thsater tonijiln," he said. "If I aak Jones to pn with me I'm sure to find out when I got home to dinner that it's the only thing that' been here in a vinr that my wife really wants to -co. and if I don't ask any one to go ami plnn to take her I'll learn when it's too late to make any change thnt nothing could I'Tc her to sit through the old piece.'' lie puzzled his head over the question for an hour, and then he tossed up quarter to decide what ha would do, although he knew he would lose whichever way it cam. FLINT AND FRICTION. Msthods by Which Primitive Men Pee eured His Firs. Doubtless the nrrtduction of fire by sparks from the flint was follow ed by the discovery that friction would produce 11 ilnme. In regions where suitable stone was not easily found the inventive aborigine de-vi-ed the whirling stick, or fire drill. This was a stick of hurd wood with its lower end set in a hole in a block of very soft, dry wood. The stick v.-ks held upright be tween the herds end rhirlcd by rubbing the pulsus first one way and then the other. A moderate down ward pressure v.as exerted, and as the hands worked down on the stick they were occuiionnUr shifted to a higher hold. J An improvement on the hand whirled drill was the Duplication of a low for rotating it. The first man to make a how drill is entitled to fame as the first inventor of a ma.hine, for lie (.-outlined several working pieces in one apparatus for aecQnijilifhin? a desired end. This father of iif entors must have conceived the idea that if he should make a turn of his -bow string around a stick and fix the two ends of the stick in holes he could rolute the stick much mora easily and rapidly than was possible with the hands, producing great friction and heat much quicker and wiih much less exertion. We can imagine wc sec him a great, brawny, hairy man, with a bit of a goatskin for clothes sitting cross legged at the mouth of his cave and rigging up the first operative ma chine that was to produce fire. lie must have procured a large piece of soft and dry dead wood and hollowed a spot for the lower end of the stick. Then putting this un der a slanting rock he must have wedged another block of soft wood above the stick. Having fixed them solidly in place by piling stones around them, he would then take a turn of his bow string around the stick and draw it back and forth rapidly, securing a blaze in a short time. With what triumph he must have viewed his work when .the first let of flame burst from the smoking. cnarrea mas that be had coaxed into fiery existence I It is easy to picture him calling his family or followers about him to see his first machine, perhaps half consumed in the fire it had made, and explaining its operations with enthusiasm. Circle Magazine. Her Clever Devlee. Two stylishly costumed young women entered a "standing room only" car. Glancing along the lines of seated passengers, the prettier of the pair bowed formally, but sweet ly, to a young man. The yonng man, across whose face a puzzled expression flitted, immediately raised his hat and a moment later rose and tendered his seat to the lady. "Who is that?" the letter's com panion asked as ho left the car soon afterward. "Haven't the faintest idea," was the reply. "But you bowed to him." "Certainly.
