At two o'clock tlimc In the study room were allowed to suseiid brain work and the "moving day" was on In earnest. School book were joyfully strapped, desks were loosened from the floors, maps, pictures and clocks came down from the walls and lalKiratory apparatus was carefully (Kicked In big boxes. The girls did their share of the work and under the able supervision of MImcs llrlcc and Staltcr packed the books, and Kick they did, from every part of the of the building, Saturday morning found all members of the athletic teams ready for work. There was n marked difference In the way thry handled the school furniture and the athletic apparatus, how ever; for Instance, a desk would be hur ried out In (he rain tothu wagons, while the hurdles, etc, were carefully wrapited in old tapers and packed in excelsior. Thus the glorious work went on: Ihwcs, barrels, desks, map, pictures, tables, chairs and henrhc were whisked in one grand conglomeration from the lower hall of the North school to the James John High.

To get a waiter quickly In a big cafo Is nt tlmos rory difficult, but a Ger- tuantown man recently learned n meth od from a New York friend which la guaranteed Instantly to bring not ono but several waiters. This Qcrmautown man was giving a dinner In ono of Philadelphia's awcllest cnfcH, with tho New Yorker nnd two women as his guests. After a long delay n waiter camo and took tho order. Thou ono of the women decided that sho must tnnko a chnngo In her order. Tho host sig naled ono waiter after another without avail. After about ton minutes of vio lent gesticulating on his part tho Now lorkcr said: "You don't know how to attract their attention. I'll bet you 3 I can bring a waller to this tablo within thirty seconds." "I'll take tho bet," said tho I'hlladc) phlan, drawing out his watch. Tho New Yorker reached ovor Into tho mlddlo of tho table, picked up a thin, dcllcato glass nnd deliberately dashed It to the floor. Instantly every waiter In tho room camo rushing up to seo what wan tho troublo. "Charge ono tumblor up on tho bill," said tho Now Yorker laconically, "and cbango ono of thoso oyster orders to Blue Points."

The lobsters have wouderful coats of mall suggestive of those devised by human warriors in tho age of chiv alry. They comblno perfect security with case of movement, owing to their Jointed structure. Tne manner In which crabs when at rest tuck their legs beneath tbera so as to bring them under the abetter of the bard carapace is Interesting. The crab is doubly pro tected, for It resembles a water worn pebble, and thus looks to large fishes which like to eat the crustacean eo long as It keeps still very similar to tho objects with which It Is sur rounded, Cutting th Finger Nails, Cutting tho Auger nails appears to have been the moat Indispensable serv-l Ice the ancient Koman barber rendered to bl patrons. Martial, chaffing a fop who bad trle4 to dodge the barber by using plasters to remove his beard, asks triumphantly, "How are you go ing to manage about your nails)'' And the miser in Plautus collects the par- lugs of his ualls from the barber to make something out of them, appar- ently never dreaming that be could save money by cutting them himself.
