CONVEYED THE WRONG IDEA Two Anecdotes That Show Necessity for Careful Wording When Us ing the Wire. The Stokes lioiiw; nt I.rnox, flnnlly converted Into n hotel, whm oiio f the "show plnrcs" of the region when An foii Pholiis Stokes, .Jr., now Merelniv of Ynlc unlvornlty, was tin unilt-runul-unto.

Mr. Tuft hnd hcon entltiK nmiiy lilg dinners In public, nt the height of tho open nea on, and he longed for a moderate re past. So Captain Itutt telegraphed to the next slithering nt Chicago: "Make It Mmplo. llutt." Tho toli'griiin was made to read, "Make It simple, hut" nml tho collation outdid In sumptuous vnrlcty any of Its predecessors."

There must ho somo foundation for the perpetually recurring story, In tho medieval mystery plays of Noah's wife, Noah's namo means "rest." Noah's wife's makeup wns restless. Her namo was Naamah. Naaitiah was a daughter of Hunch, "who walk ed with, (bid," says holy writ, but Naainali walked about with her temper anil nearly upset tho ark ltsulf with tho "kick" sho mndo at Its uprearlng. Sho fought Noah with doughty fist? all tho way through, and when tho great man had completed his work sho snhl she would not go In with tho animals, 1 he an imals behaved better, and went tidily Into tho nrk. At last Naamah con sented to carry In tho lyro bird. When thoy were nlloat Naainnb declared she was as blue as tho sen. The Hons be came outraged at this carrying on, and attacked Noah to attack Naamnh. Pretty woman with tho melodious niinio, yon have como nil tho wny down history from 2M8 11. C, to tho year 1010, A.

The theory Is advanced from tlmo to lime that ono or two meals n day aro preferable to the thrco commonly served In this country. If the same amount of food Is to bo oaten It Is hard to see the advantngo of two very hourly meals over three ordinary ones. Tho best physiological evidence Im plies that moderate quantities jif food taken nt moderate Intervals, are moro easily and completely digested hy or dinary people tliHii larger quantities taken at Intervals, remarks an ex change. If the food ordinarily taken Is cnuilderiHl excessive and the aim Is simply to reduce the amount, It Mould seem moro rational to make all tho meal lighter than to leave out, one. The very fact that the custom of eating a number of meals a day has mi long liecn almost tinlverxal Iritlt catiM llml It must have some iidvnn (age which Instinct, based upon cx- perloncc, approves nml Justllles. Ornaments of Drldcs Vary In Different Countries German Wreaths Mostly In Myrtle. The custom of crowning tho brldo w Ih n wreath of some 111 ml Is on- served In nearly all parts of tho world, the usage varying but little, even though thero are few other common customs becnuso of variation of Ideals nml degrees of civilization. Where flowers are rendlly obtainable, flowers nre ucd for this purpose, but quite a variety of flowers aro used, tno choice being dependent on what the nart en nr tint on regards as most sym bolic of the renewing life and fruit fntnn of Rtirloir. Kncliitiil. Krnlico and Amcrlcn find orange blossoms tho Idenl crown for their brides, while pink carnations and red roses dock the brides of Spain.

One Seme Meld In Common. When the eminent Aristotle evolved Ms theory of n common sense n nenso that would bring the other ketiocM Into accord, n clearing-house for the reHirts that como In through hearing, seeing and tho rest, he mndo what was a wonderful contribution to the mi go and the agis, lie made clear that thero Is something In the human system by which there enn be such a thing ns understanding. At least so he thought, and so have philosophers. thought ever since. Early Life on Earth. Animal life In the carboniferous epoch was almost wholly aquatic. The waters teemed with creatures multi tudinous. Insects swarmed every where. It was particularly the age of cockroaches. Huge reptiles crawled NluggNhly over the wet miihIh of the seashore, As yet thero wern no Idrds and no animals. Millions of years to paMt before the world would bo ready for their advent.

Speaker Might Have Deen a Do re, but He Had Tact Enouah to Carry Otf His Joke. A teachers' Institute was being held and n number of noted speakers hail been engaged for the three-days' ses sions. On the second afternoon, after n morning of round tables nnd lectures, n group of us teachers were sitting In the auditorium of (ho church In which the meetings were being held, debat ing whether to remain for tho next lec ture or not. Oh, let us go," I exclaimed; "I'm tired, and I've hoard that this man Is Just n perfect bore, anyway I" A rather luslgultlcatit man snt next tome, ulm turned bis bead, and with a merry twinkle In bis eye, said: "Ye, ladles; I know the fellow, and he Is a here I" However, we decided to remain, nnd the neighbor continued to tulk to us. After the meeting had begun, and the preliminaries were over, the pres ident of the asNoclntlon called for tho speaker of the afternoon, and to our dismay (ho nice st ranger arose, nd viiuccd to the platform, nml prefaced bis remarks by telling the Incident which bad Just occurred, nml expressed the hope that the women might be able to hear hint through, In spite of Ids honest confession.
