It takes my wife u long tlnfe to read unything. I skim whole pages instant ly. She bates to be rend aloud to. I love It When we travel I always suggest to her In advance the cor we shall take. She agrees, but will suddenly change her mind and Insist upon taking anoth- 1,017.12 er one. I grumble to myself and obey. She likes the top of the auto up. I loathe it up. It remains up. I always praise her golf, no matter bow badly she plays. She alwuys dep recates mine, no mutter how well 1 play. When I criticise anything she does I don't say it; I thiuk it. That sometimes makes trouble enough. I compliment her occasionally before 163.32 others. She pretends that she doesn't understand why I do It When I buy a new suit she will nev. er admit that she admires it until It is worn out Then she says the next one Isn't half so becoming as the lust When she gets a new gown I admire it intensely until It is about. time to replace it with another. She never liked any hut that I have ever bought I like every one of hers on principle. I laugh ut her when she gets too serious. When I get too serious she scolds me. I keep her Informed about my busi ness only when she nsks me. She nev er asks me, so you know the result I tell her a funny story every day If I have two I keep one for the next day. Sometimes she laughs at them. She asks me occasionally If I think her hair is as long as it was. I nlways tell her it is longer. I hnte bridge, dinner parties, dancing and the opera. She respects my opin ion and makes me do them all. She makes out checks and forgets to enter them on the stubs. Every time I catch her In this omission she reminds me of the celebrated occasion when I left the tickets to a large the ater party In my other suit She always keeps her temper when I lose mine. I keep mine when she loses hers. I once told her she was thoroughly spoiled. She kissed me and said she knew it Life. ITHE CHINESE WAY NO DRY BATTERIES. City of Shanghai. A PUZZLE FOR A WHITE MAN.

One of the most dIUicult problems building a battleship Is to secure satis i,bb.oj factory ventilation. She Is a very com plicated creature, made up of so many steel boxes, large and small, for the accommodation of oflieers, men, coal ammunition and stores, dotted here and there with so many steel ladders, automatic lifts, steel bulkheuds and water tight doors, varied here and there by miles of electric wires belonging to lights, telephones, bells and motors, to ' They All Contain Moisture or They J Would Be Useless. So culled dry batteries are In common Taking a Street Car Ride In the use tor smaii electric enii ben systems and private telephone Hues and were used extensively for Ignition on earlier mukes of automobiles. Applying the word "dry" to the battery Is mislead ing, for there Is no such thing as a "dry" battery. There never was, nor will there ever be. If It were dry no current would generate, as It requires moisture to pro duce chemlco-electrlc activity when the circuit Is completed from the plus to the minus elements. The so called dry battery is really an "inclosed wet battery," which retains Its moisture to Its limit of life, wheth er In service or not The limit of life depends on the stored capacity, how frequently the circuit is applied to It, evaporation due to age and deteriora tion of.the conducting elements. The batlfery consists of a zinc cylin der case containing a carbon In the center, the intervening space filled in with a paste compound of one part zinc, oxide, one part sal ammoniac. three parts plaster of parls and two parts water. The quantities are great er as the capacity of the battery la Increased. As soon as a circuit Is completed a chemical combination Is started, and the current flows from the internal part of the zinc to the carbon, then out from the carbon to the appliance and returns to the zinc. The external termlnnls of the battery are the re- , verse of the Internal. When the buttery Is exhausted It can be recharged by sending current Into It from a close circuit battery, sucft as a nitric or sulphuric acid cell. Pour ing water through a small hole at the top of the battery Is an aid to the re turn of Us life, but neither this nor the former will restore the battery to its original, efficiency.

Although the Quartermaster's De partment of the Marine Corps fur nishes sixty sizes of shoes that run all the way up to 11 1-2-F, it does Writing of his adventures lu the Chi nese city of Shanghul, Homer Croy, in Leslie's Weekly, tells of the experi ence he had there In taking a ride on a street car: The car was full of Chinamen, with not another white soul aboard, all sit ting there in their skirts, their faces as expressionless as the heads of drums, but as soon as 1 came in their faces began to fill with Interest, one nudging another until the whole car was looking at me. I felt that something was wrong, but 1 could not figure out just what I knew that It shouldn't create that much of a sensation for a white per son to get' on a cur in SUunghul, but still they were looking at me as if I could be signed by a circus. 1 strug gled to look unconcerned, but I knew that my cheeks were backfiring. The conductor, In his suit of blue jeans, with a satchel over his shoul der, came up and said something to me, while I nodded with earnest care lessness and banded htm a twenty cent piece, knowing that be could get enough out of it to satisfy his wants. "Mun stau chong du?" he asked. I nodded nguln and held out my hand for the change, plainly showing that I made the trip on the line twice a day, "Mun stau chong du t'alng kalng shon da?" he asked with more feeling, pointing oown tne street . wltb one band. "I didn't catch the drift of his re marks, but I wasn't going to show him that I wasn't an old citizen and tax payer, so I shook my beud Ibis time and nestled back tn the seat as If It were all settled. But the conductor became more excited than ever, draft ed the other hand and gurgled: "Mun stau chong du t'alng kaing shon da feab da tsu sz whoo peh quong?" So I waved in the other direction and tried to nestle again, but the con ductor came back wltb another round of monosyllabic re-enforcements.

Reaching in his satchel, the conductor offered me a slip of paper spoiled with Chinese writing. I took It aud started to stuff It nonchalantly into my pocket, but be became more excited tliau ever and came back with unotlier string of empties, while I put the slip back Into his band as If It made not the slightest bit of difference In the world to me whether I kept It or whether be had It I would leave the details of the trip to him. The conductor used his hands some more and then turned and signaled for somebody from the car ahead. Anoth er man In blue Jemis wltb a sutchel over his shoulder came and listened for a few blocks while my conductor ex plained. A Chinaman win never ex plain anything in a sentence or two; ue nas to go into details and go through his whole selling talk before he feels that the other lias grasped the general drift of thought The other man bent over. He was evidently a master of English. "How mucbee far you goee, mister? You payee how far you lidee." Then I understood. When you get on you have to tell the conductor how fur you are going, and be charges vou for just that distance. But even after my fare was settled the natives on the car kept looking at me and pointing wnu their chins, as is their custom. When 1 went to get off 1 saw several other white people piling off, but they were all from the front end of the first car. Then I looked at the markings on the cur and saw what was the mat ter 1 bad been riding in the third class section with the coolies! All the Sbaughal street curs are dl vlded up Into classes first, second and third. The white people all ride first class, the better to do Chinese second. while no one ever ventures third ex -ept the coolies. THE- MYSTERIOUS EAGLE. Curious Ancient Monument Left to Us by the Indiana. On the broad top of a stony, rain gullied bill in middle Georgia there lies a very large eagle, concerning which conflicting stories are told. The 0110 point thut Beetns to be certain is that the Indians left the eugle as a legacy to the state. A hundred years from now it will probably be found lylug on its back, wltb outspread wings aud tall, even as It lies today. For it Is made of quartz rocks so cunningly placed that It would require a pick In a strong man's bunds to displace auy one of them. The rocks lap and over lap In such a manner as to represent feathers. No cement holds them in position, and the stones vary in size, weighing from a half pound to three or four pounds. The Image rests on a very firm foundation, for the stone work extends several foot into the grouud. Once, perhaps twice, treasure seek ing vuudals dug into the breast of the eugle, but the work must have proved loo laborious, fur the diggers fcuve up before they had reached the bottom layer of overlapping stones. Hough but fairly accurate measure ments of the bird show the length of the eagle from the middle of the tail to the bead to be 102 feet aud from tip to tip of outspread wings 120 feet. The length, of the beak is ten feet, and the height of the body at the cen ter of the breast Is ten feet. The eagle lies with Its head to the west Tradition does not give auy satisfac tory explanation of tbe age or the meaning of tbe great stone mound. It may have bad religious significance to tbe red men who built it, and It may be the burial place of some great chief. It Is oue of the most mysterious aud most interesting of prehistoric monu ments in the United States. Youth's Companion. The Head of the Firm.
