An exchange remarks that printing
without type was shown to be practi
cal when a daily newspaper in Los
Angles recently issued an edition in
which one page was printed from
photo-engravings of typewriter copy
It is said the process, which elimin
ates the linotype machine and is less
expensive than the present method,
may become widespread. The last two
numbers of the Literary Digest were
published using the same means, ow
ing to the typesetters' strike in New
York.
Our new linotype is practically
fool proof but do not let us hear

Why is it that folks are more In
clined to welcome the coming than
to speed the parting guest? Why will
a landlord do more for a new tenant
than for the one who Is leaving him.
perhaps after paying him hundreds of
rollars for rent? Is It because the
one who leaves or retires Is a "has
been" who can, be safely neglected,
while all the attention is lavished up
on the stranger and the new comer?

IN HIGH PLACES
By Walt Mason.
I have bought a grand piano and
a sumptuous sedan, and a lot of
other doodads, on the monthly
payment plan. On each thing I
paid a dollar, and I'll pay a month
ly bone, till I'm laid away and
sleeping underneath a sagging
stone. It Is true I didn't need
them, and I haven't coin to burn,
but I see my neighbors blowing
every kopeck that thoy earn, and
if they can have pianos and fine
motors and such stuff, I will go as
far as thoy do, though It makes tho
sledding tough. Every month I'll
pay a dollar on the Junk I do not
need, till I limp around on
crutches and my whiskers go to
seed; and when I have crossed tho
river to the shining golden shore,
I will still be owing money to the
Jinx Installment store. And 1 fear
the recollection will destroy my
peace of mind, when I have a harp
before me and a pair of wings be
hind. But my neighbors, they keep
blowing every Touble, every red,
and I'd be a sort of piker if I let
them got ahead; so I'm buying cir
cus wagon3, and I'm buying costly
gems, and my wife is wearing
sables and has diamond diadems,
and I bought tho whole caboodle
on the monthly payment plan, and
I'm riding to the poorhouse In a
super-eight sedan. Copyright,

Snaring Birds of Paradise.
,To obtain the much prized feathers
the New Guinea natives set out for the
forest, knowing that Hie bird of para
dise seeks to conceal bis rainbow hues
In the dense foliage of the trees. If
they can Unci no hnunt of the desired
birds they start calling In excellent Im
itation of the shrill, ugly cry of the
bird of purncllse to Its mate, aids ruse
Is Usually successful, anil n bird shows
Itself only to be snared or shot down
with arrows.
In mating season the' male bird
dances before the female he desires as
a mate, to display bis beautiful feath
ers, and nt such a time so absorbed
are the birds in their own affairs thnt
large numbers nre easily taken by
the wily natives. Savannah Morning

Water for House Plants.
Water Is essential to the life of
plants, whether they be In the open
ground or In pots, for only In the form
of solutions In water can the roots
suck up the Juices of the earth, and
It Is the water circulating through the
channels of the trunk and brunches
that permits the exchanges between
the leaves and the rest of the vege
table. Plants In a house should not be
watered nt regular stated Intervals;
do the plants out-of-doors receive rain
on Tuesdays and Saturdays? They
should be watered whenever they need
it. This Is the only safe rule. And
we can tell when they need It by feel
ing the earth In which they are grow
ing; so long as this feels moist the
plants do not need water.
"Blarney" Not Out of Place.
Life nt best pays back rather limit
ed dividends, and knowing tills, we
should us we journey along lime's
thoroughfares, try, whenever the op
portunity offers, to bring a smile to
tired lips. Even though we must re
sort to a "bit of blarney" If we would
accompli-!; rr.is linppy result, we cer
tainly should do so. Such a course
may displease the person who prides
herself on culling u spade a spade
every time, but folks who approve of
toning down, as It were, the sharp
edges of life will feel no twinges of
conscience for playing such a role, for
there Is all the difference In the world
between base flattery unci true unci
merited approval fcsclwiajte.

WHY LAMB AND MINT SAUCE
English Writer Gees Far Back to
Trace Custom So Popular In
That Country.
I.amb Is the only ment with which
mint sauce Is partaken, and England Is
the only country where the custom Is
practiced.
The latter fact seems to disprove the
idea that it originated with the Jews,
else It would have been adopted In
other countries where the race predom
inates to an even greater extent than
In our own. Hence, also, It could not
have originated or been associated
with the "bitter herbs" which were
eaten with the Paschal lamb.
When one remehibers what are the
vegetables usually eaten with lamb, we
get a clue to mint sauce. And It Is
one that lends us to what Is probably
the true reason of Its combination with
Iamb. New potatoes and green peas
are the adjuncts Immemorial time has
led us to associate with the flesh of
the lamb. These, our forbears de
cided, were provocative of Indigestion,
and therefore an adjunct must he In
troduwd to correct this tendency.
Mint during all ages has been asso
ciated with such an office. The Latin
poets have broken Into song regarding
Its merits, and the giver of a feast
never thought of laying the ment on
the table until the boards had been
scoured With this herb. So, In addi
tion to being a corrective, mint had n
reputation ns nn appetizer. Oernrde
says, "The smell of mint doth stir up
the mind and the taste to n greedy
desire of meat." London Tit-Bits.
At Inst me rnrmers or the umreo
States have forced congress to vindi
cate that reliable luminary, the sun,
as the most efficient timekeeper.
The French eat chrysanthemums,
hut the present high cost of living may
drive the American public to an ex
periment with Nebuchadnezzar's diet.
