THE OPPOSITE SfcX
They are called the opposit
sex because whatever your idee
may be theirs are exactly II
opposite.
The opposite' sex may h
divided into two classes—some
class and no class at all. The
opposite sex is composed of
women and ladies. Wornc
make an 'honest living, hut
ladies play bridge.
When you read in an obituary
the last words of any married
man you may brand the article
as a lie. No married man eve;
has the last word.
To be prominent members of
Ihe opposite sex you must qual
ify as follows:
First—You must be able to
reach your hands Dehind youi
back about two inches highei
than is possible, clutch a button
the size of a pinhead and worry
it through a microscopic botton
hole.
Second—Yoy must forget Hi a!
you ever had a mind whenever
you are thrown in contact with
any other equally prominent
members of the opposite sex.
Third—You must carefully
committ to memory such phras
es as “How Lovely,” “Perfectly
dear,” “Simply wonderful,” S’
glad you could come,” “So de
lighted to have seen you,” sc
that you may be able to uphoh
your end of the conversatioi
in a brilliant manner.
Fourth—You must lum
enough of a constitution to li
able to wear suede pumps an
silk stockings in April.—Ex.

SIGN THEM AND BOOST
Secretary Mitchell of the
Commercial Club is busy cir
culating a petition in quadru
plicate for signature among the
businessmen and shippers of
Ketchikan and vicinity in sup
port of the resolutions passed
at the last meeting of the Club
and forwarded to the various
transportation companies, re
questing them to change their
sailing schedules, at least dur
ing the summer seasons, so
that their steamers will arrive
in Ketchikan during the course
of regular business hours. This
movement is probably too late
to accomplish results this year,
but if inaugurated now and
properly followed up, we may
be able to secure come action
for Ihe next tourist season. By

Heart of the Hailstone.
If It were not for the countless tril<
lions of dust particles that float sepa
rately invisible in the atmosphere there
eoulil be no raindrops, snow crystals
or hailstones. From n perfectly dust
less atmosphere the moisture would de
scend In ceaseless rain without drops.
The dust particles serve as nuclei
about which the vapor gathers. The
snow crystal is the most beautiful cre
ation of the aerial moisture, and the
hailstone' is the most extraordinary.
The heart of every hailstone is a tiny
atom of dust Such an atom, with a
little moisture condensed about it, is
the germ from which may grow a hail
stone capable of felling n man or
smashing a window. But first it must
bo caught up by a current of air and
carried to the level of the lofty cirrus
clouds, five or six oi* e^en ten miles
high. Then, continually growing by
fresh accession of moisture, it begins
its first plunge to the earth, spinning
through the clouds and (lushing in hte
sun like a diamond bolt shot from a
rainbow.
Sympathy.
Rome time ago Brown, who lives in
a suburban burg, rushed Into the kitch
en where mother was bossing the
preparation of the evening hash. In
one of her father’s fists lie was holding
his other hand, while a cussy expres
sion was floating over his features.
“Where is that antiseptic salve, Min
nie?” he demanded almost roughly.
*Tlint infernal parrot of yours has bit
teu a chunk out of my hand!"
“What’s that, Jimmy?" exclaimed
little wifey, with a look of great con
cert). “Do you mean to say that he
bit n piece all the way out of your
hand?”
“That’s what lie did,” answered
James. "Clean ns a whistle. Where
did you say that salve was?"
“Oh. Jimmy," returned wifey In a
complaining voice, "1 do wish you
would ho more careful. You know
very well the bird dealer told me not
to let that parrot taste meat under any
circumstances.”—New York Globe.
Winning a Bouquet.
Among his stories of Homburg iu
King Kdwafil’s days the author of "On
the Track of the Great" notes the fash
ion of “bunching" (presenting bou
quets to ladies) on the promenade and
tells tills story of King Edward and
the Roman artist, Corrodi:
One morning dear old Corrodi was
carrying around a bouquet of serious
proportions of fine tea roses which lie
proposed presenting to .an American
lady for whom lie was eagerly seeking
in tlie large mass of promeunders. All
at once lie unexpectedly came across
the prince, accompanied by I.ady Cork.
"Good morning, i’rofessor Corrodi!"
exclaimed his royal highness. “IIow
very kind of you to think of bringing
Lady Cork suel^a beautiful bouquet!”
Of course there was nothing left for
tlie genial Italian to do but to part
with his flowers and go and buy some
more for the American lady.
Inhaling Water.
Undoubtedly a number of bathers
who are drowned meet their deaths
from cramp. Cramp is liable to seize
anybody* at any moment, and when it
comes in deep water few swimmers
have sufficient presence of mind to
turn on their bijcks and wait quietly
until tlie attack has departed. So (hey
go under. But there is another danger
quite as imminent as cramp, though it
is probably less known. This is water
inhaling. A swimmer or even a wader
is always liable to inhale spray through
Lis nostrils, which, passing through the
pharynx and behind the epiglottis or
windpipe guard, gets into the windpipe
and causes death. As one would ex
pect. wafer inhaling is almost wholly
confined to the sea and very rarely
occurs in fresh water. All the same,
it may happen anywhere.
Gaudy Birds.
For gay coloring the pitta doneinua
of Borneo and Sumatra takes the lead
among birds, its feathers being every
color of the rainbow. The bird ot
paradise runs it close and is in add!
tiou a dainty dancer. One species of
this digs a hole a foot in diameter,
over which it places crossed sticks (at
for a Scottish sword dance) «nd strew i
leaves and rubbish over them, thus
forming a floor, on which it dances a
pas seul. But the Jacaua and ypecaha,
both species of the rail, can go one bet
ter. for besides being splendid little
dancers they provide their own music
the while.
Handwriting.
The English are said to produce the
best handwriting of all nations; the
Americans come next; the French
write badly, especially the ladies; the
Italians very poorly; tlie Spaniards
scarcely legibly. The two last named
nations continue to use many of the
contracted letters, abbreviations and
ornamental lines and flourishes which
were common in most European coun
tries a century ago.—London Mail.
It Depends!
•'How do you pronounce s-t-i n-g-y?"
the teacher asked the young gentle
man nearest the foot of the class. And
the smart boy stood up and said it de
pended a great deal whether the word
applied to a man or a bee.—London
News.
Broadening.
Bond- Don't you realize that mar
riage broadens a man? Benedict—Oh,
yes; I suppose it can lie put that way,
hut “flattens" is tho word I've always
used London Express.
