FILLING OUT A CHECK.
M Is a Good Rule Always to Writs the
'Stub Rirdt'
In a big store a woman was paying
with a check for some goods sbe bad
Just bought, and she was carefully fill
ing In the stub of her check book first
•Oh, don't stop for that!" urged her
shopping companion, who was In a
hurry. “You can do that when you
get home."
Unmoved, me carerui woman nn
Ished the stub with special care, then
wrote the check, gave It to the sales
man and said to her Itnpntlenf friend
“Before I wus married I took car* of
some of my father's accounts. The
first time lie ever asked me to fill out
a set of blank checks for him so he
could sign them lie told uie: 'One rule
you must always observe—write the
stub first. Make a vow to yourself
like unto the vow of Jephthah. that
you will never write a check until the
stub is filled. If for any reason you
should fall later to write the check It
would be a simple matter to camel
the stub, but If.you write a check and
leave the stub blank you open the
door to a hundred chances of mistake.
No one's memory can be trusted on
that subject. Never try to trust yonrs.
Let the law of “the stub first" be to
you as the law of the Medes and the
Persians.’ I have always found It per
fectly easy to follow that rule, and
that la one reason I have a bank ac
count today. My husband la never
afraid 1 will make him any trouble
with It”
HEED BAD ODORS.
They May Warn You of Places Where
Disease Germs'Lurk."
Even a bid odor baa Its uses. Sci
entists say that the offensive swell
which cotnes from decaying and dis
ease breeding matter Is In reality one
of uattare’8 measures of preparedness
and of prevention.
Offensive odors indirectly prevent the
spread-of epidemics by calling atten
tlon to the breeding place of the dis
ease. They give Warning that some
thing Is wrong, and they persist in this
warning by becoming more and more
offensive until tbe wrong Is rlgbted.
The odor does not convey tbe germ
or communicate tbe disease, because
In most cases direct contact Is neoes
sary to do this, or the Infection is
communicated by some substinee tak
en into or brought In contact with the
body. But It does tell where tbe dis
ease exists or Is likely to exist. It also
gives warning of tainted or unfit food,
as the nose is intended by nature to
be one of man’s chief allies In the fight
for health.
Some have even gone so far as to
state that mothers should not dis
courage or forbid children smelling
their food before they eat It. The
tendency to do this is said to be a
natural one. Tbe nose Is not placed
above the mouth by accident It was
designed In primitive man as a guide
post for his stomach, and It is still
a good guide.—Louisville Courier-Jour
ual.
The Looking Glass In Fiction.
A11 nations have shown by tbeir sto
rles bow tbe looking glass is regarded
as ministering to vabity. Tbe ancient
Greeks depicted Venus wltb a mirror
and even described ber chamber as
lined aU over wltb mirrors, so that
whichever way her eyes turned she
could behold ber beautiful self. But
Minerva never used a mirror. Pass to
West Africa and we find a native story
which begins with a magic mirror tbat
possessed the power of speech and al
ways said. "Mistress, there Is bone.”
when Its owner, a woman called Ma
rla, asked It, "My mirror. Is there any
other beautiful woman like myself?”
But one day Maria's daughter entered
the forbidden room where it was kept
asked a similar question and got a
similar answer. A tale of maternal
Jealousy and vengeance follows—Lon

Sunlight and Gorma.
Here is ih ' iiistructfve experiment
midb by Scientists to show tbe effects
of sunlight Some germs of tbe terri
ble disease anthrax were sown on two
platea of gelatin, and wbUe one plate
was gept in the dark the other was
placed in the sunlight The germs
grew, and at the end of ten minutes
there were 300 colonies or groups in
the iurishine plate and 400 colonies in
the dark plate.
One hour later the result was: In the
sunshine plate, none; in the dark plate,
