Very small fish bones can usually be dislodged from the throat by swallowing some hard bread. such as crackers. crusts of dry bread. etc.

' swallowing foreign bodies such as small coins, buttons, stones, ought not to be taken seriously as they usually reach the stomach and all is well.

Pins and needles swallowed often work their way to the surface of the body years afterward. when they can be safely removed.

There's a palm tree of south Am- erlca. that produces real buttons - yes, these ivory-colored buttons are in common use, though few persons know they are actually vegetable matter.

According to reliable statistics office workers live one-eighth long- er than industrial workers.

Most couples going to the altar believe that their matrimonial ven- ture will be an entire success.

One clergyman in every hundred thousand turns criminal, and one doctor in every fifty thousand fol- lows the same course.

The church of England is revis- ing its Church laws, and, among other matters of importance, has recently considered the support of cremation and the subsequent dis- posal of the ashes of the dead. The S64. question was: Should the ashes be scattered in consecrated ground or merely in any place directed by the wish of the deceased or his rela- tlves?

A compromise was finally reach- ed, namely: That no mention he make of ssh-scattering in the new church laws. The Church neither recommends nor forbids the prac- lice and it won't make a bit of dif- ference to the dead pelrson whether they scatter his ashes or leave them lie in peace in some graveyard.

Although only in tho experimen- tal stage as yet, Jet-driven planes are the most important war weapon used in today's fighting in Korea. For one thing, their terrific speed makes marksmanship difficult.

I product called Aureomycin which actually makes animals grow faster. First fed to chicks, it was hoped the vitamin B16 contained in it might be beneficial to their growth. They were in for a big surprise when they learned that it was the dash of aureomycin in the product and not the vitamin that did the trick.

The saute results have been st- tsined with turkeys, hogs, and sheep, stepping up their growth by M much as 50 per cent.

Medical science may yet be able to produce a race of superman.

It is a well known fact that nitro- gen fertilizer will make plants grow more rapidly. While this is all to the' good the thing can be over- done. And too rapid growth often results in weakened plants which in turn may be vulnerable to many diseases. However, there's a remedy. Namely, by using potash to harden the stock thus enabling them to stand up better.

A woman in London, 0nt., spent the night in a drug store because the owner of the place did not notice hr in the telephone booth when he locked up. By the time she was re- leased in the morning she had al- most finished her talk.

whatever else may grow scarce in the years ahead, there'll never be a shortage of advice. Small towns or large cities, villages or out of the way places, you'll constantly blimp into people who are free with their advice. If all those who go about giving advice on how to bring up children were married and raising families, there would be no speak- ers to go out giving advice on how to raise children.

THE HOSPITABLE CLOTHES- LINE

From the featherweight Hum- mingbirds to the heavyweight Rob- ins. all the birds nesting on our pro- perty appreciate the clothesline. Barn swallows and Bluebirds are particularly fond of perching on it, but various kinds of sparrows, Cat- birds, and even Thrushes are given to this habit. When anything as small as a Wren alights, the line barely moves, but the weight of s

thing left behind was a cow's hoof which had been cleverly attached to the poecher's foot.

Speaking of smart poachers, I want to tell you about the little chap at Cardigan, who caught so many trout last summer. The boy was a frequent visitor to the trout hatchery just outside the village. For a long time nobody paid much attention to the youth's coming and Being. But one day it was dis- covered that the boy had a conceal. ed line and hook inside the leg of his overalls. By standing close to the water's edge, he could hook a trout. pull it up his pants leg. and then slip it into his pocket with his other hand. '

It is the custom of Goldfinches to nest much later than most birc'-1. because they line their cup-shaped compact homes with thistledown, or milk-wees, and this is not ready before July. ln a fork of a small tree, they make their nests of moss, grass, and shreds of bark; then, if the correct lining material is not available, a substitute must be

And so, Just as we turn to kapok when feather pillows are impossible, 5 the Goldfidches come to our clothes- llne, and pick at the knot in order to get fluff from the loose ends of rope. The gold male and his green wife take turns at it, h:.'.iging up- side down, Chiclnadec fashion, the better.to reach the .-ize. This is a slow business, and many trips must

be made back and forth, between line and nest, carrying little bunch- es of the precious fluff in their pink bills. "Per-chic-o-ree," they say, as they make their flight to the line, bouncing through the air. They talk incessantly. except when their mouths are full on the return trip, or he is sitting on the line, singing just like a Canary.

While the 'ittle pale blue eggs are hatching, and later. when the babies are being fed weed-seeds (or bits of our lettuce), father Gold- finch sings a gentle, two-syllable lullaby for his wife and children. He is an excellent family man. Then one day towards the end of
