A Piot's Flying Life.

The air physicians have now several years experience of the physical condition of pilots, and they affirmed at the International Air Congress that there is no evid- ence to show that these men (given reasonable flying hours) deteriorate more rapidly than they would do in other professions, but on the contrary their physical condition is above the normal.

It has been commonly believed that a pilot could only fly regularly

A Fruitful Phrase.

This catch-phrase, senseless though

it be, Is going to prove a boon to me, "Tis now my only repartee-

Khoja Stories.

One day a villager brought hare to the Khoja as a present, and the Khoja treated him so well that he turned up again a week later. The Khoja did not recognise him, so the man said, "I am the villager who brought you that hare last week,"

The Khoja made him welcome. and gave hint some coup, saying. !'"It is soup made from the gravy of the hare. Please help yourself."

own,

But now Imerely feebly groan-

for from four to six years, and When taxi-cabmen wildly glare therefore that it was a profession! And angrily dispute the fare, which did not hold out much future With perfect sangfroid I declare

"Yes! we have no bananas!' for a young man. Such an opinion has now been authoritatively con- tradicted. Flying, we may take it Now when I'n junkered off the tee will not remain a close preserve for No lurid language there will be, youth.

I merely mutter Tut! Dear ine!

'Yesl we have no bananas!'

A Confession.

I never tax my intellect, At intervals I interject--

..

(A well-known poetess has At dull At Homes where bores declared that, fond as she is of collect poetry, nothing has stirred her so deeply as the vacuum cleaner.) Yes, Swinburne is all very-well,

But of him one can soon have

enough;

As for Tennyson, well, truth to tell, I am heartily tired of his stuff. In Shelley some nice things one

meets,

But I tire of him after a while, And fond as I am, too, of Keats, I do get so sick of his style, Wordsworth I like now and then,

Coleridge is jolly to read, Burns had a gift with the pen,

And I even give Browning his

meed.

Oh, they're all very-well in their

way,

On poetry no one is keener Than.I am, but give me, I say,

A jolly good vacuum cleaner!

And should the tax-collector call, His questions I'll at once forestall, Brightly I'll say, 'Oh! not at all

"Yes! we have no bananas l'

A few days later three or four villagers turned up in the hope of being entertained. He asked who they were, and they answered,

We are the neighbours of the villager who brought you that

hare.

The Khoja gave them sonic sweets and made them welcome.

A week later a few more people came and the Khoja asked who they were. They answered, "We are the neighbours of the neigh bours of that villager who brought you that hare,"

'Welcome!" said he, and put a bowl of water before them.. The villagers stared at it and said,

What is it, Khoja ?"

"It is," answered he, "the water of the juice of the gravy of the hare!"

The Khoja handed his daughter a water-jar, and as he did so gave her two smacks in the face, saying, "Mind you don't break the jar!"

Some people who saw the innocent child beaten in this way turned to the Khoja and said, "Is it not a shame to ill-treat the poor child without a cause?"

Unemployed Men Servants.

Lady Bathurst when giving evidence at the domestic service inquiry expressed much surprise

One hears the breaking the jar before she breaks same story from other people in the At, so as to make her pay, attention. counties. It is pathetic, they say, It would be no good punishing her to see how many men are eager for after she had broken it."

Many household employment. people who used to employ men are engaging women instead. For one thing their wages are lower, and then it is easier to house them.

One day the Khoja was going up the mountain when his donkey re fused to budge.

" If you want to catch me," said he, "you will have to use some ammonia, too!"
