Japanese Denied Luxuries.
The most expensive single fruit in
the Japanese fruit stores is the natsu-
mikan, a species of grapefruit (Citrus
decumana), which sells throughout the
winter for 714 cents each. These are
not eaten in great quantities by the
class of peopie who make the great.
fruit-buying population in the United
States. The average income of the
Japanese family of four is about $150
a year. This sum does not leave much,
margin for the purckase of luxuries."
To Cure a Cold.
Coughs and Colds—An ordinary cold
can often be checked in the first
stages by inducing a good perspira-
‘tion. A glass of very hot milk drunk
after you are in bed, or the juice of a
lemon added to a tumbler of boiling
water, will often accomplish this. A
hot bath to which a little ammonia
hag been added is another method.
Easily Gauged.
Johnny was sent to the cellar to
‘draw a pitcher of cider. When he got
back the guest commended him. “You
must have good judgment to have
filled the pitcher so accurately in the
dark without running it over.” “Aw,
that ain’t hard,” replied Johnny. “Yer
see, when the cider got up to the
first joint of my thumb I stopped.”
-
Not a Pleasant Occupation.
A citizen who believes that a certain
‘thing should be done called at the
lobe office and said, “You can scold
he people into doing it.” But we
fo not wish to become a common
cold. People are becoming tired of
having others tell them what they
should do.—Atchison Globe.
Really Beyond Help.
Confucius, the Chinese philosopher,
though he lived nearly 2,500 years
‘ago, said many things that are true
today, amcng them this: “When a
man has been helped around one cor-
ner of a square and cannot manage
the other three, he is unworthy of
future assistance.”
Was Looking for it, Too.
“I say, my friend,” called the motor-
ist to the farmer, as he drew up along-
side of the field, “I'm looking for a
decent road to take me into Squiggles-
ville.” “I'm derned glad to hear it,”
replied the farmer. “Ef ye happen to
find it, stranger, send me a tellygram,
will ye?”

“Wasn't there something about a
promeise to love, honor, and obey me
in that marrjage ceremony?” asked
Mr. Meekton. “My goodness, Leoni-
das! You are like some of those pol-
iticians who never quit talking about
a party platform.”—Washington Star.

~~ “How are you getting on with your

Crosslots. “My feet are too large to
permit me to be a good gardener.

Home.

gree of Consideration.
In the American Magazine Dr.
Charles K. Taylor of Philadelphia
writes an interesting and practically
helpful article entitled “Your Boy and
His Muscles,” in which he gives sug-
gestions as to proper exercises for
young boys. Following is an extract
from his article:
“First of all, when a child is in a
poor condition of which the basic
cause is some remediable physical de-
fect there is little use in giving spe-
cial exercises until the defect is re-
moved. For instance, breathing ex-
ercises cannot be nearly as effective
as they should be for a child suffering
from large adenoids, nor can you ex-
pect good results when a child has
some physical irritation inducing nerv-
ous effects of different kinds. Above
all, you should always know the state
of the child’s heart. If the heart is
good, and if there are no serious reme-
diable defects to interfere with your
obtaining good results, then you can
take up the matter of special exer-
cises with some degree of confidence.
“When you find just where your boy
is lacking, whether in chest expan-
sion, shoulder girth, arms, and so on,
or perhaps in posture, if he is hollow-
chested with shoulders bent forward,
then you can take up the exercise sug-
gested for the different needs. And
right here is a word of caution, which
will be repeated now and then. Never
carry an exercise beyond the time
when fatigue begins. Do not continue
it to exhaustion; but when the boy
beging to feel tired stop at once, if
it is only after two or three motions!
“It interests the boy a great deal,
too, to kcep account of his physical
measurements. If these are taken |
once a month his interest is kept up,
and he is stimulated when he finds
that he is actually gaining. Finally,
do not carry on a special exercise
after it is no longer necessary. What
you desire is a good, all-around devel-
opment, and when this is attained spe-
cial work should cease and general ex-
ercise be carefully continued. It
should be said, too, that such work
can never be considered as a substi-
tute for outdoor play. This latter is
vitally necessary for all children.
These exercises are to be used as ad-
juncts-—io bring up to standard any
set of muscles which are under-devel-
oped.”
War Drums Ordered Out.
It was some time ago that, acting
upon the recommendations embodied
in a report by a military commission,
the French government reached the
conclusion that the drum was no long-
er a necessary article of military
equipment. The report set forth that
the drum was a serious encumbrance
in marching: that rain impaired its
usefulness; that its calls could not be
distinguished in time of battle; that it
consumed a period of two years to
turn out an efficient drummer; and
that by abandoning the use of the
drum many thousands of youths and
men would be released for active
service.
Since the decision of the French
government other European powers
have followed its example in decree-
ing that the “drum nprust go.”
The history of the drum is both an-
cient and honorable. The Egyptians
employed it, and the Greeks ascribed
its invention to Bacchus. The Spanish
conqueror Pizarro is said to have found
drums in South American temples.
The snakes of Ireland, we are fold,
fled from the Emerald Isle before the
drum-beats of St. Patrick. The Puri-
tans of New England used the drum
as a church bell, and it figured fre-
quently and romantically all through
the wars of the revolution and rebel-
lion in America.
Knew Enough to Keep Dry,
“It looks like rain!”
“I beg your pardon.”
“I say it looks like rain.”
“What does?”
“The weather.”
“The weather, my dear sir, is a con-
dition. Rain is water in the act of
falling from the clouds. It is impos-
sible that they should look alike.”
“What I meant was that the sky
looked like rain.”
“Equally impossible. The sky is the
blue vault above us—the seeming arch
or dome that we call the heavens. It
does not resemble falling water in the
least.”
“Well, then, if you are so thunder-
ingly particular, it looks as if it would
rain.”
“As if what would rain?”
“The weather, of course.”
“The weather, as before stated, be-
Ing a condition, can not rain.”
“The clouds, then, confound you.
I may not know as much about it as
you do, but I've got enough sense to
get in out of it, and you haven't,” said
the man, as he raised his umbrella and
walked away in a huff.—Pearson’s
Weekly.
So Hot Ice Chest Blazes.
The freak trick of the season at Bal-
timore was occasioned when it was re-
sponsible for a fire that burned the
top of a chest containing ice at the
home of Harry Siegel, 326 North Front
street.
Mr. Siegel placed two lighted cans
dles on the chest. The high tempera”
ture caused these candles to melt
until they bent completely over, the
flames igniting the top of the box.
There was a blaze and ‘excitement
prevailed for a few moments. No
alarm was sounded. The fire was ex-
tinguished by members of the family.
a hole in it for luck. I am not asham- |
| ed to own that I have done so myself '
for many years.” The case was cited |
by him in his lecture as an illustration
of “survivals” from primeval fetich-
ism, but on his own account Max Maul-
ler confessed that when sometimes he
had left home without this halfpenny
talisman he felt “very uncomfortable”
until his safe return.
Insincerity.
“Our civilization demands a greater
or less degree of mendacity,” remark- |
ed the abstruse person. “We are con-
stantly encountering some empty
phrase. some conventional remark,
which is absolutely devoid of sincer-
ity.” i
“That’s right,” answered the book
agent. “That's perfectly true. [ am
reminded of it every time I walk up to
the front step where there is a door-
mat with the word ‘welcome’ on it.”—
Washington Star.

Papa—Are you sure that you and
mamma thought of me while you were

said, “That’s just like papa.”
He Was Tired.

A steamer noticed a sailing vessel fly-
ing signals of distress and bore down on
her. When she was within hail she asked
what was the matter, “Water!” came the
answer from cracked lips and parching
throats. “Give us water, for we are dy-
ing of thirst.” Pointing to the surround
ing water, the steamer’s captain cried
“Let down your buckets then and drink.”’
Unknown to the thirsty crew they were
sailing in the mouth of the mighty Ama-
zon and the water around them was river
water pouring out to meet the sea. Many

and suffering when help lies right at her
