Much in Brief Crean,
Tt is written of one 0: che must
eminent of Englishmen why was die-
tating to his amanuensis chapters of
an important work, and while so en-
8aged was overcome by sleep. He
dreamed of matters of great moment,
of diplomatic conferences, exhausting
many days and weeks. Becoming
awake he chided his secretary for per-
mitting him to -~leep, and was astound-
ed to be told by the scrivener that
he had not finished the last sentence
that had been dictated. Volumes have
been written crammed with such ex-
Deriences in infinite variety.
Enlargea Tonsiis and Adenoids.
Before operating to re move adenoids
and tonsils the health of the child
should always be built up. if there is
an existing cold this musi be :reated
and cured. If the teeth are decayed
they must be filled. Treating the
teeth and the practicing of deep
breathing exercises will be all that is
needed to cure tonsil disease if iv. is
strictly local, and not the expressicn
of a systematic condition or some re-
cent infection.
Danger in Waiting.
Just because an Oregon scientist da-
clares that old men do the best work
is no reason, of course, why young
fellows should put off contemplated
achievements until the arrival of Je-
clining years. It may be that the mua
who accomplishes little in his early
maturity will make up for the lack
when he starts down the western slope
of life. It doesn’t sound reasonable,
however.
M22 €lave 'y Hereditary.
The first form: | recognition of ne
gro slavery in Vi'ginia was March 1,
1661, when the assembly declared that
“negroes are incapable of making sat-
isfaction for the time lost in running
away, by additicn of time,” and slav-
ery vas made hereditary in Virginia
in 1662 by an act of the assembly that
the issue of slave mothers should fol-
low their condition.
Weeping Willows.
The weeping willows, so-called (sci-
entific name S. babylonica), is a na-
tive of China, from whicl. country it
has been taken over mist of the
civilized earth. It varies in height
and dimensions, according to climate
and soil, and invariably maintains its
drooping habit, the chief cause of its
attractiveness.

The Submarine.
To get a submarine ready for diving
water is admitted into the “ballast”
€anks. To keep the vessel on an even
keel water is taken inte the “trim-
ming tanks.” By means of these
tanks the vessel is made te sink or !
rise, and to preserve the right posi-
tion. \
Fast on the Wing.
Homing pigeons in calm weather
can travel at a speed of 1,290 yards a
minute. With a brisk wind prevail
ing and blowing in the direction of its
flight, a pigeon has been known to
make 1,900 yards a minute.
Puzzle for Papa.
Small Sadie’s father is a traveling
man, and during his absence a new
baby arrived. Upon his return Sadie
met him at the door and exclaimed:
“Oh, papa, you can’t guess who was

FORESAW WARFARE IN AIR
Horace Walpole Recognized the Value
of the Balloon, While It Was
in Its Infancy.
A remarkable prediction of the part
that aerial machines would one day
play in warfare was made by Horace
Walpole—describe?¢ by Lord Macau
lay as the best letter writer in the
English language—in a letter written
from his famous Gothic “castle,”
Strawberry Hill, to the countess of
Upper Ossory on October 23, 1784.
Not only d'1 Walpole forecast the
use of airships in war, but he also
sugegected the century in which such
warfare would be waged. He wrote:
“Balloons is a subject I did not in-
tend to tan. If they can be improved
into anything more than Brobding-
nag kites, it must be in a century or
two after I shall be laid low. A cen-
tury in my acceptation, means a hun-
dred years hence. After one
ceases to be, all duration is of the
same length; and everything that one
‘guesses will happen after oneself is
no more is equally a vision.”
Walnole goes on to speak of the
“airv vehicles” with which the atmos-
phere may be peopled hereafter, and
says he does not care to discuss the
question.
“How much more expeditiously the |.
East, West or South will be ravaged
and butchered than they have been by
the old-fashioned clumsy method of
navigation.”
“lI smile,” says Walpole, “at the
adoration paid to these aerial Quix-
otes. I observe that no im-
provements of science or knowleddge
makes the world a jot wiser.”
The first successful ascents in a
balloon had been made by Montgolfier
in 1783.
‘GREAT LIBRARY OF LEMBERG
The Latest Statistics of the Univer-
sity Collectiors in the European
War Zone.
The last report of the Lemberg Uni-
versity librarv was printed in No. 3 of
the Polish Monthly Ksiazka. It re-
cords an increase of 5,505 titles in the
library in 7,950 volumes, making a to-
tal of 240,000 volumes. Of these, 1,644
| volumes came as gifts from the Gali-
| cian publishers, 1,983 volumes from
| institutions and government publica-
| tions and 1,278 from individuals or
| private institutions. In 1913 67,935
i readers used 220,317 volumes in the
reading rooms and 8,917 readers
: called for 17,710 volumes for outside
. reading, making a total of 76,852 read-
{ers and 237,183 volumes. The in-
| crease in circulation was 1,455, thanks
to easier access to the improved card
| catalogue and handy catalogue of pe-
! riodicals and publications in the li-
| brary.
The University library of Lemberg
. was founded in 1774 by Joseph II from
the books of the confiscated cloisters
. of Galicia. In 1848 it was almost com-
pletely destroyed by fire. Its collee-
| tion was restored from contributions
| of duplicates from the Biblioteka Os-
| solinskich ana the collection of S.
| Borkowski. so that in 1898 it once
| more contained 100,000 volumes.
Why He Didn’t Contribute.
“About the very poorest excuse I
| have ever heard for a rich man not to
' make a contribution to charity, a spe-
cific case where a lot of us were try-
ing to do something for an excellent
local cause,” said a Brongxite, ‘the
New York Sun remarks, “was handed
out to ms by a wealthy friend on
whom I had been sent to call by the
committee because he was my friend.
I stated the case to him and asked
him for $100—Ilittle enough consider-
Ing what he had—but did I get it? Not
any. Neither did I get anything, and
his excuse was that his income tax
was so heavy he really couldn’t afford
to spend any money except for per-
sonal necessities. He was dead seri-
ous about it. too. and didn’t see any-
thing incongruous in it even when I
gave him the laugh. He isn’t an alto-
gether stingy man, either, but that
income tax somehow had got on his
nerves.”
Tea and The.
At a tea given at the Ruhl in Nice to
the officers of the Mediterranean fleet,
E. Royal Tyler, the well-known author,
said, nodding toward a sign, “The Dan-
sant,” which might be translated
“Tango Tea.” :
“A French maid, when I refused tea
the other afternoon, exclaimed:
“ ‘But monsieur is not like his fel-
low-countrymen, then!’
“ ‘Not like them? How 80?’ I said.
“‘Why, said the maid, ‘I picked up
one of your American novels the other
day—a Howells novel—and, though I
can’t read English, I saw there was
nothing but ‘tea,’ ‘tea,’ ‘tea,’ on every
page. Now people who talk so much
about tea must be inordinately fond
of it, n’est-ce pas, monsieur?
“She thought, you see, that our ar-
ticle ‘the’ had the same meaning as
‘the’ in French.”
Draft Oxen in England.
Owing to the demands of the war
office there is such a dearth of horses
for harvest purposes in the north of
England that farmers are training
oxen for the reapers and the plows,
and it is not an unusual eight to see
an old horse, long past the stage when
he would attract the eye of a remount
officer, yoked with a steer. There are
many who would be glad to see a re-
vival of the use of oxen for certain
draft purposes, since it would prob
ably lead to an increased raising of
cattle for beef purposes.

The Honor of the Boy Scout.
The most important scout virtue is
that of honor. Indeed, that is the basis
of all scout virtues and is closely al
lied to that of self-respect. When a
scout promises to do a thing on his
honor, hc is-bound to ‘do it. The honor
of a scout will not permit of anything
but the highest and the best and the
manliest. The honor of a scout is a
sacred thing, and cannot be lightly set
aside or trampled on.—From the Boy
Scout Handbook.
The Foy Who Dreams.
It is a good thing for the farmer boy
to have an imagination, says the Prai-
rie Farmer. It is a good thing for
him to “dream dreams and see vi-
sions.” It takes a dreamer to see the
transformation that intelligent effort
AA
will bring to pass on the old .place. |
It takes a dreamer to see how much
more desirable that place will be in
ten years than a job in a dry goods
store.— Emporia Gazette.
The Silent Hour.
One of the most valuable and ef-
fective methods of relaxation, recently
tried for both children and mother,
has been “the silent hour” immedi-
ately after lunchecn. Each member
of the family’s privilege of reading,
writing or sleeping is respected dur- |!
ing this hour, in which children—atter | Hindu proverb, look into still water;
a few days’ trial—readily co-operate.
Lesson From the Lily.
How easily we lose poise, swept by
the current of life! Our root is not
deep enough. Consider the lily rest-
ing on the face of the waters, its roots
far below. How serene it rides the
ripples, and how confidently it has
sought the light, that its life may ex-
pand therein above the turbulence of
the waves!—Trinities and Sanctities.
Fully Prepared.
“How is this, Herr Zwetscke? You
have got your room full of oleanders
and other tropical plants, and a tele-
phone, 1 see.” “You see I have been
asked to compose a poem on spring,
that is why I have had a telephone
laid on the public park to enable me to
listen to the singing of the birds.”=—
Der Floh.

Early Slave-Holding State.
Maryland was an early slave-hold-

At middle life a man should be at his
best physically and mentally. He would
if he followed “honest nature’s rule” and
lived a more even life. Middle life sees
the average man prematurely old. He is
gray or bald, his face wrinkled, his eyes
blurred, his hands tremulous. He has
overdrawn his account with Nature and
she is staving off the total bankruptcy of
the body as long as she can. How long
she can do this depends upon the man
himeelf. He can aid Nature greatly.
The best aid to Nature is the use of Dr.
Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery. It
supplies the material by which the physi-
cal deficiencies can be made gond. 1t
increases the quantity of the blood and
purifies it. The use of the “Discovery”
with proper attention to general hygiene
will insure a sturdy old age.
