May Be New Ceylon Industry.
The production in Ceylon, on a suf-
ficiently large scale, of acetic acid, if
it be successfully accomplished, will
be a notable instance of a new in-
dustry being born as a result of war.
The possibility of turning the “milk”
in the cocoanut into acetic acid is now
receiving the attention of the authori-
ties in Colombo, and this probable ad-
ditional source of supply will be wel-
comed.
Something Worth Bragging About.
One day I decided to visit one of
my old friends and to take my little
niece, five years old, with me. We
were talking about dishes and my
friend got one of her highly-prized
hand-painted plates and was telling
me how much she valued it, when the
little girl broke in: “Oh, that’s nuffin’.
Why, we live in a hand-painted house.”
—Chicago Tribune.
Looking Far Ahead.
The vivid imagination of childhood
is as a fairy charm for magnifying
possibilities. A small boy, being di-
rected to empty his bulging pockets,
brought forth among other strange
treasures a circular piece of rub-
ber. Asked its nature and purpose he
made answer: “Well, that a real good
washer. I'm going to start an auto-
mobile shop with it some day.”
Wood Used for Engraving.
The better wood engravings are
made almost exclusively of boxwood,
and the large blocks are made of
small pieces glued together. The en-
graving is done across the end of the
grain. Japanese wood prints, on the
other hand, are made on lengthwise
sections of cherry wood parallel to the
grain.
Wild Beasts in Indian Province.
In the province of Sind, India, there
are more than three million five hun-
dred and thirteen thousand people,

chinker, the black buck and the hog
deer are comparatively common.

key recently procured seeds of various

warded them to the Philippines and

ing.

tobacco Holland leads the world, with
Belgium second and the United States
third.
Paraguay’s Forest Wealth.

sources, the most important of which
is quebracho, particularly rich in
tannin,
St. Louls the Fur Center.
Three-fourths of all furs trapped o.

Daily Thought.
The finest of all fine arts i3 the ne
art of living.—Henry Drummond,
Surely a Prize Turkey.
An old Scotchwoman had a reputa-
tion far and near for her fine fowls,
and had often been awarded prizes at
the neighboring shows. During the
Curistmas season a gentleman stay-
ing in the neighborhood, hearing her
puultry so highly praised, resolved to
give her a trial, sc sent an order for
the finest turkey she had, and after
a little delay was delighted to re-
ceive as fine a specimen as could be
wished for. This delight, however,
was short lived, for on trying to
carve the bird he found it so tough as
to resist all his efforts. Enraged, he
sallied forth to find the woman, who
he believed had swindled him. After
listening to his outburst of wrath she
exclaimed: “Hoots, man, why ye canna
tell a guid fowl when ye see ane. That
bubbly-jock’s ta’en th’ first prize at
th’ show for th’ last seven years!”
The History of Other Countries.
It is not at all the history of our
own country which is all-important,
overshadowing all the rest, not the his-
tory of the times nearest to our own,
says Frederic Harrison. If his-
tory be the continuous biography of
the . human race, it may well
be that the history of remoter times,
which have the least resemblance to
our own, may often be the more valu-
able to us, as correcting national prej-
udices and the narrow ideas bred in
us by daily custom. The his-
tory of other races, and of different
customs, may be of all things the best
to correct our vanities, and
our conventional prejudices. We have
indeed to know the history of our own
country, of the latter ages. But the
danger is, that we may know little
other history.
Insufficiency in Men.
It has been said that the ideal man
is a perfect “transformer.” Hg acts
like a reversible battery; that is to
say, that after having acted for dis-
charge like an ordinary battery he
is regenerated by a nervous current
which constitutes the recharging. An
increase of the muscular and vaso-
motor tonicity may be produced in
one part by diminution in another
part of the body, which probably has
something to do with ap thy or par-
tial laziness. The tendency to this
laziness has its roots in the ‘phys-
iological condition. It marks some
insufficiency, in various degrees. A
person who is “born lazy” has this
insufficiency to a maximum degree.
One of Marshall Wilder's Stories.
When I was in Japan and China I
went through the prisons and the
courts. Funny about the Chinese.
Every ten miles you strike a new dia-
lect. When they arrest a Chinaman
it takes three or four interpreters to
find out what his offense is. I saw
one fellow dragged in by the queue.
The judge asked what the charge was.
The first interpreter told the second,
the second told the third, the third
told the fourth, and the fourth told
the judge that the fellow had stolen
a yellow dog. “Well,” said the judge,
“I am glad it was not a black-and-|
tan.”
Boy’s Game of Marbles.
A number of minstrels who were
touring the country on the “so much
a week and cakes” plan arrived at a
small town and were put up at
a boarding house. Shortly thereafter
they all congregated in the largest
room and two sets of crap dice were
produced. The landlady heard the
rise and fall of voices and the sound
of the rollinz bones and went upstairs
to investigate. She stood in the door-
way for a minute, unnoticed, and then
broke in with this bit of scorn: “A
fine lot of men you are to be playing
a kid's game of marbles!”
Russian Villages.
Russian villages generally consist of
one long, straggling and unpaved
street. In North Russia the houses
are composed of logs placed horizon-
tally, one above the other, the inter-
stices being filled with tow and moss.
The inerior consists of a single room
The brick stove is used for heating,
cooking and baking, and also as a
couch and bed. Every house in town
and country has its jkon, with a per-
petually burning lamp, before which
every Russian crosses himself on en-
tering the room.
Descendants of Youthful Unions.
A Chicago man recently offered one
hundred dollars for the proofs that
any great men have been produced by
a family practicing early marriages
throughout a century. In other words,
he claims that three generations to a
hundred years are all that there
should be to result in vigorous de-
scendants as a protest against recent
medical opinions in favor of youthful
marriages which, if constantly car-
ried out from parents to children,
would average four generations to a
century.
Not the Right House.
It had been a hard day for the book
agent. Sales were desperately slow,
and as a last resort he decided to
try a nearby house despite its shabby
appearance. “Have you a Charles
Dickens in your home?” he asked po-
litely. “No,” she snapped. “Or =
Robert Louis Stevenson?” “No.” “Ox
a Walter Scott?” “No, we ain’t, an’
what's more, we don’t run a boarding
house here, either. If you're looking
for them fellows you might try the
house across the street. I understand
they keep boarders.”

the condition grows no better. Women
in such a case who have used Dr. Pierce’s
Favorite Prescription have wondered to
find dizziness and faintness both dis-
appear. Why? “Favorite Prescription”
is a medicine for diseases of the woman-
ly organs! Exactly. And it removes
headache, dizziness, fainting spells, back-
ache, and many other ills, because these |
are caused by the derangement or dis-
ease of the delicate feminine organism.
That is why “Favorite Prescription”
makes weak women strong and sick
women well. .
Profound Diagnosis.
A well-known aviator was not feel-
ing very well, so he thought he would
consult a physician, to whom he was
a stranger. He told the doctor his
symptoms. The doctor examined him
carefully and said: “My dear sir, you
are all right. What you want is plenty |
of fresh air.”
