Forty Years in Stock.
The latest coincidence which has
Just come to my knowledge (writes a
correspondent) befell an elderly gen-
tleman well known in literary circles.
Wishing to refer to a book he had
used in his schooldays, he visited the
‘second-hand shop in Charing Cross
road which specializes in this class of
work. On inquiry he found they had
one copy of the volume in stock.
When he opened it he found on the
front page his own name written there
well over forty years ago.—Pall Mall
‘Gazette. :
The End of it All.
Measuring things by dollars, by
hours, by pounds and yardsticks, meas-
ures everything accurately enough ex-
cept the one thing we wish to meas-
ure, which is a man’s soul. We are
producing the material things of life
faster, more cheaply, more shoddily,
but it is open to question whether we
are producing happier men and wom-
en, and that is what we are striving
to do at the end of it all.
There's a Difference.
An enterprising gentleman of the
breezy West, who superintends the
“railroad eating house” in his town,
has recently hung out a sign that fur-
nishes considerable amusement to
those who pass by, says Lipipncott’s.
it reads: “Pies like mother used to
make, five cents; pies like mother
used to try to make, ten cents.”
We Think So, Too.
“Charles, you're spending too much
money this year. Too many dances,
too many clothes, too many taxies,
too many—" “Well, father, I'll tell
you how I look at it. It seems to me
that every family ought to be able to
support one gentleman.” — Cornell

First Patent for Plow.
The first patent for a plow is said
to have been obtained by Joseph Fol-
jamb in 1730. His invention was close-
ly followed by other plow makers, and
he struck the same practical idea
that has been so elaborated in the
soil-turning instrument of today.
Too Tame to Hunt.
In Scituate a fox which had been
released as game for the hunters
proved too tame. It refused to run
from the dog that was released against
it, but ran up to one of the hunters,
‘who took pity on it and picked it up.—

To Remove Wet Ink Stains.
Rub with a piece of ripe tomato and
then rinse well in cold water. Wash
and boil, or put a little red ink on the
mark and wash. The acid dissolves
the iron in the ink and sets free the
tanning or coloring matter, which will
boil out.
When You Sponge Clothes.
The troublesome rings which often
appear on clothes after they have been
sponged with gasoline or naphtha can
be avoided by adding a couple of ta-
blespoonfuls of table salt to the cleans-
ing fluid.
In British Law.
Should the eaves of a man’s house
project over his neighbor’s land, the
latter may pull them down at once, ac-
cording to British law, unless they
have so projected for 20 years.

When They Grow Up.
Have you ever noticed how few
“smart” people amount to anything?
The “slick” individuals you meet—they
do not seem to get anywhere. The
fakers are the “smartest” people on
earth, but you have never known one
to get very far on the road to success.
Take the “smart” girl. She seems to
know everything on earth. She dresses
a little louder than other girls. She
always manages to wear something
that is “chic.” She has the boys hang-
ing around her in groups. She talks
in terms that the plainer girl cannot
understand; but later on in life she
will be found putting up a terrific fight
against time while the girl who was
not nearly so smart is occupying a
position of dignity and joy at the
head of a sensible home.
And as for the smart boy—the one
who “gets by” in a manner the other
boys cannot understand, and who may
for the time being be envied by the
other boys because of his foppish man-
ners—he doesn’t become the head of
a prosperous business. It is the plod:
der that seems to get there in the end

Probably not 1 per cent of the sue-
cessful men in the world today gave
any evidence of having great ability
when they were “kids.” The prodigies
do not make good. The ‘exceptional’
youngster in school seldom conquers
after he has entered real life; but
the plain fellow of common sense,
slow to learn, slow to become en-
thused, slow to make companions and
slow to give them up—the fellow
who sticks to a job until it is finished,
that is the fellow who in after life
rules and regulates the affairs of this
little green ball.—Dayton News.
DRAWBACKS TO NEW IDEA
Cutting Down of Hours of Sleep Will
Be Sure to Meet With Much
Opposition.
A specialist who has pursued his
studies with devotion, announces that
mind and body that may be thrown off
completely through gradual relinquish-
ment. It is his view that the average
man may add 20 years to his conscious
existence by disposing of his sleep
habit. The cult has progressed to
the extent that many men are now
in a way to eliminate their hours of
repose, with some show of success,
but there is vast complaint from their
families during the preliminary stages
of the cure. The man who has been
sleeping eight hours is not enabled
to shade the interval of rest to four
hours without seriously disturbing
his household. One who retires at
midnight and arises at four o’clock
in the morning awakens other inmates
of his home, both on retiring and
arising. There is some inherent de-
fect in human nature that leads one
to go blundering about a house, knock-
ing over chairs and shaking down the
furnace, when he should be preserv-
ing a deep silence. For this reason
the home treatment of the sleep habit
i8 not likely to be popular. What
should be done, for the protection of
normal humans, is to hive the sleep-
habit patients in barracks where they
may strangle sleep at will without
disturbing others. To curious stran-
gers the barracks would be a show
place, where the lights would be al-
ways shining like beacons and where
the activities of life might proceed
as at noon. There is some demur to
the sleep treatment for the reason
that it adds one meal a day to the
requirements of the patient—a re-
quirement that is practically prohibi-
tive to many.
Stomach Ache.
Segmentary neurosis is the predis-
posing cause of disease belonging to
the class of the paroxysmal spasmodic
disorders associated with the mus:
culature of the alimentary canal. In
members of this class seizures occur
in connection with food taking and
gastro-oesophageal hypertonus; they
also occur from mental and emotion-
al excitement, and from muscular ef-
fort; in them both visceral and parie-
tal layers of muscles are engaged in
spasm. Consequently they resemble
the anginal seizure in other features
besides that of predisposing cause. A
neurosis attended by intercostal hy-
peralgesia ensues when dendritic
fibers belonging to the affected cen-
ter traverse pressure zones of hyper-
plasias, aneurisms, new growths and
pericardial and pleuritic adhesions.
Hence these diseases, as well as gas-
tric disorders, may be regarded as
potential remote causes of anginal
pains and seizures.—H. Walter Verdun
in the Lancet.
Odd Fishes.
It 1s said that at one time the Ice-
landers taught tame bears to jump into
the sea and catch seals. In China
birds do equally well, for at a signal
they dive into the lakes and bring up
large fish grasped in their bills. In
Greece the fishermen use branches of
pine steeped in pitch and lighted; the
inhabitants of Amorgos used cypress-
leaved cedar, which served, when light-
ed, as a lure; and the Chinese fish 1n
the night with white-painted boards
placed 1n a manner to reflect the rays
of the moon upon the water. These
attract the fish to the boat, when the
men cast a large net and seldom fail to
draw out considerable quantities. An-
chovies are fished for in a similiar man-
ner.

ficial Cancers of Skin and
Other Cases.
+ Of 746 cases of cancer treated in
the Radium Institute of London last
year there were 69 apparent cures,
while 328 were reported improved.
‘Many of the cases came to the atten-
tion of the institute in too advanced a
stage to be remedied.
The comparatively new curative
known as radium is especially useful
in dealing with superficial cancers of
the skin and with cases that are not
easily operable. Conveniently handled,
it gets at growths which cannot be
.reached by means of the X-rays. Be-
cause the patient can take radium in
the mouth, cancer of the mouth, or
palate, for instance, can be readily
dealt with by radium.
Those birthmarks commonly known
as “port wine stains” seem to be ef-
fectively treated with radium. A por-
ter suffering from this disfigurement
had repeatedly been refused employ-
ment. He went to the institute and
after a time the mark was entirely
eradicated.
More Oil Wells in Argentina.
Nine new wells are now producing
total number of wells 23. These wells,
it is calculated, should give a total
monthly production of 12,000 tons, for
which the state expects to receive
about $955,000 during the year. Up
to December 31 last proceeds of sales
had brought in $340,000. Even assum:
ing that the results anticipated above
are realized during the current year,
the supply will be inadequate to justi
fy many big firms in adopting oil fuel
instead of coal, unless they can make
formal contracts for the quantities
they require. In the meantime, the
‘Anglo-Mexican Petroleum Products
company finds a more than ready mar-
ket to absorb its large shipments,
amounting to 10,000 to 16,000 tons
monthly.
; Caricature.
Mrs. O, H. P. Belmont, the suffragist
leader, was praising in New York the
recruiting work of the English suffra-
gists.
“Englishmen now,’ she said, ‘have
a better understanding of their suffra-
gist sisters. The average English-
“Knitters’ Neuritis.”
Too much wartime knitting and sew-
ing is responsible for the appearance
in England of a malady which may be
compared with writers’ cramp or ten-
nis elbow. The physicians call it
“knitters’ neuritis.” The only treat:
ment is to give up knitting indefi-
nitely. ;
“When any untrained set of muscles
is suddenly called upon to repeat in-
definitely a complex and unaccus
tomed sequence of movements,” says
a London physician, “a spasmodic
paralysis is very likely to develop.
Knitters’ neuritis begins with the
worker feeling that the usual wrist
and finger movements cannot be fol
lowed with the customary ease. Then
the muscles get stiff, and in the later
stage develop a spasmodic cramp as
soon as the knitting needles are
taken into the fingers. Although the
is well illustrated in an anecdote.
“ ‘Dear me, said one woman to an-
other, ‘here's a wife just been arrested
for horsewhipping her husband in a
public theater! ]
“ ‘Quite right, the other woman, a
suffragist answered firmly. ‘Quite
right, too, to arrest her. These pain-
ful duties should never be performed
in public, but only on the sacred pri-
vacy of the home ”

reply. ’
