{ The Capital's Fifth Avenue.
{ Fennsylvania avenue in Washington
is usually listed among the world’s
famous streets, but to tlre Washington-
ian this avenue has not half the im-
portance and attractiveness of F street,
the recognized parade ground of the
fashionable on sunny afternoons. F
street in Washington is an institution
like the monument, the government
clerk and band concerts in the parks.
It dates back far enough to tax the
memory of Washington's few oldest in-
habitants, but no records of its origin
are filed in the city hall.
Singing Requires Strength.
. Students should remember that sing-
ing right requires great physical
‘strength, observes a vocal teacher. The
late Madame Nordica remarked that it
required the training of a prize fighter.
‘The human race is not physically as
strong as it was a hundred years ago.
The abdominal muscles seem to have
suffered the greatest relapse, hence the
scarcity of really great singers. In
singing more than in anything else it
is the “survival of the fittest.”
Size of a City Lot.
The question is often asked what
part of an acre an ordinary city lot is.
One 686x165 feet contains just a quar-
ter-acre and contains 10,890 square
feet. Ten acres, if square, would
measure 660 feet alonggeach side and
a strip of that length and one-tenth !
the length, or 66 feet, would make an
acre, and if but one-fourth as long or
165 feet would make a quarter acre.
This is a good-sized city lot.
No Office Cat.
A tradition of the office cat around
a newspaper survives from earlier
times, but it is only a tradition, for
there is no such animal, notes an ex-
change. Probably he, or she, was once
endured because of his supposed effi-
ciency as a hunter of rats and mice,
but no modern office is infested with
rodents, and therefore it is not neces-
sary that it should tolerate a cat.
Favors Early Parenthood.
Early parenthood is productive of
warriors, but not of good brain work-
ers, for, says Doctor Redfield, “when
we look over those intellectually su-
perior men who have done so much for
the world’s advancement we find them
to have been predominantly the sons of
elderly parents and only rarely the
sons of men less than twenty-five.”
America’s Natural Bridges.
There are probably more natural
bridges in America than in any other
country. Rainbow, the largest in exist-
ence, is 308 feet high. Its span is six
times as great as that of the natural
bridge of Virginia. Utah has three
natural bridges that are higher and of
greater span than any other natural
bridges in the wo...
Watched Him Swell.
Leslie had been suffering with a
severe toothache so that his face had
become badly swollen. Returning from
school the following day his mother
asked him what the teacher said to
him and he replied, “She did not say
anything, but the kids all got around
me to watch me swell.”
. Center of Jute Industry.
Dundee practically owes its exis-
tence to its textile industry. It was
the pioneer in the adoption of jute as
a fiber for making cloth ¢f a cheap
quality, and its hold upon the trade
has been so firmly maintained and de-
veloped that Dundee is recognized as
the principal center of the jute indus-
try in Great Britain.
Tibet History Lost.
The history of Tibet is lost in the
obscurity of the long ago, for its cus-
toms date back to the morning of the
world. Its people come from the an-
clent ages, and it is only known that
they belong to the Tibeto-Indo-Chinese
branch of Keene’s Homo Mongolicus.’
® . Fond of Chicken Hearts.
Lucy is fond of the hearts of all
fowls. When dining out with friends
she was asked what her choice of the
shicken was. Forgetting the name for
the moment, she said: “I fordet de
name. It's de part what makes his
live.”
Many Seem to Think S
¢ Like everybody else, the paragraph-
er has his dull days, though, perhaps,
the rest of the people feel that the
paragrapher has more of them than
anybody else.—Wilmington News.
Definition of True Friend.
“A friend,” said Uncle Eben, “is a
man dat laughs at yoh funny stories
even if dey ain’t so good; an’ sympa-
thizes wif yoh misfortunes, even if dey
ain’t so bad.”
Circle of Ulloa.
The circle of Ulloa is a white rain-
bow or luminous ring sometimes seen
in Alpine regions opposite the sun in
foggy weather. It’s an odd sight.
Exceptions to All Rules.
In so complex a thing as human na-
ture, we must consider it hard to find
-ules without exceptions.
New Electric Furnaces.
The success of electric heat in japan
and varnish oven work has led to con-
gderable investigation along the line
| of what might be termed low tempera-
ture heating; that is, heating with
temperatures up to 600 degrees Fah-
renheit. The results of these investi-
gations have brought out numerous
other applications, among which are
electric core baking ovens, electric
bread baking ovens, ovens for making
cereals, drying woolen articles and
squipment for sherardizing.
A Good Wife.
Once upon a time there was a farm-
er whose wife daily pumped the house-
hold supply of water up to a tank on
the roof, says The Little Journal. Af-
ter 20 years he installed an electric
motor to do this for her. Careful cal-
culation brought out the fact that the
wife had been working that pump han-
dle 3,650 hours at a value of half a
cent per hour. She had saved him
$18.75 in 20 years. What was it the
preacher said about her worth being
above rubies? -
Birds’ Nest Soup.
The birds’ nests from which the far-
famed Chinese soup is made are built
by a species of swallow that abounds
on the coasts of Java, Ceylon and Bor-
neo, and consists of a gelatinous sub-
stance obtained from marine plants.
The nests are boiled either in chicken
broth or in milk of almonds, and the
result very much resembles vermicelli
soup, except that it is far more costly.
Ball vs. Roller Bearings.
Ball bearings are a German inven-
tion, and it is only a few years ago
that they made their appeara = on
the market. Roller bearings, both cyl-
indrical and conical, are an American
invention. The advantages claimed for
the rollers over the balls are that they
can sustain both the radial and the
axial strain and they are more easily
replaced when they become worn.
Responsibility on Heredity.
The oldest nations invariably have
the most philosophers and learned
seers. This has been thought to be
due, observes a writer, to their great-
er accumulation of knowledge, but
this new theory places the responsi-
bility in large part upon heredity—
tha fact that men of civilized nation
give their sons the mental equipment
of civilization.
Written in Fifteenth Century.
Written in the fifteenth century, a
manuscript containing letters and
minor works of St. Cyprian, bishop of
Carthage, father of the Latin church,
who suffered martyrdom in 258, was
one of the most interesting objects
when the dispersal of the libraries of
Charles J. Groves of Boston, Mass.
and others was begun.
When a Woman May Lie.
A Kansas City court has ruled that
“q woman may lie to her husband when
the provocation is great enough.”
From our meager experience, notes the
Pennsylvania Grit, it appears as if the
dear ones are provoked virtually all
the time. And, mercy, how angry they
do become when the subject of ages is
broached.
The Old Octagon Coin.
The most valuable coin authorized
in the United States is the double
Eagle, worth $20, of course. But there
was formerly struck in California what
was called an “octagon” because of
its shape, and it passed for $50. It
was current elsewhere, but never le-
gal tender.
An Indian Dawn.
I awoke—and beyond the great trees
I saw the dawn come up like thunder,
as it does on Mandaley. Exactly like
thunder it came up, rolling, rising,
crashing clouds of copper and dull
gold, reddening, breaking, mounting,
out-topping one another.—Atlantic.
Well Posted.
They were discussing literature and
the conversation turned to English au-
thors. “Have you read Carlyle?” in-
quired the literary connoisseur. “No,”
answered the literary pavenu, “but I've
.i visited his Indian school.”
Late Food Discoveries.
Lichens have been proposed as the
latest addition to staple articles of
diet. One scientist has suggested Ice-
land moss as suitable for making flour
for bread and reindeer moss as good
fodder for animals.
Dangerous Symptom.
“I hear that Bilcum is going to run
for congress.” “Really? I'm not sur-
prised. When he was a boy they say
his parents were awfully worried
about him.”—Life.

There wuz a time when a feller could

then mebbe relax a little. But now
you got to keep your pose all the time.

The Kind You Have Always Bought.
Former Acquaintances One Meets in
New York Must Not Be Judged
by Their Appearance.
You never can tell who is who wher
von meet them in the White Light sec
tion. The other night a Pittsburghe:
ran into a former Steel Cityite whq
was wandering along the big lane. H¢
wasn’t so glad to see him, as he fearec
a “touch,” because back home the mar
never seemed prosperous. neither was
he down and out. His appearance
hadn’t - changed sinee his residence
here.
“How long have you been living in
New York?” asked the visitor.
“Oh, about three years,” replied the
former resident.
“Then you know the town pretty
well?” was the next query.
The former Pittsburgher admitted
that he did, and gave the visitor some
advice and warning about the big city.
He listened. Then he asked: “What
are you doing here, Bill?”
“Working for a bank down town,”
replied thé other man.
The Pittsburgher didn’t press his
chance friend for details. He thought
that Bill had one of those jobs down
town where one starves to death
amidst the wealth of the nation—die of
thirst upon the fountair’s brink.
“Won't you take lunch with me?” he
asked, and Bill said he would be de-
lighted—some time.
The next day the Pittsburgher went
to a bank down town to see about a
check of a friend of his which had
gone astray. “You will have to see
the cashier,” he was told, and there
was the former Steel City man. He
was in an office market “private” on
the door and his name in gold on the
side of the desk. He was cashier of
ore of the biggest banks in the world.’

CAN WIN BATTLES AT HOME
Housewife Finds Jey in Thought That
She Is Helping to Defeat the
Hated Boche.
“It’s a funny thing,” said the Man to
his Wife the other night. “You used
to like cooking, =-s*I remember it.
Breaking a new maid in was always a
ime of great trial and tribulation. But
every night I come home to dinner you
emerge from the kitchen almost as
though you hated to leave the master-
pieces you have evolved long enough
to greet your hard-working husband
properly. What's the reason?”
“Well,” said the Wife of her Hus-
band, “it's like this. It's a sort of
game. I may not ever see any fighting,
bat I feel that out there in the kitchen
I am helping France, Engiand and, last
but not least, our own blessed boys.
Every time I make a loaf of rye bread
I feel like waving a flag. Every time
I make my allowance stretch a little
bit I feel as though I had won a battle.
Aud so I have. I've beaten old General
Highcostaliving. Every time I squeeze
a War Savings stamp out of the food
allowance I feel that I personally have
fired a shot at the Boches.”
“Good girl,” and the Man patted his
Wife gently. “Since I can’t go and we
heve no one to give, the best we can
do is to play the game over here as
though we loved it.”
Dog’s Death .Led to Suicide.
Mrs. Margaret Dugdale, wife of
Norman Dugdale, J. P., of Dutton
Manor, near Blackburn, was found
dead with a bullet wound in her fore-
head in a field near the grave of her
favorite dog, which had been de-
stroyed on account of old age. De-
pression caused by its loss was sug-
gested at the inquest as the cause of
her suicide, says Lloyd’s News, Lon-
don. When found she was grasping a
humane cattle killer, at her feet was
a mallet with which she had dis-
charged the weapon, and a loaded re-
volver was in a basket near her. She
had fixed a mirror to the fence, and
a note pinned to her dress gave direc-
tions for the disposal of her body.
Mr. Dugdale sald he thought the dog's
death, which his wife had taken great-
ly to heart, was the cause of the
tragedy, and the jury’s verdict was
that Mrs. Dugdale shot herself while
of unsound mind.

Story of Grizzly and Herd of Elk.
“Most people pass on, with both
haste and speed, when they encoun-
ter a grizzly bear, but there was one
time when 1 saw a grizzly bear, with-
out any fuss, fidget or flurry, spurt
into a forced ‘march, and that bear
certainly bestirred himself while I|
had the pleasure of standing by as an |
amused spectator of the scene. If |
things had been different, and the |
grizzly and I had met alone, I might |
have done a holus-bolus myself,” re- |
marked Robert Hilliard. i
“Two summers ago,” continued Hil-
liard, “I was out in the west and had |
a camp high up on one of the ranges. |
There was plenty of snow up there, |
and a number of elk. These elks were |
enjoying themselves and were the |
picture of real contentment, for they !
had found a summer home that they |
liked, and, what is most important, |
very suitable for them. }
“For several days I had been watch- |
ing the herd and had been varying’
my usual practice of shooting by tak-
ing some snapshots. One day when
I was intently observing the elk, I
saw -a large grizzly bear had sighted
them and had given up going after
small game and began stalking the
elks. It didn’t take the herd long to
have their sentinel spot the grizzly,
and they must have had some mili-
tary genius with the elk, for as soon
as.he came in view, the herd gather-
ed into one dense mass. There were
many hundreds of them, and it was
most interesting to see the defensive
Hood’s Sarsaparilla.
Rheumatism
The Way to Get Rid of it is to Re-
move the Cause.
The fact that rheumatism depends
on an excess of uric acid in the blood,
affecting the muscles and joints, pro-
ducing inflammation, stiffness and
pain, is well established. This excess
is due to some defect in the process-
es of digestion and absorption, and
to Yorpidiy or sluggishness of the
liver, kidneys and skin.
Hood’s Sarsaparilla is very suc-
cessful in the treatment of rheuma-
tism because it acts directly, with
purifying effect, on the blood, and
through the blood on the liver, kid-
neys and skin, which it stimulates,
and builds up the whole system.

formation of the elks while they
awaited the attack of the enemy.
“There was a remarkable amount
of intelligence shown, and I think I
might almost say military sagacity,
prepared. ink
if they had been human beings they
could not have shown any more intel-
ligence. About 40 of the old bulls,
having immense horns, threw them-
selves out in sort of a protecting fan,
and back of them were the anxious
females and the young calves. It is
only fair to say that the mother elks
seemed as anxious to give battle as
did the bulls. Along came Mr. griz-
zly, and attempted to circle the herd,
evidently intent on a flank movement.
But he found the walking was rather
bad, because of those dangerous
horns of the bulls, and after a num-
ber of really laughable attempts, the
grizzly gave up his flanking move-
ment. hen Mr. bear seemed to con-
sider making a direct assault, but he
just gave one look at the almost im-
pregnable fortress the horns of those
bulls made, and the bellowing chal-
lenge they gave him caused an in-
stant cessation of hostilities on the
part of the grizzly, and he just faded
out of the picture. It is quite a pleas-
ant sight to watch such a military
maneuver on the part of animals, but
what was the pleasantest sight of all
to me was that that grizzly wasn’t
hot-footing after me. I don’t know
what would have happened to me if
I had been alone and he had spied ine,
but he evidently had no time for me
after his experience with the elks.”

Had Almost Given Up Hope.
“I have given Goldine praise for
what it has done for me. I had
rheumatism for over ten years. I had
almost given up hope of ever being
better but somehow I felt confidence
in Goldine almost from the start. The
first bottle gave me such relief that I
felt as though I had a new lease on
life. I hope all that have or are suf-
fering as I did will try it. I surely
cannot praise it too highly.”
Certainly this will prove to those
who have not taken Goldine what won-
derful results are obtained in giving
Goldine a full and thorough trial. You
never will regret it as thousands
