BABY’S SMALL BROTHER.
Yes, I've got a little brother
Never asked to have him nuther,
But he’s here.
They just went away and bought him,
And last week, the doctor brought him,
Weren’t that queer?
When I heard the news from Molly,
Why I thought at first 'twas jolly,
‘Cause you see,
1 s’posed I could go and get him,
And then, mamma, 'course would let him
Play with me.
But when I had once looked at him,
“Why,” I says, ‘Great snakes, is that
him ?
Just that mite!”
They said “Yes,” and “Ain't he cunnin’?”
And I thought they must be funnin’—
He's a sight!
He's so small, it’s just amazin’,
And you'd think that he was blazin’,
He's so red.
And his nose is like a berry,
And he’s bald as Uncle Jerry
On the head.
Why, he isn’t worth a brick,
All he does is ery and kick,
He can’t stop; |
Won't sit up, you can’t arrange him—
I don’t see why pa don’t change him
At the shop.
Now we've got to dress and feed him,
And we really didn’t need him
More’'n a frog;
Why'd they buy a baby brother
When they know I'd good deal ruther
Have a dog?

FLOEBERG NOT AN ICEBERG
Former Yeiiow and Dirty in Colery
t.atter Ordinarlly Brilliant
White With Streaks.
While floebergs often are of great
size, they are much different from
fcebergs, Rene Bache writes in the
Philadelphia Public Ledger. They are
yellow and dirty-looking in color,
while icebergs are ordinarily a bril-
* liant white, with ultramarine streaks.
The streaks are pure ice, while the
white parts are largely solidified snow.
Floebergs are formed in the bays
along the coast of Labrador, where
fce is blown shoreward and piled up,
sheet on sheet, during the winter.
When summer comes the masses thus
formed are liable to float out to sea.
An iceberg is composed of fresh wa-
ter, frozen. A floeberg is frozen salt
water.
The crew of the steamer Andros-
coggin, of the United States coast
guard, experimented in blowing up !
icebergs with shells and mines, but
both attempts failed. The shells mere-
ly made white spots, and were shat-
tered, while there was nothing that
the mines could be attached to to do
damage. In addition ships could not
come close enough to the bergs with-
out danger from the floating moun-
tains to make careful investigation
for the placing of the mines.

SOLDIERS SEE GIANT CLOCK
Massive Timepiece in House of Com- |
mons Tower, Regarded as One of
World's Best Timekeepers.
Fifty disabled soldiers, many of
whom had lost a leg in the war and |
wore an artificial one in its place,
climbed the 360 steps of the House
of Commons tower in London to study |
the mechanism of “Big Ben,” the
giant timepiece. The soldiers are being |
trained by the ministry of labor in
watch and clock repairing.
A guide told the party that the
clock was designed by Lord Grim-
thorp, and was placed in the tower
in 1895. It has been working ever
since, and is still regarded as one of
the best timekeepers in the world. The
minute hand is 14 feet long and |
weighs 224 pounds, and the pendu- |
lum, which requires two seconds to |
complete each swing, weighs 700 |
pounds. The bell which sounds the |
hours has a diameter of nine feet,
and weighs 14 tons, the weight of the
striking hammer being 766 pounds.
An electric motor now winds the clock
in 20 minutes. Formerly it took two
men working three afternoons a week |
to complete the task.

FORGOT HE CHANGED HIS HAT
Aged Restaurant Patron Makes Search |
for Straw Toppiece, But Finds
Own Derby.
i
Nice old gentleman in the restau-|
rant, with a long line of hat trees,
running down the center. His dinner
finished, he picked up his check and
turned to the hat tree back of him
and took down his hat, or the hat he
had no doubt was his, but when from
force of habit he looked inside of it
to make sure he found that it wasn’t
his hat at all!
So he put that hat back on the tree
and tried the next most likely one,
but with the same result, and it was
the same with all the hats on the
tree, which he looked into one by one
until he had looked into all excepting
a black derby, which he did not in-
spect, for what he was looking for was
a straw.
But then, to leave no stone un-
turned: he took down that black derby
and looked into it; and, good gra-
cious! that was the hat he was really
looking for; that black derby hat he
was now looking into was his very
own.
He smiled as he put it on. He had |
changed that morning from straw to,
felt and then had forgotten all about!

PITCAIRN ISLAND IS LONELY
Natives -Occupying Spot, Peopled by
About 150, Have Degenerated
Through Intermarriage.
Home is where the heart is, but the |
heart picks out some most unusual |
locations at times. Rather near, as}
Pacific ocean distances go, to the So-|
clety Islands, Is Pitcairn island. Tt is |
certainly a lonesome spot, says the |
New York Sun, and as far back as
1856 the British authorities decided |
that it was no fit place for human |
habitation. So, the descendants of the |
mutineers of the “Bounty” who had |
settled there in 1790 were transferred
that year to the more inviting Norfolk
island. Several families, however,
were so homesick that they went baek |
to Pitcairn. |
The population from these few fam- |
ilies has now increased until about 150 |
people are on the island. Through in- i
termarriage and other evils of isola- |
tion these islanders have degenerated |
and their retrogression undoubtedly |
will end in their extermination.
Phonograph Repeats Record. |
When the needle comes to the end |
of its travel and the music ceases the:
owner of a phonograph equipped with
a new attachment, says Popular
Mechanics magazine, takes no heed,
and a moment later the machine is
playing the same air over again. |
This interesting result is achieved by |
means of a metal arm pivoted at a
point outside the turntable, its inner
end resting upon the projecting tip of
the spindle. At the end ef the record
the traveling sound box engages =o
trigger which actuates a vertical
screw, and the metal arm rises, lift
ing the needle from the record. Ths
! sound box slides back along the in-
clined arm to its starting position,
the descending arm replaces the needle
accurately in the outer groove, and the
music goes on.
Wealth in Waste.
The foundation of some of the most
prosperous corporations were laid in
utilization of what was formerly
waste. The field is still open to the
southern pine lumbermen. The annual
cut averages 15,000,000000 feet,
board measure, and for one foot that
goes to the lumber piles two go to
waste. Chemists would say this was
not waste, but wasted raw material
for vast quantities of paper, twine,
bags, pulp boards, turpentine, rosin,
pine oil, charcoal, tar, varnish, ethyl
alcohol and acetic acid. Yet lumber-
men throw away this great source of
wealth and complain of the high cost
of producing lumber.—Wall Street
Journal.
Myriad of Snowballs.
A singular phenomenon, reported to
science by L. BE. Woodman, was wit-,
nessed last March around Bangor aud’
Orono, Maine. A four-inch fall of
| snow was followed by high wind, and
| occasional gusts caught up large flakes
and rolled them over in the damp top
layer, forming a myriad of snowballs
| from two inches to nearly two feet in
The triangular trail of one
The balls were’
largest on downward slopes, and a
measured one had a horizontal diam-
eter of 20 inches and a vertical diam-

Nathaniel Hawthorne's handwriting
was so illegible that some of his manu-
scripts remained unpublished because
nobody could read them. This was
likewise true of Carlyle. The story
is told of a type compositor who was |
employed by a London printing office |
because of a strong recommendation
brought from Scotland. The first piece
of manuscript given him to set was
by Carlyle.
“My God!” sald the new typesetter.
“Have you got that man here too? 1
fled from Scotland to avold him!" |

MAHUA TREE GR
Bésasem Produced, When Sun Dried,
Contains 60 Per Cent of Its Weight
in Fermentable Sugar.
Alcohol in these days has attention
government In diverse ways.
England has had a committee studying
the possibilities of increasing the pro-
dection of alcohol to be used in gen-
' erating power.
The opportunities discussed by the
cemmittee are interesting. Of course,
potatoes, artichokes and cereals came
in for attention. But it seems there
are less known sources of alcohol. For
example, there is the flower of the
mahua tree, which flourishes in Hyder-
abad and the central part of India.
This flower, when sun dried, contains
60 per cent of its weight in ferment-
able sugar, and apparently is to be
gathered by the ton. Then there are
the fertile gases of the coke ovens.
They are so rich in surprises to the
everyday man that it is not very
startling to learn they contain ethyl-
ene, which by synthetic processes
somewhat developed under the stress
of war may be converted into ethyl
alcohol.
With the coal beds about to pro-
duce alcohol, and the trees of India
fairly blossoming with it, the man with
a motorcar may quiet the fears arous-
ed by the scientists’ figures which
show that we are within sight of the
end of petroleum and gasoline. There
is nothing like being easy in one's
mind.—The Nation's Business.
REMEDIES OF THE DAYS PAST
Plants, Berries, Weeds and Roots
Among Ancient Remedies Used
for Cure of Ailments.
Quaint malady remedies of the past,
many of which led to wealth on the
part of the inventors, were nearly all
made of berry plants and many of
common weeds. Pokeberries, years
ago, were used to make plaster for
a cancer, and grapevine sap was pre-
pared for hair tonics. To produce a
sweat, tea was made from magnolia
leaves and the berry of this plant was
often mentioned as a cure for con-
sumption.
For toothache, the veteran prac
titioner used the bayberry root. Ber-
res of the cedar tree were supposed
to stiffen the spine, and a purge was
mad: of alder buds or of elderberries.
The goldenrod, the mullein plant, the
burdock, and common weeds were also
held forth as cures for various all-
ments.
“Puscarora rice,” invented by a Phil-
adelphia woman, and held forth as a
cure for tuberculosis, enabled the prac-
titioner to secure a fortune for her-
self. It was nothing more than hom-
iny made from Indian corn. w*
To Extinguish Fires in Coal Mines.
The mud-jet seems to have been
found especially adapted to extinguish-
ing fires in coal mines, but it is liable
to be inefficiently applied. A recent
‘{nvestigation shows that lime and clay
should be included in the mud. The
usual success of the mud-jet in con-
trolling fire is largely due to the ac-
ton of these cement materials in con-
solidating loose particles, and closing
gas-emitting openings by forming a
cake over them. The refuse dust from
the cleaning of blast-furnace gas, boil-
' er ash, sifted earth, and even combus-
tible products like the refuse of coal-
washing, may make up the bulk of the
mud. A tank of mud with gravity
discharge is suggested as the ordinary
fire-fighting plant, though steam or
compressed air may be used.
Advance of Japanese Women.
Japan is making remarkable prog-
ness in all lines of industry and in the
development of modern ideas and
thought, declared an officer of
the Young Women's Christian asso-
ciation, who returned from the Flowery
Kingdom a short time ago.
Particularly Interesting she sald, is
the changed attitude toward the Jap-
anese woman who is now being ad-
mitted to the big universities in Japan
and given a treedom to develop her-
self along educational lines that has
heretofore been rigidly denied her.
“This new attitude toward the
Japanese woman is the most revolu-
tionary thing in the change of thought
and serves to illustrate the progress
that is being made.
Shoes Worth More Than Pigs.
A shoe manufacturer, so this story
in told, raises pigs on the side. He sold
one the other day. He got $90 for it.
The buyer paid him 22 cents a pound
tar it, and it weighed over 400 pounds.
“A good price you got for that pig,”
remarked a friend.
“Not so very much so,” replied the
shoe manufacturer.
“Well, $90 for 'one pig looks like a
good price to me,” answered the
critic. “It is more than you get for
shoes.”
“That is not 80,” responded the
manufacturer. “I sell my shoes at the
rate of $5 a pound, and for 400 pounds
of shoes, I would get $2,000. So, you
see, shoes are worth a lot more than
pigs.”—Brockton Enterprise.
Canned Music Lures Seals.
Seal hunters of the Pacific are said |
to be meeting with great success
through the use of the phonograph in
luring seals to their death. A large
instrument is employed and is set up
pear the rendezvous of the seals.
They gather in the vicinity and re-
main with their heads out of the
water listening to: the music, thus
giving the ' hunters opportunities iv
ghoot them.—Fishing Gazette.
A ET RR TR
WS ALCOHOL SORCERY GRIPS THE ALASKAN
———
Natives Formerly Implicitly Belleveo
in Words and Actions of
the Shaman.
Shamanism, or superstition and sor
cery, always has played an importint
part in the life of the Alaskan native,
says the Chicago Evening Post. Se
implicitly did the Alaskan of not many
years ago believe in the words and
actions of the shaman that a whole
tribe would go hungry rather than in-
cur his displeasure by eating foods he
had tabooed.
The Shaman attained his position
and power by unusual methods. By
fasting and prayer amid the solitudes
of the woods or mountains, where he
fed only on grasses and roots, he pre-
pared himself to become a shaman. By
this method it was believed the car-
didate’s body became sufficiently puri
fied to become the abiding place of
spirits. ; 5
Usually the spirit, willing to abide
with the shaman, sent the novitiate
a land otter, which the candidate
killed, the otter’s tongue to be pre-
served as a tallsman away from hu-
man view. for should it be seen it was
believed shaman would go insane or
be turned into the animal from which
the tongue was taken.
Thus the land otter was regarded
as too sacred to be killed by other
than shamans.
LOCATIONS OF VOLCANOES
Eruptions Come From Weak Spots on
Earth's Crust—Areas Divided in
Four Groups.
Volcanoes are located on the weak
spots in the earth's crust, scientists
say, according to a writer in Leslie's
Weekly. These areas are in the ocean
basins, the lands bordering these ba-
sins, or mountains which flank or con-
struct outlines of continents. These
areas are divided into four groups.
viz.:
lowing the Andes of South America,
the lesser Antilles, Central America,
and Mexico, the west coast of North
America, Kamchatka, the Japanese
Islands, the Philippines, and Sunda
Sea Islands, New Zealand and Victoria
land, in the Antaretic; (2) the Medi
terranean-Caspian region; (3) Atlan-
tic region, including the volcanoes of
Iceland and the Azores; (4) the Pa-
cific region, with volcanoes in Polyne-
sia, Hawaiian and other islands. Just
why these parts of the earth’s crust
should be the weak spots has not been
convincingly explained.
Apiary Adjunct of the Hospital.
The curious idea of making the
apiary an adjunct of the hospital has
been suggested. The sting of the bee
has long been popularly regarded as a
cure for rheumatism, and a British
beekeeper has now announced that if
fs an almost infallible test of the
safety of administering anesthetics.
The keeping of the bees. therefore.
may become necessary as a means of
deciding whether surgical operations
in certain cases may be performed. I?
a patient suffers from nervous weak-
ness, a bee sting on the hand may
cause a large swelling and affect the
glands of the body, and operation is
then unsafe.
Finland and Australia.
Finland has discovered Australia,
and it is hoped, observes an exchange.
that the commonwealth will soon rec-
ognize commercially the enterprising
new republic. Trade relations with
Australia are being sought, and Fin-
land will be glad to exchange cream
separators and safety matches, paper
pulp and timber for a little of Aus-
tralia’s surplus meat and wheat. The
consul of the new republic has es-
tablished his headquarters in Sydney,
New South Wales, and has already ob-
tained excellent publicity. Finland
must surely have been studying Amer-
fcan methods of production.
Masts Made by Machine.
A machine has been built which wilt
shape masts up to 100 feet in length
and three feet in diameter. The tim-
ber is set up in the machine and re
volved at a speed of 50 revolutions
a minute, and it is shaped by a cutter
head which is electrically driven at
the rate of 700 revolutions a minute.
This cutter head is mounted on &
carriage, which is moved along the
timber against a rail set to give tke
proper profile to the mast. Heretofore
this work has been done by hand and
required skilled workmen. At best it
has been a slow and laborious task,
Promising Invention.
Those of us who love to wear deli
cate fabrics, like laces, ruchings, or-
gandies and chiffons, will be very glad
if an alleged invention to render such
stuffs moisture-proof shall be success-
ful. Some of us have had a heap of
trouble with ruchings in our sport
shirts. They haven't remained nice
and fresh more than four days when
the tennis and golf have been good.
If now they may be rendered mois-
ture-proof we shall be as happy as the
man with the celluloid collar, and
exertion will have no terrors for us.—

LAUGHED AT REAL HEROISM
Soldier Insists Authorities Conferred
Decoration for Deed That Was
Merely Second Rate.
He had come back with the croix de
guerre, but he would not talk about
how he won it. Of course his family
and friends knew the formal citation,
put they wanted him to tell them the
details, and he modestly and persist-
ently evaded them.
«I think it's simply silly,” declared
an irate cousin in her teens. “What's
the use of ducking and dodging, and
pretending you're not a hero, when
you know perfectly well you are?”
The worm turned. “Yes, of course 1
know I am,” he assented coolly. “The
trouble is, they didn’t give me my
cross for the right thing. Do you ex-
pect a fellow to talk about his heroism
when he gets a decoration for doing
what lots of other fellows did who
weren't lucky enough to be noticed,
and then finds the bravest thing he
ever did, or ever expects to do, treated
lightly or ignored altogether? At least,
I was a hero once. Before we were
ordered abroad, I was invited to lunch- |
eon by my colonel’s daughter. Now,
you know I am a country boy from an
inland state. It was the first luncheon
rd ever attended—and the first time
I'd ever been served raw oysters. I
hate shellfish, and when I saw those
six, soft, slimy, slithery horrors set be-
fore me I nearly fainted. But I didn’t
know whether anything much was to
follow or not; and I couldn't decline
a main dish under the eye of my
hostess. I shuddered with disgust. I
wasn’t sure they would go down; 1
feared they might come up. But—I1
ate those oysters, all six, and smiled
as I ate them! She told me so two
years afterward, when I confessed.
Now, I call that true heroism. But it
wasn’t what I got the cross for.”
“Maybe,” said the saucy young
thing in her teens, “it’s that you're go-
ing to get the girl for.”
“No,” sighed the unappreciated
hero, “she agrees with the rest of you
and General Mangin. She only laughs
at my real claim to glory 1”—Youth’s
Companion.
NEW SOURCE OF TURPENTINE
Tree in Central india to Be Looked
To for Supply of Really
Good Quality.
i
Turpentine oil and rosin are already
being produced on a commercial scale
in India by the distillation of pine
rosin. A new source of supply which,
though comparatively small, may be
valuable, especially for Indian use, has
now been found in frankincense or
olibanum. This material is obtained
by the natives by making incisions in
the stems of Boswellia serrata, a tree
widely distributed throughout the dry
zone forests of Central India. The
resinous substance which exudes from
the cuts contains a kind of turpentine,
a rosin and a gum.
Investigations of the methods of sep-
arating these constituents in a market-
able form have been conducted since
1912 by the forest authorities in India
in co-operation with the Imperial in-
stitute, and the results have been pub-
lished recently in a paper by R. S.
Pearson, forest economist, and Puran
Singh, chemical adviser, at the Forest
Research institute, Dehra Dun. The
general conclusion reached, based on
the results of numerous trials, is that
the turpentine oil is equal to good
quality American turpentine oil.

Abyssinian Likes American Styles.
«I would like to see Abyssinian wom-
en dress like American women,” is a
remark credited to Prince Nadoa, the
head of the Abyssinian mission in this
country. This may be merely a bit
of oriental flattery or it may be an
indication of the prince's bravery. It
should be remembered, first, that the
sovereign of Abyssinia is a woman, and
a descendant of the queen whose ele
gance and beauty of costume dazzled
King Solomon's court, and in the next
place that in Abyssinia style does not
change more than once every thou-
sand years, and that for that length
of time the life of a man is free from
all pecuniary worries incident to
changing fashions and new dresses.
Without any intention of forecasting
trouble for the prince, it might be
suggested that if this story should
precede him he will have some ex-
planations to make either to the queen
or to the husbands and fathers of
Abyssinia.

he would refrain from drinking for
