In the Grave.

The st. Louis Post Dispatch has dis
covered the sad fact that American
humorists, like precocious children, have
decayed, retired, gone up, and quite
ceased to be interesting:
Come and weep with us, dear reader,
over the grave of American humor. It
is gone. 1t Is busted and dead like q
cockroach flattened in the family Bible.
Gather about US. weeping friends, willis
VIC drive the cold cruel screw into the
coffin lid of busted American mirth.
Pour into the open grave your scalding
weep. America hasn't to-day humor-
list that she can lay her jaws to. Noone
can regret this any more than we do,
not because 1t hurts our trade any, for it
does not. II we had q man on this pa
per who claimed to be o humorist, we
would squat him into q Heterogeneous
mass and use him for paper weight.
But we have two or three journalistic
friends who had fooled US into the de-
fusion that they were inclined to be
facetious, and without thinking about it
much we have laughed good deal over
their printed remarks. It win 60 hard
with such men to be laid aside that way
and stood up behind the door like an
old umbrella They will be out of q
job and hard up for awhile until they
can get some wood to saw. Such men
as Mark Twain and Josh Billings are
left in their old age with only about
5000, 900 apiece, and Peck and Sweet
and those mon, together with G. B.
Lewis and Bob Burdette and Eugene
Field, will probably have to tramp it
over the country. All these men are
making money hand over fist. and they
are making it out of four or five million
people who haven't the necessary men,
tai acumen to drop to the never-dying
truth that they are being bamboozled by
. half dozen men who don't know o
joke from blue pill-Biu Nye in
Boomerang.

Heating Rooms.

A fact not generally known is stated
by furnace manufacturer, and people
who are setting up stoves may perhaps
profit by it. The furnace man says that
the heat passes readily in house from
north to south or from northwest to south
east, while only under the most favor
able circumstances will it take the op-
posite direction. fyou have a stove in
q room on the southside of your house,
you will not be able in cold weather to
heat an adjoining room to the north of
it, no matter how good your stove may
be, while an able-bodied stove in the
north room will heat both of them
Then the idea is that the heat follows
the course of the wind outside, and the
prevailing winds in New England are
northwesters. The fact rs to heat is
one we have never seen stated before,
but those who have had experience will
generally confirm it.

Coffee in Typhoid Fever.

DR.. Guillasse, of the French navy, in
a recent paper on typhoid fever, says:
"Coffee has given US unhoped for salts
faction; after having dispensed it, we
find, to our great surprise, that its ac-
ton is as prompt as it Is decisive. No
sooner have our patients taken few
tablespoonfuls Of it than their features
became relaxed and they come to their
senses. The next day the improvement
is such that they are tempted to look
upon coffee as a specific against typhoid
fever. Under its influence the stupor is
dispelled. and the patient rouses from
the state Of somnolency in which he has
been since the invasion of the disease;
all the functions take their natural
course, and he enters upon GONZALES
cence." DR.. Guillasse gives an adult
two or three tablespoonfuls of strong
black coffee every two hours, alternated
with one or two tablespoonfuls of claret
or Burgundy wine. A little lemonade
or citrate of magnesia should be taken
daily, and after awhile quinine. From
the fact that malaise and cerebral symp-
toms appear first, the doctor regards
typhoid fever as nervous disease, and
the coffee acting on the nerves is pecu-
liarly indicated in the early stages before
local complications arise.

Too Much Oscillation.

At an evening party in Kelkeim, in
Germany, few weeks ago, says the
New York Sun, the question arose how
many kisses could be exchanged be-
tween two lovers within certain space
of time. A youth offered to bet any
body present $50 that he and his be-
trothed would kiss one another 10000
times within ten hours, provided they
were permitted topartake of some slight
refreshment at intervals of half IN hour
during the performance. His wager
having been accepted, the aflianced
couple addressed themselves to the
achievement of the task. At the eXpi-
ration of the first hour their account
stood accredited with 1000 kisses. Dur
ing the second they added another 200,
and during the third $50 to that num-
Der. Then they both broke down. The
Youths lips were stricken with cramp
and the maiden tainted away. Later in
the evening she was compelled to take
to her bed with sharp attack of neu-
ralgia. An even more distressing re-
suit cnsued, for it lei to the breaking
of, by mutual consent, of the matri-
mOnial engagement.

How Pat Got the Mitten.

The average Irishman is often comic,
but Is rarely pathetic, and is quite likely
to be comical when he attempts to be
pathetic. Mr.. Nathaniel Bishop, during
his voyage to Buenos Ayres, made
friends with the ships cook, who was a
sentimental Irishman. Besides this, he
was q character" in his way, and kept
dialogue he called his diary
in which he occasionally wrote ''poe-
thry." One day, to draw him out, Mr..
Bishop said to him, ut Is strange that
a man so full of feeling and poetry as
you are, should never have been entan.

New Street Trick.

New Haven young men have a queer
idea of fun. Monday evening Mr..
Rowland was passing along Court street
when two young men standing at either
edge of the sidewalk called out: ':Look

stepped high over the supposed obstruc-
ton and passed on. An hour later he
returned that way and saw tho same
trick played on Others. The lady pass
ers were really victimizcd and stepped

Animal I,onpevitv.

hulIudi AOuS0NlGys
A tortoise which died in the bishop of
Peterborough's garden, in 1921, was
more than two hundred and twenty
years of age, and one belonging to
Archbishop Laud died from neglect at
the age of one hundred and twenty
eight years. AS to fishes, the pike has
been said to live two hundred and sixty
seven years. and the carp for two hun
dred years. 1t is highly probable that
the gigantic salamander may live for
greatly prolonged period, and frogs and
toads are probably long lived animals,
small as is their relative size. A toad
has been kept for thirty-six years with
out showing signs of age. and then died
through an accident. Whales have been
supposed to live from three hundred to
four hundred years. The life of an ele-
plant is said to extend beyond one hum
dred years, but of this there seems as
yet to be no certain evidence. Birds, as
creatures at once so active and warm
blooded (and thus COMPRISING, rs it
were, much life into q small periOd),
might be expected to be short-lived. Yet
parrots have been known to live for up
ward of a century, and pelicans, geese
and crows may exceed the period COM
monty allotted to man. But however
commonly threescore years and ten may
be the term of human life, man can GER
taiply both live and retain his intellect
ual faculties more or less beyond ono
hundred years. Yet horse is general
ly old at thirty, and is not known ever
to have attained twice that age. The
life of sheep is of about fifteen years
duration, and that of dog from fifteen
to twenty, although allied animals are
much longer lived. Thus, the lion called
Pompey, which died in the Tower Of
London in 1760, had lived there for no
less than seventy years. Extremely
varied, then, is the duration Of the life
of individual organisms. Not less var
led are the relations to time of the races
and of different groups Of animals and
plants. Species, genera. Lies. or
ders, and classes of animals and plants,
differ extremely as to their period of du-
ration, some OF each of these groups APP
pearing to have been but short-lived
compared with other divisions of similar
rank.

An impure dolomite formation in
Shenandoah mine, Snake creek district,
Wasatch county Utah, Is remarkable
for its ''phosphorescent" property. This
mineral Is of a bright orange color, and
exhibits, under the microscope, beau
tiful crystalline structure. Pressure by
the fingers will readily reduce it to pow
der. When the miners struck their picks
into 1t, flashes Of light were produced so
strikingly vivid as to cause superstitious
alarm. and to suggest for 1t the ominous

ten ounce. ~ contemporary relates an
instance where the hair on lady's head
attained the measurement of two yards
in length. But its proper length for
texture and strength should not exceed
twenty-four inches, and its value as long
hair is much deprecated in price when
it falls shorter. 1t has been calculated
by Withof that the beard grows at the
rate of line and a half per week, which
gives length of six inches and half in
the course Of year, while for man OF
eighty years of age, twenty-seven feet
would have fallen before the razor. The

Catching Cranes with a Hook.

On recent trip to Lee county, Ga,
we saw some novel fishing done. 1t
was in lake or pond which abounded
in small fish, and which was constantly
visited by flocks of cranes for the pur-
pose of feeding on its finny treasures. A
nondescript little darkey was engineer
ing the scheme, and in an easy way &C
complishing a feat otherwise difficult for
practical nimrod to do. He did the
work in this way: Putting live roach
on hook near the shallow water, he
would retire to safe distance and await
results; the birds would return, and
very soon one would make for the fish
and swallow it, after which it was east
ly taken.-Anericus Recorder.

The Union army in 1862 encamped
on the north bank Of the Rappahannock.
opposite what was to be the disastrous
field of Fredericksburg. On the bank
OF the river. in the extreme front of the
Union line. stood the house of Mrs.
Gray. a long. rambling stone building,
whose front Of three stories faced the
river. The roof sloped steeply toward
the rear, where the stone side was but
one story high. Mrs. Gray herself, an
elderly widow, had received the Union
advance with every demonstration of
welcome, and her house soon became o
