Painless Burning.

ST have never been able to under
stand" said DR.. G. T.. Glenarm of
Denver, why it is that the pain result
ing from burn with redhot iron is so
much greater than when the flesh is
touched with an iron at white heat,
but have seen the experiment demon
strated SO many times that know it to
be fact. Whenever it becomes neces-
sary for me il my practice to cauterize
a wound I a1n always careful that the
iron apply shall be of an intense white
heat, and in the great majority of cases
the patient always said that there was
absolutely no pain felt. while if the
iron should simply have been redhot
the effect would have been agonizing.
This applies to animals as well as man.
once saw a veterinary surgeon apply a
white heated iron to the shoulder of a
horse. The animal never WINGED under
the operation and seemed hardly con-
scious of what was done to him. ''-St.

"Pi1lar of the Center of Population"

The limestone monument bearing the
title used as headline is located in De-
catur county, Ind. The center of the pop
ulation in the United States, as located
by the census of 1890, is i'll the above
named county, 20 miles east of Column
bus, one Of the cities of Hoosierdom.
This is the second time in the history
of our country that the center of popula-
ton has been indicated by marking it
with monument. The first was the
spot located by the census Of 1910. The
monument, which may still be seen,
is simply fiat stone imbedded i'll the
soil 40 miles northwest of Washington,
bearing these three words, Center of

Childhood Sayings Of an Empress.

The Empress Frederick must have
been q deliciously naughty child if all
the stories told Of her Juvenile days are
true. Everybody knows the "Good
Night, Brown story. but here are a
few others not quite SO familiar:
Walking one day in Windsor forest
with her daily governess, the princess,
then 8 years old, showed o good deal of
rather naughty temper. Look" said
the gOverness, cat that very nice little
girl over there. How good she is! How
quiet'' 81 dare say she may be, " re-
torted the little princess; "but, then, /
also see she has no daily governessp'
''Shall we meet every one we know in
heaven?" she asked another time. ooh
yes, my DEAR was the reply. ''Sure

Chances of Death In Battle.

At the battle of Solferino according
to M. Cassendi's carefully deduced cal
Culations, a comparison of the number
of shots fired on the Austrian side with
the number of killed and wounded on
the part Of the enemy shows that 700
bullets were expended for every man
wounded and 4, 200 for each man killed!
The average weight of the ball used
was 80 grains; therefore it must have
taken at least 1876 Kilograms or 227
pounds Of lead for every man put out of
the way. Yet Solferino has gone into
history as most important and bloody
engagement.

postponed s0ao two or three times at his

Again Mr. CoToy asked fer postpone

Then tie judge got on his dignity and
