all handkerchiefs used by the patient
should be placed where they will not
be likely to be handled by other mem

tact with other clothing. When they
are washed they may be thoroughly
disinfected, freed from stains, and
whitened if first soaked in cold water
to which half-cupful of the best kero-

boiling water to the cold to heat it,
and with soap wash them out of this

The same illusion can be produced by

and the whole hand held stiff and in

The solution of this curious illusion

"PooR RICHARDS ALMANAC"
Benjamin Franklin's First Introduction to
Fame.

1t was "Poor Richards Almanac"
which first made Franklin famous, and
it was out of the mouth of Poor Rich
ard that Franklin spoke most effect
lively to his fellow-countrymen. He
had noticed that the almanac was
often the only book in many houses,
and he therefore "filled all the little
spaces that occurred between the re-
markable days in the calendar with
proverbial sentences, chiefly such as
inculcated industry and frugality as
the means of procuring wealth, and
thereby securing virtue; it being more
difficult for a man in want to act al
ways honestly, as, to use here one of
those proverbs 1t is hard for an empty
sack to stand upright'" BY these
pithy, pregnant sayings, carrying
their moral home, fit to be pondered
in the long winter evenings, Franklin
taught Americans to be thrifty, to be
forehanded, and to look for help only
from themselves. The rest of the al
manac was also interesting especially
the playful prefaccs; for Franklin was
the first of American humoritss, and to
this day he has not been surpassed in
his own line. The best of the proverbs
not original, all of them, but all sent
forth freshened and sharpened by
franklin S shrewd wit-he assembled
and formed into connected discourse,
prefixed to the almanac of 1857, as the
harangue of wise old man to the peo
pie attending an auction" Thus com
pacted, the scattered counsels sped ur
and down the Atlantic coast, being
copied into all the newspapers. The
wise Speech of Father Abraham"
also travelled across the ocean and was
reprinted in England as broadside to
be stuck up in houses for daily guild.

1920. This is the story of the bell: At
the beginning of the last century the
only church bell at Grosslaswitz was
SO small that it's tones were not suffl'

master, Gottfried Hayn, was going to
church, he noticed growing out of the
ohurchyard wall flourishing green
stalk of corn, the seed of which must
have been dropped there by passing
bird. The idea suddenly struck him
that perhaps this one stalk of corn
could be made the means of producing
the second bell they wanted so much.
