Hear what great scientist writes
More than half a million people
die every year from diseases that
are called preventable or filth or
germ diseases. They are so called
because they could be prevented.
They are derived from filth and
they are caused by germs.
The lax sanitation Of the great
cities of America causes pollution of
the water, soil and air of the land.
People drink polluted water, breathe
polluted air and live on polluted
soils. AS a consequence they are
poisoned. The instructive remedy
appears to be alcohol. Sewer gas
and the general products of the pu-
trefaction of dead organic matter
poison the blood, depress the spirits,
weaken the appetite and digestion,
and the people drink alcohol.
Il believe the great cause Of learn
ing to drink is sickness and poor
sanitation and that is what makes
prohibitory laws difficult or impos-
sible. The way TO secure prohibition

Poulett Weatherby, the only English

and little incidental map making and
correcting, will evidently write an in
teresting book as soon as he returns to

he is himself it's hero, and occasional
letters from him that reach his friends
in London show that he is having lot
of fun. One written in January from

one of them, however, and leaving ten
men outside went in with six. Leav-

strict orders that they were not to come
near me, walked up to Mewenge (who
was dirty ash color and whose heart I
could see beating like sledge hammer)

Mewenge. Where am I standing? In
the middle of your men, and I have no

am not afraid of you. If you want war
you can have it. Well, proceedings
terminated peacefully, to cut the matter
short, and after that we became great

Why an African monarch should be

Got Rich on Frogs.

Though there may be no frog farms
in Maine there was at least one Maine
man who got rich by selling frogs legs
to Boston and New York hotels. His
name was Weld, and he lived in the
town of Greenbush, on the east bank Of
the Penobscot river, some % miles
north of Bangor. Though a blacksmith
and an axmaker by trade, he made his
fortune out of frogs. His custom was to
provide the boys in his neighborhood
with small dip nets and send them out
to the boys and swamps Of Greenbush,
Milford, Greenfield and Olamon. For
graybellies and greenbellies he paid the
boys cents dozen, and when they
brought in dozen of golden throated
bullfrogs he gave them cent for every
frog. In this way he paid out money to
the boys and made money for himself
for about 90 years, and when he died,
about ! $50, his estate was appraised at
$112, 900. After the death of Weld his
nephews and nieces proceeded to divide
the property, and as they were well off
and did not need to work the frog CATCH
ing industry was abandoned. - New

A certain Greek adventurer some
years ago undertook to palm off upon
the public some false copies of the Cos
pei manuscripts. Many learned men
were deceived, but not DR.. Coke, libra
rian of the Bodleian library at Oxford.
How he detected the fraud is related in
his, own words in The Spectator:
I never really opened the book, but
held it in my hand and took one page
of it between my finger and thumb
while listened to the rascal's account
Of how he found this most interesting
antiquity.

handed it back to him with the short
comment, Nineteenth century paper,

The Comfort and Healthfulness of Woven
Straw Sandals. p.

The Comfort and Healthfulness of Woven
Straw Sandals.
81 may seem to be quarreling with
my bread and butter" Ian up town
chiropodist to one of his best customers
the other day, Shut in my humble and
somewhat professional opinion, the most
sensible of all men in the matter of foot
wear is the Chinaman. Did you ever
notice his feet? I don't believe there is
such a thing as corn or bunion in
all China Chiropodists would starve
to death there so far as the requirements
of the masculine foot are concerned.
Whatever the deformities inflicted on
the feet Of women in China may be- the
men certainly enjoy sound and comfort
able understandings Look at the Chi
nese laundrymen here in Washington.
They stand at their work Is hours a
day. No class of workingmen I know of
spend so many hours on their feet as
they do. Yet they never break down
there, and, physically, they are a won
derfully healthy race.
''Simple living and freedom from the
nervous pursuits of our civilization may
have something to do with it, but I at
tribute their exemption from foot weak
ness and disease to the kind of house
shoe so universally worn by them. /
have pair that I have worn for several
years, and I wouldn't wear anything
else for genuine indoor comfort. They
are woven of straw and seaweed and
soled with horse hide. There is a thick
sole of straw above the leather, and
through this the air can circulate free
ly, keeping the muscles OF the under
part of the foot always cool. The laun-
lrymen, you notice, are usually bare
foot, which is an added advantage in
the matter of healthfulness. There is
about as little material in the uppers as
is consistent with the idea of a shoe,
and this is just enough to keep the
thing on the foot. This upper, too, is
woven loosely of seaweed, so that the air
can have access to the foot. Nowhere
does this shoe pinch Or in the least de-
gree press the foot.
"These are the indoor shoes of the
Chinaman. On the street here in the
United States nowadays he wears very
commonly the leather shoes or boots OF
American manufacture. That is one of
the ways in which he is becoming
Americenized. But the outdoor cloth
shoe of China is great deal worn also.
That, like the indoor shoe, is very thick
and soft in the sole, and the foot is
never pinched, or strained by it. The
healthiest footgear ever known proba-
bly, was the sandal of the Greeks. It
had no upper, and, as you will see in
statuary, the feet of men and women
were ideally perfect. All the sandal af-
forde:a. was protection from the ground.
TO rim who wears sandals, say the
Arabs, it is as if the world were shod
with leather The Chinaman seems to
follow cut this motto, and his shoes are
nearly soles and nothing more. But the
great secret of the excellence of his in
door shoe is the half inch straw sole. "
