You may think this Is Il very silly
question to ask, but Is It? There Is
no catch about 1t. 1t is n simple. de-
mons,.able fact which you can prove

the center, or you may do It. but II
you will think Of something and en-.
deavor to walk naturally 1t Is 100 to !
you cannot keep direct line.
The explanation Of this lies In tire
popularity Of one foot to walk faster
than the other. Or, to be more cor.
rect. perhaps It should be said that
one leg takes Il longer stride than the
other. and this. combined with the
quicker movement. causes one to walk
more to one side than the other.
1t IL well known. for instance. that

ency Is to walk In II circle and even.
tually to return about to the starting
point. This demonstrates the fact also
that one foot walks faster than the
other.
You can try an interesting expert.

two stakes In the lawn about eight
feet apart and then stand off about
60 feet from them. allow yourself to
be blindfolded and endeavor to walk
between them. You will find 1t an nj.
most impossible task because one foot
will go a bit faster than the other,
either to the right or left. Now.

Lexel d Of a Drug,

Chinese herbs usually have some
legend connected with them to illus
trate their virtues. and this IL the story
connected with the "Haw" herb: Haw
Show Woo was a very good, very de.
vout hnd very old man. One day he
was accused Of stealing the affections
Of his brothers wife and was sent to
prison for trial. He became very hun.
cry and prayed to the gods as became
a man of his great piety. During the
night bush sprang up through the
floor Of his dungeon. and In the morn
Ing the famished man ate the leaves.
Days went by while he was waiting
for his trial. and he continued to piece
out his scanty diet with the leaves OF
the bush. When he was taken into
court for trial the officers exclaimed:
This is not the man who was arrest
ed and confined In the cell. The cul'
prit IL m old man; this is a young
man."
Sure enough Haw had become a
young man to all appearances again.
He was innocent of the charge against
him. and when released by the judge
Haw told him the story OF the little
plant that had grown up In his cell
and how he had eaten the leaves.
The officials dug up the shrub and
presented 1t to the emperor His fami.
~ for many years was the only one
that had the privilege Of eating the
sacred leaves. But as time passed
slips were cut from 1t and sent through
