Told of a RnYai Lad.

A writer in London Telegraph tells the following story about the king of Spain as throwing light on that royal lads life: "One day. during his history lesson. the king asked his professor to tell him how Spain came to lose Chile. Mexico and other Spanish-Ameriean colonies. The story was narrated so thrillingly and artistieally that the roya. boy listened spellbound and con- tinued after 1t had ended to sit ab- sorbed in meditation. At last thought having struck him. he looked up to his professor and inquired: What must I do in order to get back these countries for Spaln?' The first and most im- portant thing of all,' replied the eau tious and diplomatic pedagegue, is that your majesty should-should- grow up to be man. When you are . man Fl m!' muttered the lad, disen- chanted. 'wben I'm a man it is not a history professors advice that I shall be asking. I shall have prime min- ister to tell me then"

Household Implement Breeding Place
 for Bacteria.
 '1 he broom ordinarily is a fertile breeding place for bacteria, and should merit the interest and earnest consid- eration. not only of all good house. wives. but of everyone who is interest ed in the health of the family, and the maintenance of the strictest hygienic and sanitary conditions. It Is not generally known that the ordinary broom is the habitation or breeding place of great colonies of bacteria and unsanitary germs. La grippe, small poK and scarlet fever have been traced directly to this household article--the ordinary broom" It Is an interesting coincidence that almost simultaneous ly with this article Georgia inventor announces that he has invented a san- itary broom. This broom is furnished with what it's inventor calls retain CT" which contains antiseptics. The retainer is incorporated in the part of the broom nearest the handle and Is shaped somewhat like an incandescent light bulb: it is concealed by the broom straws and is held In place by transverse rows of stitching. The penetration of the retainer opens up numerous small outlets. which, acting together with the meshes. allow a gradual emulation of the antiseptio influence in their descent along and dissemination through the straws, in- suring by the acts of sweeping tha thorough disinfection of carpets. and a perfect deodorizer of apartments Scientific American.

Mohammedan Women Medical Patients

On those rare occasions when the aid pf the European physician is sought for a female member of any Moham- medan family of distinction, the only part of the patient which the doctor is permitted to see is the hand, which is thrust for that purpose through a small opening in a curtain. This has had the effect of making medical men able to give fairly respectable diag- noses based upon the sight of the hand alone.

History In Knotted Cords.

Tying knots in the handkerchief to jog ones memory had it's origin in China thousands of years ago. Be- fore writing was invented in that coun- try, which did not happen until 5000 B. C., memorable and important events were recorded by long knotted cords. The most ancient history of China Is still preserved as told by these knots. When Emperor Tschang Ki invented writing, the entire system of knotting was abandoned. And today the mem- ory knots made by us in handker- chiefs are the only surviving descend- ants of that ancient and curious cus~ tom.
