Never thought of such a

Well, it's a good sign for
SCOTS Emulsion. The body
has to be repaired like other
things and SCOTS Emulsion is
the medicine that does it.
These poor bodies wear out
from worry, from over-work,
from disease. They get thin
and weak. Some of the new
ones are not we'll made-and
all of the old ones are racked

Cocoa. cacao and Coca.

Speaking of confusion in the use
of words" said a visitor to the city
from Nicaragua, 81 read a story
some time ago which was credited to
a physician, and l was impressed
with the belief that he was either
misquoted or that he had got slight
ly mixed in his botany. He was
talking about coca, cocaine, coco
cola and things Of that sort, and he
attempted to straighten out some
of the popular errors, but instead
of doing so he made matters worse.
"Now, am engaged in the busi-
ness of cacao planter near San
Carlos, and | believe | ought to
know something about the business.
Cacao is one thing, cocoa is another
and coca is still another. Cocoa is
the ordinary cocoanut. Cocoa is
not made from the seed of the
chocolate tree, but chocolate is
made from the seed of the cacao,
the broma cacao. 1t is a rather Gu
rious fact that this word cacao is
invariably spelled incorrectly in
nearly all advertisements. Any
good botanical dictionary will show
you the difference between cocoa,
the cocoanut palm; cacao, the
broma cacao, and coca, the cocaine
shrub. Yet these words are COM
monty confused and misspelled in
newspapers and other advertising
mediums, and the members Of the
medical profession, it seems, are not
exempt from the same mistakes.
They are separate things, with sepa-
rate properties, and have separate
uses" New Orleans Times-Demo-
crat.

Deep Freezing.

For many years scientists have
been perplexed over the phenome-
non of certain well at Yakutsk,
Siberia. AS long ago as 1928 a
Russian merchant began to sink
this noted well, and after working
on it for three years gave it up as
a bad job, having at that time sunk
it to depth of thirty feet without
getting through the frozen ground.
He communicated these facts to the
Russian Academy of Sciences, who
sent men to take charge of the dig
ging operation at the wonderful
well.
These scientific gentlemen toiled
away at their work for several years,
but at last abandoned it when a
depth of 3S2 feet had been reached,
with the earth still frozen as hard as
a rock. In 1874 the academy had
the temperature of the soil at the
sides of the well taken at various
depths. From the data thus OBJ
tanned they came to the startling
conclusion that the ground was
frozen to depth exceeding GOO
feet.

IN CASE or FIRE.
What to Do When a Persons Clothing
r.corncs lgnited.

Quick, Intelligent work is impera-
tive when a PERSONS clothing be-
comes ignitcd. Your first move
should be to get the person at
length upon the floor. The easiest
and safest way to accomplish this
is by tripping. Then roll him over
and over This alone will go a long
way toward smothering the flames,
but at the same time lay hold of a
rug, coat or anything thick with
which the operation can be more
speedily and effectually completed.
A pailful Of water will answer the
purpose, perhaps, but do not take
even ten seconds to obtain it. 1t is
of vital Importance that you make
use of the nearest means. Strive
to keep the flames away from the
upper half of the body, for that is
the most vulnerable portion of the
human anatomy.
Should your own clothing catch
fire it will require all of your cour-
age and training to enable you to
act nationally. The natural and al
most overpowering impulse is to
run. Don't; it only makes a bad
matter rapidly worse. Lie down at
once and roll yourself up in any
thing which will assist in smother
ing the flames. Fire has a strong
upward tendency, and it will soon
envelop your whole body if you re-
main on your feet. The danger of
your inhaling the flames is also
greatly increased and internal burns
are pretty uniformly fatal.
So far | have used the masculine
pronoun, but all of my directions
apply with even more force to the
women. 1t is sad fact that three
fourths of those who suffer from
burns belong to the fair sex. This
is attributable. in large measure,
to the innammable nature of their
dress.-Good Housekeeping.

The Sanse of Smell.

The eye is used only for seeing
and the ear for hearing, but the
nose is one of the organs that serve
double purpose. 1t is not only
the seat of the sense of smell, but
was intended to be the principal
organ through which man should
breathe. Its circuitous passages,
warm and moist, protect the lungs
by taking the chill from the in
spired air and arresting irritating
dust.
The whole nose is not concerned
in the act of smelling. The olfac-
tory nerves, which alone take cog
nizance of odors, are situated in the
upper third of the nasal chambers,
out of the line of ordinary inhala-
ton. For this reason we do not
usually notice odors unless they are
somewhat strong, but when we Whit
draw the air into the upper part
of the nostrils and hold it there for
a few moments-we become aware
of the faintest scent.

Making Sure Of His Honesty.

AS the daily train reached a Yer
mont village the other day an an
tique looking dame thrust her head
out of the window opposite the re-
freshment room and briefly said:
"Sonnyw
A bright looking boy came up to

"Can ! trust you to do an errand

looking steadily down on the manly
face. "Here is five cents to get me
an apple. Remember, God sees
you."~-Boston Caprier.

LOOSE MARRIAGE TIES.
The Mohan1medan Husband May
Break His at viii.

The Koran says the husband may
divorce his wife without assigning
any reason or giving any notice.
He may rebuke, imprison and
scourge her. He may twice divorce
and twice take back the same wom-
an, but if he third time divorce
her she cannot again become his
wife until she has married and been
divorced from some other man.
(Sura, II, 230.)
Yet Ibrahim Halebi says: "In
the absence of serious reasons no
Musselman can justify divorce in the
eyes Of either religion or the law. II
he abandon his wife, or put her
away from simple caprice, he draws
down upon himself the divine anger,
for the curse Of God,' said the
prophet, rests upon him who re-
pudiates his wife capriciously.'"
Practically, however, a Mohamme-
dan may whenever he pleases, with
out assigning any reason, say to his
wife, "Thou art divorced" and she
must then return to her parents.
amir Ali, Personal Law of Mo
hammedans, 332; Lane, Modern
Egyptians, l, $50, 247.)
Among most of the Mohammedan
peoples divorces are very frequent.
According to DR.. Van der Berg, an
: even more fatal influence is exer-
cised on family life in the east by
this laxity of the marriage tie than
by polygamy. In Cairo, according
to Lane, there are not many men
who have not divorced one wife if
they have been married for a long
time, and many men in Egypt have
in the course of two years married
as many as twenty, thirty or more
wives, while there are women ad-
vanced in age who have been wives
to dozen or more men successfully.
In Morocco a man repudiates his
wife on the slightest provocation
and marries again. Among the
Moors of the Sahara it is considered
Glow" for couple to live very long
together. (Westermarch, 519, 520.)
On the other hand, in India,
among the Mohammedans, divorce
is seldom heard of.-Green Bag.

A Train Problem.

1t is seldom, indeed, that the fol-
towing question is answered correct
ly offhand:
A train starts daily from San
Francisco to New York and one
daily from New York to San Fran
cisco, the journey lasting five days.
How many trains will a traveller
meet in journeying from New York
to San Francisco?
About ninety-nine persons out of
a hundred would say five trains, as a
matter of course. The fact is over
looked that every day during the
journey fresh train is starting
from the other end, while there are
five trains on the way to begin with.
Consequently the traveller will meet
not five trains, but ten.

Origin Of an Old Saying.

In the sixteenth century it was
generally stated that Spiders be
true signs of great stores of gold"
a saying which arose thus: While
passage to Cathay was being
sought by the northwest mariner
brought home a stone which was
announced to be gold, and caused
such ferment that several vessels
were fitted out for the express pur-
pose Of collecting the precious
metal. Frobisher in 1917 found on
one of the islands where he landed
similar stones and an enormous
number of spiders.-Cornhill Maga-
zine.

What an "Inch" of Rain Means.

Few people can form a definite
idea of what is involved in the ex-
preston, can inch of rain" 1t
may aid such to follow this curious
calculation. An acre is equal to
6,272,640 square inches. An inch
deep of water on this area will be
as many cubic inches of water,
which, at 227 to the gallon, is
$4,000 gallons. This immense
quantity of water will weigh $780,
600 pounds, or 100 tons. One-hun-
dredth of an inch alone is equal to
one ton of water to the acre.

Carlyle said that one Of the most

suit of leather. lie made it him
self. The man, the first of the
Friends, and by trade shoemaker,
was one to whom the divine ideal of
the universe seemed to be manifest
ed. Fox made shoes until he be-
came so interested in the books he
had studied that he could not hold
himself in check. He had to
preach. He had no clothes fit to
wear, SO he made himself leather
suit that would withstand years Of
wear. Carlyle wrote, Tet some
Angelo or Rosa picture George Fox
on that morning when he spread
out his cutting board for the last
time and cut cowhides by unwonted
patterns and stitched them together
into one continuous all including
case, the farewell service Of his
awl."
"Roger Sherman never said a
foolish thing in his life," said
Thomas jefferson. 'Roger Sher-
man had more common sense than
any other man / ever knew" said
another eminent man. "When l
come in late, and do not know
which way to VOTE" said Fisher
Ames, 81 ask how Sherman voted.
He always votes right" Sherman
was one of the signers of the Decla-
ration of Independence. He was
shoemaker until he was twenty-one
years old. People used to point out
where he sat, where he worked and
studied, and where he could set his
book so that he could glance at it
in the interval of the work of the
hammer and the awl OF his con-
nection with the gentle craft" he
was never ashamed. He declared in
congress against a certain contract
for shoes. "The charges are ex-
orbitant," he said, which fact he
proved by specifying the cost of the
leather and the materials and of the
work. The minuteness with which
this was done excited surprise, and
then he said to the committee, 81
am by trade a shoemaker" Yes, a
patriot and shoemaker he was, and
in both capacities he was pre-emi-
nent for common sense.-Success.

When People Rose Early.

In medieval and modern Europe
the prevailing practice down to the
middle of the eighteenth century
was to have three meals a day
that partaken of at midday, and not
the evening one, being the principal.
In those days all classes rose early,
4 a. m. being the usual hour, and
one hour later breakfast was eaten.
Twelve o'clock was the established
dining hour Supper, less abun-
dant repetition of dinner, followed
in the evening.

A Carlsbad Cure,

The consulting room of a Carls-
bad physician seems about the last
place in the world for humorous in
cidents. Yet this is what happened
in one of these haunts of the sick
the other day. A new patient, after
having been thoroughly cross ex-
amined by the doctor, had received
minute instructions as to diet, ETC.,
and was dismissed with this injunc-
ton, GAS for smoking, you must
limit yourself to three cigars daily;
three light cigars and no more" "
After a few days the patient appears
again in the consulting room.
"Well, and how are you?" asks the
physician.
81 should be all right" replies
the patient, "but your orders about
smoking are difficult to follow"
81 am sorry" the doctor says
categorically, "but no more than
three cigars day. You must just
put up with it," =
"But, doctor, it really is an awful
business. Wouldn't two day do {?
/ feel Ill every time / smoke"
"Why, man, what in the world do
you smoke for at all if that is the
case" the doctor roared.
"But, doctor, wasn't it you your
self who said three cigars a day
and no more?' OF course / thought
they were part of the cure and be-
gan upon them, though Tve never
in my life taken to smoking" Tab

Webster and the Clock.

Once while Daniel Webster was
speaking in the senate on the sub

senate clock began to strike, but in
stead of striking twice at 2 p. m. it
continued without cessation more
than forty times.
All eyes were turned to the clock
and Mr. Webster remained silent
until it had struck about twenty,
when he thus appealed to the chair;

What Your Temperature Should Be.

The temperature of the body of
a healthy person varies from about
9734 to 9S1a degrees f. 1t is low
est between 2 a. m. and 4 a. m., and
highest in the afternoon between 4
p. m. and 6 p. m. The body may
feel hot or cold at different times,
but its actual temperature does not
alter by as much as a single degree,
whether a person in good health is
at the hottest or coolest parts of
the earth, eating or fasting, at rest
or taking violent exercise.

The Wonderful Spider.

The body of every spider contains
four little masses, pierced with a
multitude of holes Gmperceptible to
the naked eye), each hole permitting
the passage of a single thread, all
the threads, to the amount of 1000
to each mass, join together when
they come out and make the single
thread with which the spider spins
its web, so that what we call a
spiders thread consists OF more
than 1000 threads united.
