to the face Of the pulley the phenom-

which causes the long arm of the lever

There lately died in Indiana little
old lady who for sixty-fve years had
not stepped outside her door. Although
the village station was within a few
blocks OF her home, she had never seen
railway train. Yet she was not
blind, nor cripple. nor bedridden
sufferer. A few years before the young
Victoria assembled the throne of Eng
land this Indiana girl quarreled with
her lover, and declared their engage
ment at an end. That evening. and at
intervals OF sixty years thereafter. the
man faithfully renewed his offer OF
marriage She chose to abide by her
foolish resolution, to which she added
vow never to leave her home. Hu-
man vanity takes many forms. Poor
Lady Coventry, who had been world
famous as one OF the beautiful Gun
nings, spent her last days on couch
with pocket mirror in her hand.
When caller hinted how greatly she
had changed she took to her bed, had
no light in her room, and finally took
things in through the bed curtains
without suffering them to be with
drawn. History says that ten thou
sand persons went to see her coffin.
Horace Walpole afiirms that Lord Fame
once kept his bed six weeks because
the Duke of Newcastle forgot in one OF
his letters to sign himself your very
humble servant" as usual. and only
put your humble servant" This all
seems very silly. but unfortunately
these morbidly sensitive people of the
past have their counterparts today.
To be talked about and written about
is still one of the most prevalent and
pernicious cravings Of society, and
there seem to be few depths Of renun-
citation and self-abasement which go
untried. The heroine Of the dime
