Greek and Roman stoves.

Warm as Greece and Rome and
Egypt are, stoves were made there in
the dim and misty vistas of the past.
1t was not just the pattern used at
present, but was metal basin in
which charcoal was burned. 1t sat in
the middle Of the room, and as the re-
sulting smoke was of the slightest no
opening in the roof or elsewhere was
necessary. The same implement, still
called by its old Greek name of bra
zier, is now employed in many portions
Of continental Europe, where it is util-
lied for heating as well as cooking.
But the progressive Romans i'm
proved on that and made hypocaust.
1t was the germ of the present fur
mace. 1t was made under the house in
a little cellar prepared for it, and the
heat was conducted to the rooms and
baths through creyices left in the floor
and lower portions Of the wall. Later
flues were provided, conducting heat
to any portion of the house. In some
of the old Roman villas in England the
remains of these old time furnaces are
still found

Undigested Food.

The recurrence Of the flavor of food
for some time after eating is always
an indication, writes a physician in a
medical journal, that the food is not
being properly digested. 81 can taste
It," we say after eating canned fruits
and vegetables preserved by adding
salicylic acid or formaldehyde, sub
stances that embalm food against the
digestive juices as completely as they
protect it from the microbes of the
outer air. And 81 can taste it, would
probably be the report Of one who had
made hearty meal on turkey kept
several months in cold storage. "a
man trying to live on such meat would
simply starve to death or die of blood
poisoning" adds the physician.
He does not fail to remind us that
the storage warehouse is generally a
convenience and a benefit and only
when misused source of danger. But
neither he nor any one else could find
a good word to say for manufacturers
who put slow poison into food prod
uct. The fitting punishment for them
would be to give them nothing to eat
but their own canned stuff.

For Tired Eyes.

Eyes will be greatly strengthened by
putting the face down into glass or
eyecup of water the first thing in the
morning and opening them under wa
ter. This is somewhat difficult to do
at first, but if the water for two or
three days be tepid and gradually made
colder by imperceptible degrees until
it is no shock to put the face into quite
cold water it will soon become quite
easy and is very invigorating and re-
freshing.
If done regularly every day, this
treatment alone will preserve the sight
into quite old age. There is right
and wrong way of wiping the eyes
after this, too. and the right way is to
pass the soft towel very gently from
the outer angle inward toward the
nose.
If after a long day the eyes feel SO,
hot and tired that they seem dim when
one tries to read or to do little neces-
sary sewing for oneself, they should be
bathed with cold tea from which the
leaves have been removed.

The Bird That Flies Longest.

Mr.. j. Lancaster, naturalist, who
spent five years on the west coast Of
Florida studying birds there, came to
the conclusion that of all the feathered
tenants of the air the frigate bird can
fly the longest without resting. He has
seen one flying for whole week night
and day without repose.
The frigate bird can feed, collect ma
terials for it's nest and even sleep on
the wing. Apparently it's wings car
be controlled automatically, without
the power Of it's will, and it probably
adapts itself to take advantage of the
upward or bearing force Of the wind.
The spread of the frigate birds wing
is great, and it can fly at speed Of
ninety-six miles an hour, without seem
ing to flap it's wings much.
The albatross-that liking of the high
SEAS" as it has been called-is larger
than the frigate bird, but if it follows
a vessel for four or five days it has to
rest on rock or on the ship itself.

Origin of the Clearing House.

In 1915 the bankers of London rented
house in Lombard street and fitted it
with tables and desks for the use Of
their clerks as place where bills,
notes, drafts and other commercial pa
per might be exchanged without the
trouble of personal visits of employees
to all the metropolitan banks. Trans
fer tickets We're used, and by means Of
this simple plan transactions involving
many millions We're settled without a
penny changing hands. The Bank Of
England and every other important
bank in London are members of the
Clearing House association. The first
clearing house in the United States
was established by the associated
banks Of New York in 1853.

His First Busines. Venture.

An American capitalist who has
made a fortune running far into the
millions likes to tell story of his first
business venture and how he saddened
the local grocer. At this time he was
fond of frequenting public salesroem
near his home where all sorts of bar
gains We're offered:
One day l noticed several boxes of
soap of a certain brand which I had
often been sent to buy at the corner
grocery. l thought to myself, "That
will go cheap" so l ran to the grocery
and received promise from the man
in charge to buy as much Of the soap
at certain figure as could furnish.
OF course he never suspected that /
could furnish any of it.
returned to the salesroom, and
when the soap was put up bid it in,
and it was knocked down to me- My
name was demanded, and when gave
it in shrill voice everybody laughed,
for 1 was then only eleven years of
age.
Amused as they Were at the sale, the
bystanders were amazed when bid iii
the whole lot of twenty-five boxes. /
had them carried over to the grocery
and received the price agreed upon.
The grocer wore a weary look when he
heard how had obtained the soap.
He said:
"Well, guess could have done that
myself"
replied that guessed he could, too.
but he n't.-Youth's Companion.

Learning the Game,

When that great plainsman j. B.
Hickok, better known as wild Bill"
came east on what he called ''redhot
trail to learn something" he stopped
one Saturday night at hotel in Port
land Me.
When he went to his room to seek
rest he found that the adjoining room
was occupied by company of fashion
able and rich young sports of Portland
who, it did not take him long to dis
cover, were playing an interesting
game of poker for magistrates. In vain
did he try to sleep. He could not do
SO, and after an hour arose, dressed
himself and knocked on the door.
Instantly all was silent; but he in
quired politely that as they would not
let him sleep would they let him come
in and watch the game?
They did so and were impressed with
the appearance of the man and asked
If he would join them.
II will if you will post me; but, you
know, I'm tenderfoot east" he re-
piled.
They were willing to "post" him,
and, playing awkwardly, making blum
ders and asking questions, but seem
ingly greatly interested, he continued
to play until daylight, when he put his
winnings, some $1,000, in his pocket.
81 thank you, gentlemen" he said,
'and I'm rather glad you would not let
me sleep. I'll be here until tomorrow,
so keep me awake some more'
But the players did not appear again.

Rice and Rice.

To most people rice is rice, but, not
withstanding this, there is a consider
able difference between the Chinese or
Japanese and the American article
The former is darker in color and in no
way compares with the latter in flavor
or quality. OF the American. how
ever, there are a number of grades, of

rroving PoIarizution.

The polarization of the human body
can be proved by allowing strong
current to flow through the body from
one end to the other, the hands being
placed in two basins connected with
the poles. The hands are then dried
and placed in two other basins of wa
ter connected with the wires of deli
cate galvanometer. A current in the
reverse direction to the original one is
then found to flow from the body.
