They have curious laws In Vienna
and enforce them too. Recently Marie
Fried and Felix Kopstein. aged 10 and
13 years respectively, were walking
along a street In the Austrian capital
when they came across an old woman
staggering along under the weight of a
heavy package. Moved by pity. they
offered to carry 1t for the old woman, a
proposition to which she readily ac-
coded The kind hearted children had
not gone far before they were arrested
by a policeman for carrying parcels
without a license. The children were
taken to a police station. where the of
ficer In charge lectured them upon the
enormity OF their offense. They were
kept under arrest for six hours and
then released with warning.

High Mountain. of the Moon.

The Lelbnitz range attains enormous
attitudes above the average level Of the
moons surface and Is sometimes seen
projected far beyond the regular eurya-
ture of disk, thus destroying the clrcu-
lar contour and giving il a notehed or
serrated aspect. Several of the peaks
of these southern mountains measure
10000 feet in altitude. while one has
been estimated to attain the great
height of 10000 feet All the chief
mountains of the moon which can be
seen from the earth with a telescope
have had their heights ascertained. The
German observers, Beer and Maedler
have calculated the height OF no fewer
than 1.095 lunar mountains. The Do

Size of PropeIlers.

ton of any inventor of its greater eff

purely TO accident. When | first engag 2

Erie with screw so large that 1t was

parts and then weld them together.
During storm all these blades of the
propeller broke at the welding, reduc-

vessel shot forward at speed such as

were much more effective than large
ones. Had it not been for that accident
we might have gone on using large
blade screws to the present day."

The Reading Cure.

Reading aloud is recommended by
physicians as benefit to persons af-
fected with any chest complaint. The
recommendation is made because in all
cases of lung trouble 1t is important
for the sufferer to indulge in exercise
by which the chest is in part filled by
and emptied of air, for the exercise is
strengthening to the throat, lungs and
muscles of the chest.
Reading aloud can be practiced by
all and besides being a curative act
can be a pleasure and profit to both
reader and hearers. In this treatment
it is recommended that an overdose OF
medicine be avoided, that the reading
be deliberate, without being allowed
to drag, that the enunciation be clear,
the body be held in an easy, unstrain-
ed upright position. so that the chest
will have free play, and that the
breathing be natural and as deep as
possible without undue effort.

LEARNING A TRADE.
The Danger of Making n Specialist
of IA Beginner.

1t Is generally to the interest of an
employer that an apprentice should not
learn his trade as a whols. but only a
little section of it, says Joseph uorner
In Casters Magazine. It pays better
to keep lad repeating the perform
ance Of one section of his craft than
TO teach him all. More money is made.
But the apprentice becomes young
specialist prlg In his teens, cocksure
over some little piece OF handicraft mt
which lie may earn something over his
normal wages, and many lad does
not become dlslllusioned until he has to
face the world and Try his luck in
other shops.
And therefore the best shops in
which TO place lad are not the big es.
Adjustments, but the small ones. where
every class Of work Is done and where
tools and appliances are often scant.
lad will learn more in these than in
those replete with every appliance and
infinitely subdiyided into sections and
groups.
The best training for a lad today il
that which lie can evolve for himself
The greatest evil that can befall him
is to become specialist and nothing
more while in his teens. Yet that is
what must happen If he spends several
years tending machines or doing re-
petitiye, unvarying tasks In one big es-
Enlistment.
The best training therefore. today is
that gathered by the peripatetic youth.
II lad cannot gain experience IN one
place, he should move about, gathering
as much as he can accumulate with
one firm, then ON to another, and at
tending training schools as opportunity
offers. His views become broadened,
he becomes self reliant, and in time.
having found his true work. he may
settle down as specialist.

A Holiday that win Last Week.

There is a movement afoot in New
England to establish a new holiday
"Old Home Week" Our great country
has grown wondrously since the Civil
War, and In the rush TO people the will
derness families have been broken up
and scattered Sons, daughters, sisters
and brothers have left their native
towns and gone thousands of miles
away to begin life for themselves.
Hardly family in the older States but
has given loved ones to the ravenous
West, and New England has given
more than all. So now 1t Is thought
that one week in each year should be
set apart for family reunions-a week
in autumn, perhaps-when harvest Is
done and the children of New England
can come together under the old roofs,
meet their old playmates and live their
old lives. All through the Western
States people are becoming interested
in the new holiday, and last year one OF
the New England governors issued a
proclamation setting aside an "Old
Home Week" The homecoming was
general enough to warrant the belief
that the holiday can be made perma-
nent one.

In the presidential campaign of 1853
the Democrats in the west made an ef-
fective point by contrasting Mr.. Buch-
anan's long public career as a senator,
secretary of state and minister to Eng
land with General Frcmonts limited
experience, consisting of service Of q
days in the United States senate.
In the great campaign of 1850 they
tried the same tactics, which had prov
ed so successful, to dlsparage Mr.. Lin
coin. He had served but single term
IN congress. while Senator Douglas had
for many years enjoyed a national rep
uta ton.
This point was urged in heated dis
cussion overheard between an ardent
supporter of Senator Douglas and a
German voter who favored Mr. Lin
coin. The former finally thought to
overwhelm his opponent by saying:
"Who Is this Lincoln, anyhow? No.
body ever heard of him until Senator
Douglas brought him into notice by
holding joint debates with him. Sena-
tor Douglas. on the other hand. Is a
great statesman. Why, he has had his
eye on the presidential chair for the
last ten years"
.'Vot Is dot you say?" was the reply.
you say Meester Dooglas have had his
eye on the president chair for the last
ten years."
Yes; that is just what | said.'
"Vell, you shoost tell Meester Doog-
las eef he keep hees eye on dot chair

That closed the debate amid roar of
