THERMOMETERS ARE NEVER SAFE

Natives OF Guatsmala Uses Mercury Is
Specific for Torpid LIyers.
.'1f you want to keep thermome-

guard over it" said a traveller who
had just returned from Il, visit to
Central America. Its a fact, as
sure you. Shortly before I started for
home l made trip from Port Bar
rios to Guatemala City. M
"The weather was broiling hot, and
when we got to. Guatemala City,
which is about the largest town on
the road, thought I'd see what the
temperature really was. So / strolled
out of the hotel to locate a thermom-
eter, and after long search + found
one hanging on porch Of a residence.

ed by cage Of wire netting, heavy
enough to hold young bear. It was
a cheap thermometer, and such a pre-
caution seemed all the more remarka-
BILE because petty household pilfering
is practically unknown in that coun-
try.
Il found out during my stay that
the reason for this protection is that
the people suffer from torpid livers,
and regard mercury as specific. How
the belief became current goodness
only knows" he went on, "but it is
universal all through the interior,
and If an outside thermometer is left
unprotected overnight it is morally
certain to be broken and drained.

The late Frank Stockton never
could write successful poem. In
this connection the novelist frequently
told good story on himself. In his
youth, in conjunction with his brother
John, he wrote many poems with
which he afflicted the editors of vari-
Gus Canadian periodicals. The effu-
sions always came back. The editor
of one magazine was an especial tar
get of the Stocktons, but as none Of
their poems was ever accepted the
brothers came to the conclusion that
the editor had no conception of good
poetry.
To prove their belief they hunted
up and dispatched to Rim an ode little
known, from Milton. Within two
days they received a check and a let
ter Of thanks. II came to the con-
clusion that that editor knew poetry
when he saw it after alT,' Mr.. Stock

The strike of the workingmen In
Stockholm during the debates in the
rigsdag over the universal suffrage bill
was unique. Nearly 10000 men laid
down their tools and quit. For two
days Stockholm, a city of 100000 fnhab-
itants, was without misrepresentation
lutely every industry was completely
paralyzed The conduct of the strikers
was most exemplary. They attired
themselves in their Sunday best" and
went on the streets with other prom
enaders, swelling the crowds greatly;
but there were no attendant disorders;
rather the town was quieter even than
Oil Sunday, for the cabs and street cars
were not running. The demonstration
called forth many comments for its dig
nifty, but it also made the people
thoughtful.
The newspapers did a thriving bust
ness with the provincial dailies. but
could not begin to supply the demand
for news. Aftonbladet issued a small
extra, which was run off on hekto-
graphs. The engineers of the electric
light stations had to get down to real
work. The theaters We're closed. for the
stage hands were taking holiday or

so completely tied up as Stockholm
during the big strike of May 1911.

An unfortunate incident of the early
career of Bret Harte grew out of his
acceptance of an invitation to deliver

concerning Truthful James. He came
to Cambridge and supplemented a
learned address from one of the philo-
sophers of the time with a. vishy-

might have addressed to, his mis-

Boyesen's Sketch OF Life In Their
In one Of his numerous magazine arti-
cles the late Hjalmar HORT Boyesen
wrote very entertainingly OF life In the
fishing villages of Norway, with which
he was very familiar In his boyhood
days. The following sketch will be 'e-
cognized as true to life by thousands Of
citizens of the Northwest:
1T is a beautiful sight to see the fish
ing fleet start out in the early morning.
Singly or in companies of three, four or
half dozen, the boats come scuddin8
along with the one square sail set, until
the whole sea seems covered, and a
Jagged line of masts defines the west
ern horizon. When they have reached
the fishing grounds they let the sails
drop; the hooks are baited and the lines
flung overheard. Those who have had
nets set over night haul them in and
row home, returning later In the day.

ers chance. the law prohibits the en-
numbering of the sea with nets during
the daytime.

people might repose in them by prophe-
sying storms which fail to make their
appearance; ard failing to prophasy
those which make widows and orphans
by the score. 1t was only last year that
a storm of this sort made havoc in
many humble homes in the north OF
Norway. Day after day and night at
ter night every knoll and rock about the
fishing villages would be crowded with
anxious women, Styling along the hori-
ION for glimpse Of the we'll known sail
which they were never to see again. At
the end Of a week or two an arm or
leg with a sea-boot on would perhaps
drift ashore and would be recognized by
some mark by one Of the many mourn
ers. And then a funeral would be held
over that CHASTITY remnant; and hymns
would be sungand tears shed, and a lu-
dubious feasts prepared in honor Of the
dead"
