Muscles That gr.ak eon.o

A case without parallel it at.
tracing the attention of medical men
In the vicinity of Fostoria, Ohio. In
Alvada lives John Gleckner. He is
81 years OF age, but for the past eight
cen years has been suffering from
some strange muscular disease, which
gradually robbed him of his strength
until he has become as helpless as a
babe, confined to his bed and a wheel
chair alternately. Even his food has
to be given him.
Several days ago he was seized with
cramp in his left leg. He suf-
fered intense pain, but was unable to
move. The cramp continued and
gradually the muscles above the knee
commenced to contract, knots swelled
and the strained tendons felt like
cords beneath the skin. Suddenly
there was a snap and the thigh bone
broke like stick.

A Novel Game

Here's a game that is enjoyed by
every one who plays it. Make two
cornucopias of fairly stiff paper, Ieav-
ing the small ends large enough to
pass pieces of Irvine through. Take
two pieces of string, and slip each
through one cornucopia, stretching
them two feet apart, as tight as you
can across the room, fastening the
ends to either wall.
The strings should be high enough
from the ground to enable you to blow
into the cornucopia. The object of
the game is for two people to stand
at the end of the strings and blow
into the large openings Of the cornu.
copias, and see which one can get
it across the room first.
1t takes a person with a good pair
of lungs to send it the length of the
string in one blow.

Iced Tea a Beverage

i do not know the scientific reason

mining regions of the west, "but on
my last trip to some of the mining
towns in Oklahoma Territory particu-
larly, found that the miners are in
the habit of drinking tea almost ex-
ciusiyely while toiling under the

and the only explanation they gave
was that water and coffee made them
sick at the stomach. Iced tea, they
said, was the best drink they had been
able to find, and the use Of this drink

ket would cause him to prick up his
ears in jiffy. His sense of hearing
was marvellous in many respects, and
guess 1t was due to the fact that the
loss of sight had strengthened all
the other senses of the animal. But
coming back to the subject of tea
while engaged in the mine was practi-
cally new thing, but had become
very extensive in a short space of
time.
1T has been great boon to the
miners to find a liquid which would
appease the throat without nauseat-
ing them, and strengthening them at
the same time in no small degree.
Some of the more thoughtful miners
told me that the use of tea in the
mines had proven of great benefit to
the men in many ways, for prior to its
introduction there was much suffer
ing. II the men drank water it made
them sick. II they did not drink IL
they would almost perish. Some

ANCIENT AMERICAN MAPS
Records Made by Indians Which Date Boo
Many Centuries

The Oldest maps in America are to
be found In Arizona and Texas. How
old they are may not be said, but they
date back many centuries. The Indian
has left behind him many records. In
his rude implements of peace and war
fare-his knives, arrows, axes, spears,
vessels, mortars, quoits, ETC., we can
read to-day the history of prehistoric
races, their habits and customs, their
social life, their tribal relations, their
occupations and their pastimes. From
picture writings we gain additional in
sight into the ways of these primi-
tive people. 1t now appears that some
OF these early dwellers in the land
were map-makers of no mean ability.
The traditions of some of the tribes OF
Arizona, Texas and Mexico held init
mate relations with each other, and
their inhabitants travelled back nd
forth from country to country for CEN
turtles.
In Tenaja canyon, Tex, are unmis--
taxable evidences of this. The lay of
the land is such as to make this can
yon the natural pass for a large area
OF country north and south of that
point. The travel which has passed
through this canyon has worn the solid
rock of the trail to depth OF not less
than three feet. Even though the re-
gion about were densely populated, 1t
must have taken three centuries to
wear through this adamantine path.
