Phrenology is usually thought to
have been first expounded by Gall and
Spurzheim and to be Il comparatively
modern so called science" But 1t
can be traced back to the sixteenth
century at least, for in Il book pub
llshed at that time by "Mayster Jhe-
rome Of Bruynswicke' is Il profile OF
a head OH which are most distinct
ly marked chronological attributes.
Imaginative" occupies the place now
given on the charts to "ideality;'
fantasia" takes the place of the mod
ern ''marvelousness,' "estimantia' of
'constructiveness,' while "cogitan-
tia is given instead of hope" The
author states that the brain hath cells
or chambers, and each cell contains n
part of the understanding, and that
these parts may be expressly seen in
the figure of the head. Phrenologlsts
can at least disclaim against theiI
beliefs being newfangled. London

Hat Etiuneftp.

Tipping the hat is Il rare thing among
men when there are no women around.
A few fine old fellows cherish the habit
Of tipping TO each other and to stran-
gers when introduced, but ordinarily
the hand never touches the brim. In
business offices there is no sort Of ETH
quette. Men in the sweep and rush OF
business have no time TO give thought
to hats. But certain decencies Should
prevail. On entering a private office
look ut the head of the occupant. If
he has his hat on, keep yours on: If his
hat is off, remove yours. The removal
Of your hat is a compliment and a
courtesy and does not indicate that you
are inferior or subservient.-New York
Press.

The wind does not affect the ther-
mometer. as any II may find out for
himself by n simple test. Take two
dry bulb thermometers of exactly the
same kind and hang N of them where
1t will be exposed TO the wind and the
other where it will be sheltered-say,
on two sides of the corner of the house
and after allowing them TO hang
thus for n few minutes you will find
that they register the anne. And yet
the person who stands near the Their
mometer that hangs in the wind will
feel the cold more sensibly than the
person who stands near the sheltered
one.
The wind is simply air in motion.
and air in motion is no colder than the
same air In Il state of rest. We feel
colder in the wind simply because its
blowing over us takes the heat away
from the body by causing Il more rap
id evaporation from the skin. There is
no evaporation from the dry bulb of Il
thermometer, and therefore the wind
does not affect il.

In nm Old Time House.

To go down into the low ceiled kitch-
en-, with its heavy, rough hewn tim
bers and its great fireplace with the
logs fast turning to Goals; to look into
the old brick oven, where bread for a
regiment could easily have been baked,
and, perchance, to be asked to sit down
on the old wooden settee under the lit
tie window where the pot of flowers
stands and drink tea from a quaint
blue cup will complete the charm the
place has thrown about you. Many
fantasies will throng the mind, and
the shadows cast upon the walls by the
wavering light make this house their

a military step, the other Il rustic Of

ROMAN HOT BATHS.
They May Have Caused the Down

They May Have Caused the Down
fail of the Imperial City.
When Rome was in her glory and
men were strong and women beauti-
full, they set first Importance upon
the bath. There were 500 public baths
in imperial Rome.
Before taking Il bath the Roman took
n little exercise. In the later history
of Rome the room in which he I'M
dressed was heated. and after undress-
ing he was anOinted with oil. Then
came the scratching and rubbing of
the skin with the strigil. Following
this perSpiration was promoted by
heated air or Il hot bath. The bath
was completed with Il cold douche or
cold plunge. Finally the body was
anointed again.
1t is believed by many writer's that
the introduction of the hot bath in
the place of the cold bath among the
Romans was the principal cause of
their downfall. The luxury of the hot
bath was weakening and destroyed
that personal valor and hardihood for
which the Romans were notorious in
their earlier history.
Little by little the e%nervating inlu.
ence Of the hot bath gradually sapped
away the vitality of the Roman soldier
until the more hardy men of the north
found them very easy foes TO con.

Won Liebig was skillful in correcting
popular delusions on scientific subjects.
A notable example of this may be
found In the overthrow of the once
much discussed theory of %"spontane-
Gus combustion" Il comparatively mod
crn error. dating, ii seems, only from
the year 1925. but which persisted long
after Lavoisier had explained the e
nature of fire, which was from time to
time put forward with success in the
defense of persons on trial for murder
and received its last support from
Charles Dickens. His success in this
direction throws Il pleasant light on
the progress of civilization. One Won
ders what would have been the fate of
Won Liebig had he opposed himself TO
such an error in the sixteenth century
when Kepler could only save his moth
err from going to the stake for witch
craft by satisfying her judges that she
possessed none of the signs essential
to a witch. In those days Kepler did
not dare TO say that there were no
such things as witches.-W. y. Shen-
stone in Cornhill Magazine.

time hOnOred traditions. our manners
and customs were English, bred in the
bone: Il point of view that of the
mother country. Freedom and equal
ity were political terms that no one
dreamed of applying to social life.
What gave position Mt that time was
inherited distinction. Its possession
was free from self cOnsciousness-sim
ply an advantage Of birth. which that
Providence who had always shown IN
affinity to hierarchies saw fit to bestow
on Il favored class. The community
was divided by the grace of God into
gentlemen and others; perhaps it
would be more exact TO say gentlemen,
their servants and others. The privacy
of these gentlemen concerned them
selves only. There were no social
happenings heralded in their newspa-
pers to force notoriety upon family life.

early aristocrats if they could have an

days would attach 70 their privileges

PAYING TELLERs' ERRORS.
Those OnciaIs Are Usually Ready to
Rectify Mistakes.

A bank officer. referring In Il recent
address to the responsibility of paying
tellers, declares that the idea that such
officials were rarely willing to rectify
mistakes had little basis in fact. He
added: How Is II that there exists In
the minds Of many the idea that pay
ing tellers are inclined TO resent even
the suggestion that they make errors
in counting money? | have never
known one who made the slightest
claim to infallibillty. Who has not
heard the ancient and oft told story of
a teller who was asked by II person for
whom he has cashed n check If he had
not made n mistake? As the narrative
usually runs the self satisfied money
counter behind the desk Is inclined TO
become indignant and replies In Il
pompous and abrupt name that he
never makes mistakes. The consider
ate party then states that the amount
paid him exceeded that named in the
check. but the teller still maintains
that there can he no error either way,
as he never makes mistakes.
Where is the teller who upon being
told he had made an error would fall
to politely inquire as To the nature of
the same? The Inference is that tell
ers are possessed of so much vanity
and conceit that they lose the amount
said to he overpald rather than nc
knowledge an error. How unlikely
and rldiculous,'-New York Post.

Setting aside the food not to be
counted MS literature, the naming of n
book that is worthy of n name is a
matter of real moment. Two methods
seem to have been followed-that of
using the name of Il leading character,
as "Jane Eyre" and Rob Roy" the
other that of giving some hint of the
nature of the book, as in Vanity Fair
and "The ClOister and the Hearth"
The first method has no justification.
What we plead for is that a title shall
contain the soul or the keynote of the
book. Then the author and reader
start OH fair terms. Jane Austen. a
conSummate artist, understood this
well, as in Pride and Prejudice" but
forsook her advantage in "Emma"-a
better book and susceptible to as tell
ing a title. 1t Is difficult TO estimate
what would have been the loss to lit
erature If 1.-The Scarlet Letter had
been labeled Hester Prynne" and
''The House of Seven Gables"-a title
that has worked its way into architcc-
ture-had been called THE Pyn-
cheOns."-Dr. Theodore L. Munger

It's origin, According To n Quaint
Legend of the East.
The prophet was taking Il stroll In
the country when he saw a serpent,
stiff with cold, lying on the ground.
He compassionately took 1t up and
warmed it in his bosom. When the
serpent had recovered it said:
Divine prophet, listen. | am now
going to bite thee
"Why, prayT inquired Mohammed.
Because thy race makes perpetual
war on mine" said the serpent,
but thy race, too, makes perpetual
wal against mine,' was the prophets
rejoinder. "Ilow canst thou, besides,
be so ungrateful and so soon forget
that | saved thy lifeT'
There is no such thing as gratitude
upon this earth" replied the serpent,
land If | were now TO spare thee
either thou or another Of thy race
would kill me. BY Allah, | shall bite
thee"
"If thou hast sworn by Allah l will
not cause thee TO break thy vow,' said
the prophet, holding his hand to the
serpent's mouth. The serpent bit him,
but he sucked the wound with his lips
and spat the IN on the ground.
And on that very spot there sprung up
a plant which combines within itself
the venom of the serpent and the COM
passion of the prophet. Men call this
plant by the name of tobacco.-'To-

the cap. he began TO count in a meas
ured and mechanical tone, zone, two,
three, four, five" and so on. When
the exposure was finished the sitter
said: you gave more than thirty sec
onds to that plate. You counted very
slow-Tm sure II took you Il full min
ute to count thirty
The photographer handed his watch
to the young woman He said: I'll
count thirty again. Time me- And
he made the count exactly as before
and he was Just twenty-nine seconds

said the photographer. Ten years
ago, when made more pictures than

exposures up to five minutes without
being more than a second off. Usually
Id be u second under; but, over or I'M
der, 1t was only by one second that
I'd be out Of the way. But" he added,

Nature the Only Healer.

Medicine never did any person Il par
ticle Of good except by digestion, as
similation-going into circulation, etc.
No salve contains any healing prop
erty except rs a protection to keep
away the effect of oxygen in the air,
dirt or any foreign substance from
coming in contact with the part af-
fected. The natural powers of Il be-
ing possess the only power TO heal.
Anything that may be done to assist
in a natural way is good-contrary,
bad. Give good food to make good
blood. Breathe good air, rest and not
overeXercise to the extent of fatigue.
Then the body will r%ecuperate, Then
the wound will be healed by healthy
serum that is secreted to heal all
wounds, not the salve. The salve pro-
tects from outside influence, while the
machinery within goes on with its

tried to remedy this. The Portuguese
