FRESH AIR DISLIKED.
where Clothes and Fuel Are Scarce
This Has Oftentimes Been
the Case.

The theory that the necessity Of ex--
cluding from houses the Injurious night
air is the cause the world over of the
practice of poor ventilation will not
hold 1t is at least not the sole nor the,
chief reason of the prejudice against.
fresh air, says American Medicine.
Manffestly it does not obtain for
countries in which there is no mosquito.
In cold climates, and especially in the,
winter season, the theory has no ap-
plicabiEfty, and another expIanatfons
must be found.
This isy we believe, the necessity that
exists, especially among ths vast ma
Jor1ty OF the poor to. economize
warmth. A large portion of the peas-
ants OF France to-day secure this econ
Omy by keeping their domestic animals
at night in the combined house and
stable. a.
In arctic climates and in winter even
IN temperate zones, and especially in
previous centuries, the securing of suf-
ficient clothing and saving the loss of
warmth has doubtless been q chief
cause OF the universal fear of, ventilla-.
ton.
In this way to-day in some countries
medical college lecture rooms get ON
without the expense of fuel by utilizing
the foul, but warm exhalatfons of the
bodies of hundreds of students, who in,
anger cry out against door ajar Or a
crack in window.
TIE greatest and best remedial agent
In tuberculosis and many other devil
taIzing diseases is fresh air, by night or
by day, ever fresh air

We have been spouting these ten

Mysteries over them, says the New

gone to extremes in soliciting Japan
csc trade, and our great insurance
companies have sent agents broad
cast over the islands Of the land of
the rising sun to write policies. In no
other country on the globe is the work
Of the insurance solicitor SO easy. In
one month $lO0OO,OoO Of life insur-
ance has been placed by one New
York company. Every measly little
dwarf of Jap wants to insure. An
agent has just discovered that in
medical examinations he has been
badly duped one healthy Jap stand
ing tie test for many hundreds Of his
fellow countrymen. AS all Japs look
alike, the doctors did not detect the
fraud until about 100000 in policies
had been written. Local insurance
men are exercised about 1t.

TRAMP'S SCHEME.
Diverted by Sympathetic Farmers He
Resorts to Trickery to Obtain
Transportation.

Bohemia possesses q specimen Of

duplicate. He Is young man quite
we'll known in the neighborhOod Of
kolin, and who had record for pedes-
trianism that gained him much ad-
m!ration and fairly full stomach
most of the TINA. reports the New
York Journal.
Through being overfed by sympa-
thetic farmers and village people the
man recently became too fat and in
dolent to put one foot before the other.
Patience having ceased to become q
virtue with the people of Kolin, tho
youth found 1t necessary to move on.
Being too tired to walk, he con-
ceived the audacious idea Of getting a
free railroad ride-audacious because
it Is only in America that railway en-
ployes wink at the schemes Of tramps.
Having decided to 60 to Vienna the
young man calmly went to the police
station in Kolin and gave himself up
as the murderer Of young woman in
the Austrian capital. He was prompt
ly seized and transported in comfort
to his destination, where it was soon
discovered that no such murder had
occurred.
A short term in prison for the tech
meal offense Of contempt of court was
all that the tramp had to pay for his
ride. He showed his appreciation by
smiling broadly when sentenced.

Set into corner Of the Kaaba (the

known as the "black stone" 1t Is an
irregular, oval bowlder, about seven
inches in diameter. three inches broad,
and deep reddish brown in color. 1t is
encircled by a silver band studded
with silver nails. 1t has been split by
heat, carried away by Karmathians
and broken by a blow, but the band
and nails hold 1t together. Some have
declared 1t fragment Of lava, others
q piece OF volcanic basalt. Millions Of
kisses have worn its rough surface
somewhat smooth. The Mohammedans
believe it was hyacinth brought from
heaven by Gabriel to Abraham, and
that contact with the human race has
changed its properties.
