The nterviewer was carefully placed out
Of range; there was so much done for her
comfort that it aroused suspicious. 1t was
easy to see that Miss Elliott believed that
hv Heeping the plate and mouth full the fatal
Qu"stions would be eliminated for the time
being. She forgot the acknowledged truth
that the English language, 70 linguists say,
is the only one that can be spoken with
the mouth full.

Shovel coal. Is that theatrical term?

Dogs Smell Death.

There's an old superstition that
bowling dog in front of the house Of
an i'll person portends death. One
prominent physician believes absolute
ly in it. The physician has a wonder
fully acute sense of smell. Frequently,
he says, he can foretell the coming of
death within forty-eight hours of the
patients demise. Within two days of
death, he says, peculiar earthly odor
becomes noticeable about person
about to die. He tells of one case
where he became aware of the peculiar
odor while talking to an apparently
healthy man. That night the man
dropped dead of heart disease. The
physician is far from attrlbuting the
peculiar manifestation to other than
physiological reasons. His own sense
of smell is abnormally acute.-Troy

Jade is the sacred store CT the Chi
nese and is used By them In making
bracelets, rings, vases, etc. 1t is
tough, compact stone. Its color varies
from an almost pure white to a dark
Or pale green. Jade was one of the
drst materials used in tie making of
weapons and utensils during prehis-
Loric times. There is a coarser or
mere common variety of the stone
known as jaGeite that Was used in
making axes and weapons. The jade
was and is highly priced by the peo-
pie of the Orient for ornamental pur-
poses and carvings. The Chinese name
.or it is 'yu-shih, which means Jade
stone.
For ages past the main and principal
supply of Jade has come from the Kara
Kash valley of Eastern Turkestan. 1t
s also found to some extent in New
Zealand. the Islands CT the Pacific and
South America; but tits is the first
time that 1t has ever been found on

AProblem For Scientists.

Professor Reitter recently introduced
TO the Society for Internal Medicine
in Vienna a woman with a musical
heart. For the last four years she has
suffered from palpitation, and about
eighteen months ago she noticed for
the first time a peculiar singing noise
in her breast, which was also audible
to other persons, and rose and fell in
strength and pitch. The sound is said
to be due to malformation of the
heart valves. which set up vibration.
