LUXURY AND GOOD HEALTH.
One May Enjoy Both in These Days
of Sanitary Foods and
Drinks.

There never was a time, perhaps, in
the history of the world when there
was such determined effort to find
and keep good health as at present.
Young and old are beginning to real
ize, apparently, that something must
be done to preserve bodily vigor.
Foods almost by the hundred are Of
fered as sure promoters of vitality
and attractive advertisements con-
tain more or less learned discussions
upon the value of strong nerves, pure
blood and clear brain, says the
Cleveland Leader.
. Those who do not live upon health
foods are devoting much of their
time to physical culture and nearly
every house in which there are young
people contains it's quota of gym
nasium apparatus. Outdoor and in
door sports have more devotees than
ever before. Golf, baseball, football
tennis, basketball, bowling and other
forms of amusement which induce
perspiration and increase the action
of the heart are depended upon to
supplement more physical culture, So
called, in building up strong bodies
and laying the foundation for good
health and long life.

PARIS BEHIND THE TIMES.
First Building with American Con-
veniences and Comforts Only
Recently Erected.

1t is only of late years that even
the more pretentious homes in Paris
would create any enthusiasm in the
minds of Americans, accustomed as
they are to many conveniences which
are considered great luxuries in
France, says the Architectural Rec
ord.
1t is no unusual thing to see a cart
with a yellow-painted bathtub and a
tank of hot water stop before houses
in fashionable quarters.
Elevators have just come into gen
eral use, and, with the exception of
those of American manufacture, are
usually slow, uncertain and compll-
Gated in mechanism. Wax candles are
to be seen in the chandeliers as often
as electric lights.
Things are, however, changing, and
last year in the avenue du Bo:s de
Boulogne model building was erect
ed. which combines French elegance
with all the American comforts. 1t
is of white sandstone, in late Louis
XIV. style, with the entrance at the
side through heavy iron and glass
gates.
The building consists of two "ho-
tells or private residences. and enc
apartment The first "hotef' occu-
pies the first two floors. the apart
ment the third. and the second
"hotel'' the fourth and fifth. The
rooms for the servants are on the
sixth floor.
The "concierge' or gatekeeper has
his lodge just inside the entrance
He opens the gates and has the ST.
pervi ion of tie general halls and
staircases, and also cha g. of the
heating of the entire house in Win

AN EFFECTIVE ALARM CLOCK
Not Only Awakes the Sleeper, But
Gives Him a JawinE ut
the Same Time.

"Ring-a-ding-a-ding- a ding! Get
up. you lazy loafer! It's seven
o'clock" Those strenuous words,
preceded by the tinkle of brisk lit
tie bell, caused visitor in a West
Philadelphia house to hop out of bed
the other morning with immense sud-
-denness, says the Philadelphia Rec
ord.
The words were so authoritative
that he had the same feeling of sub
mission he had when schoolboy and
his father called him. So he jumped
up now without question.
What had awakened him was a
photographic clock, an ingenious ar
rangement devised by his host, which
was so set that the same spring
which started the alarm started, a
moment later, Photographic at
tachment. The maker of the phono-
graphic clock said he thought of
patenting it.
"You see," he said, "the phono-
graph, speaking to you after the
alarm wakes you, can be made to
say different things-can be made,
for instance, if you have an impor-
fant engagement, to tell you of it
can be made to state emphatically
10 you, don't you know, the reason
why you should arise. Usually my
photograph says to me: Get up, it's
seven o'clock. Get up, or the boss
will dock you for being late"

RattIes of the Rattlesnake.

The rattlesnake's rattle consists of
q number of hollow, horny rings.
somewhat like quill in substance and
interlocked with one another, while
they are so elastic as to permit of a
considerable amount of motion be-

while in others only one ring may be

Allied Senses.

The sense of smell is most nearly
allied to that of taste. Hearing and
seeing depend upon nerve responses to
vibrations in the air in the ether. In
order to taste a subject it has to be
wholly or partially dissolved; in order
to smell a substance it must encounter
the olfactory organs as vapor, an en-
anation, cloud of particles arising
from odoriferous matter.

Chinese engagements.

A Chinese engagement dates its be-
ginning from the exchange Of red cards
between the parents Of the contracting
parties. These cards in many districts
are immense documents, almost the
size of q horse blanket. They are i'm
portapt for the reason that they are
used as evidence in case Of disagree
ments In the future. We seldom hear
In China Of broken engagements. Yet
If quarrel cannot be settled peaceful
" recourse is had to the law. and the
jvldge usually imposes fine upon the
party who has broken the contract.
The chief incident in Chinese mar
rage is the arrival Of the bride in her
bridal clothes before the house of her
chosen one. That is de facto fulfill
ment of the contract. The wedding day
is determined by the parents OF the
groom. The imperial calendar names
the lucky days. and on such days the
80 called red celebrations take place,
both in the cities and country.

THE OMNIBUS.
II Was Introduced by Blaise Pascal.
the Noted Mathematician.

1t Was Introduced by Blaise Pascal
the Noted mathematician.
No less Il parsonage than the famous
mathematician. Blaise Pascal, Is said
to have introduced the vehicle which
we call the omnibus" Unlike most
other men Of learning, Pascal was more
or less interested In the affairs Of prac'
teal l.fe. He was the inventor Of the
pushcart that now perambulates our
streets. says the Scientific American.
In 1861 he had large wagons built
for regular traffic in the heart of Paris
He allied himself In this undertaking
with several influential friends. among
whom was the Duke Of Roannes.
In 1862 Louis XIV. granted letters
patent to Pascal. In which it was said
that these carriages were intended fol-
the comfort Of poor people who had to
20 to courts of justice or who were
sick and so poor that they could not af-
ford to pay the two pistoes eXacted. by
the chairmen and the drivers OF
coaches.
At first the use Of the vehicle was
not generally permitted. A royal de,
cree forbade Its use by soldiers, pages
lackeys and other liveried servants. as
well rs artisans and porters.
Pascal in spite Of the fact that he
only lived to be thirty-nine, is said to
have made no inconsiderable sum out
Of his invention.
After the vehicle had been in use
some sixteen years 1t was abandoned
for various reasons. 1t was not until
1912 that 1t was again introduced. this
time in Bordeaux. which city was fol-
lowed in 1921 By Nantes and In 1927
by Paris. The vehicle was improved
and rapidly became popular. Now 1t
has been almost displaced by the tram
way.
In modern times the vehicle was
called an omnibus simply for the rea-
son that 1t was intended for the car
riage Of all, without any restrictions as
to lackeys, pages or footmen.

Marriage and Crime.

It is said that statistics prove that in

eight criminals, while In every 1000
married men the criminals number only
eighteen. If this is So 1t surely proves
that the present day members Of the
sex labeled coy and hard to please have
at least an immense capability for
keeping men out Of mischief, sufficient
to outbalane perhaps even the unkind
reputation handed down the ages by

High TEMPERED Children.

High temper in small child must b.

Kicking, stamping the feet, and thrash

do not show anger yourself. Above all
do not even grant requests or favors thai
the child thinks he can gain by having
tantrum. Let him understand from his
birth that crying or making "a scene
will never gain the indulgence, and he
will soon learn to abandon such un
pleasant tactics. AS he grows older and
can be reasoned with he should be taught
to overcome the beginnings of temper
and to struggle against hasty words and
anger. Most quick-tempered children
have affectionate, generous natures that
are easily influenced for good if the les
sons are begun very early in life and ad,
ministered with loving patience and tact.
Each success makes the next effort at
self control easier.-Exchange.

The Leverage In n screwdriver.

1t is sometimes supposed by persons
imperfectly informed in mechanics that
q long screwdriver gives greater lev
erage than q short one. This, how
ever, is incorrect. The action Of q
screwdriver, the pressure Oh which Is
direct. is not in any way analogous to
that Of a lever. The superiority Of q
long screwdriver rests simply on two
facts-irst. you can generally get
better grip on a long screwdriver than
on a short one and can bring the whole
weight Of the body and strength OF the
arms to bear on it, and, second, the tor
sion of tie iron In long screwdriver
comes In to supplement the force en-
ployed. The only way in which lever
age can come in Is in connection with
the breadth of the point Of the screw
driver, and even this counts for moth
ing beyond the breadth Of the head of
the screw.

Bride at Last Said "obey.'

she refused, and shut up my book.
Then there was scene. They talked

ly she refused. The parents became
angry, the groom excited and the bride
historical. To humor her he Joined in

But l liked the fellow, and decided
that little sternness from me in the

thority to change it, and would not do
so. l tried to show the fo0lishness OF
her objection, but it was no use.
Finally, l said to him, swell, this

little happier or little better this day.

There is double grace in good actions
