The Hot Sand Bau.

We are all acquainted with the
virtues of the hot-water bag, but
many persons are not aware of the
fact that sand bag is even better
The way to prepare 1t is this: Get
some clean. fine sand: dry it thorough.
ly in kettle on the stove: make a
bag. about eight inches square. of
flannel; fill it with the dry sand. sew
the opening carefully together and
cover the bag with cotton or linen
cloth. This will prevent the sand
from sitting out and also enable the
person using 1t to heat the bag quick.

top OF the stove. After once using
this no further recourse will be had

Vegetation on the Moon.

Whether or not there really is
vegetation on the moons surface Is
a matter of some dispute. Prof. Pick
ering believes that there is, basing
his belief upon observations of what
he has called variable spots"-por-
tiOns which exhibit rapid darkening.
beginning shortly after sunrise. fol-
lowed by an equally rapid fading
toward sunset. accompanied by a
diminution in size as they darken.
From the peculiar character Of the
variation observed. Prof. Pickering
concludes that organic life resembling
vegetation Is the only simple explana-
tion of the changes which he has OBJ
served. Considering the long lunar
day as a miniature terrestrial year,
the theory of such life becomes color
able. The vegetation. II there be
any. shoots up. fiourishes and dies in
lunar day just as 1t grows and
withers on the earth in a terrestrial
year.

CHICKS HATcHED IN BED.
Bright Idea Of Russian Peasant Wo'
man that Worked Well.

Pathos and humor are combined in
a singular story from Russia, relat-
ing to a poor peasant woman living
near Vileika, who was left absolutely
destitute with six children to sup
port. AT last a luminous idea struck
her. She suggested to the neighbor
ing poultry farmers that she should
relieve them from the trouble and
expense of using incubators for hatch
ing chickens and turkeys.
They agreed, and the eggs, care
fully secured from injury in wooden
cases. and packed in wool, were plsc
ed in the children's cots. which were
constantly occupied. day and night
by the six little ones in turn during
the three weeks required for incu
baton.
As each of the cots contained 400
eggs-2O0s on each side-the human
incubators succeeded in Matching
1.2OO eggs at time, for which they
received l cent an egg, or $12 Their
earnings, therefore. for lying in bed
for twenty-one days amounted to ex-
actly "a week, sum far exceeding
the average wage of a Russian skill
ed workman in the country district.

NATIONAL SONG OF RUSSIA,
country's Hymn Dates Back to Reign
Of Nicholas l.

The Russian national anthem is the
only national hymn which was adopt.
ed as such in open competition. Until
the time of the Emperor Nicholas
the English God Save the King" had
served Russia. but Nicholas deter
mined to institute genuine and ma
tive Russian anthem. He announced
a competition open to all musicians
for an original national hymn. A
musical committee reduced the thou
sands of entries to two, and between
these. the works of Glinka and Lvoff.
the czar himself decided. The highly
martial character. with the drums and
trumpets, of Lvoff's composition won
the imperial verdict. and it was de.
creed as henceforth the Russian
national anthem.

How to Keep House.

With all the luxuries and pleasures
of this life. it's big enjoyments and its
smaller comforts, there is an offset or
antithesis which we have to contend
with in the form of aches and pains.
In some way and by some means
every one has a touch of them in
some form at some time. Trifiing as
some of them may be. the risk Is
that they will grow to something
greater and rack the system with con-
slant torture. There is nothing, there
fore. of this kind that we have a
right to trifie with. Taken in time.
the worst forms of pains and aches
are easily subdued and cured by the
free use of st. Jacobs Oil. No well
regulated household ought to be with
out a bottle of this great remedy for
pain. 1t is the specific virtue of pene-
tration in st. Jacobs Oil that carries
it right to the pain spot and effects a
prompt cure even in the most painful
cases of rheumatism, Neuralgia, Lum-
bago, Sciatica. You want 1t also in
the house at all times for hurts, cuts
and wounds, and the house that al
ways has it keeps up sort of insur-
ance against pain.

Boat Built Like Pneumatic Tire.

A boat large enough to carry six
persons may be carried in a valise or
a trunk. This is because the princi
pie of the pneumatic tire has been
applied with such success to boat
building. These boats are of two
kinds, either of rubber cloth inflated
with air and divided into two COM
partments. or of series of inflated
tubes coiled lengthwise. These are
fitted with pneumatic seats. and the
oarlocks are buckled on the sides.
When debated they are reduced to the
smallest conceivable weight and COM
pass, and the process occupies only a
few moments.

Japan La Land of Cluhs.

Japan is the ideal club land. In
this country the club world has a
good many class and other limita-
tions. But in Japan the system has
fourished from time immemorial, and

and conditions of. men. 1t is no un-
common thing for people of means to
belong to from ten to 100 different
clubs, benevolent or social. all of
which exist mainly to give the mem
bers an opportunity of one festive

are 5000 different societies. from the

Stole His Own Property.

A story which recalls Thomas In.
goldsbys Spectre of Tappington"
comes from the German town of
Tubingen. A certain jeweler of the
town complained to the police that his
house was burgled nearly every night
and that they had better do some
thing about it. A detective was set
to watch the shop. and on Monday
night he caught the thief. who, as the
reader has already guessed. was the
jeweler himself. He was somnam-
bulist. 1t seems pity that talent
for burglary should be wasted on
ones own property.

MAY Lose HIS Eye.

James Lyons, twelve years of age,
son Of William Lyons, met with a
peculiar accident while standing in
front Of his home II Washington
street, on Tuesday morning. He was
looking down the street, when sudden
ly he uttered cry and raised his hand
to his right eye. Vincent Azzara and
Others hastened to him and found
blood coming from the eye.
DR.. Johnson said that the eye had
been cut by some sharp missile and the
sight probably destroyed.
No one was near the boy at the time
and the theory is that a stone either
from a sling or thrown by the wheel
of passing automobile hit him.
