MADE HIM UNDERSTAND.
Least Intelligent Member of the Au-
dience Pleasantly Acknowl-
edged the Truth.

famous scientist whose early home
had been IN a country district had long
promised to visit the scenes of his boy
hood and deliver a lecture in aid of the
funds of one of the institutions of the
place. At last he fulfilled his promise,
and the lecture was given, relates London
Tit-Bits.
When, at its close, he was conversing
with some of the principal promoters OF
the affair they warmly congratulated him
on the facility with which he made his
rather technical matter interesting and
clear to his somewhat uncultured audi
ence.
Oh" said he, by way of explanation,
al invariably fix my attention upon that
member of my audience who strikes me
as having the least intelligent face, and l
continue to explain any subject upon
which l touch until l see By that per-
sons expression that he understands 1t. -
Almost directly afterwards the leading
public official of the little town came into
the room and made his way to where the
scientist was standing.
Sir" he exclaimed, you cannot pos
sibly believe how much real pleasure you
have given me tonight. 1t seemed to me
all the time as if your eye was never away
from me, that you spoke to me alone, and
that your whole wish was to make me
understand every word you said"

INGENIOUS INVENTIONS.

Every one who has stood beside a su-
burban road at night to signal a trolley
car, and has had to run several hundred
feet after it while the motorman tried to
stop for him, will appreciate new de-
vice which is coming into use on many
lines. 1t consists of a group of lights
mounted on a trolley pole, worked by a
button within reach of one standing on
the ground. Turning on the lights in
forms the motorman while he is still far
off that passengers wish to board the
car at the crossing.
"An invention which keeps rowboats
from tipping over and is a cure for the
boat-rocking fool is the subject of re-
cent patent" says the American Inven-
tor. "The device consists of a sheet OF
metal, curved around the bottom of the
boat, some distance away from it, and
fastened to the hull just below the wa
terline. AS the edges only are presented
to the water when the edges are in mo-
ton. the device offers practically no re-
sfstance The boat can only be rocked
with difficulty, however, owing to the
inertia of the volume of water between
the hull and the surrounding metal
which acts, when rocking is attempted
like an immensely heavy keel"

CHANGE FOOD
Some Very Fine Results Follow.

The wrong kind of food will put the
body in such a diseased condition that
no medicines will cure it. There is no
way but to change food. A man in Mo.
says:
For 2 years l was troubled so with
my nerves that sometimes 1 was pros
trated and could hardly ever get in
full month at my work.
my stomach, back and head would
throb so l could get no rest at night
except by fits and starts, and always
had distressing pains.
al was quite certain the trouble came
from my stomach, but two physicians
could not help me and all the ton1cs
failed and so finally 1 turned to food.
when 1 had studied up on food and
learned what might be expected from
leaving off meat and the regular food
I had been living on, I felt that
change to Grape-Nuts would be just
what was required, so l went to eat
ing it.
From the start 1 got stronger and
better until was well again, and from
that time l haven't used bit of medl-
cine. for 1 haven't needed any.
al am so much better in every way,
sleep soundly nowadays and am free
from the bad dreams. Indeed, this
food has made such great change
in me that my wife and daughter have
taken 1t up and we are never without

Avoiding Dilution.

A Kentucky colonel, who in every other
way showed his enjoyment of his Bour-
bon, always shut his eyes as he lifted his
glass to his lips. AS this is the way chill
dren are usually advised to take I'M
savory medicine, his friends wondered
that the colonel should show such an
aversion to looking at the beverage that
all the rest of Kentucky likes to gaze on
only less than to taste. Some one asked
him at last why he always shut his ewes.
He replied: 'Ah'm afraid if All looked

pay for the desired article.
We'll, never mind" said mamma;
you run out, Blanche, and get nick

Now, Blanche was not accustomed to
dealing on credit, and did not take
kindly to the idea, but was moving
very slowly to do her mothers bidding
when some words in large letters on
the top of the wagon attracted her at
tention and suggested an unanswerable
objection.
But he won't do it, mamma! Look
there on the wagon! 1t says: Not in
