The lower part of the tablet is divided into two columns. From January to June the left hand column contains course of lessons in six modern languages. while on the right hand are printed Schillers poems.
 For the other half of the year one col- urnn is filled with a novel of Jules Vernes and the other by a translation of the for eign words used most frequently in Ger man and aii epitome of history from Charlemagne up to the present time. At the back of the leaves are notes on myth ology, geography. law, arithmetic, cook ing and housekeeping recipes. The leaves are also So prepared that during the sum- mer they can be steeped in water as fly killers. and from October to April they can be made into cigarettes.

Ihe poynpadoar might as well be ac- cepted with the philosophy that declares what it is. Plenty of women have pro- *eAted against it ever since the time. half a decade ago. when Dame Fashion declared it to be de ri9eaxr. For a year ox SO previous hair had been in one of these transition stages that come be- tween eras of positive styles, and during that time women had been dressing their hasr in any number of ways according to Individual taste. Some chung to the de- 1nure part and the Psyche knot. others ndnpted the huge pun ahead of time. Huf Somewhere In 1898 or 1899 the pom na3bur suddenly found itself the only nArnzssibie style, and the women who don't like it have shown rebellious moods ever since.
 inc effect that 1t Is a vanishing style that the virginal part, the ''one moon nenxn from the forehead to the crown" 1s agafn to appear. But the fact remains xh&k the pompadour is still with us, and ki1at it is the uniform hair dressing for W0laen of fashion. Whether the back Anfx be worn high or low, the pun re- malna.

Oliver GOIdsmith's "Deserted Village"
 Goldsmith, In his Deserted Village" spoke of certain chapel where those who "went to scoff. remained to pray" So in life one often laughs at what he does not understand and later, when he does understand his laugh turns to praise. There were some who doubted the merits of Newbro's ''Herpicide," the scalp germicide and hair dressing; but since they have tried 1t, they are now among It's best friends and strongest endorsers Herpicide kills the germ that eats the hair off at the root, and the hair then grows again.

The Magnetic North.

The belief in the constancy of the magnetic compass to the north pole han not the least foundation in fact. At ev. cry different place on the globe it points in different direction, and only one or two of them are due north. In London. for instance, it points to a place aboat II degrees west of north. Seventy-sx years ago it was still further away. be- ing then 24A degrees, or a quarter of the way around to the west. In the year 1850 it pointed Il degrees east. Then fl began to move north till 1859, when 1t pointed due north. But it remained thus only for moment, passing around to its greatest deflection in 160 years. Again 1t turned in 1920, and is still nov ing nearer the north. It will not reach that point for nearly century and taIf, and so it will go on backward and &MEard forever.-N. '. Herald.

FINDS BOOK OF MORMON.
illinois Farmer Makes the Claim That He Dug Up the Oris inal
 Manuscript.

Interest. has been created at Carbon dale, III, over a discovery made by Marshal Fenrod, who lives on farm near Dangola. Recently Penrod gruhbed black oak stump out of a po- tate field close to his residence and found stone about a foot long and eight inches ill diameter. The peculiar shape of the stone, which 1esembled a pocketbook, attracted his attention and, upon close examination, he found carved on its face in the English Ian. guage the following worlds "This stone contains the original manuscript of Moroni (Mormon) Joseph Smith" ;" The ravages of time had apparently made but little headway on the stone and upon closer examination he found the stone was hollow and hole drilled entirely through it and at both ends red cedar plugs had been driven in Upon removing one of the plugs several sheets of parchment were found con- taining writing in hieroglyphics that coud not be deciphered.

QUEER ACCIDENTS TO GUNS.
MfshaDs on a British Battleship That Caused Fear Among
 the Grew

While the British battleship Thun. derer was off Milford Haven, Wales not long ago curious accident tc one of her guns caused much alarm among her crew, A target had been put out for practice with the ten-inch breechloading guns. When one was fired by electricity only a portion of the projectile was discharged, the base plate of the shot and portion of the frame being left in the gun. When the plate was removed the pres. sure of gas forced a portion of the projectile from the breech of the gan. On the second gun being fired hole about three inches in diameter was blown through the projectile, the other part of the base plate being left behind. The base plate was in this case separated from the rest of the projectile.
 Such accidents are believed never previously to have occurred on board any ship. There was much alarm among those in the turret, as the bursting of the guns was for time feared. It is suggested that either the powder in the projectiles was damp or there was water in the guns. So far as can be seen both guns are soyynd

RADlUM PLANTATIONS
boteAttst Thinks the Wonderful SaA. stance Can Be Used to Cure
 Pulmonary Tuberculosts.

Frederick Soddy. who was Prof. Ruth& srford, assistant at McGill university, h Montreal, has suggested another use for radium. He argues that as it hax been found to cure consumption of the skin Qupus). it should also cure con- sumption of the lungs, If its rays can be brought to bear directly on the diseased lung tissue. without any intervening substances. such as the chest wall. At first sight, says the Scientific American, this seems rather difficult thing to do, as it is, of course, out of the question to place any solid mass of radium within tho lungs themselves. But recent stud- les have shown that radium in asolution gives off gas and that this gas is itset radioactive. So all that is necessary to subject the internal lung tissue to the direct action of radium rays Is to breathe . mixture of air and the radium gas. By this means MT. Soddy believes new and valuable remedy for consumption will b, available to the pathologist. The rays from radium have already proved use tul in the treatment of several forms of skin disease, and 1t has been suggested that the insertion of minute particles of radium in the interior of a cancer is worth trying. It should be remembered, however, that even if radium proves val uable in the treatment of pulmonary tu- berculosis. its cost is so high-several hundred dollars a grain--that 1t could not come into general use under present conditions. .4r. g54 crg

HOW A TREE IS MURDERED.
An Instance Which Illustrates tn
 Difficulty of Destroying One.

A gentleman of means living in sub urban town tells how his mother once undertook to murder cherry tree. says tho Chicago Chronicle. T was | boy At the time," he said. "The tree stood on our lawn: it had been planted by my father, and he loved 1t with a parental Affection; but 1t was an eyesore to my mother, for she thought it spoiled the looks of the garden. ' %
 'She decided to murder 1t secretly. because she knew that my father would never consent to it's removal. For . long time she pondered, asking herself how she might kill the tree without be. ing detected. and finally she decided that she would use for her weapon boil. ing water. Accordingly whenever my father was away she would get kettle and, tiptoeing out to the tree with . yuilty look, she would pour boiling water upon it's roots.
 At first the tree showed no shange under this treatment. After . time, though, change began to manifest itself. My father noticed it.
 "'By jove,' he said, my cherry tree seems unusually fine and hearty
 And this was fact. The more boil- ing water my mother poured on tho roots the more the tree thrived and hourished. Finally, in despair, she gaW up trying to commit her vegetable mur der.
 "A florist, to whom she narrated this strange story one day, laughed when hs hoard it. He said it was no wonder the tree had gotten along go we'll. He de- clared that boiling water was often used on trees, as it killed off the worms and bugs -molesting them"
