LOCKS AND KEYS.
Their Use Can BE Traced Back to
the Ancient Egyptians

According TO Demon, locks and keys
can be traced back 10 the ancient Egyp-
tians, more than 1000 years ago. This
is inferred from the sculptures on the
great temple of Karnak, which closely
resemble locks still in use there
clumsy, massive wooden locks, in which
three pins drop into three holes in the
bolt, when ii is pushed in, and are
raised by corresponding fixed pins on
the big key. Similar locks and keys
are found at Mosul near Nineveh, the
key being more than foot long, quite
clublike and often carried on the shoul-
der.
Keys are also mentioned at the siege
of Troy, 1893 b. C. The Ph9nicians
are said TO have exchanged locks for
tin from Cornwall Occasional notices
of them occur in many Greek and Ro-
man writer's, pliny ascribing their in
vention TO Theodorus of Samos Bronze
and iron keys have been found in the
ruins of Pompeii.
Possibly far more ancient than these
are Chinese locks, with springs and
tumblers, some of them musical, almost
exact counterparts of the famous
Bramah locks of England in the eight
eenth century.

GERMAN WORK PEOPLE.
Their Amusements Are Few and
Mostly Confined ia Sunday.

Amusements play comparatively
small part in the lives of German work
people, and such as they have are most
~ confined to Sunday. Games have
not taken hold OF them: they go TO no
football or cricket matches, although
there are matches, and other classes In
Germany show growing taste for
games and sports. | went to see a
football match between Dusseldorf and
a nelghboring manufacturing town. A
similar match anywhere In manufac-
turing England would have attracted
from 10000 to 10000 Sons of toll, who
would have shouted themselves hoarse
from beginning TO end. At the Ger
man match not one put in an appear
ance. When left the field toward the
close OF the game the spectators. who
had slowly increased during the after
noon, numbered exactly sixty-fiye. They
were not workingmen, and they show
ed no excitement whatever. They
played the association game, not very
well. The national game in Germany
is kegel. a kind OF skittles. and II Is
played at public houses, but not by
worklngmen or seldom by them. They
play cards sometimes, but not great
deal. In short, games may be ruled
out as an item in Industrial life. Thea
ters and music halls count for more,
but for nothing like so much as In Eng
land and in America. They are less
numerous in proportion TO population
and are only visited by the working
classes to a limited extent on Saturday
and Sunday.-Detroit News and Trib-

why Little Folks Are Big Eaters.

1t has been laid down as a physiolog-
ieal rule that the requirements of adult
diet depend not on the weight of The
eater, but on the extent of his bodily
surface. In the case of children this
rule is further modified. An infant
may weigh one-eighteenth as much as
grown man. but its surface is more
than one-seventh as great. As the first
requirement of the infants food Is to
replace the heat that is continually be-
ing lost by radiation from all parts of
the body, the latter fraction determines
the needed proportion of nourishment
rather than the former. But in the
ease of growing child food is also
needed to supply the increase of bodily
weight. In all, an infants ration may
be five times as much as would be estl-
mated from its actual weight alone

PHYSICAL ACTIVITY.
Nothing Else Can Supplant II as =
Preseryer of Youth.


Next to air and food in the human
economy comes exercise We may have
plenty of fresh air and a proper allow
ance of the right kind of food, and yet
without helpful daily exercise these
will not avail to keep the body In good
condition. In answer to the question,
why do we grow old?' French
writer gives these three reasons: I'VE
do not get enough physical exercise in
the open air. we are poisoned by mi
succeeded In destroying, and we are
depressed by fear of DEATH OF the
three reasons 1t will be noted that he
gives the place of first Importance to
lack of exercise. There is nothing else
which can take the place of physical
activity as a preserver of youth and
energy. Grow younger as you grow
older by cultivating a moderate love of
good, healthful, honest sport" is sound
advice. Walking, running, jumping,
rowing, playing golf, tennis or croquet
or any other milder form of exercise
in the open air keeps the muscles sup
pie and prevents the joints from stiff
ening, fills the lungs with life giving
oxygen and keeps the blood from be-
coming sluggish or the liver torpid. In
short. 1t is exercise that keeps the body
in tune and "up to concert pitch" just
as exercise keeps the voice OF music
instrument in perfect tone.

A conversation with prominent hat
ter developed the fact that among men
of large affairs where decided execu-
tive ability and strong mental equip
ment were requisite 1t was common to
find an increase in the cranial develop
ment A more detailed investigation
among some of the large metropolitan
hatters revealed the fact that many
of them had for years by means Of an
automatic measuring device kept rec
ords of peculiarities of the cranial out
line of many of our prominent men,
which had led to the discovery Ito
which, however, little importance had
been attached) that the skull often
shows a decided increase In size after
middle age.
Thus, il 1t is a fact that the human
eye depends largely upon the surround
ing bony structure for its size and pro-
portion, 1t can readily be seen that in
the case of an eye which presents abb
normal visual conditions due to an in
adequate development the increase In

From Lochiel there comes word that Sunday evening MT Charles Montgomery, the veteran scout and hunter, walked off from the the porch of the Cameron residence, sustaining a fall of ten feet, suffer- ing severe internal injuries. He had gone out from the dining room after supper, and was lighting his pipe as he walked alongin the dark, and unwittingly walked over the edge of the porch. While severe his injuries were not dangerous and at last accounts he was doing well.

Robbery Charged.

John Doe Fnlkenburg was arrested Sunday by Deputy Constable Jacob Meadows, charged by George Miller with robbery. Miller slept Saturday night outside tent near the big corrals down Eighth street, and when he awoke found that s2s s5O was gune from his pockets. He claimed that after awakening. de- fendant came and went through his pockets again but failed of results, as the original sum was the 'demnition total' of his assets. Judge Banta heard the charge Monday. morning on prelimi- nary examination. and dismissed the prisoner tor lack of evidence. Miller was in too hilarious n condition tO know what was happening to him, and 1t was just as likely to be blind pig as any thing else that got the money.

BuIIetIn Oa Best IrrIr.tIOn System.

The Department oi Agriculture will soon issue bulletin describing the methods of preparing land for irrigation and of applying water io croIs to differ cnt sections oi the arid region of the United States ln this bulletin tho meth-ls of getting rid oi sagebrnrh. smo thing ground, building latcrsls and distributing water over the fields as de- vclupcd by the experience "f farmers in irrigated districts are brought together and described.
 The bulletin brings out the fact, not we'll undrrztOnd, that th" cost "f pre- pairing land for irrigation is in many instances greater than the cost nf building canals aud reservoirs. De- tailed figures of the cost of checking land show that 1t varies in certain dis tricts in California from t9.96 to tlS.0S per acre. This is more than twice the cost of the canal systems in the San Joaquin valley, which was tI.99 per ir- gated acrc. When the preparing of land is contracted for. the cost oi check jug varies from t7.5O to so per acre.
 About thirty different methods of ap- plying water are now in use. This docs not mean tat there are thirty distinct systems, but includes different ways of preparing land by checking. compar'- ments, deep and shallow furrows. food ing, sprimkling and suh-irrigation.
 This bulletin gives some Cf the re- suits of a series of tests of different methods of applying water. and the difference im the loss of water by evap- oration in deep and shallow furrows and in flooding. About one and one-half times as much water was needed to IT, rigate an acre of land by flooding as was required in furruws twelve inches deep. About one and one-third times as much water was needed to irrigate in iuaruws three inches deep as in furrows one foot deep. A saving of ome-third of water by tn. adoption of a better sys- tenn would mean not only increased profits to the farmers. but n large in- crease in the acreage which could be ir- rigated from canals or reservoirs.
