There is story told of the eminent
DR.. Abernethy, who was as blunt as
he was learned. He was called to
prescribe for an old lady in failing
health, who prided herself upon being
and who looked the very pink Of neat
ness. Her dress was spotless and her
cap immaculate, and her friends spoke
Of her as that sweet old lady" After
much questioning. which was almost
impertinent, and careful diagnosis OF
the case the doctor said gruffiy,
MADAM, you are Ill because of filth"
OF course she was Mortified, but he
went on, "Your bed is not properly
aired, and in consequence you are be-
ing slowly poisoned to death"

PAPER MAKING MACHINES.
They Were Invented by Louis Rob

The inventor of machinery for paper
making. as distinguished from mere
pulping machines, was Louis Robert. a
clerk IN the employment of Messrs
Didot Of the Essonnes paper mills.
near Paris. In 1T9S he completed a
small model for a continuous web Of
paper on an endless wire cloth, to
which rotary motion was applied Con
tinuous length was thus secured.
though at first the width was only
that of an ordinary piece of tape.
A machine soon followed producing
a width Of twenty -four inches, for
which Robert had patent from the
French government and reward of
5000 francs. Messrs. Didot bought
this patent and the machines, and in
1901 induced well known English
firm Fourdrinnier to take it up.
Helped by clever young mechanic
named Donlzin Of hartford paper mills
they SO improved the machinery that

practical equipment of every paper

to read the proof of good map. If it

prehensiye as to small towns, we linger
over a proof and its successive revises
for month or six weeks before the
final electrotype is made. In mapmak-
ing it is not only essential that every
town should be in the map, but that it
should be In precisely the right place.
The man who is buying map or an
atlas has no use for it unless it gives
accurate information about the city OF

wife was born and where he was mar

to be Get it all in and get it in right .

why Twelve Is Called a Dozen and
Twenty "a score.
Dozen is from the French dou
zaine, collection of articles generally
numbered together. 1t is used in the
Herefordshire poems, 1890, and shows
French for the first time encroaching
upon English numerals. This enshrines
great historical fact. for from 1920 to
1880 1t was the custom to look to
France as leader of all Europe in art
chivalry, fashion. war and learning.
Score" for twenty came into the Ian
guage nearly at the same time. but
was not exclusively French. 1t comes
from the Anglo-Saxon scor. the root OF
shear, shire. scar and means to cut.
Our ancestors, to avoid the difficulty
of large numbers, used to keep ac-
counts BY cutting notches in stick
called a tally. and after twenty such
notches they cut Off the tally. which
thus became score" These were
used in England for keeping the ex-
chequer accounts. even to the begin

BACK FROM VACATION.

Back from my summer vacation,
In the noisy old town once more,
Away from the vicious mosquitoes
And the chiggers that sting and bore,
With my neck all raw and blistered \
And my hose as read as a beet,
I find that the city is welcome
And that life in town is sweet.
Back from my summer vacation,
Away from The worms that creep,
And the gnats that crawl down my
neckband
And bother me while I sleep;
Affair from the flies and the spiders
And the June bugs that biff and pelt;
1 am glad to get back from the country
And the loneliness l have felt.
And the soggy old stuff to eat.
Where a restaurant meal is a pleasure
And a table de'hote is a treat,
Where there's something to do besides
grumble
And something to do besides wait;
Where get my papers Zach morning
And they're never a whole day late.
Back from my summer vacation,
In the good old town once more.
Afar from the oppressive silence,
To the rush and the rout and roar;
In the city there's something doing,
There's joy in the meet of might
And the soul expands with the struggle
And grows in the shock Of fight.
From the Chicago Chronicle.
