Every one knows that nerves are del
icate things. easily disturbed and diff
cult to keep IN order. Mr.. Underfoot,
loyal husband that he was, had learned
this lesson.
Yes, the doctor said Jenny ought to
have change Of air. and she's gone to
a kind Of rest cure place for awhile"
said Mr.. Underfoot to one of his old
friends, while his gaze was carefully
fixed ON the distant landscape.
Tired out? inquired the friend.
NO." said Mr. Underfoot slowly,
"she wasn't tired out, for she hadn't
done anything to tire her. But she was
always kind Of high strung. and to-
ward the last of it she got real nervous.
One day l just happened to inquire
what time dinner was to be, for 1t had
varied about two hours one way or an
other, and she was making molasses
gingerbread. and my asking that Ques-
ton upset her nerves SO that she pour
ed the batter right over me before I
could move Off So next day she went

Charles Mathews, one day previous

Once upon Il time. when there was no
such thing as sugar-lovcrs of lollipops,
only think of it-beeS were of much
greater value than they are now, for
honey was then the chief if not the
only swectener, and wax was largely
used in the making of very fine can
dies for affairs and royal banquets.
Some of the laws of old Ireland so
green and of little Wales dealt with
the subject Of bees, which shows how
Important as we'll as industrious were
these busy insects. Every owner of
bees was required to distribute some Of
his honey among his neighbors every
third year. Why? Because his bees
had gathered their honey from the
opening flowers on his neighbor's
lands. There was a nice sense of JUS
tice for you. And some there are that
would like to see it applied al round,
even in the present day.

In answer to the query, How old are
typesetting machines? the London
Chronicle prints an extract from Il
copy of the Birmingham Herald Of
1923: DIR. Church is now at Birming
ham preparing his new printing ma
chine. The compositor has only to sit
down at this curious mechanism as he
would ut Il pianoforte, and as he strikes
the keys the types all fall from the
case into their proper places with a
velocity that keeps pace with the most
rapid speaker. The form having been
worked off, the type moves into the
melting pot, from which it Is returned,
recast into its original state without
any diMinution of material and thence
distributed into the case quite new.
One of these machines placed ut the
bar of the house of commons would III
ways insure correct report of the de-
bate. DR.. Church, the inventor, Is
native of Boston, in New England"

THE LOST ARTS.
Many Abandoned Because New
Knowledge Makes Them Useless.

Many Abandoned Because New
Knowledge Makes Them Useless.
Not as much as we used to, but &C.
casionally even yet, one hCars of some
wonder accomplished by the ancients
which cannot lie done now.
Not so many years ago it was quite
commonly asserted that modern work
men could not quarry or, having quar-
ried, could not handle stones as large
as the monoliths of Egypt, and the
writer has heard a public speaker of
note assert that it would be impossible
70 handle with modern implements
Euch large stones as were used In the
pyramids or to join them as perfectly
as they are joined there. Yet. when &C.
casiOn arose, larger stones than any OF
the larger monoliths themselves were
transported not only to the sea. but
across it. and erected in England,
France and America, and there are in
dividuals today who might, IL they
chose, cause the transportation to and
erection i'll this country of the largest
pyramids OF build new ones ten times
larger and more durable. Pyramids
are not being generally built nowadays
because they are not in line with the
trend of modern ambition; that's all.
1t is very doubtful If a Damascus
blade" would stand half as severe
usage as modern band saw blade or
even as much rs the spring of forty
cent clock, while the Communications
of those wondrous blades, so far as the
mechanical execution Is concerned, can
be eXcellcd by apprentices and ANA
teurs of today.
OF the lost art" of hardening cop
per little is heard of late years. though
one occasionally hears wiselinS from
the wilds wish that he knew how to do
it as we'll as the ancients, and while it
is perhaps regrettable that he doesn't
his ignorance is his own fault.
Many arts and devices have been
abandoned because new knowledge
has made them useless, and time spent
in rediscovering them would be worse
than wasted. The modern youth had
much better spend his time studying
the art of his contemporaries than that
which is Cost Scientific American.
