OBESITY RESULT OF MOTORING
age circus pc

A well known English magazine
writer comes forward with the start
ling statement that obesity among
fashionable women is increasing, and
gives the reason the use of automo-
biles. This will strike terror to the
hearts of the many women who are
inclined to stoutness and yet would
hesitate TO abandon the latest craze.
The theory is that lack of exercise is
the first step toward stoutness, and
since motoring has come into fashion
walking has gone out.
Nowadays those in the fashionable
world go about in automobiles and
never walk if they can possibly help
it. And the results are to be seen
in the Increased weight and waist
measure of any number of motor en-
thusiasts. Lack of exercise naturally
increases the flesh, but that is not the
only reason why those who use auto
mobiles instead of walking should
grow stout. There are several other
reasons. Rushing quickly through the
air sharpens the appetite, and at the
end of a long ride a good meal is
usually indulged in. Eating largely is
long step in the downward road to
obesity.
Another result of the rapid drive and
heavy meal is the desire to sleep. Moth
ing is more provocative of fat than
overmuch sleep. So, taking all these
reasons into consideration, II is no Won
der that obesity should follow the con-
stant use of the automobile. The only
remedy for the fashionable woman
seems to be nice division of her time
between motoring and golfng. for one
would no doubt counteract the bad
effect of the other.

CURIOUS PooRHoUsE

A workhouse or asylum for infirm
beasts and birds was established some
thirteen years ago by a society of In
fluential Hndus. 1t is near the Sode-
pur station, about ten miles from Cal
cutta, and is under the control of a
manager, with d staff of eighty SER
wants and an experienced veterinary
surgeon. In the place at present there
are 973 paupers-129 bulls, S07 cows, III
calves, 70 horses, 13 water buffaloes, 60
sheep, Is goats, 141 pigeons, "A cocks
and hens, cats, 3 monkeys and 8 dogs.
This remarkable asylum is described as
being most Systematically and merci-
fully managed The COW paupers have
good time of it, inasmuch
as on the occasion of the 'mela" ma
tives go from far and near to decorate
and worship them.

FIRST ILLUSTRATED PAPER

1t is a little surprising to learn that
the first journal to give illustrations
with any frequency was the Mercurius
Civicus, which came out during the
civil war in England with portraits of
Charles I. and his queen, Cromwell and
his officers and Prince Rupert. More
elaborate pictures dealing with the war
were, however, left to the pamphlets of
the time. The Frost Fair, on the
Thames, in 1883, was made the subject
of an interesting broadside, and so also
was the funeral of Queen Mary II. in
1896
With the eighteenth century the art
of illustrating actualities grew. Carl
catures abounded, now Of the Jacobites.
now of the South sea bubble, or similar
excitements. The Daily Post of 1740
afforded an example of a daily paper
attempting to illustrate current
event. On March 20 of that year it
published a detailed diagram of Ad-
miral Vernon's attack on Portobello.
The st. James Chronicle in 1865 pre-
sented it's readers with an illustration
of a strange wild animal that had ex-
cited much attention in France, but
this illustration was obviously imagiu-
ary. The Gentleman's Magazine in 1851
gave a portrait of Edward Bright,
fat man. In the Town and County
Magazine in 1878 there were portraits
of the heroes and heroines of many
famous scandal.

NEW USE EoR GLASS

A practical inventor and scientist,
M. Garchey, known all over Frence,
has made a very interesting expert
ment in Lyons. He has discovered an
entirely new method of melting all
kinds of old glass and transforming it
into material as hard and serviceable
as Belgian blocks In 1898 he obtained
permission from the municipal auth
critics of Lyons to prove to the world
the value of his discovery. The street
selected was a principal thoroughfare,
which was under continuous and heavy
traffic and yet the glass is still as sound
as when first put down. q
M. Garchey claims for "ceramo-cry
tal," as he calls it, that it can be manu-
factured at much more reasonable
figure than any other reliable building
material now on the market in Europe
or America, and that it is practically
indeStructible. 1t is also highly attrac-
tive and artistic in appearance, and M.
Garchey fully expects to see it. taking
the place of the building materials now
in use.

HARMLESS COFFEE

A variety of ills are traced nowadays
by medical experts to the use Of coffee.
coffee drinking is said by many to be
one Of the most dangerous forms of in
temperance. More coffee is consumed,
as all the world knows, than any other
beverage, alcoholic or otherwise. Mean
while the evil has been combated by
providing many ingenious substitutes
Imitation coffee has been made Of
cereals. Of nuts and even by ingenious
chemical combinations
According to the analytical chemists
our coffee contains caffeine and tam
min in dangerous quantities. In some
recent Investigations carried ON by the
United States dlspensary II was found
that the poisons contained in eight
ounces of freshly ground roasted coffee
produced quickened respiration, rapid
pulse. violent heart action and great
restlessness. Following up these ex-'
periments the patient suffered from
mental anxiety, sleeplessness and mus
cular tremor. The symptoms of this
patient who had taken into his sys-
tenn some twelve grains of tannin and
caffeine, form what happens to many,
if not most, coffee drinkers, in the
long run. There is ray of hope, how
ever to the lover of good coffee. Chem
lists have discovered a method of treat
ing coffee with digestive ferments'
which removes the tannin and caffeine,
or, in other words, the poison, without
in the least affecting the flavor The
product, chemists claim, has all the
nutritive and stimulating properties of
ordinary coffee; in fact is regular
coffee with the poison left out. Many
medical experts go as far as to claim
that the tannin and caffeine in ones
morning cup of coffee in the long run
are far more dangerous than would be
the most powerful of alcoholic drinks.

OUr OLDEST CITY

Nnety-nine people out of hundred
If asked to name the Oldest city within
the borders of the United States would
probably say st. Augustine which was
founded in 1865. But this is not now
correct, for since the Spanish Ameri-
can war, which brought about
change in the boundary of the United
States, the settlement of Ponce de Leon
at Caparra is older by fifty-five years.
The exact location of the historical
Caparra was discovered accidentally
by DR.. Harrington of the San Juan
weather office. Hearing from the ma
tives along the road to Pueblo Viejo
of their tradition of the first Spanish
town in Puerto Rico, he procured
guide and made an examination of the
nearly extinct ruin. without doubt,
he says, "the ruins / found were those
of the first settlement established by
the explorer and colonizer Ponce de
Leon. Both local tradition and history
name Caparra as the earliest town on
the island and agree on the same site
near Old Village, or Pueblo Viejo.
EVEN the native negroes, SOME OIL
whom could neither read nor write,
knew the story of Caparra. My per-
sonal Investigations showed me the
correctness of their traditions The
only remains of the original town visi-
BILE now are the ruins of a church,
hospital and a repaired limestone fur
nace Most of the stone from the
church, houses and hospital had been
used, according to the natives, in the
construction of highways. A histori-
cal landmark near is the reputed gold
mine worked by the first Spanish set
tiers. Ponce de Leon is said to have
greatly enriched himself by the COM
pulsory labor of the native Indians in
the mines"

HAND ORGAN EARL

CLAIMANTS of the various titles
of nobility are common in Eng
land. Many of the peerages and
lesser titles, with their estates, have
been bitterly contested for years. The
most picturesque of these claimants
in all English history is said TO be a
man who some time ago made the
claim that he was the rightful Earl
Poulett. To advertise his claim the
pared a large sign stating his claim,
and, fastening this to a hand organ,
made a tour of the streets of London,
He explained that this was his only
means of making a living.

An average waltz takes a dancer
over three quarters of mile; a
square dance makes him cover
half mile. A girl with a
well filled program travels thus in one
evening: Twelve waltzes, nine miles;
four other dances at half mile apiece,
which is hardly fairly big estimate,
two miles more; the intermission stroll
and the trips to the dressing room to
renovate her gown and complexion,
half mile; grand total, eleven and a
half miles.

PEARL FISHING

TN Russian Finland fishing for pearls
is one OF the most profitable of the
laborious work. The fisher sits, or
rather lies on curious raft, made of

which contain the precious pearls. The
pole he uses is very crude affair. and
is much less effective than the rakes

York State Folk.

The Tabor Grand opera house open
ed for the season yesterday and the
bill was York State Folks" 1t was
well chosen as an opening bill, be-
cause it is light and pleasant enough
for the August days.
The little play is the latest of the
many pastoTa successes, although it
has been befL Q the public for five
seasons, and it well deserves the sue
cess with which it has met. 1t is vi
rile, p%alpitating with the quaint life of
a little village up York state, yet typi-
cal of all country towns. Like its pre-
decessors it has within it the homely
things that appeal to almost every
man and oma OF course it Is mo-
raj, of course there is no deep dyed
villain, and all the trouble that is
eventually righted is due to mistakes
and village gossip, but the most base
playgoer has to yield to the charm of
its simplicity.
The company presenting the play
this year is in many respects superior
to that of last season. Albert Knott
and l.. ] .Loring las the aged Myron
and Simon Peter, are strong, and do
some fine character work. Rhea Ac-
ton and Elinor Kirchaw are charming
as the young girls of the cast. There
is a long array of character roles and
they are admirably done.
The opening audiences were both
very large in spite of the warm wealth
er, and apparently they enjoyed the
opening engagement of what gives
promise of being a most successful
theatrical season.-Denver Republi-
can, August Is.
