The princess of Wied, who is q
prominent figure in the court circle at
Berlin and whose husband is in the
line of succession to the throne of Hol-
land, has developed a curious but hui
name hobby, In which only one of her
great wealth could indulge. She buys
all the ill-used horses that come to-
her notice and gives them the benefit
of stay in her well-appointed sta
bles. A period Of rest and kind treat
mert usually restores the unfortunate
animals to good condition and puts
them in working order again. Hun
dreds of broken-down horses have en-
joyed the princess hospitality and
have left the equine sanitarium "as

THE PACE THAT KILLS.
Physicians Arrangement Of Our Mod
ern Society.


ern Society.
Physicians in New York have been
startled by the alarming increase IN
the number of sudden deaths due
chiefly to heart disease. DR.. Glrdner'
author of New Yorkitis," makes
shortcut to the real cause of this
mortality when he says: New YORK
ers are driving themselves like beasts
of burden. They are working like
dynamos all day, and playing ike
idiots at night" To use an old phrase,
lney are going "the pace that kills.
We cannot lead the strenuous life
without paying for it. We may work
too hard, eat too fast, play lrratlon-
ally, sleep too little if we wish; but
nature demands its equivalent Merry
GUS strain means a weakened heart
and other organic troubles-often
sudden death. And all for what?
Merely to excel someone else in
money getting or in climbing the So
cial ladder.
If a man must work like a dynamo
all day he ought not TO pe an lulOt at
night And if he plays the idiot So
cially he should not be a business
dynamo. He may stand one or the
other and die from old age; but if he
tries them both it won't be long be-
fore something will break. The dy-
namo may burn out or the idiocy be-
come permanent.
The fact that we are living too fast
for New York has no monopoly on
the strenuous life-is not deduced
from sudden deaths alone. Nervous
strain means accidents, suicide, some
times even murder.
Is the game worth the candle? Is
any fortune or social position that
man can attain compensation for a
com bination OF dynamo and idiot?
What shall 1t profit man if he gain
the whole world and lose his own

One VERY Valuable Citizen

In recent address Dr. Emil Hirscll
paid tribute to 'the man who makes
us laugh" No one more deserves
the gratitude Of humanity than such
man. The great destroyer Of the
human race is worry The great en-
envy of worry is laughter. You can
not worry and laugh at the same time.
The man who makes us laugh" does
his part in relieving life of it's pains
and lengthening it's span. He delays
old age by prolonging youth. He
makes the poor forget for the time
that they are in need and while they
laugh they are as well off as the rich.

LOUISIANA NEWS.
Book Depositories at New Orleans.

DUN OSPoS'AoTicS al NCW OTIcanS.
Baton Rouge, La: The four general
repositories for the distribution of the
uniform text books adopted for use in
the public schools of Louisiana will be
located at New Orleans, Shreveport,
Alexandria and Monroe, and will be
maintained fer four years. This was
decided after J. B. Aswell, state super
intendent of education, requested an
opinion from each member of the state
board of education, the majority agree
ing upon the cities named. In the past
only two general repositories have
been maintained, both in New Orleans.
In addition to these four general depOs-
itories, the law provides that each par
ish in the state shall have not less
than one nor more than four local de-
positories. This law does not mean
that the publishing houses cannot
maintain more than four deposit tories
in parish, but means that they cannot
be compelled to maintain more than
four. In some of the larger parishes
more than four repositories are main
tanned. The contracts for these de-
positories are made by the publishing
houses with the local dealers in the
various parishes. The parish superin-
tendents of education are now filing
with the state superintendent informa-
ton as to the number of local dcposito-
ries that will be required in their re-
spective parishes. This information
will be forwarded at an early date to
the publishers, and they will act upon
it in making arrangements for the dis
tribution of their books.
