re Curve of Health

The Expression the curve of health
which was first used by Oliver Wen
dell Holmes. himself a physician, indi-
Gates in modern mathematical fashion
the i%uctuatiug changes in bodily
health. of which all are at times aware
and which may be expressed by vary
ing curves outlined on paper.
Many imagine that the normal state
of health is best represented by a
straight line. This Is by no means the
case. There is a rhythmic undulation
in the flow of u vital force. The dy-
namo which furnishes the working
powers of consciousness and action has
its annual. monthly, daily waves, even
its ~momentary ripples. We have our
bad times and good times. Some by
careful observation of the rise and fall
of this curve, have so adjusted their
holidays and times of restsand activity
as to conserve their energies and avoid
the snares of disease. 1t is from his
knowledge of this curve that the fam
lily physician can act successfully.

Let the Cat out Of the Rnr

A certain English i~nnkeeper's family
conducted a weekly rattle. In this rattle
the prizes We're turkeys, ducks, young
pigs, baskets of eggs and such like
rural commodities. A quantity Of
steel disks numbered from i to 25.
were put into a black bag, and the lit
tie daughter Of the innkeeper put her
hand in the bag and drew q disk for
each Spectator in turn. The person
whose number was the highest got the
prize.
Well, 1t had been noticed that the
lnnkeeper's wife got the prize pretty
frequently, but nothing was thought
of this by the simple, honest rural folk.
One evening. though, the little girl,
with her hand in the bag, paused. 1t
was her mothers turn, and she did not
draw forth aer mothers disks in her
usual quick and careless way. She
rummaged about. The other raff1ers
looked at one another oddly. The inn
keeper said:
Come, come. child, hurry up"
but, father" said the little girl, 81

the old problem as to which, the

The other day the question was
presented to him, and after a little
reflection he replied: "When Noah

laid two. When the ark landed
the hen came out of the hatchway."
This solves the problem in favor of
the egg.

New Burbank Wanted.

A Burbank is badly wanted in the animal world. Why, for instance, should wool not grown on elephants. We don't know how many square feet of hide an elephant possesses, but he must have an area equal to that of a whole flock of sheep. Consequently, a man owning six or seven merino ele- plants would become wealthy in a short time, especially as his flock could chase away all the cattle that happened near the range. Further, the elephant is so intelligent that he could be taught in few lessons how to wash and shear himself, pack up the wool and transport it to market. Portland Oregonian.

Wipins Out the Desert

"We have no usless American acres," said Secretary Wilson in speaking of the work of the depart ment in introducing new plants and improving methods of agriculture. "There are no bad acres, we will make them all productive. We have agri- cultural explorers in every far corner of the world, and they are finding crops which have become so acclimated to dry conditions, similar to our own in the west, that we will in time have plants thriving upon all our so-called desert lands. We will cover this arid area with plants of various sorts which will yield hundreds of millions of tons of additional forage and grain for western focks and herds. Our farmers will grow this upon land now con sidered practically worthless"
 A tireless activity is being displayed by the department in the reclamation of great areas of the central west through the far-reaching work of our agricultural explorers who are tra- versing lands in the interests of the American farmer, especially the high dry plains and steppes of Central Asia, the Cradle of the World, where agri- culture reaches hack from history in- to dim tradition. The activities of Mir. Wilson's department bode i'll for the continuance of any very great stretches of our once limitless American desert.

TRICK WITH SILVER COIN.
Simple Performance Which Is Apt to Surprise One on First Ex-
 hibition.

Here is way in which you, too, may join the ranks of those who control the magic power over the seen and the unseen. It is, per haps, very humble experiment. with which to introduce youself into the wizards circle. Yet it will demonstrate conclusiyely that you have the same power tin sense) as the greatest practi- clans of the black art, says the Boston Herald.
 Procure an empty basin. Set it near the edge of a table. Place d coin in the center of the bottom. Then ask one of the spectators to first stand alongside the basin and Il en to walk slowly backward un- til he coin is hidden from his eye by he rim of the bowl.
 Now direct the person to watch the lowl intently. Make him ad- init that he sees nothing. Then moGestly state that you will cause the coin which he knows is in the bot om of the basin, though invis- ible to him, to become visible wit tEout his moving an inch or you tor hing it.
 Ie says it can't be done. You cal for pitcher of water; pour it slowly into the basin, until it is ahoath9lffull. Whenit settles the result will be that the coin will ap. pear perfectly visible to the eye of the surprised onlooker, and you will have proved your power to make the invisible become visi- ble-in this case at least.

MEAT-EATING AND TEMPER.
Ia Proof of Plausible Theory National Appetities Are Presented by
 This Writer

A writer i'll the New York Tel egram asserts that meat eating is responsible for most of the bad temper that exists in the world. To prove his point he claims that the English, who are thought to be the heaviest meat eaters, have also the worst dispositions.
 If you go to France" he says, ''you don't get much meat. The French like fruit, vegetables, sal ads, little fish and q little chick. en. I'd venture to say that an Englishmen eat more meat in d day than d Frenchman does in week.
 WI hat effect on his disposition does the Frenchman's less gross food have? \ good effect. The French are polite The world over they are noted for their politc&eSS and good humor.
 But the Japs prove my point best. The mass of the Japanese people live on rice and fruit and sweetmeats and fish. They don't touch meat from one years end to another. And their temperance and delicaey at table give them the best dispositions in the world On the streets of Japan there is never any fighting or quarreling You never see a disturbance of any kind among that people. Tol. eranee, courtesy, high-bred and ceremonious manners are as prev alent in Japan as grumbling in England.
 What is the philosophy of all this? Why. simply. that meat is a stimulant. like beer, and that after the brief, happy effect of this stimulant has worn off, there comes long effect of ill-humor and irritabilitv. All heavy meat eaters have bad dispositions. be- cause they are always suffering from their foods aftermath-be- cause they are always. so to speak, getting over a spree.
 "This holds good. too. among animals. Lions. tigers. leopards, and the rest of the carnivora are fierce and treacherous and mean. The herbiyora-elephants. ante lopes. camels-are good-tempered, mild creatures:

TALES ABOUT SMART DOGS
Big St. Bernard Runs Grindstone and Meat-Chopper-Newfound-
 lands Trouble.

I%fbl1dAot o R~bdI " IAN}ds OA the Orange house at Orange, Mass, is the owner of a big St. Der nard dog that is making himself exceedingly useful about the house. According to the Boston Globe, Mr. Reed has had construct ed a machine of the tread-mill pat tern i'll which the dog has been taught to work. This machine is attached to a shaft which can be connected by belts to a grindstene, q meat chopper and an ice-cream freezer.
 The dog likes the work and will take his place in the machine vol. untarily when he sees that things are in readiness for his period of labor. When his stint is done, the knives sharpened, the hash made up and the daily supply of ice cream properly frozen, his stipend is a generous allowance of meat and a word of praise, which he seems to fully understand and ac- cepts with a joyful wag of his tail.
 The dog is not yet two years old, but weighs about 140 pounds, and his master expects that with in- creasiag age and consequent in. crease in ayoirdupois and wisdom his scope of usefulness will be con. siderably broadened.
 Nero, large Newfoundland dog owned by a resident of Dover, Mass, was so heartbroken recent lvover his carelessness in dropping into the canal a luncheon that he was carrying that he nearly killed himself to regain the parcels and refused to come out of the water till they were fished up, says the Boston Transcript.
 Nero started from his masters home for his ship with lunch pail and some coffee in a glass bottle i having a handle by which it could be carried. He suddenly seemed to remember that he could shorten the trip bya quarter of mile by go- ] ing across lots and over the foot. bridge of the canal. The bridge is q narrow plank and in crossing Nero had to be so watchful of his steps that he forgot to keep his jaws tightly shut on the coffee bottle and it dropped into the water. For getting that he had the lunch pail in his mouth Nero jumped in after 1 the coffee and thus lost both bur | dens.
 Then he began to plunge and swim around frantically in the ca nal. The accident had been seen by two boys and after they had watched the dog swim around for half an hour they went to the shop and told the owner about it. The latter hurried over and found the dog swimming about, plunging here and there, endeavoring to get the lost luncheon. He called the dog to come out of the canal, but Nero would not leave the canal. All efforts to get him to the shore
 
 were fruitless. The dog was be- coming exhausted, but still he swan around, yelping piteously, grieyed and nearly heartbroken at having met with the accident.
 The owner saw that the only way to get the dog out of the water would be to fish up the lost lunch con. After about 15 minutes fish ing the dinner pail was pulled out and after that the coffee bottle. Nero then consented to come out of the water, but was so weak that he could not crawl out and had to be hauled up on the land. The dog had been swimming about for over an hour.
