tiruously with a serious pain in the pit of MY

The Plymouth tribune. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1901-1911, 1905-04-06

The Revue Scientifque has been
asking what muscles tire soonest, with
the conclusion that it is not the mus
cles In use, but those under tension, al
though doing no work. The writer
urges Us to use the arms and legs less
and the back and neck more. for on
them comes the greatest strain. He
has been asking men of all occupations
the same questions:
When you have worked much, where
do you feel tired?
Before you were trained did fatigue
show Itself In the same regions?
All the answers point to the same
conclusions. The baker who kneads
dough all night complains Of fatigue
In his legs.
The blacksmith is tired, not in his
arms and shoulders, but In his back
and loins.
The young soldier, after a march, is
especially tired in the back of the
neck, even if he has carried no KNAPP
ack.
The oarsman who is in perfect train
ting after prolonged exercise gets tired
In his calves and insteps.
These facts point to the conclusion
that in any continued effort we should
try to alter the habit of contraction.
That is to say, the body, like the mind,
needs change of work.

REMOVING STAINS.

White linen or lawn that has been
stained with coffee can be freshened
by rubbing the spots with the yolk of
an egg, to which has been added
twenty drops of glycerine, stirred to-
gether. Rinse off with warm water.
Scorch stains on white goods may
be removed by squeezing a lemon
over the spot, sprinkling it with
salt, and placing it where the direct
rays of the sun will fall upon it.
When on delicately tinted cotton
goods, sprinkle the spot thickly with
cornstarch and place in the sun, COW
ering every part of the goods with
newspaper, except the part covered
with cornstarch. There really should
be no chance of scorch stains on
tinted goods, and there is no excuse
for using hot iron, a fat iron that
is merely warm being advised for
ironing all colored garments.

FROM oERIsIoN TO FAME.

Luther Burbank To-day Foremost In
in the World in His Line.
Scarcely a decade ago Luther Bur-
bank was virtually unknown to the
world. He was held in derision BY his
relatives, In pity by his friends, in
scorn by his enemies. He was de-
nounced by scientific men as little less
than charlatan, q producer Of spec
tacular effects, a seeker for the IN
canny and abnormal, an enemy to all
true scientific progress, a misleading,
though powerful, prophet of a new Or
der Of things that could never come
b pass.
One day a minister in Santa Rosa,
Cal, where Mr.. Burbank lives, invit-
ed him to attend church, that he
might listen to a sermon upon the
work he was carrying on. He accept
ed the invitation. and was forced to
listen to an address violently denounc-
ing him as foe to God and man, one
who was interrupting tho well-ordered
course Of plant life, destroying forces
and functions long established anil
sacred, reducing the vegetable life o.
the world to condition at once unnat-
ural and abnormal.
Going little further back in bis his
tory, to the period In which he first
attempted to carry out the work of his
life, we find him more than once
perilously near starvation In q land Of
plenty, but rising by sheer force Of
noble ideals above all temporal ills.
To-day Mr. Burbank has become the
foremost man in the world In the pro-
duction Of new and interesting forms
of fruits, trees, flowers, vegetables,
grasses and nuts. He has carried his
investigations far beyond the point
that he had reached when the minis
ter assailed him. Last year more than
six thousand men, embracing among
them the very pick and flower of the
scientific life of two hemispheres,
made the pilgrimage to his Santa Rosa
home to study the lines Of his inves-
legations, to see with their own eyes
many things which their scientific
minds could not accept as truth with
out visual demonstration, and to learn
some details Of the supreme results
achieved. During the year thirty thou
eand letters were received, coming
from every quarter Of the globe, ask
ing for more light upon his work.

Letter I'm Gun Stock.

Calvin II. Childs, a member Of e.
D. Baker Post 81, G.. A. R., of Clinton,
has a relic Of the Civil War which he
has valued as such for a number Of
years, says the Boston Globe, but
which he now considers more valuable
because Of a recent discovery that the
firearm has a hollow stock In which
Johnny Reb concealed some letters
and mementoes Of the times.
John Bennett, Of South Lancaster,
at the time Of the war, went to Peters
burg, Va, In search Of his brother-in-
law, Horatio e. Turner, news Of whose
Injury had been received. He did not
flrd the man and 1t was ascertained
later that, being wounded, he was cap
tured and died in the prison pen at
AIdersonville.
While ON the battlefield at Peters
burg Mr.. Bennett picked up a Confed-
crate rife and brought it home with
him. He retained possession Of it un-
til his death, and few years ago
his widow gave the gun to Mr.. Childs.
A few days ago, the latter was en-
tertaining his nephew, Fred Corliss, Of
Palmer. who, noticing a popularity Of
the stock, made an examination with a
screwdriver and a secret compartment
was disclosed in the wood
Included in the contents was q letter
dated Richmond, Va, Jan. s, 1852"
as follows: my dear friend John:
How are you getting along? l wish
could see you. 1 hope that when we
meet again we shall be one. I win
send you my picture and hope shall
be better farther on. The Yanks are
coming this way but we will fix them,
so keep good upper lip. We will
make al things ring when we meet.
Good-by, love, from your dear Little

her head, would get deathly sick and
have to leave the school room to get fresh

She took only few boxes, but they cured
her tree bles, and caused her to develop
