A VERSATILE M
OF the Things For Which
Phoebe Bown Was anne

Phoebe Bown died something over
half a century ago, aged eighty. This
extraordinary woman, who lived with
her mother in a cottage nearly opposite
the High Tor, at Matlock Bath, Eng
land, could walk nearly forty miles a
day when young, could lift O hundred
weight in each hand and carry fourteen
stone. She undertook any kind of man.

the team, ~thrashing wheat with the
fail and matching the stacks. Her
chief avocation was breaking horses at
a guinea q week. She always rode
without saddles and was considered
the best Judge of horses and cows in
the peak.
But Phoebe had also a liking for
sport and for art. She was a good shot
and carried her gun on her shoulder.
She was fond of Milton, Pope and
Shakespeare and performed on several
instruments, including the flute. violin

Muscles That shut out Cold.

'"The muscles Of the skin need train
ing to educate them to contract vigor-
ously on the slightest cold" says a
medical writer, "to shut the blood out
of the skin so quickly that the precious
body heat will not be lost. You notice
that when the skin is cold there is a
goose skin appearance. This is due
to the contraction of the little muscles
Of the skin. The contraction of the
muscles congresses the external blood
vessels and drives away the blood from
the surface, hardening and t~hickening
the skin, which thereby becomes a bet
ter n]onconductor. Thus the body tenn
perature is maintained.
"It is because of the constant expo
sure to cold that the Indians body is
all face The skin of his whole body,
not only that of the face, has learned
to take care Of itself"

Some OF the Earliest Examples of the
Art Preventative.
The following are the earliest known
examples of printing-two indulgences,
printed usually on one side only Of a
single piece of vellum and two magnif-
icent Bibles. OF these one is known to
be the first complete book that ever
was printed by the wonderful new in
vention, which, as the early printers so
often proudly state in their colophons,
produced letters without the aid Of
any sort of pen, whether of quill, Of
reed or of metal"
The first piece of printing which Ia
actually dated is the famous indul-
gence of Nicholas V. to such MS should
contribute money to aid the king of
Cyprus against the Turks. This indul-
gence has the printed year date 1454,
and a copy i'll The Hague museum has
the date "Nov. IL filled in with a pen.
Mr.. Duff tells us that sin the years
1454 and 1455 there was a large de-
mand for these indulgences, and seven
editions were issued. These may be
divided into two sets, the one contain
ing thirty-one lines, the other thirty
lines, the first dated example belong
ing to the former
This thirty line edition is shown to
have been printed by Peter Sciioefffer

Times and places there are where the
tarpon have been so numerous and SO
free in their antics as to be a pest to
the small fishermen, who in a certain
bay once harpooned a lordly fish, lash
ed him to a keg and pointed him to the
open sea.
Drawing the floating barrel, he went,
splashing terror to his kindred, an
aquatic scarecrow. And as the mill

twelve stone fish, went marching down
the bay all tarpon, great and small,
took warning that they must keep their
performances within the bounds of de-
