Surgery Cures Idioey.

knife is promised by Partisan expert
ments. They have at least cured lido
.cy. The idea was conceived that lido
cy was frequently caused by the pre-
mature union Of the bones of the skull
in infants where no congenita1 causes
were apparent. Acting on this assupm-
tion, the French surgeons removed a
portion Of the covering of the skull on
several patients, the idea being that
the brain had no room to expand com
mensurate with the growth of the
child The results in many cases
proved the correctness OF the theory.
In some instances the results were
marvellous. One girl began to show
signs of recovering Intelligence the
day the operation was performed.

Al night | used to sit up with the
rest Of the social push and drink high
pans to make me sick, SO I could
drink saragota water in the morning
TO make me well.
That's what is called reciprocity, be-
cause it works both ways against the
middle.
Isn't it the limit the way people
from all over the country will rush
10 these fashionable summer resorts
with Wide-open pocketbooks. and with
their bank accounts frothing at the
mouth
The most popular fad at every sum-
mer resort I've ever climbed into is
to watch the landlord reaching out
for the coin.
Husbands make bets with their
wives whether the landlord of the ho-
tel Will get all their money in an hour
or an hour and a half
Both husband and wife loose; BE-
cause the landlord generally gets It IN
ten minutes.
At some Of the hotel dining-rooms
it costs six dollars to peep in, eight
dollars to walk Ii and fifteen dollars
to get near enough to waiter to talk

You can see lots OF swell guys in
the dining-rooms who are now using
fork in public for the first time
This reminds me of an experience
had in certain summer resort dim

At table near me sat Ike Goose
heimer
Ike is seIf-made man and he made
a quick job of it.
Ike was eating with his knife and
doing it SO recklessly that I felt like
yelling for the sticking plaster.
After I had watched him for about
five minutes trying to jugg1e the new
peas on knife, it got on my nerves.
SO spoke to him.
Ike" | said, thinking possibly |
might cure him with bit of sar-
casm, aren't you afraid you will cut
yourself with the sword?'
ooh. no, no" Ike answered, looking
at the knife with contempt; there is
no danger at all. But at the Palmer
house in Chicag o-Ahi there they
have sharp Rnives!'

The races at Saratoga were extreme
ly exciting.
A friend of mine volunteered to pick
out the winners for me, but after I
lost eight dollars I decided that it
would be cheaper to pick out new
friend.
But 1 do love to mingle with society
at the summer resorts.
It isn't generally known, but one Of
my great-grandfathers was present
when the original 400 landed at Plym-
outh Rock.
Ny great-grandfather owned the
rock
A couple Of nights after the origi-
nal 400 landed on Plymouth Rock the
leader of the smart set, Mrs. Won
Tweedledum, gave full-dress ball.
MY at-grandfather looked in at
the fulI-dress ball and was SO shocked
that he went and opened clothing
store next day.
Society never forgave him for this
insinuation.
But say, isn't it immense the way
the doings OF these society dubs are
chronicled in the society papers?

STANFORD WHITE AND THE WHITE HOUSE.
The recent tragic

The recent tragic death OF Architect White,
who was shot by Harry K. Thaw, attracted IN.
usual attention in Washington because he was
of the firm of architects that made the plans for
the renovation Of the old White House and the
construction of the executive Office buildings.
There has always been diversity of opinion as
to whether the expenditures, amounting to about
quarter of million dollars in restoring the
White House to its original design. were justified
In the opinion Of those of artistic taste it was
money well spent although the general public does
not appreciate what was done The original design
of the White House contemplated q terrace on
each side of the main building. This had never
been fully carried out, a huge conservatory on
the west, ugly structure of glass, wood and
iron, taking the place of the terrace. This was
removed and the extensions on either side are

Sheep-Good and Bad.

''No flock or individuals produced by
cross-breeding have yet been brought
to such a high standard of perfection
that they do not possess some weak
qualities, some of which are very I'M
desirable to have transmitted to the
progeny that is to be retained in the
flock" says Leo G. Reynolds. The
fact must always be kept wildly in
mind that in the law of reproduction
"ike produces like" and the progeny
will inherit the bad as well as the good
qualities of the parents and in most
instances the tendency is to produce
the former more surely. There seems
to be a natural tendency with all kinds
of live stock to degenerate and unless
a persistent effort is made to select
those that show greatest evidence OF
improvement the grading up process
will be a failure.
"The season is now at hand when
every fockmaster should be looking
his flock over carefully to determine
which are the good and bad sheep.
One great drawback tot he most effect
ual and permanent improvement OF our
flocks u.s. that f1ockmasters generally
do not study the individual qualities OF
their sheep, but depend too much upon
their average appearance. We should
give more attention to the individual
merit, so that in the Introduction OF
new blood desirable qualities will be-
come fixed and be transmitted to the
progeny with some degree of certainty.
With this improvement we'll establish
