Strain on Auto Tlres.

(Which tire Of an automobile wears
out first? Bet you can't tell me" said
the owner OF a big touring car TO q
group in a well-known cafe.
"Of course, you could do il In four
guesses, but, seriously, did any of you
ever stop to think about it?"
Every one present was more or less
Of an automobile enthusiast, but after
some reflection each admitted that he
couldn't tell with any degree Of GER
tainty which particular tire was likely
to go first.
We'll, keep your eyes open," said
the first speaker, "and you will notice
that in nine cases out of ten, especially
on touring cars, the trouble first be-
gins on the right hind wheel, then the
left hind wheel while the tire that
wears the longest, as rule is on the
left front wheel.
The reason? 1t ought to be clear 10
all of you. The tires on the right go
first because they get the most wear
Every time you turn out in meeting
another vehicle on the road, it's the

ruts, while the left tire remains on

The PIIIaper Indians,

A long, deep, clear and very cold
body Of water called Burnside Lake,
north of Lake Superior, near the Ca
madam boundary, contains, among 9TH
Ell 100 beautiful islands, a certain
sunny islet that is of great interest to
the archaeOlogist.
These islands and waters constitute
the hereditary home of the Pillager
Indians, who are pagans. One
of these islands Cknown as Flower
Island is, as it has been for genera
tons, the seat of the Plllager kings.
On it sleep, according to tribal tradl-
ton, over fifty successive Pillager
rulers, the ancestors of the present
chief or king, who, he says, must have
reigned an average of thirty or forty
years each, as he himself has been
chief for more than half a century.
Think of dynasty extending over a
period of perhaps twenty centuries!
The more modern graves are carefully
reofed with cedar bark, which, when
kept dry and away from the earth, is
almost imperishable. The very ancient
graves have been essentially obliter-
ated by the ravages of the elements.
At the head of each of the traceable
graves Is carved the peculiar heraldic
insignia of the king who sleeps be-
meath, and above him are placed re-
ceptacles for the mah-no-min wild
rice), fish, berries and other food which
are brought annually by the related
members of the tribes to appease, as
they suppose, the hunger of the depart

In a certain school district one OF
the trustees was crank on the subject
of fire, and when he visited a school
with the examining inspectors he al
ways confined his remarks to a ques'
ton addressed to the pupils as to what
they would do in case the building
caught fire. Knowing this little peeu-
liarity the master had coached his pll-
pills as to the answer which they should
give. When the visitor called, how"
ever, he simply said to them; you

lively to your masters remarks that l

On authoritative article on House
keeping on Half Million Year" is

Everybody's. In describing a formal
dinner, she says:
Eight men, exclusive of the butler
are required to serve a dinner of "a
covers, one being allowed for every
three diners Another is stationed in
the pantry to run in the courses.
Absolute order and silence reign
among these men, who perfectly un-
derstand the buffers caballstic signs
Electric signals pass constantly be-
tween chef and butler. From the
seating Of guests until the ladies
leave, not more than So minutes
should elapse, for long dinners are
now considered bad form.
Upon these occasions scarcely
member Of the domestic corps escapes
some special duty. The housemaids
assist the pantry-maid. After each
course twenty-four silver plates and
countless small silver must be care
ully cleansed, wiped very dry, and
then polished with chamois before be-
Ing put away. Nearly two hundred
pieces Of engraved crystal ware must
be washed and polished, and 1t is too
cotsly and brittle to be hastily
handled"

eAMnuoa- GROWING SCARCE
Worlds Supply is Steadily Decreasing
Each Xaar

Each Year.
According to an official of the Do
partment of Commerce and Labor, the
worlds supply of camphor is steadily
decreasing each year. The greater part
comes from Japan and its colony, For
mosa. OF late years the demand has
begun to exceed the supply, and the
question has arisen how the latter can
be maintained.
One of the reasons why camphor Is
becoming scarcer and dearer is said to
be that it is extensively used In the
manufacture of celluloid. At present
camphor is mainly produced from the
so-called camphor tree, which attains
a gigantic size in Japan, one specimen
recently measured being 115 feet tail,
and having a trunk over fourteen and
a half feet in diameter.
The tree is common in China, but as
yet the production of camphor in that
country is very limited.
The camphor tree is member Of the
laurel family, and Is related in genus
to the cinnamon tree. 1t is said that
camphor can be produced from other
species of trees, but this statement has
never been verified. In Borneo most
aromatic camphor is obtained from the
natural deposits of gum on the trunks
of species of tree indigenous to that
island and Sumatra. Borneo camphov

KNOWS NOW
Doctor Was Fooled by His Own Case For
Time.

It's easy to understand how ordi-
nary people get fooled by coffee when
doctors themselves sometimes forget
the facts.
A physician speaks of his own ex-
perience:
II had used coffee for years and
really did not exactly believe 1t was
,injuring me, although had palpita-
''tion Of the heart every day.
Finally one day severe and almost
fatal attack of heart trouble frightened
me and l gave up both tea and coffee,
using Postum instead, and since that
time l have had absolutely no heart
palpitation except on one or two occa-
sions when tried a small quantity Of
coffee which caused severe irritation
and proved to me must let it alone
when we began using Postum it
seemed weak-that was because we
did not make 1t according to directions
but now we put little bit Of butter
in the pot when boiling and allow the
Postum to boil full 10 minutes, which
gives it the proper rich flavor and the
deep brown color
II have advised great many OF my
friends and patients to leave off coffee
and drink Postum, in fact, daily give
this advice" Name given by Postum
Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
Many thousands of physicians use
Postum in place of tea and coffee in
their own homes and prescribe 1t to
patients. There's a reason"

The Ralah as a Landlord.

Delhi-and all over India, for that
matter-is owned by rajahs, and the
farmers rent it. The scrubby trees
along the highway are owned by the
government, and when one is injured
by the wind, the injured limbs are
sold at auction to the highest bidder
for fuel. A drouth and famine exist
here at present, and we saw poor
farmers irrigating little field Of
wheat out of well. The water was
drawn up by bullocks, in a skin bag,
and the men sang prayers as they
worked; prayers for blessings on
their oxen, their crop, their families,
etc. 1t was a pitiful little field of
wheat, no larger than six Atchison
lots, and the men said they would not
have half a crop.-E. w. Howe's edi-
torial letter in the Atchison Globe.

A Country Editors Outlook.

William Allen White, the Kansas
editor, in describing life in a small
town in the Middle West, says: when
a man has published paper in a
country community for many years he
knows his town and its people, their
strength and their weakness, their joys
and their sorrows, their failings and
their prosperity-or If he does not know
these things he is on the road to fall
ure, for this knowledge must be the
spirit of his paper" The author has
been editing and publishing a small
daily newspaper in Emporia, Kan,
since 1890 with considerable success,
and 1t must be inferred that he knows
the sort of people about whom he
