Ehey Are, 1t Is Said, Less Acute Than
Those of Men.
The man, when his tooth was pulled,
yelled hoarsely. The next patient,
woman, bore the pain of three extrac-
tons with silent fortitude.
YES" said the dentist, women en-
dure the pangs of tooth pulling better
than men, but they deserve no praise
on this account They feel the pain
less. Experiments have frequently
been made to test the acuteness Of the
masculine and feminine senses. A
series of experiments were made In
New York city, and they were interest
ing and conclusive.
First, taste was tried. The male
subjects could detect in water the
presence of the sixtieth part Of grain
guish the gall In smaller quantity
than the twentieth of a grain. The
mems taste was three times keener
than the women's.
Next, smell The men smelled the
presence of the hundredth part of a
grain of prussic acid. The women
were unconscious of the acid till a
quantity five times greater was set be-
fore them. In smell the men were
five times the women's superiors.
"Men heard watch ticking at dis
lance of ten yards; women could only
hear it at distance of two yards. The
males again, you see, were five times
the better. 1t was the same thing with
sight and with touch. The men saw
five times better. They felt FIVE times
more keenly and delicately.
These experiments explain in a way
the apparent anomaly OF woman's won
drous fortitude to pain. Woman's
senses being less acute, she Is less at
fected by pain than man."-Exchange.

CATARRH
AN HOURS WALK.
You Would Hardly Think 1t Meant
Travelling SS,253 Miles,

YOu Would Hardly Think 1t Meant
Travelling s5,253 Miles.
Have you ever thought of the dis
lance you travel when you are out on
an hours stroll? Possibly you walk
three miles within the hour, but that
does not by any means represent the
distance you travel. The earth turns
on its axis every twentyfour hours
For the sake of round figures, we will
call the earths circumference $4,000
miles, and so you must have Travelled
during the hours stroll 1000 miles in
the axial turn of the earth.
But this is not all. The earth makes
a journey around the sun every year,
and long but rapid trip it is. The dis
lance of our planet from the sun we
will put at 92,000,000 miles. This Is
the radius of the earth's orbit-half the
diameter of the circle, as we call It..
The whole diameter Is therefore 1884,
O00.0G0 miles, and the circumference,
being the diameter multiplied by
S.1416, is about 57S000,000.
This amazing distance the earth trav-
els in it's yearly journey, and dividing
1t by 1865 we find the daily speed about
1,5S6,OO0. Then we get the distance
you rode around the sun during your
hours walk, divide again by twenty
four, and the result is about $4,000
miles, But this is not the end of your
hours trip. The sun, with its entire
brood of planets. Is moving in space at
the rate of 16O,O00,OO0 miles in year.
That is at the rate of little more than
$4,000 miles day, or 1880 miles an
hour.
So, adding your three miles Of leg
travel to the hours axial movement Of
the earth, this to the earth's orbital
journey and that again to the earth's
excursion with the sun, and you find
you have travelled in the hour 1928
miles

The enormous popularity Of eGolden

scientific compromising and 10 the actual
medicinal value of its ingredients. The
publication of the names of the i1lqredt-

gives full assurance of its non-alcoholic
character and removes all objection to
the use of an unknown or secret remedy.

1t Was Eaten by Riparian Man Thou
sands of Years Ago.
1t was Dean Swift who remarked
that "he was bold man that first ate
an oyster" but neither Dean Swift nor
any other lover of good eating has been
able to find records of any time, how
ever ancient, when oysters were not
eaten, while there is ample proof that
thousands of years ago riparian man
not only consumed these bivalves, but
was very fond of them. Thus the
"kjoekkenmoeddinge or Kitchen ref
use" along the Scandinavian coasts
exhibits huge hills of oyster shells from
which prehistoric men ate this succu-
lent mollusk at their feasts In the days
of Thor and Odin. There is, of course,
an interesting tradition which relates
how, in those prehistoric days a man
clad in the skins of wild beasts ran
barefooted along the shore of the sea.
Suddenly he caught his foot in an oys-
ter shell, which, as it instantly closed
upon him, caused him SO much pain
that he seized a stone to dislodge the
strange foe that chung to him so tena-
ciously. After accomplishing his pur-
pose he raised his hand, moist with the
Juice of the oyster, to his lips. with re
suits that were so pleasing to his palate
that he promptly proceeded to eat the
entire bivalve. Thus, it is said, did
man first discover the gustatory de-
lights contained within an oyster she'll

CRUDE HOUSEKEEPING.
Domestic Methods In England In thu

Domestic Methods In England In the
Fourteenth Century.
Carpets were unknown luxuries in
England in the fourteenth century, but
the fashion of strewing the apartments
with rushes was being gradually aban-
doned. Rushes were still used In the
retainers' hall, but for the better rooms
sweet scented herbs and fragrant twigs
were usually employed.
Windows were apertures filed with
glass SO as to admit light, but to ex-
clude wind. The walls also were fire.
quently hung with cloth or tapestry to
protect the inmates of the room from
the many currents Of air that pene-
trated the strong but badly built walls.
We learn from various ancient docu-
ments that it was the duty of the serv-
ing men and pages to sweep out the
principal apartments, but as the use
of water is rarely mentioned damp
and fragrant leaves and twigs must
have aided not only in collecting the
dust, but also toward refreshing the
atmosphere in such constantly closed
rooms, fresh air being only admitted
through the doors opening on to the
battlements or balconies.
From old inventories at Thurleigh
and elsewhere we ascertain how scan
tily furnished were these ancient man
sions, although they seem to have been
abundantly supplied with fiagons and
drinking cups in gold, silver and finely
engraved pewter, besides an infinite
number of black jacks or cups made Of
leather-London Standard.

OLD LEAP YEAR LAWS.


when Women Proposed SIX Centuries
Ago the Man Had to Accept.
In two countries, at least, and more
which gave women the right Of proDos-
Ing marriage. These enactments went
even farther than this They also slip
plated that If the man whose hand
they had sought should refuse he
should incur a heavy fine.
A searcher among the ancient rec
ords of Scotland discovered an act OF
the Scottish parliament, which was
passed In the year 1888, which runs as
follows:
ut is statut and ordaint that during
the rein Of his maist bltssit MeGeste ilk
for the years knowne as Lepe Yeare,
ilk hayden ladye of baithe highe and
lowe estaet shall haze liberte to bespoke
We man she likes, albeit gif he refuses
Ia talk hir to be his lawful wye, he
shall be mulcted In We sum OF ane dun
dis or less, as his estait may be, except
and avis gif he can make 1t appeare
that he is betrothit ane ither woman,
he then shall be Free"
A year or two later q law almost
similar to the Scottish enactment was
passed in France and received the ap-
prOval of the king. 1t Is also said that
before Columbus sailed on his famous
voyage TO the westward a similar privi-
lege was granted to the maldens Of
Genoa and Florence.
There Is no record extant of any
fines Imposed under the conditions Of
this Scotch law and no trace of statis-
tics regarding the number. of spinsters
who took advantage of it or of the SIM
liar regulations in France, but the Gus
tom seems to have taken firm hold
upon the popular mind about that time.
The next mention of it is dated nearly
400 years later. and 1t is curious little
treatise called Love. Courtship and
Matrimony." which was published In
London in 1900. In this quaint work
the privilege" is thus alluded to:
''Albeit it now becomes part Of the
common Law in regard to social rela-
tons Of life that. as often as every
leap yeare doth return, the ladyes have
the sole privilege during the time it
continueth of making love either by
wordes or lookes, 10 man will be en-
titled to benefit Of clergy who doth in
any wise treat her proposal with slight
or contumely."
| Up to within about century ago II
was one of the unwrltten laws Of leap
year that II a man should decline q
proposal he should soften the disap-
pointment which his answer would
bring about by the presentation Of a
silk dress to the unsuccessful sutton
for his hand.
A curious leap year superstition is
still to be met with in some parts OF
New England, and that is that during
leap year the beans grow on the
wrong side of the pod"

1t was all because Grover, in sud
den fit of sentimentality had annexed
Miss Lenhart's glove On the football
field, in the woods, in the hunting sea
son or at polo Grover was afraid of
nothing. but there was something
about the FIVE foot daintiness of Laura
Lenhart that made Lloyd Grover blush
and stammer like the rawest school
boy in the maddest stages of his first
love affair.
He never would have dared to annex
the glove had he not been certain that
Miss Lenhart was unaware of her loss,
and he stuffed it in his deepest pocket,
trembling from head to foot lest some
one suddenly appear and demand that
he restore the souvenir to It's owner.
Later ON he participated in the gen
eral hunt for the glove, and none was
more eager than be in the search.
Even after Miss Lenhart laughingly
declared that it did not matter he kept
up the pretense and made that the ex-
cuse for reporting at her side as often
as her partners left her alone for a
moment.
Dropping In at his club on the way
home, Grover could not resist the
temptation to draw the glove from his
pocket and gloat over his boldness.
He even pressed 1t to his lips. after
making sure that no one was looking,
but he crushed it hurrledly in his hand
at Jack Turner's approach, and as he
did SO for the first time he realized
that there was something inside the
glove.
With the perspiration standing cold
upon his forehead, he realized that II
must be ring, and his active imagina-
ton at once busted itself with plans
for returning the jewel undetected. He
could never bring himself to confess
the theft of the glove. He could moi
pretend to have found the ring without
being forced to explain why he had moi
returned 1t at once, and thousand
and one suggestions, all equally impos
sible, rushed through his mind.

versation with Turner. and he much

For genuine stomach ache-that IT,

blame the digestion If the pain often
occurs one may be sure that a serious
state Of chronic indigestion obtains.

take advice directed to that one case.
But for a solitary attack there is moth
