Tuesday night Miss Anna Schlum-
berger was hostess in honor of Miss
Irene CARRIER. The young ladies gave
her china shower and as the affair
was complete surprise they enjoyed
her pleasure very much. Each pack
age had it's message in rhyme and
they were very clever. Miss Mary
Wrigley of Fremont Ohio was one
Of the honored guests. The Misses
Schlumberger served very nice re-
freshments and in every way made
the evening very pleasant one for
their guests.

German Care of Landscapes.

Most German states have laws to
prevent the Disagreement of land
scapes by advertisements. The district
authorities are authorized to determine
what landscapes, buildings or monu-
ments of historical or artistic value
should be protected. Violations of the
statute are made punishable by fine,
with or without Imprisonment. The
statute provides against the display Of
pictures, advertisements or other things
calculated to mar or distigure any cs-
pecially attractive landscape or dctract
from the artistic or aesthetic effect of
any building or other structure of spe-
cial lportance or as highly prejudicial
to any street or part of a city. The
alteration of buildings of historical or
artistic value may be prohibited by the
local authorities. as may the construc-
ton of other buildings calculated to in
tcrfere with such historical monuments.

An Exa,,;p.c of During,

During the hottest fighting in the
Shipka pass the leading battalion Of
the Russian General Dragomiroff's d.
vision reco!ed before Il hailstorm Of
Turkish bullets. The general was a
very stout person and had the ap-
pearance of peaceful German pro-
fessor But when he saw his men re-
coil he dismounted and walked slow
~ to and fro along a ridge swept by
the enemy's bullets. He was hun
dred yards in advance of the men, &C.
cupying the position they had abandon
ed After staying there for awhile
without being touched he shouted back
to the battalion: What are you doing,
you geese? Did YOU think there was
danger here? l don't find any" The

Hot and Cold Crx.tnls.

Whether we watch with the micro
scope tiny crystal growing from a
drop of solution or contemplate with
the Imagination the stages by which
the fiery lavas of past geological perl
DDS sank to rest and crystallized, said
Professor II. A. Miers in an adj
dress before the geological section of
the British association at Cape Town,
we view the same process. 1t is the
transformation Of liquid into crystal
not necessarily into solid, for re-
search shows there is no dividing line
between liqW and solid. A plastic
solid body y 8 flow; n solid glass is
only supp cooled liquid The real
primary distinction is between crystal
line and noncrystalline material. There
are two great liquid reservoirs from
which materials have crystnlllzed-tll
sen with its dissolved salts and the SUBJ
terranean baths Of molten glass from
which the igneous rocks have been de-
rivcd.-New York Globe.

Two os HI. Habits

1.-TWO things the average man does at
every opportunity from mere force of
habit" said the observing woman.
zone Is to set his watch every time he
passes standard timepiece and the
other-it isn't very delicate, but it's
fact-to expectorate every time he
passes public cuspidor. You watch
man inadvertently pass timep!ece.
He always catches himself in time,
goes back. compares his watch, and
ten minutes later you'll see him absent
ly doing the same thing farther down
the street. To prove the other fact you
need only stand five minutes within
sight of n cuspidor in one Of the big
railway stations and watch man after
man absentmindedly eXpectorate ilf
passing. merely in response to the sug-
gestion of the cuspidor.
'These two masculine habits about
equaliZe woman's invcterate habit of
glancing at every mirror she passes."-

When You sneexe.

The alarm signal of a draft is a
sneeze, which is Il spasmodic effort Of
nature to start up the circulation and
relieve the congestion. A person may
be far gone toward contracting a cold
before he sneezes, but the moment he
gets this warning he should change his
position, look around for the draft and
move ont of it or protect himself
against it. y draft is something to be
sneezed at-and to be avoided. Drafts
cause more deaths than war, whisky,
football, consumption and yellow fever
put together Almost everybody who
dies from disease dates his sickness
from taking cold. This Is especially
true Of elderly people. Yet it is mat
ter in regard to which there are great
ignorance and inattention.

why Bands Helm Marching.


All men who have any appreciation
of music feel prompted to step in time
TO Il march tune, and music on the
march therefore substitutes new and
pleasanter stimulus to eXertion for the
monotonous and somewhat dreary one
of keeping place i'll the ranks. 1t is
well known that WEAKNESS is, as rule,
more matter of mind than Of body
and that the muscles Of the body do
not tire half so soon rs the nerve cen
tiers which move them. Music, by
bringing fresh nerve center into play,
will often Danish all sense Of WEAKNESS
and will even sometimes afford rest to
the usual nerve center, so that when
the music ceases the soldier feels fresh
er than before 1t began.

GluttOns.

The old feudal lords of England were
the biggest hogs on earth. Their life
was made up Of the chase, gluttony
and drunkenness. The habit of glut-
tony WAS handed down to them. 1t
caiac directly from Lucullus and his
imitators. There is no doubt that Luz
cullls, held up before us as the table
saint. ate himself to death. 1t was not
only the quantity of food he ate, but
its quality as well, that put so mis-
cradle an end to him. Fielding proved
many years ago that there was large
amount of fudge about Lucullus. On
general principles he was, from GU
llnary point of view, a fraud. A single

If it be true, us conjectured by the
latest explorers, that Lake Chad is rap
idly drying up, the process will proba-
bly, be regarded by the biologists as
simply continuation Of one which has
been going on for ages in northern AZ
RIGA. The whole of the Sahara was
certainly once either an arm Of the
sea or vast lake, and Lake Chad is
probably only the final remnant of that
huge sheet Of water. The Sahara sea
must always have been very shallow,
a fact which made its evaporation
easy. and Lake Chad is reported to be
little more than morass over the
greater portion of its area.

Can Talk w,tbout ronrne.

"There seems to be mistaken i'm
preston abroad" remarked doctor
the other day in speaking of the case
of u man who had his tongue cut out in
an effort to cure cnse of cancer of
that member, that when Il man is
unfortunate enough to lose his tongue
henceforth all power of speech is
denied him. This is not SO. While it is
true that not many men survive this
operation for any great length of time,
1t Is equally true that they can speak
so long as they live and with only
comparatively slight impeachment in
their utterances. If you will hold n
pencil crossways between your teeth
and speak while it remains in that po-
sition you can get just the effect it
has on human speech when the tongue
Is entirely removed"

"Onions are really sweeteners Of the

onion will often check n cold in the

asked for work She was inexperi-

gagged her at once and took the time to
teach her one department of the work.
She learned easily and very quickly,
earned something the first day and in
two days was making as much as any
other girl in the room. They noticed
that she seemed to enjoy the work and
the prospect of good wages and were
greatly surprised when she appeared at
the office Friday night and desired to
settle up saying that she was
through work
The manager asked If anything dis
agreeable had happened.
"oh. no" the girl replied airily. cts

Throwing Fire at soldier.,

Greek fire, which had several other
Aames-wild fire. liquid fire, wet fire
and fire rain-was the most destructive
war material used before the introduc-
ton of gunpowder. Discovered by
Callinicus, Syrian. it was first used
in the siege OF Constantinople, 673-8TS,
and at Mecca, 600. According to an
eyewitness, 1t made a noise like tllun-
der, looked like Il dragon flying through
the air and made night light as day.
This, allowing for Il vivid Imagination,
gives Its striking characteristics when
poured from caldr0ns, shot from cop

expelled from catapults in vials dur

Water made it burn more fiercely, and
wherever it fell it spread torrent Of
fire. So well was the secret of it's pro-

its prescribed space. Perfection in the
