the end that the farmers may be
enabled to get direct and sub
stantial benefits from it.

yet been completed, some OF the
moot eminent lecturers in the

Rich, who heads the syndicate
of Cincinnati people who have
bought the local gas, electric
and water plants and who has

operates in Henderson, Ky. 1t
is said that the plant would pay
better here than in the Kentuc-
ky city. ltis possible, however,
that he proposes to install new
system at Henderson and not
risk the loss of an entirely new

An Unreliable Stream.

A stranger who was making his
first visit to one Of the popular sum-
mer resorts of the interior took
stroll on the morning of his arrival
along the bank of the stream that
ran near the hotel. The first person
he encountered was an elderly rcsid-
ept of the ncighborhood, who was
sitting on log, busily occupied in
fishing. He stopped and entered in
to conversation with him.
"Good morning!" he said.

FORCED TO EAT BOOKS.
Human Beings Who Were Compelled
to Devour Literature.

Among the causes that contribute
the destruction of. books, says an
italian writer, America Scarlatti,
there one very curious one that may
be called bibliophagia. No reference
is intended to the mice that once de-
stroyed i'll England an entire edition
of Castell's "Lexicon Heptagloton,"
but to human beings who have liter
ally devoured books.
In 1870 Barnabo Visconti compell-
ed two papal delegates to eat the bull
of accommodation which they had
brought him, together with its silken
cords and leaden seal. AS the bull
was written OH parchment, says the
Scientific American, not paper, it
was all the more difficult to digest.
A similar anecdote was related by
Oelrich in his "Dissentatio re Biblio-
thecarum ct Librorum Fatis' (1756)
Of an Austrian general who had
signed a note for 1000 florins and
when it fell due compelled his credi-
tors to eat it.
, The Tartars, when books fall into
their possession, eat them that they
may acquire the knowledge contain
ed in them.
A Scandinavian writer, the author
of a political book, was compelled to
choose between being behcaded or
eating his manuscript bold in broth.
Isaac Volmar, who wrote some
spicy satires against Bernard, duke
OF SaNony, was not allowed the
courtesy of the kitchen, but was for
ccd to swallow them uncooked.
Still worse was the fate of Philip
Dldenb'Tger, jurist Of great re-
nown, who was condemned not only
to eat a pamphlet Of his writings,
but also to be flogged during his re-
past, with orgers that the flogging
should not cease until he had swal-
lowed the last crumb.

Not Exactly on the Market.

After the newly organized band at
Morrison had desisted from practice
for few nights the B-flat player
found the values on his cornet had
stuck. He wrote to the factory ask
ing what kind Of grease to use on the
valves. The house answered him
saying that cornet players used only
saliva on the valves and nevers used
grease Of any kind. The B-flat play
er then wrote: .t..
"Gentlemen--Please send me 25
cents worth of saliva. I can't get
it at the store here. Enclose find
stamps for payment"

Carpets were unknown luxurlea In

Windows were apertures filed with
glass so as to admit light, but to eS-

An Odd Little Essay on the Subject
of Breathing.
Everything on, In and under the earth
breathes- animals, minerals, vegeta-
bles, etc. The tides are caused by the
breathing OF the earth itself This old
globe must take two long breaths q.
day, each inspiration requiring six
hours and each expiration the same
period Of time. II Mother Earth did
not breathe she would In all probabill-
ty bust and blow up. When she
breathes too hard, as II In panic, or
because Of some geological excitement,
she cracks the ground and we have the
earthquake. Her ordinary respiratory
movement merely expands and con-
tracts the water volume.
Slngularly enough, air is the most i'm
portant element provided by nature.
A man can live forty-five days without
food, several days without water and
about three or four minutes without
air, Take away his lungs, as by pneu-
monia, and death Is as certain as sin.
Does the heart beat make the clrcuIa-
ton of the blood or does the circula-
tion make the heart beat? What
causes breathing? Does breathing
make the heart beat? Does breathing
make the circulation? Important, vi

You may remove mass liver, kid

stab him through the heart or with
draw his brains, and he will still live,
