rob.oeo smoke Poisonous.

It is often said that tobacco smoke
is a powerful germicide. The COM
position of tobacco smoke is complex,
the principal constituents being oils of
a tarry nature. Nicotine itself Is q
strong sermicide, but the quantity of
this poison in tobacco smoke Is minute.
The oily matter which accupulates In
a tobacco pipe Is highly poisonous. but
does not contain any aDpreciable guam
tity Of nicotine, the chief constituent
of this residue being very poisonous
Oil known as pyridine. Tobacco smoke
contains decided quantity Of car
bon monoxids, which Is preservative
and which must possess germicidal
properties. One Of the principal con-
stituents accounting for the germicidal
properties OF tobacco smoke is the pow
erfui antiseptic formaldehyde.-New

POINTED PARAGRAPHS.

Your sons probably please you as
well as you pleased your father.
If you don't look carefully after your
own affairs, who do you imagine will?
A good many people try to administer
forgiveness and punishment at the
same time.
About all some men get for their
efforts to be dignified is a reputation
of having the swelled head.
The greatest triumph for a boy is
the privilege Of being accepted as an
equal by boys somewhat older than
himself.
Don't begin to wonder how other
people can afford so many things that
you can't afford. That is big step in
the direction Of growing envious and
sour.
We have noticed that people who do
exactly as they please, whether their
friends like It or not, get along about
as well as those who are always trying
to please-Atchison Globe.

You Cannot Fail to Appreciate the
Point In This Story.
Once a farmer had 1,S00 bushels of
wheat, which he sold not to single
grain merchant, but to 1900 different
dealers, a bushel each. A few of them
paid him in cash. but far the greater
number said it was not convenient
then; they would pay later. A few
months passed and the mans bank
account ran low How is this?" he
said My 1900 bushels Of grain should
have kept me in affiuence until another
crop Is raised, but I have parted with
the grain and have instead only vast
number Of accounts, SO small and scat
tered that cannot get around and col
Beet fast enough to pay expenses"
So he posted up public notice and
asked all those who owed him to pay
quickly. But few came. The rest said
mime is only small matter, and
viii go and pay one Of these days" for
getting that, though each account was
very small, when all were put together
they meant large sum to the man
Things went on thus. The man got to
feeling so bad that he fell out OF bed
and awoke and, running to his gran

still safe there. He had only been
dreaming.

THE SPEAKERS MACE.
Origin of the Emblem Of Authority
Used In Congress.

Used In Congress.
At the right of the speakers desk
in the hall of the house of represent
atives in the capitol at Washington
stands a large cylindrical pedestal
made Of highly polished green marble.
When the house Is called to order
each day, the sergeant at arms or one
of his deputies places upon the pedes-
tai the mace, which Is the symbol or
authority in the house. When the body
adiourns he removes it and keeps 1t In
safety until the house meets again.
This mace, is of very ancient and
honorable origin. Under the old Ro-
man republic the magistrates passed
on foot from one place to another adj
ministering justice, trying public OF
tenders and imposing penalties.
Each of these magistrates was at
tended by small body Of men known
as lictors. whose duty it was to make
way for the officers Of the law, pre-
serve order. make arrests and infiict
punishment on condemned citizens.
Each Of these lictors carried with
him bunch of rods tied together
with thongs and having an ak bound
to the outside of it. The thongs were
used for scourging and the ak for
beheading. Sentences imposed by the
magistrates were at once carried out.
Those bundles of rods were known as
fasces When the Romans conquered
Britain the use of the fasces as SYM
~ xxv3% - md
| other Roman customs remained with
| the British people.
While it was no longer used for IN
| fiicting punishment, it continued to De
used as a symbol by the early English
magistrates, and when an ofhcer ap-
peared carrying the fasces his au-
| thority was Immediately accepted by
| ALL 1t was, in effect, his badge OF
| office.
| The English form Of the fasces was
| slightly changed in that the ak was
| placed inside of the bundle of rods,
/ with the blade protruding from the
| top.
| The great councils Of the early
| Saxons gradually developed into one
| general body, which in the fourteenth
| century became known as the house
| of commons. In all these earlier coun-
| ellis the use of the fasces was con.
| tinued, but it then came to be known
| as the mace, which has remained as
| the emblem of legislative authority In
| that body down to the present day.
The house of representatives of the
| United States was modelled closely
| after the house of commons by the
| trainers of our constitution, and the
usage of the mace was borrowed from
the English custom.
The first mace adopted by the house
was destroyed by fire when the Brit
ish burned the capitol in 1914. From
| 1914 until 1912 mace of painted wood
did service, but in the latter year the
present mace was made after the model
of the original one.-Cleveland Plain
Dealer.
