which prevents the engineers OF
eastbound trains from seeing more

train swung around the curve rapid

CONCERNING FAKES.
Watch out for fakes.

The world is full of them. There is no limit to what
intelligence believe
few days ago they found Noah's diary in Michigan.
They far to dig it up in the presence Of
spectators bronze tablets engraved with pictures OF the
food and the tower of Babel They had the collectors
ready to look for Mount Ararat in northern Michigan
You wouldn't be faxed by such nonsense?
Other people The story of the worlds relic
collectors is filled with dozens of fakes equally absurd
as this.
In fact everything that is worth having has its fake
counterpart
Many little phrase will come right to your mind, like
"mock modesty" (Which is fake modesty), fase weight
(Which is fake weight, Clutch courage" (Which is fake
courage), puppy love- (Which is fake ove). We speak
of paying to the grand stand, which is only taking.
And there's fake friendship and fake principles and fake
religion and fake husbands and wives
Don't make the mistake of thinking that fake is al
ways easy to discern.
1t isn't.
Smarter than you have been fooled by what
seemed to be- but what wasnt.
If well planned fakes purpose, nobody would
ever resort to such methods of deception
You remember what Barnum, the circus man, said:
"You fool all of the people of the time" And
he added 'And you fool of the people all of
the time"
So don't laugh at the who faxed by Noah s
diary up in northern Michigan.
Better look around little yourself first.

"PULVERIZING" RUM.

The of temperance is continuing it's rapid strides
in all parts of the country. Only few days ago bill
to make the state of Alabama dry passed both branches
of the legislature of that state and became law
In many parts of the country the question of proib
tion before the the regular November cleo
ton, and in almost every instance the advocates of
perance made remarkable progress. For instance the
Illinois Legislature recently passed local option law
AT the last election II counties took advantage Of the law
to vote upon the question: and about 80 per of the
territory went dry. Even in large townswhere it
thought the vets prohibition carried the
day. Jacksonville town with 80 saloons, went dry by
600 votes.
How is this campaign being waged by the advocates of
temperance? By quoting facts by showing that in dis
trcts which have driven out Saloons there is much less
of poverty crime has decreased-in communities
onehaf-poce dockets that once were crowded now are
clear.
Is it any wonder with such facts staring him in the
face, the voter determines to give temperance trial in
his community?

Blowing the Nose.

Medical experts are calling the atten-
ton of the public to the Importance of
performing the nose blowing operation
in a scientific and hygienic manner
First one nostril and then the other
should be blown without undue vio-
lence. Doctors state that the two nasal
passages should never be closed at the
same time. If they are obstructed, as
In the case of a cold, the back of the
throat is filed with compressed air,
and this. together with the discharge
and the microbes which 1t contains,
may be driven through the eustachial
tube into the middle ear and lead to
serious results. A great authority on
the subject used to forbid his patients
to blow their noses when suffering
from a cold. The course is hardly one
which will commend itself to those in
the habit of catching colds The best
advice would seem to be that when it
is necessary to blow the nose blowing
should be done gently.-London Mail.

NentiIate Well.

An old writer says, when men lived
in houses of reed they had constitu-
tions of oak; when they lived in houses
of oak they had constitutions of reeds -
This is a picturesque description of the
injury which may come to us from
fine houses too closely confined to keep
out the fresh air and too heavily cur
tanned, preventing the entrance of sun
shine. which is almost if not quite as
important as air. But it is not at all
necessary to have our fine houses IN
healthy, and it requires only intelli-
gence and thoughtfulness to render q
brick house as good a promoter of
health as cabin. Fresh air will come
into well ventilated modern houses as
well as through the open cracks of a
house of reeds and sunlight through a
window in a palace as we'll as hovel.

The Discovery of Iron.

The stone age. bronze age and iron
age so overlap one another it is i'm
possible to say just when one begins
or ends. Men began to use both bronze
and iron long before stone had ceased
to be used. In fact, America was in
the stone age SO late as its discovery
by Columbus 400 years ago. 1t is safe
to say that history proper and the
iron age were born together anywhere
from 5000 to 10000 years ago. 1t is
more than likely that men gained their
first information concerning the prop
critics of iron through experiments with
the pieces of it that had fallen from
the sky in the shape of meteors.-New

As the commuter who always board

invited confidence.

ANCIENT BOWS.
That of the scythians Was In the Form
OF the Letter C.

While universally used by the an
clients, the form of the bow varied with
different nations. The Scythian bow
was in the form of the letter C, and
the bow of the Tartars, descendants of
the Scythians, still keeps that shape
The Greek bow was not more than
three or four feet in length, E-t so
stout and stiff that it required consid-
cradle strength and skill to use it. 1t
is said that the first Greek bows were
made from the horns of Il species of
goat, the bases being united by means
of a metallic band. Afterward other
material was used in their manufac-
ture, but they still retained their orig
inal shape. These bows were too
ghort to be of much use, and, compara-
lively speaking, but a small portion of
the troops were armed with them.
The Romans carried the bow to Brit
ain, where it at once obtained favor
and during the middle ages was ex-
tensively used, forming an important
element of the armies of that period.
The English archers were said to be
the finest in the world, and their skill
decided the battles of Creecy, Poitiers
and Agincourt. The bows used were
of two kinds-the long bow and the
arbalest, or crossbow. The arbalest
was made of steel or horn and was of
such strength and stiffness that it was
necessary to use some mechanical ap-
pliance to bend it and adjust the
string. The arbalestiers carried q
quiver with fifty arrows and were
placed in the van of the battle.
