A Friar's Prediction.

A certain Spanish friar who was
an almanac maker predicted with
accuracy and in distinct and precise
terms the death of Henry w. OF
France. The friar in question was
arrested and brought before the
king, who treated the prediction
with contempt, while he thanked
the friar for his anxiety upon his
.(the kings behalf. The event, how
ever, happened as the prediction
had foretOld. 1t is of course posi-
bic that the friar may have had
some secret knowledge of the exist
ence Of a conspiracy against the
kings life and desired in this way to
warn his majesty Of the impending
danger.

COLD FEET.
This Trouble Is Due to Defective Cir.
culation Of the Blood.

eulation of the Blood.
Many persons are seldom really
comfortable as regards their feet,
except perhaps in midsummer.
Their feet are ALWAYS cold, not only
during the day, but also at night,
especially when in bed. Associated
with this condition we often find
fhilblains-not so frequently in this
country as in England, yet often
enough to warrant a few words re-
garding their prevention and cure.
Persistently cold feet are due to
defective circulation. There is a
lack Of tone in the blood vessels or
a weakness in the cOntractile force
of the heart, which results in a semi
Stagnation in the outlying parts of
the body. The sufferer from cold
feet usually has cold hands as well
and is in danger Of having his ears
frostbitten on a singing cold day if
he does not keep them well rubbed
or protected by ear mitts.
One who is troubled with this
condition should have the feet we'll
protected by stout shoes with thick
soles, which will keep out the mois7
ture, and if the feet have been wet
there should be no delay in changing
shoes and stockings on returning
home, Overshoes may be worn on
cold and snowy days, but rubbers |
should be avoided, except the kind
that cover only the soles of the
shoes, which are sometimes neces-
sary, since waterproof soles are I'M
fortunately seldom found on the
ordinary shoe.
Better. however, than protecting
the feet by extra covering is treat
mcnt directed TO improving the To-
cal and general circulation. The
best local treatment is BY means of
water. Night and morning the feet
,hould be immersed in hot water
for a minute. then plunged into cold
water-the colder the hetter-kept
there while one counts ten slowly
and then rubbed briskly with a
coarse towel until they are thor
'ughly dry, They should then be
itroked for a minute or two, with
he hands pressed firmly against the
kin, in an upward direction. This
reatment should be kept up for a
ong time-a year or two if neces-
airy, until the tone of the vessels {
5 restored. :
AS the condition is one of faulty
eneral circulation, general treat
1ent should also be instituted. In

FLINT AND FRICTION.
Methods by Which Primitive Man Pre-
cured His Fire.


Doubtless the production of fir,
by sparks from the flint was follow
ed by the discovery that friction
would produce a flame. In regions
where suitable stone was not easil,
found the inventive aborigine de-
ylsed the whirling stick, or fire drill
This was "A stick of hard wood with
its lower end set in hole in a
block Of very soft, dry wood.
The stick was held upright be-
tween the hands and whirled by
rubbing the palms first one way and
then the other. A moderate down
ward pressure was exerted, and as
the hands worked down on the stick
they were occasionally shifted to a
higher hold.
An Improvement on the hand
whirled drill was the application of
q bow 70, rotating it. The first
man to make a bow drill is entitled
to fame as the first inventor of a
machine, for he combined several
working pieces in one apparatus for
accomplishing a desired end.
This father of inventors must
have conceived the idea that if he
should make a turn of his bow
string around a stick and fix the
two ends of the stick in holes he
could rotate the stick much more
easily and rapidly than was possible
with the hands, producing great
friction and heat much quicker and
with much less exertion. We can
imagine we see him-a great,
brawny, hairy man, with a bit of a |
goatskin for clothes-sitting cross
legged at the mouth of his cave and
rigging up the first operative ma
chine that was to produce fire.
He must have procured a large
piece of soft and dry dead wood and
followed a spot for the lower end
Of the stick. Then putting this un-
der a slanting rock he must have
wedged another block of soft wood
above the stick.
Having fixed them solidly in place
by piling stones around them. he
would then take a turn of his bow
string around the stick and draw
t back and forth rapidly, securing a
blaze in Il short time.
With what triumph he must have
