Our Bodies Are Machines,

How many people, I wonder. ever pause to consider that their bodies are merely machines to do work, furnaces in which necessary fuel is burned. workshops i'll which wornout parts are supplied and stOrerOoms in which fuel and food are laid away for use when needed? Further. like any other piece of apparatus, the body works better under certain circumstances. It's fires burn better with fuels of certain sorts. mixed in certain proportions, and it cannot keep in perfect condition unless furnished with proper materials. Man thinks he eats because he is hungry he really eats because his body is cry ing out for building materials with which to repair the waste that is ali ways going on and for fuel to keep it. self warm. and it is rather 'finicky'' as to the supply it wants for each of these purposes. At a pinch it can use almost anything digestible for either, but 1t groans and complains and pun ishes it's unfortunate possessor If 1t Is not properly treated.-Crittende Mar. riott in St. Nicholas.

Dickens and SchooImasters.

Dickens, with something i'll his dis position peculiarly sympathetic toward children, was bitter foe of any one relative, teacher or oiScial guardian who tyrannized over them. A writer in the New York Post points out that he seems to take special delight in eX posing the mistlec;!S of mercenary and cold hearted pedagogues. When ones notice,' says the Post, "is first directed to the attention the novelist gave to schools and their methods, it is inter esting to try to recall the number men toned. Six come to mind instantly Dotheboys Hall, Dr. Blimbers, David Copperfield's two schools--Dr. Strons's and MT. Creakle's - the Gradgrind school and Bradley Headstone's in Our Mutual Friend But even the most devoted reader of Dickens Is amazed upon special investigation to discover the sum total of twenty eight. There is not phase of education that he does not touch upon, and wrong methods are revealed and commented upon in tones so eaustic and with req son so unerring that better conditions were the natural result"

Properties of Gold,

Pure gold is unaffected by the atmos phere either at ordinary temperatures or when the metal is heated. It is also proof against the action of common acids when used singly. Moreover, it confers it's properties more or less upon copper and silver when these metals are alloyed with it. Thus for example, twelve karat gold will withstand the action of nitric acid and the atmos- phere at ordinary temperature, but some of the copper will be oxidized during annealing. Nine parts of gold may be alloyed with ten parts of plat mum in an ordinary crucible and fire, but such an alloy will not be uniform. A larger proportion of platinum will free itself from the gold on solidifica- ton, and homogeneous alloy of the two metals cannot be obtained.-Jewel- CTS Circuar-Weekly.

School Gardens In Washington.

The school garden movement Ill Washington. which started humbly d few years ago, has so strongly appeai' ed to the children and their parents that with comparatively little assist ance from the public funds it has thrived amazingly. Already a marked change is observable not only in the immediate surroundings of the school buildings themselves, but in all parts of the town at the homes of the little ones. They have been taught plant love in terms which have in many cases never been presented to them be- fore.

Wooden Anchors.

The Basques, d strange race inter mediate betweea French and Span .ards, have for all time been great fish ermen, and some of their craft and seagoing gear arc totally different from any other known types. Perhaps the most remarkable relic of bygona civilizations is the primitive wooden anchor still in use among them and to be seen in the fishing settlements round BialTitz, Guethary or St. Jean de Luz. These wooden anchors are in all prob ability of the identical type in use among the Phoenicians twenty centu- ries ago. The wooden anchor is rough hewn out of three branches, so fasten- ed to a crossbar. also of wood, as to in close a great stone of twenty or thirty pounds weight. Here is a cheap but effectual anchor for comparatively light boats It can be made on the spot, and it entails little loss if, in sudden sauall, it has to be left inbedded ill the rocks.

Here the original meaning of the word is lost because of it's lamentabe pronun- ciation by the uneducated Nobody, hearing it mentioned as s.droying room at it's best or as "droring room at it's worst" would suspect it of being q room to which to withdraw for relax ation Most words of the kind, though. have no better claim to our admiration, and many have a worse one to our sense of language "Parlor' Is an ugly growth from the old monasterial "par- Ioir,' or room where speaking was al lowed, and "boudoir," that early Victo- rian expression of gentility, began by being q room to sullz in.

Snake Worship.

Python worship or the worship os snake gods is still practiced in parts of the west coast of Africa. In Da honey and Ashanti there are temples. where pythons are kept to receive tho adoration of the people. The snakes are not confined to the precincts of tiis temples. Small holes are left in the inclosing wall, through which they pass and sometimes make themselves very much at home ill the houses oi the people. When stray snake is found word is sent to the temple, the priests come and with many apologies to his snakeship pick him up and car " him back home.

A dangerous operation was being per formed upon woman. Old pr. A., a quaint German, full of kindly wit ana professional enthusiasm, had several younger doctors with him.

He became so interested ill the old doc tors work that he withdrew the cone from the patients nostrils. and she half reused and rose to a sitting pos ture, looking with wild eyed amaze ment over the surroundings.

Before the Bar.

The terms admitted to the bar" and ''before the bar" are of English origin. The "bar" in question is the barrier or railing which separates the judge and the other officers of the court from the rest of the courtroom. In earlier days the parties to d suit presented themselves before this bar, accompa- nied by their counsel. A lawyer, after keeping the required number of terms at the inns of court and passing q sat isfactory examination, was then en- titled to appear before the bar on be half of a client, or, ill other words, he was admitted to the bar" The Eng fish word "barrister" suggests the tech l1ical meaning of this word.-Scrap Book.

THE GARDEN SCHOOL.
How Children of Newton Were Taught
 to Reautify Home Grounds.


 Writing in Maxmelrs Talisman of the work of the garden school ill New. fon. Mrs. H. A. Elliott says:
 An object lesson to the citizens of Newton was the garden school con- ducted by the ladies of the Social Sci ence club of that town during the sum mer of 1906. Assured by George IT. Maxwell of the Home Crofters' guild of the Talisman of the free services ot aN experienced garden director, provided the club could defray the further eX pense of q garden, a committee of five ladies was appointed from the club t. see what could be done.
 First they obtained the use of a piece of vacant land on Jackson road. which was then an open grass plot Then an appeal was made by the com mittee to the department of agriculture at Washington for free seeds, which were promptly sent. The committee sent circular letter to about fifteen of the contemplating business men of New ton telling them of the plans for the garden school and asking them if they were sufficiently interested in the eX- neriment to give it some financial sup port.
 The response was quick, and at che end of week we had the required ~soO, and the director went 10 work, .,1se hundred and six gardens 9 by :;J 4et were planted by as many different tchildren from the Nonantum district, and the names of as many more inter- ested children were placed on the wait ing list.
 A few of these children, having learn ed how under the direction at the gar den school, went back to the home dooryards which had for all time previ- ously been used for dumps, clcsrcG away the debris, spaded up the earth and planted seeds which they procured gratis from the director. The reward was scarlet runner at the doorstep, 8 row each of lettuce, radishes and beans and for garden flowers nasturtiums. sunfowers and sweet alyssum. One of the boys carried some vegetables from his home garden into the exhibi- ton at Horticultural hall and was awarded a prize. Could these children think you, ever again be contented to live in dump instead of Il flower gar den? These girls and boys learned the law of cause and effect; that the soil through healthful, pleasant labor will praI,ce fool supplies sufficient to nour, ish the bod,'; that debris, squalor and untidiness may be silppiantel by clean Illness. order and beauty and many oth CT lessons. not the least of which were pride in ownership and respect for oth CT DeODle'S rights

PROUD OF HIS TOWN.
What One Man Is Doing to improve
 Jackson, Tenn.

jackson, enG.
 One of the most progressive town officials in the south is Samuel Lan- caster, city engineer of Jackson, Tenn Mr. Lancaster thinks there Is no place like Jackson, and he wants others to think so, too, and he is doing every thing in his power to make it one of the prettiest towns in the country. It is due in a great measure to his eff forts that good roads are being built in Madison county. Bi.t r3ad building is not all tl,at has engrossai the big brain of Sam Lancaster, says writer i'll Breeders Gazette As manager Of the Watervorks he saw q chance to do things. Jackson had no park, and near the waterworks there was needed a raised roadway. Sam Lancaster made the fill, and before any one knew what he was up to he had Euilt fine lake on the site whence came the earth f)l' the fill. Smaller lakes near by came, then drives, bridges, boats, lilies una. velous lilcs), banks of flowers. trees.
 An unsightly railway yard adJoined the waterworks. The railway was ask ed for a few cars ofearth. Presto. sam made the yard and the park join. Grass, flowers, shrubs, beauty. order seats. comfort, inspiration. hope, ali came out of that old sink hole. Anu the manager only grinned when he saw that Sam Lancaster had actually parked and fenced part of his right of way. Now travellers on that railway will pass by and say, "Jack son, Tenn. is a beautiful place ana must have people of culture within it.

Cold Flooded Animals.

The so called cold blooded animals vary from the warm blooded in the particular that their blood changes temperature in accordance with their surroundings. The temperature of a fish will be almost exactly the same as that of the water around it, possibly one or two degrees higher. A snake s temperature is higher in summer than in winter, the average being S2 de grees. X birds average temperature is 1O7. The average temperature of the mammals is 1O1 degrees.

Dummy Taylor Was the client here of one of the battles with Ros- ton. He let down the Beaneatcrs with five hits, and he didn't make any brag out of it either. Tho Cubs have been tearing e1eli other apart in the west, while we have been thrilling with the Dodgers. While the Giants would like to see the Cubs Jammed as much as pos sible, it would tickle us no matter which way 1t goes. Sparks was a little too brilliant for tha Dodgers. A few of them make a gallant at- tempt to start something in the ninth, but they could only get just enough runs to prevent shutout.
 We are again compelled to ask if you have been watching Bill Dah- lens willow work these days. Eiil led the team hitting, again getting two singles and one double.
 The Pittsburg entry seemed to fall down all around on Thursday. Howard, Beaumont and Richey got only one hit between them, and Flaherty was found for enough bingles-seven to win the game. At that he had only bad inning, but that is where the Giants landed on him.
