Parallel eases of this kind among men
are common; the big fellows get to-
gether in secret meetings and con-
spire to rob the farmer, and the only
way the farmer has to keep them
from doing it is for farmers to get
together i'll secret meetings and de-
wise plans to protect farmers inter-
est against all the many schemes to
get his products at their own prices.

Pretty Deep,

A Yankee just returning to the States
was dining with an Englishman, and
the latter complained of the mud in
America.
Yes" said the American, "but it's
nothing to the mud over here"
Nonsense" said the Engllshman.
Fast" the American replied. why,

the Englishman. What was your adj

WELL" said the American, "as l
was walking along 1 noticed that the
mud was very thick, and presently l
saw a high hat af1oat on a large puddle
of very rich ooze. Thinking to do

high and had a pitched roof. Now 1t
is of two stories and has fiat roof.
But the large open f1replaces remain,
much the same as when Paul Revere
roasted apples and perhaps mulled
wine before their wood fires.
Paul Revere took an active part In
the revolution. He served on commit
tees of safety and of correspondence :;
he carried important dispatches into
other colonies; he was prominent in
the Boston Tea Party, and his famous
ride from Charlestown to Concord and
Lexington Is known the length and
breadth of the land.
After the colonies had settled down
into peace and independence, Revere
turned his attention to the casting Of
cannon and to the manufacture of gun
powder. and incidentally learned the
printing Of paper currency. By APP
nointment of Congress Revere was
sent to Philadelphia to learn the con-
struction Of their copper mill, and upon
his return he set up similar mills in
Boston and Canton.
The old hero, who died in 1917, lies
buried in the old Granary burying
ground on fremont street, Boston, by
the side of Adams and other distin-
guished patriots who contributed to the
birth of the American nation.

Climate and Consumption.
Only a few years ago one suffering
from consumption was thought to be
incurably Ill, and doomed to a death
which, although perhaps slow, was In
evitable. Modern scientific knowledge
has changed all that. It is now known
that tuberculosis taken in time is quite
amenable to treatment, and indeed Of
ten gets well Of itself without any spe-
cial effort on the part Of patient or
physician.
The modern treatment is mainly cli-
matte, that Is to say, removal, If pos
sible, to some part of the world where
the climatic conditions are such that
the patient can pass most Of his time
in the open air. But If this were all
that Is needed the question would be
a much more simple one than 1t really
is. 1t Is indeed the main, but not the
only thing.
1t is desirable also that the place Of
residence Of the consumptive shall be
dry, sunny, and free from high winds
and dust. Whether it shall be in the
mountains or near sea-level, in the So
called temperate zone or In the tropics,
is a matter to be determined by cir
cumstances. Some persons prefer warm
air to cold; others suffer from heat and
feel we'll only in cold weather. Nat
urally the patients inclinatlons are to
be consulted in such a case, for 1t would
be cruel and disastrous to send a lover
of the tropics to winter in Minnesota,
and equally cruel to compel a snowblrd
to live in the West Indies.
A climate that will be beneficial in
one stage Of the disease may be harm.
full in another. Elevated regions, for
example, are suitable as a rule only for
cases of consumption in the early
stages, and may aggraVate the condi-
ton at later stage, when the patient
has had one or more hemorrhages. At
a very advanced stage no climate, how
ever ideal, will compensate for the IA
tlgue and dangers Of a long Journey,
and home is the only place.
But after all that can be said for the
climatic treatment Of consumption, the
main thing is the open air, and that
one can get without the trouble and ex-
pense of travel by simply keeping win
dows open day and night. 1t is harder
to follow out the open-air treatment in
a large city than it is in Colorado or
southern California or Jamaica, but It
can be done, and no one need forego Its
benefits while there are windows in
walls, or while there is space in which

tend to understand the psychology Of
the question, facts will nevertheless
bear this out.
"Of the great number of requests re-
ceived by charitable Institutions Of this
city for children for adoption the ma
jority of those who specify ask for the
blue-eyed, golden-haired type. So, you
a sort of open sesame to a good home.
This curious prediction was much
more marked ten or fifteen years ago
than now, but it still crops up occa-
sionally and Is certainly an interesting
trait"
The figures and letters obtainable at
charitable institutions contain infor-
nation corroborative Of this statement.
For instance, in the records Of the New
York Juvenile asylum, an institution
which for the last fifty years has given
real home and useful training to
some 10000 children who would other
wise have grown up in the slums and
has placed 5000 of them in outside
homes, mostly in the West, there is
multitude of letters asking for children
to- be adopted. Some Of them show this
curious blue and yellow choice.
Can you send a child out here for
adoption?' says one letter from a West
ern State which every year receives
many children from the institution. eff
so have you a little girl with blue eyes
and curly golden hair?"
1--WE should be glad to give a good
home to little boy" saiys another.
1--WE prefer one with light hair and blue
eyes"
OF course, a brunette complexion is
no handicap to the child for which the
Juvenile asylum is striving to get a
square dell. But those who wish to
adopt light-haired children generally
specify on this particular point, since
on other points the judgment of the
asylum authorities is regarded as sufi-
cient.
One man who has long watched the
work of this and other institutions Of
a similar kind insists that the psychol-
ogy Of q selection is simple. According
to his theory the West where a real
chance is found for many of the chill
dren, has a population made up in large
part from Northern European coun-
tries, where blue eyes and light hair
constitute the prevailing type. Natur.
ally enough when adopting a child one
of such coloring Is preferred, all OF
which, while directly opposed to the
theory of attraction Of opposites, serves
to emphasize the value of blue eyes
and light hair to the New York waits

TELL II TO THE MARINES.
Now Famous Phrase First Used by
Charles the Second.

Now Famous Phrase First Used by
Charles the Second.
The saying Tell it to the marines"
is traced to Pepys, the author of the
famous DIARY" and 1t is said by him
to have originated with Charles IL. of
England. 1t so befell, as the story
goes, that his light-hearted majesty,
with an exceedingly bored expression
on his swarthy face, was strolling in
the shade with the ingenious Mr..
Pepys, secretary to the admiralty.
81 had speech yester cen at Dept
ford" said Mr., Pepys, with the cap
tain of the Defyance, who hath but
lately returned from the Indies and
who told me the two most wonderful
things that ever l think 1 did hear
In my life" Among the stories told
were of fish flying in the air. Fish
flying in the air." exclaimed his maj
esty. "Ha! ha! a quaint concelt,
which 'twere too good to spoil WI
keeping What no! slr"-he turned
and beckoned the colonel, Sir William
Killigrew of the newly raised mari
time regiment on foot, who was fol-
lowing in close conversation with the
duke Of York-"We would discourse
with you on a matter touching your
element What say you, colonel, to a
man who swears he hath seen fishes
fly in the air."
al should say, SIR returned the
sea soldier simply, that the man hath
sailed In southern seas. For when
your majesty's business carried me
thither Of late did frequently observe
more flying fish In one hour than the
hairs of my head In number
His majesty glanced narrowly at
the colonel's frank, weatherbeaten
face. Then with a laugh he turned to
the secretary.
"'Mr. Pepys,' said he, from the
very nature Of their calling no class OF
our subjects can have so wide knowl-
edge of seas and lands as the officers
and men of our loyal maritime regl'
ment. Henceforth ere ever we cast
doubts upon a tale that lacketh llkeli'
