HOW o'coNNoR DOES 1T.

At the 0lympian games at Athens
last spring Francis E. Connolly, of
South Boston, and Thomas p. Gro
nan, of Boston, were among the con-
testants. Since their return they
have told many good stories of their
trip, but none better than the one
they tell Of Peter O'Connor, of Ire
land, who is the record holder of the
running broad jump.
Mr.. 0'Connor was asked how it
was that he was able to jump so
well, and he answered: "Well, now,
| don't know how I does, but it is
like this. When l goes to my mark,
and gets ready to jump, I asks my
self is it all right, and if my mind
says it is all right. then l run as
hard as I know how, I hits the take
off, | rises in the air, and | always
jumps 23 or "A feet when I feel
that way.
"Boys, l don't know how I does
it, but I guess it is a gift from God"

IDEAS CLEANED FROM ANIMALS.

1t is interesting to note how man
has borrowed many of his ideas from
the animal world. Wasps made pa
per from wood long before man de-
cided it was a good substitute for
rags. The folding scissors and fold
ing pocket compass are only copies
of the folding lower jaw of the
dragon fly. The flying squid, a
species Of cutie fish, has a way of
projecting itself as high as IL feet
above the surface Of the water by
forcibly expelling water from its
body. Man saw this and invented
the skyrocket. The ropemaking ma
chine used in the United States
navy yard follows almost the pre-
else lines that a spider does when
making his own frail cable.

been great successes.
H. G. Wells IS a stranger to the
rejection slip. Tie began by writing

gave him instant repute.
Mrs. Frances Hodgson Burnett

1t was accepted and she received for
il a check for $17.
Upton Sinclair supported himself
at college by writing "dime novels"
For seven years the young man
ground out tales of blood and terror,
lictating sometimes 5000 words a
lay. AT the age of is he could
write a 'dime novel" in a week that
would find ready sale at from SIS
TO 800.
Richard Harding Davis made his
literary debut with three short
stories. They appeared in the same
month in three leading magazines.
From that day on Mr.. Davis has
never laid his eyes on a Declined

Mrs. Humphrey Wards first seri-
Gus work was Robert Elsmere," a
book So successful that a publisher
offered her S62 900 to write a novel

WHERE PARCHMENT is MADE.

A local paper gives an interesting
account of the manufacture Of
parchment in the old-fashioned town
of Steyning, in Sussex. Lying un-
der the shelter Of the South Downs,
and not far from where the River
Adur cuts through this range, the
staple industry Of Steyning is the
conversion of the skin of the sheep
into parchment.
Only a few of the skins brought
to the factory r finally selected as
good enough for parchment, the
rest, it is said, being made into
"chamois leather"
The skin is split into two layers
the outer one is made into leather
and the inner into parchment. I'm

SOMETHING LIKE A LEASE.
Essen has a Landlord Whose condl.
items Are a Marvel.

There Is a great scarcity of houses
In all the principal cities of Ger
many, due to the great industrial
Developments which have recently
taken place in most Of the German
cities, and which make many of the
inhabitants of the country flock to
the largest towns.
The landlords are reaping a har-
vest and are getting more and more
e%xorbitant in their demands from
the tenants. Such demands do not
only imply an increased rental, but
are incorporated in the leases as spe-
cial conditions.
A young married couple recently
applied to a landlord in Essen for
an apartment in his residence, worth
about 200 a year.
Among the conditions of the lease
which the couple had to sign was
enc providing that the tenants
should not have children nor receive
any children as visitors; receptions
or parties should not be given in
their apartment oftener than once a
year, and the tenants should come
home early every night.
In case the tenants happened to
be late they were enjoined by the
contract not to mount the stairs
without first taking off their shoes,
% that the landlord and his family
should not be disturbed.

Machines Destined to Replace the
Girl with the Pail.

Must the milkmaid follow the
spinning-wheel girl into oblivion, or
be remembered only in the comic
opera chorus?
Prof. G. B. Lane of the United
States bureau of ANNA industry,
doubtless thinks so. He has been
testing a machine whose operator
can milk two COWS at once and save
a lot of time. 1t costs $1,000 to
equip a dairy of 100 COWS with eight
milking machines and a four horse
power engine to provide suction.
The milk is cleaner, according to
Bacteriologist Stocking of the Con-
necticut Agricultural college. Says
he In a recent government bulletin:
TN spite of the extremely high
total number Of bacteria in the ma
chine-drawn milk, the number of
liquefying organisms is in nearly
every case very much smaller than
In the corresponding hand-drawn
milk. 1t is this group which on
tains putrefactive organisms which
get into the milk principally from
the stable filth, and these organisms,
producing putrefactiye fermenta-
tons in the milk, are believed to
cause serious digestive troubles with
children.

Much COnnCern Felt.
Ordinary Methods for Treating Catarrh
Prove Unsuccessful

Recent statistics showing an increase
in catarrh have shaken the confidence in
medical men in the usual prescriptions
to safeguard human health from the
ravages of this disease
When stomach dosing proved inef-
fective, it was natural to look for some
other treatment, and it is believed that
in Hyomei an absolute cure for all ca
tarrhal troubles has at last been found
Breathed through neat pocket inhaler,
its healing medication reaches every
spot where there are catarrhal germs,
destroys, them, prevents their future
growth, and soothes the irritated mu-
cous membrane so that relief is felt al
most instantly, while lasting cure is
practically sure to follow.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs
but 81, and is sold by G. NJ Crosby &
Go. under an absolute agreement to re-
fund the money If it does not give sat
istaction. 1t is the only cure for ca
tarrh that has ever been sold under a
guarantee to cost nothing unless il
cures, but G. M. Crosby & Co have so
much faith in its power to cure all ca
tarrhal troubles, that they are willing
to take the risk, so if Hyomei does not
help you, there will not be penny's
expense. Get an outfit at once on this
liberal plan.

OLD FOLKS

While it is impossible for the aged to

elderly people in Marietta, that thew
can renew their strength by taking our
delicious cod liver preparation, Vinol.
Vinol, being rich in the elements of
life, is an ideal strengthened and BODY
builder for old folks
Mr. A. J. Barker, of Evansville, md.
says: There is no other medicine in
the world equal to Vinol for elderly
people. | would not take a thousand
dollars for the good it has done me-"
Vlnol IS not patent medicine, but a
real cod liver oil preparation made by a
scientific, extractive and concentrating
process from fresh Gods livers combin-
ing with peptOnate-o iron all the me-
dicinal, healing, body building elements
OF cod liver oil, but no oil.
Ninol tones up the digestive organs,
makes rich red blood. and sound, steady
nerves. In this way it repairs worn
tissues, checks the natural decline of
the aged, builds up the run down, tired
and debiitated, and replaces weakness
with strength. We ask every aged or
weak person in Marietta to try Vinol on
our offer to return money if it fails to
