FrOgskin For Grating.

In letter to the Lancet, DR.. Rank
ing Of Oxford tells of the use of frog
skin for grating. For more than
twenty years. says the physician,
"the frog has furnished me with CRAFTS
In all cases requiring such treatment
My first use of it was in my own case
I had suffered for nearly three years
from obstinate liberation of the skin

treatment and steadily refused to heal

than twenty years having elapsed. the

none of the pickering and stiffness so
often seen in cicatrices where human

he used frogskin in every case of the

A Wonderful Clock.

A strange story is told of clock be-
longing to Hindoo prince. Near the
dial is a big gong, hung on poles, while
underneath, scattered ON the ground, is
a pile of artificial skulls and ribs, leg
bones and arm bones, tleA whole num-
Der being equal to thoseifn twelve hui
man skeletons. When the hands of the
clock indicate the hour ofsl, the bones
necessary to form one complete skele-
ton move together with snap, and the
skeleton springs up, seizes mallet
and, walking up to the gong, strikes it
blow. Then it walks back to the pile
of bones and falls to pieces. At 2
o'clock two skeletons rise and strike
the gong. and so on, the S,aEber being
increased each hour, unit Il noon and
again at midnight all /the bones rise
and take shape, making twelve skele-
tons which strike the gong one after

This is hard to believe. but an appar-

Gagged. and the cage was hung in
tree The mother soon came calling
to the little ones. and in little while
she brought them some worms. She
continued for several days to feed

one day she brought them sprig of
green in the morning and disappeared
In less than an hour the young birds
We're dead. An examination of the

How to walk Upstair..

Perhaps it has never occurred to the
boys and girls that there is a good way
and bad way to walk upstairs. Hear
what a well known physician says
about it, There are few persons who
know how to walk upstairs properly.
Usually a person will tread on the ball
Of his foot in taking each step, spring
ing himself up to the next step. This
is not only tiresome, but is wearing on
the muscles, as it throws the entire
suspended weight of the body on the
legs and the feet. In walking upstairs
the feet should be placed squarely
down on the step, heel and all, and
then the ascent should be made with
out hurry. In this way there will be no
strain on any particular muscle, but
each will do its work in natural man

Tribute to Public schools.

Figures concerning the students ma
circulated at Cornell in the last TWEEN
ty years indicate that AZ per cent have
come from private schools and 50 per
cent from public schools. OF private
school pupils 1o3 were dropped after
the first term and Ill from public
schools, and the percentage of failures
among the public school graduates is
much lower than those of private
schools. Consequently the Cornell fac
ulty favors Withdrawing the privilege

EUROPEAN SOLONS.
Either Low Pay No Pay Is the
Rule For Lawmakers.

The Norwegian member of parlia-
ment gets little more than SO day for
his public services, and even then when
he takes a day off he loses his pay. The
same is the case with the members of
the Swiss diet. They are rewarded
with 81 day on condition that they
do not absent themselves from work.
To go farther east it is found that
Roumania thinks her lawmakers worth
S. a day. Four dollars is the daily
wages Of those who compose the Bull
garian sobranje, but members who live
in the capital get only So daily.
Denmark is about the stingiest of all
European countries SO far as remuner
ish members of parliament get only
$1.50 a day, but, on the other hand,
they have the odd privilege of free
seat in the Royal theater at Copenha-
gen.
While the members of the German
reichstag are not salaried, the law
makers of the various German states
do not work for nothing. Saxe-Coburg
members of parliament are paid about
1925, those of Bavaria $3.50 and of
Hesse 50 %
At first sight Hungary seems to do
her lawmaking on the cheap plan, for
her members get ST 1000 year in cash.
But they are not so badly off after all,
for a liberal allowance is made into
the bargain for house rent Austria
Hungary's two legislative assemblies
cost the country about 100000 a year
in all. Both in Austria and Hungary
legislators can travel first class with
second class tickets
Besides the United Kingdom, Italy
and Spain are the only countries which
pay nothing to the members of parlia-
ment.
In Portugal also the state does not
remunerate legislators, but they re-
ceive free railway passes, and their
constituencies are legally permitted to
pay those who represent them a sum
OF about 1915 for each days session.

A Yoke That Lincoln Made,

The University of Illinois has lately
added a number of relics to its Abra-
ham Lincoln collection. Among other
treasures in the university's possession
is an OK yoke made by Lincoln at New
Salem, ILL.,, in 1880, when he was twen-
ty-one years old. 1t remained there
until 1S49. just after Lincoln's return
from his only term in congress. Then
Lincoln and his brother-in-law, Clark
Nj. Smith, visited New Salem together.
While there the two attended an auc-
ton sale of farm chattels, among which
was the OK yoke. When the yoke was
offered for sale it was treated as a nov
city because made by congressman.
Lincoln acknowledged having made
the yoke, and Mr.. Smith bid it off. say
ing lit was worth taking home as a
souvenir because made by his brother
in-law and member of congress-

As the true meaning of the term
creole is often misunderstood, it might
be well to explain it, says the Chicago
News. Many persons think it means
one with negro blood in his veins, but
that is great error. In general terms
a creole is person born of European
parents in the American colonies of
France or Spain or in the states that
were formerly colonies of those coun-
tries. But we use the term specifically
TO mean person of French or Spanish
descent, who is native inhabitant of
Louisiana or of one of the adjoining
states bordering on the gulf of Mexi-
CO. These persons are as free from
negro blood as are any native Ameri-
cans
