Then put in cotton bag large enough
to cover the lungs and apply to chest
as hot as patient can bear. In about
ten minutes apply another, and thus
continue by reheating the poultices,
and in few hours the patient will be
out of danger. This simple remedy
has never failed to cure this too-often
fatal malady. Usually three or four
applications will be sufficient, but con-

Britons Have to Use a Lot Of Words

we have it on the British in the mat
ter of addresses? For instance, New

compact fashion:

to inscribe himself somewhat after the

of street numbers had been introduced
at all and cities were still maze of
little streets, addresses were a very
complicated affair. 1 once saw an au-

SHOE SIZES.
The Way They Were Arbitrarily Fixed
nv a Erenchman

by Frenchman.
Stockings have always been meas
ured by the inch from heel to toe, but
the numbering of shoes was fixed
long time ago by a Frenchman, and
it's so long ago that only one New
York dealer could be found who knew
anything about it. Even he didn't
know the inventors name.
The Frenchman permanently fixed
the numbers of shoes for all Europe
and America. He arbitrarily decided
that no human foot could possibly be
smaller than three and seven-eighths
inches, so, calling this point zero, he
allowed one-third Of an inch to size
and so built up his scale. Consequent
Iy man cannot find out the number
of his own shoe unless he is an expert
at exact arithmetic. And even then
he is likely to go wrong, because all
shoe experts allow for the weight OF
the individual and the build of his foot
before they try to determine what size
shoe he ought to wear.
As far as women's shoes are concern
ed the problem is still more difficult,
because many of the manufacturers,
instead of keeping to the regular scale,
have marked down their numbers one
or two sizes in order to capture easily
fattered customers For this reason
most dealers ask out of town custom
ers to send an old shoe with their or
ders.
The system of measuring hats is much
simpler. Any man can tell what size
he wears by simply adding the width
and length of the inner rim and then
dividing by two. Orders can also be
sent to the storekeeper by stating the
circumference Of the head.-New York

Apropos of beads, etymologists tell us

which from time immemorial have
been used to keep count of prayers, for
'biddan" is to pray in the old Anglo
Saxon tongue. and "beadsman" is one
employed to pray for others. BE
odan," to proclaim, is a kindred word
and has its outcome in the bidding

SoME confusion was created over the
question whether Good Friday was legal
holiday A bill was passed by the last
Legislature making the day legal holi
day, but Governor Fort vetoed 1t on the
ground that a law had been enacted by
the Legislature Of 1907, making the day a
sspublic holiday" There seems to be a
distinction without difference in the
words legal" and public" holiday. The
original act which designates that certain
days which are named and which are re-
cognized in this state as legal holidays,
reads to the effect that those days shall be
deemed and taken to be public" holidays
and that Saturdays after twelve o'clock
shall be public" half holidays In ad
dition to the days named the law says
that any day designated by the Governor
of this state or the President of the United
States as day of thanksgiving or fasting
and prayer, shall be public holiday.
It will be noticed that the term legal"
holiday does not appear in the law. So
that the law enacted In 1907 which named
Good Friday as public" holiday. was
following the phraseology of the original
act. The school law pfescribes that mo
teacher shall be required to teach school on
any day declared by law to be public
holiday" There does not seem to be
anything considered 10 any of the enact
ments but the term public" holiday. Yet
the yetoing of the bill of the last last SEES
ion cast doubt on the subject and some
places observed the day, while Others did
not, yet to the lay mind the situation
seems to be perfectly clear.

Moose Are Exceedingly Fond of These
Pretty Flowers.

Moose Are Exceedingly Fond of These
Pretty Flowers.
At first thought it would appear i'm
possible that such large, gaunt deni-
zens of the forest as moose could in
any way be interested in flowers. They
are, however, exceedingly fond Of all
kinds of water lilies. Few people
know that these flowers grow from
thick snake-like root stocks which are
SO firmly attached to the bottom that
the strongest man cannot loosen them.
1t is from these firmly moored root
stocks that the much admired leaves
and flowers strive toward the light.
A well known naturalist who studied
the habits of the animals In northern
Minnesota, where moose are more nu-
merous than in any other part Of the
world, often found two or three big
bulls engaged in gathering their morn
ing meal on the lake bottom. The
great beasts would slowly stalk about
in three or four feet of water, and
often their heads would be under water
for. half a minute at time, so that
their backs would look like powders
just protruding from the stream; then
a pair of magnificent antlers would
come up, and the water would be-
shaken out of the big ears with fiap-L
ping noise that could be heard for al
quarter Of a mile, and then the big
long muzzle would be leisurely chew
ing a dripping mouthful of water lilyI
leaves and other plants gathered from
the bottom.
So intent were the huge animals on
gathering flowers that several times
the naturalist could row up close
enough to secure a good photograph
before they splashed noisily back to
the shore and disappeared in the black
spruce. When the moose find good
lily pond they continue feeding In 1t
until the plants are almost exter-

GOVERNOR Fort has vetoed the Dill
intended to make certain exemptions IN
the assessment of bank stock. There are
two methods of assessment now in vogue.
The Supreme Court has decided that one
course is to be pursued and the State
Board of Taxation has prescribed
another. As the latter body is in con-
troll of appeals on the subject 1t appears
to have thesupper hand. The rule set
down by the State Board is that the last
selling price, less specified deductions,
shall be the basis. This allows sale to
be made just prior to the Goth of May at
at price to be decided upon by the
parties interested and the assessors must
take 1t for their guidance. Perhaps this
may be law and common sense but it does
not bear that impression. Suppose that
the stock of the Farmers Bank, of
Mount Holly, which will bring $50 per
share at any time, should be reported
sold on the 18th of May for $50, would
any assessor be justified in valuing it at
that price7 The answer to this query is
plain.

GovERNoR Fort fulfilled his promise to
dispose of all bills within the time pre-
scribed by law, and on Friday he finished
the work. He has vetoed twenty mine
measures, has cut about one hundred
thousand dollars from the appropriation
bills, which foot up more than five million
dollars for the year; and has dug up from
the safe of the House clerk the bill to
pension retired judges and endorsed that
measure, despite opposition manifested in
both the Senate and Assembly. The most
important measure vetoed was the Freling
huysen bill, permitting national and State
banks to deduct their nontaxable securities
from their capital stock and surplus in
making their returns for taxation on their
personal property. 1t was declared by
the assessors that had the bill become a
law it would have taken large sum from
the tax ratables By investing in nom
taxable securities banks all over the State
could have very materially reduced their
personal property taxes. The bill to
pension retired judges was measure in
which the Governor was personally in
terested, In view of his services on the
bench He was surprised to find that it
had not been turned over to him with
other passed bills, and he Immediately
instituted search for it. He found it in
the safe of the House clerk, Mr.. Parker,
together with another bill, and he at once
affixed his signature to both. He was at
loss to understand why the bill should
not have been given to him. The Judges

Curious Incident In the Career OF
NoueIist Crockett.

Curious Incident In the Career OF
Novelist Crockett.
S. R. Crockett, the novelist, told
rather remarkable story of an incident
that befell him in his early writing
days. before fame and fortune had
come to him and while he struggled
on for a living. At that time he was
Obliged to write for very small sums
indeed, and among the publications 10
which he contributed columns and half
columns was the st. James Gazette,
a London penny evening newspaper
One morning the postman brought 10
Mr.. Crockett a letter from the edltor
of the st. James Gazette containing
a small check as payment for con-
trihution. Mr.. Crockett knew that
nothing was due to him, that he had
been paid for all his articles, andre
markable mamie did the check up In
an explanatory note and returned 1t to
the editor.
The next day back came the cheek
from the editor = remarkable man =
with a note saying it was due The
ST James Gazette had published an
article from the pen of Mr.. Crockett
which had not been paid for; hence
the check. Again Mr.. Crockett-re-
markable man = returned the check,
and still the remarkable editor refor
warded It, this time with the article
cut out of the columns Of the St
James Gazette.
Now comes the curious feature OF
the incident. When Mr.. Crockett clap
ped eyes on the article he was aston
ished to find it one of his dreams
materialized One night, going to bed
extra tired. he dreamed that good
idea for ST. James Gazette column
had occurred to him; that he then and
there sat down, wrote it and posted it.
Next morning he remembered his
dream and made up his mind some
day to write the article exactly as he
dreamed he had written it, when, to
his establishment, came article and
check from the newspaper. Few writ
ers earn checks while asleep.
