Gently tested for the government.
Most OF them were very good"
said Professor Frear. The taste test

From Harper's Weekly.

Some years ago an expedition from
the University of Pennsylvania was
sent to one of our Southern states for
the purpose OF observing a solar eclipse.
The day before the event one of the
professors said to an old darby be-
longing to the household wherein the
scientist was quartered:
Tom. If you will watch your chick
ems tomorrow morning you'll find that
they'll all go to roost at ii O'clock"
Tom was, of course, skeptfcal: but at
the appointed hour the heavens were
darkened and the chickens retired to
roost. At his the negro's amazement
howed no bounds, and he sought out
the scientist.
"Perfesser." said he. "how long ago
did you know dem chickens would go
to roost?'
About a year ago." said the pro-
lessor. smilingly.
We'll. eff dat don't beat ALL" was the
darky's comment. "Perfesser, a year
ago dem chickens want even hatched."

Many people persist in riding on the street cars, insuhchnhy protected
by clothing.
They start Mi perhaps in the heat OF the day and do rot feel the need Of
wraps.
The rapid moving Of the car cook the body unduly. When they board the
car perhaps they are slightly perspring. When the body is in this condition
it is easily chilled. This is especially rue when a person Is sitting.
Beginning q sreetc car ride in the middle Of the day and ending it in the
vening almost invariably requires extra wraps, but people do moi observe
these precautions. hence they catch cold.
Colds are very frequent in the spring on this count nj as the
advances. they do not decrease. During the spring months. nc me should
think of riding on the car without being provided with a wrap.
A cold caught in the spring is liable to latt through the entire summer.
Great caution should be observed att season against exposure to cold.
During the first few pleasant days Of spring, the liability Of catching cold is
great.
No wonder so many people acquire msscuar rheumadsma and catarrhal dis
eases during this season.
However, in spte Of the greatest precautions. colds will be caught.
At the appearance of the first symptom; Per1na should be taken accord
ing to directions on the BOTTLE, I'M continued until everys symptom disappears.
Do not pt it OF. Do not waste time by taking other remedies Begin a
oncet o take Peruna a continue taking it unity you are positive that the
cold has entirely disappeared. This may save you a long and perhaps serious
illness later u.

How . Hat Is S;zad

c. writes that the size of a ho. |. calculated on curious princfnle ,s Is the length plus the breadth divided by 2. Thus head S;A inches long and ana 5% inches broad would require hot size of 141a divided by 2, which is 7N -Gladstone's size. ~
 Your correspondent c. is perfect,v right in his description of the cur,ona way in which the size of a hat is nh. tained, writes G.. but his sample di. mensions are slightly misleading such an "ovar" as S34 inches by 5% inches would scarcely be met with twice in lifetime. The normal difference he. tween the length and width (technicaI. ly called the ''ovar) is invariably through the gamut of sizes 11h inches Thus an ordinary 6& hat would meas. ure 7h inches long and 6 inches wide and a "A -four sizes bigger 8 inchs long and 6l5 inches wide. The longest head l have measured in many thou. sands was SIS by 74s, which is the equivalent of a 2& inch oval.

In their histories" he said, when gov

been actually accomplished by "legis-
lation regulating or pretending to regu-

ward Federal control of public acts and

instance, as a child labor law. refores-
tation 10 preserve stream supply, etc,
