Jockey Powers that she was able TO

in all her races heretofore. and there
was great astonisbment when Powers
was able TO keep her in front all the

Meet or Meefsf

The cashier of a certain bank had a
 placard put up one day. which was printed as follows "The bill commit tee meets at 70 o'clock every morn ing" One of the directors came in soon afterwards, and having read the notice. he begged the cashiers pardon, but said that the verb should have been meet" in the plural number. because the committee was composed of several persons, and their action could not properly be expressed by verb in the singular number. Other directors came in presently, and all took part in the discussion, which was finally re ferred to a well-known linguist, who promptly said that the singular verb, meets" was right It seems strange that a serious discussion should take place over a matter that Is, after all, so simple as this. The committee was, and is, body of men acting as a body in meeting and 1t meets and decides questions in that capacity. Of course, the members, as individuals, meet" each other. but when acting collective Y they act as one. To say that the

Oldest Organ in the World.

In the Baltic sea, forty miles from the mainland, lies the Swedish island Gothland, Mecca for students of early Gothic architecture. In Wisby alone, the chief town of the island, with its population of 5000 souls, may be studied what remains of no less than ten churches, some of which date from the eleventh and twelfth centuries. The oldest of them Is the Church of the Holy Ghost, completed about 1O46.
 Prof. Hennerberg. director in a Ger man music school, and especially inter- ested in the study of medieval organs, visited ifty-nine churches in Gothland, and in a little village called Sundre came upon the remnant of what Is un- occasionally the oldest known organ in existence. The case alone has sur vived the fret of seven centuries; the holes for the pedals and manuals are placed as in modern instruments, and inside one can See the chember for the bellows and judge of their action; the exterior Is adorned with paintings dat. ing from about 1240.
 When this ancient instrument could nc longer serve its original purpose, It WAS used as a sacristy, and for the safeguard of holy vessels and vest nents was kept in careful repair hence its excellent preservation to our day.

A :

| block No 3" of the West Shore Rail- road, just west of the entrance to the weehawken tunnel, says the New York Tribune.
 The device looks like big iron hogs head sunk in the ground. Inside Is a wheel with twenty spokes. On each of the spokes Is a tin-cased torpedo at tached to an arm, and the duty of the complicated cogs and levers beneath the simple looking wheel Is to thrust out these torpedoes upon the track so that the drivers of an engine may cause them to explode.
 Mir. Zorge's system places in each block" of a railroad three circuits, approach" Hooking" and danger" The length of a block is determined by the nature of the traffic, and at the weehawkee tunnel it is mile. A train passing the approach circuit acts, through its iron wheel and axles. as a conductor which carries the electric current from the point where 1t Is re ceived across to another wire, through
 
 the torpedo machine. When the train passes beyond the point mile distant, 1t similarly readjusts the current, leay- ing the entrance to that block clear.
 The point of the device is that if while the train is running through the block another train should come along so close behind as to pass the approach circuit this contact would de-energize the current. Then the mechanism of the signal would be set working and one of the spokes would be thrust out to the track surface and hold torpedo there to be exploded. The concussion would put the engineer on his guard If he had not noticed the semaphore signal

QUEER. ISN'T TIT

ous of the funny figures the absent minded professor whose habitual um- brella-losing procliyities have made generations laugh. This figure had its origin at time, he says, when the man of letters was a helpless person in the active world-a dreamer dwell- ing in realms away from the actual and therefore blind to his surround ings. In this form he has been repre- sented in the comic papers. But Ger many, he thinks, not the professor, has been and Is being caricatured. The professor to-day must be a wide-awake man, for science Is DO longer an Island These are not the days for sleep and for dreams. Another abused character is the lieutenant who, having no foe to fight, Is always shown as making conquests where Amor has command The old maid Is another of the stock figures and one of equal importance is MT.

It has been said that the man out of work" Is a test of civilization. By this is meant that the ability to find employment for the margin of workers easily thrown out of their jobs by shift ing industries or financial depression is a proof of wise government On those terms we know of no government which can make large pretenses to wisdom. But. however that may be, the man out pf work is in very obvious way, test of his country. He shows how well it's citizens have been trained to meet tenn porary diversity with an equal mind. He may display for himself and his class high qualities which are an orna- ment and a safeguard for any nation. And we are free to say that in our opinion the bearing and conduct of our unemployed during the last six months have been such as to make Americans Justly proud.

Cut-Up Pictures.

There is a craze just now for section al pictures. The grown-ups have taken up this children's game and are so fond of it that they have formed clubs in Boston just to play It. If you want to make a sectional picture game I'll tell you how.
 First, you choose large colored pic ture-perhaps your mother will let you take one from a large magazine-and you paste 1t on a sheet of cardboard and after 1t Is dry cut 1t up into little pieces with nice, irregular edges. The "grown-ups" paste the picture on a thin sheet of wood and cut It up with a scroll saw and afterward polish the edges with sandpaper, but this is much harder to do, although It makes the game more durable. When they are all cut out mix up the pieces and then try to fit them together to make the pie lure again. Even when you have cut out the game yourself and know what the picture ought to look like when II is finished you will find 1t hard to put 1t together again and when some one else has made 1t and you don't know what the picture is going to be It is harder. And it is still harder If, when you cut 1t out, you separate the differ ent colors of the picture by cutting along the outlines of the figures. If any one asks you to make something for a fair you might make some sec tional picture games-Chicago News.

Some people are thin and always re- main thin, from temperamental req sons. Probably in such cases nothing san be done to range this personal peculiarity.
 But there are a large number of peo- pie who get thin, or remain thin, who naturally would be plump and fieshy but for some digestive Arrangement.
 Thin people lack in adipose tissue.
 Adipose tissue is chiefly composed of fat.
 Fat is derived from the oily constit- nents of food.
 The fat-making foods are called by the physiologist, hydrocarbons. This class Of foods are not digested in the stomach at all. They are digested in the duodenum, the division of the ali mentary canal just below the stomach.
 The digestion of fat is mainly, if not wholly, the work of the pancreatic Juice. This juice is of alkaline reac- ton, and is rendered inert by the addi- ton of acid. A hyperacidity of the digestive fluids of the stomach passing down into the duodenum, destroys the pancreatic fluid for digestive pur- poses. Therefore, the fats are not di- gested or emulsif1ed, and the system is deprived of its due propor ton of oily constituents. Hence, the patient grows thin.
 The beginning of the trouble Is ca tarrhal condition of the stomach which causes hyperacidity of the gastric juices. This hyperacidity is caused by fermentation of food in the stomach. When the food is taken into the stom- ach, if the process of digestion does not begin immediately, acid fermenta- ton will take place. This creates . hyperacidity of the stomach juices which in their turn prevent the pam creatic digestion of the oils, and the cancellation results.
 A dose of Peruna before each meal hastens the stomach digestion. By hurrying digestion, Peruna prevents fermentation of the contents of the stomach, and the pancreatic juice is thus preserved in its normal state. It then only remains for the patient to eat s sufficient amount of fat-forming foods, and the thinness disappears and plump ness takes its place.
