For Military Service.
Among the ancient Spartans every
thing was considered secondary to mil.
itary efficiency. and with a view to Sc.
curing this the boys and men were by
law kept in continual state of train
ing" No deformed child was allowed
to live. Boys were taken from their
homes and subjected to military regu-
lations at the age of seven. They were
compelled to wear the same single gar
ment winter and summer. At twenty

age till they reached sixty were re.

where only certain quantity was sup
piled for each man. The magistrates
interfered in absurdly small matters.
They regulated the degree of fairness to
which 1t was lawful for any citizen to
extend his body.
Those who dared to grow too fat or
too soft for military service and exer.
else were sometimes soundly fogged.
Aelian in his history relates that
Nauclis, son Of Polytus, was brought
before the ephors (rnagistrates) and the

MEERSCHAUM PIPES.
A 1est by Which to Tell the Genuine
From the Spurious.

A 1est by Which to Tell the Genuine
From the Spurious.
Once upon a time there was a man
who spent eight of the best years of
his life coloring meerschaum pipe,
only to find at the end of that period
that he had been nursing a piece Of
'massakopfe" instead of the genuine
"ecume de mer." The "massakopfe'
is a composition made of the parings of
genuine meerschaum and mineral
clay. The parings are triturated to a
fine powder, boiled in water and mold
ed into blocks, with or without the ad-
dition of clay. Each block is then cut
into bowl, but as it contracts consid-
erably it must be left some time to
dry. These bowls are distinguished
from the genuine meerschaum by their
greater specific gravity, but there is no
absolutely certain test by which the
real meerschaum can be told from the
composition.
In forming a pipe from 'ecume de
mer'' the silicate of magnesia is pre-
pared for the operation by soaking in
a composition of wax, oil and fats.
The wax and Oil absorbed by the meer-
schaum are the cause Of the color pro-
duced by smoking. The heat of the
burning tobacco causes the wax and
fatty substances to pass through the
stages of a dry distillation, and, be-
coming associated with the products
of the distillation of the tobacco, they
are diffused through the substances OF
the bowl, producing those gradations
of tint which are so much priced. III
some cases the bowls are artificially
colored by dipping them, before being
soaked in wax, in a solution Of sui
plate Of iron, either alone or mixed
with dragons blood.
Good meerschaum is soft enough to
be indented by the thumb nail. 1,
yields readily to the knife, especially
after having been wetted. There are
various densities. Some kinds sink il
water; others float ON the surface
Those of medium density are preferred
by the pipe maker. for the light varie
ties are porous and even cavernous
Many judges assume that the heavier
kinds are spurious, but there is no alb
solute proof that such is the case. a
negative test may be mentioned. The
composition bowls never exhibit those
little blemishes which result from The
presence of foreign bodies in the nat
ural meerschaum. Therefore if &
blemish occur in a meerschaum bowl
which is very frequently the case, the
genuineness of the bowl is RENDERED
most probable. But as blemishes d.
not show until after the bowl has beer
used for some time the test Is not Of
much value.-New York Press.

WHAT is A DAY?
You Probably Think 1t Is Twenty-four
Hours, but 1t Isn't.

You Probably Think 1t Is Twenty-four
Hours, but It Isn't.
Nine persons out of ten--yes, 900 out
of every 1,OOO-if asked how long it
takes the earth to turn once on its
axis would answer twenty-four hours.
and to the question, How many times
does it turn on its axis in the course
OF the year? the answer would be
1854 times. Both answers are wrong.
1t requires but twenty-three hours
and fifty-six minutes for the earth to
make one comp. etc turn. and it makes
1864 turns during the year. The err
ror springs from wrong idea of what
is meant by day.
The day Is not, as is commonly sup
posed, the time required by the earth
to make one turn on it's axis, but the
interval between two successive pas
sages of the sun across the meridian
that Is to say. the time which elapses
after the sun is seen exactly south in
its diurnal course through the heavens
before 1t is again seen in that position.
Now, in consequence Of the earth s
revolution in it's orbit or path round
the sun, the sun has the appearance
of moving very slowly in the heavens
in a direction from east to west. AT
noon tomorrow the sun will be short
distance to the east Of the point in the
heavens at which it is seen at noon
today, so that when the earth has
made one complete turn it will still
have to turn four minutes longer be-
fore the sun can again be seen exactly
south

Etiquette Or CALLS.
Some of the Things That Are and Ar
Not In Good Taste.

Some of the Things That Are and Are
Not In Good Taste.
Every one is aware that a married
woman when paying a formal call on
another married couple leaves two of
her husbands cards in the hall when
coming in or going out.
But every one does not know that
when the hostess is q widow only one
card should be left.
Punctilious people always call at a
house from whence they have received
an invitation, and this whether 1t has
been declined or accepted. But with
the one exception of returning first
call, which should be done as reason
ably soon as possible, the question as
to what time should elapse between
social visits is one that must be left
to the good taste and good sense of
the caller.
Many people with a large and In
creasing circle keep book In which
they note the date Of their calls, and In
this connection it should be stated that
it is a compliment to call on the right
day-that is, when the hostess is
known to be at home to her friends.
It used to be considered the right
thing for a formal visit only to last
about n quarter of an hour. 1t not in.
frequently happens that an idle wom-
an will arrive early and stay late IL
she happens to be amused and II she
has nowhere else to go. Such behavior
is particularly inconsiderate when the
drawing room of her hostess happens
to be q small one and when other Wis.
itors are many.
In the country long calls are, OF
course, permissible. but not in town.
Again, it Is not good taste to make
appointments to meet a friend at an.
other friends house, and yet this is
frequently done, to the natural annoy
ance Of the hostess, who feels that her
reception room is being used much as
might be a station waiting room.-New
York American.

MORE INTEREST TAKEN.
PROF. THoMPsoNs GOOD WORK
HAS WON HIM PRIZES-lNDIAN-
APoLIS CLUB PLAYED HERE
NEXT SATURDAY.

The golf season at the Richmond
Country club, will end Monday with
the game against FIT. Wayne. The sea-
son this year has been one of the best
in the history of thelocal club. There
has been more golf and much faster
golf played this year than ever be-
fore. The club championship was
won by Dudley Elmer, who defeated
John F. Thompson in a hard fought
contest.
Greater interest has been taken in
the golf here because Of the many
beautiful prizes that have been offered.
The two Nusbaum cups which were Of
fered for a handicap contest, were won
by e. P. Trueblood and DR.. Charles
Bond.
The two Austin cups were presented
to the club by w. J. Austin of Pasa-
dena, Cay, for the lowest score and
the next lowest score and this year
were won by Dudley Elmer and Prof.
Thompson. Mr.. Thompson also won
the runners up cup.
Prof. Thompson probably played a
more steady game during the season
than any other player. He won a
state prize and captured two of the
Country club prizes. The state prizes
won at Indianapolis, consisted Of two
wooden clubs, driver and a brassie.
The game Saturday with the Indian.
apolis Country club, promises to be
one of the best that has been seen on
the local course this year. The locals
were defeated by the capital city boys
some time ago and they hope to even
up matters Saturday .
