a Queer Trunk Problem.

One Of the minor problems that pre-
sent themselves to managers Of homes
for elderly persons is the accumulation
of trunks. Each new arrival brings
one or more trunks, often several, and
it is not expected that these ever VIII
be taken away, as the inmates are to
remain permanently. 1t is not, how
ever. considered safe to sell the trunks
or give them away, as they are the
private properly Of the inmates, and
there is Il possibility that the trunks
may be needed again through some
change in affairs or fortunes. The
trunks therefore pile up until they
become the despair CT managers. and
it is Il relief when some OF The older
or least substantial boxes break apart
from mere Gecrepitulc and can con-
scieniiouslJ ha consigned to The scrap
heap.-New York Press.

Poess AmbidextrOus Hoax.

Many traditions and stories of
Edgar Allan Poe are still current at
the University of Virginia, at Char
lottesville, where he was student.
Poe was very proud of his pen
manship. One day, so the story
goes, friend entered the room to
find Poe writing busily, with both
hands. j.,
"What are you doing?" asked
the friend. -,
Writing with both hands, said
Poe.
Both hands!' exclaimed the
friend. ''But how on earth can
you make any progress in that
way?"
easy enough. 1t is theory of
mine that it S a waste tf time not
to be able to use both hands at the
same time. Both hands and brain
may be trained, with care and at
tention, so that each hand may DO
it's full share of work--each hand
being employed on separate task.
1t is not really an affair OF the
hands at all, in the last analysis,
but an affair of the intellect. l am
training my hands and brain now
so that | can do twice as much
work as the ordinary person IN a
given period of time. At the pres
ent moment, l am writing a poem
with my right hand; one that con-
fdently- believe will startle the
world. And with my left hand l
am blocking out a wonderful story;
story that should capture thous-
ands Of readers.
1T will be only short time be-
fore | will be able to take my ex-
aminations in this manner, and dis
pose of two subject simultaneously.
1t will save time, and will give
hands and brain their full duty"

An Italian journalist has the copy CT
the Bible which Napoleon used during
his compulsory sojourn in the Isle or
Elba. 1t is copy of a cheap popular
edition, illustrated with rough wood
cuts. with the initial n. and the i'm;
perial crown stamped upon its back.
A number Of texts are underlined and
the inference is that the exiled en-
peror searched the Scriptures for pas
sages appropriate to his misfortune
and his hopes. Il will smite the shep-
herd. and the sheep shall be scattered"
is perhaps the most significant of them.
The Bible was discovered in the sane
tuary CT the Madonna del Monte, in

A town that never has anything
to do in a public way is on the way
to q cemctary. Any citizen VITO
will do nothing for his town ishelp-
ing to dig the grave. A man that
curses the town furnishes the cot
fin. The man who is so selfish as
to have no time from his business
to give to city affairs is making the
shroud. The man who will not ad-

man who is always pulling back

Ecnnomy Of Costly Foods.

The economy of expensive foods Is
explained by the fact that Digestion
at least in man, is dependent upon
flavors, without which it is so defec-
tive that we do not obtain the good OF
the food we swallow. AS far as ex-
periments go. they substantiate these
assertions, for the sight and smell OF
pleasing food start the flow OF di-
gcstivc fluids, while disagreeable odors
and sight stop it. Delicatessen, then'
would seem to be staples, for they are
necessary. The talk of being able to
subsist on few cents q day is simply
nonsense and leads to deterioration OF
health. What seems to be extraya-
gance in food purchases may pc
wholesome instinct. The high cost OF
living is partly due to the cost OF the
flayors we need. We commend these
ideas to our worthy dietetic econo'
mists. Laymen may not be so foolish
as the psychologists themselves -

This thing of helping others TO get

II is serious thing TO marry, and some
people find IL difficult 10 get partners.
Why. we find as far back as the Judges
in the old testament time. that men were
asking for help in the same way that this
young woman In New Jersey asks It,
Samson was the strongest man OF his
time. He could remove pillars from a mas
sive structure and carry them away, but
when he came to get wife he had to ask
his father TO help him. When his father
and mother were Gliding him for not being
able to get a wife from his own people
and having TO 20 down among the Phil
istines, Samuel protested against their re-
proof and chung TO tthe woman who had
found favor in his eyes

eye. he told his father.

those days had to have help 10 get a Jtte.
