Ron1n. on a Barrel.

ThA public in general and life savers in particular should be warned of the danger and folly of rolling on bar rel the bodies of apparently drowned persons. This process has never yet helped to resuscitate, though it has undoubtedly killed many, half drown ed persons. The idea that it pumps out' the water is entirely falla- cious. In the first place, no water enters the lungs of a drowned man till he has been absolutely dead for many hours. In the second, the re- movaI of water from the stomach is quite a secondary consideration com pared with the importance of re-estab- fishing the action of heart and lungs, and rolling body on a barrel is about the surest way of preventing both heart and lungs from resuming their normal functions. Artificial expansion and contraction of the chest by alter nately stretching the arms above the head and compressing the chest with them is the correct first aid to the ap- parently drowned, but never can roll ing on a barrel be anything but dele terious.-New York Times.

Pretty Thin Coffee.

During one of George Graham Vests campaign tours in the early nineties it was necessary for him to sojourn over night in the town of St. Charles. The best hostelry the place afforded was poor enough, and at breakfast Vest was especially put out by the stuff that was placed before him for coffee. After having sampled the beverage Vest, with frown, called for the proprietor. When that individual appeared the senator asked, with a wave of his hand toward the offending liquid smoking innocently before him, "Sir, what is this stuff?'' Coffee" meekly replied the proprietor, somewhat taken aback. "Coffeer" repeated Vest in fine scorn. "My friend. I could insert coffee bean in my mouth, dive into the Missouri river, swim to the town of Alton, H., and I'll guarantee that one could bail up much better coffee than this, sir, over the entire router'

wefxhfne a Hair.

ITO number the hairs of your head is Aot very difficult task" said the re- finer of the assay office to a friend re gently. "A very close approximation can be made by weighing the entire amount, of hair on q mans head and then weighing single hair. The weight of the former divided by that of the latter will, of course, give the desired humber. If you will pluck out a hair from your beard can show you" A long and struggling one was according iy detached, the refiner putting it on a scale which was inclosed in a glass ease and graduated with extreme ac- curacy. With little weights of alumin- fum he piled up one arm until an equi- boise was reached. The hair weighed three Kilograms. eff you reduce this to figures" said the speaker. 'it would require 5000 hairs to weigh one ounce. and. supposing you have six ounces, gou have 4S,OOO hairs."-New York Herald.

Picking Peanuts.

The seeds of the peanut are planted zike beans, and when the vines have come up and the nuts are ready for harvesting the farmer takes a culti- Tator especially made for that pur- pose and starts down the long rows. On either side of this cultivator are two long knives which sink into the kground sufficiently to cut the taproot pf the vine. The same process is gone Through with on the other side of the eine. The main root being thus sev- cred and the ground loosened, the vines are lifted into shocks like corn. They are cured by allowing them to stand in the sun for about ten days, when a colored woman and children are sent into the field to pick the nuts from the vines. An average picker will pick about five bushels 8 day, for which he is paid at the rate of 10 cents bushei.

The s.ehem of Pol<anokes.

The sachem of Pokanoket, known in the history of New England as King Philip. was the youngest son of Chief Massasoit. His Indian name was Pc metacom, but his father was friendly to the English colonists, who gave him the name of Philip His warfare upon fhe settlers some fifty years after the fIrst landing of the pilgrims at Plym- outh rock harassed them greatly, but 179,ilin was at last killed at New Hope, .nd tlae war thus ended. The title of 1r,.r forresponded better with his Eng 1,@n name than the Indian title of eechem would have done

Hov to Detect na.e cofn

Several cases of making and circulat- ing counterfeit coin have been heard at the central criminal court during the last few days. and at the conclusion of one of the cases the foreman of the jury asked the authorities if they would take suggestion from twelve business men who during the year had to deal with considerable sums in silver coin. There was, he said, a most simple test for the detection of base coin. It was to sharply cut the milled edge of good coin against the milled edge of the suspected coin. If spurious the metal would almost immediately begin to shave off. After making a personal test the common sergeant said he quite agreed with the suggestion of the jury as to the usefulness of the test and said 1t ought to be made known.-Lon- don Queen.

Refused the King.

Henry VIII. had six wives. The most extraordinary ambition was dis played by the fair sex in general to obtain the dangerous distinction of be- ing his queen. One instance alone is quoted of his meeting with a refusal and that was on the part of a witty Duchess of Milan, who replied to his offer that she unfortunately had but one head and could not afford to lose it

To Tell Esx., Sex.

''It is usually possible" said a chicken farmer, "to tell from an eggs look whether it will hatch out a rooster or a hen. The egg that will hatch out a hen is, you see. quite smooth at both ends. The one that will give a rooster is wrinkled at the point. Sometimes this rule fails, but, as a general thing it holds good.''

The board Of school and university
lands was represented by Attorney
General Miller. Messrs. .Engerud and

for but q single purpose, that being
the erection &of a plant that should
furnish power and water for the city

There has been raised the question
whether it was legal for the ballot to

argued that the ballot called for only
one proposition which was to cover
both branches or the blant. The at
torney general held that the matter Of

SCIENTIFICALLY sTINeY.

One thing that has impressed the
world with Mr.. Peary's ability as a
financier, rather than as dlscoverer'
is his persistent copyrighting OF the
news articles purporting to relate MS
adventures. No sooner than he had
wired President Taft his melodramat-
ic message announcing the mailing OF
the flag to the pole, than he fastened
to syndicate the story of his travels
and to spend his fifty cents for the
copyrighting of these narratives. II
would have been more generous ior
Mr.. Peary to have taken the world In
n his confidence on a little larger
basis, especially as he is Depending
on that same world to purchase MS
hook and endure his wranglings.
