Vesta was the goddess Of life and Of

hearthstone; her fire burned on the
floor Of every public building. Emf

spent thirty years in service--ten in
learning their duties, ten in practicing
them, ten in teaching novices. After
this term had expired they might. if

treatment of mental disease" 1t seems
that the more you fatten up the men,
tally afflicted the saner they become,
but of course the difficulty lies in pro-
viding the iunatic with adipose tissue,

keep down what our transatlantic

ugliest word for every thing. uncom-

massage, we diet. we fly to these and
those waters, we try all manner of
cures and put ourselves into various
kinds OF straps and pastes and take
violent exercise with the aim Of filming
ourselves down and keeping stoutness
at bay.

part Of men and women to avoid cor

"AN oLD-FAs1loNED WINTER

Those who believe that nature gives
various warnings in the fall when the
winter Is going to be severe, are pre-.
dieting a strenuous season for snow

say that the wild birds which stay In
the north during the winter have IN.
usually thick plumage. The shells OF
nuts are reported to be heavier than
they are when mild winter is coming,
and chestnut burrs are also Of the
olu-1ashioned winter kind, II these
weather prophets are correct. Fur.
bearing animals are more warmly
clad, according TO the same Wiseacres,
than they are before open" winters.
ana the bones Of geese make the same
prophecy. 1t is all very interesting,
but men who make the study of the
weather their life work and bring to
bear upon it all of the learning and
scientific resources of the age, utterly
reject these much trusted warnings.
They are certain that there is nothing
IN the whole theory of animal prep,
aratlons, conscious or unconscious, for
differences in winters. They do not
believe that the trees grow more bark
or put thicker burrs on nuts because
the winter is going to be severe. In
fact, the scientific experts who deal
with the climate seriously and with /
infinite pains, in all civilized countries, I
year after year, are sure that there Is .
