Blushing a Sign of Sense.

Sir Arthur Mitchell, X c. B., of
Edinburgh. who knows much that is
strange about dreams, laughter and
other commonplace human charac-
teristics, has just advanced the con-
soling theory that blushing is an
achievement of which every one who
can blush should be proud.
He says it requires brains to
blush. Idiots cannot blush. neither
can animals. Sir Arthur calls atten-
ton to the fact that tiny infants do
not blush, although they learn to at
an early age, just as soon, in fact, as
the brain begins to exercise it's func-
lions. In blushing, he says, the mind
always must be affected. 1t is al
ways and only bodily expression
of mental state. 1t is natural
thing for blusher to say that he
had tried not to blush. No individu-
al bushes of his own free will. The
blush arises without call instantane-
ously and vanishes almost as quickly.
Neither for its coming nor it's going
is there any exercise of volition. 1t
is controlled, Sir Arthur says, solely
by the brain, and is a positive sign
that there is an active brain there.

The Absent Mindedness of Genius.

The absent mindedness of great
thinkers is a well known phenome-
non. When Morse had completed his
wonderful telegraphic system he con-
fessed to a difficulty which appeared
TO him almost insurmountable. LAS
long as poles can be used" he said
to friend one day, sit is easy But
what. must be done when we come
to bridge? We cannot use poles
there. and the wire would break of
its own weight without some sup
port Well" replied the friend.
why not fix the wires to the
bridge?" Morse looked at him
-thoughtfully for moment, and then
exclaimed. Il never thought of that.
It's the very thing" This instance
of mental concentration on one lead
ing idea to the exclusion of all others
is almost as remarkable as that told
of Sir Isaac Newton, who cut a hole
in his study door to allow his favor
lite cat to come and go freely. and
then cut smaller one for the use
of her kitten.-Dundee Advertiser.

The Ozark Mountains.

The Ozark mountains form a pla-
teau region, from 1900 to 1900
feet above the sea level. extending
with gradual upliftings from the
southern part of Illinois into Mis-
souri,, then, sloping down, enters
Arkansas and Indiana Territory. and
extends into Kansas. The highest
point is Pilot Knob, in Iron county.
Mo. The hills are in separate peaks
or knobs, and not continuous ridges.
The Irregularities which show noun
tain making processes as existing are
not visible here
The Ozark mountains, or Ozark
Plateau. belong with the oldest
mountain regions of the world, and
denudation is slowly but surely re-
moving the once lofty mountains.
The plateau belongs to the Tertiary
period, but Pilot Knob, and vicinity
belong to the Palyaeozoic age North
of the Ozark slope and south of the
Mississippi river is an old food plain.
On the southern slope are large for

Remedy for Choking.

t"Raising the left arm as high as
you can will relieve choking much
more rapidly than the act Of thump-
ing ones back" said a physician,
land it is well that every one should
know it, for often a person gets
choked while eating where there is
no one near to thump him. Very
frequently at meals and when they
are at play, children get choked
while eating, and the customary
manner of relieving them is to slap
them sharply on the back. The
effect of this is to set the obstruc-
ton free. The same thing can be
broughC about by raising the left
hand of the child as high as posi-
BILE. and the relief comes much more
quickly. In happenings of this kind
there should be no alarm, for if the
child sees that older persons or par
ents get excited the effect is bad. The
best thing is to tell the child to raise
its left arm, and Immediately the
difficulty passes away"

! POSTAL BANKS {.

Board of Trustees Will Give 1T Thor.
Ough Test in 48 Second
Class Offices.

Washington, D. c., The board of
system mas approved list Of forty
eight second-claSs postOffices at which
the plan will be given its first trial.
the list includes one Office for each
state and territory.
The list they formally approved was
selected after careful investigation by
the postal officials with view to MAX
ing the first test of the service as
thorough as possible under the limited
appropriation of 100000 provided by
congress, which includes all the ex-
penses and equipment, including the
engraving and printing forms certifi-
Gates, bonds, clerical assistance, etc.
Owing to the smallness of this APP
preparation it has been impossible to
establish postal savings banks during
the first year in the large city post
offices of the country. Communities
were chosen in which the conditions
We're exceptionally favorable for the
development of postal savings bust
ness, mostly indu rial centers where
wage earners will be especially bene-
fitted by, the kind of banking facilities
afforded
A large patronage of the service is
born Americans in these cities who are
now remitting considerable sums to
their native countries, usually in the
form of money orders. Many of the
places selected, particularly those in
the west, are not. adequately provided
with other saving institutions.
1t is probable that the plans devised
for the new postal savings system will
be given at least a months trial in
the original fOrty-eight offices before
others are added to the list, although
it is expected that the number of Of
fees will be largely increased before
the end of the current fiscal year.

Evolution of Marriage.

About the fact that polyandry, or
the marriage of one woman to sew
eral men, was once a widely estab-
lished usage there is no room for
doubt. Caesar found it in Britain,
and Tacitus is authority for the
statement that it was practiced
among the Germans of the early
times. 1t is impossible to be exact
about the chronological order of the
various forms OF marriage. In all
probability the primitive state of
man was one in which marriage did
not exist, except in its plural charac-
ter. when all the men and women in
the community were regarded as
equally married to one another. Then
probably came pOlyandry. followed
by polygamy, which was finally re-
placed by the present form-a sys-
tenn which may well be called re
cent" in comparison with the length
Of time that human society has ex-
listed.

REASONS OF THE DRUGUl.,,.li'.
For Not Having in Stock the Thing
Called For by the Customer.

Called For by the Customer.
Druggists are unaccountable folk
surely. The other day man was
looking for certain patented article
and tried five drug stores in turn
in the same neighborhood before he
was successful. Naturally in the
stores where he failed, the offer Of
something just as good was made.
but that wasn't the thing that hit
him hardest.
In the second store the druggist
said. Il did have that stuff in stock.
but l never had any call for it. The
only people who ever asked for it
were the agents of the company,
and they were around here all the
time to see if we had it in stock. So
l gave it up"
In the next store, block away,
the druggist said: Yes, l did keep
that once, but when l ran out of the
first supply l never could get the
company to send any more. l was
looking out for the wagon all the
time, but for three weeks at a time
they never sent it up here, so l got
tired of waiting. Now l don't keep
it,
You can tie them, but you can't
beat them.

THE PASSING OF THE HORSE.

The consumption of horse beef is in
creaslng with great rapidity in Europe
and it is suggested that even if some
genius should build an electrical stor-
age battery so cheap, so convenient,
and so efficient as to relieve the horse
and the mule of their jobs as beasts
OF burden they would still be bred as
cattle and swine are for their flesh as
a foodstuff
That the horse Will no longer be re-
quired as beast of burden ere this
century is half fulfilled seems prob
able. Then the grain and hay fed him
and the pasture on which he grazes
will be at the disposal of other farm
animals unless the appetite of man
shall demand the flesh of the horse as
food. OF course. the horses will be
bred for racing or for the carriage
and the saddle.
Edison announces that he has per-
fected storage battery that will serve
the purpose. 1t is confidently pre-
dlcted that soon every plOw and farm
vehicle will be Supplied with power
and that it will cheaper production
enormously, enabling single farm
hand to do more work in day, plow-
ing, cultivating, planting and hauling
than half score If men can now ac-
complish. though each were aided by
Il team OF horses or mules. If that
consummatiOn shall be realized. we
ought to hear much less complaint
about the high cos of living than we
near now.-Washilgton Post.

Samuel Butler. the witty but &C.

which means "Nowhere"-an Of
many other remarkable and sugges-

during his lifetime. He died in 1902.
In one of his notebooks he tells this
incident, which must have amused
the great Charles Darwin.
Frank Darwin told me his father
was once standing near the hippo
pOtamus cage when little boy and
girl. aged four and five, came up.
The hippopotamus shut his eyes for
a minute.

CARING FOR TEETH IN THE
SCHOOLS.

In Chicago the movement for free
dentistry in the public schools is grow
ing rapidly under the leadership of
Health Commissioner Evans, of that
city, who declares that it will con-
serve the health of 100000 children,
by saving TIE teeth of poor pupils.
Commissioner Evans asserts that with
decayed teeth children cannot masti-
cate their food properly, and the re-
suit is it does not nourish them as It
should and they become stunted in
body, their mental and physical de-
yelopment is retarded and in tine
their health is undermined and
ruined, because of the inability of
their parents to pay dentists fees.
But aside from the handicaps which
children suffer from having bad teeth
the fact is recognized by the medical
profession that there is greater dan
ger to health! because the cavities Of
decayed molans provide lairs for mil
lions of the deadly germs of scarlet
fever, typhoid and diptheria These
bacilli develop disease quite easily IN
children who are weakened because
of the malnutrition from imperfect
mastication and digestion of food.
Several years ago the movement 70
save the teetk of the children in the
poorer districts was started in New
York, and it resulted in the discovery
that the health of 10000 children can
be conserved every half-year in that
city by giving free dental treatment n
the schools frequented by the children
of the poor. In Chicago and other
cities the dentists are participating IN
| the movement, because they feel tn It
tae poverty or carelessness of parents
should not be permitted to increase
the menace OF future toothless race
OF people in this country.

Tie fall is late, the season thus fax
an extremely open one, and it more
than ever lbehooves the merchants of
any town to push their trade, to slim
ulate their business in every possible
way, TO make up for the shortened
season by an increased activity on
their own part.
In this climate the fall and winter
season is all too brief under normal
conditions. When the season is
shortened by summer lingering in the
lap of autumn" until winter is almost
on the schedule. the mind of the
merchant is apt to suffer some dis
tress. This is but natural.
Tie only way to overcome, in part
at least, the backwardness of tie
season, the evident prolonged disin-
clination of nature to help out trade
in legitimate way, is for the enter
prising merchant to infuse more
vigor than ever into his business
methods, to draw trade with a mag
net that is irresistible, to put facts
and figures before consumers so plain
ly and 50 forcefully that the purse
will inevitably open and the crowd
ed shelves be cleared of their goods.
The man who pushes his business
by advertising this season is the man
who displays sound business judg-
ment.
