mo DOGS IN HEAVEN.r
Minister Says Many Women win Be
Out Of Work There.

Brockton, Mass.-Paying his re-
spects to certain modern women,
whom he classed as members of the
poodle dog brigade, so much in evil
dence in our generation" and con-
trasting them to women of the Bible,
who deemed motherhood sacred, the
Rev. A. G. Archibald, of the First
Baptist Church, declared:
There will be no dogs in heaven,
and many of our modern women will
be out of employment there. The
women of the Scriptures were mighty
in real greatness. They did not prac-
tice law, become surgeons nor run
automobiles. These things do not
make women great. A mother who
gives to her land a'man clean of heart,
firm of principle and clear Of mind
does more for civilization than FIVE
thousand of the poodle dog brigade" :"

A wonderful fruit has been found in
the neighborhood of the coast of the

power, says report, to change the
flavor OF the most acid substance into
delicious sweetness" An official has
found it effective after a. dose of

Many japanese women gild their
teeth. Women of Arabia stain their
fingers and toes red. In Greenland
women paint their faces blue and yell
low, In India the women of high
castles paint their teeth black. Hin
doc bride is annoiuted from head to
loot with grease and saffron. Borneo
women dye their hair in fantastic
colors-pink, green, blue and scarlet.
In New Holland scars, made carefully
with shells, form elaborate patterns on
the women's faces. In some. South
American tribes the women draw the
front teeth, esteeming as an orna,-

Sponge Divino in Greek IsIanos,

In many Of the Greek islands diving
for sponges forms a considerable part
of the occupation Of the inhabitants.
The natives make it a trade to. gather
these, and their income from this
source Is good. In one of the islands
girl is not permitted to marry until
she has brought up certain number
OF sponges and given proof of her skill
by taking them from a certain depth.
But in some of the islands this custom
is reversed. The father of marriage
able daughter bestows her on the best
diver among her suitors, He who can
stay longest in the water and bring up
the biggest cargo of sponges marries
the maid.

Philadelphia.-Here is a story that
ought to send thrills of Joy to the
hearts of bashful men who haven't
been able to muster up nerve enough
to pop the question" to the girl o.
their choice and who have been hop
ing fondly for another leap year to
roll around. Just take the girl on an
unsuspecting visit to the laboratory Of

sity of Pennsylvania. which is direct
ed by DIR. Lightner Wilmer. head Of
the department of psychology.
Then have her place her hand daint.
lily in a machine which you will no
tice is labeled a "phthysmograph" or
"phygmograph," whatever that may
be. and step into an adjoining room to
await developments.
What the machine does is to regis
ter on a piece of paper a distinct line,
which designates with precise correct
ness the very emotions the mention of
your name to the girl has caused her
to experience.
II the line sinks despairingly down.
ward toward the bottom Of the paper
take it from the proposed machine"
that your stock is rather low with the
little woman, and you had better seize
upon a confidential tip on paper and
continue to press your suit a time
longer.
If, however, and this is important,
the line fairly leaps and bobs toward
the top of the paper, everything's all
right and you ought to rush out into
the room where the girl is seated,
draw her to your breast and say
"Well, tell me. why didn't | think of
this long ago."
Before going into the details Of how
this "phygmograph" works out in ac-
tual practice, some idea ought TO be
given of its mechanical construction
In the first place there is a small
metal cylinder on the inside of which
is a rubber lining which fits the hand
like a glove 1t is into this rubber
glove the girl inserts her hand.
The space between the glove and
the cylinder is filed with water, and
on top OF the cylinder is a tube that
acts as a gauge, showing a contrac-
ton or an expansion Of the girls
hand.
AS the hand contracts the water
falls in the tube. At the same time a
like effect is caused in a long rubber
tube and passing through the parti,
ton into the adjoining room; connect
ed with the hose is a sort of piston
like apparatus, tipped with rubber
diaphragm, at the end of which is a
lever which registers the contractione
or expansions on the paper.

MAN IN THE IRON MASK
Was He MoIiere7-M. Gossclin-Leno-
tire Offers New Theory as to
MYste rIous Prisoner.


Paris.-M. Gosselin-Lenotre, the
noted historical writer, Is engaged up
on n book which will present a new
theory on the always fascinating sub
ject OF the Man in the Iron Mask. He
advances no less an idea than that the
mysterious prisoner Of the Bastile and
the Isle Sainte Marguerite, whose
story saddened the hearts of so many
novel readers. was the comedian and
incompatible dramatist Moliere.
The recognized authority OF Le-
notre is such that the publication OF
his new work is likely to create very
decided sensation. His experience in
minute examination of historical docu-
ments is exceptional, and It is said
that his new theory is entirely based
upon such evidence. He asserts that
Moliere. after the supposed fatal seiz-
ure at the playhouse, did not die at
once, but, by order of the King, was
arrested and incarcerated.
There are discrepancies OF dates
between his story and the accepted
history of Moliere which Lenotre must
reconcile il his version is to find be-
levers; and, then, there is the Jaw
bone Of Moliere piously conserved at
the Comedie Franchise There are
anxious inquiries as to how Lenotre is
going to account for its presence
there or whether he will pronounce it
to be as apocryphal as the skull OF
Yorick. which was the indispensable
property of every great Shakespearian
actor from Garrick to Edwin Booth.

Deafness and Other Senses.

An ear specialist insists that deaf
ness affects all the senses. He says
the reason for this is that the ear
is only one servant of the. sensory ser
vice of the human system. Loss of
hearing is really a partial paralysis Of
the brain. but owing to the sympa-
thetic connection of the various SEN
sorry nerve centers of the brain. the
others indirectly concerned have to
combat for their very life the demoral-
zing influence of the affected center.
