The Untidy AFGHAN.

A San franciscan was praising General
Funston. "a wonderful man." he said.
with such energy and zeal and fire as
his, 1t is no wonder he achieved such quick
success.
General Funston Is a great stickler for
cleanliness among soldiers. I once heard
him. make a little speech on military
cleanliness, In the course Of which he told
a story about an Afghan.
He said that in one Of the lesser Indian
hill wars. In English detachment took an
Afghan prisoner.
The Afghan was very dirty. Accord
ingly two ~privates were deputed to strip
n wash him.
The privates dragged the man to a
stream of water, undressed him, plunged
him in, and set to upon him Justify with
stiff brushes and large cakes Of white
soap.
We'll after a long time, one Of the pri-
Yates came back to make a report. He
saluted his officer and said d~isconsolately

To Prevent Seasickness.

In spite of the innumerable meth
DDS which have been suggested n the
course Of the last few decades of
avoiding s~easickness, this Is still the
most serious Inconvenience Of a sea
journey" writes DIR. Alfred Gradenwttz
in Technical World Magazine for July,
"A novel device, intended to prevent
the distress, has, however. been tested
recently. with most excellent results,
on the steamship Patricia, of the Ham
rg-American line, and on the chan
mel steame Peregrine. This IN based
on a vibrating motion. The OUTFIT is
OF great simplicity and merely COM
prises a comfortable chair, the seat of
which is set rapidly vibrating up and
down by the force Of an electromotor
connected to the electric lighting mains
or the steamer. Those wishing to pro-
tect themselves against the dreaded
sickness should sit down on the vi
brating chair, when they will feel about
the same sensation as In riding in an
automobile. The !. vibratory motion
makes the rolling and pitching OF the
ship less felt, the slow downward mo-
ton OF the vessel being co~unteracted
by the numerous short vibratory shocks
occurring In an upward direction.

AZ RECOGNIZED THE VOICE
And From Remark Made, Also Knew
the Party Was Not En-
gagged in Prayer.

Confidential friends Of Louis B.
Shields are telling this story about
hat eminent Republican: A state
convention at Columbus had just ad-
Iourned and the Cuyahoga county
delegates were all back home when
somebody suggested a friendly game
Of poker. The game was going along
right merrily at 3 a. m.
At that hour an o~fficious attendant
called up Mr.. Shields residence, which
happened to be almost next door.
This is long distance" said the
servant with no warrant of authority
whatever. I'VE are all here in Co
lumbus and can't get home until morn
ing"
That's all right" came back the
reply, but if that voice l hear in the
apartment house next door saying
that's good isn't Mr.. Shields then l
can't recognize a voice when l hear it
at night"
And that is the end of the story, for
the voice saying that's good" was
indeed that of Mr.. Shields, and it was
80 near home, so the narrator relates,
that there was no use in offering a
denial.-Cleveland Leader.

A Coin Worth Millions.

Somewhere in the world-possibly
among the relics kept by some lover of
the great Napoleon there is fortune.
perhaps unsupported. Among the coins
Napoleon had minted were some mil
lions of five franc pieces. and he deter
mined to popularize these in an ex-
traordinary way. In one of the coins.
folded to tiny size. was inclosed a
note signed by Napoleon and promis-
ing the sum of 5.O0O.O00 francs to the
finder of that particular coin. Nat
urally everybody who changed large
piece demanded the new five franc
coins in exchange and. as a rule. prob
ed and dug and sounded the metal in
eager search for the hidden note. But
the years went on. and yet the note
did not appear. Napoleon's plighted
word is a sacred trust to the French
nation. and today the government
stands ready to pay the debt. which.
with interest. is now worth many mill
lions.-London Answers.

It Helps One In Striving to Realize
His Ambition.
There is a tremendous power in the
habit of expectancy, the conviction
that we shall realize our ambition. that
our dreams shall come true. says ORR
son SWEET Marden In Success Maya
zine. There is no uplifting habit like
that of carrying an expectant. hopeful
attitude. of expecting that our heart
yearnhgs will be matched with real
tiles: that things are going TO turn out
well and not i'll; that we are going to
succeed: that. no matter what may or
may not happen. we are going to be
happy.
There is nothing else so helpful as
the carrying of this optimistic. expect
ant attitude-the attitude which al
ways looks for and expects the best.
the highest. the happiest-and never
allowing oneself to get into the pes
simistic. discouraged mood.
Believe with all your heart that you
will do what you were made to do.
Never for an instant harbor doubt OF
this. Drive 1t out of your mind If IL
seeks an entrance. Entertain only the
friend thoughts or ideals Of the thing
you are bound to achieve. Reject all
thought enemies. all discouraging
moods-everything which would even
suggest failure or unhappiness.

its slopes. In 1881 three streams burst
forth from the sides of this mountain.
and one of them came within three
quarters of mile of Hilo. the chief
city of the island. There have been
several outbreaks of Kilauea in the
last hundred years. In 1910 there was
a brilliant eruption Of lava. the light
of which. 1t was said. could be seen a
hundred miles away. while at the dis
lance of forty miles one could read

Where the lava flowed through the
forest it has left curious relics in lava
arches. bridges and great vases. These
vases were formed by the lava piling
itself about some lofty tree trunk.
burning away the wood within and
killing the upper part of the tree. In
the course of time seeds were deposit

bark. until now there is a gigantic
