Among the medicines that are recon-.
mended and endorsed by physicians and
nurses is Kemp's Balsam, the best cough
cure. For many years it has been re-

likely to cure coughs, and it hasa strong

people. When Kemp's BalSam cannot

How To Keep Cool.

A prominent physician said that the
best receipt for keeping cool is temper
ance in all things" "Do not over-in-
dulge during such weather, he said.
"Be moderate in work, play, eating and
drinking. Avoid intoxicants. A person
can receive heat stroke in bed at night
as well as in the blazing rays of the sun.
Keep the body in good condition and you
can stand a greater amount OF heat. And,
above all do not worry. Go quietly about
your business. Whistle if you can

THE TELESCOPE.

GaIilei's Rude Instrument the First
Used In Astronomy.
The first telescope was pointed to-
ward the sky on Jan. I. 1910, when
Galilei first tried bis rude instrument
and was rewarded by discovering some
of the moons Of Jupiter No great
magnifying power was needed for this,
as at least one of the moons is large
enough to be seen by the naked eye
did not the nearneSs Of the brilliant
planet prevent this. Lenses had been
known for a long time and were at
that time In common use by near
sighted persons.
The name of the real discoverer Of
the telescope seems to be unknown,
but the accepted story now is that
two young sons Of a Middebury op-
tician named Lippersley some time
between 1905 and ZOOS. while playing
with some lenses. happened TO hold
two of them at a distance from each
other and were surprised and delight
ed to find that the weather vane on a
neighboring tower seemed to come
near them when looked at through the
two lenses. In April, 1909, a little
telescope made in Holland was offered
for sale In Paris.
The next month Galflei, then a pro-
fessor in the university at Padua,
heard Of this instrument and realized
at once it's Importance IN the study Of
astronomy. From the description of
the Dutch instrument be had one
made at once. and in August he as
founded the people OF Venice by show
ing them from the top of the cam
panile persons entering the doors Of
the church at Murano. This spygiass
was less than two inches in diameter
and magnified three times. From this
crude instrument of Galilei to the
monster telescopes forty inches I'm
diameter of the present day is the de-
velopment Of only three centuries

SPLITTING A PICTURE.
One Case Where the Half Proved
Greater Than Tho Whole.

One Case Where the Half Proved
Greater Than Tho Whole.
There Is no painter who lends him
self to splitting" so much as Botti-
celli-i e., division Of the panel into
two parts so as to form separate pic
lures. Years ago I sold to a Mr.. But
terry OF London half a Botticelli. which
is now owned by Herr Kaufman Of
Berlin. / have myself seen the other
half Of the picture, as well as the pic
ture in its entire state.
In one case / can recall the half
proved greater than the whole. A GER
tain Signor Bar1Ii bequeathed a valu-
able Botticelli to his two grandsons,
who were twins. But, although twins,
these two young men were rather
Quarrelsome and had no taste IN COM
mon One proposed to sell the picture,
which had been painted for one of their
ancestors, IT is said, by BotticeIli him
self. The other would not consent.
The first then proposed that the other
should buy his share and keep the pic
ture himself. He took me with him,
and 1 assigned the value of the pic
ture at 5000 lire, saying l would give
that for it. The brother declined and
suggested placing the picture in the
custody Of an aunt pending an adjust
ment of the terms. 'Oh, very WELL"
cried his brother, flying into a passion,
eff you won't buy and won't let me
sell there's only one thing to do" and
before any one could interfere he emp
tied three chambers of a revolver into
tne panel. completely destroying one
half OF the composition. including st.
John and a Joseph. The picture be-
ing sent to me to restore. / could do
nothing with it and strongly advised
separating the panel. Shortly after 1
did so the owner died, and disposed
of the work for 5000 lire to Adolph
Kann. 1t IS now, believe, In Russia.

temperature required for the potato.
The next spring the clumps are sub
divided into pieces three-fourths of an
inch long and having one or two
strong eyes to each piece. To secure
early flowers the eyes should be start
ed in a hotbed or window box; other
wise they may be planted directly in
the bed. Aside from cultivating and
watering, the one point of Importance
is to keep the seed pods cut away. AS
with all Towering plants, the one pur-
pose Of the flower is that of repro
duction. If the seed pods are cut away
as soon as the flowers wither they con-
tinue this effort indefinitely; otherwise
Towering ceases with the maturing Of
the first crop of seed The new flower
stalk appears at the last joint; hence
in removing the old stalk the cut
should be made above the joint.

An Innocent Widow.

The play, or rather comedy, An
Innocent Widow, is exceedingly
unique and original. The curious mix
ture of mythology and modern science
brings about many comical situations
and complications which keep the
audience bubbling with amusement
during the entire evening. The
''widow," who was turned into stone
three thousand years ago because she
incurred the wrath of the gods, is un-
earthed by an industrious archaeology
ist who carries her off home to be set
up as a rare curio in the modern man
sion he is building. AS the house is
unfinished the owner of the statue
leaves it in the care of an old friend
who has insured it for $4,000. The
friend takes the statue to his home for
safe keeping. By and by he has oc-
casiod to make some Improvements
in his house, and one night the work
men are permitted to wrap the live
electric wires around the feet of the
statue. The shock brings her to life.
Now, this friend has wife and has
no use for this beautiful young girl so
