TOWER OF LONDON.
The Perfect System by Which Its
 Treasures Are Guarded.

me eertect System by Which lts
 Treasures Are Guarded.
 The Tower of London has the most perfect system of burglar alarms that has yet been devised.
 From Scotland Yard. from the gov, srnors headquarters and from othG places known only ia d fev respon- slble officials the whuir Tower can be closed electrically within lew sec ondS. EveH the pondesous gates ut the middle tower. which weigh some tons and through which visitors pass, swing to automatically, and the escape of every one within is instantly barred. At the same time an alarm bell rings To warn wartlclS. police and soldiers.
 Ill particular tue precautions in the apartment containing the crown jew els are of most scientifically elabo- rate kind. One of the becfcaters on duty ill the room has merely to press button, whereupop the heavy door closes, the alarm bell below rings. the other gates slam to and lock. and every person within the tower is instantly cut of from tle outer world.
 The man who can get away with any Of the crown jewels deserves them observed Tower official From where 1 am standing could close every important door and gate tn the Tower in as short a time as it takes to utter these words"
 lt was mainly to insure the safety Of the crown jewels that the system was installed
 No order had been issued for the closing of the Tower on q recent Sat urday when, greatly to their alarm the visitors found doors locked. bolted and barred against them for about ten minhtes. preventing any one leaving tde Tower.
 T lie Tower simply closed-that is Qh,' remarked an official Who caus- ed it to do so We do net know. It might have been Scotland Yard. where the pressing of d button would iJti- prison cl cry soul within tha Tower un til the, police gave the signal for their rels@se. IT il ui4hi havr bran the governor. anxious to iearn whether We were 3i ii our posts 1t any rate, it was none of the minor officials.
 'ln fact, who closed the Tower and why is q secret known only to the highest authorities There was no alarm, no attempt to seize the crown jewels" ."-xonlon Mail.

Heroic Treatment.

In Guiana if a child is slow in its movements the parents apply an ant to the child instead of whip to make 1t move faster. This little ant bites more cruelty than mosquito, and it's bite is apt to be troublesome after ward. AS you can imagine, this treat ment does not make the child kind to others. and the children of Guiana are said to be particularly cruel to ami malls. The little boys in Guiana do not reckon their age by years. but by their ability to endure pain. Until he gets to the point where he can let the Hucu ant bite him without wincing he is considered merely baby.

SCIENTIFIC FEEDING.
HeaitI, as Primary Factor In il1teli
 gent Living.

SS1It LlStlS.
 Health and success are SC largely dependent upon balance. upon sym metry of development, physical and mental harmony. that We should do everything possible te secure that physical poise which also means men- tai and moral poise. X large part Of our ills c0rne from one sided develop ment, caused by overStimHIEating some tissue cells and starving othcrs==oyer- feeding and unlerfeedma. Scientific feeding. therefore, is of vast impor- tance.
 0vereating and improper eating afs among the curses of the world Think of the people who put all sorts of in- compatibles into their stomachs at the same time and then use all sorts of nostrums to get rid of their bad ef fects.
 One of the most pathetic sights in the world is that of a human being struggling hard to carry out his am bition, yet handicapping himself by his ignorance of physical laws.
 What a pathetic figure Carlyle cut In the world-a one sided giant who might have been a symmetrical power, possessor of a colossal brain largely controlled by q dyspeptlc stomach. He was cross and grabbed and did just the things that he did not want to do, things that he knew it would be bet ter not to do. but he was the victim of starved nerves, of exhausted brain cells largely for want of common sense feeling.-Orison Swet Warden in Sue cess Magazine.
