Law and Geography.

From the half timers papers writ
ten at q recent term examination:
Some of the chief inventions of the
last $50 years are having an act SO
that no person under fourteen years
must 60 into the public house. An
other act was SO that no person un-
der the age Of sixteen years must
smoke cigars. pipes and cigarettes;
and no person under that age can be
served with any. My brother Bill is
now all right for this invention. He
was sixteen last week" Here is a

.erouch Germ pI,eexsesa.

Scientists have found the Crouch
germ" according to reports from Kan.
sas City. This germ. 1t is believed.
thrives Particularly In the vicinity Of
monographs and in neighborhoods
where great many young porch par
ties celebrate until the small hours Of
the morning. These Crouch germs"
are great travellers and are carried
about from place to place. They arc
spread by bill collectors. book agents
and persons who go from house to
house selling potato peelers and glass
cutters. Those who go about with
subscription lists seeking donations
are also responsible for the wide scat
tering OF the little microbe which pro
duces peevishness in hot weather.
With these pointers one may know
how to avoid giving the pest chance
to carry on its fendish work.

Aneedots Of FraneoI. coppee.

Francois Coppee, whose statue has
gust been unveiled near the Invalides.
CLOSE to the street where he died, was
. graceful poet and the kindest of
men. An anecdote Just recalled shows
his benevolence. He was the prey of
interviewers, and was too good-heart-
ed ever to turn one away. Whenever
an evidently young reporter called
who seemed to be beginner Coppee,
an old journalist himself, would shake
him warmly by the hand and say:
"Tell me. my young friend. are you on
salary or on space?" If he answered
the former, the poet would talk to him
for half minute, and then dismiss
him cheerily with "And now l am
busy" and handshake. If, however,
the young reporter replied "On space"
Coppee would say at once, "Sit down
there" showing him his own writing
table, "and write," and he would die

Scores Defense of Criminals.

In letter published in the Syracuse
Post-Standard eX-Ambassador Andrew
D. White speaks vigorously on the SUBJ
ject of "the chicanery, pettifoggery
and folly in the defense of criminals" :"
He says that "homicdes have increas-
ed within fifteen years from 1000 a
year to nearly 10000, placing us by far
in the lead of all civilized nations in
this respect" and that there were
capital convictions in only about sew
enty cases last year. "The immediate
cause of the whole of this state of
things, with constantly increased dis
respect of law, is, in my opinion" adds
Mr.. White, "a kind of sickly senti-

Electric sterilizine of Wounds.

Electric sterilizing ovens, at first
used only for the sterilization of den
tai and surgical instruments are now
used to some extent to sterilize stub
born wounds or ulcers. The heat pene-
trates the tissues in a way that sur
face antiseptics cannot, and even
though the temperature is run up to
500 degrees F., which is nearly 800
degrees higher than the boiling point
of water, the skin is not scorched. AS
the heat increases in the oven, the
skin of the patient protects itself by
throwing off profuse perspiration.

Hospitality.

Working-class women are by ma.
ture extremely hospitable, but the
narrowness of their houses and the
supreme claims of husband and chill
dren often prevent them from crafty
ing tho inclination until late In life.
Poverty is no hindrance to hospitality
and charity. as have learned from
many widows in large towns living in
single rooms on out-relief or tiny
pension, nor are they checked by false
pride. As long as they are satisfied
with the cleanliness Of their imme-
date surroundings, they will receive
any guest, gentle or simple, with the
same quiet dignity.-London Specta-

A Seneca (Kan.) man. W.. R

to the correct way to put up ham
mock: There is know-how about
hanging a hammock besides tying 1t
so it cannot break down. A hammock
should be hung six and one-fourth
feet from the ground at the head and
three and three-fourths feet above
the ground at the foot. The rope that
secures the head should not be more
than twelve inches long. and that at
the foot about four and one-half feet
in length. Arranged in this way tho
lower part will swing freely and the
head is kept comfortable by being
nearly stationary" - Kansas City
