What IS q persons normal temporal

When the answer 9S.6 degrees f. is
given to the query very few people
understand the physiological signih-
canoe of this fact or how a degree of
systemic heat is maintained during
health within such narrow limits thar
their bodies have an even tempera-
ture the coolest day in winter or the
hottest day in summer with an ex-
actness OF adjustment that Is not OBJ
tainable in warming or cooling their
homes with the most up to date heat
ing and refrigerating apparatus.
Now. i'm accepting the statement
that the body temperature is 9S.G de

that to some extent this is a relative
figure. for the warmth of the exte-
rior varies markedly from that Of the

the head. hands or abdomen may diff

purposes some gauge must be accept

be measured and compared There
fore on account Of convenience and
practicability the temperature taken
carefully under the tongue by clin'
zeal thermometer has been selected as
q common standard throughout med
ical circles. 1t is sometimes recorded

VO0D00ISM IN HAITI.
The Vexed Question Of Human Saeri
flee In the Worship.

llC6 tu the WOTSttPs
That the hold which the voodoo
worship has on the people Of Haiti is
stronger than the power of the church
Is shown by the fact that the day be-
fore the writer's inspection Of VOC
doc temple in the mountains, where
he saw six goatskin drums, Roman
Catholic priest had visited the district
and made his ministradons conditional
on the people destroying their instru-
ments, but they refused. The govern
ment does not, as rule, Interfere
with the practices Of the cult on ac-
count Of the political influence of its
leaders.
The question whether human flesh is
now eaten In connection with the VOC
doc ceremonies is a perplexing one,
which it is impossible to answer with
any degree of confidence. Local opin-
ion is divided on the matter. Some as
sert that the practice is secretly in
vogue; others categorically deny 1t.
No one can be found to state that he
has been an eyewitness of any such
sacrifice. The conclusion which the
writer came to is that there is no or
ganized human sacrifice taking place
as part Of the voodoo ceremonial.
but that In ordinary life an occasional
instance of cannibalism occurs-as
murder cases occur in civilized coun
tries-where the perpetrator. probably
from a tribe of anthropophagl. becom-
ing temporarily insane or highly ex-
cited. reverts to the aboriginal habit
1t should be added that public opinion
generally reprobates the act and the
educated Haitien is thoroughly asham-
ed of the dark stain which lies upon
his country.-London Times.

IN MEMORIAM

MACH.-In loving hut sad remem-
brance of our dear daughter and sis
ter, CARRIE AGATHA MACH
(nee SIama) who departed this life
five years ago today, December
IL, 1905.
The parting which FIVE years ago
We never can forget,
Nor soothe those pangs of woe
Deep in our sad hearts yet.
Though this world is full of trouble,
Full of sorrow and full of pain,
Yet to Us it would be heaven,
If you were only here again.
How sadly we grieve the loss of our
sIsz daughter and sister.
And many the tears we have shed !;
The home is so gloomy which once
was so bright,
Since our dear daughter and sister is
dead.
BY HER PARENTS, SISTERS AND
BROTHERS.
GOTEE. I'm sad but loving remem-
brance of my dear fiancee, EMMA
GOTEE, who departed this life one
month ago today, November IL,
1910.
Loved in life, in death remembered.
Time cannot heal my wounded heart
Nor fill the vacant chair;
] miss thee at all times
miss thee everywhere.
Yet try so hard to endure the pain
For my poor heart is broken
To think I'll never see her on earth
again
Think not, dear fancee, that thou
art forgotten,
For by me thou shalt never be.
AS long as breath shall warm nv
frame
Ny thoughts will be of thee.

A FAMOUS LIBRARY.
Origin of the System Called Booming"
Which Usually Preeedes Col
Ieae examinations.

Just before examination time col
lege students begin to study at top
speed Usually they call that unwont-
ed occupation examining" grinding"
or booming" The first, Of course,
means literally stufing knowledge into
themselves. The second was suggested
by the phrase about keeping ones
nose to the grindstone. But how about
"boningT" 1t was a grateful student
who thus dubbed the process Of abb
sorbing information, for he named It
after the "trot' or pony" that he
used.
1t was the famous Bohn library OF
translations to which the English stu
dent resorted as an ever ready help in
time OF trouble. Henry George Bohn
started his library in 1916 and began
what afterward become a. big business.
For one thing, he began purchasing
'remainders"-t is. the old plates
Of standard works and TRANSACTIONS
and printing cheap editions from them.
Bohn found the publishing Of stand
ard foreign works In English so prof
table that he developed the business,
and 1t used to pay to buy translations
from poor hack A. BIS who were glad
enough to get a farthing or two for
their knowledge.
Finally practically all the ancient
classics and some modern ones were
obtainable in the Bohn library. and so
popular did they become among stu
dents who feared being plucked that
Bohns German was turned into Eng
llsh. and booming" was henceforth rec
ognized as digging into dead writer's
works by means Of the crafty publish
er's translations.-New York Tribune.

his favorite actor was with this weeks

A STATE CARRIAGE.

Present TO a Chinese Emperor That
Puzzled the orientaIs.
When, In 1893, Sir George Macart-
ney headed the first British embassy
to China, he brought with him numer-
Gus presents for the emperor. Among
these was a magnificent state carriage.
an article which delighted, but at the
same time puzzled. the Chinese more
than any other gift. Nothing like II

Comical disputes Immediately arose as

The hammercloth which covered the
box OF the carriage had smart edging

did appearance, and that. with its ele-
waited position. Immediately determined
the official mind that it was without
doubt the emporer's seat. Then the
question arose Of what the inside of
the coach was intended for. The blinds.
screens and so forth were all carefully
examined, and 1t was decided that the
interior was the place for the ladies
only.
An old retainer went to member OF
the embassy to ask If the conclusions
were correct When he learned that
the fine elevated box was the seat of
the coachman and that the emperor's
place was inside the coach he was

Labor Saving Cleanser.

The labor of homework may be ma
terially lessened and better results OBJ
tained by the use of kerosene instead
of soap, powder or polisher. 1t is foe
to soil and CRIME, which disappear
under its use as If by magic
To Wash Windows-Add one-half
cupful of kerosene to a gallon of cold
or tepid water. Wash with one cloth,
wipe dry with a second, and. then rub
lightly with third. The result will be
windows of a brilliancy and transpar-
ency not to be obtained by any other
means. Mirrors and chandelier globes
may be treated in the same manner.
To Polish Hardwood Floors and
Woodwork-Wipe the surface with a
cloth slightly dampened with kerosene,
then rub lightly with an old soft cloth
To Whiten Clothes-Three table
spoonfuls of kerosene added to the
clothes while boiling makes an excel
lent bleach. Care must be taken to use
only hot water for rinsing and bluing
the clothes after the use of kerosene.
This cleanser has the additional
value of being excellent for the hands,
both softening and whitening them.

WAYS OF SERVING POTATO
Recipes for a Weeks Daily Variation
OF the Vegetable for Those Who
Have II HabItually.

For the household which demands
its daily potato" here is a sugges-
tion and a recipe for daily variation
OF the vegetable:
Sunday--Mashed potatoes, peel,
thin, steam, place In pan and mash.
Add milk, butter and salt, and beat
like a cake batter, the longer the bet
ter, till they are nice and light. This
steaming and heating will be a great
improvement.
Monday-Bake potatoes in their
Jackets. II any are left over they
may be warmed; do not peel them
till cold, and then slice.
Tuesday--Peel and bake them with
roast beef.
Wednesday-The potatoes are sliced
thin as for frying and allowed to re-
main in cold water half an hour. The
slices are then put In a pudding dish
with salt and pepper and some milk,
about one-half pint; put into an oven
and bake for an hour.
Thursday-Peel, steam and serve
whole.
Friday-Potatoes a la pancake.
Peel, cut In thin slices, lengthwise,
sprinkle with pepper and salt and fry
in butter or beef dripping, turning like
griddle cakes.
Saturday-Potatoes boiled In their
jackets.
