F0LLIES OF SCIENCE.
Seven Problems That Have So Far
BaffIed Mans Mighty Brain.

The history Of science has seven
problems that men in all ages more or
less have tried to solve, but which
have finally been given up by all. To-
day they are called follies.
The usual list comprises the follow
ing: First, squaring the circle; second,
duplication Of the cube; third, trisec-
ton Of an angle; fourth, perpetual mo-
ton; fifth. transmutation OF metals;
sixth. fxation of mercury; seventh,
elixir Of life. Some lists put the phi
losopher's stone for the last three and
then add astrology and magic to make
the seven.
To the unlearned it would seem pos
sible to draw square which shall be
exactly equal in area to a given circle,
which is the first problem in the list,
but we are told by the highest author
tiles that it is impossible.
Since the discovery Of radium it is
claimed that the change of one metal
into another has been accomplished,
but it is yet too early to dogmatize
about the matter.-Chicago Journal.

HEALTH AND FOOD.
A Doctors Idea of a Perfectly Balanced
All Year Round Diet,

A Doctors Idea of a Perfectly Balanced
All Year Round Diet.
That every one is more or less sus-
ceptible to tubercular trouble is a mat
ter on which all old fashioned medical
authorities are agreed. They tell us
that we may pass through a phase and
out again without knowing it. Accord
ing to DR.. T. Y. Hull in the Dietetic
Gazette. there is only one thing very
certain. and that is that if we keep in
good health or adapt ourselves to a
perfectly balanced diet the danger is
slight.
He advocates reduction Of vegeta-
BILE food, relying more upon butter,
meat and nuts. Here. of course, one
has to face the increased danger of
tubercular meat, itself probably a
large contributory cause Of consump-
ton.
This is DR.. Hull's idea Of a perfectly
balanced diet. calculated to keep the
average individual in perfect health all
the year round: The basis for the diet
is found in meat, eggs. milk, butter,
bread. potatoes and fruit. 1t consists
daily of two quarts Of milk, five eggs,
four ounces Of beef, one and one-half
ounces Of butter, two ounces Of nuts
(pecan). four ounces Of bread, three
and one-half ounces of rice, three
ounces each Of potatoes, peas and oat-
meal, one ounce sugar, one ounce raj
sins, one apple and one orange.

FOND OF ELECTIONS.
IN Switzerland They Select Even
Gravedqoers bv Ballot,

In Switzerland They Select Even
Gravedigeers by Ballot.
According to Professor +. F. Roget
OF Geneva, the Swiss have the great
est political intelligence in the world
today.
Every citizen of a canton is a Swiss
CITIZEN says Professor Roget. Zone
must become member of some local
commune to become naturalized and
In order to do so must be accepted by
the local communal council.
Livery male Swiss citizen is an elec-
tor from the age Of twenty, there be-
ing no property qualification. Every
Swiss is soldier and every soldier an
elector. The federal elector may vote
wherever he may happen to be, guar
antees being taken that he votes only
once.
1.-THE cantons are the political units,
and no elector may exercise political
rights in more than one canton. On
moving from one locality to another
the Swiss must wait three months be-
fore be may exercise the franchise in
his new neighborhood."
Professor Roget declares that "every
collective authority in Switzerland is
elected
THE foreigner" he states, lis often
surprised to see in a Swiss newspaper
on Monday the results Of all kinds of
elections on the Sunday. If he had
gone into a polling booth on the Sun
day he would have found in this cor
ner clerk at desk, at which the
elector would vote for the local school
MASTER
In another corner would be a desk
at which he would vote for the local
Judge, in another part of the same
room he would vote for the local grave
digger, and so on through a whole
series of officials. all of whom are pop
ularly elected
1.-The result of this training is that
the political intelligence of the Swiss
is extremely developed, and that he
thoroughly understands what he is vot-
Ing about at home in his native coun-
try. and that when he goes abroad he
| finds. it very easy to understand and
to take part in any political movements
among which be may find himself."-

The Mystic Seven.

A certain fond father sent his son to
the University of Pennsylvania last
fall. AS farewell piece of advice he
told the young man that "his success
was almost assured, since both the
word success and your name contain
seven letters" The midyear examina-
tons, however, proved to be his doom,
and he was compelled to return home.
"Well," said his father, didn't you
keep in mind what I told you about
the seven letters?"
Il did that. father" answered the
boy, "but you must remember that
there are also seven letters in failure {"

Learn to Think on Your Feet,

1t does not matter whether one
wants to be a public speaker or not, a
person should have such complete con-
troll of himself, should be so self re-
liant and self poised. that he can get
up in any audience. no matter how
large or formidable, and express his
thoughts clearly and distinctly. In
all ages oratory has been regarded as
the highest expression of human
achievement. Young people. no mat
ter what they intend to be. whether
blacksmith or farmer, merchant or
physician, should make it a study.
Nothing else will call out what is in
man more quickly and more effec-
lively than the constant effort to do
his best in speaking before an audi
ence. When one undertakes to think
on ones feet and speak extempora-
neously before the public the power
and the skill of the entire man are
put to the severest test--Success Mag

Doctors In Russia,

DR.. Ralph Thompson. in Medical Eu.
rope, states that lin Russia nobody
ever asks a physician the amount Of
his bill. 1t is universally understood
that gentleman pays his doctor a
fair sum-such a sum as be can afford
to pay within the limits of his in
come and his sense of generosity. The
Russian mind cannot conceive how a
man engaged in the holy pursuit Of
saving life and alleviating suffering
can put price on his services" After
this 1t is not surprising to learn from
the same authority that Russia is the
only European country of Importance
where the medical profession is not
overcrowded.
