Never Open Letters at the
 Breakfast Table

Did you ever hear that it Is dangeroyis to open your morning mail at the break fast table? According to Berlin scientist Professor Kron, and the London Lancet 1t is dangerous-very. Professor Kron has succeeded in tracing several cases of con- tagion to the old custom of waiting until you sit down at the breakfast table be- fore opening and going through .our morning mall. He calls attention to the fact that the average man and woman goes down to breakfast with hands ana face scrupulously clean, teeth scrubbed and throat gargled. In that condition he is prepared to eat without swal owing more disease germs than may have .,ossi- ply escaped the watchful attention of the cook.
 But instead of doing that he handles let ters and papers which have passed through many hands before reaching hIs and wrappers and in doing so unthink- ingly paves the way for the absorption of all kinds of germs which may or I1ay not do him a great deal of harm.
 It has long been the custom in many well regulated households where he breakfast hour is fixed somewhat late and where the mail carrier gets around before breakfast is served. to place eacn persons morning letters by his or her plate in the dining room This. says the Lancet is custom which should be abolished at once. Letters should be opened and read either before or after breakfast, but never at the table during the handling of food

Dr. Johnson's House Gift to
 English Nation

II was announced some time ago that Dr. Johnson's house in Cough Square, Fleet street. London, had been acquired by an anonymous purchaser, and was to be placed in the hands of trustees as national memorial to the great Londoner.
 It now becomes known that the pur- chaser is MT. Cecil Harmsworth Ac- cording to the latest announcement the house will be dedicated as national proper ty 'as soon as suitable arrangements can be made"
 Last year the house was put into a good state of repair at a cost of some hundreds of pounds, and care was taken to preserve the characteristic features of the interior, which is in much the game condition as when Dr. Johnson lived there from 174s 10 175s
 II was in Cough Square that Dr. John son toiled at his dictionary, which was commissioned by the chief booksellers in London in l747 for a fee of 150O guineas. The doctor had an upper room fitted up

 where, besides his books. all covered wit, dust, there was an old crazy table and a still worse and older elbow chair having only three legs"

The Restfulness of Real
 Hard Work

Two New York men recently broke down under the strain of hard work There undoubtedly are many more who nave done exactly the same thing, but these two have furnished material for a topic which the medical journals have taken up for serious discussion. One of the two was a professional man and the only hard work he did was to sit in comfortable chair day after day behind large iesk. quietly reading and writing When he broke down his physician ordered him to go into Pennsylvania coal mine and dig coal for a month. He went, did exactly what he had been told to do and month later he returned completely restored to ready to get down to hard work again at the office" The other man was day laborer who suddenly found himself un- equal to the task of toiling with pick and shovel ten hours day Ills physician ordered him to seek an easy chair and just sit there day after day, reading ana writing if he cared to. He, too. did exact iv what he had been told to and within a few weeks he was as well as ever.
 So here were two instances of men eacn finding heaithful recreation and actual rest in the hard work under which the other had broken down
 Ar,swering the question: What is ress for the professional man?' pr. J, Harvey IIiIl of Baltimore, Md, has written 70 tho New York Medical Record as follows:

Jamaica Has a Juvenile Loie
 Fuller

Her name is Marie Sattler and her home is Jamaica, l.. l. She celebrated her 7th last Christmas.
 This tiny miss began to study toe danc- ing when she was years old, and in a very short time appeared at concerts and musicales. Sometime ago a sketch called The Dainty of the Daintiee' was written for her. and sue has appeared in it at sev- eral benefit performances in New York.
 Besides her skill as a dancer Marie has no little ability as an impersonator and her limitations of George Conan. Eva Tan guay. Eddie Foy and others have been re- ceived with enthusiastic applause. The last time the little girl appeared in public was with the Loie Fuller dancers at the Metropolitan opera house.
 So great was her success at that time that Loie Fuller tried to obtain the con sent of Charles Sattler. the dancers father. for Marie to make a trip abrotl. dancing In al lthe large continental cities. MT. Sattler. however. refused to listen to the proposition.

When canning 1t is we'll to know that all conservatives are dangerous. Anything that vii overcome the gases tending to spoil canned fruit is liable to prevent their digestion and so is not advisable.
 Cold water is preferable to warm for scrubbing floors because 1t does not sink into the wood and so dries quickly
 Better results are obtained from the use of the scrubbing brush by moving it in the direction in which the grain of the wood runs instead of across 1t.
 Sponges should be washed free of soap suds each time they are used and hung |up to dry. As often as possible scala them in soda water and hang them in the sunshine.

"The Multiple Self"

The following poem by Florence E. Buck appeared recently in "The Daily Chautauqua." It was suggested by the lectures on "The Rivalry of Social Groups delivered by President George E. Vincent.
 We have so very many selves, If they were labelled, then on shelves Were placed like bottles, in row, Which one to take I would not know. Sometimes I feel just like saint, But all the while I know l 'aint' For deep within my soul there lies A restive devil I despise,

Insurance Against Hail

From the New York Press. Ht4
 Switzerland is undoubtedly one of the countries where insurance against hail has made most progress. It may be said that there is not single canton where there are not some persons insured against this scourge of the farmer. and all the products grown in the country Cereals. fruit, vegetables, etc) may be guaranteed against hail risks with the national in- surance companies.
 The Swiss hail insurance company was formed as far back as 1884 and during the 26 years that it has been in existence it has been joined by the greater num- Der of the farmers of the country; the other company which is working this branch of insurance of Neuchatel. being a local concern which insures only he vineyards of the neighborhood. From 1884 to 1908 about 100000 francs WAS paid into the coffers of the Swiss .;oin- pany in premiums, and during the same period 1t paid out about 100000 francs for the satisfaction of claims In 1908 aolne the premiums paid by the, Swiss farmers for insurance against hsa amounted to 1.O76.606 francs.

METHUSELAH VS. NOAH
Battle to the Death Between Century
 Old Comrades Has Lasted 36 Hours

From the New York Evening Mail. Theskeepers of the Bronx geological gar
 dens are up against two tough proposi- tions. The propositions are Methuselah
 and Noah. For S6 hours these two his
 toric gentlemen have been engaged in close personal debate. and they won't lstop.
 Effiicent prodding with a spiked pole. generous ablutions of soapsuds for thelr optics applications of vinegar to the same region, much prying. coaxing and kind words have alike failed to separate them,
 and well-what else can a man do? as
 Keeper Snyder expressed it.
 It might be we'll to state that Methuse-
 lah and Noah two huge sea turtles, avoirdupois about 200 pounds apiece, age perhaps two centuries. They are too old and wise to be affected by the malady of lAmerica-haste. They believe in 1oing things slowly and not by halves. So night before last, when Noah fas- tened his horny beak in the leg of Ma
 thuselah, that ancient parsonage retalated by carefully gathering strangle hold on the neck of Noah. Then both sat down, so to speak, to wait and pinch. n It is probable that the embrace of the* great green reptiles will not terminate till the neck of Noah or the shoulder of Me lthuselah is severed.
 The keepers found the turtles in ieath lock when they went to work yesterday morning. The great reptiles lay perfectly |stll, each devoting his entire attention Ito holding tight. Efforts were at once made to. separate them, but efforts night as well have attempted to separate .wo lengths of welded steel. It, was necessary Ito wait till they separated portions of each other, or to saw off the neck of both with meat saw. The big turtles are lar two valuable for any such frivolity. It is not the first time that the sea tiir- II ties have engaged in combat. Several years ago Cleopatra another big indiyid-
 ual. chewed part of the hind foot from Noah.
 Few people, said Snyder. "have any idea of the power in turtles jaw. I
 would rather put my hand in black
 smiths wise than have the beall of one of these green devils close on it. They
 never let go till they get ready. You can club them all you want, and it doesn't faze them at all. We're going to try q diluted solution of acid on these grap- bling gents today. Maybe that's get 'em.''

The Latest Shop Talk

One never realizes how many different
 kinds and varieties of sports there are
 until he begins to look at sporting goods
 in the shops. Baseball, after all, is only
 one American game.
 | I feel sure that not everybody knows
 that croquet Is being revived. We have | all gotten more or less accustomed to the tennis girl, the sleeves of her niddy blouse rolled up to show her brown and rounded arms, but the croquet girl has
 not been popular with the cartoonist and magazine cover artist Nevertheless she is with us again and is going to stay
 for some time. judging from the numerous croquet sets temptingly displayed in the shop windows.
 A carquet set that will last can be bought for S.50. Naturally, the balls in these sets are not as carefully rounded as Tn the s and s5 ones but for those who gre not champions. but who play the game purely for the fun of it, the cheaper sets are quite as good. There are a good many champion croquet players in Blr- mingham, I am told, for whom sets of specially turned balls are frequently made to order.
 There is also revival of bicycle riding among girls and women A small revival, it Is true, but it may grow to larger proportions. In the neighborhood of the parks and in suburbs where the roads are good quite number of women are taking to the wheel again. Why they ever gave up the sport is puzzle. unless the auto mobile is to blame Most physicians, as a rule, are heartily in favor of bicycle rid ing for women. As a remedy for weak nerves the exercise is said to be unsur- passed, and it is also highly recommended as an obesity cure. Besides, bicycles are much cheaper now than they used to be.

curious and most successful experi- ment is being made on a number of .,ri- vate lawns in Kent, England. and is about to be tried by a golf club in the neigh borhood of Greenhithe. The idea is the novel one of substituting the guinea pig for the moving machine and weed killer.
 Round the lawn is arranged low wire barrier, and into the inclosure are turned number of guinea pigs; or, better, d passage Is made from their hutch to the lawn. The animals at once attack all the worst weeds-the plaintains first, then the dandelins and daisies.

New Use for X-Rays

From the Louisville Courier-Journal.
 Tt is claimed that the x-rays have been successfully applied in France to the de- lection of adulterations of food. where the adulterants consist of some kind of min eral matter. The food to be examined is reduced to powder and spread thinly upon glass. An x-ray photograph of the glass reveals the presence of the mineral particles by the failure o fthe rays te penerate them as they penetrate the other constituents of the powdered food.
