WHY ANGER sHoRTENs LIFE.
Every limo We Flare Up Our Vitality
Shrnks Proportionately.


when we are pleased the pulse is
strong, when we are displeased weak.
The same thing holds for breathing.
If an experience is pleasant we breathe
more deeply, if unpleasant less deeply.
In JOY we breathe in great breaths; in
sorrow our breathing is short and
weak. When we are pleased we are
stronger muscularly-we can put out
more strength-than when we are lust
ly angry pleasant anger. Grief bows
us down, brushes US, leaves us physi-
cally weaker than ever
Thus writes Dr. e. B. Tichenen in his
Primer of Psychology" and his views
are partly borne out by DR.. Maurice de
Fleury, the we'll known authority on
brainstorms.
His view is that every time we are
angry our vitality shrinks so much in
proportion for every outburst. In fact,
DR.. de Fleury asserts that each bout
of anger, each rush of evil passion, cuts
off certain portion of the life we
should enjoy if it had not happened.
Every time man gets angry" he
says, che shortens his life by so many
minutes or days-perhaps even years.
A great deal depends on the intensity
of the anger" -Tit-Bits.

THIS METAL CATCHES COLD.
Tin Unless Kept Above Certain Degree
Falls Victim to "Tinfluenza."

Tin Unless Kept Above Certain Degree
Falls Victim to "Tinfluenza."
A curious Illustration of the suscep-
tibility Of metal to heat and cold is
provided by the effect which winter
has upon tin.
As matter Of fact, unless tin is
kept above 10 degrees G.. it falls vic
tim to a strange illness which has
been described as "tinfuenza." In
other words, the metal catches a very
severe cold, the symptoms of which
are decay, loss Of luster and crum-
bling Of the surface to gray powder.
The change is not a chemical one, for
the gray powder is still tin, and the
extraordinary fact is that it can be
brought back by careful warming to
Its originally healthy condition.
The purer the tin is the more sus-
ceptible 1t is to cold and consequent
decay apparently, and in fact 1t may
be made proof against the disease by
alloying it with other metals. The
disease Is cause OF considerable an
noyance and disappointment to the
collectors Of coins who possess valua-
BILE tin specimens in their cabinets.
The rot is even infectious, for de-
caying tin in contact with healthy,
lustrous tin soon spells it and reduces
1t to It's own unhealthy state-Tit-
Bits.

Ut in that magnificent country
through which flows the Colo
RADIO there was once an IN
dian chief of such imposing
mien, such great strength, such mar
velous bravery, that his own ana neigh
boring tribes attributed to him super
human powers His son, Rainbow, IN
herited much of his fathers manly
beauty and courage, and when the ia
ther became too old to lead in war he
summoned his people and representa-
lives Of the neighboring tribes to wit
ness the ceremony of his abdicatioE in
favor of the younger man. When ali
were assembled Surface, the father,
addressed his son, admonishing him to
rule wisely, then counseled the visit
ing chiefs to keep the peace, ending by
placing in the young mans hand a
spear which the old chief had carried
for many years.
One of the chiefs present had brought
his daughter, Singing Water, to wit
ness the ceremony. Rainbow saw her
and loved her. Singing Water saw the
young chief and loved him. Before
the maiden returned with her father to
her country Rainbow mad asked for
her hand, but she had been promised
to another, Snake-in-the- Hole.
Singing Water had no sooner depart
ed than Rainbow fell into melancholy.
His father, seeing that Rainbow would
be useless as a ruler without the mai
den, proposed that they should go to-
gether to her father and endeavor to
secure her in marriage. They made the
journey, crossing the Colorado, and APP
peared before the chief. He did not
dare grant their request for fear of
antagonizing Snake-in-the-H Hole. Hav-
ing met with a polite refusal, they
started, with heavy hearts, on their re-
turn journey. On the way they saw
Singing Water sitting on rock wait
ing to bid adieu to the man she loved.
Rainbow rode up to the rock, which
was to the height of his pony's back
Singing Water put her arms about him
and whispered in his ear ''Take me

only when he wished the beast to go
at full speed, and before the few peo-
pie standing about had realized what
he was doing Rainbow. with his bur
den, was going like the wind. Surface
followed, calling on his son to halt.
Snake-in-the- Hole, seeing that some
thing was amiss, rode to where the
maiden had been captured and. learn
ing what had taken place, dashed after
the fugitives, calling at the same time
to other warriors to follow him. Sun

him for what he had done, saying that
this was rash act with which to be.

1t seemed to the lovers that the old
man spoke rashly, for the Colorado

crossing was a slow process. Before

When they arrived at the river Sun

spear which he had surrendered and
begin the descent to the river with

the spear and led Singing Water down
the trail. When the pursuers came up
they found the old chief sitting on his
horse in the bed of a shallow stream
flowing between two rocks which he
could touch with either hand and tow

The Indians had so long been used
to considering Surface as superhuman
that the awe inspiring sight of the old
man sitting on his horse. rigid. his

leader, brought them to a sudden halt.

brave and angered at the abduction OF

CIVIL WAR DANDlEs
In 1863 and 1864 it was a common
occurrence to see a man arrayed in a
brown coat, purple waistcoat and
french blue trousers-a combination Of
colors that would cause riot If they
were worn today.
In 1866 the derby hat was intro
duced, previous to which time every
man to be well dressed must wear the
tall beaver hat, often called stoyepipe,
the extreme height and shape sug-
costing the idea Of a piece Of stovepipe.
