A writer in a French magazine tells
a curious story about how they man
age cheap lodging houses in China.
Along Chinese roads, it seems, there
are many of these lodging houses,
where the charge for a nights lodg-
ing is considerably less than 1 cent
All the bedding provided is one huge
mass Of feathers, into which all the
guests burrow.
Formerly they used to get blankets,
but some time ago those who ran
losses on account of the theft OF
blankets by guests were far too large
Something. they decided. had to be
done. Finally an ingenious man among
them hit on this:
Over the feather filled room Of his
lodging house he hung an enormous
canvas covering. In the daytime 1t
hung near the ceiling. At night 1t was
lowered by means Of pulleys until it
covered the entire mass of feathers
and all those sleeping thereon. thus
taking the place of individual blankets.
This huge canvas was provided with
q large number of small Sits through
which the guests might stick their
heads and escape suffocation beneath
the immense covering
Early each morning the loud pound
ing Of a drum served to waken the
sleepers and warn them to get their
heads out of the Sits in the canvas.
Thereupon it was raised again to the
ceiling and fastened there to await
the next batch Of sleepers-

The Guinea Pig Helped in the Discovery
Of the Germ that Causes Dandruff

When Drs. LASER and Bishop made
and vaseline, which they afterwards
rubbed on guinea pig, they were con-
tributing to science more than they
knew. The application of the salve
caused the pig to lose its hair and be-
come bald.
This was merely one of the prelimin-
airy steps which made possible the dis
covery of Newbro's Herpicide. After
establishing beyond question the exist
ence of the dandruff germ, remedy
was needed to kill this parasite.
There was nothing which would do
this until Newbro's Herpicide was
placed upon the market Being the

In the dark and gloomy days OF
1868, when our nations destiny seem
ed to hang in balance, several his
tory making events took place. These
events were perhaps the turning point
of our nations career. In that year
Meade defeated Lee at Gettysburg,
Grant captured Vicksburg. Abraham
Lincoln freed the slaves, and to add
to the triumphs of the very eventful
year there was born on the 25th day
of December, in the southeastern
a promising infant who was christened
Marcus, and who is today the honored
Secretary and Treasurer of Post C.
This prodigy of Christmas gift, in a
dark and gloomy time, came to Indi-

of today about that cold New Years.
Fourteen months only of our Score

ciated with such characters as the

His education along the line of his
associates was not neglected and some
terrific tales are on tap when you get
our Secretary in a reminiscent mood.
At twenty years of age he came back
to Richmond where he clerked in gro
ceries, fruit houses, etc. For the past
twenty years he has been engaged in

tons they can be compelled to come
closer together by contraction or forced
to fly further apart by expansion. A
quart bottle, for example, holds twenty
two grains Of air at the temperature
of 70 degrees. If the bottle be cooled
by surrounding it with ice the air in
side contracts. When this occurs more
air rushes in through the bottles neck.
The quart of air now weighs more
than twenty-five grains. If the bot
tie be heated the air it contains ex-
pands, its tiny particles fly further
asunder. and many Of them escape
from the bottle altogether. There is
still a quart of air, but 1t weighs much
less chan the original twenty-five
grains.
Now, consider the earth and the sea

Of the suns heat Where the heat is
greatest the air is made lighter and
expands. Where the heat is least the
air is unexpanded and heavy. Both
the hot and the cold air have weight.

amateur composers. One such once
accompanied the manuscript OF his
latest composition with Stilton
cheese, Of which he knew Rossini to
be fond. He hoped Of course to have
q letter praising his work. A letter
came, but all it said was: Thanks. l
alike the cheese very much"

his operas in a small theater in Italy
he noticed that the horn was out Of
tune.

such an unholy way?" he demanded.

| "Ah, 1t ID you, is it? Well, go right

Rossini's whimsicality extended even
to his birthday. Having been born ON
Feb. %, in leap year, he had Of course
a birthday only once in four years,
and when he was seventy-two he face
tiously invited his friends to celebrate
his eighteenth birthday.
All his life he had a dread OF the
number thirteen, as well as Of Fri
days. He never would invite more
than twelve to dinner. and once when
he had fourteen he made sure of an
understudy who would. at a moments
