THE CURIOUS SNAIL.
This Creature Can Live Without Air
Water or Nourishment.

While the snail has lungs. heart and
a general circulation and is in every
respect an air breathing creature it
can nevertheless exist indefinitely with
out inhaing the least breath Of air. the
element that is usually considered the
essential to existence in all creatures
supplied with lungs
ITO all organized creatures" said
Leppert, 'the removal of oxygen. wa
ter. nourishrnent and heat causes death
to ensue" When that statement was
made Leppert did not appear to con
slider the snail as one among the great
host Of 'organized beings" for expert
ments by Spallanzani have proved that
any or all the usual life conditions can
be removed in the case of the snail
without terminating its existence or in
any way impairing it's functions.
The common snail retreats into his
shell on the approach Of frosty wealth
er, and the opening or mouth of it's
shell is hermetically sealed by a secre-
ton which is of silky texture and
absolutely impervious to air and water.
In this condition it is plain that it is
deprived of three of the four elements
of life mentioned abOve-air. water and
urishment.-Harper'sW Weekly.

HYGIENE OF VIOLINS.
The Proper Kind Of Case For These
Sensitive Instruments.

The Proper Kind Of Case For These
Sensitive Instruments.
The violin and vioIoncello are most
sensitive to atmospheric conditions and
suffer from atmospheric variations
quite as much as the tender vocal
cords of the singer. Those who have
attempted to make the violin an orna-
ment by hanging it upon the wall have
bad reason to repent taking such a
liberty. The violin loses its varnish
and gradually ITS pitch and timbre.
The artificial heat of rooms in winter
makes its tone raucous when il does
not obliterate it entirely. Metal cases,
morocco covered. are equally unfit for
1t. A strong. well varnished wooden
case. even though it be not especially
attractive to the eye. suits the sus-
capabilities OF the violin much better.
Certain qualities. sometimes unsus-
pected. in the wood play an important
part in the falsifcation of notes. caus-
ing progressive deterioration. There
was time when manufacturers ap-
piled to their product several coats of
"paint'-i. e.. a concentrated solution
OF bichromate Of sodium potash in
boiling water. The wood soon acquir-
ed q yellow tone. and under the action
OF light after drying the color dark
ened and took on the aspect of very
old paint.
For commercial purposes this was
all very we'll. but what happened to
the purchaser was that as soon as he
began to use his instrument exposed
to the light the bichromate worked on
the gelatin. which the manufacturers
employed to color the wood and pre-
vent the penetra ting Of the varnish.
while some element in the bichromate
OF soda was converted into stone. The
violin suffered petrifac ction. which i'm
peded it's tone and rendered it useless.

BAD BREATH.

positively do the work
People afflicted with bad breath find
quick relief through DR.. Edwards Oh
i've Tablets. The pleasant, sugar-coat-
ed Tablets are taken for bad breath
by all who know them.
Olive Tablets act gently but firm
ly on the bowels and liver, stimulat-
ing them to natural action, clearing
the blood and gently purifying the
entire system of impurities.
They do all that dangerous calomel
does without any of the bad after eff
fects.
All the benefits of the nasty, sicken-

from Olive Tablets without gripping,
pain, or disagreeable effects of any
kind.
DR.. NJ. F. Edwards discovered the
formula after seventeen years of prac-
tice among patients afflicted with
bowel and liver complaint with the
attendant bad breath.

Professor Harlow Lindley. OF the
history department OF Earlham Col
lege. while investigating the archives
of the state in the State House IN In
dianapolis, found some valuable his
torical papers in the cellar of that
building. the presence of which was
unknown 10 the authorities. Prot
Lindley was much pleased with the
find which included some territorial
records among other valuable papers.
The papers will be turned over 10
the state authorities and will be filed
among the papers TO be on exhibition
during the celebration OF the Centen-
nial Anniversary OF the state. in 1915.
Professor Llndley's investigation will
be filed with the American Historical
Society. The papers were found IN
a damp room. Water leaking from
pipes in the basement had literally
soaked them.
The following recommendations Will
be made by Professor Lindley TO the
association:
THAT steps be taken TO provide,
III llIsu anu equip q pei uAahChl biaNS
for the preservation of the public re-
cords of the state in an orderly man
ner.
THAT steps be taken TO examine,
classify and remove to suitable
place the papers, documents anr re-
corGs not of present-day use 10 their
respective departments.
THAT any state. county. or other
official be authorized and empowered
in lis discretion TO turn over TO this
department for permanent preserva-
tion any official books. records, doc
uments. original papers, newspaper
files and printed books and material
not in current use in his office.
In 1S41 the State librarian was
required by law to preserve for the
use of the State library 20 copies OF
the journals of the house for each
year, 10 copies of the journals of the
senate for each year. 80 copies OF the
general laws. and Is copies of the To-
cal laws of each year. However. the
librarians disregarded the law until
very late in the century. and. as re-
suit, the state does not now have
complete set of its own publications.
The Documentary Journal. begun
in 1885, is made up of reports from
state institutions and departments,
but it does not contain all of these re-
ports. Its contents are not definitely
regulated by law, but seem TO be
determined by the public printer.
Many reports not included in the Doc
umentary Journal have been lost.
The state librarian is charged with
the care and preservation of the leg
islative papers which shall be deliv-
cred to him at the close of each ses-
sion by the secretary of the senate
and the clerk of the house. and with
the care of all bills introduced in
either branch of the general assembly,
all petitions, memorials. and remon-
strances, keeping the files of each
house separately.
This report has made no effort to
take into account any official records
or papers that have at any time been
printed. Other departments, boards
and commissions visited stated that

OLD BAVARIAN TOWNS.

Walled Farm VILLAGES.

S'hdSCS.
In OLD Bavarian districts many Of the
smaller towns are merely walled farm
villages. These settlements of agricul-
turists reproduce the ancient laager
for all. Each is built in the form of a
paralleiogram. the shorter sides hav-
ing each gateway. with double gates.
over which rise central square watch
towers capped with conical red roofs,
A narrow road or street runs from gate
to gate. with old half timber houses
set back close to the inclosing wall
The ground floor of these houses af-
fords stabling for cattle. and from
these stables the cows are driven out
through the town gates in the morn
ing and brought in at night Town
ships like this are merely clusters of
houses intimately connected with the
farm lands that lie beyond their gates
The peaSantry. whether peasant pro
prietors or allotment leaseholders, go
In and out to their work
In eastern Bavaria. toward the Dan
ube. where the better class farms are
to be seen. one finds farmhouses of
wood, a great shingled roof covering
as in Holland-not only the large liy-
ing apartment, with many bedrooms.
but also the stables for the horses
and cattle. On such farms much of
the farm work is done by girls. who
usually wear short pettieoatS. tight
bodices and kerchiefs on their heads.
Most OF the men are either In the army
or working at trades.

Danton Was Wonder, Though He Did
Once Mix His Subjects.
Danton. the celebrated caricaturist.
had wonderful power of modelling
from memory. After one long look at
his subject he could go to his studio
and make bust quite perfect in its
resemblance.
One day Il young man came to him.
sa wing that his sister was ill and about
to die and that. although the family
wished her bust modelled, they dared
not excite her by mentioning it,
Would he undertake to reproduce her
features after seeing her once? Dan

Informed his sister that he intended
to present her with some jewels and
that young man would bring some
specimens for her approval.
Danton brought In the jewels and,
going home, modelled IL bust of strik
ing resemblance. Next year an old
gentleman. the father of the young wo-
man. came to order a bust of the broth
er. who also had died. This. too. was a
marvellous success.
The result of such planning. how
ever, was not always as satisfac ctory
to his patrons as In these cases. A
gentleman who could not persuade his
wife to sit asked Danton to enter n
certain omnibus one day and fix in his
memory the features of the lady Op

THE WOMAN WAITS,

Who has not, in passing in an evening before

through the window OF womans eager face peer
ing from behind the curtain at the sound OF footsteps
and then fading into blankness at sight of form not
looked for?
You have it, perhaps, many, many times If not
then the first simplest lesson in the deep mystery
of woman's life is to you only a dream undreampt
The woman is waiting.
For what God and she alone know! There are SCI
many things may wait for.
Perhaps it is for the lover.
Or the good and devoted husband, away vim ng the
bread and for whom supper is ready
Or the child play whose time for retyrn has
passed and whose way home night threatens carken
Or the hayward daughter whose pathway ic ever
dark but for the unfailing light of the mother 10 e.
Or-who knows?-the gallant reported cad in
shipwreck distant land battle but whose
she never cease to hope and pray
or-God help her then!-the drunkard husband
But there she waits
Aye, thus waits. From the Dawn OF
her birth the night of her death she waits She
waits and longs and hopes and prays.
1t is not with man. His faith is in his St ength
He his shoulder the storm with firm reso and
What he seeks do he does-or fails And if success
be his some woman shares it, and if he fail some
woman wants.
And she waits.
In her fresh sweet young womanhood she knows a
youth who peases her, but he is cold and she must
wait until he and woos.
Or else, perchance she loves too WELL and when the
fahless lover lags she waits-she waits
When husband her to other joys she waits
she weeps and waits.
How often midnight gloom beside the couch OF
dying child must watch and wait hope and wait prav
and wait
All, man knows not the love and faith the patience
sweet with which woman waits
Her waiting is weakness though: it IS her
strength
If you brave man, have been in battle me amid
hell of shell and rife shot, and must not fire bu wait
and wait and wat-why, then you know what courage
is They say it is the highest test
But woman waits
