Dangerous Exercise.

Every person who has received
gymnasium training is aware of the
fact that an exercise which calls for
painful effort on the part of the be-
ginner is often performed almost
without any conscious effort at all
after a certain amount of training has
been received. Again, it is perfectly
well known that brute strength alone
does not make a gymnast. and that a
simple exercise may offer great diff
ficulty to a muscular and well develop
ed individual who has not been train
ed in the gymnasium. The explana-
tion for this is made plain in an ar
ticle by Prof. du Bois Raymond in Die
Umschau, who points out that one of
the essential functions of gymnasium
work is not so much to build up mus
Gle as to train nerves and nerve
groups to work in proper unison and
coordination.

BEWARE OF "FRIED FROZEN
EGG"

The department of agriculture has
issued a solemn warning to the Amer
lean public to beware of the fried
frozen egg" and the boiled dried
egg"
These dread species of hen fruit, &C
cording to the department flourish
around localities where fresh eggs
are hard to obtain. The department
insists that the traffic in these un-
lowful eggs has increased greatly in
the past few years.
The warning states that there is no
particular harm in freezing a frying
egg or drying a boiled egg if the same
is done under the proper sanitary con.
ditions and before the egg obtains a
to venerable age. 1t warns the pub.
lie further that such eggs appear in
cakes and pies, where their inferior
ity may be successfully concealed.

Cause of Age and Death.

Everything points, it appears to me,
to the essential correctness of the
view which holds age and death to be
the result of the greatly increased diff
ferentiation of larger organisms. Is
there then any probability that we
shall some time find that in the high
er animals, as in the lower ones, death
need not occur? Evidently not. If
death is the price OF differentiation,
then after the goods have been deliv-
cred the price must be paid. To pre-
vent higher organism from undergo
ing death would at the same time pre-
vent him from becoming a higher or
ganism. And the cell which remains
In the embryonic condition-the cell
of the germ glands-is even now as
immortal as the cell of the infusorian.
Death. as Minot says, is the price we
pay for our complex life. Age and
death, though not inherent in life it.
SELF are inherent in the differentia-
ton that makes life worth living

Roman Masons and Their Tools.

The excavations at Pompeii and
Herculaneum have unearthed masons
tools much resembling those in use
today. and demonstrated the freer use
of large tiles. the employment of iror
to tie together brick and stone work
and the use of kind of concrete of
which lime was the binding medium,
and finely broken brick a favorite ma
terial. The dome of the Pantheon,
built in the first century of the Chris
tian era, still testifies to the enduring
nature of concrete superstructure, al

DEATHS LESSEN.

Returns to the marine hospital serv-
ice indicate that there were SO deaths
out of 4,625 human hydrophobia pa
tients treated with serum in the Unit
ed States last year The number OF
rabid animals killed and examined
was 1898
New York and New Jersey each had
13 deaths from hydrophobia and
Pennsylvania 10. Every state except
Idaho, Maine, Montana Nevada. New
Mexico, Utah and Vermont had hydro
phobia infected areas, New York hav-
ing 80, New Jersey 6S, Ohio 81 and
Pennsylvania g. The total for all
the states is 1881. as against 534 in
fected localities in 1908.
The figures show spread of hydro
probia to the Pacific coast states,
which were apparently entirely free
from the disease at the time of the
governments investigation in 1908.
In contrast with the increased dis
tribution in the lower animals there
has been a decrease of IL per cent. in
human deaths.

TALE OF POSTAGE STAMPS.

1t is not often that Postmaster Cen
eral Frank H. Hitchcock contributes
detective story to contemporaneou
literature, but he did the other day
when he forwarded to congress THE
Trail OF the Three Trunks; or, Who
Got the Postage Stamps?'
The story is in one volume and suit
able for light summer reading. 1t is
"a string tale of the reasons why
Edgar Allen, Jr., postmaster at Rich
mond, Va, should be relieved from ac-
counting for $17,7SS worth of two-cent
stamps stolen from his postoffice in
March, 1910.
The story is thriller and carries
the reader over seven or eight states.

quently. The tale revolves about the
desperate attempt of Edward Fay and
Richard Harris to get away with the
swag" in three trunks, and the trail
of the trunks, which led to the discov-
cry of the culprits; the return of part
of the booty and prison cells for the
burglars.
The postmaster is technically re-
sponsible for the partial loss. 1t has
been the custom of Congress to make
good the losses of bondsmen in such
losses.

TEACHES THEM THRIFT
FATHER MAKING HIS CHILDREN
LEARN VALUE OF MONEY.
Each Has Some of His Own for
Household Work, but Allowance
is Reduced If His Savings
Fall Below Mark.

William Jones is a thrifty father
with plan of his own for teaching
his four children the value of money.
These children are 10, IL, and 6
years old; the two eldest are girls,
and the two youngest are boys. Father
Jones is head of branch of his house
hold which he calls the thrift de-
partment"
10 teach child to save, Jones be-
lieves, 1t is essential to let him handle
a little money of his own, and always
to have some in his possession. 81 be-
lieve," says Jones. that the boy who
can go through store full of attrac-
tive things. spend small amount
thoughtfully, and come back with some
loose change in his pocket is on the
road to thrift"
In carrying out his duties as general
manager of the thrift department
Jones pays each child a certain amount
Tor work done about the house. The
S-year-oid boy earns twenty-five cents
week in this way. He is expected
to spend fifteen cents of that amount
In any way he pleases, but to have q.

for the small metal home bank
which is kept for him. If he brings
only eight cents, the next week his
allowance is cut to twenty-three cents,
and fifteen cents of this is put into
the bank by General Manager Jones
before the boy can touch 1t.
The plan works. Nearly hundred
dollars is in savings bank to the
credit of the eldest girl; the other girl
has $40. The S-year-old boy has been
broke" number of times, but he is
learning that 1t doesn't pay to spend
it all. Jones says that his 15-year-oid
daughter has become a careful and
successful shopper. that she always
has money for whatever she wants
most, and that so far as she is con-
cerned his duty as overseer is about
ended. r.
I've never heard of thrift plan that
seemed more reasonable, interesting
and likely to succeed. l believe it
would do lot to hold family to-
gether.- Certainly, in Jones's case, it
is going to ease the responsibilities of
the future.

Value of BUILDINGS in France.

The results of the decennial valua-
ton of buildings in France show that
in the fiscal year 1909-10 there were.
outside of public buildings, monu-
ments, etc. 9,475.7S6 houses and 1877
676 workshops and factories in the re-
public. The rental value of these
structures is given in the returns as

In New. York hospital cadaver

Shielding his writing with one hand
he managed to scrawl a single line on

hold on the paper he called her to
him once more.

ARMY SHOE
Experimenters Report Results of
Years Study to Board.
Adoption of the New Idea VIII Bring
an Increase In the Efficiency, Say
Probers-No More Aching
Feet.

Washington-"An army crawls on
It's belly. but 1t has to use its legs
to do it."
With this seemingly paradoxical
adaptation OF the dictum of a famous
general, officers OF the United States
army are today giving forcible ex-
preston to the vital Importance of
the matter OF the soldiers shoes. Ma
poleon himself once said that he made
war not with the arms but with the
legs of his soldiers, in expressing his
Identical view of the same question.
Another grand commander, Marshal
Bugeaud, declared that the two great
est problems of war are to find har-
ness that will not injure horses and
shoes that will not injure men.
Bearing in mind these vigorous ex-
pressions from the mouths of men
who were great generals when the
United States was hardly born, Off
GERS of the American army have been
wrestling with the shoe problem for
a century. Next to the matter of
food itself. 1t has been long recog-
niZed as of supreme Importance,
though this recognition has not always
resulted in proportionate attention
being paid to the problem.
After many a weary and bitter
struggle, during which investigating
board succeeded investigating board,
and shoe after shoe was tried on the
long suffering soldier without much
relief OF his miseries, an army board
has now produced a shoe which is
generally pronounced as the most sat
isfactory yet devised for the United
States army, and superior so far as is
known to that in use in any other
army. This board has presented it's
report after four years of experiment
study and investigation, and has been
enabled to recommend a shoe which
all its members feel sure is the best
shoe the soldier could wear. This re-
port is now in the hands of the war
department and will soon be taken
up for final consideration by General
Wood, chief of staff, and his military
advisers. Should the report be ac-
cepted, as is generally anticipated,
and the shoe recommended made the
otfici shoe of the army, the Ameri-
can soldier will have a new expert
ence in foot comfort, it is predicted.
Indeed it is believed that the leaven
of shoe reform spread among the SOL
diers will have no inconsiderable in
fiuence upon the foot comfort of the
general public, for the defects of the
present service shoe in the army are
but slight indeed compared to those
of the shoes worn by millions of
Americans in civil life.

SLEEP PRODUCING BULLET?

Alexander f. Humphrey of Pitts
burg is endeavoring to impress the
war department with the desirability
of equipping the United States army
with his new sleep producing bullet.
According to the claims of the in
ventor the Humphrey sedative bull
let is coated with a preparation of
morphine which renders it painless
after it has once entered a wound
instantaneous pain at the moment of
impact and then sweet dreamless
sleep is promised for the enemy so
fortunate as to stop one of the new
projectiles.
At the war department it is stated
that no officers or men of the army.
have yet volunteered their bodies for
experiment as targets for Humphreys
soporitic pellets.

DAYS Effect on the Mood.

But the days themselves are not re-
current periods of limpid quietude.
They vary as the landscape in its
extreme of storm-terror and warm,
autumn haze. And we vary with them,
a very mirror of responsive emotion
to all that surrounds us. The quest,
then, is to learn so to live that we are
content to make our way along a path
we see but dimly, yet do so having no
fear. Our faith must never waver in
the security of the way; and each
days journey must find us enriched
by what has been revealed.-Thomas

BIG SHOOT FOR CAMP PERRY
Other Nations to Send Teams to
Make II an international
Event.

Army officials say the international
rifle match to be held at Camp Perry,
o., next summer will be the greatest
shooting tournament in the history of
the world. 1t was announced that
practically every civilized and some
OF the semi-civilized nations of the
world have indicated their purpose
to send team to the match. The
prospects are that there will be
enough sharpshooters at Camp Perry
to form brigade.
The recent victory of the American
team at Buenos Ayres, and in Stock
holm in the Olympic games, has con-
vinced the military authorities of
other nations that the marksmen of
this country lead all others. The for.
eign military authorities say they are
anxious to participate in the Camp
Perry event in order to become bet
ter acquainted with the American
system of developing marksmen.
They are at loss to understand
how the American riflemen have been
able to use peep signals in rapid fir
ing. Military authorities of other ma
tions have not considered peep sights
suitable for service conditions. They
did not think that rapid firing could
be done with any degree of accuracy
by the use of peep sights. But in the
Pan-American match at Buenos Ayres,
and the Olympic shoot at Stockholm.
this theory was exploded by the
American teams. The American
marksmen. according to official rec
ords, received at the department here,
not only made more hits, but fired
more rapidly.
The United States minister at
Buenos Ayres in his latest report to
the state department, speaks in the
highest terms of the conduct of the
American team. AS the result of the
teams remarkable record and its
sportsmanlike conduct, the minister
reports that Argentine, Brazil. Chill,
Peru and Uruguay have decided to
send teams to the Camp Perry inter
national match. Reports of the same
character come from the Olympic
matches, which indicate that all of
the nations of the Old World will be
represented at the event.

LAST OF THE OLD sANTEE.

Another relic of the famous old
wooden navy of the United States
passed into private hands, probably to
be reduced to junk, when the navy
department accepted a bid of G. Hit
ner, of $3.50 for the Santee.
She was an old sailing frigate. laid
down in 1920, and was fer nearly half
a century on duty at the naval acad-
emy. where many admirals and high
ranking officers of the present navy
were confined on her when she was
the midBhipmen's prison ship.

Horseshoe Nails in South Africa.

The demand for horseshoes nails is
fairly good throughout South Africa.
Away from the railways. the truck
wagon, with five to eight pairs of
bullocks, is still very much in evi-
dence Horses, mules and donkeys
are used in more populated centers
for drawing heavy loads. In the coun-
try horses are used chiefly for riding
and driving. AS the roads are usually
quite rough all these animals require
frequent shoeing.

and John has four. how many have
they both got together"
rs that so very hard?" she asked.
Yes. ma'am."
But surely" the teacher con-
tinued, you know already that three
and four make seven. There can be
no trouble about that"
Il know that, ma'am." was the
pathetic response. But the process!
It's the process that wears me out!"-
