HELPING With Home Lessons.

Parental interest in the educational
progress Of child could not &c much
farther than in the case of Mr.. Jones,
whose method of solving mathematical
problems would have been appreciated
at Dotheboys Hall. The Miami News
tells the tale.
This was the note which was hand
ed to one of the grade teachers the
other day:
Dear Mum-Please Excuse Johnny
today. He will not be at school. He
Is acting as timekeeper for his father.
Last night you gave him this iximple,
if field is miles square how long
will it take man walking miles an
hour to walk 21s times around it?
Johnny amt no man, so We had to
send his daddy. They left early this
morning, and my husband said they
ought to be back late tonight, though
it would be hard going. Dear Mum,
please make the mkt problem about
ladies, as my husband can't afford to
lose the days work. l don't have no
time to loaf, but can spare day on
occasionally better than my husband
can. Resp'y yrs. Mrs. Jones. Youths
Companion.

Measuring LIGHT From stars.

Starlight has been measured in COM
parison with sunlight andy the follow
ing results have been announced: The
light received from star of the first
magnitude like Vega is about one for
ty-thousandth-million of the suns
Young places the total starlight receiv-
ed by the earth at the value of 5000
first magnitude stars, thus making the
whole starlight to be one-siXtieth that
of the full moon. Light has an actual
mechanical pressure, and can be meas
ured in the laboratory. 1t has been
found that the suns light in itself
presses against the earth with a force
something like 10000 tons. AS the
surface of a sphere varies as the
square of the radius, and as the vol
ume of mass varies as the cube of
the radius, and as the mechanical pres
sure of light on the whole surface
varies as that surface, and as the
force of gravity varies as the mass
if a sphere were made smaller and
smaller it is easily seen that the pres
sure Of light would not decrease so
fast as the force of gravity; so bodies
beyond a curtain minuteness could not
reach the sun, but would be repealed
by the mechanical force of its light.

RAg!Es IS NOT pELus!oM
Three Hundred Die Each Year From
Dread DIsease-Experts Answer
the Doubters.

Is there such a disease as rabies?
This question, prompted by doubts as
to its existence expressed by dog
breeders in the New York Times re-
Gently, finds an emphatic affirmative
answer in Circular 129 of the Bureau
of Animal Industry of the United
States Department of Agriculture. It.
consists Of a report by George H.
Hart, V. M. D., assistant in pathology
and bacteriology of the pathological
division of the bureau, entitled
rabies and Its Increasing Prevail
ence," and declares that from one
hundred to three hundred persons die
of it each year in this country.
The division of pathology began in
vestigating rabies in 1895, following
the death of a woman in the District
Of Columbia, and since that time 1t
has investigated nearly $50 cases in
dogs, twenty-five in cows, six in cats
and a dozen or more among sheep,
hogs, horses, wolves, foxes, dingoes
and several in human beings. At least
rs per cent. of the cases have been
in the city of Washington, the others
having been forwarded to the division
from such widely separated states as
the Carolinas, Maine, Wisconsin, New
Jersey and Virginia and Indian Terri
tory. "The disease" says Doctor Hart,
rs constantly spreading, and there is
abundant evidence to warrant the
statement that not a single state is
free from it,"
Discussing the doubt as to the exis-
tence of the disease in human beings,
Doctor Hart writes:
MANY educated men, including
some physicians. claim that all cases
Of hydrophobia in the human family
are the result of wrought up, nervous
excitement, due to fear on the part of
the patient. While at times these
symptoms, termed lyssophobia, do &C.
cur in neurotic individuals who have
been bitten by healthy dogs, they are
always hysterical in nature, cause no
organic LESSONS, and universally ter
inmate in recovery. Thus, lyssopho-
bia is entirely distinct from the real
disease, which is universally fatal,
when not treated, to the human be-
ing"

WHY YOUTH BOOSTED CARY
New Reason Advanced for Advocating
Election of Candidate for Po-
llticaI Office.

There are many reasons advanced
by friends of political candidates why
their favorite should be elected to Of
flee, some of which are humorous as
is the following:
Nearly year ago, Congressman
William j. Cary announced his can
didacy for the Office of mayor at the
next election, and Immediately his
friends started boosting him for the
Job" Whenever they could get a
man "cornered" they would immedi-
ately expound the virtues of Mr.. Cary.
A little boy approached voter near
the Northwestern depot.
Say, mister, will you vote for Mr..
Cary for mayor?" he asked.
well, seeing as how you were kind
enough to ask me-, 1 will, my little
man." returned the man good-natured-
ly.
Thanks" said the little boy hap
PLY, and he started to walk away.
The man, however, stopped him with
question.
"You seem to be interested in Con-
gresham Cary?" he said.
Yep" answered'the kid"
Glow does it happen that you are
out working for his election as mayor,
and why do you ask me to vote for
him?"
"Oh, he's good fellow. He used to
go with my mother before she married
my father"

Seaport Taking Its Old Place.

ALen, lately visited by King George,
was flourishing seaport centuries
before the Christian era, and con-
tinued to thrive under the Roman EN-
pire and after the rise of Mohamme-
dan power in Asia Minor. The adop-
ton of the Cape of Good Hope route
to India, however, deprived it of it's
trade. and Alden sank to the squalid
insignificant village. Revival came in
Early Victorian days when the over
land route to India was reverted to-
The British government saw the i'm
portance of Alden as guarding the pas
sage to its eastern empire, and num-
Der of outrages upon Englishmen by
the Arabs led 10 the dispatch of an
expedition which took the town in
January. 1899. Since then it's trade
and population have increased until
today Alden is a settlement over 70
square miles in extent and one of the
most important Of our links of en-
pire."

Chancery courts the other day, when
il was mentioned thai the residue of
the great fortune Of Miss Magan avail
able for charities would be about

old lady had a mania for accumulat-
ing treasure and placing it in the
most unexpected places. Searches
had been made and treasures found
in flower pots and vases and waste
paper baskets, underneath stairs, car
pets and other places.
