fired point blank at Mrs. Ingalls, bos-

into the body that lay at her feet and
fled to a house directly across the
street.

woman who had done the killing, told
the police where they might find his
wife and when they entered the room
she arose from a chair and said quiet

THREE LETTERS A MINUTE
That Was the Best Speed of the Sem.
aphore Telegraph of the Days of
the French Revolution.

Signal fire telegraphing, with its
very limited scope of information
contained, seems to have been about
the only means of communicating
quickly across distance until rela-
lively modern times.
1t was not until the days Of the
French revolution that any material
improvement over the beacon fire
telegraph developed. Three brothers
named Chappe devised the sema-
phore telegraph. This system got
into active operation in 1894, and
the first real message ever spelled
out and telegraphed across country
was in that year, and the text was
as follows:
"Conde is taken from the Austri-
ans"
The same day the national con-
vention, sitting in Paris, sent back
the following reply to the army:
"The Army of the North deserves
the gratitude of the country"
The semaphore operators attained
a speed of three letters a minute in
fine weather, with an average of one
minute over long distance. This
made necessary the invention of con-
densed codes, which came into fash
ion.-New York Telephone Review

DOCTORS CANE is OBSOLETE
Until Recent Times No Medical Man
Made Professional Visit
Without II.

The physicians cane is a very am
cient part of his insignia. 1t is now
disused, but up to very ancient times
no doctor of medicine woAld have
presumed to pay a professional visit,
or even to be seen in public, without
this mystical wand. Long as a foot
mans stick, smooth and vanished,
with heavy gold knob or cross-bar
at the top, it was an instrument with
which, down to the present century,
every prudent aspirant to medical
practice was provided. The celebrat-
ed ''gold-headed cane" which Rad
cliffe, Mead, Askew, Pitcairn and
Baltic successfully bore, is preserved
in the College of Physicians, bear
ing the arms which those gentlemen
assumed, or were entitled to. In one
respect it differed from the physi-
clans cane proper; it had a cross
bar, almost like a crook; whereas a
physicians wand ought to have a
knob at the top. This knob in olden
times was hollow and contained a
vinaigrette, which the man of SCI
ence always held to his nose when he
approached a sick person, so that its
fumes might protect him from the
noxious exhalations of his patient

EFFECT OF FEAR ON BIRDS
Keeps Them From Reproducing Them.
selves-No Animal Ever Fully
Receivers From Fright.

Birds are wonderfully acted upon
by fear. Darwin has said, 'No dis
contented animal reproduces itself"
1t is equally noticeable that no ami
NAL or bird that is affected by fear
will reproduce itself.
This is the case in all orders of
animal life. When an animal or
bird is frightened it never RECEIVERS
from it, as is seen in the case of a
horse when frightened somewhere on
the road; it always keeps in memory
the source and location of its scare.
Sheep that are once frightened by
dogs never do well afterward; so
with birds when they have been pur-
sued by the hunter on their feeding
or breeding grounds; they never re-
turn to that spot again.
This element Of fear which so acts
upon the bird is still more effective
in insect life. 1t is not so much the
number of insects that are killed or
eaten by the birds as it is the active
principle of fear, and that element
Of life called self-preservation, which
the bird creates and incites in all
lower orders of insect life that pre-
vents the insect from reproducing,
and this is what the bird indirectly
accomplishes, and is the greatest
purpose Of its existence.
Insect life has no particular fear
of man. 1t appears to be endowed
with a consciousness that man is
unable to cope with it, or to observe
its presence or increase it recognizes
only the bird as its natural enemy
and source of destruction.-Rura'

RUBBER FROM TURPENTINE.

The invention of a new kind of
synthetic rubber is announced from
Christiania, Norway. A German
physician, DR.. Kurt, Gross, has pro-
duced from turpentine after eight
cen months experimenting a new
rubber-like substance which he de-
clares is perfect substitute and
costs only one-quarter as much as
the natural article.
1t is an odorless compound, and
its color is yellowish white. Heated
to between 80 and 100 degrees, the
substance becomes transparent; il
assumes light brown hue and gives
off slight smell of turpentine.
The inventor has already manu-
featured several articles with the
new artificial rubber to demonstrats
its virtues, notably set Of accumu-
lators which are Ave times hghtey
than the usual type made Of lead.

who when he got licked excused him.

salesman the other day. "Here is q
better version of the same story:
''The man was drunk and entered
a bowery dance hall in New York.
He took a position in the middle Of
the floor and shouted at the top OF
his voice: 4 can lick any man in
this ROOM No one paid any atten-
ton to him, but one man finally got
sore, and started to pound him.
"Did the drunk get sore and say
that he took in too much territory !?
He did not. He jumped to his feet,

GIRLS ARE TOO PARTICULAR
Why They Often Fail to Obtain Hus-
bands, According to Views of
a Catholic Citrate.

Rev. William E. Heating, curate
of st. Patrick's Catholic church,
at Brockton, Mass, in a special
lenten sermon aroused much inter-
est with his views on marriage. Here
is some of his advice:
"Women who could marry and
don't often are too particular. They
start out in life by saying they will
marry the man they want or none
at all, and usually it is none at all.
"a widow has no right to set her
cap for any man until all the young
girls have been supplied with hus-
bands. Profting by their first ezbe-
rience, widows practice their wiles
on men and thereby win second
prizes. A man will have to be most
extraordinary to be as good as the
first husband.
''It is folly for a woman to think
she can change the habits of man
after marriage. Do not exercise
less care in selecting a husband than
you would in choosing a girl to take
charge of your mothers kitchen. p

HOW TO ACQUIRE JUNO FORM
Or. Sargent Tells Women to Try
Hard Housework " They Desire
Graceful Figures.

Women who wish to be beautiful,
particularly those DESTROYS Of reduc-
ing their "plump proportions" to
graceful lines, are recommended by
Dr. Sargent, director of the Har-
ward gymnasium, to try homework.
Sweeping, kneading bread and doing
ones own washing, he says, will
transform women into. 'the ideal
Juno type" while if they will only
get down on their hands and knees
and scrub the floor they will adopt
the best possible methods of straight
ening the spine and developing the
chest.
What a portrait gallery Of Junos
was lost to American art by the neg
lect of painters to seek their mod
els in western or New England farm
houses or in the Dutch kitchens Of
New Amsterdam, exclaims the New
York World. And what opportuni-
ties are overlooked by modern art
lists in Office buildings and hotels !
1t illustrates the perversity of the
sex that with this simple and natural
means of becoming beautiful avail
able to all women, they reject it for
more artificial methods.
Possibly women do not now aspire
to become Junos. 1t was not to
Juno that Paris awarded the prize
for beauty, and incidentally Charles
Frohman is quoted in a London in
,terview as saying that "the big, tall
girl has passed from musical COM
edy" into the ranks of the suffra-
gists. Doubtless parading and
speechmaking for the cause, as web
as golf and athletic sports, are more
popular aids to physical development
than sweeping and scrubbing. And
anyway, what does a professor at a
mans college know about such
things? Does DR.. Sargent recon-
mend blowing and rail splitting to
Harvard students as methods Of be.

FAMILY WlNDFALL.

Father had the rheumatism, uncl1

and his skin was popping out; sister
had the whooping cough, brother
had the Group, and grandma had
sciatica from sitting on the stoop.
Then there came a catalogue, de-
scribing all our ills, guaranteed to
cure 'em with a certain kind of pills.
So the family sent for some, and
when they came, they took and dosed
themselves three times a day, accord
ing to the book.
Two days later father jumped as
timber as mouse; uncle kicked a
cannon ball over Johnson's house!
Baby's measles went away, and sister
stopped her cough, while grandma
felt so fine that she took all her
fannels off!
Now we're never sick at all, or

getting thin, and thin folks getting

CONCERNING EYEsTRAIN.

Eyestrain exhausts the entire
nervous system, occasions the most
intense headaches known to human
beings and deranges digestion, to
say nothing of other ills which it
induces. This being the case, the
eyes must be given rest. They should
never be used for reading when one
is weak from illness or suffering any
headache or fatigue or strain; they
never should be used in a bad light
or with the light shining directly
into them. No eyeglasses-and this
includes injurious cheap smoked
glasses-should be used that have
not been prescribed by an oculist of
established reputation, after careful
examination. In many cases disfg-
uring glasses would never need to be
worn if people gave their eyes the
rest which they require.-Harper's

FOUND A REFUGE At LAST
Experience Of coIored Woman In
Tulsa, Okla, With the Gas
BIH Collector.

Glen T. Braden of Pittsburg and
Oklahoma runs several big natural
gas and oil companies in Oklahoma.
He was in his Office in Tulsa one day
when a collector came in and told
him this tale Of woe:
1t is the custom with the natural
gas companies in Tulsa, as else
where, to shut Off the gas when the
gas bills are not paid by the tenth
Of the month. This gives them a
reasonably sure thing as to the col
lection of their bills, as gas is almost
universally used as fuel.
The collector had a gas Dill in the
negro district. He went to the house
and the negro woman he met dis
claimed responsibility, saying she
was merely a roomer. The collector
insisted on payment.
The woman saw a moving van on
the street and shouted: "Say, you,
come over hyar am move me; dey
done gwine shet Off de gas"
Her belongings we're stored in
dilapidated trunk and she was soon
on her way. The collector shut off
the gas. AS the collector continued
on his way he came upon the same
woman in house in the next block
where she had moved in.
He asked for payment and it was
refused. He started to shut off the
gas.
'Fo' de Lawd's sake, you gwine to
shet dis place off, too?" walled the
woman. The collector was obdurate.
The moving van was still in sight.
The woman hailed it, threw her
trunk in, moved two doors below,
and as the collector was passing she
yelled to him:
"Now, drat you, shet dis olives
