GOOD NOVELS THROWN IN.

A reader Of The Chicago Record
Herald with mathematical turn of
mind has, calculated that the serial
novels published in that paper in a
year represent saving of from SIS
to SIS to it's readers. He figures that
for the fiction lover it is more econ
omical to subscribe for The Record
Herald than to go without it.
"No other large city daily" he
continues, "prints so much of the
best new fiction, in addition to all
the news of the day. Not counting
the innumerable short stories in the
Sunday Magazine of The Record
Herald, that magazine prints yearly
at least four serial novels by some OF
the best popular authors Rider

The Powers Caught Mapping.

The joke is on Europe, or rather
on those great predatory powers that
have been licking their chops for
thirty years in anticipation of the
fine slice of Turkey they were going
to enjoy.
They have awakened from their
dream to find the unsupported Bal
kans confederated under their I'M
suspecting noses, to hear the roar of
the victorious Balkan guns, to see
the terrible Turk running. And if
Europe now can stay the triumph
ant armies outside Saloniki and Con-
stantinople, Europe will think she
has cause to congratulate herself.
Austrians have despised the Serv-
ians as a nation of goatherds and
regicides, as people so long oppress-
ed that no fighting spirit was left in
them, as a remnant rescued by others
and destined to be ridden over that
day to come in which Austria was to
descend like a northern avalanche
clear to the Egean.
The same despised Servians, like
their Bulgarian brothers, have flung
themselves like wolves on the, hated
Turks, have carried fortresses by as
sault which by all the rules of war
required siege to take, have lost a
fourth and third of their men with
such dauntless courage that they
routed their opponents or carried the
coveted position.
And Greece has Joined forces and
driven into Albania with courage
and result. . -.
To be sure, the voters will have to
heed the voice of united Europe.

TOO ELABORATE a SYSTEM
NJ. epIeoelhausen's Idea Of Postal I
Cards, However, Worked Very
Well for Z Time.

Mr.. Spiegelhausen found It hard to
remember at home certain things he
had thought Of in business hours, and
conversely matters that occurred to
him at night would escape his mind
before he reached the Office next
morning. After trying various un-
successful methods of memory cult
walton, he hit on the plan Of writing
postal cards to himself and address,
ing them to the other place from
which ever he happened to be in at
the moment. Thus the last mail
would bring to the house one or more
cards with such a memo. scrawled
upon it: Remind Mrs. S. to give
my coat to cleaner" and vice versa
the first mail downtown would re-
mind him: "See J. T. w. in re. thou
sand lot umbrella canes"
For a time this served the purpose,
but presently his precise and farsee-
ing mind began to anticipate and
work more and more in advance, so
that on a Monday night he would
mail card from home saying: BE
sure to send card from once tOmOr'
row to remind yourself of dinner en-
gagement Tuesday," Then he got to
jotting down appointments on postal
cards a whole week ahead, sending
other cards to warn himself when to
drop them in the letter box, and final
ly his harassed brain refused to work
any longer on such a strain.
One evening his wife asked him
whether he had thought to attend to
the season tickets for the opera, and
he replied with a sheepish attempt at
laughter: 81 suppose that was on the

Muscles and Brain.

Experiments conducted by Mosso of
Turin indicate that physical educar
ton and gymnastics serve not only
for the development of the muscles,
but for that of the brain as we'll. It
is becoming evident, in the opinion of
this authority, that as much time
SHOULD be devoted to muscular exer-
else as to intellectual exercise, and
that children should begin reading
and writing only after they are nine
years old.
Muscular fatigue exhibits pheno-
mena Identical with intellectual IA
tigue. Nerve cells show tendency to
rest every ten seconds. It is probable
that only part of the brain is active
at a time; the various parts relieve
one another. The more mobile any
animals extremities are, the more in
telligent, other things being equal, It
is.-Harper's Weekly.

suffering and the rage it creates y too
awful to mention. I'm
What really ought to happen to
these inquiring matrons Is this:
When one asks a maid the question.
the maid should scare her into gal
looping Mysteries by looking meaning
" at her one and only husband and
observing, con expressione-''The man
/ love Is married."
The matron would THINK. Indeed,
she would be thinking even while
she hurriedly pleaded an engagement
and piloted her husband out OF the
maids dangerous neighborhood. Pos
sibly that is all that is needed-just
to set the married interrogators think
ing-to make them realize the enorm-
ity of their offense. Surely the utter
violation of good taste, the inexcus-
able intrusion into personal affairs,
the suffering they carelessly create
must make them pause.
If wife asks the REASON and a
maid insinuates that SHE is 1T, she
levels the popgun of her Impairment
inquiry full in the face of another
spinster. And every matron made to
think-and feel a little wholesome
fear, perhaps-will mean one less
maid, at least, to be grilled on the
hot plate of the married woman's
curiosity.
If every pretty and attractive I'M
married woman would follow out this
suggestion a reformation would be
effected that would enable us to pre-
serve the sacredness of our memories
or our pride or-our regulations! It's
worth trying!-New York Press.
