that an exercise which calls for pain

is often performed almost without any
conscious effort at all after GER

known that brute strength alone does
not make a gymnast, and that even a

LITTLE DEMAND FOR LEEcHes
Almost Nothing Compared With What
II Used to Be Only Few
Years Ago.

Forty years ago there were In
Paris alone 10 wholesale dealers in
leeches, each of whom sold between
100000 and 100000 leeches monthly,
for which they received on an aver
age about $50 thousand.
Today there Is only one dealer In
the capital and he gets from six to
seven francs (s1.20 to $1.40) hum
dred. His name Is Leya and he han
dies about 10000 per month, his best
market being the United States. He
has sometimes half a million In
stock
In former times the Paris poor law
administration purchased 10000
francs ($i6,000) worth year; this
was in the '30s and '40s of the 10th
century; the administration now finds
itself amply supplied with $40 worth
annually.
The great breeding ground for
French leeches was the marshes
around Bordeaux. A poor peasant
named Bechade was the Greater OF
the industry. He rented tract of
marsh land for about $50, and this.
when properly stocked with leeches.
became worth $4,000
Bechade collected the leeches by
buying all the worn out horses he
could get hold of and driving them
into the marshes FIVE or six times
month, especially in April, May,
June. October and November. Be
chade's business flourished, and when
he died he was worth 1,000.0e0f.
After while the French leech
trade was ruined, not only on account
of the great decline in the demand,
but on account Of the accessibility of
other sources Of supply brought about
by the improved facilities of trans
port, fast trains Bringing them IN q
short time from Turkey, Bohemia and
Dalmatia, and to more limited ex.
tent from Algeria AID Russia.-Medi-

Tried Trick Ono. Too often.

A man of seventy-five, who Of re,
cent years had extorted money fRom
charitable persons. In Paris, by pre-
tending to commit suicide, has fallen
a victim to his ingenuity. He used to
fasten rope, attached to the ceiling,
about his neck with an easy running
moose. Then, having Knocked over
the furniture. he. would overturn the
chair on which he was standing and
remain hanging by the rope. Alarm
ed by the noise, the neighbors would
rush in and cut him down. After be
ing revived he would depict his state
of distress in such moving language
that money would be forthcoming 10,
his relief Later he would repeat the
trick in another house. invariably
with success. But few days ago
when he was carrying out the trick
there was hitch. No one went Il
his help and he remained hanging
being eventually cut down dead.

KEEPING CUT FLOWERS FRESK

Sprjnikled Every Hour.

Almost the first thought that fol-
lows admiration for freshly picked
bouquet is how it can be preserved
the greatest length of time? Many
experiments have been uBdertaken to
prevent flowers from fadiug-such as
placing salt IN the water. or nipping
them off and applying sealing wax
We have tried all methods and have
come to the conclusion that changing
water in which. the stems are plunged
frequently and sprinkling the flowers
hourly, will keep them fresh and fair
fbnger than will other treatment.
The water used should be tepid
The cooler the temperature Of the
apartment the better. Never leave
flowers under a gas jet, or they will

ROMANCE IN MINING OF TIN
3olivian Mountains at Present Con
tribute one-Fifth Of the Worlds
Supply.

While Bolivia has copper and gold
and other minerals as we'll as silver,
ler greatest wealth Is In tin. There
as much romance in tin mining in
bolivia as in diamond mining In
south Africa and gold mining in our
wn country. Fortunes just as large
ave been made. One man who q few
years ago was prospector now has
n income from his tin mines equal
o that of the bonanza kings of Call.
ornia or the South African mining
nagnates. He has recently offered
20 build a railway line which the
government itself did not feel able to
undertake.
In all the world last year there
we're only 10000 tons of tin pro
,iuced, and to this quantity Bolivia
contributed one-fifth. so the value Of
her, tin deposits can be understood.
s}ome of this tin is mined as high as
1000 feet. Most of the mines, how.
over, are worked at attitudes Of less
than $4,000 feet. Tin mining has thus
the distinction of location at one Of
'uans most lofty permanent dwelling
places as we'll as beneath the bed. OF

found in the worlds oldest known tin
mines in Devonshire, England.-Chris.

SCARS THAT STAY ON B0Dr
Though the Idea Of Regular Seven
Year Change Is Right, II Has
Its Limitations.

There are people who tell you that
everything In the body is changed
every seven years, and that there is
no part of 1t which was there seven
years ago. This does not mean that
we slough the whole thing of at
once, as a snake does its skin or a
deer its antlers, but simple that the
innumerable and tiny atoms which are
used up by the daily wear and tear
are replaced by fresh atoms supplied
by our food and drink, which keep the
body going. just as coal and water
keep the steam-engine at work.
But these changes are so minute
md gradual that the form of the body
remains the same. although such
things as scars take a long time to
disappear, and sometimes they re-
main for life. although they always
lose a great deal of their prominence.
You may have noticed that II you
cut your finger lightly 1t will soon
heal up and the scar presently disap-
pear, Just as the marks of a super.
acial burn will gradually go away;
5ut IL the cut is deep the scar re
mains. This is because 1t went down
10 what is called the true skin. Any
cuts, stains, or burns on the outer
skin are gradually pushed up and
worn or washed off. just as the hair
N the back of your hand wears OF
without your cutting 1t and grows
gain; but anything that goes down
to the true skin, like tattoo marks
always remains

ALI wanderers are lovers of the
daring exploits the Kirghiz take the

fanconry, which was not introduced
into Europe until the crusaders
brought back falcons with them from
their eastern wanderings. But Inn

eagles, with which they hunt such
game as gazelles, foxes and even
wolves.
A we'll mounted Kirghiz falconer,
carrying on his wrist one of these
magnificent birds, Is fine sight. The
weight OF the eagle is such that the
owner requires support for his
wrist, and the hunters are usually to
be seen with little wooden bracket
