MAIL c. yRK UTTERS PROTEST
Wall Should Appeal to Those Who
Have Habit Of PinnIng Their
Written Sheets Together.

IF people must stick pins into their
letters, l wish they would cover up
the points so that they wouldn't push
through" said a mail clerk whose
hands were disfigured by tiny scratch
es. Il must get about a hundred digs
a day from pins that systematic folks
use to hold their correspondence to-
gether. l never could make out, any
how, why so many letters need to be
finished off with a pin.
"Of course, understand that about
half Of those written by women have
a postscript in the shape of samples OF
dress goods or newspaper cuttings,
which perhaps require a pin or two to
hold them in place, but even that habit
cannot account for the large number
of letters that come through the post
Office with a pin sticking out of one
corner.
II have come to the conclusion thai
many writer's so mail their manuscript
with malicious intent. 1t may not be
us fellows in the postoffice against
whom they hold a grudge, but we are
the ones that usually get the benefit
of those pins"

Lime Salts and Health.

The Berliner Klinische Wochen
schrift, in an article on the influence
of lime salts on the constitution and
health, speaks of some physicians
who are coming more and more to
believe that the use of calcium (lime)
in various forms is the keystone OF
individual hygiene. Reinhardt, a
German physician, quoted, says
"Neurasthenic, overworked' and physi-
cally depressed persons are so rapid
ly healed by the chloride of calcium
solution that they cannot show suffi-
cient gratitude. They feel as If new
ly born, full of zest of life, stronger
and more enduring than ever and
twenty years younger" 1t is not i'm
probable that there is here an over
measure of enthusiasm. Many of
the oSder physicians will remember
Doctor Brown-Sequard and the won
derful things that were TO be done
by his discovery in making old fell
lows young again. The melancholy
jacques observed that from hour to
hour we ripe and ripe and then from
hour to hour we rot and rot"-the
decay of the natural forces of age.
This is as true today as it was in
"As You Like II" in the forest OF
Arden.

EVEN FLOWERS MUST LABOR
Nature Demands It's Toll From Every
Living Thing, and Accepts
No Excuses.

However fine and dainty a flower
may look, II Is pressed TO do a great
service and its colors and forms are
all suited to its work II must bring
forth the fruit, or the continuity OF
plant life will be broken and the
earth will be turned into a desert ere
long.
The color and the smell Of the flow
er are all for some purpose, therefore
no sooner Is it fortified by the bee,
no sooner does the time Of its fruition
arrive, than It sheds its exquisite pet.
ais and a cruel economy compels II
to give up its sweetest perfume. 1t
has no time TO haunt it's fnery, for it
is busy beyond measure.
Viewed from without, necessity
seems to be the only factor in Ma
ture, for which everything works and
moves. There the bud develops into
the flower, the flower into the fruit,
the fruit into the seed, the seed into a
new plant again, and so forth, the
chain of activity running on unbroken.
Should there crop up any disturbance
or impeachment no excuse would be &C.
cepted and the unfortunate thing so
choked in its movement would at
once be labeled as rejected, and be
bound to die and disappear post haste.
In the great Office Of Nature there
are innumerable departments with
endless work going on, and the fine
flower that you behold there, gaudily
attired and scented like a dandy, is
by no means what it appears to be,
but rather is like a laborer toiling in
the sun and shower, who has to sub
NIT clear account of his work, and
has no breathing space to enjoy him.

How TO Wed.

Why should not the church which
solemnizes marriage go behind the
ceremony, encouraging young people
to wed and giving them needed in
struction concerning marriage life
Just this the New York diocese Of the
Protestant Episcopal church proposes
to do. In the discussion of the mar
rage problem 1t was unanimously
agreed that health certificates should
be required for marriage. The much
greater problem of how the church
is to bring young people together with
marriage as the aim and how to make
the married state happy and perma-
nent has been turned over to the So
cial service commission to work out

AManners Can Be Acquired.

An English critic says that the ath.
letic girl has no manners and has
other faults. But after the brilliant
showing of little Baltimore girl late
ly in rescuing several children single
handed from burning house, a res
cue made possible by her practice at
athletic exercises. the lack of polish
more or less can easily be forgiven.
Manners can always be acquired, but
it demands very quick action and abil-
ity to save lives. The mistake of such
critics is to lay the blame on athletics
when that blame is due to entirely diff
ferent causes. The old idea that gen
tleness went with weakness and wom-
anliness with timidity is now exploded

OLD QUESTION TO THE FRONT


A Partisan woman ran up a bill IN
one year amounting to $3.50 Tor
dresses and furs. Her husband was
sued. He stated that his fat cost him
$500 a year, therefore credit to his
wife for over $4,000 was unreason-
able. The court decided that mar
ried woman cannot spend in dress
more than the amount of the rent
paid for the joint home OF husband
and wife without laying herself open
to a charge of extravaganza, and the
court reduced the bill to $500 (There
is a saying that the rent should not
exceed one-fourth of the mooney
The scene now opens in the court
Of chancery, Jersey City. Vice Chan
cellor Garrison stated there that the
utmost extent to which a man could
be asked to go in supplying his wife
with outer clothing was as follows:
Suits, $40; coat, SIS; pair of shoes,
81; one pair of corsets, ST." ut is
common, the court knows, for women
70 spend SIS or 500 for a suit with
which to go to bridge parties and
cause their sisters to turn green with
envy. But it is no part of husbands
duty to provide means of causing 9TH
er women unhappiness.
II have seen women in SIS coats
which looked fine on them There
isn't a married man In the world who
doesn't know that for 81 corsets can
be bought which will set off a wom-
ans figure most engagingly." The
report of that case includes the state
ment that Vice Chancellor GarrisoD's
wife is "one of the handsomest and
best dressed women of all Hudson
country"

WELCOME COMING OF LOCUST
Sudanese Consider Insects, Elsewhere
Regarded as Pests, as Most
Palatable Food.

The latest advices from Khartum.
in the Sudan, state that the usual
bitches have been dug in all direc-
tions in anticipation of the summer
rains, which, however, have as yet
not put in an appearance. In the
meantime these bitches are having
their uses, for a plague of locusts
has set in. Immense swarms have
for days been passing over the city.
Locusts of course do a vast amount
of damage to the fields. They null
tiply most rapidly and wherever they
settle they devour every vestige of
green and leave the land bare. The
Sudanese are waging a vigorous cam
paign against them and their zeal is
whetted by the fact that locusts con-
stitute for them a very palatable dish.
These insects are usually caught by
the Cyprus system" which consists
in digging trenches and erecting on
their farther side tin screens against
which they dash and kill themselves,
eventually falling into the trenches.
It is not thought that this invasion
will reach Egypt. The last time that
country was visited by locusts was
in 1904, when no fewer than 1,000,-
100000 egg masses were destroyed.
The work was carried out by over
100000 men and cost the government
close on $4,000, which was in all
conscience a cheap radiance of the
plague seeing that 1t might quite cas-
lily have ruined the entire cotton crop,
not to mention crops Of other sum
mer products.
