TOO ELABORATE "A SYSTEM
Mr.. spiegelhausen's Idea Of Postal
cerds. however, Worked Very
Well for q Time.

Mr.. SpiegeIhausen found IL hard 20
remember at home certain things ha
had thought of in business hours. and
conversely matters that occurred to
him at night would escape his mind
before he reached the ofice next
morning. After trying various un
successful methods of memor 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 scrawied
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 min6~began to anticipate and
work more and more in advance, 30
that on a Monday night he would
mail a card from home saying: "Be
sure to send card from Office tomor-
row to remind yourself of dinner en-
gagement Tuesday" Then he got to

ReportoriaI Errors.

An amusing error was perpetrated
by the reporter who made Lord Car
narvon say that ''In these days clergy
men are expected to have the wis
dom and learning Of a journeyman
tailor" What he had said was Of
course a Jeremy Taylor" Another
reporter referred to John Bright as
"the gamecock," instead of 'the Cana
liel of Birmingham" And yet an
other transcribed his notes Of Mr..
Chamberlain's remark, "They bring up
their puny popguns and shatter me
with abuse SIS .They bring out their
penny pcngu2s and spatter me with
peaz." '1he reople OF Edinburgh were

Blackie should have referred to the
greasy atmosphere of their town

Muscles and Brain.

Experiments conducted by Mosso of
Turin indicate that physical educa.
ton and gymnastics serve not only
for the development of the muscles,
but for that of the brain as well. 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 a tendency to
rest every ten seconds. 1t 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
telIigent, other things being equal, it
is.-Harper's Weekly.

Tea Was Not Popular In 1883.

"A description of a model country
rector's household in an issue of the
London World for 1853 shows that
tea-drinking was then far from gen.
eral: His only article of luxury is
tea, but the doctor says he would
forbid that, If his wife could forget
her London education. However, they
seldom offer it but to the best COM
pany, and less than a pound will last
them a twelvemonth."
A few years prior to this the Fe-
male Spectator declared that the tea
table costs more to support than
would maintain two children at
nurse; it is the utter destruction Of
all economy, the bane of good house
wifery, and the source Of idleness."

from 1870 to the Present Time" The
present time" referred to in this IL
tie was only the yea 1735, 30 that
the whole period covered by these
thrilling and numerous criminal lives
was only 15 years. 1t must have
been a great time for criminals, for
between the covers Of the book are
the stories of Jack Sheppard, Kennedy

fin, Edward ~Burnsworth, William Bar
wick and several other quite cele-
brated criminals. Cheer upi Those
were worse times than ours for Grim
inaIity-and those were the days, too,
when men and women yer hanged
for burglary, counterfeiting, sheep
stealing, and v poaching and snug
CLING.
An odd thing about that time, too,
was that hundreds of books we're print
ed which contained full and harrow
ing details of murder and robbery,
and that almost everybody, including
clergymen and delicate ladies, read
these books eagerly as fast as they
came out. The oldest public libraries
in New England contain, in the book
collections which were spread before
the youth Of the community. many
such criminal lives.-New York Mail.

altering the air by removing dust and
germs, but in cold weather for the pur-
pose of moistening and warming the
air before It enters the deeper air pas
sages. The total surface of the nasal
cavity has been estimated to be on an
average of about 10 square inches. The
mouth surface has an rea of less than

noted that runners who breathe
through the nose have much greater
endurance than those who breathe
