operation in New Orleans. which bene-
flied me for two years. When the same
pain came back one day l was so sick

chased two more bottles. l am now on

The Moth and the Candle.

1t is not because the moth is light
hearted. needless and utterly frivolous,
as we have always been told, that it
plunges headlong into the flame, but
because of the way that its body is
constructed, says Kaempffert, the well
known student of physical science.
There are two symmetrical points, eH-
actly alike chemically, on the moths
body-namely, its eyes. If the rays Of
light modify the chemical conditions
of one side more than the other then
the moths power of movement is af-
fected. There is a stronger muscular
tension on one side than on the other
and the moth is forced to move toward
the source of light. If, however one
of the eyes is removed the chemical
symmetery is destroyed and instead
of plunging into the flame it moves
about in a circle. There are other ami
mails and insects besides the moth
which are hopelessly in the grip Of
light. If a snail is placed between a
white wall and black wall the I'M
equal lighting forces it to crawl in a
circle.-Chicago Tribune.

READERS ARE NOT CRITICAL
Disjointed Publication of a Serial by
AnatoIe France Didn't Arouse
Many Protests.

M. Anatole France says that he
finds the public by no means critical
OF form in novels: "Soon after Sur
la Pierre Blanche began to appear
in serial form l went on a long holi-
day and before leaving Paris | split
my manuscript into number Of
portions each exactly the right
length for daily feuilleton. bore
these to the newspaper office and saw
them carefully arranged in separate
plgeonholes. Unfortunately the
printer who had to extract the in
stallments day by day took them in
vertical instead of horizontal order
so that the feuilletons appeared
without any suggestion of sequence.
Apparently, incoherent writing
shocks few people nowadays, for only
a small proportion of my readers
protested against this disjointed
form Of publication"

the health authorities rarely deem 1t
necessary to formulate rules for the
conduct of those who resort to them
for health or pleasure. The most

interest. How much more facile in
the dissemination of disease germs the
dust of public parks is appeared to
have escaped the park authorities.
This fact has been brought to public
attention in Paris by petition to its
municipal council, signed by numerous
well known physicians and sanitari-
ans and printed in the Presse Medi-
Gale, calling attention to the fact that
splitting is very common along the
paths and roads of the public parks
and squares. 1t was pointed out that
infection by the hands and shoes Of
little children is thus facilitated, and
the council is urged to issue regula-
tons to forbid splitting under severe
penalty of the law. This danger is
very real, indeed, far more menacing
than that from the less agitated air of
the street car. While in the cars in

DOING AN UNWlSE PRACTICE
Proper Time to Rise Is When Sleep
Ends, but 1t Is Not
Easy.

The proper time to Fise-if we
could only make up our minds to it
lis when sleep properly ends. Doz-
ing is not admissible from any rea-
sonable or health point of view.
The brain falls into the state we
call sleep, and the other organs of
the body follow it. True sleep is
the aggregate of sleeps. In other
words, sleep, which must be natural
function, is a state which consists in
the sleeping or rest of all the several
parts of the organism.
Sometimes one, and at other times
another part of the body as whole
may be fatigued, and SO the last to
awake, or the most exhausted and
therefore the most difficult to arouse.

LANDSCAPE BEAUTY AN ASSET
to the Beauty or Sordidness of
His Surroundings.

Beauty is not quite as necessary as
bread, but it has it's place in the
scheme of human life. A man need
not be Indifferent to the surroundings
because he has to grow potatoes, nor
be blind to the esthetic value of a
tree because it yields him a bag of wal
nuts or crate of cherries. His euca-
lypus trees will pay for their board
in firewood and honey, but meantime
they are a delight to the eye and an
addition to the landscape.
Emerson puts it in homely verse:
One harvest from your field
HomeWard brought your oxen strong;
Another crop your acres yield,
Which l gather in song.
And it may be that a wise estimate of
life would show that this unseen har-
vest is as valuable - the one we haul
Into the barn, or sell in the market
place. 1t does not count on the ledger,
but does in the growth of life We
may be so related to the fields we
cultivate as to get out of them some
thing for the character as well as the
purse.
