THE LAST STRAW.

Few food cranks have carried their
yearning after the simple life to such
an extreme length as did one Roger
Crab. who, in spite of his strange fare,
saw fair part of the seventeenth GEN.
fury. Up to his twentieth year he was
normalminded, then he turned yege-
tartan, and framed his apology:
Butchers are excluded from juries,
but the receiver Is worse than the
thief, SO the buyer is worse than the
butcher" From the banning of meat
he turned his attention to butter and
cheese, and thought that he could live
without them. He went even further,
and banned all things edible. till at
length he achieved the fine art of feed
ing upon dock leaves. grass and water,
at a gross cost Of about penny a
week.

DEATH LIST OF SOME WARS.

The total number of British killed
in action in the South African war
was 5,744; 22,S29 were wounded, and
1916 died Of wounds or disease. The
number of Beers killed or MORALLY
wounded was about 3,700; about 49,
600 prisoners of war were taken, 700
of whom died. The United States loss
In the war with Spain was 1886 men
killed, 1875 mortally wounded, SPIT
died of disease. The Spanish loss
was 10000, the majority dying from
disease. According TO the report of
the provost marshal general the cas-
ualties of the Union army from the
beginning of the American Civil war
to August, 1865, were as follows: Kill
ed, 67,976; died of wounds, 25,947; dis
ease, 1S3,464; disabled, 224,3O6. Con-
federate losses were: Killed: 51,525;
wounded, 227S71. In the Union navy
there were 4,030 killed and wounded
in action, 1852 died of disease, and
2,070 died from other causes. Japan,
according to one computation, is said
to have lost 1877 400 in killed, wounded
and captured in the Russo-Japanese
war, while Russia's losses we're COM
puted to be 3S8,500 men.

TYPEWRITER VS.. COAL HEAVIER.

The girl who is operating a type
writer doesn't appear to be doing very
heavy physical labor, as compared
with the brawny individual In the
stokehold of an Atlantic liner who is
shoveling coal into hungry furnace,
but this Is one of the many instances
In which superficial appearances are
receptive, as comparison Of the
force expended by the two will show.
The stoker may be credited with
handling one ton of coal per hour, or
eight tons per day, plus the weight of
his shovel. Adding the shovel to his
1880 pounds of coal, he expends
about 10000 pounds of energy. For
each key struck on the typewriter
there is an expenditure of something
over three ounces of energy, or, say,
one pound to the average word. A
fair operator will average 1900 words
an hour, or in eight hours $4,000
words-12,000 pounds of energy. To
throw over the carriage for each new
line requires on an average three
pounds of force. Twelve thousand
words will make 1000 lines, so there
are 5000 pounds of energy to be add
ed to the $4,000, making $4,000 pounds
of energy expended-which compares
pretty we'll with the stoker's 100000
all things considered. A really fast
operator would push the expenditure
of energy in to $4,000 pounds or more.

Advertising In China.

Tradesmen in China have quite as

world. In China the biscuits bear

quently show on their backs a big red
stamp bearing the name of the seller.
Chinese shops have large signboards
which show an odd mixture of the po-
etic and the commercial traits of the
people. Here are few examples:

Shop of Celestial Principles" "The
Nine Felicities Prolonged" Mutton

Virtues All Complete" Flowers Rise

The SPEED OF THOUGHT.

How fast do impulses travel along
the nerves? The speed has been duly
measured by the aid of the elaborate
apparatus with which the physiology
cal laboratory of today is supplied. In
man the rate has been set down at
about ia feet second.
This measurement has reference to
the rate at which messages of the
bodily telegraph system are sent from
nerve centers along motor nerves or
those destined to bring muscles into
play. But a second class of nerves
exists in the body called "sensory,"
whose duty It Is to convey messages
from the body to nerve centers. The
rate Of impulse in the sensory nerves
Is quicker than in the motor nerves
Investigators give varying rates, from
about 16S feet to 675 feet per second,
an average rate being 2S2 feet.
PSYCHOLOGISTS have made careful
calculations regarding what is called
our reaction time. Here we endeayor
to calculate the interval which elapses
between the impression made on our
organ of sense and the giving Of the
signal which registers the impression
as received by the brain and translat-
ed into terms Of consciousness. Diff
ferent results, due, no doubt, to the
varying nervous capacities Of the in
dividuals, have been obtained. In one
series the interval averaged 1887 of
a second and in another 1911.
Signaling to the eye by means of a
light demanded for its reception and
demonstration .1139 of a second. In
the case of sound the interval was
1850. An electric spark used to stim-
ulate the eye gave as reaction time
1877 OF second when the signal was
given by the lower jaw and $40 when
given by the foot.

A THIRSTY CITY.

Official statistics just published by
the municipality of Munich, Bavaria.
show that the city still holds the rec
ord for the per capita consumption Of
beer, the amount per head of the pop
ulaton last year being TOW gallons;
the average consumption per head Of
population in England is only 26 gal
Ions. The Munich breweries produced
last year S1.762,000 gallons of beer. Of
which 42,5o0,000 gallons were drunk
in the city, while the rest was ex-
ported to other parts Of Germany and
abroad. This home consumption rep
resented an increase oof 100000 gal
Ions ~ compared with 1910.

Got Back at the Judge.

A celebrated engineer, being exam
ined at a trial where both the judge
and counsel tried in vain to browbeat
him, made use in his evidence of the
expression, "the creative power of a
mechanic" on which the judge rather
tartly asked him what he meant by
1.-THE creative power of mechanic"
why, my lord" said the engineer, II

man to convert a goats tail into a

Movinu Pictures Popular.

In a recent number of the Daily
Consular Reports are collected memo
randa from cities and towns in yari-
GUS distant parts of the word showing
the universal quality of the popular
interest which the moving pictures
excite. England, japan, Turkey, Mex
leo, India, Australia and the islands
of the sea all have the same story to
tell; wherever the cinematograph
goes 1t finds an instant and sustained
welcome.

Good Qualities.

He alone is worthy of respect who
knows what is OF use to himself and
others, and who labors to control his
self-will. Each man has his own for
time in his hands; as the artist has a
piece of rude matter, which he is to
fashion to a certain shape. But the
art of living rightly is like all arts !;
the capacity alone is born with us;
1t must be learned, and practiced with
incessant care.

Saving the Babies.

American Association for the Study

The object of this society is to CO.
ordinate all the sanitary agencies for
the express purpose of reducing the
number of preventable deaths Of ba,

Novel Boudoir Clock,

Among curious clock novelties IL
the shadow boudoir clock. With it
there is no need of getting up to
strike light or turn on the bulb. All
that Is necessary is to touch a button
and the time is flashed on the wall,
after the same fashion that signs are
flashed on the sidewalk. When the
owner of the clock retires he turns a
night dial to the ceiling and when he
presses a bulb the electric light re-
fleets from the dial through the lens
and appears, giving the correct time
in shadow on the ceiling.

For certain equable. continuous
modes OF life, there is nothing more
than Judgment necessary. and we
