Concerning Stamps

The best way Is to moisten the en-
velope and not the stamp.
When stamps stick together do not
soak them apart, but lay them on a
smooth surface with a thin paper
over them and pass hot iron quick
ly over them.
This separates without destroying
the gum.

To settle dispute, will you kindly
let me know if there is natural
flower, black daisy, with yellow CEN

bright yellow petals and dark

hats. Burbank might have evolved
one, but you could hardly call such
a flower natural.

If thin pieces of mutton, either
raw or cooked, are dipped in flour,
then in egg, and then in crumbs
and fried in deep fat, they lose less
moisture than IL broiled or pam

suitable for rib chops, thin loin chops,
or small pieces cut from rarer cooked
meat Thick chops would hardly be

"ciViLLY DEAD"

The ruling of Brooklyn justice
 that a man serving an indeterminate term in prison is "civilly dead" opens an interesting field for speculation
 It is to be presumed that "civilly dead" means the forfeiture of the civ il rights of citizenship, but as the rul- ing this case had to do with the right of the wife of a convict to remarry without obtaining divorce, and as foreigners who have not the rights of citizenship may marry, the ques- tion is raised as to the scope of "civ- il." Distinction certainly must be drawn between "civilly dead" and "le- gally dead" for the latter would in volve the payment of life insurance, inheritance of property and other contingencies not contemplated by any law bearing on punishment of crime.
 Accepting "civilly dead" however, as applying to this case, in which it was held that the woman could re- wed without divorce, what would be the status of the persons involved if full pardon should be granted? All civil rights would be restored to the convict and he would be "civilly," as well as actually, as much alive he had ever been. What, then, would be the relationship between the man and his former wife? There would be no divorce on record, no decree, no writ ten order absolving the union. Would she be bigamist? Or would the ab- surd contention hold that she had been freed by the civil" death of a husband who later came to life again, and, having once died" he had no further claim upon her, any more than would be true if the departed spouse of a widow had actually come back from the grave?
 Throughout the country conviction of crime is made ample grounds for divorce. It would seem that the wo- man in the Brooklyn case might far better have gone through the formal ity of having a decEee entered on these grounds than :tothus hastily re marry, with "civilly dead" husband able. to reappear in the flesh, and with all his rights, at the pl asure of the states eXecutive.-Ex.

Swordsmen of the Sea.

The swordsmen of the sea are the sawfislles. speartishes. sailtishes, sword. fishes and the narwhal. with its spiral ly twisted straight tusks. Sawtishes fnhabit the warmer sens. while the narwIlal is d creature of the Arctic. The tusk of the marwhal is hollow nearly to the point and is spirally grooved. It uses it's tmsk as a weapon of defense and to plunge through the ice to breathe. the uarwhai being a cetacean. Sometimes when q boat has been caught in the ice great dam age has been inflicted by the inqnisi- tiveneSs or bundering of this great creature. that sometimes reaches length of fifteen feet. with tIsk of from six to ten feet in length As Il rule. however. the narwhaI uses its tlsk for the purpose of killing fish for food. In the castle of Rosenberg the kings of Denmark have long possessed a magnificent throne made of tusks of this cetucean. These tusks are harder and whiter than ivory.

It is an Easier Task the Younger 1t Is
 Taken In Hand.
 The time to learn language Is when you are young, the younger tile bet ter We learn our own language as children. The older we grow the hard CT it is. because it means not merely learning by heart great many words, not merely training the palate and tongue to produce different sounds, but adopting new attitude of mind.
 Nothing definite has been discovered as tQ the localization of faculties in the brain. therefore nothing certain is known. but it has always seemed to me and to others whom I have con suited that when you learn new Ian guage you are exercising and develop ing new piece of brain.
 When you know several languages and change from one to another you seem definitely to change the piece of brain which actuates your tongue. You switch off one center and switch on to another
 You will always notice in yourself and others that there is definite pause when the change of language is made. Now it becomes every year more difficult to awaken an unused part of the brain and bring it into ac- tive use. and to begin at twenty.three is late.-Atlantjc.

Tobacco.
(By George Fitch.)

Tobacco is a weed which is raised at great care and expense in the night-riding portions of the United States and elsewhere, and is totally consumed by fire later on, there be- ing no insurance.
 | In fact, three-quarters of the arson in the world is committed upon to- | bacco. Every day a million dollars of ! tobacco goes up in smoke, and yet no effort is made to treat it with asbestos or to make it fireproof in any partic- ular. Many substitutes for tobacco are often used, such as rope, cab bage, excelsior, tar paper, jute bag ging and twine, but unfortunately the substitutes burn as readily as the to- bacco.
 : In fact, this is even more unfortun- ate than the infiammability of tobac- co itself.
 : Tobacco is grown in the warm sun shine and consists of large punches of flat, broad leaves which absorb the said sunshine and convert it into nic- otine, a deadly poison which is said to be able to kill man at forty paces if it cared to. When the tobacco is ripe it is chopped off and dried, in bundles, after which it is made into cigars. torches, fumigators. plug cut cigarettes, snuff and other contagious articles.
 Tobacco was first used by the h. dians and discovered by Sir Walter Raleigh, who made cigars out of it and used them to divert his mind from his seasickness on his way back to England. When Sir Walter lighted up his first cigar in England and be- gan blowing double rings of dense smoke through his mouth and nose and ears his servant threw a pail of water over him and called out the fire department. This method of breaking the cigar habit is not in vogue to- day.
 Tobacco can be smoked, chewed, in- haled or eaten with equally distress ing effects upon those who do not use it. Most boys begin the use of to- bacco at the age of ten and continue until their fathers discover the fact after which they discontinue the cus- tom until they are too large to thrash. Tobacco readily becomes a habit and fastens talons of steel up- on it's victims, who will sometimes sell their vote or their everlasting friendship for good cigar.
 There are many kinds of tobacco. Some kinds will remove the lining of the throat neatly in a few minutes, while other kinds. cost a kings ran som and smoke like rarifled velvet. Some tobacco when smoked, will at tract the attention of the health de partment four blocks away. while oth- CT kinds when made into cigars sell for .$1 apiece. and make kings content. ed with their jobs.
 The United States could save a million dollars & day by refrainine from tobacco. This would be glorious If we could be convinced that the mil. lion would not be spent for gasoline or cabaret dinners.
