SLEEPING IN CHURCH.
II Used to Be Rudely Interrupted In
OIden Times In Enuland.

One John Rudge Is on record as hay-
ing bequeathed TO the parish of Try
sul. in Shropshire. England. 20 shil-
Iings year to be paid to n poor man.
employed to 20 about church in sum-
mer to keep people awake.
At another English church. that OF
Acton. In Cheshire. 1t was the practice
during the middle Of the last century
for one of the churchwardens to pro-
coed through the church during service
with a huge wand In his hand where
with II any one Of the congregation
were observed to be asleep he was In
stantly awakened by tap on the head.
In Warwickshire a similar custom
prevailed A warden bearing a stout
wand shaped like a hay fork at the end
stepped stealthily up and down the
nave and the aisles, and whenever he
saw an individual asleep he touched
him so effectively that the nap was
broken. this being sometimes accom-
plished by the application of the fork
to the nape of the neck.
A more playful method obtained in
another church. The beadle went about
during service carrying long staff, to
one end of which was attached fox's
brush and to the other knob. With
the former he gently tiekled the faces
of the women sleepers, while with the
knob he bestowed sharp rap on the
heads of male Observation-Disclosures.

Order Of the Dragon.

There is at least one order OF Ameri.
can officers that congress has recog
nized to the extent of permitting the
members to wear the badge with their
uniform on proper occasions. This Is
the Order of the Dragon. established
by commissioned officers of the army
II Picking In 1900. The members are
commissioned officers of the American
army and navy who served In China
during the Boxer troubles. and there
are honorary members from other ar
mics and navies which took part In the
campaign OF the allies. The society Is
similar In some ways to the Order OF
the Cincinnati. founded by French and
American officers at the close of the
American Revolution, the object OF the
society being to perpetuate friendships
formed during the war.-New York Sun

DISMAL ENGLISHMEN.
Despair Over the State of the Country
Becoming Chronic.

Despair Over the State of the Country
Becoming Chronic.
DIR. Forbes Ross, a well known Lon
don physician, says that England Is
drifting toward the day when the
average Englishmans face will be
that of the typical criminal" He be-
lieves, says correspondent of the
New York sun. that "the better classes
OF England cannot keep pace with the
fearful stress of taxation and other
burdens imposed upon them and are
therefore being wiped out In other
words. modern legislation Is
replacing the better classes by mix
ture OF sheep and Wild beasts ana
the nation is being propagated by
those retaining prlmordlal qualities and
the primitive instinct and the average
Englishman at this rate will soon have
depraved gorilla countenance."
Despair over the state OF the coun-
try is almost national characteristic
OF the English. They are never 80
happy as when they are being gloomy
about themselves. Any copy OF any
English paper will show that the Eng
fish people are going to the demnition
bowwows. The English addiction to
patent medicines Is another evidence
Of this general tendency to low spirits.
other nations see nothing In particu-
lar the matter with the English. They
seem TO outsiders to be doing fairly
we'll as nations go. What they really
need Is a course OF mental science and
practice In the cheerful point OF view.

Representative Flynn of Dorset pro-
poses that all fire proof buildings
erected should be exempt from taxa
ton for a period of five years after
construction. Mr.. Flynn is a most
valuable member of the house and
has proposed a good many measures
of merit We doubt, however the
wisdom of enacting this particular
measure 1t is in the hands of every
municipality to determine the char
acter of structures that may be erect
ed. There seems to be sufficient law
on the subject now. AS far as eXemp-
lions from taxation are concerned.
there is much danger of carrying this
policy too far. 1t has been carried too
far in Rutland, and, presumably. in
many other towns in Vermont There
are buildings in this city today that
contribute no public revenue and yet
which are source of revenue to the
associations that own them.-Rutland
Evening News.
The exemption of fire proof build
ings from taxation would not make a
large hole in the public revenue and
it might lead to more serious con-
sideration of the enormous waste that
IS continually going on through the
construction and destruction of wood
en- buildings. We are far too much
Inclined to look at things from the
standpoint of the first cost in this
country, but the rapid consumption of
timber and the consequent increase
n price will eventually force us to
build permanent structures.

Properlv Boiled Meat.

To boil meat so as to retain the
juices and soluble salts and yet cook II
sufficiently II should be plunged int
boiling water and boiled rapidly for
about ten minutes. After this fast
cooking the kettle must be pushed over
to the back Of the fire. where its con
tents will simmer gently. This tends
to coagulate the outer rind Of the
NEAT SO that the juices cannot escape
II .leat is treated In this manner the
inside will be found juicy and tender
but II the meat Is allowed to boil II
will be found hard and chippy, the
goodness having all boiled out OF It.

THE CRAVING FOR FOOD.
Man Eats Because He's Hungry. Not
For Scientific Reasons.


For Scientific Reasons.
In an article ia the Popular Science
Monthly Professor W. b. Cannon of
the Harvard Medical school writes:
why do we eat?' This question, pre-
sented to a group Of educated people.
Is likely to bring forth the answer, We
eat to compensate for body waste or
to supply the body with fuel for its Ia
bors.' Although the body is In fact
losing weight continuously and draw
ing continuously on its store of energy
and although the body must periodi-
cally be supplied with fresh material
and energy In order to keep more or
less even balance between the income
and the outgo. this maintenance OF
weight and strength is not the motive
for taking food.
primitive man and the lower animals
may be regarded as quite unacquainted
with notions of the equilibrium Of mat
ter and energy in the body, and yet
they take food and have an efficient ex-
lstence in spite Of this ignorance. In
nature generally important processes,
such as the preservation Of the indi-
vidual and the continuance Of the race.
are not left TO be determined by intel
lectual considerations. but are provided
for in automatic devices. Natural de
sires and impulses arise in conscious
ness, driving MS to action, and only by
analysis do we learn their origin or di
vine their significance. Thus our pri-
mary reasons for eating are to be found
not in convictions about metabolism.
but in the experiences OF appetite and
hunger"

FlREPR0oF BUILDINGS.
They Must Be Analysed as Such Apart
From Their Contents.


Many people think that the term
"ireproof' Is misnOmer. that there
Is no such thing ms tireproof build
ing and that the use of the term gives
one too great sense of security.
This attitude has been brought about
largely by the destruction or serious
damages OF certain buildings that were
supposed TO have been freproof and by
the fact that many persons think be-
cause building Is iireproof it should
In some occult fashion prevent the con
tents from burning
II is matter of record that where
buildings called iireproof have been
destroyed they have been found to
have violated some fundamental prin-
ciple ~ the really fireproof building.
A tireproof building must be consid-
cred apart from its contents. for the
structure itself can IN no way pre-
vent the burning of -combusible ma
terial within It except the spread OF
fire. II is true that as yet we have
not attained the absolutely fireproof
building. since even the best fireproof-
ing material we have today Is some
what Manageable by fires. but we can
and do erect structures that are prac-
tically fireprOof.
The term "fireproof' In building con-
struction means capability of with
standing fire without being materially
damaged A fireproof building, there
fore. may be defined as one that IL
capable OF having its contents cremat-
ed without material impairment struc-
turally. That Is. all burnable material
may be destroyed. but the structure It
self will remain intact. requiring only
the replacement OF some OF the fire
proofing and the interior finish to make
lie again ready for occupancy.-F. +.
