GREAT STRENGTH OF BEETLES

If you were as strong, proportion
ately, as the beetle, and were a man
weighing 200 pounds, you would be
able to lift with ease 10000 pounds.
A beetle can lift 200 times its own
weight.
Or, if you could jump about with
the same ease as the grasshopper, you
could spring over the tallest building
without much effort.
Or, again, if you wanted to be mere
ly as strong as the bee, you would
have to drag after you load weigh
ing 1000 pounds.
1t seems, apparently, from such OBJ
servations made by naturalists, that
the greater in size. the animal the
greater is the muscular energy need
ed to move it about, and that there
is not much left for outside force.

ERUPTION ON cHILD's BODY

r. F. D. No. 2, Jackson, Mo.-"Our
daughter who is ten months old was
suffering from an eruption all over
the body. In the beginning they were
small red spots and afterwards turned
to bloody sores. We tried all sorts
of ointments but they did not procure
any relief for our child. She cried
almost day and night and we scarcely
could touch her, because she was COW

one week she was totally we'll"

How Sunday Reaches the Frontier.

How Sunday Reaches the Frontier.
High principle and humor have ever
made an irresistible combination.
Early merchants on the American
frontier conspicuously failed in the OBJ
servance of Sunday; therefore, when
young New Jersey trader, who had
settled in Louisville, Kentucky, closed
his store on the first Sunday after it
was opened, there was much ado in
the town.
Other establishments kept open;
had he not noticed it? he was asked.
Yes, he knew it. Why did he close?
He was the first to do so; he must
know that, also.
Why" said facetious merchant,
Sunday hasn't yet crossed the noun
tains."
Yes, it has," declared the newcom-
er, pleasantly. II brought it with mel"
That simple and ready reply proved
more effective than any amount of ar
gument, and although he was the first
to observe the day in town, he soon
had many followers in Sunday-closing.
Youths Companion.

R. D. Carr of Cleburne, Tex, boasts
of having the longest beard in the
world. It is seven feet in length, and
when he stands on a footstool it
touches the floor. Mr.. Carr is very
proud Of his beard and has refused
offers to travel with shows that would
have made him a fortune. He pre-
fers to remain with his children on
his farm.
Mr. Carr is sixty-nine years old,
Methodist and a Democrat. He hates
all sham and does not like to be joked
regarding his beard, which start
ed growing eleven years ago,
when Mr.. Carr was i'll. He carries it
tucked into his vest and wrapped
around his body and exhibits it only
on state occasions.

SOME WONDERFUL ESCAPES

An acrobat, who performs on trap
exc attached to balloon, recently fell
a distance of 1900 feet into the lake
of Zurich, just missing death by few
yards, for if he had not jumped from
his seat when he did he would have
been dashed to pieces on the rocky
shore of the lake. He escaped I'M
hurt.
Several instances of people falling
from incredible heights and surviving
to tell the tale can be quoted. AT
Brighton, England, an actor, known as
Lieutenant Daring, who was playing
the part of a naval officer who is at
tackled by brigands in a moving pic
ture play, and who was supposed to
slip over the cliff-in reality, however,
to stand on plank which had been
placed below the edge to make the
illusion complete-missed his footing
and fell ninety feet into the sea, es-
Gaping with a sprained wrist.
An even more miraculous escape
after a fall over a cliff was that of a
seven-year-old child who had been
gathering flowers on Culver cliff, near
Sandown, Isle of Wight, who slipped
and fell 200 feet. She was only
slightly injured, bottle which she
carried being unbroken.
Often the merest accidents prevents.
death. A Cardiff laborer some time
ago fell from a scaffolding about fifty
feet high, but as he fell his foot
caught in the scaffolding and he hung
head downwards until rescued. SINH
larly, woman who fell out of win
dow backwards at Holborn lately was
saved from instant death by her cloth
ing having caught in the window

VAN WORKS MAKES
MONTHLY REPORT

Humane Officer Van Voris
does not confine his attention to
horses, cats, dogs and birds, but
has time to straighten out the
difficulties of the human animal
as well sometimes. His monthly
report shows he reunited five
families in December which were
about to be broken up.
