Debt is the one thing which goes con-
trary to the laws Of nature, because
you can contract and expand 1t at the
same time. Nothing exceeds like debt
Every one is always in debt to some
one else. Every debtor is a creditor,
every creditor is a debtor. There be-
ing no clearing house of humanity the
thing goes ON from day to day, getting
more complicated. Everybody starts
by owing the government his part of
the interest on the national debt AS
this is increasing all the time, the ia
tai habit some people have Of putting
off the day of their birth counts against
them. Debt is poor sleeping compan-
ion. He won't stay hitched. If you
put him off in a room by himself and
draw down the blinds he always breaks
loose and interrupts you just when you
are beginning to enjoy yourself. If
you fail to pay his board and lodging
he grows larger and eats more. And
what witless companion he is!-Life.

Mans Fear of Iiuhtninu

1t is hopeless to try to quiet human
fears Of the thunderstorm by statistics
showing that lightning kills far fewer
persons than measles or motorcars.
Lichtenberg. the eighteenth century
physicist. who was a satrist as well
as specialist on electricity, wrote in
vain his article on "Fear of Light
ming" At that moment there was
dysentery in Gottingen, and six per-
sons were said to have died-"more
than twice as many in a few days as
lightning has killed in our town In
more than half century, and yet the
public seem remarkably easy on the
subject" How different 1t would be-
Lichtenberg reflected, IF the dysentery
rose above the horizon in the form of
big black cloud. changing day into
twilight and whenever 1t selected a
victim exploded with a violent thun-
derclap. "-London Chronicle.

A Red Spider Gone Wrong.

The chigger is really an embryo that
never got out Of the chrysalis stage
He started out to be a red spider and
stopped at becoming pest. His papa
and mamma are red spiders, about the
size of pinhead and bright red. They
inhabit old stumps and logs in the
woods and feed ON vegetable diet. But
their offspring are divided into two
classes-the bloodthirsty and the non
bloodthirsty. The nonbloodthirsty, like
a well behaved child, heeds mothers
advice and dimes on grass and leaves
and old woods. He grows up to a red
spider. But the bloodthirsty little
cuss hunts up quadruped or biped
when he feels hungry and burrows
He has no control over his appetite,
says the entomologist, and gorges
himself. Ergo. he dies. He is the
chigger. He Is so small that he can
scarcely be seen by the naked eye
OF course he doesn't rear a family, in
consequence. But his nonbloodthirsty
brothers and sisters will reach years
of maturity and acquire offspring
And among their children will be CHG
gers. So the race is kept up.-Kansas

The first modern steel rails of the
type which made high speed railway
operation possible were designed by
Plimmon Henry Dudley, who was born
at Freedom, O., in 1S43. He became a
civil and metallurgical engineer, and
after four years as chief engineer of
the city of Akron, o., he turned his at
tention to railroading and transporta-
ton problems. His first invention,
the dynagraph, was made In 1874. He
perfected the track indicator in 1890
and three years later designed the first
five inch steel rail used in America.
In 1892 he introduced the first six inch
100 pound rails. Another Of his in
ventions which made the famous
filters" of today possible was the
stremmatograph, an instrument for OBJ
tanning and registering strains in rails
under moving trains.

Grades of Lemons,

There are good many interesting
points about lemons. There are sew
eral qualities that combine to make
prime or fancy brand of lemons. A
first class lemon must be free from
specks, have a smooth skin Of pale
yellow color and be very hard. Take
magnlfying glass and you will see
that the little black specks on the lem
on that look like seeds are really para
sites They are called lemon lice, and
II curious fact is that as soon as the
lemon is cut from the tree these para
sites die Immediately.
The best fruit comes from q little
place near Naples, Italy, called Maiori.
The next in grade comes from Sor-
rento Those from Messina and Paler-
mo are about the Same quality and
rank next. and those from Catania are
Inferior. The Maori lemons are very
carefully cultivated. They are on the
trees even while the snow Is still on
the ground, but are kept covered with
mating TO protect them, not only from
the cold. but from the scorching rays
OF the sun. They are nearly white
when picked, very graceful and regu-
lar in shape and are exceedingly
smooth and hard.-Spatula.
