While the Fire Burns,

On cold night how comfortable 1t Is to sit in reverie before the leaping, fantastic flames of wood fire' One enters the chilly solitude of room and by the tiny magic wand Of . burning match-presto. change! one calls into existence the cheerful so- ciety of troop of genial spirits. They dance upon the wall like fairies in the moonlight on a midsummer eve; they are here there and every where; we are alone no longer.
 In the warmth and light of wood flre-cozy, snug and sheltered-let us not forget those who are outside in the whirling storm or pinched and blue in their narrow beds for lack of fuel
 We can enjoy the comforts that VIC have only when we have done our ut most to the end that others may enjoy them. too. "The best things any mor- tai hath are those that every mortal shares. s."-Philadelphia Ledger.

FROM DOCTRINE OF GALEN
Use of Term Man of Spirit" Etc, May De Traced Back to the Sec
 ond Century.

Few persons even stop to consider when they speak of a man of spirit hat they are unwittingly employing he language of the days of Galen," 'ays the Journal of the American Aedtcal association. Yet this Is evi- iently the survival of the old doctrine If spirits. We may believe that Galen lad a conception of the nerve trunks IS conductors of something called { spirits-to and from the brain and spinal cord.
 The natural spirits were that un- lefined property which gave to blood he capacity of nourishing the tissues )f the body The vital spirits were acquired in the heart, and when at last the blood with it's vital spirits vent to the brain and experienced 8 sort of refinement for the last time. he animal spirits were separated from 1t and carried to the body by the nerve trunks"
 Such was the idea of the vital func- tons in the second century Today. after 1900 years, we know that there are no Spirits" in our blood or nerves, but we still speak of being in high spirits" or Tow spirits" of being full Of animal spirits" Of spirited an swer" or spirited horse"

ALL DREAD HARMLESS MOUSE
instinctive Fear of Women Is We'll kr'wn, but Is Not at All
 Easy to Explain.

Once more there Is excuse for ask ing how much of sincerity there is in the fear of mice to which so many women give such vehement express sion. A night telephone operator over in Jersey saw one of the little creatures steal out on the floor of the room in which she was keeping her lonely vigil, and, though bis attack was not on her, but on the crumbs of her luncheon, she promptly tainted On recovery she rushed into the closet, where she was imprisoned till morn ing by the spring catch on the hastily slammed door
 Yet this young woman. like all oth CTS. knows that mice are perfectly harmless; that they never did hurt anybody and never will
 The wicked suggestion has been made that feminine outcries on the appearance of mice are a mere fash ion or habit, inveterate now. but origi- hating in nothing better than a desire to show an interesting sensitiveness and timidity and to give rescuing man chance to show his superiority. There must be something more to 1t than that, however, for not a few women, even when quite alone. as this one was, manifest almost convincing indications of this, perhaps not the less real because so unnecessary
 Apparently the fear is instinctive, but nothing in ancestral history ex- plains the instinct, since in the line of mothers running back through the troglodytes to merely anthropoid for bears, never one was devoured by a mouse and not more than half a dozen in all can have been bitten by one And instincts are not so easily made.

TOO QUICK WITH HIS ANSWER
Response of Court Witness Put Him Unnecessarily in a Somewhat Un-
 favorable Light

At session of county court h an outlying country, a village merchant was prosecuted for arson" It de- veloped that the busi 5 men of the town had retained special prosecutor" to assist in the case. Tho attorney for the defendant invariably asked each witness if he had ever con tributed anything toward the support of the special prosecutor" One old man was very jealous in his efforts to convict the defendant. The attor- ney started to ask him the regular contribution" question. but the wit ness interrupted him and gave his answer in the middle of the question, with the following result:
 @. Have you ever contributed any. thing toward the support
 "A. No, sir; never did-not . cent,,!"

INCUBATOR OF QUE.
sNV
Chinese Device Does the Work ot Matching, but Its Defects Arc
 Easy to Perceive.

Certain of the Chinese in the inte- rior districts adjacent to Annoy em- ploy unique method for matching both hens and ducks eggs. Tn this connection it may be of interest to note that some years ago a missionary living near Annoy suggested to the natives that the patent American in- cubator might be of great service to the local Chinese-only to learn of their own process, which is very eco nomical. Usually large percentage of the eggs produce live chicks
 The breeder first takes a quantity of unhusked rice and roasts it. cooling 1t down by flaming or by allowing the wind to blow through until it is luke warm. He then spreads three-inch layer of the rice in a wooden tub and places about 100 eggs thereon; anoth- CT layer of rice. this second and sub sequent layers being but two inches In thickness, Is spread over the eggs Each tub will have six layers of rice and five layers of eggs. so that there will be 300 eggs in each tub The rice should be heated once every 24 hours, the eggs being taken out at such times. When the eggs are again put in the rice the bottom layer Is placed on top and each of the other layers one row lower down, while the eggs previously in the center of tho tub are placed at the edge. The en- tire tub is covered with q cotton mat. tress. The chicks and ducklings arc produced in 20 to 30 days
 One of the great dificulties with this method Is the inability to tell just when the eggs will hatch. which of course renders the smotherng of the young very possible.

Too Many Lonely ereakfasts.

Lord Tennyson. late in life, said sadly to friend. 'I have taken break fast alone for 9 years" This was after his wife became a confirmed in- valid and his family was scattered.
 There are men who breakfast alone whose wives appear very vigorous at the bridge table or club meetings or the dance class, and who are, in fact, equal to almost any effort but appear ing in the morning before their hus- bands go 10 business or their children if there are any-go to school or to the park.
 An eligible bachelor said the other day, T used to dream of a pretty face across the coffee pot. but a dozen years in a smart apartment hotel have dispelled several illusions. To begin with.

To make this longing easy to satisfy, firm in Paris has just put on the market . clock that by pressing a button Is made to project picture of it's face in a ray of light upon the ceiling. This clock, which looks like a young can. non. stands upon a box containing three dry batteries. It's mechanism is in a metal tube, at one end of which Is an ordinary dial. The push-button can be placed under the pillow or upon a table beside the bed When one wants to see the time in tho night one presses the button; this lights the lamp. which projects upon the ceiling or upon the wall a greatly magnified picture of its face. 50 that one can lie comfortably In bed and read the time at a glance. Another push of the button extinguishes tho lamp.

The Rainbow Monkey.

You have all seen black monkeys aLd gray monkeys and brown mon keys. but how many of you have seen rainbow monkey?
 The rainbow monkeys name Is the mandril and he lives in the hilly parts of Africa. He is, indeed, a weird looking creature. His snout Is bright scarlet. and on either side of his long hideous face are deep grooves of pur- ple and scarlet and blue. His eyes are tiny and glow like ugly sparks of fire.
 The mandril has funny, stubby ears and a tail that Is only a sawed-off stump. His hind legs are deep vio- let color
 In fact, if you ever see a rainbow monkey. you probably will eIclaim: There ain't no such animal"

s-~ MoIes 2 Real Pest.

Hitherto moles have been tolerat- ed in our gardens in spite of the rav- ages that they make on the lawns and in the flower beds, because of the belief that they fed upon the in- sects that destroy the plants. If Xavier Raspail, the French naturalist, Is to be credited, we shall have to give up this Idea. for he says that moles eat nothing but earth worms and an occasional grub of harmless beetle
 Every one knows how valuable the worms are, for the holes they make permit the afr to permeate the soil. Therefore the mole may be regarded as an enemy and not friend of the gardener.
