ones, may have opportunities for meet
ing and exchanging ideas, members of
the Sigma XII Fra ternity. formed to pro-
mote original scientific research. met
in the New England Museum Friday

scientific world to the Phi Beta Kappa
Fraternity in the literary or scholastic
world.

cation of the alumni chapter DR.

rected to apply for a charter from the

Washington Scientific Center.
Washington being the center of
many forms of scientific work. and
many scientists being gathered here
because of the presence of the govern
ment and allied Institutions it was de-
cided that at least temporarily a chap
ter would be of great benefit, particu-
larly along the line of assisting young
scientists to get in touch with kindred
spirits.
The fraternity was formed in 1886,
and since then it has grown rapidly,
having an annual increase of about
700 members. The total membership
in 1911 was 1893. The annual convent
lions are held during the meetings of
the American Association for the Ad-
vancement of Science and the indi-
vidual chapters seek to promote scien-
tific research in every way possible.
DR.. J. NJ. Cattell-is now the national
president.

CHINESE JUSTICE.
Ii Hung Changes Way With the Men
Who Tried to Poison Him.


When Ii Hung Chang was Chi
nese premier and was having a bit
ter fight with some Of the more
conservative members of the tsung-
ll-yamen he received as a present a
magnificent cake which he had rea-
son to suspect contained poison. He
put the cake aside and set all his
powerful machinery to work to
find out who was at the bottom of
the plot. The investigation was
partly successful, the crime being
traced to three men, of whom one
at least was absolutely guilty.
Ii had the trio arrested and
brought to his yamen. When they
arrived they were ushered into his
presence and were received in his
courtliest manner. The cake was
produced with the remark that po-
likeness forbade his tasting it until
the three generous donors had had
an opportunity to enjoy its excel
lence.
Ii cut the cake, and one of his
servitors handed it to the unwilling
guests. Each took a piece and ate
or pretended to eat it One crum-
bled the pieces and let them fall
upon the floor, but the other two
ate calmly, without manifesting any
emotion. Ten minutes and the two
men began to show symptoms of
suffering. Ii smiled benignantly
and said to the man who had not
eaten, "Your wisdom is so great
that I am compelled to preserve
your head as a souvenir to tran
scendent genius"
The man was removed and
promptly decapitated. To the 9th
er two the premier remarked: "The
cake that you are eating is not the
one you sent, but one which | had
my cook initiate. The poison from
which you are suffering exists only
in your Imagination. | know of no
way to cure your present pain ex-
cept by letting you share the same
fate as your friend who has just left
the ROOM"
AS they were led away to their
doom the statesman said to his reti-
nue., at is a pity that man who
can eat a deadly corrosive poison
with an unmoved countenance
should so misapply the talent where
with heaven has endowed him."

How to Chase Away Many Ills.

~T'%HERE are so many excellent
n remedies among the common.
inexpensive articles found IL
every kitchen pantry that we
might save ourselves the expenditure
of many dollars by using them and
possibly gain even better results than
we can with high priced remedies
Are you tired and nervous? Is your
circulation below par, and are chilly
sensations chasing each other up and
down your spine? The best possible
remedy is found on the pantry shelf in
your can of ground mustard Dis
solve tablespoonful of the mustard
make it a generous one-and mix it
with II tubful of hot water, then rest
in this bath for from ten to twenty
minutes. You will feel like new in
dvidual, rested, refreshed. toned up
generally and fit for a big days work
Do you feel rheumatic twinges that
are elusive as to location but very APP
parent as to unpleasant ensatiOnS?
Here is mixture which has proved
its worth in such cases times innumer-
have ready these ingredients. which
must be thoroughly mixed and com
pIetely dissolved in the water before
you get into the bath: One small cup
full sal soda. or ordinary washing soda.
one big tablespoonful ground mustard.
one teaspoonful laundry ammonia.
Now empty half the package of bran
you have on hand for bran bread into
a piece of coarse muslin or double
cheesecloth, and tie it up tightly. then
soak it for few minutes in the wa
ter and after you are in the tub squeeze
the bag of bran until every bit of the
gluten is out of it. Remain in the
bath from ten to twenty minutes. You
will be likely to lose all the aches and
pains and will come out of the bath
with your skin as soft as velvet
Have you come home sunburued
from a long walk or ride? Crate up
a raw potato and spread thickly on the
REDEEMED skin. 1t will take out the
fire and relieve the irritation very
quickly.
Has your skin a tendency to break
out in heat rashes when the hot wealth
er becomes settled: Bicarbonate of
soda, or, in other words, ordinary bak-
ing soda, dissolved in the bath will
soon relieve the trouble. You can use
a half pound of the soda in an ordinary
tub of water or vary the quantity as
seems best for your needs. 1t is abso-
lutely harmless and can be used as
frequently as desired and will be found
to make cooling and refreshing bath
at the close of hot and humid day.
Is your liver out of order? Do you
have trouble with your digestion and
a generally sluggish condition of your
system? Dissolve half teaspoonfu
of ordinary table salt in a glass of
water. either hot or cold. and drink
a half hour before breakfast, or at
bedtime, if you prefer. This simple
remedy acts like magic and has no
Ill effects afterward, as many medl.
cines have.

Sound In the Air.

A writer in the Strand Magazine
describes the astonishment he ex-
perienced when, riding over London
in balloon at height of more
than half mile, he heard the deaf
ening roar of the great city beneath
him as it could not be heard when
on the ground. The noise, even at
that height, was so harsh and in
tense as to be painful to the ear.
How perfect sound conductor the
air is was shown when the balloon
drifted far over the city to a wood
ed part of the country, where the
murmur of the leaves moved by the
wind, half mile below, was dis
tinctly heard.

The day will come when the people
will demand as high degree of integrity
Ia the man who stands to represent them
in the legislative balls ASH the man who
stands in the pulpit. And why should
they nolP

be the rule of the earth.
But there are preliminary steps and
these steps must be taken by men under
the leadership of the King of Kings, and
not under the domination of vested in
terests. These steps must be taken by
men vino are united in heart and pur
pose to stand for the right. | decent
men all over this couatry would unite,
we could close the saloon, and drive the
liquor power out of politics, and three

and not till then, whenChristan manhood
is harnessed to the machinery of govern
ment, "Shall justice roll down AS the
water, and Righteousness as a mighty

The call of today is for men. Men who
are ready to suffer. Men who are ready
to discern Gods will and declare it,
Who are ready to be stoned as Stephen
was stoned. to be mobbed as Paul was
mobbed, to be burned at the stake as
was John Huss, or Savonarola, to be cru
Gifted AS Jesus was crucifed?

But if the way to TRUTH and brotherhood, and

pines on the return trip, Del Cano

on his voyage of decentralization
