Military coun.

=
During the army maneuvers in Con.
necticut last summer, the Blues were
doing their best to resist the advance
OF the Reds. To that end they blew
up historic Washington bridge, which
spans the Housatonic and connects
the towns of Stratford and Milford.
The disconcerting information that
the structure had been destroyed"
and was therefore unavailable for
crossing the river, was announced by
the Reds by means of large placards
conspicuously posted on. the ends Of
the bridge.
Nevertheless, soon afterward, some
Blue pickets surprised squad of Reds
in the act of crossing the bridge, and
rushed upon them Hey, there, you
idiots!" they shouted "You can't
come over that way! Don't you know
there isn't any bridge there?9
/ The Reds, caught in a serious breach
of the rules, were in a most embarrass.
Ing position, but the quick wit of one
of them saved the day. Go on--idiots
yourselves he retorted, Indignantly
Cant you fellows see that we're
ewimming!"-Youth's Companion.

Hergson Dielikes Popularity.

Henri Bergson is growing very
weary OF his popularity, which, since
bis election to the French academy,
HAS Increased so much that there is
never even standing room at his lee
TIRES at the Sorbonne Mr.. Bergson,
who lives a solitary life in his Ivory
Tower at Auteuil, is bored by his fash
innable audiences, and by lecturing as
abstrusely as possible tries to frighten
them away. But it does no good.
One afternoon a woman, whose
name is historic and whose clothes
ere the envy of Paris, went up to the
philosopher at the close of a lecture
on the psychology of laughter. Mas
ter" she said, Il do not know how to
thank you. You have made me think"
Please accept my sincere apologies.

AWAY WITH AGE LIMIT
THEORY HAS BEEN PROVED TO
BE AN A5suRplTY.
Many Notable Instances of Men Who
Have Done Their Best Work
After What Is Looked on
as Middle Age.

Though Sir William Osler persist
what is known as Oslerism, it is con-
venient and euphonious name for q
theory as to old age, and Oslerism 1t
will remain so long as there is life in
that fallacious doctrine. He explains
that in an unguarded moment he
quoted a foolish jest from forgotten
novel, but being physician he was
taken seriously. However, our sym
patty for him should be qualified by
the fact that his mistake has given
him a far wider reputation than any
of his achievements in medical re-
search.
Who utters joke must bear its con-
sequences, and these should not be SO
painful to man who had the pleasure
of seeing his mother smile at Oslerism
in her hundredth year, and who at
sixty-five boasts that he is doing bet
ter work than at thirty.
Gladstone at forty expressed the
opinion that no statesman could be
of real service to his country after
passing the three-score mark, but his
brain was never clearer than when
at eighty he was the most important
factor in British politics.
Some men only begin to live or to
do their best when they have reached
the stage usually spoken of as that
Of the sere and yellow leaf. Innumer-
able instances might be cited, but per-
haps the most conspicuous is that Of
William de Morgan, the foremost Eng
lish writer of today, who wrote his
first work at sixty and whose humor
becomes the more youthful the older
he grows.
And here is our own John Bur-
roughs, world famed as a naturalist
and author, planning new volumes on
his seventy-seventh birthday. Age
has not withered his imagination nor
weakened his enthusiasm in the cause
of natural history, while his latest
work has all the freshness that
marked the illusions of two-score
years ago.
It is time that men ceased to limit
not merely their activities, but their
lives as well, because of the supersti-
ton that old age necessarily means
feebleness. Those who are actually
exhausted may not deny the fact,
whether they are forty or eighty, but
there are many who are only victims
Of the suggestion that at a certain
period they must begin to decline.
Let those latter learn Of Burroughs
and others that suggestion can cut
both ways and is just as effective
when conducting to the belief that it is
never too late to do good work and
enjoy life.

Clock to jog the Memory.

A memory" clock is about the new.
est thing in timepieces, according to
Playthings. This clock does not differ
in appearance from an ordinary clock,
excepting that around the outside rim
Of the dial there are holes so placed
that there are four of them between
every hour sign. They are marked
Il, II, q, and star, the latter being
directly opposite the hour.
With the clock is furnished a mum.
Der of small brass plugs, the purpose
Of which is this: When one of them is
placed in one of the holes mentioned,
say at a point where it marks a quar-.
ter after one, the clock will make
distinct buzzing noise, loud enough to
attract attention, at exactly that time.
regardless of how many other plugs
there are in the clock. The value OF
such a clock to a business man can
scarcely be overestimated. AS soon as
he arrives at his desk he can plug up
the clock in accordance with his ap-
pointments and other matters which
have to be attended to at definite
times. After the clock has been
plugged he can proceed to work and
forget all about his appointments. AT
the first call of the buzzer he knows
that certain matter is due for his at
tention, which he may promptly for
get after it is attended to, sure in the
knowledge that the clock will watch
out for his other appointments.

Repairing a cut.

The first step in the repair of cut
In the shoe, regardless of the depth to
which it is cut, is to scrape around
the cut with rasp until there is clean
rubber or fabric around the entire cut.
The exposed surface should then be
rubbed with, a wire bufing brush,
which is generally furnished as part
of the tool kit. This will give good
surface for the cement to take hold.
After the roughening process is COM
plete the surface should be, given a
coat Of vulcanizing cement and then
left to dry. When thoroughly dry the
fresh cement will have a glossy ap-
pearance. A piece of raw rubber
which comes with the vulcanizer, or
which can be secured from any tire
repair shop, is fitted into the cut. II
it is a long cut that has taken OF a
considerable area of rubber, piece of
raw rubber is cut to the same shape
as the piece torn off, or If it is merely
a cut to be filled, small piece Of
the raw rubber is inserted in the cut,
In the case Of cut or tear of the
tread, the rubber is cut away from
the damaged portion in rectangular
shape and the new piece of rubber is
cut approximately to size and then
rolled into place with a small stitcher
roller, which marks the exact size.
The excess rubber is then cut away

HORSES THAT DRINK GRASS
Product Peculiar to the Hawaiian Is
lands Furnishes Both Food
and Liquor.

The proverbial horse which can be
led to water, but which cannot be
made to drink, exists in great num-
bers in the Hawaiian islands.
Among the cattle he has thousands
of cousins of the same proclivities.
1t is surprising statement to make.
and yet one that is literally true and
SO commonplace that no one there
thinks anything about it, and there are
hundreds of horses and thousands of
cattle which never take a drink of
water throughout the whole course
Of their lives.
On all the islands the upper alti-
tUdes OF the mountains are given up
to cattle ranges. The cattle run wild
from the time they are born until they
are rounded up to be sent to the
slaughter house. Except during pos
sibly two or three months of the rainy
season, there are no streams or pools
Of water in any part where the cattle
range
But everywhere there grows re-
cumbent, jointed grass, known by the
native name of MAMMA. This Is
both food and drink, says recent
traveller. Horses and cattle grazing
on it neither require water nor will
they drink it when offered
Our first experience with this fact
was on a trip to HaleakaIa. A party
were mounted on horses which had
just been brought in from the range.
The journey they made was Il miles,
in which distance they assembled 5000
feet.
The party started in the afternoon,
and at sunset halted for supper. They
thought it strange that the horses
should leave feed of grain to nibble
the scanty grass which grew nearby,
but were willing to trust their instinct
in the matter.
However, before starting they in
sisted that they be given water. The
native guide demurred to this, saying
they didn't need it, but with the good
natured complaisance of his race.
yielded to requests, and led a de-
tour of about mile, which brought
the party to a ranch house, where
there was a well. But to the utter
amazement Of the travellers the horses
would not drink.
They took it as another case of in
stinct and assumed that the water,
for some reason, was not good, and
SO refrained from drinking it them
selves. 1t was not until the return,
the second day, to Kawaapae, that
the travellers learned the secret of the
wonderful MAMMA grass.

Acquits Nero of lncendiarlsrn-

According to an archeologist who
has been lecturing in Rome, Nero was
in no way responsible for the burning
of the imperial city. Nor were the
early Christians, who have at various
times been accused of incendiarism.
There was full moon the night of
the confagration, and the learned pro-
lessor deduces therefrom that the fire
must have had an accidental origin,
since incendiarism would have, been
too risky in the circumstances.
But the legend Of Nero's fiddling
while the city burned is likely to per-
sist, even in spite of the fact that the
tower from which he is alleged to
have watched the flames was not built
until after his death,

vicar Of certain village church was

his congregation to determination,

SENT UP A PLEA FOR HELP
Sailors, imprisoned in Submarine, Tel
ephoned Their Appeals to Rescu-
ers at Surface.

The Mingoa is one of the submarine
1otilla stationed at Libau. On Satur-
day several weeks ago it was out for
exercise in the neighborhood of the
hghtship off Libau, with its full crew
of 10 men under the command Of Lieu
tenant Garsoev, and as usual tender
was present during the maneuvers,
writes a ST. Petersburg correspond
ent Of the Seattle Railway News. The
Mingoa, which was apparently pro
ceeding either well on to the surface,
or just awash, was suddenly discov-
cred by those on the tender to take
a plunge in somewhat abnormal fash
ion, throwing it's stern well into the
air. For some time it was not sup
posed any accident had happened, and
the return Of the submarine to the sur
face was expected, but the appearance
Of the emergency buoy gave the alarm.
These buoys not only serve precisely
to locate the whereabouts of sunk
en- submarine, but are fitted with tel
ephonic apparatus, enabling the crew
to communicate with the upper air.
The moment the tender learned by
these means what had happened, it
steamed off to the lightship, which tel
egraphed the news Of the disaster to
the dockyard headquarters at Libau.
The accident happened at three
o'clock in the afternoon, but owing, it
would seem, to the disposal of the men
on Saturday, the message was not
acted on for several hours, and it was
not until nine o'clock at night that
the salvage vessels reached the spot.
The weather conditions remained hap
PLY favorable, and divers having fixed
the lifting chains, the Mingoa was sue
cessfully brought to the surface by
midnight, having been nine hours at
the bottom of the sea- When the
after hatch was opened three men
staggered out, barely able to crawl.

after part of the vessel. There re-

three hours work, but the coxswain,
