Philadelphia Ledger.

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
Thanks to an Arkansas jury, we
have the largest market quotations
foi mental anguish. 1t came about
IN this way: A Joplin (Mo) grocer
telegraphed his wife in Fort Smith
asking when a friend would join him
IN Joplin. His wife telegraphed back
that the man was already on the
way, but the message when delivered
read that the man was dead The
grocer, who loved his friend, sued the
telegraph company for damages when
Nc discovered that the man was still
alive. He insisted that nothing less
than $500 would compensate him for
ihe grief that fortunately proved to
bo a futile waste Of emotion. The
tele graph company argued that as
the man was only a friend and not
{. relative the grocer could not have
suffered any mental anguish. But
the jury held different view. 1t evil
IDENTIFY contained some grocers who
believed that the business of weigh
ing sugar and handing out packages
of spice is not inconsistent with the
possession OF the finer human quail
ties With nice discrimination, how
tNtit II dpBIdlseu tue bIltl 1T the
sum Of $500.
Now, If such mental anguish as
this can be appraised down to the
traction Of a dollar, the Arkansas
jury might be able to inform a Curl
Gus and interested public what other
kirds of mental anguish are worth,
ssKen though they be not caused by
the bhinder of any wicked corpora
tion. There is the grief, for instance,
of Mr.. Finn, of Pittsburgh, over the
sad fate of the people of Pennsyl-
vania His heart is torn when he
thinks OF all the injustice and wick
edress that prevail because the halo
Mearers have not yet been called

Gus and the lmprovident proyident
and those politically Indifferent en-
thusiasfic followers of the distin-
guished faunal naturalist now travel

Smile, You Sour Face, Smile!

At first thought the order of an
Eastern mayor to his police force,
that whenever two or more of them
meet they must salute and smile,
seems a bit officious.
Can one smile to order, and is a
forced smile of any value?
But thinking more deeply, you'll
see the order rests on right phil
osophy. 1t is possible to cultivate
cheerfulness by will power. The habit
of smiling isn't harder to form than
the habit of grouching, and think how
much pleasanter it is for others.
Emotions are as contagious as
measles. We wouldn't knowingly let
a victim of measles roam at large to
infect those with whom he came in

A SHIP OF TUDOR TIMES

Dover, May 81, 1920, to meet Francis [.
at the Field of the Cloth Of Gold. the
incident being the subject of a picture
Icy Holhein in Hampton Court Palace
For the present there is a good deal
of doubt about the identity of the
relics at Woolwich, and 1t would
therefore be premature to accept the
theories put forward, but undoubtedly
the possibility of ship of Tudor
spread interest, and already there
have been several offers of financial
help to reconstruct the hull of the
vessel.

If possessed an income, say,
Of thirty thousand dollars yearly
And had it fixed in such way
That could see it coming clearly;
If, whether | should work or not,
The money kept on rolling TO me,
do not think dismal thought
Would ever stubbornly pursue me.
If such an income could be mine
And were young as well as wealthy
If ladies thought my gifts divine,
And | were handsome, too, and healthy;
If men should always speak of me
In terms that were most eulogistic,
don't think | should ever be
fretful man or pessimistic.
If had all the blessings which
Lie out beyond my reach at present;
If | were handsome, young and rich
And my surroundings were all pleasant
might have freedom from regret,
The chances are though, that shouldn't
For still, no doubt, I'd long to get
Some other something that | couldn't.

The Test of NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

rom the AHitIlfNI hafHiulsl
1t is well known that the building
of machinery is Ringing, more and
more, on the production of duplicate
parts.
1t is evident that a knowledge of
how far parts are really interchange
able is of value to the machinery man
ufacturer and also to the machine
tool builder. Thus the machine-to tool
builder who can demonstrate that his
machine and methods can produce
parts which possess higher degree
of interchangeability than those made
on a competing machine, has power
full selling argument to fling at his
prospective buyer
In searching for test of inter-
changeability, cannot one be found in
comparison Of the relative times of
an initial and subsequent assembling
of a machine or unit of machine
mechanism? That is, if we take
certain group of parts sufficient to
produce machine, and assemble il
from them with whatever fitting may
be necessary, carefully keeping a rec
ord of the elapsed time, then COM
pletely disassemhle the machine and
reassemble it, again keeping careful
record of the elapsed time. cannot the
ratio between these times be an ac-
curate gauge of the degree of inter-
changeability OF the parts involved

faithfully, and it would be a travesty
To speak of uplifting them. She
rather hoped to be upiifted by them.
The attitude which this woman takes
toward her people back home is ex-
ceedingly wholesome, exceedingly re-
freshing, and, incidentally. is the best
way to get atmosphere. Many others
of our popular writer's and novelists
might wen follow this woman's lead.
They might we'll go back to the
people, not with the uplift, "holier
than thou" attitude with which they
now come, not to study" them, "ob-
serve" them, but just to live among
them, be one of them. 1t would do
them good.
The major part of the popular fic-
ton of today has lost nearly every
connection with real life. The aver
age story of novel deals with unreal
people and describes unreal situations.
The advice to the writer's to go out
and live among the people might also
be given to the editors and publishers
of fiction, especially TO our magazine
editors. At present these editors
seem to be printing their magazines
for the taste and approval not of the
public, but of each other

When this convention was brought
to the attention of the court the con-
sui was promptly released with apollo
gies.
He took the matter up with his
government, and, after the inter
change of several notes with the state
department at Washington, the
French demands were acceded to and
the French flag was formally saluted
at San Francisco by guns from the
fort.
The later incident was when the
U. S. s. Wachusett, in violation of the
laws of neutrality, seized the Confed-
crate cruiser Florida in the harbor
of Bahia, Brazil. in October 1864
Again, after a long diplomatic cor
respondence, our government admit
ted its error, and a salute was fred
to the Brazilian flag in the harbor
OF Bahia by an American warship
sent there for that purpose.
The difference between these and
the present cases was that the re-
paration was made and the salute
fred some months after the original
offenses were committed. There was
no peremptory demand for an instant
salute, with time limit set.

matter with business today. The
railroads have stopped making ex-

TREES FULL OF FAT.
Some Of Them Yield Pretty Fair Sub
stitute For Butter.


There are several trees that yield an
oily substance much resembling butter
and making a good substitute for it.
Some of these grow in Europe. but the
best known species are natives OF AT
RIGA and South America.
The Bassia butyracea. or the "shea
butter" as ii is commonly called,
grows wild on the, west coast of Africa.
The butter nhiained from this tree is
derived by pounding and pressing the
seeds. viii h are three inches long
When extracted the oil assumes the
consistency of butter aud smells like
chocolate. Not only is ii an excellent
IT, for the making of soap and candles
The seeds of the crab tree of Brazil
and Guiana are 20 per cent fat. and
the crab wood tallow" derived from
them is excellent for the manufacture
of candles and soap. When boiled the
tallow turns out yellow butter which
contains small quantity Of strych
nine. The latter. however. is easily re-
moved by prolonged boiling.
From the nutmeg useful fat is OBJ
tanned. The nutmegs which have been
broken or damaged by insects are
roasted. ground and pressed for the
Eat. which is used for cosmetic and
medicinal purposes.
A tree aboundiHg in the forests Of
Africa and called by Kafiirs 'chigBite"

source being unknown white butter.

FLOWER FIRE.
Some Plants VIII Emit . Mysterious
Radiance at Times.

Radiance at Times.
The most wonderful-it might almost
be said spiritual attribute of flowers L.
neither their beauty Of color or form
nor their fragrance. but. strangely
enough. mysterious radiance that
sometimes surrounds them. writes
Carter Beard. 1t is strange that this
flower fire is SO little known and so sci.
dom noticed
The best time to watch for and to
witness the emission Of flower fire is
just after sunset Of u warm day. when
the atmosphere is perfectly dry and
clear On the contrary. II the air Is
dense or the day has been rainy moth
ing Of the kind can he seen. The light
emitted from flowers is sometimes con.
tinuous. but oftener, perhaps. repre-
sents itself in Pushes and chickering's
hke the sparks from piece Of paper
that has been electrified. The duration
OF the light varies according to the
state Of the atmosphere and the sort Of
flowers that are under observation.
A daughter Of Linnaeus Is credited
with having been the first. as long ago
as 1862. to have observed the luminous
emanations. While seated alone In her
fathers garden on fine. warm sum-
mer night her attention was attracted
to cluster Of the common nasturtiums.
whose flowers shone with iridescent
luster amid the surrounding gloom
Captivated by the charming novelty Of
the spectacle. she repeated her noe
turnal visit to the flowers number Of
times and never once failed to witness
the CLEAN of the nasturtiums.
Numerous other flowers. many of
which can be found in our gardens. are
discovered to be self luminous after ex.
posture to the strong. sustained light Of
the summer sun. for not only do groups
of nasturtiums exhibit the phenome
non, but the corolla Of the common sun
flower. the dahlia. the tuberose. the
yellow lily. and. indeed. a number Of
blossoms not named here.-ChristiaD
