ANIMAL SPIRITS.
Our Vital Functions as They Were
 Known In GaIen's Time.


 "Few persons even stop to consider when they speak of a man of spirit that they are unwittingly employing the language of the days of Galen, says the Journal of the American Med ical Association. "Yet this is evident ly the survival of the old doctrine of spirits. We may believe that Galen had a conception of the nerve trunks as conductors of something-he called it spirits-to and from the brain and spinal cord. ..5
 "The natural spirits were that unde- fined property which gave to blood the capacity of nourishing the tissues of the body. The vital spirits were ac- Quired in the heart, and when at last the blood with it's vital spirits went to the brain and experienced sort of re- finement for the last time the animal spirits were separated from it and car ried to the body by the nerve trunks"
 Such was the idea of the vital func- tions in the second century. Today, after 1,SOO years, we know that there are no spirits in our blood or nerves, but we still speak of being in high spirits" or How spirits" of being full of animal spirits" of spirited an- swer' or spirited hOrse."

Elec&ronaonetg.

An electromagnet consists, essential
 ly. of d core of soft iron surrounded by many turns of insulated copper wire through which % powerful electric cur rent is made to flow. When the cur. rent starts flowing the iron instantly becomes magnet, and when the cur rent is shut off the iron just as instant ly loses its magnetism. An electromag
 net can be made much more powerful than permanent magnet of steel, and it is also much more useful. because its magnetism may be turned on and off at will. 1t is indispensable in making telegraph instruments, and in recent years it has become hardly less indis- pensable as a kind of giant derrick hand for picking up tons of steel and iron and, depositing them wherever they are wanted.-New York Journal,

"Doins Europe" In oIden Days.

Clare Howard in "The English Trav- elers of the Renaissance" tells Us that the serious aim of the traveller in and before Elizabethan days was to be- come "compleat person." This could be achieved only by coming into con- tact with the learning and life of the continent, particularly Italy-the flow CT of the renaissance-and as the sev- enteenth century advanced of France which then became the arbiter of man. pers. The discomforts, dangers and risks of travel in those days were CO., lossal. The dirty, insanitary inns were death traps, and many an eager tour ist lay down with smallpox before he had seen anything worth mentioning" |"
 The term grand tour;" Miss Howard tells us, was used for the first time by Richard Lassels in 1870 in an English book for travellers entitled "The Grand Tour of France and the Giro of Italy" She traces the causes involved in the decadence of the grand tour, to which the decline of the courier and the foundation of chairs of modern history and modern languages at Oxford and Cambridge contributed.

ONE AND ONE MAKE TWO?
Not Always, by Any Means, According
 to Sir Oliver Lodge.

1 to Sir Oliver Lodge.
 Sir Oliver Lodge has attracted a tremendous amount of attention by telling scientists (of whom he is One) that he believes ill immortality in spite , of science. This is not the first time he has locked horns with scientific dogma. In his book, Modern Prob. lems," he affirms that one and one do not always make two. And this is the "almost frivolous" way he makes his point:
 "I would contend that, whereas the proposition that one added to one makes two is abstractedly beneath controversy, it need not be true for the addition of concrete things. It is not true for two globules of mercury. for instance, nor for a couple of cOllid- ing stars; not true for pint of water added to a pint of oil or vitriOl. nor for nitric oxide added to oxygen, nor for the ingredients of an explosive mixture; not necessarily true. either. for snakes in a cage. or for capital in vested in a business concern, four ishing or otherwise, nor is it true, save in temporary manner. for couple of trout added to a pond. Life can make havoc of arithmetic.
 "The moral of all which is that propositions can be clear and simple and sure enough, indeed absolutely certain, as long as you deal with ab stractions, but that when you come to concrete realities and have all the i complexities of the universe behind you-not only behind but in front and among and intermingled with every simplest thing-then we perfOrce step out of the realm of positive dogmatic security into the region of reasonable and probable inference, the domain of pragmatic conviction, of commonplace intuition, of familiar faith"

cLoTHEsPIN MACHINES.
What Happens When a Log of Wood
 Starts Through Them.

What Happens When Log of Wood
 Starts Through Them.
 Making clothespins is an industry that nets handsome returns to many American factories. At Martinsville, Ind, there is a factory which has a capacity of more than 100000 clothes pins day.
 A rough log started through the mill comes out as hundreds of the shapely yard. The logs are cut into blocks about sixteen inches long, which a headlong saw cuts into boards about f1ve-eighths of an inch thick. A gang of saws cuts these boards into strips fve-eighths of an inch square and each long enough to make four pins. These strips are placed on an automatic trimmer and cut to the required length They are then conveyed to the auto matic lathes, seven in number, each with a capacity of four dozen. a min ute. From the lathes the pins drop to the slotting machines and from these to the dryroom, where all mois- ture is removed. Next they go to the polishing cylinders, which are filled about half full of pins, chips and saw dust The cylinders revolve slowly for four hours, after which the pins drop into chutes to be conveyed to the pack ing room. Each lathe has a capacity of 2,4OO dozen pins a day.-St. Louis Post Dispatch.

MT. and Mrs. Wm. Welch are re- ceiving congratulations upon the birth of daughter.
 The Branch mill is to be operated until the stock is run out, when it is expected it will be closed.

 Miss Myrtle B. Johnson, daughter of MT. and Mrs. Frank Johnson of South Main street, and a graduate of Monson academy, 1908, received her diploma as a graduate trained nurse at the Springfield hospital last week. The class numbers l7, and is the largest yet graduated.
 Monson is producing big game. It is several years since bear was killed in this town. but one was seen Wednesday in the Colton Hollow dis trict. It was on the farm of William Mayors and as he had no weapon but a swill pail at hand, he slapped the bear with that. Both got away safely. MT Mayors keeps pigs at a consider bale distance from his house and near some woodland. He went to the pan this morning and came upon the bear in the rear of it. Having the pail in his hand, he struck the bear with it and ran for the house. The bear ran in the opposite direction. It was a small black bear, and was no doubt attracted by the young pigs. In the hope that the animal will return, hunters are lying in wait near the pen. The cries that have been heard in the pasture west of the village are believed to have been made by a large woodcat which was shot late yesterday afternoon by A. N. Norcross aud William Crocker. The animal dis played some unusual symptoms and it is thought to have been mad The cries have not been heard since the beast was killed.
 Laura Randall, 65, wife of Carlos L. Peck, and for many years a well known resident of Monson, died at her home Monday, the 1st, on Main street after a four-weeks' illness She was born in Belchertown January 5, 1S49, and was the daughter of Sewall and Abigail Randall. She spent her early life in Belchertown, and attended school in that place. November ', 1872, she married Gil bert w. Harrington of Monson, who died in May, 1895. December 26, 1912, she married Carlos l. Peck who survives her. Mrs. Peck leaves. besides her husband, two step-daugh ters, Mary, wife of Leonard Anthony and Addie, wife of Archie eIchunt. both of Prov idpncr, R I, and thr, { step sons, Edward M of Windsor, Vt, Rufus and Dr LutIrr Peek o1 | Plymouth, Mich. 1; also thlCp sisters, Mrs. Julia Walker of Maynard, Mrs Delight Tuthill of Palmer and Ms Mary Stone of Enfield.

SERVANTS OF ROYALTY.
In England They Are Supplied by
 Regular Employment Agency.

Regular EmPIoyment agency
 Even royal palaces have their serv- ant problems. The general opinion seems to be that the servants who at tend upon kings and queens are of a race apart, but such is not the impress sion given by remarkably frank in terview given in London by a registry agent who has frequently had dealings with Buckingham palace.
 "We are held responsible for the peo- pie we send to the royal household " he said, "and we send no one who has tot lived in good houses and has had at least two years character
 "Only British servants are engaged. The men must be between twenty two and twenty-eight years old, and the women between eighteen and twenty two.
 ""The wages are no better, to begin with, than in other households. but there are better allowances-in hveries and in plain clothes. There is the chance, too, of promotion to something better.
 "A head hOusemaid might get $25O year, ana or course there IS pen sion for every servant who has served q certain number of years.
 ''Ten years is generally considered the minimum time for pension, but when a case of misfortune occurs an application is made to the king, who approves a special grant.
 '"The servants have plenty of work to do in the palace, but ample leisure and very good quarters and living, The maids are required to dress alike in the same colOred prints. The state porters and marshal men are engaged directly by the king on warrant
 "The ordinary household servants are resident. with the exception of personal housemaid, who travels with the royal family."-New York Press.

Good Advice.

Don't live beyond your income, no matter how small it is.
 Don't live up to your income. Save at least 10 per cent of it every month and if possible 40 per cent.
 Don't let money lie idle. It is the fractions that count. Put every bit of surplus in savings bank quickly. and every time $1OO accumulates invest it.
 Don't pay for show, but for value re- ceived.-Louisville Post.

Hindu Confectionery.

Like the American girls, Hindu girls are passionately fond of sweet things. One of their candies, sadu, is very much like our plain sugar candy. It is made of sugar and milk and favored with altar of roses. Buddhikabal. or hair of Buddha, is one of their most popular sweetmeats. It is so called because it is in fine, long strings like Vermicelli. This is made of sugar and cream from buffalo's milk, which is exceedingly rich.
