such cases the floor supports ale sure

Indication at once that the house has
been cheaply built in at least one par

them. BY next year they are just as
bad, then it is given up as a bad job,
and the family keeps on year after
year putting up with little annoyances
that should have been corrected in

to the floor supports, and | know of no
better way than to put in division

walls right give them sufficient foot

Bridge of Strange Disappearance

Gently the Shinto priests came in pro
cession to do battle with the forces OF
darkness. Duly robed and equipped
with patent charms, they formed them
selves into two parties. One recited
prayers while the other passed to and
fro over the bridge, striking with long
STATS at the spirits which they alone
were empowered to see. This done
the bridge was pronounced "open,'
and safe for the most timid bride.
The incident to which the bridge
owes its evil reputation dates from
the thirteenth century. In the neigh
borhood says tradition, lived one Ma
kano, a wealthy but unpatriotic man
whose constant fear was that his
goods would be seized to swell the
war chest. So he buried his treasures
in boxes by the river, slew the serv
ants who had assisted him, and cast
the bodies into the dark waters. His
sin was visited upon the daughter
who thrice married, was thrice left
a widow. Distracted, the unhappy
girl fed from her fathers house, but
in crossing the bridge she suddenly

The Mysterious Thyroid.

The thyroid gland. which is situated
about the lower part Of the throat, Is
still a medical mystery.
Practically nothing Is known as to its
uses and very little about the causes
of disease In It. Goiter is a nonmalig-
nant~ enlargement Of the thyroid gland.
The swelling may be no more than a
mere thickening, or 1t may grow into
a mass weighing several pounds. 1t Is
common In mountainous districts and
where there Is magnetism limestone In
the soil and drinking water. Operation
may be necessary. but goiter will usual
~ yield to treatment and Is rarely
fatal. Malignant disease Of the thy
roid gland Is often associated with
overstrain or sudden shock. Here D
Grafton IS generally necessary and is a
very serious matter indeed. In some
mysterious way removal Of the thyroid
gland affects the mental powers. and
the unfortunate person who has his
thyroid removed Is In great danger OF
losing his wits. more particularly his
memory.-Pearson's Weekly.

Augustus II. Garland, who was at
toeney genaral under President Cleve-
land, was very fond Of practical Jokes
and during his term Of service in the
senate frequently turned the laugh on
hts colleagues. Senators voorhees, and
Vest, with whom he was very friendly,
finally determined to turn the tables.
Mr.. Garland had q habit, like voor-
heeA Of munching candy, and Vest and
Voorhees, made It up between them to
take advantage Of his fondness for
sweets TO play their trick. They had
some tempting looking chocolate cara
mels prepared with the interior filed
with brown soap. These they took to
the senate chamber, and voorhees,
placed them ON his desk. The lid being

voorhees, looked up carehssiy from

Garland needed no second invitation
and, picking up two or three, placed
one in his mouth. At the first bite he
gave a gasp, but immediately pulled
himself together. Steadily he chewed
away. his face ~betrlying no sign Of the
conflict that was raging within him.
This alarmed Voorhees,. who went to
Vests desk and said:
~He's eating them, Vest. What shall
we do? The stuff Will kill him sure!'
Senator Vest replied that 1t could do
no more than make him sick. Garland
swallowed the stuff, although he was
foaming at the mouth from the soap
suds. He related the incident after
ward with great gustO and said he
would have swallowed it If 1t had
killed him.
