For the New House.

When you commence to plan your new house get a good sized scrapbook in which to paste every kind of 9 sug- gestion you come across. There are. hundreds of little ideas as well as some larger ones which will help you give your home added charm or comfort without much increases in cost-ideas about built. in things, from a simple shelf to medicine closet or seat in an inglenook. There are things to do and things not to do about the placing of lights and of radiators and of water or steam pipes. There are pr4xciples of harmony to be remembered in the selection of rugs, draperies, wall deco rations and furniture We all run across such suggestions, but rarely re- member them So get scrap book or else a large envelope or flat box la beled The New House.

 has investigated the habit and his ad- vice is "don't sit cross legged He states that the prime objection to the habit is that the return flow of blood is stopped at the knee, the result be ing that the veins in the leg swell up. As all of the weight is thrown to one side of the body, the under leg is like 1y to go to sleep. The body should be equally balanced Much crossing of the legs is also dangerous in that it is likely to cause 1opsidedness. The limbs should be allowed to rest easily, so that the flow of blood is natural and Boy.

MasSaCreS In Belgium Laid
 To Invaders

London. Nov. 20-The Belgian com mission investigating the alleged Ger man violation of the laws of warfare has issued another report which is given out today by the British official news bureau here.
 It covers what is called ssthe Massa- ere att Tarniens,' = 'stne sack of Dinant'' and stthe outrages in the province of Belgian Luxem burgi' The report says that more than $50 persons were shot by the Germans in the village Of TaIniens. Referring in detail to this alleged massacre, the report de- scribes how a group of between 400 and 450 men were collected in. front of the village church.
 As shooting them down with rifles proved too slow, German officers orr dered up 3. machine gun and those not killed by the bullets from this weap- on were finished with bayonet thrusts
 According to the .colnmissions re- port more than 700 of the inhabitants of Dinant were killed. Eighty-four of these were shot to de&th on Parade ; square. and 50 others outside a church from which they had been driven by the Germans.
 The report alleges that more than 1000 similar executions occurred in the Province of Lt1xernburg.

Even the least superstitious are often struck by the misfortunes which at tend some persons on certain dates. A large firm in the city has in it's em- ploy a living instance of the fact. On June 12 an employee lost his left arm by coming in contact with machinery. The accident disabled him for his then employment, and he was given that of a messenger. On another June 12 he was run over in the Strand. while on an errand. Result, a broken leg. The next accident was fall on the stairs in the firms buildings gain June 12-the right arm broken this time. The fourth mishap on another anniversary broke three ribs. The firm took the case into consideration and issued an order that in future the employee was to. take holiday on that date, an order with which he has now complied for several years.-Lon- don Tit-Bits.

It is an interesting fact shat the two studies of arithmetic and geography seem to be diametricaIly opposed to each other in the ahecfiens of school children. Pupils who are particularly proficient in one are apt to be back ward in the other. A story is told of a little boy who was slow in arithme- tic and whose apparent stupidity in this field was great source of grief to his father, who had been a matIe- matician. One day when the father and son were walking out they passed a place where learned pig" was on exhibition, and the father took the boy to see this porcine prodigy.
 stJust look at that,' said the father. ssWhy, there's pig that can count and add up numbersl Don't you wish you were as smart as hep

Aueriean Restaurants.

What disconcerts the European in the great American restaurant is the ex. eessiye, the occasional maddening slow. ness of the service and the lack of in- terest in the service. Touching the lat ter defect, the waiter is not impOlite; he is not neglectfuk But he is too often 1passIEeIy hostile, or at best neutral. He, or his chief, has apparently not grasped the fact that buying meal is not like buying g ton of coal. If the puE- shaser is to getsvaIue, for his money he must enjoy his meal, and if he is to en- joy his meal it must not merely be eff ciently served, but 1t must be efficient. ly served in a sympathetic atmosphere The supreme business Of a good waiter is to create this atmosphere. True. that even in the country which has carried cookery and restaurants to Ioftie1 heights than any >other--L mean. of course, Belgium. the little country o1 little restaurants-the subtle ether which the truly civilized diner demands is rare enough.

HlTE WAY LIGHTS. 'iJAGGEDu INDEED.
One Illumination Will Brighten Poli Lobby, Another the
 Stratfield Entrance.

Folks who wondered what was meant when the White Way committee an nouhced that the new street 1amps s in the center of the city would be placed in rJaggeds formation have been enlightened. Jagged" evidently means so placed that the standards will interfere materially with sidewalk traffic.
 At Main street and Fairfield avenue, one post has been set on the south west corner of the street almost dl- rectly in the middle of the traffic path from Fairfield avenue across Main. At State streut and Main, on the south west corner, there is another standard similarly placed. that will aid ma terially in congesting sidewalk traf- hc.S
 In front of the Stratfe1d and in front of Poliss theater, standards have been erected almost directly under the brilliantly lighted marduees of those establishments. The new street lights probably are Intended to aid the pro prietors in discerning whether the marquees ar re properly illuminated.

Norman Kings and War.

The Norman kings had a way of their own of making money from their warlike preparations. William Rufus in the sixth year of his reign, '.caused 10000 foot to be lifted in England to rendezvous in Normandy But when they were come to the sea coast in or der to be transported he sent them all home again after exacting 10 shilings from each of them for their diet" Years afterward Richard l., according to the old chronicle, ordained that there should, be jousts and tourna- ments throughout England for the bet ter exercise of men in martial affairs, yet so that all persons should pay for their licenses to bear part in these exercises after the following rates: Every earl 20 marks, every baron 10 marks and such as had no land 2 marks.''

ALiterarv ReEIboy.

At one of the great London hotels there is a page boy wAo in his spare moments is much given to the study of the best English literature
 A few days ago he was paid his wages with small fine deducted for some breach of regulations. Indignant. the boy said to the manager. "Sir. if you should ever find it within the scope ofeyour Jurisdiction to levy an assess ment on my wages for some trivial act alleged to have been committed by my self at some inopportune moment in the stress of one's avocation would suggest that you refrain from exereis- ing that prerogative The failure to do so would of necessity force me to ten der my resignation.
 The manager, tottering, reached a chair and in gasps asked the boy what he meant. sIn other words. if you fine me again I shall chuck the jobv' said the lad.-London Standard

Raoaunized Tl1eir bid Erierd.

The late Sir John Stee1I, who was sculptor to Queen Victoria, was model ing bust of Miss Nightingale when an officer of one of the highland regi- ments which had suffered so cruelty in the Crimea heard that the bust had just been completed and was in Sir John's studio. Many of the men in his company had passed through the hos pital at Scutari, and he obtained per- mission from the sculptor to bring some of them to see it. Accordingly g squad of men one day marched into the studio and stood in line. They had no idea why they had been mastered in so strange place. Without word of warning the bust was uncovered, and then, as by one impulse, the men broke rank and with cries Of Miss Nightingale, Miss Nightingaler' sur rounded the model and, with hats of, cheered the figure of their devoted nurse until the roof rang. So spon- taneous and hearty and so inspiring was the whole scene that in after days Sir John Steell declared it to be the greatest compliment of his life.

saeinn In the Dark.

Sir J. J. Thomson is authority for the statement that when body is heated above the temperature of boil ing water 1t ordinarily begins to be faintIy visible, especially. by averted vision, but no definite color is discern ed until the temperature has risen con siderably higher. This suggests that the first effects are felt by the 'sre4s,' and not by the cones which together form the retfnA. The cones are spe= ciaIly concerned with the perception of color From this one would infer that animals which see in the dark must have retfnas particularly rich in rods. and physiology shows that this is nota- ply true Of the owl, whose retina is remarkable for the extremely great proportion of rods t6 cones. In faint, light. states Professor Thomson, the owl sees no color, but he sees some things which is good enough for his. purposes where we would see nothing at Philadelphia Record.

For six years-from 1544 to 1850 -Boulogne was an English possession, and the English element in the town was large and influential long before the cross channel pleasure steamers made it the best known spot in France to the majority of the English trippers.

Two Rules of Life.

Here is a man whose guiding princi- pie is hate. He is forever trying to punish somebody for some real or fan cied grievance. He will spend money and thought and time to bring confu- sion upon some one whom he chooses to regard as an enemy, money and thought and time which he might em- ploy in advancing his own fortunes or in nobler effort. When he succeeds in his end he seems to take brief satis- faction in his work, but he does not impress us as a happy man. He soon fcrgets all about the punished enemy and casts about for a new one to pun ish- When he fails in his end and his enemy escapes or punishes him he is very mulch cast down.
 One -advantage of taking the diamet- ricaIly opposite passion to the one this man has selected as your guiding prin- ciple of life is that even when you lose you win.-Columbus Journal.
