FAMOUS
WOMEN
Her
Birthday
And
Yours
October 19-Amanda Jones,

Amanda Jones is noted as a really re-
markable mechanical genius. She has
gained distinction in a field in which
few women shine-as an inventor.
She was born in Ontario County, New
York, seventy-nine years ago today. When
she was fifteen she began the serious
work of life as a school teacher. When
the civil war broke out Amanda wrote
some thrilling war songs which were
published in 1851 in a volume called Utah
and Other POEMS" and met with great
success.
From about the time Of the civil war
Amanda Jones became a regular con-
tributOr to many American magazines,
ranging from The Methodist Ladies' Re-
pository," to Scribner's and the Century
Magazine as well as various young folks
magazines. But 1t was in the realm of
household management that her greatest
efforts were expended and this in spite
Of the fact that she had chosen a life
Of single blessedness.
1t was in her efforts to simplify the
problem OF canning fruit that she in
vented the famous vacuum preserving
method known as canning without cook
ing" This is the system now generally
employed in the large canning factories.
This was really great invention when
judged from its results in money and
labor saved, and 1t was followed by
equally successful minor inventions.
1t was in this work that Miss Jones re-
Vealed her remarkable mechanical genius
and she is among the very few women
who haze contributed to the technical
engineering and scientific magazines. Her
most recent inventions have been In de-
vices for burning Of liquid fuel for man
ufacturing purposes and steam genera
ton.

The Parsees of Bombay are called
the fire worshipers" of the east be-
cause they hold in great reverence the
fire they brought with them from Per-
STA and have never allowed it to be-
come extinguished in their temples;
and because they worship the sun as
the author of life.
The Parsees have always held aloof
from other people and are famed for
their commercial ability. AS a conse-
quence of this ability they are the
weaIthiest, most cultured and infiu-
entail class in Bombay. So numerous
are they that Bombay has been called
the city of Parsees."
The religion of the Parsees is one
of the ancient religions of the world,
and was the religion of Persia when
that country was second in power of
the four great empires of the world
B%abylonia, Persia, Greece, Rome.
In a great many particulars the re-
ligion of the Parsees comes nearer to
Christianity than any other Oriental
faith.

Once out in Nebraska a man

complained was assessing his

claimed that a goat was not real

One of the assessors, a pleasing

that he could go upstairs with
him and they would look over
the rules and regulations and see
what could be done.
They looked over the rules and
finally the old man said:

ANIMAL THAT NEVER DRINKS
~Porcupine's Lips-Lives on
Bark and Leaves.

An animal that never drinks has ar
rived in London. Undoubtedly it is
the first and only one, and all London
is rushing to see it. Naturally such a
curiosity is confined in the zoe.
"Wot a hun'appy beast it is! No
wonder it's bristles stick out like that"
remarks a man who has just drawn
the back of his hand across his mouth.
"E do look drier than me Sunday
at" assented his companion.
Temperance advocates use the new
conner to point a moral and adorn a
tale. Behold the lesson that he
teacheth! Never a drop passes his
lips. Would that there were men in
London that could say as much"
1t remains to be seen whether this
Brazilian tree %porcupine will take to
drink now that he has been separated
from his South American habitat and
brought to the gloomy and chill pur-
lieus of London. If he does demand
drink, what will he choose? Maybe
some of the curious visitors will sur
reptitiously ply him with a little ale
or gin or some other London beverage
to see it's effect upon an animal that
has never had a drop of anything to
drink.
In his native Brazil this animal
feeds upon the bark and leaves of
trees, and the natives are very fond
of its flesh. 1t has a prehensile tail
which serves as a fifth hand.

MUCH VALUE IN Discomfort
Writer Finds Fault With the Celebrat-

Benjamin Franklin.

Don't keep your expenses down to

This is the advice given by a San

not, when you come to think it over.
Take the clerk on $1,000 or $1,000 a

restrained men, keeping not only his
expenses but his wants well within
his meager income, he will remain
a clerk all his life; die with that
