ming personality and was truStful in all
things His sales increased monthly
and in a few years he was doing
large business. Then he entered into
partnership with Robert E. Peterson,
the firm becoming Peterson & Ch1lds,
as the former had a little more money
than the latter; but in short time
the firm title was reversed and Chllds
became the senior partner
1t was not long until the firm began
publishing books as well as selling
them. They published only books OF
merit, those that they thought would
have a ready market, on account OF
their worth and usefulness. Ch1lds

most sangUinary expectations In 1850
Peterson, realizing that he had
competency for life, withdrew. Then
Childs brought j. P. Lippincott In as q

UNNECESSARY TO RISK LIFE
French Police Use a suffocating Gas
That Makes Arrest Of Dangerous
Person Easy.

Bullet-proof armor and revolvers
discharging cartridges containing a
suffocating gas, were used by the
French police in securing demented
woman who was firing at everybody
within sight. These weapons were
provided for the special police after
the downfall Of the motor bandits.
The scene of their use was Neuilly
The woman had barricaded herself in
her room, and from her window she
fired upon anyone who passed by.
A force of police, protected by
breastplates and carrying the gas-dis-
charging revolvers. went to the house.
They were received with volley, but
on reaching the door of her room they
fired the gas charges through a hole
in the woodwork. In few minutes
the woman fell unconscious to the
floor, and the men were able to secure
her and take her away without the
least trouble. 1t is said that, though
the gas thus fired causes almost i'm
mediate Inconsistencies, it has no
unpleasant after effects.

When the Work piles Up.

We can get any amount of work
done by taking 1t a moment at
time. It is when we try to take 1t
several moments at a time that 1t
gets beyond US. A business man had
a pile Of work in front Of him on his
desk, and was "stewing around over
it, and saying how tremendously busy
he was, when another man said to
him, You're not busy; you're only
confused" Seeing and thinking
about more than one thing at a time
brings the confusion that multiplies
burdens and binders the work. It
is sometimes well TO clear our desk
OF everything except the one thing
upon which we must be working; then
to take up the next thing; and SO on
until the days work is done. Concen-
tration routs confusion. Doing one
thing at time gets an amazingly
large number of things done.-Sun-
day School Times.

kissing in the street.

In seventeenth century New Eng
land kissing in the street was seri-
GUS offense. But go back to fifteenth
and sixteenth century Old England,
and the case is very different. One
of the Bohemian travellers whose mar
rative is given by Mrs. Henry Gusts
Gentlemen Errant" records Of Lon
don: 1T is the custom in this town
that at the first arrival Of guests in
any lodging the hostess, with all the
household, comes forth in4o the street
to receive; and each one of them it
behooves each one to kiss. Indeed, to
them. to take kiss is but as, to 9TH
ers, to offer the right hand" And
Mrs. Gust gives a whole sheaf Of
similar foreign testimony to the pleas
ant English custom of kissing in the
street.

BLOOMS IN MANY MONTHS
GoIdenrod Has Been Wrongly Con-
sidered TO BE Altogether an
Autumn Flower.

Most of US associate the goldenrod
with autumn. 1t seems to have been
created to serve Indian summers
an artist whose duty it is to color the
roadside, to border the lake with
strip of flame. to provide foreground
OF trustworthy and unerring pigment
against the indef1nable blues and pur-
pies of the distance.
But the goldenrod is probably more
summer flower than flower of the
fall, that is, If you consider all the
species and sub-species as one There
are goldenrods that bloom in June.
There are several that come in July
and are dry and colorless stalks when
September arrives. Though the flow
er rests under the accusation of
causing hay fever by means of it's
air-borne pollen, the fact that it has
blossomed and, in the case OF many
species, faded before the official open
ing day of hay fever, appears to make
out an alibi for 1t. Moreover, those
resorts in the North where hay fever
victims fly as to so many sanctuaries,
are not free OF the goldenrod. We
doubt If one of the refugees, If it is
not a mere lump of rock in the lake.
can truly say that no goldenrod
parades it's treasure within the vi
cinity.

Laws Against Noise.

Germany has probably the most
complete laws in the world against
superhuous noise. For noises annoy
ing the public in general" an indi-
vidual can be fined up to ct, or else
imprisoned. For instance, a barking
dog or cackling fowl which disturbs
a school makes it's owner liable under
the law. In Berlin it is forbidden to
transport through the streets arti-
cles such as sheet iron, chains, and
other metal objects table to make a
noise, unless packed so as to be
noiseless. New ordinances, now COM
