Old Time Gas Charges.

The price of gas in the early part OF
the last century is shown by SEIZED
ule of charges issued by the Liverpool
Gaslight company in the year 1917. In
stead of so much per cubic foot being
levied, each individual burner was
charged for, and the price varied ac-
cording to the hour at which the light
was to be extinguished. Thus for US
ing one No. 1 Argand burner up till
s %. ~. E3 per annum had to be paid.
For the right to keep it alight I'M
til 8 f3 1Ss. was the figure, while
those FOSTERING blades who sat up till
10, II or Il had to disburse f4 16s., 70
Us. and f6 IS. respectively. Imagine
the sss bill at house where ten or
twelve burners are faring away until
the small hours if such a method OF
taxation were N force nowadays!-Liv-

Old Civil Service Examination.

Lady Dorothy NevilI in one of her
books gave an amusing example of the
style of examination for posts in the
British civil service which prevailed
before the advent of the competitive
system. The young candidate was ush-
cred into the room of the old chief
clerk of the department, and this or
deal followed:
''Sit down. sir" roared voice Of
thunder Then after painful pause:
Nov, sir, attention. | shall examine
you in arithmetic"
"Shall l not have pen and paper?'
mo, SIR Numbered out the tyrant
voice Attention! How much are
two and two?"
Paralyzed by the voice and sudden
question. the youth stared and then
gasped out quite seriously:
-Four. sir
Quite right, sir" roared out the ex-
aminer, slapping him on the back
You'll do, SIR
But the question surely should have
been. How many blue beans make

The first school the late S. r. Crock
EFT attended was the Free Church
school in the village Of Laurieston, of
that parish. distant three miles from
his home. When he was very wee
chap Sam" used to be accompanied to
school by Maggie-a girl somewhat
older than himself. who was supposed
to look after him. Their daily appear
ance together led one of the villagers
to say to him one day as the couple
passed her door: "Man, Sam, think
veil be mairryin' Maggie some day;
we're aye thegither." Marry Maggie

The Earth's Interior.

That the interior of the earth is in
tensely hot is proved by the increase
in temperature observed in deep mines
and in even deeper borings. 1t is prov
ed also by the emission of lava, which
is nothing more than molten rock. from
the craters of volcanoes. But the scien-
lists, who maintain that the earth's in
terror is not fluid but of the consistency
of steel. are probably correct just the
same. Matter, when under great pres
sure, may be rigid even at enormously
high temperature. The interior rocks
of the earth may be heated to several
thousand degrees and still be solid.
When pushed UP to the surface by vol
canic action and relieved from pressure
these solid, though superheated, rocks
would become Immediately liquefed.
The practical deep we'll borers, who
find that their drills are softened by
the heat of the lower strata. have not
got the laugh on the theoretic savants.

ve,,o,x Fever on the Amazon.

Iquitos is a town on the Amazon riv-
er within four degrees of the equator.
An equatorial swamp not only sur
rounds the place, but thrusts invading
swales into the city itself. Open sew
ers run the length of the principal
streets. which are quite innocent OF
paving. Yet an American surgeon,
loaned from the public health service
and loyalty supported by the Peruvian
government Of the place, has driven
out yellow fever even under such dis
advantages as these and reduced the
general death rate from forty-nine per
thousand per year to twenty-eight- In
the face of such an achievement, what
excuse has any American city for har-
boring preventable disease?-Chicago

VIENNA, AUSTRIA-The worst dis
aster in the history Of aviation occur
red at the military aerodrome ON the
outskirts of this city when nine men,
Including five army and navy officers,
were killed in a collision between an
aeroplane and dirigible balloon.
The two air craft were maneuverlng
at a height of coo feet, powerful Far
nan bi-plane crashed into the gasbag
of the dirigible Parseval.
There was a loud explosion follow
ed by a burst of flames which ignited
both craft.
The blazing balloon and the burD-
ing aeroplane dropped through space
like naming meteOrs.
Those on board faced inevitable
death in two forms, either to remain
Oh board and burn to death or leap
to destruction from the wrecked and
burning air carriages.
The spectators upon the ground
stood rooted in horror at the spectacle.
They could see the figures upon the
balloon clinging to the framework OF
the big dirigible as the struts buckled
and broke.
Tied Upside Down in Fire.
The aeroplane was wrecked by the
impact and Immediately turned over.
The aviator had been strapped to his
seat and he hung helpless in the burn
ing Wreckage.
In addition to the pilots and the
crew, the passengers on the Parseval
end the Farman biplane included
captain and four lieutenants.

by the fall that death was only a mat
ter of few minutes.
Bodies of Victims Charred.
Some of the victims had all their
clothing burned off and their bodies
were so black and charred as to be al
most unacceptable.
At the time of the catastrophe a
lumber of aeroplanes were maneuver-
ing. An investigation of the tragedy
was commenced Immediately. Officers
of the aerial squad expressed the opin-
ion that the aviator of the aerOplane
had momentarily lost control of his
machine or that the balloon had failed
to answer her helm.

Even IF His Wealth ls Small.

The mind of every true countryman
undergoes an evolution. Starting with
the desire for material achievement,
passing on through the stage where
he prizes the commentator of men
most highly, he arrives at the condi-
ton where good living is it's own re-
ward. If a man has planned wisely,
cultivated will without stint or over

worthy, even though the consumma-
ton in terms of the worlds goods is

Our advertisements now tell of
the daily activities in business, tell
It in a sprightly and often illustrated
form, and tell it with definite detail.
In a 100-year-old newspaper lying
before me the advertisements are
certainly not the least absorbing of
its contents. There was a big car
go of rum which had slipped through
the fingers of the watchful British
frigates-war was then in progress
some fine Oriental fabrics and a
lot of Virginia tobacco.
Alas, there were also slaves offer
ed for sale but not in Philadelphia,
and the price asked for "a likely

century hence Philadelphians would
be as much interested in the price
of 1913 pianos, overcoats. hats,
automobiles, eggs, bread, theatre

His Stomach Troubles Over.

Mr. Dyspeptic, would you not like
to feel that your stomach troubles
were over, that you could eat any
kind of food you desired without
injury? That may seem so unlikely
to you that you do not even hope
for an ending of your trouble. but
permit US to assure you that it is
not altogether impossible. If others
can be cured permanently, and
thousands have been, why not you?
John R Baker, of Battle Creek, Mich,
is one of them. He says, Il was
troubled with heartburn, indiges-
ton, and liver complaint until l

my trouble was over" Sold by 81

affairs.
To the historian of 500 to 1000
years hence advertisements, if pre-.
served, will be of enormous value.
Just think of what We should know
had the ancients advertised as do
modern business men!
Rather interesting to learn the
sort of razor Caesar was probably
using and what he paid for it, where
Cicero bought his toga and writing
materials, what a first-rate Spartan
shield-the sort the mothers grimly
told their sons they should come
home with or upon-had cost and
who made them.
Helen of Troy's hair tonic would
surely interest the ladies, as would
C!eopatra's slippers, with the prob
able price tag. So all through
history.
