Of a hitherto unrealiZed perfection

must needs chase each other between

lat dinner, if he is luckily accustomed
to picnics, carries his own plate and
washes it afterward. I have myself
entertained many a guest in this
fashion, and he has carried his own
plate, and, being that kind of a guest
or I wouldn't have invited him, he
has cheerfully helped wash the dishes,
wearing a borrowed apron. But it
would be absurd to claim that this
performance, indefinitely repeated,
is an improvement upon an orderly,
efficiently served dinner party. Con-
versation at dinner is more desirable
than a foot-race between the courses;
nor do I believe that life under such
conditions can possibly become so
alluring that one day the great ma
jority of us will choose it first Of all -

Of cheap water transportation supple
menting the cheap transportation Of
it's railways. The American visitor,
travelling from Brussels to Berlin,
from Cologne up the Rhine, from the
short, in Germany, cannot fail to be
impressed by the businesslike use of
the waterways. Hundreds of barges
carrying thousands of tons of freight
are seen, continual procession upon
the canalized rivers and artifcially
constructed canals.

Almost without a sea harbor, Ger
many has grown to be a great COM
mercial nation. With her chief fac
tories located two or three hundred
miles inward, she has brought them
raw material by water at cheapest
rates and shipped the finished pro-
ducts, made in Germany" to compete
in the worlds markets successfully
with the products of nations where
original conditions are far more favor
able. This has been done by putting
all the German rivers to work. While
Great Britain, with the Oldest and, at
one time, the best system of water
ways in Europe, and the United
States, with water-courses unequaled
among great nations, have permitted
these waterways to fall into disuse,
the young giant of Northern Europe
has developed for actual use even her
smallest streams and has dug canals
to connect her most important centers
of production. Hence, as contributing
cause at least, red cedar, taken from
an Ozark forest in Missouri, shipped
to Nuremburg, employed in the manu-
facture Of pencils, re-shipped to Amer
lea, can be sold in competition with
American pencils. Hence, pig iron con-
sumption has grown in two decades in
Germany 265 per cent, while crude
steel production is fifty times as much
as twenty years ago. Hence-indus-
trial Germany.

"No Smoking"

When railways were novelty the
companies vigorously enforced their
anti-smoking laws. The Great West
ern company once caught a tartar
says London Tit-Bits. The station
master at Didcot removed a passenger
from an "up" express train and handed
him over to the police on charge OF
smoking to the annoyance Of fellow
traveller. Next day the prisoner was
brought before the magistrate, and
when asked what he had to say in an
swer to the charge he replied:
"Gentlemen, the offense took place
in the County of Willis, whereas I am
now charged in Berkshire. l am a SO
licitor; I was specially engaged in 6
case which I shall now miss, and
shall sue the company for OBTAINING
me. I respectfully hold that you in
this county have no jurisdiction over
what occurred in another county"
He was released, and he did sue the
company and got $50 damages.
The first smoking was in
troduced on the Eastern Counties rail
way in September, 1916.

MAKE DRUG STORE A CLUB

hood in City, Until the Clos
ing Hour.

When the head of a famous firm of
English chemists was in this coun-
try, studying the conditions in his
business, he found out that an Amer
lean drug store is not the same as a
drug store or chemists shop in a
European city. 1--WE have no station
cry bargain counters, no piles OF fine
candies, no cigar stands. Business
goes much more swiftly than abroad.
There is no lingering or lettering"
Truly a superficial Observer It
has been said that the barroom IN the
club of the poor man. Certain up
nfters," regarding the barroom as q
necessary evil, wish to make It decent,
tolerable, educational.
To many a corner drug store" Is
q club This one haunts the soda wa
ter fountain; that one buys cigars
or candy. There are habitues who
drop in regularly. They call the pro-
prietor DOC" The clerks are ad-
dressed by their first name. There
Is talk about the ball game, the shows
at the theaters, politics, local and ma
tional. There is gathering at night
that disperses only at the closing hour.
There is mysterious conversation in
corner; the two men stand with
their heads close together.
Now and then a blatant person
tells a story, beginning: Il heard a
good one this morning. Stop me, if you
know it."
The drug store in the city is what
the store Is in the village. After all,
the talk is practically what you hear
in any club. The essential difference
between the institutions is that there
is no election committee for admis
sion to the shops. Man is ciubable
animal, normally gregarious. At night
lights attract him. During the sum-
mer, seated near the fount Of min

CALLS HUNGER A SENSATION
feet Of "GnawIng" When Stom-
ach Ia Empty.

The most commonplace and familiar
facts are often hard to explain. We
see things happening constantly about
us and yet never stop to consider
whether we understand them or not.
Hanger Ia an example.
Every one knows that If you go
without food for six or eight hours
you Will feel "gnawing" sensation in
the pit Of the stomach persistently de-
handing food. The cause Of this has
been often explained, but not salts
factorily, and as often contradtcted
DR.. William B. Cannon of the Har-
ward Medical school has just COM
pleted a series Of experiments which
have demonstrated the direct cause
of the "gnawing" sensation. First Of
all he showed the distinction between
appetite and hunger. Appetite Is
evoked by the odor Of savory food or
by partaking of bitters. 1t may con-
tinue long after actual hunger Is en-
tirely satiated.
Hunger is distinctly a sensation. It
frequently is felt when the system Is
really over-supplied with food and
conversely it may be appeased by
very small amount Of food even
though the system Is emaciated.
If food is altogether withheld for
an indefinite period the sensation of
hunger disappears after the third day,
and does not return again even
though the patient dies by starvation.
This is a relief to many persons, to
feel that starvation, though dreadful
and CHASTITY in it's consequences, is not
necessarily painful.
DR.. Cannon's X-ray experiments
showed that under normal conditions
when the stomach has been empty
for few hours it has a tendency to
spasmodic contractions lasting for
minute or more with intervening Pc
RODS of relaxation. And these peri
DDS Of muscular action were shown
to correspond exactly with the feel
ing Of the sensation of hunger. The
results of the experiment show plain
~ that mere emptiness of the stom-
ach is not the direct cause of hun
ger, but that this muscular action is.

Of humble life:
"Off toward the east, dawn trembied

as If the earth were lighting the hori-
zon, a pearlish light shotted with pink.
A smatterfng of stars fingered and
trembled as though cold. They paled;
dawn grew pinker, and the black vii
lage, with it's naked trees standing
darkly against the sky, sent up wispy
spirals Of smoke. A derrick in the

tons thick upon it, that might pass,
with folk decently kind, as pretty
good-or If not as good, at least as
pretty, which is always something.
Indeed, any word less dreadful, even
by only little, could have been for
given by critics not morbidly cap
tious, for the sake Of the reference to
stars that "trembled as though cold"
while they fingered in the dawn.
It took a real poet to see and say
that, and the reader to whom It doesn't

accuracy will live and die an Old Pig.
