Mr. Harold Begbie quotes in The
Happy Irish,' an amusing story that
he got from the doctor of "a little
town that he visited in the course of
his tour of Ireland:

by peasant from an outlying village

NOT SUCH A BAD OLD WORLD
GIimpses of Light Easy to Find Even
to Those Confirmed in
Pessimism.

1t does not require battles to bring
out the finer side Of human nature
the side always nearer to the surface
Of the Individual than the cynic is
willing to admit.
In the everyday round we see fre
quent exhibitions of 1t. Here is q
sample sent me by a Philadelphia
business man:
Il was walking with my wife in the
country on the outskirts of Burling-
ton, N. j., last Sunday, and we no.
ticed ahead of us a. man leading BY
the hand little boy.
"The little boy wore one OF those
metal braces, running from his hip to
his foot, and the poor little fellow was
hobbling along as best he could, with
the help of the man. AS we caught
up with the pair, the man stopped and
did something to the brace and then
told us In broken Italian that he
found the kid lying in the road cry
ing, and had learned that he wan
dered from home, about half mile,
and while playing he had fallen and
broken his brace.
Then he told us he had 'fxa d fixa'
as best he could and was taking him
home.
Then they started out and the lit.
tie beggar reached up his little hand
to the poor Italian and they started
off together. The man said, Take it
easy, son, we got let's O. time.
From fields of war to roadsides of
peace the story is the same. Where
the smoke of battle darkens the sun
set and where the thin stream that
curls upward from the home fireside
beribbons the evening sky, the heart
of the average person ever is ready
to respond to the call of human suf-
| fering. even though it come from one
who an hour before was despised as
AN enemy.
With all its faults and shortcom-
ings-which are our faults and short
comings this is q pretty good world.

yield 10000 volts. choke coil and Tesla coil
were used The whole thing was connected up so
that by means of antennae current from the wire
network was the network of sprinkling pipes,
which, of course, furnished proper connection with
the ground
By the latter part of last July the system in
readiness and the currents were tested. At that
time pressure of $1,000 volts obtained and the
frequency of the osciatory currents estimated
to be about thirty thousand cycles second. Birds
alghting on the wires stunned and thrown
the ground, but none killed
The ground was planted to radishes lettuce, beets
cabbages, cucumbers. turnps muskmelons, water
melons, tomatoes, parsnips, beans, peas, corn and
tobacco All were planted in running east and
west so that one-half of each row was electrified
and the other half not.
AS result it was found that practically all the
plants in the electrified area grew much more rap
idly than those out of it, In almost every case the
electrified vegetables ripe two weeks carrier

the young man with brown shoes and

She is not in, SIR answered the
maid, with a glibness that told of long
practice in the ways of deceit.

youth, nervously twisting a mustache

PITTsBURGH's YOUNG DAYS
December 8, 1918, Is Date That Is
Factor in History of Famous
City.

On December 3, 1918. and for sew
eral days preceding and succeeding'
Pittsburgh was peculiarly agitated in
regard to transportation by river and
turnpike. This might almost have
been written that "our rivers are SO
low that navigation is very difficult

ministration at Washington was
brought into the transportation mat
ter, and mails were sent from Balti-
more, Washington, Alexandria. Ha-
gersto n and Cumberland by the
Wheeling route, and actually arrived
at Pittsburgh by the western carrier"
In December, 1918, it was boasted in
the little Wheeling prints: Poor
Pittsburgh, your day is over; the
scepter of influence and wealth is to
travel to US; the Cumberland road has
done the business" and chapters more

of merchandise lying along our
shores" Great pressure had been
brought to bear in favor of turnpikes
which would better Baltimore, Cum
berland and Wheeling rather than
Pennsylvania towns, and Pittsburgh
was made target for ahtagonism
which had southern feeling for some
thing of it's inspiration, one of the
bases of it being the long-standing dis
pute in regard to the boundary be-
tween Virginia and Pennsylvania
which at one time almost led to min
iature war, with Pittsburgh for its

or death to the bone
Removal of the jaw sometimes IS
necessary if the life of a patient is to
be saved. 1t always results in great
disagreement, as well as serious inter
ference with swallowing and speech.
A surgeon attached to the hospital
said the suggestion of using silver
wire for building up an artificial jaw
was an idea worth the most serious
attention He added:
Under certain circumstances we can
remove the jaw, but leave the perl

The electrified end
of the tobacco crop was
cut and it was found
that each plant weighed
1857 grams. 1t was two
weeks before the un-
treated tobacco could
be cut and then 1t
w e ig h e d only 1852

Taking into considera-
ton that the most rapid
growth of the tobacco
plant is in its last two
weeks before ripening,
the experimenters esti-
mated that the actual
increase in weight of
the plants in the cleo
trified zone was 20 per
cent greater than that
in the unelectrified
zone. If this could be
followed out on a grand

there soon will begin a process OF
bone growth from the periosteum,
