Service Is a Hard One.

Most naval air mechanics are ac-
complished swimmers, and possess a
constitution of iron. When the navy's
great seaplanes are launched the me-
chanics generally have to wade up to
their necks into the water to
maneuver the machine from the shore.
To. plunge into icy cold water in the
half light of dawn is not a pleasant
task, yet it is one which the sailor
mechanics have to carry out almost
daily. In rough seas the waves break
over their heads, and the seap]ane
they are maneuvering is tossed about
like cork. Yet in true naval spirit
the mechanics of the naval air serv-
ice carry out their hazardous duties
cheerfully.

CANNOT "CATCH' DISEASE
That tuberculosis is Not Contagious
Has Been Proved-is Promoted
by Insanitary Conditions.

The word tuberculosis is deril ed
from tuber, a Latin word, meaning a
hump, or knob OF dubious growth. In
the vegetable world the word tuber
is applied to potatoes, which are but
bous outgrowths from the roots, and
to some other plant growths of sim
liar formation. From tuber comes
tubercle, little tuber or hump. and
from that tuberculosis. the technical
lied by the formation of tubercles in
different parts of the body, as the
lungs, bones, the intestines, the liver,
etc. What is now known to scien-
lists as the tubercle bacillus was not
discovered until about forty years ago,
and previous to that tuberculosis Of
the lungs was called consumption or
phthisis: tuberculosis of the bones
was scrofula, and other forms had
other names. Now tuberculosis en-
braces all forms of the disease, which
is characterized by the formation Of
tubercles. tuberculosis is not he
reditary in the sense of running IN
parents to children. 1t formerly was
considered as largely due to heredity,
but at the Berlin congress on tuDercu-
losis in 1899, Virchow, very high au-
thority, said: 81 dispute this heredity
absolutely" and he gave convincing
reasons for his belief Neither is the
disease contagious in the sense of be-
ing catching" 1t is due to the op-
erations of the tubercle bacillus as
developed and promoted by insanitary
conditions.

Beautiful Elad Flower.

Among the stateliest and proudest Of
the members of Americas flower fam
lily none excels the larger blue flag,
which also wears the names Of blue
iris and fleur-de-lis. Ruskin calls it
the flower of chivalry,. which has a
sword for its leaf and a lily for its
heart. LOngfellow pronounces it "a
flower born in the purple, to joy and
pleasance." 1t blooms in the wet, rich
marsh and meadow from May to July
ond finds its home from Newfound-
land and Manitoba to Florida and Ar
kansas. The flag flower must look to
the insect world entirely for its propa-
cation, particularly to the bees as its
pollen carriers. So it puts forth a
flower that is blue tinted, for its ex-
perience has taught it that a bee can
be wooed with blue better than with
any other color.-Pittsburgh Press.

years ago, claimed to be able to swal-

punity. Visitors to his entertainment
were requested to come provided with
phosphorus, arsenic and oxalic acid,
which he proceeded to consume before
their eyes, taking an antidote after
ward which was supposed to neutralize
their effects. Then, to show that he
was as impervious to heat as to poison,
he would take a raw leg Of lamb into
an oven heated to 300 degrees and re-
main inside until the joint was cooked,
when it was carved and handed around
to the audience. The performance
concluded by Chabert rubbing a red
hot shovel on his head and face and
allowing any one who wished TO drop
molten sealing wax on his tongue and

stuck closely to the branches. With
in these cones lie fertile seeds wait
ing for nature to set them free. The

What Becomes of That Cent?

getting, Of course, 10 cents for them.
Another farmer, also with thirty ap-

15 cents for his. They get 25 cents
in all.
The next time they come in, with
thirty apples apiece, they meet at the

having sold two for a cent, the other
three for a cent, they decide to sell
them five for cents.

The Common People.

Coronets. miters, military display,

huge empire are, in my view, all tri-
fles, light as air and not worth consid-
ering, unless with them you can have
a fair share of comfort, contentment
and happiness among the great body
Of the people. Palaces, baronial cas-
ties, great halls, stately mansions, do
not make n nation. The nation In ev-
cry country dwells in the cottage, and
unless the light of your constitution
can shine there. unless the beauty of
