All Have Three Forms.

All things in the world have three
forms; these are gaseous, liquid and
solid. Everything is moving from one
of these forms into another. For in
stance, the sputum is liquid. Dried
in the open air, It soon becomes q
solid. Then, pulverized, it Is taken up
by the air and circulates in minute
dust particles, some of which are too
small to be seen.

To Make Bandages.

Bandages can be prepared from the
good parts Of worn sheets or pillow
slips If perfectly clean. Rolls six to
eight yards In length are most con-
venient-one inch wide for fingers, two
inches for feet, two and one-half to
three inches for head and arms and
four inches for legs. A good way of
keeping them in condition for use is
to seal the rolls in perfectly clean
glass fruit jar.

Insect Feions Death.

The deathwatch beetle has the in
variable habit of feigning death when
seized or disturbed. The stimulation
is so persistent that when immersed
in water, or even In alcohol, the in
sect remains perfectly immovable, and
will allow itself to be burned alive
rather than betray itself. The tick
made by the deathwatch resembles
that made by tapping the finger nail
upon the table-so much SO that the
insect may be led to recommence his
sounds by doing this.

AGED MANS DANCES COSTLY
Civil War Veteran Says He Had to
Pay Woman $500

Philadelphia, July 21.-Josephine
Gertrude Mace, wife of Fred Mace, a
moving picture star. is facing charges
in Magistrate McLeary's court, in
which she and two others, Ultan
Johnson, her brother. and Mrs. Rob-
ert Buchanan, are accused of conspir-
ing to defraud Harrison Campion, a
Civil War veteran, out of upward of
$500.
In the charges, upon which a sched-
uled hearing was Indefinitely post
poned Tuesday, the assertion was
made that Mrs. Mace. who is said to
have been a member Of the "F1oro-
dora Sextette." had agreed to dance
classically for Campion's benefit.
Campion's lawyer said that the first
dance came up to expectations. but
that the second dance was far below
par, Campion's grievance being that
Mrs. Mace wore too many garments.
Campion said that he was forced
to sign a paper in which he stated
that he voluntarily gave Mrs. Mace
5000. This is supposed to have been
the price originally set for the classic
dances"
