WHAT ACCESSORIES WILL DO
Have Very Great and Definite Value
In the Scheme Of Things, Ac-
cordlng to Writer.

1--WE can only live once, and the
more we live the better" wrote Fflson
Young, English novelist, "and / find
upon examination that the passion for
accessories is only an expression OF a
passion for life.
4 mot to follow UP those engaging by
ways Of temptation is to miss a great
deal of agreeable and accidental infor-
nation and knowledge of the kind that
makes life full and interesting.
"You can press the button OF your
camera and send your films to be de-
veloped and remain unenlightened,
but If you equip yourself with half it's
accessories, photography will lead you
far into the sciences of physics and
chemistry.
IT you have horse and some one
to look after him, you need not
occupy yourself very much about his
needs; but if you have this interest in
accessories and take pleasure in
thinking not how little, but how much,
you can do toward making your horses
stable a kind of shrine, 1t will not
only bring you nearer to him and
make you understand him better, but
Z it will make you understand great
many other things, such as the rota-
ton of crops and the working Of
leather.

thing itself is the center; they are
leads and links which take us out from
ourselves (and at our own expense) IN
to the surrounding life of the world"

KNEW IT HAD TO BE DONE
Rule In Mathematics Puzzled Farmer,
Though He Recognized Necessity
for lite Observance.

A New York engineer was survey
ing the route Of branch line for
railway system. An old farmer with
whom he stopped for~a time admitted
one day, when he saw the engineer
figuring in the field, that mathematics
always seemed a wonderful thing to
him. 2
Being young and enthusiastic, the
engineer began to enlarge upon its
wonders, telling the farmer how we
could measure the distances to diff
ferent planets and even weigh the
planets; how we could foretell the
coming of a comet or an eclipse years
in advance of its actual occurrence,
determine the velocity OF the swiftest
projectiles, ascertain the heights Of
mountains without scaling them, and
many other things meant to astonish
the old man.

irish KINGS Their Ancestors


There are more than two hundred
and twenty-five Hogans listed in the
Philadelphia directory and they say
that the Boston Hogan who wanted
the probate court to make him Ho-
man is the only one of the clan who
was ever ashamed of his name.
Ashamed Of the name of Hogan!"
exclaims one of them. Shades of the
Princes Of Crioch Clan! Why, the
Hogans are descendants of Irish kings.
Cosgrach was the second son of Lor-
can the one hundred and third king
of Thormond Stem, and was the an
cestor of the family. Crioch Clan of
which they were chiefs, was a terri
tory in the principality of Ormond.
The Hogans had fortified residence
at Ardcromy, parish in the barony
of Lower Ormond, and they had an
other at Ballylusky, In the same terri
tory. That was in ancient times"

MANKIND's DEBT TO BIRDS
Work Done by Winged Carriers of
Seeds Is as General Thing
Underestimated.

Now and then we see thriving bit
Of grass or Towering plant perched
In some impossible niche, high in a
wall or chimney. Sometimes the wind
has carried the seed there and with
the help of little dust and some rain,
the seed has found sufficient encour-
agement to sprout.
But it is not SO often the wind as it
is the birds. who have deposited the
seed. Sometimes 1t has dropped from
their beaks in flight, but more aften 1t
has passed undigested through the In
testines and falls well fortified to
sprout. This is especially true in dry
seasons, when the birds swallow less
grit and SO the seeds swallowed are
not so readily ground up.
If 1t were not for the birds our
Christmas supply of mistletoe and
holly would be very scarce, as In the
case of the parasite mistletoe especial.
ly, the seeds from the berries would
rarely, without birds help, find their
way up to the limbs of trees, where
they can attach themselves to the bark
and gain the needed assistance.

RARE AND MAJESTIC BEAUTY
John MuIr's Tribute TO tho FascIna-
ton Of the Yosemite Worth Hold
Ing In Memory.

No temple made with hands can
compare with Yosemite. wrote the late
John Muir. Every rock in its walls
seem to glow with life. Some lean
back In majestic repose: others, abso-
luteIy sheer, or nearly so, for thou
sands of feet, advance beyond their
companions In thoughtful attitudes,
giving welcome to storms and Gains
alike. seemingly aware, yet needless
Of everything going on about them.
Awful In stern, immovable majesty,
how softly these rocks are adorned
and how 1ne and reassuring the com
pany they keep; their feet among the
beautiful groves and meadows, their
brows in the sky, thousand flowers
leaning confidently against their feet,
bathed In foods of water, floods of
light, while the snow and waterfalls,
the winds and avalanches and clouds
shine and sing and wreathe about
them as the years go by. and myriads
of small-winged creatures-birds, bees,
butterfiies-give glad animation and
help to make all the air into music.
Down through the middle of the valley
flows the crystal MERGED. River of
Mercy, peacefully quiet, rejecting
lilies and trees and the Unlocking
rocks; things frail and feeting and
types of endurance meeting here and
blending in countless forms, as If into
this one mountain mansion nature had
gathered its choicest treasures to
draw her lovers into close and confid-
ing communion with her.

FLUENCY NOT ALWAYS THERE
Even Orators Recognized as Great
Were Sometimes at Loss for
the Right Word.

The difficulties which Demosthenes
surmounted before he became great
orator are tolerably familiar to most
readers, but 1t Is not SO well known
that many of our modern great orators
did not reel of their speeches as flu
emily as they appear in print.
Henry Clay was never at a loss for a
word, or "boggled" while speaking.
With Mr.. Webster it was different, and
he often would hesitate and then rub
his nose with the bent knuckles of his
right thumb.
Mr.. Calhoun, when at loss for a
word. would give petulant twist at
his large. turned-oyer shirt collar, and
then run his bony fingers through his
long, gray hair until it stood up like
the hair on an electric toy.
Mr.. Benton would sink his voice and
humble something that no one could
understand, and General Cass would
Jaw! aw!" in the English style, pass
ing his hand beneath the lower edge
of his capacious white waistcoat.
Mr.. Webster was almost invariably
stuck" when he attempted to use a
Latin quotation, and when Mr.. Everett
was in the senate he used invariably to
appeal to him.
Some of the present day orators have
a very poor delivery, but it does not
really matter. 1t Is the sense of the
speech and not the style that makes an
impression.

POOR SPORT FOR THE HUNTER
Hippopotamus Hard to "5ag," and
Really Worth Little When He
Has Been Secured.

There are two ways of bagging a
hippopotamus, says a writer in the
Wide World. and neither is justified
unless the sportsman is sorely in want
Of food, for its meat is very poor in
deed, and wants good deal of prepa-
ration to be palatable to anyone ex-
cept the starving. It has a taste
can only describe as fishy-something
of what beef would taste like after be-
ing wrapped up for a couple Of days
with Scotch paddock of doubtful
freshness. The hippo may be shot in
water; when mortally wounded he
will sink, and will not reappear on
the surface for several hours, conse-
quently firing lookout has to be
kept for the carcass. If he is only
slightly wounded he may charge, but
more often he will fee and die in the
reeds, to serve as food for scayenger
birds or crocodiles. The other and
more sporting way is to shoot him on
land. This is, as a rule, only possible
at night, or late in the evening OF
early in the morning. It would not
be wise to find oneself between the
river and the wounded hippo, for he
at once makes for the water by the
shortest route, and he goes SO fast
that getting out Of his way requires
pretty speedy feet and great coOlness

NEW THEORY AS TO SHOCK
Medical Man Points Out Some Flaws
In Beliefs That Have Been Gen.
orally Accepted.

In an article on intestinal stasis
printed In the Medical Record, DR..
Frank R. Starkey of Philadelphia adj
vanoed new hypothesis as to what
SHOCK" Is.
What is this mysterious condition
of depression which we call shock"
he asked. in view of the radical
changes that have taken place in our
understanding of physics since the
advent of the electronic theory we
know that the different physical mani
festations of matter are simply diff
ferenoes in the vibration of the COM
ponent electrons. The difference be-
tween the individuality of persons is
not merely one of physiognomy or cor
poreal peculiarities, but their person
atty depends upon the rate of their
electronic vibrations. The human
body is naught else but an aggrega-
ton Of cells, each a world within
itself. made up Of various components
which are finally composed of cleo
irons vibrating in perfect unison and
the entire organization attuned to vi
brate In one harmonious whole.
''In view of all this, why should It
not be reasonable and rational to de-
fine shock as disturbance In the nor
NAL vibrations OF the electrons Of the
organism? This would certainly con-
form to our recent knowledge"

ACTION OF TRIGGER FINGER
In lts Operation Writer Points Out
How Much It Resembles q
Pocket Knife.

"The peculiar action Of a trigger
finger resembles that seen when a
pocket knife is opened or shut" writes
DR.. Adoniram B. Judson. in reporting
such case to the Lancet Movement
Is smooth till a square shoulder at
the near end of the blade presents an
obstacle which retards motion till a
certain point is reached, which mo-
ton is accelerated with Jerk.
"A counterpart of this obstacle may
be found perhaps in a node on an ar
ticular surface, where it would cause
the hating action Of a trigger finger.
In the construction of a knife, how
ever, an important feature is present
which is absent from the anatomy
Of the hand, and that is the strong
steel spring concealed in the handle of
the knife. 1t produces positive pres
sure between the surfaces composing
the metallic joint. If the spring were
absent, or If its place were taken by a
strip of some inert substance like
cork, there would be no Jerk, and shut
ting and opening the knife would be
perfectly smooth.
while there is nothing very close
ly resembling a steel spring in the
hand or forearm, still we may find in
muscular action force which draws
the surfaces together and creates a
pressure comparable with that pro-
duced by the steel spring"

sInkInn of Wreoka

Very little is known as to the depth
to which ship will sink, as the
depth at which observations can be
made is limited. Any statement on
the matter must be in the nature Of
conjecture. In the case of wooden
ships, many did not sink. but became
waterlogged and foated for years a
short distance below the surface, con-
shutting serious danger to navi-
cation. The more modern types Of
vessels have occasionally aoated for
some time in this way, being aban
doned perhaps because Of leak. but
sinking eventually. A modern hnef
which sinks certainly goes to the bot
tom In any instance where the nee
essary observation Is possible. The
greatest known depth of the ocean is
about FIVE and one-half miles, and the
average. save in the Arctic and
Antarctic oceans where the water is
shallower, would be from two to three
miles. It is a debatabIe point wheth-
or q liner sinks to the ocean bed In
that depth, but when badly damaged,
as In the case Of the Titanic, 1t Is prob
able that she goes great distance
below the surface and may even reach
the bottom.

the scandalous scenes which took
