Why Glass Cracks.

You have learned by experience that cold water will crack hot glass. or hot water cold glass. But did you know that thick glass will crack much more readily under such treat. ment than a thin glass? When hot water strikes cold glass. for example. the heat of the water is quickly com. municated to the glass next it. caus. ing the glass to expand. If the glass Is thin, the heat is quickly communi- cated to both sides of the glass so that they expand together without damage. But if the glass is thick the heat is slow in getting through and the side next the hot water expands so much more rapidly than the other side that the glass is cracked.-The Ameri- can Boy.

Bealnnlna of "Reuter's."

Reuters the European news agency, had curious beginning. Baron Reu. ter long nursed an idea for organizing the supply of foreign news in identical terms to all the newspapers, but edi. tors gave him no encouragement. At last he determined to risk things, and arranged with correspondents all over Europe. When their messages began to come in he took them round person. ally to the newspaper offices and of fered them for nothing, on condition that his name shoulG be printed against them. "Try them for von month";" he urged. If they not satis. fly you, veil. to you it signify noth. ing" One editor after another did try them. with such results that when Reuter- preached the subject of sub scription rates his demands were read fly complied with.

Nuts as Food.

Nuts form a very concentrated form of food in many cases more so than cheese, and when rationally used they are readily digested and form a part of a well-balanced ration. Nuts are plentiful in many localities and should not be allowed to go to waste. A pound of walnuts will produce almost three times as much energy as a pound of steak. Such being the case, would not the use of considerable quantity of walnuts. butternuts. and hickory nuts be a valuable addition to the households supply of provisions?

 importance of Work.
 A nOS1JlVc llle IS WlChcu Alc Someone has said mo angel ever ap- peared to a man who was not at work" You cannot make man good by keeping him idle. "I must bs about my Fathers business," said Christ il. the temple. That Is the gospel of ev- cry man who is loyal to his own soul. is the comment of the Ohio State Journal There is no excuse for idle. ness. Work, like virtue, religion. faith, is from within. The impulse toward the right is what keeps a man at work, and if he is not at work he lacks the impulse. His religion is too weak to exert itself. A positive life is the only true life. Nor Is mere altruism the only form of work. It is as much a mans duty to help himself as 1t is tc help others, so that help Is upbuilding which IS the very condition of one's being a benefit to others. A man who loves roses, sunsets, stars, creeks trees, birds, Is a friend of humanity Loving Gods beautiful world includes man, or it is false love. Not tC love these creations of goodness and grace denotes a negative life that is positively wicked.

NEW DECATUR

New Decatur, July 22.-(Special)-In a formal statement today, the Morgan coun- ty board of health placed itself on record as opposing so-called "pellagra cures" when the board issued card to the coun- ty grand jury, in opposition to the in quisitorial body's recommendation that several patients at the county poor farm be allowed to take the pellagra treatment, free of charge, in return for which the patients were to furnish testimonials as to the "curative powers of the treat ment. The offer came from a south Ala bama physician.
 The board of health declares that after scientific researches, their conclusion was formed and that the grand jury in recom- mending that the patient be allowed to take the "cure." exceeded the limits of its duty and acted foolishly and unjustly to the people.

Gift was lowered over the 90-foot precipice by means of a block and tackle after he had been fastened in the trunk The trunk was weighted until it sank under the water and according to the programme Gift was to appear on the surface in 40 seconds. Something went wrong and frantic efforts were being made to raise the trunk when he finally succeeded in extracting himself from the perlious posi- tion. He was exhausted when he reached shore and his condition dispelled the sup position that he had done the trick on pur- pose to thrill the spectators.

REM ARKABLE BLIND MAN
 OF THE COLORED RACE
SOCIAL SERVICE DEPARTMENT By MRS. SIDNEY NJ. ULLMAN

Mrs. Della H. Horn of Greensboro has sent to the social service depart ment the following interesting account of very remarkable blind man in this state. With the knowledge that through education even the blind can be made supporting, and as interested citizens we should assist the present school to the highest attainments. The school at Talladega is asking the legislature to grant a large appropriation per capita and it is hoped this will be done, so that the school will be able to take large number of pupils and give them the ad- vantages of literary and industrial education of the highest order.
 Mrs. Horn says:

When we reached home she wrote on her tab a few questions and not one of them could 1 answer; then she answered them herself-the names of makers and where made, the stoves, washing ma chimes, bathroom outfits, carpet sweep CTS, and in fact everything.
 Although this was the first and only time she had ever walked our main street, she astonshed me by supplying me with copy of all the merchants s signs in order. both on the right and left hand side of our street.
 Up in the Empire state I have a lit tie relative who has been blind from his birth.
 His father took this little 7-year- old into the city to visit a blind school. The school was demonstrating how sap was obtained for the making Of maple sugar
 "The youngster felt of the little pail and the toy tree, then shook his head and said: That feels like a pine tree and l wish they would tell me how they expect to draw the sap without any spigot?
 The request was sent out for the names of Alabamas blind. It was not stated whether the names of negroes was desired. l happened to know only one blind man in Alabama, and he be- longs to the dark race, James E.
