Orange, N. J.: Dr. William L' Holt, health officer of South Orange wrote the following letter to W. M. Franklin, president of the Peoples Bank of East Orange:

The request of valdez and Fair banks newspapers that the people of Alaska back up the suggestion of Col Richardson that congress be asked to appropriate enough money to complete the coast to Fairbanks automobile road should be granted. Col. Richardson estt- mates that $t,OOO a milo would be ample to make a fairly good auto mobile road of the long highway.
 While the road from the coast to Fairbanks has already been of in estImabIe value to the people of The interior, it is not rendering them the service that it would if enough money could be expended on it to provide a good automobile road-oue that would permit the reduction of two or three days in ths time necessary to make a trip over It, reduce the discomfort of passengers, increase the carrying capacity of automobiles, make it less destructive to vehicles and less costly 10 all concerned. The sum necessary to complete the road -S8S5,0OO-is comparatively small one, when one considers that it's expenditure would add i'm msasureably to the efficiency of the far greater sum that has been expended already.

When Bathing Was Rare.

In some old English court men,
oirs Of the eighteenth century it is
stated that when George ~. was a
baby he was bathed only once a
fortnight. That was thought to be
plenty often enough in those days
for a child to be washed. When
one of Georges little sisters had
measles the royal mother gave most
careful instructions that the child's
linen was not to be changed too
soon, as she feared that some care
less attendant would clothe it in
garments insuficiently aired and so
'drive in the rash." In those days
people were much afraid of clean
linen and bathing. It was believed
the complete bodily additions were
weakening, yet prince, peer and
peasant alike called in at every all
ment the doctors of the period, who
bled them into a state of weakness
and sometimes death.

Mothers must remember in choosing

boy with the best manners is not the
one with the finest character. Often
children from the finest families are

to have. but an upright, fine character

Upside Down Rainbows.

MOI very many persons have ever
seen an inverted rainbow, although
tho phenomenon sometimes appears.
At the Italian geodynamic observa-
tory of Rocca de Papa the director
and a party Of visitors were fortu-
nate enough to see one. The morn
ing was showery, and as the party
looked down from an elevation OF
1890 feet they saw in the Campag-
ma a perfect rainbow upside down.
From the Eihel tower in Paris one
has also been seen, in this case the
rainbow being double and extend
ing above and below the horizon to
form two concentric circles nearly
complete. Generally the inverted
rainbow is to be seen only in the
mountains and then very rarely.
The phenomenon, of course, is due
merely to the position of the observ-
or, which must be above the refract-
ing agent instead of below.

~ .--EI. .. g.
. A two legged chair does not seem as
if it might be; very substantial, but this
two legged chair is built in conjunc.
ton with a table; so that it can be re
lied upon to support any person whose.
weight is not abnormal. One Of the
two legs is secured to the horizontal
bar of the iron table. which supports
a sewing machine or typewriter, and
in this manner the scat is held in an
upright position. while the weight of
the person is supported by the other
leg. 1t will he readily seen how the
table really takes the place of the third
leg. which is usually required to sup
port Il stool. There are two advan-
tages in this style of construction. In
the first place the seat is always just
right with its relationship to the work
on hand. and in the second place 1t
permits of a folding arrangement by
which the seat may be entirely dis
posed of under the table when not in
use.

VICTIMS OF SUPERSTITION.

Curious and Deadly "veIs": Rites In the.
Solomon islands. .
One of the most extraordinary
practices among the natives Of
Guadalcanar, in the Solomon is
lands, is the use of what is known
as the %''vele," which is supposed to
have the power of causing death to
the person against whom it is en-
ployed. The ''vele" has the appear
ance of a baby's small wicker work
rattle and is generally inclosed in
a little bag, which is again carefully
placed in a bamboo box, zealously
guarded by the owner.
When the latter wishes to cause
the death of an enemy he takes the
"vele" between the little finger and
the second finger Of the left hand,
and then searches for the object of
his hate, looking carefully to right
and left to make sure he is observed
by no one.
Having found his enemy he stands
at full height, stretching out his
arm and the tfvelc" toward him, at
the same: time turning his face
from him, and kissing out various
curses. The bewitched man then
turns to see who has Kissed. The
''vcle" man then turns away, hold
inu the .svolr" behind him. still
pointing to his enemy, who comes
running toward him, apparently un-
consciously, and staggers round him.
The "vele" man then turns round,
and with the ''velc" makes a move
ment toward his enemy's right and
left breast, knees, toes, the small
of the back, shoulder blades and
temples. The "vclc' mar then calls
to his enemy to sit up" go to the
village and say. 81 have 'veled' you,"
at the same time naming the time
when the "vele" will begin to work.
Such is the belief in the power of
the "vele" that at the hour men
toned a man who has been "veled''
is convulsed in a delirium, appar-
emily of fright, enduring great pain
in the parts indicated by the ''vele'
man. Death very quickly ensues,
and when the "vcle" man hears the
cries of mourning he returns to his
own village.
No one has ever been able to TX
plain in what mysterious manner
the "vcle" acts as a death dealing
instrument, but the key to the mys-
terry seems to lie in the abnormal
superstition of the Melanesian ma
tive.--Wide World Magazine.

son. Ia, six years ago, Cochran is said

The pennies made as Il newsboy were

he removed to Chicago to attend Lane
Technical college. from which he will
soon be graduated.
He is not only taking the full course
at the college. but has been taught the
finer points of billiards during his time.
In Chicago he is recognized as the
most promising cue wielder of the
city. Under able instructors his faults
have been corrected. and he has made
remarkable progress in the technique
of the game. His development has
been SO rapid that he is now consider
ed a more skillful player than Willie

u Works Wonders In Helping to Start
.the Day Alright. tx
If y dinner smile is worth a dol
lar, a breakfast smile is surely
worth two, for then the need is
more than twice as great. In many
homes breakfast is a disordered
rout, with time in hot pursuit. It
rs merely an interruption in the
flight from bedroom to Office, school
or shop. And where haste is the
rule it is no wonder that facetious
witticisms fly quick and true and
that things are said which cause
unpleasant recollections, when an
hour later the day is in full swing
and the mind has lost its abnormal
constituencies. =
4 Happily, the haste that engen-
,ders satirical gibes also serves to
mitigate their severity, and by the
time the family is assembled for
the next meal much that was said
in haste at breakfast is forgotten.
But not all of it. A. chance remark
uttered without thought is very
likely to open an old wound and
send some member Of the family
about his business with a crouch
that will make his day one Of pain
to him and his associates.
1t is this occasional shift that
condemns the whole practice of Civ
ing way to petty annoyances at
breakfast time. One way to avoid
it is to get up ten minutes earlier.
This affords time for leisurly dress
ing and an opportunity to put the
mind in order. Another, and a bet
ter way, is to rise with a song on
your lips. Let it be a raucous croak,
sadly out Of tune, if you can do no
better, but be sure that it is a
merry song. And for the person
who has a strong mind and a modi-
cum of will power there is the sim
pie plan of resolving to be pleasant.
But whatever the scheme, it's sue
cess will bring a new and fresher
outlook to the experimenter. MOI
will it affect him alone.-Indianap-
