Term He Understood.

A New York divine had occasion, in
his early days, to officiate at a chris
tening in a small fishing village in
Massachusetts. The proud father,
young fisherman, awkwardly holding
his first born daughter, was visibly
embarrassed under the scrutiny Of the
many eyes in the congregation, and
his nervousness was not decreased by
the sudden wailing of the infant as
they stood at the font.
When the time for baptism arrived
the clergyman noticed that the father
was holding the child so that its fat
legs pointed toward the font.
Turn her this way" he whispered.
But the father was too disconnected to
hear or understand.
Turn her feet around" the minister
whispered again, but there was no re-
Spouse.
The situation was fast becoming
critical, when an old seaman in the
back of the church came to the res
cue. Putting his weatherbeaten hand
to his mouth, he reared across the
room: Head her into the wind, Tom.

How Clouds Are Colored.

The color of a cloud depends on the
manner in which the sunlight falls
upon it and the position of the obser-
yer. 1t will be noticed that high
clouds are always white, or light in
color, and this is because the light by
which they are seen is reflected from
the under surface by the numberless
drops of moisture which go to form
the cloud.
Heavy rain clouds, on the other
hand. are found much nearer the
earth, and so the light falls on them,
more directly from above, giving sill
yer lining to the cloud, though the I'M
der surface appears black, owing to
the complete reflection and absorption
of the light by the upper layers. Seen
from above by an observer in a bal
loon the blacklist rain clouds appear
of the most brilliant white.

WHERE MONEY IS USELESS
No Cash Is Needed in the Island of
Observation-Disclosures Called Al
most Perfect.

The island Of Ascension, in the At
lantic, belonging to Great Britain, is
of volcanic formation, eight miles by
six in size, and has a population of
about 450. 1t was uninhabited until
the confinement of Napoleon at st.
Helena, when it was occupied by
small British force. It is 250 miles
northward of ST. Helena. Vast num-
bers of turtles are found on the shores
and it serves as depot and watering
place for ships.
Ascension is governed by captain
appointed by the British admiralty.
There is no private property in land,
no rents, no taxes and no use for
money. The focks and herds are pub
lie property and the meat is issued as
rations. So are the vegetables grown
on the farms. When an island fisher
man makes a catch he brings it to the
guardroom, where it is issued by the
sergeant major. Practically the en-
tire population are sailors, and they
work at most of the common trades.
The muleteer is jack tar, so is the
gardener, so are the shepherds, the
stockmen, the grooms, masons, car
penters and plumbers. Even the
island trapper who gets rewards foI
| the tails of rats is a sailor.
The climate is almost perfect and

most unusual article by James Hay, jr., on
the working habits of the President of the
United States-an article that not only has
great general interest. but one that should
prove itself valuable to business and profess
sional workers throughout the country.
Making Money Out of Footsteps, by
Fred c. Kelly, will show the retailer how
to master the curious, though exact, sci
ence of placing his store in the path of the
customer. it shows, among other things,
how a breeze of wind will cut down cigar
profits by thousands of dollars, why the
neighborhood of a bank is a poor location
for retailer, why the less crowded side of
the street is often better for the seller of
various goods, and many points that the
shrewdest retailers in this country have
worked out by commercial mathematics.
The revolution in aeronautics brought
about by the war and the tremendous fu-

KNEW USE OF ANEsTHETIcs |
Conclusive Evidence That Ancient
Surgeons Were Familiar With
Methods of AiIeviatina Pain.

Those who imagine that surgical
knowledge began with later genera
tions, and that the discovery of
should read an article recently pub
lished by DR.. ]. de Fenton in the South
African Journal of Science.
Various anesthetizing media and
methods were well known both in
antiquity and during the Middle Ages.
Homer mentions the anesthetic eff
fects of nepenthe; Herodotus states
that the Scythians obtained similar
effects from the vapors of hemp, pro-
duced by throwing hemp seed on hot
stones. A Chinese physician of the
third century B. c. gave his patients
a preparation of hemp to make them
insensible during surgical operations.
The most important anesthetic of
ancient and medieval times was, how
ever, wine of mandragora, the use of
which mentioned by great number
of early writer's, and is referred to
by Shakespeare. More recently, in
the year 1760, the German surgeon
Weiss, better known as Albinus, am
putated the foot of Augustus III, king
of Poland, while under the influence
of mandragora.
Two other anesthetizing agencies
were employed in very early times,
viz, arterial compression and hyp-
notism.
1t is said that the ancient Assyr.
ians produced a lethargic state by
compression of the carotid artery be

Convicted of Conspiracy.

The trial of John Epperley and
Harve Allard, two young men from
Leon, who were indicted on the
charge of breaking into car OF
merchandise at the Leon depot and
stealing a barrel of beer, was held
in the United States Federal Court
at Creston last week, an indictment
having been returned against them
on the double charge of breaking
the seal and entering a car of an in.
ter-state shipment anu of conspiracy
The case was tried to a jury, the gov
ernment being represented by Claude
Porter, U. S. district attorney, and
the defendants were represented by
G. w. Hoffman and Marion Woodland
of Leon. After being out number
Of hours the jury returned a verdict
of guilty of conspiracy, ignoring the
charge of breaking and entering the
car. The defendants attorneys i'm
mediately filed a motion for a new
trial on the grounds of improper
statements made by prosecuting at
torney Porter to the jury, over the
protest of the attorneys for the de-
fense, and the matter has been taken
under advisement by Judge Wade,
but it is pretty certain that new
trial will be granted.

Auto Accident Near Lamont.

Last Friday evening there was a
serious auto accident northwest OF
Lamont. Harry Delaney and Andy
Yasaack, of Mt. Ayr, were driving to
Lamont to attend the show at the
Coliseum, and at a point in the road
west of the farm home of c. T..
Rhoades there is hedge fence in
the road which has caused trouble
before, which makes it appear that
the road ends there, and in attempt
ing to make the turn around it the
car in which the young men were rid
ing was overturned. Mr.. Delaney
was severely cut about the face and
lips, and both the young men were
painfully bruised. DR.. Hills, of La
mcni, was summoned and Delaney
was taken to his home and his in
juries attended to, it being necessary
to take about fifteen stitches in clos
ing the cuts. The auto was badly
broken up, one wheel being demolish-
ed. wind shield smashed and the car
vas badly smashed. The escape OF
the young men from death is consid-
cred miraculous by those who visited
the scene of the accident and viewed
the wrecked car.
