BRUSHED CAR OFF HIS EAR
So Declared Owner When He Was De-
scribing His Escape After
/ Collision.

In telling the details later, William
"A. Lucas said he brushed the car off
his ear, but that was somewhat of an
exaggeration. He was explaining an
accident that occurred at Washington
street and Vermont avenue, when the
car in which he was riding with his
wife and her sister, Mrs. Kate Holmes,
all of 652 Towne avenue, was struck
amidships by an unknown motorist in
a powerful machine.
The small car which Mr.. Lucas was
driving was turned over, and Mr..
Lucas was thrown out, so he fell with
the full weight of the machine on his
head. The car was one of the light
ones about which so many jokes are
attempted.
By bracing himself Mr.. Lucas sue
ceeded in raising the machine enough
to escape. He was not seriously in
jured. Nor was his wife or sister-in-
law. All are more than sixty years
old.-Los Angeles Times.

Kisses for Charity.

Nearly ali the youth Of the neigh.

Leprosy In Boston.

A case of leprosy was discovered in
Boston few days ago. This makes
two cases within five weeks. The
latest victim is sailor, about seventy
two years old. He was born in the
United States and has followed the
sea for many years, having visited
Asiatic ports, where he evidently con-
tracted the disease. 1t is said that
his present illness began about ten
years ago, but that he never before
applied for treatment in Boston. When
he appeared at one of the local hos
pitals the case was recognized and
was reported to The health depart
ment. The other case of leprosy, that
of a dishwasher, was not diagnosed for
seven months, though the man was un-
der treatment much of the time at
the same hospital.

POTASH MADE OF FELDSPAR
Discovery, It is Said, VIII Enable
America to Produce All the
Amount Needed.

The European war has brought the
United States face to face with the
problem of supplying its own potash.
Several new methods of providing a
substitute for German fertilizers have
been brought to the attention of the
government. The most promising of
these is that patented by Canadian
which provides for the extracting of
potash from ordinary feldspar. The
feldspar is heated with limestone and
iron oxide at temperature of about
1900 degrees Fahrenheit which pro-
duces partly fused mass that is cas-
lily decomposed by weak acid. From
this product the potash salts can be
readily extracted for further purifica-
tion.
Another method of obtaining potash
will be tried out at New Orleans dis
tillery where molasses is used in large
quantities. In the distilleries where
nolasses is fermented it is said that
more than one hundred and six tons of
potash is wasted daily, and is it this
waste the New Orleans company is en-
deavoring to forestall. 1t is possible
to make fertilizer from this otherwise
worthless material at price that will
meet competition even after the war
is over.

PEASANT WITH TRUE VISION
Traveller Heard Robert Burns Praise
Washington, the American, for
His Patriotism.

A traveller exploring the wild beau
ty OF the Caves of Colzean in Scotland
met young peasant, who astonished
him by his poetic description of the
scene, according to Hugh Millers
Tales and Sketches" published in
Boston half century ago. A discus.
sion of literature and philosophy, as
we'll as nature, is concluded as fol.
lows, an exchange remarks:
Man." said my companion, should
love his species at all times, but it is
Ill with him If in times like these he
loves not his country more. The spirit
of war and aggression is yet abroad; !;
there are laws to be established,
rights to be defended, invaders to be
repulsed, tyrants to be, deposed. And
who but the patriot is equal to these
things? We are not yet done with the
Bruces, the Wallaces, the Tells, the
Washingtons-yes, the Washingtons,
whether they fight for us or against
us-we are not done with them. But
we are getting ashamed of our coun
try, Of our language, our manners, our
music, our literature; nor shall we
have enough of the old spirit left us
to assert our liberties or fight our bat
ties. Oh, for some Barbour or Blind
Harry of the present day, to make us
once more proud of our country"
quoted the famous saying OF
Fletcher of Saltoun, Let me make the
songs of country, and / will let you
make its laws"
But here,' l said, "is our lugger
stealing round Turnberry Head. We
shall soon part, perhaps forever, and
would fain know with whom have
spent an hour so agreeably, and have
some name to know him by. My own
name is Matthew Lindsay. / am a
native of Irvine"
And L. said the young man, rising
and cordially grasping the proffered
hand, "am native of Ayr. My name
is Robert Burns"

SCRIPTURE.


Now when he had ended all his say
ings in the audience of the people, he
entered into Capernaum.
And a certain centuriou's servant
who was dear unto him, was sick, and
ready to die.
And when he heard Of Jesus he sent
nnto him the elders of the Jews. be-
seeching him that he would come and
heal his servant.
/ And when they came unto Jesus
they besought him instantly, saying
That he was worthy for whom he
should do this:
For he loved our nation, and he
hath built us a synagogue.
Then Jesus went with them. And
when he was now not far from the
house, the centurion sent friends 10
him. saying unto him, Lord, troubl 2
not thy self; for am not worthy
that thou shouldest enter under my
roof.
Wherefore neither thought ! myself
worthy to come unto thee; but say
in word, and my servant shall be
healed.
For | also am a man set under au-
thority, having under me soldiers,
and | say unto one, go, and he goeth;
and to another, come, and he cometh;
and to my servant, do this, and he
doeth il.
When Jesus heard these things, he
marveled - him, and turned him
about and said unto the people that
followed him. say unto you, have
not found so great faith, no, not in
Israel
And they that were sent returning
to the house, found the servant whole

ATTEMPTED
Mysterious Vanished Race.

All that is ever likely to be known
of the aborigines of Newfoundland has
been printed by an antiquarian who
has made these vanished people the
study of his life. These mysterious
people were, it appears, not Eskimos
like some of the tribes in Doctor
Grenwell's parish" across the strait
in Labrador. The Eskimo has a squat
body, a fat face and a nose hardly
large enough to be called such. But
this race was tall and long limbed.
while such skulls as have been pre-
served show the bones of noses rather
of the Roman than the Tartar sort.

KEEPING ONES TEMPER.

One of the best health command
ments a person can obey IS: KeeI
your temper
AS rule, when people are advised
10 keep their temper, the reason givei
is the beneficial effect on others. Bu
it is very much worth while to con
sider deeply the beneficial efefct
upon oneself.
1t will help the other fellow. But
1T will help you more.
Losing the temper has a decided ef
feet upon the physical condition In
many cases, if the anger caused is
violent, it affects the heart action
the circulation and very often the di-
gestive organs.
If you have never considered the
wisdom OF this practice from the
health standpoint before, begin now.
There are few things in the world
worth losing ones temper over; GER
tainly not the small ones which more
certainly cause the rush of blood to
the head and flow of angry words to
the mouth
Just remember, next time some
one aggravates you, that it is worth
more to your health to treat the mat.
Ter calmly, dignifiedly and sensibly
than to ely off the handle" and
jeopardize your perfectly good diges
tive organs.-Exchange.

TO KILL L0G-EATING GOATS
Lumber Company Orders Herd Exc
cuted When II Gets Entirely
Too Ravenous.

Goats are perfect marvels in clear.
ing forest lands for cultivation. They
eat the brush down to the roots, take
the slash" from lumber operations for
dessert, and prepare the forest for ag-
riculture in way that no man can
do except at great expense, says the
Minneapolis Journal In northern Min
nesota the homesteader or settler who
has herd of goats is the envy of all
his neighbors, But when the goats
begin to eat sawlogs their usefulness
has passed; they become a menace to
society. This is the danger that con-
fronts northern Minnesota unless
proper precautions are taken.
In semiofficial report to w. T. Cox,
state forester, district ranger tells
and interesting experience. Finding
that it was somewhat expensive to
burn the slash" and to carry out the
orders for forest fire prevention the
company decided to obtain band Of
goats to do the work.
The goats did well. They ate all the
brush, all the slash, the grass and
the shrubbery. The lumber company
was pleased.
But when the grass and shrubbery,
brush and slash were exhausted the
goats tackled the pulpwood and the
logs. Directors of the company de-
creed that the goats be slaughtered.
This will teach lumber companies
not to cut their timber too small" was
Mr.. Cox comment.
