TribuIations Of q Volunteer.

Richard de Gunpowder was an en-
thusiast. He was so enthusiastic that
he enlisted in the Harvard Hundreds.
Moreover, he was SO very enthusiastic
that he enlisted twice. Then matters
became confused, for he was assigned
to two different regiments. In some
way, however, he managed to per-
suade his superior officers that he
would rather be wholly and entirely in
one company than partly in two. So
one of his enlisted selves joined the
other in the same squad. But now he
was absolutely beside himself; every
time he turned around he hit himself
in the back; whenever he was out of
step he trod on his own heels; every
time he-what should-whGt could he
do? What would you have done?
But the captain was cleverer than
you. He selected one of Richard'e en-.
listed selves and made him an officer

An investigation of the beginnings
OF big business men has been conduct
ed for the American Magazine by
Hugh s. Fullerton.
"An astonishing feature of this in
vestigation," he says, 'is that so few
of these men who have attained large
successes remember the turning point
in their lives until it is recalled to
them. They never thought of IT, yet
when the idea was explained, every
one Of them could put his finger upon
the exact place at which they turned
toward success. It was astounding to
find that the majority of them were
merely foundering through life with.
out definite aim or purpose up to that
point and that from that point on they
saw the course plainly and worked
with positive purpose toward an end.

could not see an opening until it came

Restoring Fatlgued Muscles.

A very ingenious physiological
method of increasing the yield Of Ia
Dor from any given group of muscles
is described in the Deutsche Revue.
According to an abstract in Die Um-
schau the author, TIL. Weber, claims
that in practice gain of from % to
40 per cent is obtainable in the
amount of work done. The device Is
extremely simple. When the given
group of muscles has reached the
point of exhaustion, due to the &C.
cumulation of the products Of fatigue,
they are allowed to rest, while an en-
tirely different muscle group Is set to
work vigorously. The energetic con-
traction Of these muscles causes an
increase in heart action and circula-
tion, and the strengthened current Of
blood thus sent to all parts Of the
body partially restores the working
power of the first group of muscles
by carrying away fatigue toxins and
supplying oxygen.

THOUGHTS OF Medicine
Tillers Of the Soil Believed to Have
Originated Primal Ideas That
Have Grown.

1t is of romance that the primal hus-
bandman or shepherd conceived of q
philosophy of medicine while plying
spade or keeping the flocks; that, till
ing and sowing in the ground, or sit
ting at a mountains foot, a keeper
and commander of poor beasts" man
became contemplative of the universe
that framed his small body and, by
consequence, thought upon his own
body that held his spirit.
Analogies were suggested: of earth
and dust with flesh, Of stones and
rocks with bones.
Then came considerations of the
constitution and process Of greater ma
ture and the application Of both to hu-
man and lesser nature.
AS men perceived the action OF the
four primary elements in the body OF
the world and marked that it was by
their proportionable agreement that
harmony prevailed therein, SO they i'm
agined that the four elemental quail
ties, viz, heat, cold, dryness, mois-
ture, were to be recognized and
brought into harmony in their human
bodies.

EoretoId by OIL.

Among the Kherrias of India there
is a very curious marriage ceremony.
Taking a portion of the hair of the
bride and bridegroom in turn from the
center of the forehead, the priest
draws it down on to the bridge Of the
nose. Then, pouring oil on the head.
he watches it carefully as it trickles
down the portion of hair. If the oil
runs straight on to the tip of their
nose their future will be fortunate.
but if it spreads over the forehead
or trickles off on either side of the
nose, i'll luck is sure to follow. Their
fortunes told, generally to their own
satisfaction. the final part of the cere-
mony takes place. Standing up side
by side, but with faces strictly avert
ed, the bride and bridegroom mark
each others forehead with "sindar"

MOTH PROVES ITS SHARPNESS
English Pest Has Found Way to
Foil Defensive Efforts of Fruit
Growers.

England's winter moth is one of
the greatest pests with which the
fruit growers of that country have to
contend. 1t begins to appear in Octo-
ber, and the female. whose wings are
very short and quite unadapted to
flight, climbs the trunks of the fruit
trees and deposits her eggs. These
hatch out in the spring. and the cater
pillars soon devour the young leaves.
Heretofore it has been comparatively
easy to combat the ravages Of the
pest. Seeing that the female is un-
able to fly, fruit growers place bands
of a sticky substance around each
tree. The female, in climbing the
trunks, comes to the band and is held
fast.
But a wonderful thing has happened,
says the Manchester (England) Guard
ian. In recent years the female moth
has been found from time to time
above the band, and how she got
there was a mystery. Finally, how
ever, an entomologist expert unveiled
it. He saw the male and female
moths together above the band on
the tree-the male evidently having
Just deposited the female.
There appears to be little doubt.
adds the Manchester Guardian, that
in this we have a remarkable adapta-
tion to circumstances. The female
cannot fly, but the male can. and it
would seem that he had flown to the
higher part of the tree, carrying his
wife upon his back. This is one of
the most striking discoveries in nat
ural history and is creating much in
terest among nature students.
