What Is p earmecid Feastg

The model OF BGgdad was the older
Persian capital of Ctesiphon, situated
only a few miles away. Doubtless also
most of the builders employed by
Mansur were Persians, for his desert
Arabs were not versed in that art
Persian influence was conspicuous
from the first and the chief advisers
of the Abhasids were all Persians I'M
til the time of Harun-al-Rashid They
belonged 10 the famous Barmacid fam
lily whose power began with Khalid,
Mansur's vizier, and ended with Jar
far, who used TO accompany his mas
ter Harun in his incognito excursions
through the streets of his capital in
search of adventures that are familiar
10 every child Despite his romantic
picturesqueness, Harun was a weak
ling, and like many another oriental
tyrant his last days were marked
with shocking cruelties, one OF the
worst of which was the slaughter OF
the whole Barmecid family at feast

GERMS INJURIOUS TO HEALTH
Decayed Teeth One of the Most Po-
tcntis Causes Of Disease In
the Human Family.

A hole IN tooth is due to decay
The animal matter of which the tooth
is composed is decaying. In that mass
OF decaying matter the germs OF all
kinds Of disease find hotbed of fer
tile soil in which to thrive and multi
ply and grow strong.
Swarms OF them go down into the
stomach with every swallow, some of
them being destroyed by the action OF
the stomach juices, but some passing
into the blood and being distributed
to organs OF the body. where they
lodge and cause tuberculosis, pneu-
,monia. sore throat, appendicitis and
many other diseases.
In fact, it is difficult to pick out a
single disease to which we are sub
iect that may not enter the body by
way of decayed tooth. Decayed and
broken-down teeth prevent proper
mastication OF the food, and this in
turn causes malnutrition or poor nour-
ishment OF the body which means
physical degeneracy, and physical de-
generacy means mental and moral de-
generacy.

Breaking IL Gently,

Speaking of breaking the news gent
ly, the story is told of a well shooter
who operated in the oil fieldss Iuth-
west Kansas ten or twelve y ago.
While he was going from one vi to
another with "a load of nitroglycerin
the wagon fen over the side of r.
bridge and landed on the rocks fifteen
feet below The well shooter, his
wagon and his team were Immediately
distributed over the surrounding coun-
try.
A friend, who happened to see the
accident. felt that he ought to notify
the unfortunate well shooters wife,
but he wanted to break the news as
gently as possible He called her up
over the telephone and said:
My opinion is, Mrs. Loop. that your
husband won't get back home in time
for supper. and i reckon you might
az well not walt for him..
Which way did he go?" asked Mrs.
Loop.
Well. ma am said the tool shar-
pener, who was breaking the news,
he was goin' purity nigh straight up
when | last saw him, though | think
he was headin' a trifle 20 the north
east and | should say at the rate he
was travelin' that II won't be possible
for him to make it back by supper
time. Saturday Evening Post.

sELF-coNTRoL COMES FIRST
Man Must BE Able to Rule Himself Be-
fore He Can Be Allowed to
Rule Others.

The other day man who makes his
living by fighting was struck by an
understood man, and Instead OF return
ing the blow he walked away from his
diminutive assailant.
This man exhibited much more self
control than the majority OF people.
Men who class themselves as being
on higher plane than this fighting
man would have mixed Immediately
with the hot-headed individual.
What would you have done?
The chances are that you would
have rushed at the fellow with all
your might; you would have permitted
your savage instincts to rule you.
This proves that you have not as
much power as you should have over
your impulses.
You may boss other people, but you
are not boss OF yourself.
Maybe you wonder why others are
forging ahead of you as leaders Of
men.
II is because they have check rein
on themselves. They have schooled
themselves that they may be able to
guide others. Self-control is the at
tribute of a leader.-Chicago Ameri-
can.
