Where He Made His Money.

Years ago a gentleman settled in the
south Of England and became very
popular in the neighborhood. The
county families could never discover
how he had made his money, but were
satisfied by his solemn assurance that
it was not in trade. Nothing could ex-
ceed the ordinary gravity Of his de-
meanor. which indeed caused him to
be placed on the commission Of peace,
but now and then. without any appar-
ent provocation. he would burst into
such laugh as no one ever heard be-
fore except In one place. Where they
could have heard it puzzled the county
families for five and twenty years. but
at last he was betrayed unconsciously
by his own grandchild, who. after
visit to a travelling circus. innocently
exclaimed. why. grandpa laughs just
like the clownw-James Payn.

Ancient Use Of a Kise.

A Roman woman in the ancient time
was not allowed to drink wine except
it were simple raisin wine. and, how
ever she might relish strong drinks.
she could not indulge even by stealth
first. because she was never intrust-
ed with the key of the wine cellar and.
second, because she was obliged daily
to greet with kiss all her own as well
as her husbands male representatives,
down even to second cousins, and as
she knew not when or where she
might meet them she was forced to be
wary and abstain altogether. for had
she tasted but drop the smell would
have betrayed her. So strict were the
old Romans in this respect that a GER
tain Ignatius Mercurius is said to have
slain his wife because he caught her at
the wine cask-a punishment which
was not deemed excessive by Romulus.

The Nice Of Austria is the name
by which Gorilla, or Goritz. is known
among it's habitues. owing to it's mild
climate. Curiously enough, the city

lie the remains Of Charles X. of

of the Due de Chambord, who died as

TESTS FOR HEARING.
Eioid ordeals For Candidates For Our
Army and Navy.

The physical requirements Of Amer
lean soldiers and sailors are of q high
standard as compared with those OF
other countries. The test for hearing.
for example. in our navy and army Is
more severe than of any other coTi.try.
One of these tests for admission to
our Naval academy may be taken rs Il
typical example of the thoroughneSs
with which the candidates faculties
are tested. In this test the ticking OF
a watch must be heard at forty inches
II Quiet surrounding. and this ticking
must be heard at that distance by each
ear separately In addition to this. the
candidate will be rejected if there is
the slightest suggestion of any dis
eased condition about any portion OF
the ear
In all the foreign navies. as we'll as
in our own. the severcSt tests Of hear
ing are imposed upon the men who are
to undertake submarine service. In
this service even an officer will not be
accepted if the surgeon is able to find
any evidence that he has ever been 2t-
ficted with ear trouble al any time.
Thus a slight inflammation Of the ear
which occurred in childhood may dis
qualify the officer for submarine Serv-
ice. though his hearing may be so good
that be would be readily accepted IN
any other branch of military service =

KEEPING CUT FLOWERS.
Methods by Which the Fading Process
May Be DELAYED.


May Be Delayed.
Roses. carnations and orchids have
been found to keep three times as long
if a small quantity Of sugar be added
to the water. writes Mabel r. Wharton
Of Oakland, Cal, to Popular Mechan-
les. A small lump Of starch has also
been found beneficial. Other flowers
begin to bleed as soon as they are cut.
and the precious sap running out Of
the stem causes the cells to collapse
Immediately. To prevent this the end
of the stem must be quickly closed.
and this is best done by soaring in II
fame or by placing directly in hot
water.
The florists Of California go so far as
to boil the stems of the brilliant poin-
settias or Christmas flowers. for which
they are so famous. The stem is first
stuck through large sheet Of paper to
prevent the steam from rising directly
into the flower and injuring it.
Carnations and chrysanthemums will
keep dlLuOSL LWlce dS iOuS IL pldCSo LII
fresh water daily. and a small piece is
clipped from the ends of the stems
each time. While cutting this piece of
keep the stem under water so that no
air bubbles are allowed to enter the
stalk and thus retard the upward flow
of water
If large headed flowers. such as
chrysanthemums or peonies. are to be
sent some distance insure their arriV-
ing in good condition by wrapping each
blossom separately IN waxed paper.

EUROPE IGNORES UNITED
STATES MOTOR FEATS
Maxwell Beat Britain's Best But Gets
Only an American
Mark.

rSnOulQ EuQl6 flCheuUdCueT, LHe Id
nous Maxwell pilot-or any of the
other speed demons of premier fame
celebrate the first race of 1916 by
rolling 300 miles in two hours or some
such revolutionary figure, the result
could be nothing more than an Amer
lean record. No such thing as a
worlds record can be successfully
claimed, when the feat is accomplish
ed in the United States, under sane
ton of the american Automobile as
sociation.
This strange and anomalous condi-
ton arises from the fact that, with
characteristic European aloofness,
the automobile judiciary across the
sea recognizes no performance in
America as really authentic
Despite the fact that many recent
American records excel those on the
books of the Automobile Clubs of
Great Britain and France, recent COM
pilations of European records placid
ly ignore them and still refer to ven
erable European feats as worlds rec
ords.
Our Dust Too Thick.
The American Automobile associa-
ton, after vainly trying to secure mu-
tual recognition which would result
in real table of worlds records, has
temporarily given up the battle and
modestly refers to all marks estab-
lished under it's jurisdiction as Amer
lean records-only this and nothing
more.
One immediate effect of this con-
dition is to rob the endurance cnam-
.pion Maxwell touring car of the tech
nical right to claim a worlds title.
The MAXWELL stock touring car
recently completed, under A. A. A.
supervision, run of 22,022.3 miles
without a mortor stop. The best prior
American record was less than 13 600
miles. In Europe the best prior mark
was less than 1900 miles-to the
credit of the Rolls-Royce. Yet the
Maxwell can quality merely for an
American record and the stolid Brit
ons will doubtless continue to regard
the Rolls-Royce as the worlds endur-
ance champion until its recorl is beat
en- in the limits Of their tight little
Isle.
Were reciprocal rules in operation,
the Maxwell would undoubtedly be
granted a worlds record certificate
Under its present policy the A. "A. A.
can, however, grant merely American
certificate Of records.
In the meantime, however, there is
no occasion for American sportsmen
to feel symptoms Of peeve. Regard
!css Of the technicalities, tney have
the satisfaction of knowing that the
Na1vell-a popular priced American
car--has handily eclipsed the best
record of the one particular car on
Which Europe has relied for exempli-
feat on Of motor endurance-a car OF
the highest price and one which bases
large share Of its reputation on a
non-siar feat, highly creditable but
herewith rendered obsolete.
