G FACTORY.

A cigar company has located its
new factory in the residence district
Of Benton Harbor.
The manager explains: "There
are several reasons why l want the
factory to be homelike. | intend to
construct recreation grounds, tennis
courts and the like for employees. !
want them to enjoy their work in a
clean factory. l have located my
factory where the air is good, and
this means more to me than the
money l would save by closer prox-
unity to the center of industry. l
have my factory in the residence dis
trict so that my people can build
their homes around it. I want them
to have their own homes. l intend
doing everything for their happiness
and comfort, knowing that work is
better done if happily done. l am
glad to pay out $500 each year to a
health custodian in order that my
factory be kept clean. 1t will be
thoroughly cleaned every day."

LONDON'S TAXI DRIVERS.

London taxi drivers have a diff
cult task to perform before they can
obtain a license to run their cabs.
One old busman and hackney car
riage driver, too old to join the col
ors, and too rheumatic to stick to the
board, thought he would acquire a
knowledge of the taxi, and make a
living at that. After his second days
examination he said to the inspec-
tor, "Why guvnor it is easier to pass
through the eye of a needle than an
swer them questions"-there were
400 Of them. "Take your time, dad"
said the inspector encouragingly.
"You never lost a horse" you have
been saying. "You will manage the
wheel yet" In three weeks the old
driver was on the road, and a Stats
tician says hat there are now 1000
old busmen running their own taxis
in London-the other fellows have
done and + doing their bit at the
front.

RECOGNIZE VALUE OF MILK
French Authorities Regard 1t as Most
Powerful Stimulant That
Can Be Employed.

Milk is one of the most powerful
stlmulants that can be taken into
the human system. The Pasteur in
stitute Of Paris has announced this
fact after many months of expert
mentation.
According to the institute, milk
has been literally used to stimulate
the French soldiers before they go
into battle, and the general effect
noted has been such that the sale Of
milk has been urged by the French
government in preference to any
other beverages to the men in the
trenches.
In the ordinary acceptance there
is a sharp distinction between foods
and stimulants. Alcohol, for in
stance, is recognized as a powerful
stimulant but its food value is neg
ligible. 1t is commonly spoken of
as a Stimulant, and is not regarded
as having the properties Of food.
Similarly, the articles that are
classed as foods are not spoken of
as s~timulants, although anything in
the nature of food naturally has a
stimulatiye effect upon the physical
and mental organism. In that sense,
milk, being among the highest in
value Of all foods, might be viewed
as one of the most valuable of slim
ulants.
Perhaps, after all, the best food is
the best stimulant. Anyway. our
notion Of the meaning of "stimu-
liant" must be considerably modified
by this new French characterization
Of milk, and the word may hereafter
need to be treated with a greater re-
spect than it has received in some
quarters.

NEW IDEi IN ENDOWMENTS
ehilanthropist, About at the End of
His Rope, Struck With a
Brilliant Thought.

The philanthropist paced his
study, his brows knitted in thought,
his fingers crocheted in vexation, his
hair, where there was any, standing
upright on his head like bristles on
the back of a scared tomcat just hit
by a brickbat.
81 have come to the end of my
rope" he muttered, tearing up a
dunning letter and throwing it'spite-
fully out Of the window. II have
given to every charity under the sun
and some over it, such as the plan to
communicate with the planet Bibble.
| have endowed libraries, soup kit
chens, hospitals, free saloons for the
relief Of wives of drunkards, every
thing anybody else ever endowed,
and thousands of my own invention,
| am still worth ten cents in cash
and millions in dreams, and every
charity has been attended to-"
And he burst into tears Of the
scalding variety. 1t was a hot day
and no ice supply in sight because
there was no beer in the refrigera-
tor for the iceman.
Suddenly he started up, and a
wild light of joy came into his old
eyes, the original pair he had when
born many years before in q
humble log cabin.
II have it," he cried. 81 will en-
dow a fund for INDECENT philanthro-
pists who have wasted their sub
stance on cndowing charities"

Those Who Are Made Glad BY Sweet
Sounds Might Compile a Long
List of Fiavors.

Dispatches from Chicago say that
Robert W. Stevens, music professor
at Chicago university, has discovered
that music has taste as well as
charm. According to Stevens, a
flute tastes like crystal sugar, an
oboe like a lemon, a cello like good
coffee, and a clarinet like grape
fruit. A Columbus (Ind.) musician,
who withholds his name because he
dislikes notoriety, has added consid-
erably to the list. He calls attention
to the fact that while Professor Ste
vens may think Chopin tastes like
brook trout, Irving Berlin would
taste like chilli con carne with an ex-
ira application of tabasco sauce.
Neyin, he thinks, tastes like weak
tea, and Mcdowell like salt water.
His list of tastes applied to musical
instruments follows: Piccolo, like
pickles; trombone, like castor oil
photograph, like hash: tuba, like
apple dumpliMgs; cornet, like a
green apple with a worm in it; snare
drum, like breakfast bacon; parlor
organ, like stale boiled cabbage; cal
Hope, like an old-fashioned Hoosier
country dinner with nine kinds of
preserves on the table. And, of
course, a French harp tastes like a
roasting ear. At least both are
played in the same way.-Indianap-

EURoPE's QUEER WEATHER.

Next to the war the abnormal
weather which has harassed England
so far this year is the most-talked-of
thing in the country, says the Pitts
burgh Dispatch. A sunny day so far
this season is an event. The same
holds true of all northern Europe,
where weather of the kind resem-
bling March has prevailed through
out June and July. In Prussia
there has been an unusual amount of
rain and excessive cold. In Moscow
up to the middle Of July there had
been no sign Of summer or of the
hot weather which generally sets in
before June. In Scandinavia the
weather has been cherries and very
similar to that in England. In
southern Germany violent rains have
fallen, and Lake Constance is abnor-
mally high, while in Austria there
have been tremendous storms. South
of the Alps excessively hot weather
has been reported for many weeks.
In Sardinia there has been a heat
wave which has been followed by
forest fires.

PUSHING COAL FROM THRONE
Monarch Has No Longer Undisputed
Sway In Fields Where Once He
Had No Rival.

King Coal is very much harassed
in his former undisputed fields. The
electrifying of steam plants, mines,
factories, and even railroads is going
ahead at a steadily increasing rate,
but while coal may, imperceptibly so
far, lose some business in the domes-
tic market, export sales are increas-
ing. Byproduct plants are being
erected, and operators are looking
forward to the time when the waste
full and costly methods of coal trans
p~ortation will be done away with
and electricity will be produced right
at the mine and be transported
cheaply and quickly to the consumer,
cooking your dinner, heating your
house, running your factory, or car
rying you across the continent, un-
troubled from SCOT and cinders.
What change such a transforma-
ton may make is best demonstrated
by what it has done for the Pacific
coast, and especially for San Fran
cisco. However, electricity had less
to do with this change than oil,
which has s~upplanted coal to an ex-
tent at first unthought of. All har-
Dor and coastwise, as well as all
transpaciic shipping is using oil for
fuel. Gas is made from oil, and the
residue is pressed into briquettes.
The factories use oil, and the oil
stove warns the house in the rainy
season.-Wall Street Journal.

telephone GIRL KNEW LATIN
How Operator In Paris Helped Out
Priests Who Found Themselves
In Linguistic Difficulties.

That the telephone operators of
Paris are we'll versed in foreign lam
guages is a thing which many Wis.,
itors to this city have found occa-
sion to discover, but a most striking
proof of their versatility is told by a
Swedish Catholic priest now visiting
there.
The priest, who does not speak a
word OF French, was received at the
station by a French colleague
who did not know Swedish, but
who was to be his guide, so
the two priests arranged to
carry on their conversation in
Latin. The following morning
the visitor, who lives at a hotel,
was called up on the telephone by his
colleague.
He had barely started speaking
when he was interrupted by the op-
orator at the exchange, who told him,
that because of the war he must not
use a foreign language. The French
priest explained the circumstances
to her and she assured him that
matters might be arranged. In a
moment the two priests heard a new
young voice in the phone, addressing
them in the most perfect Latin.
What she said, translated into Eng
lish, meant that although it was for
hidden to use foreign tongue the OPP
orator would be very pleased if the
two fathers would speak in Latin
and it would then be her duty to lis
ten to their conversation.

but, whatever its origin, it is a ca
lamity to the family of its possessor,
though it is not necessarily a calam-

disaster, it is true, but it does not
necessarily do SO; and the very self
