Circulation Of Money.

A man made s25 of loose, surplus,
unearned increment by putting poor
quality in case of soldiers shoes he
shipped abroad. AS he had lots more
money, made the same way, he gave
the $25 to a head waiter to reserve a
table for New Years eve.
The head waiter gave the s25 to his
wife, who handled his finances, and
she used $24.95 of 1t to pay the head
walters income tax.
The income tax will be devoted to
supporting a navy to stand of some
country that doesn't like US any more
because We made poor shoes for its
soldiers.
AS for the odd nickel, that is still
in escrow, as it were, and will be
thus for another generation or two
when the son of the head waiter will
throw it to the grandson of the shoe
manufacturers as a start toward a
nights lodging.
Money always goes somewhere

SCENTS MAKE FOR HEALTH
Among other Important Matters Is
Their Tendency to Promote the
Habit Of Deep Breathing.

When we smell a beautiful flower
we breathe deeply, we expand the
chest. we inhale; our whole being ex.
pands with delight, which alone is ben
eticial, for to underbreathe is a fault
which most everyone is guilty of, es.
pecially If one is tired.
If the air of each room was laden
with a different scent, it would tempt
one to breathe more deeply in passing
from room to room encountering the
different scents. In fact, to breathe
deeply would soon become a habit,
and in this maner the lungs would ex-
pand and be brought into greater ac-
tivity, which in turn would produce a
better state of health-this leads to
youth and beauty.
In fact, flowers and scents are a
physical benefit to the weary house
wife and mother, as we'll as the woman
of leisure, and are equally beneficial
to the busy man, clerk, stenographer,
student, or anyone deeply engrossed
in thought. The artist finds them val.
liable, not alone for their scent. but for
the inspiration gained from color.

Jealousy in Woman.

In ordinary times, when no world
movements stimulate, the chief exas-
peration of woman resides in jealousy.
1t differs from male jealousy, for the
male is generally possessive, the fe-
male competitive. | suspect that Eu-
ripides was generalizing rashly when
he said that woman is woman's natur-
al ally. She is too sex-conscious for
that, and many of us have observed
the annoyance of a mother when her
son weds. Competition is always vio-
lent, so much so that woman is gener-
ally mocking or angry if man praises
ever so slightly another woman. II
she is young and able to make a claim
on all men, she tends to be still more
virulent because her claim is on all
men. This is partly due to the mar
riage market and it's restrictions, but
it is also partly natural. No doubt be-
cause it is natural, woman attempts to
conceal that jealousy, nature being
generally considered ignoble by the
civilized world. In this respect we
must accept that an assumption OF
coldness is considered a means of en-
ticing man. 1t may we'll be that, where
woman does not exhibit jealousy she
is with mastery skill suggesting to
the man a problem-why is she not
jealous? On which follows the desire
to make her jealous, and entangle
ment.-W. l.. George in Atlantic.

Tribulattons Of a 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

The word carat is derived from an
Arabic word meaning a weight Of four
grains. In Greek 1t signifies little
horn, the fruit Of the carob or locust
tree. The carat is a small weight
Originally in the form Of seedJ used

a measure fer determining the fine

ferent places. In 1877 syndicate OF
London, Paris and Amsterdam jew
elers fixed the weight at 2O5 nil
ligrams (3163 troy grains), The
South African carat is said to equal

Why Jupiter Is Wearing Belts.

1t has been suggested by Lau that
the reason Jupiter has belts instead
of zones of spots is to be found in
its rapid rotation, the material forced
upward from the lower strata Of the
planet, bringing with it a smaller
lineal velocity than that of the sur.
face, streams eastward, assuming the
look of elongated streaks.

Your Wrist-Watch.

1t is a marvel of minute workman
ship. 1t is one of the most wonderful
things the human hand fashions. The
pivot of the balance-wheel has
diameter measured by the two hun.
dredth part of an inch and, more mar
velous still, in order that the pivot
may have free play. the jewel-hole into
which 1t fits is exactly one five-thou-
sandth part of an inch larger. The
gauge which enables this to be done
measures to the ten-thousandth part of
an inch. But not only are the screws
of watch as minute as its bolts, but
they have a thread just like the big
screws you drive into the door, but the
thread of the watch's screw has as
many as 260 turns to the inch. What
is called a pallet jewel in a watch
weighs pound when there are 10000
of them, and of the roller jewel it
would need 256, 900. The largest round
hair-spring stud in your watch is the
four-hundredth of an inch in diameter
and nine-hundredths of an inch in
length.
