Relics of Cliff DwelIers.

Recently discovery was made by
forest rangers of an UNEMPLOYED ruin
of the ancient cliff jewellers in the
Mesa Verde park, and subsequent de-
velopments have proved that it is both
extensive and interesting. A long
ladder was constructed and swung
over the face of the cliff at height
of 600 feet from the bottom of the
canyon. The ruins contained 25 rooms,
but no kiva, or large ceremonial cham
Der, such as is usually found in SINH
lar ruins. The rangers in brief and
cursory exploration of the ruins found
IN plain sight ten stone axes, fourteen
large stone jars, each eighteen inches
high and three feet, six inches in cir
conference, two small jars, two parts
of woven baskets, one wooden slab
five inches wide, twelve inches long
and one-half inch thick, curved up at
the sides; several pieces Of yucca
rope, one piece spliced with sinew,
one piece of woven yucca fiber and
several human bones.

CAUSES OF SWAPPING NERVES
Hard Mental Work Brings Stress on
Brain Centers-Many Forms
of Reaction.

Modern man is a top-heavy being,
whose brain is disproportionately SUI
perior to his other organs" remarks
the New York Medical Journal in a
discussion of the war from the psy-
chologie standpoint. This is an age
of hard mental work, which brings
stress on the highest and most recent
ly-developed brain centers; it was in
evitRble that something should snap.
and something has snapped; there is
a temporary reassertion of primitive
human impulses. In America, reac-
ton was taking milder forms; the au-
tomobile, the baseball diamond, the
gridiron, relieved the tension, parti-
cularly the dancing mania which swept
over us like an obsession. Dancing is
the most primitive form of reaction
and tends quickly to re-establish equi-
| librium.
Probably the man does not want
peace and tranquility, which are too
close to ennui, his greatest dread
Professor James was dreadfully bored
by visit to Chautauqua, with ice
cream soda as its utmost offerings
and its 'atrocious harmlessness.' He
knew man wanted something with
more zest and adventure.
alcohol and tobacco relieve In an
artificial way the tension upon the
brain by slightly paralyzing temporar-
lily the higher and more recently de-
veloped brain centers. Were the use
of these drugs suddenly checked no
student of psychology or of history
could doubt that there would be an
immediate increase of social irritable
ity, tending to instability and social
upheavals."

Superstitious Remedies.

For sore eyes touch from an old
gold wedding-ring is a popular rem
edy, and many an old womans ring
has earned for itself a great name
as an eye healer. Apparently relia-
BILE authorities can be found who as
sert that they have been cured by
touch of this description. Borlase as
serts as a fact that a halter with
which anyone has been hanged will
cure headache instantly if tied
around the head, and he adds, Moss
growing upon a human skull, if dried
and powdered and taken as snuf, is
no less efficacious." Brands tells Of
several superstitious remedies or
charms: Hollow stones are hung up
in stables at night to prevent night
mares or ephialtes They are usually
called in the North of England holy

places of execution are used as anu

Girls VIII Marry Crippled Soldiers.

A letter in the London Daily Mail
conveys the information that hun
dreds of English girls have expressed
their willingness to marry crippled
British soldiers and to care for them
as their contribution to their country's
cause. The offers came as the result
of a published suggestion that plucky
girls might be of service so, and all
that stands in the way of the success
Of this wholesale matchmaking is that
no degree of pluck and patriotism
seems sufficient to overcome maidenly
shyness. The girls have agreed to
marry, but they cannot walk up to the
first one-legged soldier they see and
tell him 80. Meetings are to be ar
ranged by certain women of the Lon
don West end, where these self-sacri-
ficing girls will be introduced to the
lifelong burdens they have agreed to
take as husbands.

SCORED HEAVILY ON PRINCE
Master Of Situationy but Victory
Was Costly One.

The greatest dandy and fop of mod
ern times was George Brummell,
known as Beau Brummell. He lived
life delicate and leisured, and since
he was poor his living depended upon
the favor Of the court. The court
at that time was represented in the
set where the beau's influence was
if truth must be told, not a slender
man. 1t happened that the prince
and the beau quarreled.
To be dandy is not generally con-
sidered the first mark of being q
brave man, but Beau Brummell gave
instant proof that he was not only a
great dandy but great man as well.
The details of the story are somewhat
vague, but the main facts are certain
Brummell knew that his quarrel with
the prince would mean an end of his
prestige, but he refused to yield, and
on the day following the quarrel went
walking with friend, said to have
been Sheridan.
The news Of the rupture between
the prince and the dictator Of fashions
had spread, and there were not a
few who gathered in the hopes of q
passage at arms between them.
1t happened that Sheridan and
Brummell met the prince and his
party. With princely ostentation the
royal parsonage called Sheridan aside
and spoke to him, pointedly ignoring
Brummell, who stood by. Brummell
did not finch in the crisis, he was
the only person who seemed to be in
different Then Sheridan returned.
With a gesture of indifference Brum-
nell lifted his glasses to his eyes
and, indicating with a slight wave of
his hand the person to whom he re-
ferred, he asked in a clear but Ian
guild voice the famous question:
SHERRY, who's your fat friend?"
Brummell spent the greater part
of the remainder of his life in Calais,
an outcast, broken man. But with
the memory of his great rebuke, it
can hardly be said that in the crisis
he was found wanting.

Kerosene Put Out Fire.

A bale of cotton when compressed
for shipment abroad has the density
Of an oak plank.
Recently in California a large guam
tity OF baled cotton became ignited,
and, as is always the case, the fire
ate into the center of the bale. The
density of the cotton will allow water
to penetrate the bale only very slowly
Kerosene will penetrate the fibers
very fast and, knowing this fact, kero-
sene was used ana the supply of oxy-
gen which was necessary to the fire
cut off, 1t was successful and the
greater portion OF the cotton saved.

New Profession for Women.

Why may college women not estab-
fish bookstores in their own cities
and towns in all parts of the country?
Such stores would meet the need for
a calling, and should yield fair in
come. The wares are familiar to
these women, who have at least a
cultivated interest in them. PERIOD
calls, music, photographs and other
art products could be added to the
stock and the desire for social serv-
ice could be met naturally by making
the store a center where people could
meet, where they could examine books
and periodicals while waiting, and
where public opinion could be formed.
The store might also sell tickets for
concerts and lectures; and the right
woman could exercise large in
fluence in directing the public taste
in these matters.
1t Is clear that such enterprises, as
in the case of the librarians 80 years
ago and of the more recent social
workers, would have not only to fur
nish what the public needs, but would
also have to educate the public to
want what it needs. This would re-
quire skill and technical knowledge
exactly as in the case of the libraries
and the social service movement, and
special schools would have to be de-
veloped to meet this need.-Atiantio

In the first lot were fed n half ration
