Eat Less: DO Mora.

A fat nation Is no good. Lean ma
tons accomplish things. We should
eat less and think more. have smaller
girth and larger chests, less on the hip
and more on the thorax, have fewer
potatoes at dinner and more books
after dinner, more exercise and less
chewing. A strong person can suhsist
on a little oatmeal and philosophy and
outWalk. outtalk, outthink, and In ev-
cry way Guido the person who travels
the long route from soup to nuts and
goes to sleep afterward as an anaconda
full OF sheep or monkeys might. Life
Is a lean affair Of hungry appetites and
ambitions. Then they stimulate to
earnest performance. The regeneration
OF the American nation begins at the
dinner table. We need s~toutness in
soul not soutness in fat. Eat less and
do more. Grow more above the neck
and less below the stomach.-Chicago

The Eskimo Skin Canoe.

The kayak, or skin canoe. or the Es.
kinlo was in use on the coast of north
ern Russia two or three centuries ago,
according to DIR. Macltitchie. L. S. A.
Scot. Evidence Of this is obtained
from statements made by BurrOugh in
1906 and from the chronicles of n Dan
ish expedition to Vaigatz in 1863. 1t
was further shown that three kayaks
were captured off the northern shores
Of Scotland about the end Of the sew
enteenth century. One OF these is still
preserved in the museum Of Marischal
college, Aberdeen. An important fact
is the occasional presence of a kayay-
using race Of Firms or Finnmen In
the Orkney islands during the last
twenty years Of the seventeenth cen
fury, as testified to by three writer's
Of that period.-TorontO Mail and En-

A Lost frado Secret.

OF this famous fluid was sold for 5000,
and that was ~tnirty-five years ago.
Since then every effort has been made
to analyze the product in an attempt
to reproduce the Oil. but without sue

alone knew its composition died. and.

Americas war loan Of $7,OOO,OOO,.
GOO surpasses the powers OF the mind
to grasp. Spent ut the rate Of a collar
q minute It would take 1878 years
to dispose OF the appropriation. Loan
ed out ut . per cent, $13 could be
spent every second for an indefinite
period without touching the principal.
The interest on the loan is greater
than the entire running expenses of
the government less than half a CEN
tury ago, while the amount itself
would conduct the affairs Of the gov
eminent for fully seven years on the
basis Of the annual expenditures for
the last decade. Another and more
cheerful way Of looking ut the situa-
ton Is that, great as the loan is, the
wealth Of the United States is such
that it amounts to the lending of ST

When Pattens Were Worn.
Americans fird it more difficult than
the English to understand what Dick
n means when he says In David
Copperfield,' "Women went clicking
along the pavements In pattens." Pat
tens were an abbreviated form Of stills.
The word is also used by builders rs
the name Of the base Of a column or
pillar, and so architecturally the pat
ten Is the support used by a oma to
keep her out Of the water and mud.
From this architectural use has come
the secondary application Of the word,
meaning ali arrangement attached to
the shoe SO that the walker is raised
three or -four inches above the solid
earth. says Popular Science MHnthly.
If the mud and water did lot exceed
that uc. III the shoes We're thus kept

1t appears that pattens were not
worn solely by the rich. but were lux
uries INDUCED in by the very poor.
In speaking OF Il person who was not

comparison, You make no more haste
