Reeswax Used for LIGHTING.

Beeswax and tallow were used fol
lighting purposes by the Romans
Lengths of cotton or flax fiber were
dipped in these substances, and they
usually burned with much smoke and
SCOT and little light. The rush-lghts
of the middle ages, and even of recent
times, were rushes that had been
stripped nearly to the dry pith and
dipped in wax or tallow. When can
die power" was adopted as the unit OF
light measures by the London gas act
of 1860, it was taken to mean the
amount of light which would be given
by a sperm candle, six of which would
weigh a pound, and which consumed
12O grains of the candle each hour.

Fish as Brain Food.

"Fish is a brain food" Here is an
assertion that we hear repeatedly
given forth with great sOlemnity
There is, however, no foundation
whatever for the belief that fish con-
tains any particular elements that
adapt them especially as food for the
brain or which support mental efforts,
The value of fish as food to persons
engaged in mental labor is found in
the fact that fish do not contain large
quantities of those materials that de-
mand much physical exercise or exer-
ton for their complete consumption
AS the brainworker is seldom physi-
cally active, the value of fish as food
for him is due to what is not con-
tanned in the fish.

Ripe Bananas Not Harmful.

The unripe banana consists largely
of starch; this starch changes into
sugar as the fruit ripens, and to sugar
in it's most easily assimilated forms.
"The composition of the banana and
the potato" says a report, "shows an
interesting similarity both as regards
total carbohydrate and the amount OF
the different mineral constituents.
While the banana can hardly be re-
garded as potato substitute, the fact
that it has practically the same caloric
value as the potato is worthy of note"
The doctors who made these expert
ments express the belief that whenever
indigestion follows eating bananas it
is to be assumed that the fruit was
not ripe, for mo i'll effects, discomfort
or distaste were noted even after the
consumption of large quantities Of ripe
fruit for several days."-Journal OF
American Medical Association.

Too Much Talk.

The French think the English people
somewhat slow and serious. 1t is all
matter Of comparison. A sour, tact
turn Scotia house painter, by the by
had been to England and returned
to his native town. The lady of the
house where he was working tried to
get him to talk.
"You have been to England, they
tell me, Alec"
"Aye."
"Were you there long?"

swell, what do you think of the
English?"
"Gas bags"-solemnly, without the
twitch of a muscle. The "conversa-
ton" ended there.

Genius and Rules.

Genius may be law unto itself and
may violate the conditions felt to be
binding upon mere talent or mediocrity,
but for all that genius is not genius
because it occasionally breaks rules,
and no writer can serve as model
for the young who does not conform
to certain principles. The object Of
the linguistic branch of EDUCATION is
to fit each pupil with the ability to
make himself clearly understood, and
this can best be done by teaching him
to observe such rules as will tend to
make his speech similar to that of his
bearers. If after acquiring so much
he finds that he is literary genius, he
may go forward and devise new forms
for himself all well and good, but gen.
eral education is for average people,
and the only safeguard against dialects
or confusion of tongues is the teach
ings of such common principles as will
apply throughout the country.

Do Not Eat When Tired.

The average person does not take
enough rest. He works all day, eats
his midday meal in a hurry in between
pressing office appointments, comes
home late and seldom rests before sit
ting down to dinner. In state of
complete physical and mental exhaus-
ton dinner is eaten and as a conse-
quence of this fatigue the digestive or
gans are unable to do their work
properly. If the sufferer from indiges-
ton could arrange to rest half an hour
or even fifteen minutes before each
meal, with the same amount Of time
allotted to rest afterward, his stomach
would soon digest the food put into 1t
and his trouble would be at an end

ALWAYS WANT LITTLE MORE
This Human Tendency Makes Possible
One Woman's Odd but Useful
Trade With Auto Owners.

In the American Magazine we read
of woman who has made comfort
able living through supplying passen-
gers to automobiles and vice versa.
The writer visited her to learn her
method and she was preparing to tell
of her experience when the telephone
rang. "'You wish to go to Concord
Saturday afternoonT 1 heard my
hostess inquire and then, after look
ing into a record book which lay on
the desk near the telephone she add
ed, Yes, 1 can accommodate you. A
car will call at your home Saturday
afternoon at two o'clock. You
say you are coming back Thursday?
There is one seat left in a car which
is coming in at 4 80 in the afternoon.
Will that be satisfactory? All right.
Yes, 1 will send my statement
to your husband. Good-by.'
"Just then an automobile drove up
and gentleman entered. I am taking
my family up to our camp at Bruins
wick for the SUMNER he said. My
car will make the trip twice a day
from now until she first of September.
You can list it to leave hare at ten
o'clock in the morning and five in the
afternoon; coming down it will leave
Brunswick at seven in the morning
and two in the afternoon. 1t will
come by Concord
when mentioned the question of
price, the agent said, the prices are
based on the mileage on each dollar
which passes through my hands. L
pay the car owner a certain price per
mile for each passenger carried, and
then l charge the passenger this sum
plus my commission. This does away
with any dealing between the car own
er and the people he carries.
"At first l was afraid my idea
would not work, for l could hardly be-
lieve that a man who could own an
automobile would be interested in saw
ing so small sum as a dollar or Two;
but / have found few who would not
put themselves out bit to save little
money-no doubt that is why they are
able to own an automobile

ABOUT SOME GUYS
Fastidious One Learns English
'1As She Is Spoke"
Adds New Word to His Vocabulary in
Course of His Conversation With
Two Business Men.

The elderly gentleman with the silk
hat and the white WaiStcOat ap-
preached the intelligent-looking neatly
clad young man and addressed him
with an air of courtly grace.
II beg your pardon" said he, "but
this is my first visit to this town in
many years. Would you be kind
enough to tell me the name of the
gentleman across the street? His face
looks vaguely familiar; and it is barely
possible that 1 knew him in the years
before 1 went abroad to live"
The young man shot an alert look
at the elderly gentleman, and then
smiled alphabetically. do you mean
that guy in the brown derby?" he
asked. THAT'S my old man-Judge
Smith,"
The elderly gentleman drew back
slightly. Il didn't refer to that-er-"
He paused and brushed his hand over
his eyes. did you refer to him as
'guy'?" he continued.
"Sure," replied the young man, with
somewhat puzzled air. "Was that
the guy you meant?"
"No! No!'' declared the elderly gen.
tleman hurriedly. II referred to the
-er-guy with the white goatee."
"Oh, that guy!" exclaimed the young
man. Il don't know that guy. He
came to town yesterday to do some
kind of business with the guy that
runs the movie. Some of these guys
around here ought to know who he is,
though"
The young man whistled shrilly, and
beckoned imperatively to another pros
perous-looking young business man
who stood conversing with friends on
the opposite curb. In response to the
signal, the second young man crossed
the street and questioned the first
young man with lifted eyebrows.
Listen, 3D." said the first young
man, ''who is the guy with the white
goatee across the street? Hasn't he
got something to do with the guy that
started the movie shown
SEARCH me, jack" replied the Sec
ond young man. II never saw that
guy before"
Closing his eyes as though in deep
pain, the elderly gentleman stumbled
off down the street, murmuring nought
save the words: "Thank you, guys
"Who's the old guy?" asked the Sec
ond young man curiously.
"Some crazy guy, 1 guess" replied
the first young man, struggling his
shoulders.-"Two Guys and a Guy" in
Puck.

AirpIanes and Ash Trees.

A timber expert states that the de.
mand for ash has gone up so enormous.
ly since we went in for airplane con.
struction on the present big scale that
prices are fully three times what they
were in pre-war days, says London
Tit-Bits. Nothing but the very best
English ash serves the purpose. 'The
finest in the world" is his verdict. Elk
periments with other wood, notably
American spruce, have yielded most
disappointing results, and it is a curl
GUS fact, due to climatic causes, that
Irish ash is unsatisfactory too. But
an ash tree cannot be grown in day.
The timber is utterly worthless for air
plane purposes unless it is at least
sixty years old. 1t is all the better if
it is double that age, when some of
the trunks can show a clear straight
run Of 80 feet or more.

Not So Funny After All.

Canon Anger was very found of chill
dren and set out one night to attend
a party given "by children for chill
dren."
"Don't announce me-" he said to the
servant.
Leaving his coat and hat downstairs
he quietly opened the drawing room
door, where the buzz of voices an
nounced the presence of company.
Dropping on his hands ond knees he
entered, making strange noises dis
tinctly resembling the neighing Of
horse. Aware Of a dead silence, he
looked up, and found the guests as
sembled for an eight o'clock dinner
regarding him with disgust, not UNI
mixed with alarm.
The children's party was next door.
