FEW ARTICLES GO TO WASTE
Not Many Realize How Many Seem
lngIy Useless Articles Have
Value as Merchandise.

Many people imagine when an arti-
Gle is cast into the dust bin its days
are ended. This, however, is not SO.
for all the contents of dust carts are
carefully sorted and they are emp
tied, anything of value being put
aside. says the Philadelphia Inquirer
Disregarding things such as scissors
and knives, many corporations are
making big profit out of their dust"
You wouldn't think that there would
be any value in egg shells, yet every
year as many as 400 tons are required
in the manufacture of so-called kid
gloves and also in printed calico.
Corks, too, are valuable item, for
they sell to manufacturers at the rate
of nine cents pound and in year
no fewer than $5O0,0OO worth are
thrown away.
Cycles suffer number Of hardships
before they reach an absolute end. Old
tires are bought at quite a good price
by manufacturers for the rubber on
them-inner tubes are especially valu-
able-and go to make rubber mats and
cheap rubber toys. The frame sup
plies gasfitters with short lengths of
tubes, and the rest of the machine is
melted down to make fresh iron ar
ticle.

Safe AneSthesia.

Now that surgeons are in the habit
of removing the tonsils entirely, the
methods of anesthesia in vogue when
they were merely clipped have be-
come inadequate. For the operation
takes time, and the gas and oxygen
anesthesia does not last long enough
to permit of complete dissection of
both tonsils.
DR.. j. Blomfeld, senior anesthetist
of st. Georges hospital, London,
writes in the Lancet that he has
found the best general method, both
for children and adults, consists in
giving preliminary dose of atropine,
gradually producing a deep degree of
Inconsistencies by mixture Of
chloroform and ether, supplemented in
some cases by few minutes of open
ether. This generally suffices, he says.
and when it does not, he reapplies
chloroform from a junkers inhaler or
an open mask.

HEALTH ZIP WORTH NEEDING
Always Hold the Head High, Is Advice
Given by William MuIdoon of
World Fame.

In letter to Robert GrimshaW OF
the New York university, William Null
doom, who ranks as one of the fore
most remakers of physically broken
down men, gives advice that it would
be well for every man and woman, boy
and girl in America to take to heart,
according to Commerce and Finance.
He says:
81 was taught in early manhood not
to throw my shoulders back, stick my
chest out, draw my stomach in, or hold
my chin down like a goat preparing to
butt, but to always try and touch some
imaginary things with the crown of
my head. If one tries to do that-frst
understands how to try and then tries
he doesn't have to pay any attention
to the rest of his physical being; that
effort to touch something above him,
not with his forehead, but with the
crown of his head, will keep every
particle of his body in the position that
nature intended it should be. And as
a boy was advised to frequently
back up against the wall and make
the back of my head, my shoulders,
hips, heels, all press against the wall
at the same time and in that way get
an idea of what was straight, or, in
other words, how crooked 1 was be-
coming by dropping
Both to young and old Mr.. Null
doons "hold-your-head-up'' suggestion
is inspiring. Try it. The effect physic-
ally and mentally is immediate. When
the head goes higher the impulse is to
deeper breathing. A man finds more
elasticity in his limbs. He steps out
with more ease. There is more spring
to his gait. He isn't numbering, sham
bling creature, but man alive. With
the elevation of the crown of the head
there seems to come clearer thinking, a
more buoyant feeling and brighter
outlook.

Not Entirely New,

An item going the rounds to the
effect that yellow rambler rose has
been discovered by an explorer in
China, and that it's seed will shortly be
introduced into the United States,
where the species is now unknown,
has aroused, it would seem, the indig-
nation of half the gardeners in the lat
ter country. The item says, among
other things, "Those who take delight
in the crimson rambler will be glad to
welcome the new flower to this coun-
try" If one will look over the seed
and plant catalogues received this
spring it will be discovered that they
contain very pretty pictures of yell
low rambler rose that has long been
an early summer bloomer over a wide
area of the United States.

Historical Mystery.

Persons who have seen the $40 ma
tional coin certificate say it bears the
likeness of one Michael Hillegas. That,
at least, is the name legibly written
under the portrait. Is anybody in the
history class prepared to raise his
hand and explain who Michael Hille-
gas was and how his portrait comes to
adorn our larger pieces of money?
Biographical dictionaries and ency-
clopedias know him not. But wait
the coin certificate also says he was
the first treasurer of the United States.
With this clue the scholarly Boston
Transcript has looked him up and finds
he was wealthy sugar refiner who
helped finance the Revolution. That
information somewhat changes the
form of. the inquiry. Will any mem
her of the history class now raise his
hand and explain why Mr.. Hillegas,
being wealthy sugar refner, was not
made ice-president kansas City

Curiosity of Wireless.

The wireless service men with the
American punitive expedition into
Mexico, it is related, were surprised
to discover the conditions in that cOun.
try were exactly the reverse of those
in the United States, says the Wire
less Age In the United States the
wireless operators find that the night
time is much better for the transmits
sion of dispatches. South of the bor-
der the day time is best.
There is so much atmospheric dis
turbance at night in Mexico that wire
less men prefer the day as a time for
operating. This is not due to the alti-
tude, which is 1000 feet, but to the
minerals in the mountains, especially
iron ore.

Anglo-Irish Tunnel Again Discussed.


For the last fifty years the proposal
to construct a tunnel between Eng
land and Ireland has been discussed.
1t is again receiving some attention,
suggested by political and military de-
velopments within the last few weeks.
The tunnel, as an international
utility, would shorten the journey to
the United States and Canada by 48
hours, and would only cost $S0,O0O,O 600.
Between the coast of Wigtownshire
on one side and those of Antrim and
Down on the other there lay at one
time a loch about 25 miles long, and
varying from 900 to 900 feet In depth
and this loch, known to biologists ss
Beaufort's Dyke, still lies beneath the
waters of the North Channel.
Curiously enough, it is beneath this
loch, which lies north and south about
midway between the Irish and Scottish
coasts, that it is proposed to run the
tunnel.

rwo Famous Scotch Cities.

Glasgow has much of the picturesque
about her, but she never gets credit
for it because Edinburgh is in the
neighborhood. Edinburgh is pic
turesque in such a spectacular fashion
that no other Scotch city has much of
q chance, So it is taken for granted
that Edinburgh represents the Scot
land that is put on canvas and Glas-
gov, the Scotland that goes into bank
books. Under more favorable circum-
stances Glasgow might have won a
name In both lines, but as 1t is. she

What, Indeed!

1t was very serious conversation
that was overheard by a number of
passengers of street car the other
night. Two young girls of the 'giddy''
bilities of the United States getting
into trouble with Mexico.
''Well. / certainly would hate to see
all the American soldiers go down into
Mexico" one girl said
"Why?" her companion inquired.
Because, while the soldiers were
down in Mexico what would prevent
the Europeans from coming over here

way to understand a Biblical term is
to study the way in which it is used
in the Bible. So we may arrive at the
meaning of temptation by a study of
the word in the New Testament.
In the ninth chapter of the Acts, the
twenty-sixth verse, we read: "And
when he was come to Jerusalem, he
assayed to join himself to the disciples
and they were all afraid of him, not
believing he was a disciple" This ref
erence is to Paul after his conversion.
The word translated "assayed" is our
word tempted Here it means that
Paul endeavored or tried to join him
self to the disciples.
Turning to the Revelation, chapter
two, verse two, we read: "Thou hast
tried them that say they are apostles
and are not and found them liars"
This time our word is translated
tried" and means to try in the sense
of testing to ascertain the quality; as
for example, metals are tried. In this
same sense the word is used of u
Lord when we read: "For in that he
himself hath suffered being tempted,
he is able to succor them hat are
tempted" (Heb. 2:18.) That is, our
Lords steadfastness or moral quality
was tried; it stood the test and be-
carsse-it did, he is able to deliver the
tempted.
Christ's experience in the wilderness
helps us to understand that tempta-
ton may be an endeavor to draw M
away from virtue by suggestion to sin.
This is probably the common idea of
the word. Yet, it by no means COM
prehends all there is in the experience
of temptation. We, therefore, con-
'clude from our study that anything
which tries Or proves one as to his
character, his faith. his steadfastness,
whether it be a testing under trial or
a solicitation to do evil, is a tempta-
ton.
Paul in his epistle to the Galatians
(4:14) speaks of his temptation in the
flesh. Whatever that was, it vas some
sort Of a serious bodily ailment, for in
the verse preceding he says: Through
infirmity of the flesh 1 preached the
gospel unto you" Well, we say, what
is there in physical suffering to cause
a child of God to rejoice? No doubt
about the fact that a physical ailment
tests Christian character, but where
does rejoicing come in? Let us revert
again to Paul, who tells us he be.

for thee" And Paul by physical suf-
fering, learned what he could not learn
in any other way, the sweetness and
suficiency of Gods grace.
Only today I met a friend who had
been sick. He said to me-: "When I
had in my life. 1 was so happy; the
Lord was very les and precious" He,
you see, was rejoicing because he ex-
perienced what many a suffering child
has-the nearness and p~reciousness of
God.
Outward circumstances like the fiery
trials Peter speaks of Il Peter 4:12)
may be the temptation of some,
but few in these days suffer sever
persecution; but how many do know
what real adversely and affection are,
the loss of a loved one, position, prop
erty? How can they rejoice? But
they do, as 1 know. I have seen them
smiling through the tears; I have
heard them say: "Bless God, it's all
right" And as they drew a fresh
supply from the fountain of his grace,
l have heard them sing with new
meaning and power, "Praise God from
whom all blessings flow." One whom
| knew well, who suffered more Sc
verely than most men, said to me,
when I offered my sympathy: "If
had my choice of freedom or trial such
as l have passed through, knowing
what I now do of God and his grace. !
would choose trial" He, too, you see,
%rejoiced in that he had fallen into
temptation and his testimony makes
the reason for his rejoicing obvious.
There are, indeed, some paths we must
travel if we are to know God.
How many of us think of prosperity
as temptation? Yet the word a Y
''They that will be rich, fall into temp
tation." l sometimes think that moth
ing so tests Christian character as
prosperity. Many a Christian has Ship
wrecked his life spiritually on pros
perity's rock. He %prospered and then
he forgot God he forgot the Bible he
forgot to pray; he forgot the church
n today, though wealthy, he is a
spiritual derelict.
