Searching parties were sent to the hills and they were found almost at the end of the food supply.

TYPISTS MAKE BAD ERRORS
Slips Are Very Amusing in Some In
stances, and Hard to Explain
In Many Others.

If some lady typists can make a
mistake they will, and some of their
efforts are very amusing, humorist
relates. One typist produced the re-
mark, in regard to rather conceited
man, that "his one weakness was on
ion sauce" the real word being "om-
nisclence." Another, in an obituary of
a great theologian, spoke of his belief
in the "immorality of the SOUL" Just
the omission of the ST. from 'immor-
tally" made all the difference.
Some few years ago a speaker at Il
meeting waxed very sympathetic over
the death of the wife of a manager Of
the company at some fever-stricken
place in West Africa, and the report
ers who were afterwards getting out
this speech together to save time were
in a jocular mood. At the end of
the pathetic Grafton the one who was
debating said, for a joke, and to
amuse the others, Loud Laughter"
and the foolish girl, who was as much
a machine as the typewriter at which
she sat, actually put the words in.
Moreover, they appeared in print in a
financial newspaper, and a very hum
BILE apology had to be made by the edi-
tor afterwards, although any explana-
ton Of the slip" was impossible.

MAY USE KENTUCKY STONE
Product of Blue Grass State Believed
as Good and Cheap as BaVarian
Article.

1t is believed that after the war is
over photographic stone quarried in
Kentucky may be put on the mar
ket as cheaply as the Bavarian stone
which has been the principal source
of supply for long time. Small
quantities of the Kentucky stone have
been sold already, but the high cost of
labor in this country and the difficulty
of working the stone have kept it out
of serious competition with the foreign
product.
The European stone occurs in thin
layers, which require little but planning
and polishing after being removed
from the quarry. The American stone
is in beds from three to ten feet thick
md must be sawed into thin layers be-
fore it is ready for use.
The Bavarian quarries have been
worked so long that vast piles of waste
have accumulated that must be moved
from time to time thus adding to the
cost of production. The American
quarries have found a market for the
crushed refuse from their quarries
and this by-product helps reduce the
cost.
The better grades of photographic
stone bring five to six cents a pound
for slabs ten by twelve inches and
the poorer grades a cent and half
pound.

A short time ago, an article was
widely published about a valuable
hunting dog which had been fitted with
eyeglasses for astigmatism. Probably
most people who read it, laughed and
thought it a fake.
The modern science of fitting eye
glasses, however, makes it possible to
fit a dog, or any other dumb animal,
with a lens which will correct its eye
sight. Up-to-date methods have brought
about the invention of instruments by
which the error of the human eye can
be accurately measured, and lenses to
correct the error prescribed without
asking the patient a single question.
The silent method" is very rarely used
exclusively, however, except in the
case of the foreigner, or our friend the
dog, when no interchange of thought
can be effected and the examiner must
rely entirely upon the findings of his
instruments.-Wel Magazine.

The No Breakfast Plan.

The notwithstanding habit often Gre
ateS an abnormal stomachic condition,
says Physical Culture Magazine. If
one is in perfect health, and arises
with a keen appetite for breakfast,
there will be no occasion for emitting
the meal. There are, however, but few
in perfect health, and the omission of
breakfast gives the stomach a chance
to adjust itself. 1t has an opportunity
to develop a keen appetite for the par
ticular character 0 nourishment most
needed by the body at that time. The
no-breakfast plan is a splendid means
of properly adjusting ones appetite,
both as to quantity and character Of
food.

CarnauIsa Wax.

Carnauba wax is made from the
leaves of the carnauba plant, indigen-
Gus to the state of Piauhy, Ceara, and
Rio Grande do Norte, in northeastern
Brazil, whose roots are used locally as
medicine, whose branches are used for
bridge and housebuilding because they
resist the attacks of insects and whose
fibers are used in rope and paper
making; the wax has been used extern
sively in adulterating beeswax, but is
finding an honest market on its mer-
its, not only for candle manufacture,
but for coating the insulating mate

production of wax in Rio Grande do

fourths of this is exported but the for

PILLORY DREADED BY ALL
Ancient Form of Punishment That
Frequently Was Made Savage if

1t is less than century ago since
the pillory was abolished in Britain.
The pillory, as a form of torture was

accounts, it had larger history in Ger.
many than in this country.
It's form is, OF course, familiar to all.

nails. Occasionally a prominent and in.
fluential personality would be sen.
fenced to detention in the pillory, as
was Lord COchrane, but, fortunately
for his lordship, the punishment was
never carried out. Strange scenes were
often witnessed at the pillory, as in
1879, when the offender was supplied
with refreshments during his impris

or by means of an umbrella.-Londor

Orioin Of Life on Planets.

The many speculations that have
been published concerning the origin
Of life on the earth and on any other
bodies in the universe where it may
possibly exist usually assume that, in
some way or other, "llfe germs" are
transported across the CULTS of space
from one planet to another. Thus 1t
has been suggested that life may have
been brought to the earth in meteors.
One of the most recent suggestions is
that minute life germs" may escape
from the atmosphere of a planet IN
which life exists, just as molecules of
the atmospheric gases are believed to
escape from our terrestrial atmosphere,
and may be driven by light-pressure to
some world where physical conditions
have become suitable to support life.
While there is nothing essentially alb
surd in these hypothesis, it is not
clear why their authors should take it
for granted that life cannot originate
de novo on cooling planet.-Scientific

"Od Parr" was an Englishman
whose proper name was Thomas Parr
and who broke the modern record by
living to the ripe old age Of one hun

Overeating is common cause of
emaciation. paradoxical as this state
ment may seem. Many of our thin
nest neighbors are the biggest eaters
of the community, Physical Culture
Magazine says. 1t is an old-fashioned
saying that these people "eat so much
that it makes them thin to carry it
around" In any case, it is not ques-
ton Of the amount of food one swal-
lows, but a question of how much is
digested and assimilated. Many per-
sons will gain in weight upon discon-
tinuing the three-meal plan and adopt
ing the plan of two meals per day. The
stomach is then no longer Overbur-
dened or overworked, and the diges-
ton is so much more perfect and the
health so improved that gain in
weight results naturally.

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cnred

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion OF the ear.
There is only one way to cure catarrhal
deafness, and that is 10y a constitutional
remedy. Catarrhal Deafness is caused
by an inllamed condition Of the mucous
lining of the liustachian Tube. When
this tube is inllamed you have rumb!-
ing sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result. Unless the Inflammation
car be reduced and this tube restored
to It's normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever. Many cases Of
deafness are caused by catarrh, which
is an inlamed condition of the mucous
surfaces. Hairs Catarrh Medicine
