Far beyond any attraction Of a sim

bring home to every heart its benign

Plants Arm Themselves.

Many plants protect themselves from
their enemies by the use of spikes or
prickles, and venom. just as certain
animals do. OF those using the first
named device to make themselves
'armed to the teeth" the bramble, the
gorse, and the holly are familiar in
stances. Among those which protect
themselves with venom as reptiles do
are the deadly nightshade, or BELLA
donna, and the nuX voinica. Less de-
structively inclined are those plants
which are simply protected by their
dlsagreeable taste. The common but
tercup, which is one of these, is gen.
orally Stunned by horses and cattle.
A plant which, like the skunk, is pro-
tected by disagreeable smell is the
figworm. Only that hardy and insensi-
tive animal, the goat, will touch 1t.

NOW THE FOLDING BUNGALOW
Danger Of Being shunted HaIf.Dressed
From Bedroom to Parlor 10 an
Exciting Possibility.

Our Imagination is greatly taken and
likewise titillated by the description of

five, at the owners pleasure. The par
titions run on ball bearings, and can
he shifted as easily as the trick doors
and ceilings in that ancient spectacle
which you may remember-HanlOn's
Phantasma, observes the st. Louis
Globe-Democrat.
In this phantasm of a bungalow you
may have a room 13 by % feet in case
you desire to give party or entertain
your friends at musicale. If refresh
ments are served, the remainder of the
house contains kitchenette.
Afte" your guests depart, you begin
showing partitions about-clack. clack,
clack-just like that, and two bed
chambers appear completely furnished,
the bedroom furniture opening out
from the walls, where 1t has been as
neatly packed as the wings of but
teriy In its chrysalis. In this wonder.
full structure, we understand, walls
fold together as handlly as four sec
tions OF n fire screen, with hinges work.
ing both ways.
We suppose, when several persons
are in the house, due warning must be
given before the metamorphosis be-
gins. One wouldn't like to be shunted
half-dressed from his bedroom into the
parlor or dropped gently on the flower
bed in the front yard by his apart
ment unexpectedly turning wrong-side
out. Then, too, is there danger of be-
ing inadvertently packed against the
ceiling for n whole day, and left there
until evening, when the house takes on
its nocturnal shape again?
The folding bungalow impresses us
as an up-to-date Improvement, only to
be excelled by one that can be col
lapsed, laid upon truck and carried
about the country whithersoever one
wishes to wander.

TRICKS OF THE SH0PLIFTER
This New York Man Used Fishhook
and Line to Pull Desired Article
Up Into His Sleeve.

A man walked Into big New York
department store and asked to be
shown some silk petticoats, says the
Pathfinder. The average person would
have seen nothing unusual In the way
he leaned over the counter and fin
gered the silks, but to the store detec-
tive, trained to keep a sharp eye out
for crooks aSd light-fingered customers,
his actions appeared suspicious.
Moving casually In his direction, she
heard him say: "These things are no
good. You see it's my wife's birthday
tomorrow and want to get her some
thing nice. Please see If you haven't
something better" The clerk turned
to take down more petticoats from the
shelves, and while she was thus en-.
gagged the detective saw silk skirt
rise from the counter and crawl, al
most like live thing, up the vOlumin-
Gus sleeve of the mans coat.
She had him taken to the Office.
There four silk skirts and several
dhinty, expensive pieces of merchan-
disc were taken from his sleeves, His
method of operating was readily dis
covered; a string with big fishhook
attached to its end ran up his sleeve.
While he fingered over the goods, pre-
tending to examine them, he would
deftly thrust the hook into whatever
pleased his fancy. Then he would
maneuver to take the clerks attention
away from the counter and by pulling
on the string draw the garment up into
his big sleeve.

How Eating Affects Health.

What we eat has far more to do with
our health than anything else. To be
sure, regular exercise, good air and n
vacation in the country will improve
the physical condition. But beyond
them and above them the best setting
up exercise is the exercise of Clean
juicy, sun-cooked fruits and vegetables
in the blood stream. Richer and fuller
life will leap in the veins when the cir
culation has been freed from the ia
vorite poisons. Then there will be u
zest in every hour. Desire for hard
work and an ability to concentrate the
mind on the most arduous problems
and pressing duties, pleasant or un-
pleasant, will be faced with poise-
and mental clarity hardly known in the
days Of the stimulating poisons with
their false fire and their subtle evils
mining and undermining the blood
stream. For the blood is the life.
Friends and acquaintances armed
with knowledge OF food values will
no doubt launch them mt your head
with much concern when they hear
that you are giving the diet trial.

Majority Of Pope. Italians.

OF nearly 300 popes who have held
Office since the establishment of the
papacy, a large majority were Roman
or Italian by birth. During the first
three centuries of the Christian era
several of the popes were Greek. Pope
Damascus, A. d. 1856 to 1884, was Span
ish; Popes Hilarius, A. d. 461, and
Symmachus, 49S. were Sardinians; /;
Leo II, A. D. 6S2, Sergius, 697 and
Stephen ", A. d. 76S. were Sicillan; ;
Gregory v, 996, and Leo TX, 1O49.
We're German; Sylvester II. 800, and
Nicolas II, 1859, were French, as were
Urban ", 1861, and Clement ~. 1865; ;
Hadrian ", A. d. 1854, was English,
and Hadrian vi, A. d. 1922, was
Dutch. Pope Alexander vi, who was
in office in 1892, when America was
discovered, was Spanish.

Cutting Makes the Hair Grow.

According to Dr. William Allen Pus-
sey, the hair grows a half an inch II
month until II reaches its natural
length. With men the natural length Is
from eight to twelve inches. With
women 1t grows anywhere from eight
cen inches to their heels.
The hair grows faster in summer
than In winter because of the greater
activity Of the skin In warm weather.
The hair also grows <.ister when cut of.
The reason for this Is based upon the
general principle that whenever tissue
Is called upon to make up n deficit 1t
generally comes to the rescue with
added energy. If you cut of your hair
there Is the stimulus Of increased de-
mnnd placed upon nature to make your
hair reach its natural length.

RealnnIna Of Letter Writing.

The actual period of the beginning
of letter writing is, like many other of
the familiar things of today, lost in the
mists of time, observes writer in the
New York Evening World. Probably
the earliest historical records of epis-
tolary achievements are found in the
days of the Egyptians under the Phar-
aohs and of the Greeks who wrote
out their social or business communi-
cations on blocks of stone or wood. But
for the first letter writer of distinction
1t Is necessary to turn to the Book of
Kings, where in chapter 81, verses to
10, we are told how Queen Jezebel,
wife Of Ahab, wishing to compass the
death of Naboth, wrote letters In
Ahab's name and sealed them with his
seal and sent the letters unto the eld-
ers and to the mobiles that were in his
city and that dwelt with Naboth," these
dignitaries suggesting plot which
ended in the death of Naboth by ston-
ing.
