to believe that Lee Fohl will pilot

How lt Has Grown Since It's Origin In
 Revolutionary TineS.
 It was first granted to Revolutionary soldiers during the war. then to cabi- net officers and members of congress for official correspondence and public documents. At first members of con gress only had the privilege during the session of congress, but later 1t was ex- tended to cover the whole year and pri- vate correspondence. The first four presidents had 1t for life, and 1t was granted to the widows of some former presidents. But abuse grew up, and the privilege was considerably curtailed.
 At present the following mail matter may be sent free: All public documents printed by order of congress, the Con gressional Record and speeches con tained therein. franked by members of congress or the secretary of the sen ate or clerk of the house. Seeds trans mitted by the secretary of agriculture or by any member of congress procur- ed from that department. Letters and packages relating exclusively to the business of the government of the United States. mailed org by officers of the same. and letters and parcels mailed by the Smithsonian institution. All these must be covered by specially printed penalty" envelopes or labels.
 The vice president, members and members elect to congress may frank any mail matter to any government official or to any person correspondence not over four ounces in weight upon official or departmental business. All communications to government officers aud to members of congress are requir- ed to be prepaid by stamps unless in closed in penalty" envelopes furnished for rreplies.-Philadelphia Press.

"TNO-BIT" BOARD

We are gradually getting down to concrete figures in the various ad- ventures in economical dietary. Chicago eSperimenters lived well and gained weight on an allowance Of less than 40 cents 2 day to each individual. Since then several squads have proven the possibility of 30-cent diet Just now squad of New York policemen is holding weight on an allowance of 25 cents day, an! then menus appear to be snme distance away from starvation
 Fer instance, on one day the New York policemen breakfast on oat- meal and milk toast and coffee; for luncheon they had boiled marcaloni, chees, cornbread and tea; for dinner they had meat loae, fresh fried potatoes, graham JreaJ, date pudding and tea. Tea it will be observed displcaes coffee as au economical and efficien' drink, and the diet leans, in spots to uomattening foods.
 Wnue these experiments will be oS yqiue in pointing the way to food economy, there are many peo- pie wlc will none of it. Good things 10 eat are quite important to thousands of Americans, regard less O. food cost. Yet there is a strong argument for economy, not oury for the purse but for the physical health. One who haibtua- ly indulges in rich foods pays pen alties sor it in money, in health and iu shortened life.
 It seems to be fairly well demon stratef that one may provide whole sCme and sufficient food at a cost og 25 cents a day. At this rate the high cost of living ceases to be an iuporIant issue. There may be some demur at date and pr7lne Pud- ding, but doubtless, if these prove too bizarre, something as efficient may be provided at the same cost. To these who care to conserve both purse and health, the menus of the New York policemen seem worth considering in this crisis.

INDIANS AND MEDICINE.
A Funny Way of Giving a Sick Child
 pose of Oil.

The Indian, says the Rev. J. Hines In his book "The Red Indians of the Plains" has the idea that any kind of medicine Is equally good for all com plaints. He believes in drastic meas ures, and unless he feels the effect of the second dose of the medicine he loses faith in 1t and gives up taking 1t. He prefers purgatives and emetics, but even in them the Indian is wont to discriminate, and he thinks castor oil Is especially good medicine"
 Very often mothers would send to the mission for castor oil for their in fants and then come the next day and complain that the medicine had not op- erated and that the child had done nothing but cry ever since 1t took the medicine. Then my wife would pour out another teaspOonful and hand it to the mother and request her to admin ister 1t in her presence. The child would object as most children do, and that part of the oil that left the spoon would triclle down the cheek of the child.
 The mother, partly to remove the oil and partly to pacify the child, would give the child kiss that covered the whole of It's cheek and in 30 doing would remove the oil with her lips and swallow it herself Then she would lick the spoon clean, hand 1t back to my wife, and that Is the way Indian women give castor oil to their children. After witnessing this performance we had no difficulty in understanding why the child got no benefit from the pre- yiouS dose.

Preservina Spiders Webs.

NaturaliSts employ an ingenious method of preserving all kinds of spi- ders' webs. The webs are first spray ed with an atOmizer with a thin so- lutiOn of artists shellac, and then, should they be of the ordinary geo. metric form, they are pressed careful ly against a glass plate, the supporting strands at the same time being sev- cred. After the shellac solution has dried the plates carrying the webs can be stored away in q cabinet. Even dome shaped webs may be preserved in their original form by spraying them with shellac and then allowing them to dry before removal from their supports. Many spiders webs are very beautiful, and all are characteristic of the species to which they belong, 50 that from a scientific standpoint their permanent preservation Is very deslr- able.

GLASS IN THE EARLY AGES.
It Was Always coloFed and Opaque, as
 q Rule. Until Inc Year 600 3. c.

Somewhere in the neighborhood of $500 years before the Christian era are found records of the existence of glass, the earliest in history. Some well preserved specimens have quite recently been discovered in the sepui- chers of the period of 2500 B. c. Ike glass of Egypt was generally opaque, rarely transparent, always colored and used for the making 'of articles of adornment, such as beads, vases of blue glass with finely chased wavy lines fin white, light blue, yellow, black and red.
 It was not until nearly 2,OO0 years later-or 600 B. C., to be eXact-that transparent glass came into use for the manufacture of bottles and goblets. By this time, however, Egyptian glass had been extensively exported to Greece and Italy, the furnaces of Alex andria, under the Ptolemies, producing glass vases of beauteOus design.
 To the Phoenicians have many au- thorities awarded credit for the dis covery attributed to the Egyptians, and 1t Is certain that Sidon, the capi- tai of Phoenicla, was at very early period famous for glassware made by Artas and Irenawus from the sand brought down from Mount Carmel
 While specimens of Egyptian and Phoenician glass were found in Greece in the time of HerodOtus and Aris- tophanes, 1t was not until $50 B. c. that It's sSmanufacture in the form of en- graved stones and cameos became con- mon among the Hellenes, the sphere of Archimedes, for example, being made of this substance.
 From decaying Rome the manufac- ture of glass was transferred to Con- stantinople, thence in the seventh cen tury to Venice, which for many hun dreds of years was to remain the cen ter of the industry, the Venetian gob- lets and drinking cups being exported all over the Exchange.

Survival of the Fittest.

The expression the survival of the Attest" grew out of the publication of Darwin's Origin of Species" in which he shows that animals, which were ht- test to survive in the given conditions under which they lived, did survive tn the struggle for existence, while the weaker-namely, the species less fitted for the struggle against their sur roundings-died out. This is also ap- piled to human species and has been generally applied to races, nations and civilizations, as well as individuals, those that survive being Attest to cope with conditions within and without.

GAUDY HEAD COVERINGS.
Glrls and Women In Haiti Have a
 Fashion All Their Own.

There are in Haiti probably 100000 women and girls over ten years of age, and at least S95,OO0 of them wear the ''mouChoir tete," or handkerchief. This is wound around the head bandanna fashion. One of silk or a mercerized goods, with brocaded figures woven in 1t, and locally called "fOulard' is usual ly kept for Sundays and special occa- sioIS; others of pSntS or calico are used for everyday wear, according to "COmmerce Reports"
 The tastes run the whole gamut of colors. Women who are in mourning and the practice of putting on mourn ing for deceased relatives not of the immediate family Is common-wear solid black or black and white or black, white and blue designs. Black Is a fla vorite color with the people anyway. Combinations of black and red are we'll liked also stripes in blues and blacks on a white ground. Yellow and red, black, red and yellow and blue and white checks called madras" are very popular, particularly yellows and blacks or a combination of yellow, black and white and various other star ting color schemes.
 These hues, except the blacks, do not appear to be very fast" cOlors, and 1t has been suggested by a dealer that more enduring dyes would soon find fla vor among the buyers, particularly if some distinguishing mark could be put on each kerchief by which the desired brand could be easily distinguished.

WHEN EGGS COME REAL HIGH
Returned Diplomat peelares Hen
Fruit Cost S12.60 Each In
City Of Mexico.

It Is a weird tale Of finance and
food costs which has been brought to
st. Louis by Henry Herschkowitz,
formerly translator at the United
States embassy. City of Mexico.
Herschkowitz said he was forced to
leave Mexico by II. G. L.
Articles of food in the Mexican cap
ital have different prices, according to
the kind Of money paid for them. An
egg, for example, only costs 10 cents In
silver money. But in Mexican paper
money the same egg will cost % pesos.
The peso for many years has been
considered worth 80 cents in United
States money. thus bringing the egg
price to $3.50. But the money chang
ers declare the value Of the peso has
deprecated to one-quarter Of cent.
1t Is the same with butter. A pound
Of medium quality butter can be pur-
chased in the City Of Mexico for only
$1.25 United States money. 1t will
cost $3.50 In Mexican silver and 625
pesos in paper money.
Even in the United States coin the
price Of shoes has doubled, while corn
is $50 per cent higher than in 1913,
and charcoal is $50 per cent higher.
Charcoal Is universally used for cook
ing.
According to Herschkowitz, there is
no police protection In the City OF
Mexico. Instead, martial law prevails,
but It does not prevent the holder

though detection means not a trial
but immediate execution.--St. Louis
