Aoave Tree of Mexico,

Chinese history records that one Hui
Shen, a Buddhist priest, a native OF
Cabul, in the year 400 returned to
King Chow, capital of the dynasty OF
Tsi, bringing with him from the coun
try of Fusang, where he had been
acting as a missionary, a number OF
curious articles as gifts for the en-
perOr. Among these were a material
resembling silk, with very strong
threads, and a mirror. From the de
scriptions the former is believed to
have been fibrous material from the
agave tree of Mexico, called by the
missionary, ''fusang" the name also
applied to the country, and the lat
ter is believed to have been not I'M
like mirrors used in Mexico and other
parts of the American continent.

Home Obedience.

In discussing criminals thinker
said: II firmly believe that the re-
sponsibllity for the majority Of crimes
rests not upon the criminals themselves
but upon the shoulders of their pa
rents!" At first that may sound like
a very extreme statement, but upor
second thought is it after all an exag
geration? The speaker followed ur
his first statement with a second: "a
child who is not taught the value OF
obedience In the home will be less like
ly to respect the laws enacted by com
munities for the good of that larger
family-humanity."
From this point of view the obedi'
ence of little folks assumes mammoth
proportions for they are not only chill
dren, but citizens in the making.

sMy hat" said Mr.. Bits. 81 be-
lieve that little brute has ruined 1t. I
declare it's too bad"
That was why Margaret went walk
ing, little later, instead of driving.
And yet Ethelbert had given her the
goldfish, in the first place!
A week later, this young man came
forth melancholic from an interview
with Miss Schofield. He had received
the information from her-in a gen.
eral way-there were times in a girls
life when the man who appeals to her
must be of the general type of al
senior in college; and that-generallyI
speaking-if a girl feels that way, the
best thing she can do may be-in gen.
eral-to "wait" for that senior. Gen.
orally speaking, she added, she be-
lieved so.
AS Mr.. Bits walked glo0mily down
the street he passed grOcer's wagon
which bore the title, Jacob r. KrishI
& Co" Attached to the wagon was an
elderly bay horse, and attached to the
elderly bay horse was black tail.
And on the other side of the horse,
concealed from the view of Mr.. Bits,
stood two boys, staring morbidly at
the black tail.
"Yes, sir" said Sam Williams, "a
nigger told me that the reason mine
never turned to a snake was because
you have to keep it three weeks with
out ever lookin' at it. If you look at
it even once, just to see how it's get
tin along it's spoiled. Well, we kept
lookin' at 'em-a hundred times day,
| bet-and that's what was the mat
ter with 'em! That's why they didn't
turn"
"Mine woulda!" insisted Penrod lat
terly. "There wasn't anything wrong
with mine. Mine woulda turned, any
wayw =
Mr.. Ethelbert Magsworth Bits did
not overhear this conversation. And if
he had, he could not have understood
it. Much less could he have traced
any connection between a hair from
the tail of Jacob r. Kirsh's elderly
horse and the fact that Ethelbert Mags.

willingly a bachelor. =

"Well, who said he didn't? I didn't
say he didn't, did II"
"Well, who said you did say"
"Come on!' interrupted PenrOd.
Lets go back and look at mine."
"No, sir! 1 want to watch my own
snake change, don't I? You better
stay here and wait till he's all good
and changed, then we'll go and see If
yours"
'No, sir!" shouted Penrod over his
shoulder as he started home on the
trot. I'm goin' back to watch good
snake!"
He passed through the kitchen of
his own home at the same gait, disre-
garding a request by Katie, the house
maid, for a hearing.
"Mister Penrod," she began, 'Td like
to know what fer you want"
"Cat fur !" facetiously shouted Pen
rod, already ascending the back stairs.
"Cat fur, to make kitten britches
With"
Next moment, a fearful howl is
sued from Margaret's room. Mrs. Scho-
field, hurrying thither from her own
apartment, encountered her son in the
passageway.
"Penrod, what's the matter?"
"Where's my snakeT
"Where's what?"
"My Snake!'' he beloved. II want
my snake! Where's my sna-a-keT
"Penrod, are you crazy?" she cried.
"What on earth are YOU"
"My snake! 1 left it on Margaret's
bureau and it's gone! Who's took it?
Who's been in there? Who's got my
snake?"
Mrs. Schofield began to be alarmed
in earnest, her sons manner and look
were frantic, and his words, to her, in
comprehensive.
"Penrod," she said nervously, "yop
must take some castor oil. There
wasn't any snake in Margaret's room.
heard her come upstairs for some
thing a minute ago, and go in there.
If there'd been a snake there she'd
have screamed, but she went down
stairs again, and"
So did Penrod go downstairs again.
He plunged, three steps at time, and
exploded himself into the parlor,
where Margaret sat Cooking family

worth Bits (who had come to
take her to drive and was frowning)
and Mr.. Robert Williams (who had
come to take her for walk. and was
scowling), and the gold fish (who

Straiuht and Curly Hair.

The question of the manner of the
production of the straight and curly
varieties of the hair has long been
matter of conjecture, and hitherto no
satisfactory explanation has been
Forthcoming. 1t is only known that
straight hair is always circular in
section and. is usually thicker than
curly hair, which is ribbOnlike and
fine. Each hair is provided with Sc
baceous gland opening into it, tOgeth-
er with a muscle connected with it.
The size of the gland varies cOnSid.
erably in different individuals and ap-
pears larger and better developed in
the negro races. The muscle connect.
ed with each gland has long been rec
Ognized as having an influence on the
position of the hair, causing it's erec-
ton by pulling forward the root of the
hair. Such action of these little mus
cles Is displayed when a cat in rags
erects the hair of its tail or a straight
haired dog causes the hair of its back
to rise in a median crest. Their in
fluence in man is commonly observed
in the condition known as "goose
skin.'

snakeless. There are some things

"What time is it getting to beT'
Penrose suddenly inquired aloud.
There was a little clock on Mar
garets dressing table, but 1t had
stopped. Upon an impulse, he jump
ed up and ran downstairs to the kitch-
en-. There the noisy old wall-clock
reassured him soothingly. 1t marked
fifteen minutes after ten.
"Yay Penrod"
This was shout from the yard, and
going to the door, Penrod beheld sam
williams, radiant with excitement.
"Come on over to our stable" shout
ed Sam. "Come on! Come on and look
at him."
Penrod did not stop for his hat; a
Jealous fear, suddenly reused, added
fear to his feet. And when they
reached Sans stable he was profound
ly resolved to find Sans 'snake" no
more advanced toward the great trans
formation than his own. He expressed
the opinion, indeed, that this was much
further along.
"Why, how could it be?" demanded
Sam resentfully. 'T've been sittin' here
lookin' at mine ever since breakfast,
and never took my eyes off him. Well,
sir. | saw him breathe-he did 1t lots
of times! You can't tell 1t just lookin'
at him this way. You got to keep
Iookin' at him and lookin' at him; you
bet saw him do it, all right! And
once he almost wiggled."
"'Almost wiggled! Mine did wig
gle!' Penrod said-and thereafter be-
lieved it.
"Well, sod mine," said Sam.

'Then why in the world don't you
come to breakfast?"
"Well. 1 am coming, amt II" His
tone was that of person unjustly at
tackled. "What you all dressed up for
this morning|
81 never did see such bOy!" Mar
garet exclaimed.
"You say that every day." Penrod re-
torted plaintively.
"PenrOd! Are you coming"
ayes. I'm ready" he announced un-
expectedly, having managed, with mis-
hands behind him, to conceal the bot
tie beneath his pillow.
Speeding from the table at the first
possible moment, he returned to his
own room, and, in the doorway, was
struck with an unnamed fear. Katie,
the hOusemaid was putting the room
in order; but she had not touched the
bed. Once more able to breathe, he Sc
cured the bottle and departed, carry
ing it under his jacket, in front, with
out Katie's noticing anything unusual
in his manner or bosom.
He started down the back stairs,
but retreated, hearing his mother be-
low, in conversation with the cook.

Horrors of the Sea.

A ship doctor on an English liner
notified the death-watch steward, an
Irishman, that a man had died in state
room number 45. The usual instruc'
tions to bury the body were given
Some hours later the doctor peered
into the room and found that the body
was still there.
He called the matter to the attention
to the Irishman, who replied:
81 thought you said room number 40
I wint in there and seen wan of thin
in bunk. Are We deadT says l; NO.
says he, but I'm pretty near dead 80
I was getting ready to bury him."

Proceeding to the top Of the front
stairs, he heard the voice of Margaret
and Mr.. Robert Williams, Sans
brother, senior on vacation. A
glance over the railing revealed the
collegian, beautifully attired, confront
ing Margaret, who leaned against the
newell post in way very irritating
to q brother who wished to get out
to the stable without being stopped or
questioned. When Margaret got her
back to the newell post like that, Pen
rod knew she might stay there "hOurs
and hours I"
Margaret" said Mr.. Williams, in a
voice wholly ineXplicable to Penrod, 81
believe you care more for the bowl of
gold fish, in yOnder, than you do for
me-"
Penrod retired from the hallway into
Margaret's room, and feeling satisfied
that she would not come there for q
long time, withdrew the treasure from
beneath his coat, set it upon her dress
ing table, and seated himself beside it.
Gold fish!
With the prospect before him of
what was going to happen at, or be-
fore, IS minutes of II, the lives of 9th
er people-whO had no hope of own
ing pet snakes, hatched in the bot
tle-seemed pitifully vacant. He felt
sorry for Robert Williams. He pit
led the young man for having nothing
better to do than to talk to an unin-
teresting girl about whether she liked
him as well as she did some gold
fish in a glass bowl!
A motor whizzed in the street, and.
glancing out of the window at his ell
bow, Penrod found occasion to be
sorry for another young man, evil
IDENTIFY coming to interview the uninter-
esting girl; and from various over
hearings of late, PenrOd had little
doubt that this one, too, would be dis
cuSsing at the first opportunity, what
Margaret liked.
He was a dainty, and exquisite
young man, more than well-to-do, much
encouraged by Mrs. Schofield; and it
was he who had given Margaret the
bowl of gold fish-which lends some
flavor to Robert Williams dismal COM
parison. Mr.. Ethelbert Magsworth
Bits was generally believed to be
very happy and fortunate youth; he
had yacht somewhere; he had mo-
tor car, then at the curb; he had
money enough to buy all the candy in
town if he chose: yet Penrod pitied
him. Sixteen minutes of eleven that
morning would find Mr.. Bits utterly

WAR TO TEACH
PUBLIC HYGIENE
Army Life More Healthful
Than Civilian, Say Mil
itary Men.

Army medical men predict that the
big lesson of the war, as Affecting civil
life in the United states. will be a
better application of hygiene and sani-
tation.
They point out that the great eco
nonic saving, brought about by army
health rules, will be so impressed on
the public that nothing short of dupli-
cation Of the most fundamental OF
those rules will suffice.
Records show the tremendous ad-
vantage of the soldier over his broth
er In peaceful pursuits. Take typhoid
fever, for instance. over period OF
one year there were 800 deaths from
typhoid among every 100000 men OF
military age outside the army. Fol
that same period only thirteen sol
diers succumbed to typhoid.
Vaccination, plus a knowledge OF
sanitation and a superior ability tc
apply the knowledge, accounts for the
army's health record.
1.-THE success of the army in reduc'
ing disease shows the vital need OF
better public health CONTROL" says Col
d. C. Howard. chief OF the sanitation
division in the Medical Corps. ''Ty-
phoid fever can be made as rare az
smallpox. The war is bringing out
the possibilities Of wonderful economic
saving through application of sant
health laws"
Pneumonia, which causes 63 pei
cent of all the deaths in the army. II
still fatal less often in military thar
in civil life.
Contrary to the average iayman's
belief, venereal diseases are about z
per cent less among soldiers thar
civilians.

of putting on the blue demi-trousers
Of the fatigue uniform. He has had
share in the fatigue work, but
will not drill. Part of his duty has
been chopping wood. This he did
well, for he is big and strong and
acts as though he was intended to
be a fighting man. Lawyers have
not shown any great eagerness to
uphold the War Department clerks
who oppose war and so Jardet has
taken up a study of law himself
from a correspondence school. He
intends to plead his own case.
Today Jardet refused a uniform. He
will be tried b. a court-martial this

scientious objectors have come from
many strange places, but the one
who has Just arrived from Wash
ington Is from the War Department
itself and has more than once been
there He Is Norval Jardet, who was
q clerk in the office Of the Adjutant
General and he speaks Of the work
going on there as something far re-
moved from war and in a way that
will be surprising to those who have
been pushing the nations big war
machine through the very clerical
work that Jardet did.
Jardet, like almost all objectors, Is
fluent. The others who came from
Washington and hope to get into the
fighting units and help smash the in
solent and barbarous Hun have no
patience with Jardet's talk They
avoid him. Some keep a long way

to the Lake Region and Ohio Valley. although
scattered rains have fallen in Kansas, Oklahoma

moderation in the high Temperatures in prae-
tically all districts where the heated spell Of the
last few days prevailed. The cooling has been
due mostly to local rains but in some States
the Temperature is still considerably above the

Thursday afternoon did not reach one hundred
