Another little loan of 1856, OOO,-

Sam is no fair weather friend.
AT first thought 1t appears per-
fectly jutifiable for the populace to
cave in the heads of a few of those
continually guilty of seditious ut
terances. but where would this
eventually lead us?"
1T will surely lead some of YOU
where you will do the most good
for the rest of us.

Urges Eatless Meal.

We have meatless, wheatless and

assistant professor at the university

such n sytem possible. He says:

MANY SUCKERS IN NEW YORK
Glib Tongue About All That Is Needed to Get the Money In Eastern
 Metropolis.

Gullfble and curious are the two chief characteristics of the smart guy, and. there Is no one who knows this better than the street fakir. One of those sharp-witted fakfrs with a gift of gab made cleanup in the financial district the other day, remarks the New York Tribune. He went down there just as the deckhands of the big corporations were pouring out of the skyscrapers for bite to eat. He had grip full of little black boxes that looked like cameras.
 "Here yer are," he shouted, ''fOr two nickels or one dime. The cutest little thing you can imagine. Stand on the sidewalk, fix this little box at the right angle, and you'll be able to look into a second-stOry window and see what's going on without the slightest incon- venience.
 'In the old way, when you wanted to peep through a keyhOle you went down on your launches, at some per sonal inconvenience. Besides, there was always the danger of being shot in the eye with hatpin or a knitting needle. Buy one of the cute little toys and you can stand on both feet, and, without endangering life or limb, you can see all that's going on in the room"
 Nearly every one who stopped fished out dime and bought one. Then a cop came along, the fakir slipped away and the crowd melted. Everybody who bought the little "camera" tried to work 1t 40 different ways, and then discovered that they had been stung.

"BoiIinq-Over" Guard.

Among the various devices which are intended to prevent milk from boiling over, report comes of one which solves the problem in very simple way, and the device is very cas- fly made up. It consists-of a straight tube of say two or three inches di. ameter at the tOp and expanding some what toward the bottom, where It is provided with fiarrng and cup-shaped end of rather large diameter, the whole being somewhat of a trumpet shape. Out of tha lower part are cut say four suitable openings, and tho device is set upright in the vessel with the small end just out of the liquid. Should the milk tend to boil violently this action commences at the bottom. and the liquid is forced up the tube, then falls upon the surface again, so that the boiling action will continue in this way and the milk has no tendency to leave the vessel.

How Rome EncOuraued Birth Rate.

How Rome Encouraged Birth Rate.
 To encourage the birth rate the Ro- mans made use of the age-long fight of women with property for the power to control it. This power that it took the women of England and America living under the English common law 2,5OO years longer to achieve was granted by Numa Pompilius, in 715 B. C., to women who were mothers of three children, who were privileged to have free administration of their own affairs without guardian or tutor" To the women who had inherited large fortunes this must have been an ex- ceedingly effective inducement to the rearing of large families, and an ex- cellent cOunteraction to the various in- fluences in Roman life which would tend to keep the birth rate down. This is probably one of the few isolated ex- amples where militaristic ideals work ed for the benefit of women.
