LITTLE SOUNDS THAT DISTURB
Strange How Ordinary Noises Of tial.
Night Affect One Who Is Alone
in the House.

When you are alone at home and the
night comes on, and the noises begin
say, it is lonesome feeling, isn't It?
Uncanny like; ghostly; uncomfortable.
3 You had not thought much about the
family, one way or another, when the
family was present. Accepted the fam.
lily as matter of course, and went
about your way. Sat down after the
evening meal and read the newspaper;
paid no attention to the swishing Of a
curtain, nor to the whispering of the
wind, nor to the creaking that forever
takes place about a house. Nothing
disturbed you, when the family was at
home, but now, with the family away,
everything disturbs you-and startles
you.
( There Is nothing to fear, of course.
You are not afraid it is not that. But
as you sit there alone, reading, and a
shutter rattles little, how 1t startles
you, says a writer In. the Columbus
Dispatch. The furnace clicks, as fur
naces will, and you wonder what it is
in the basement. A vine scrapes the
lattice at the back door, and 1t sounds
for all the world like burglar trying
to unlock the door. You know 1t is
not burglar; you are not afraid. un-
derStand. But, some way, every little
noise about the house. startles and
astounds you.e
And then you get up to go to bed.
You had never before noticed that it
made any sound whatever as you
walked across the floor when the fam
ily was at home; but now, it's differ
ent, to say the least, when the family
is away.

WANTED HIS MoNEYs WORTH
NobIeman Evidently Had Some Idea
That Great Musician Was Giving
Him the Worst Of Il.

Wieniawski had his humorous expert.
ences, this even after hesWas quite
widely known, writes Alexander Bloch
in the New York Times. On one occa-
sion he was asked by a wealthy Brit
fish nobleman to state his terms for
playing half an hour at his home.
They came to an agreement, and on
the evening of the musicale Wieniaw-
ski opened the program with Beethov-
ems "Romanze in f."
He was playing his best and deeply
engrossed in the music when he sud-
denly noticed out of the corner Of his
eye the host nervously looking at HIS
watch. This happened several times
before the Romance was finished.
At its close, as he was bowling his ac-
knowledgments to rapturous applause.
the British peer caught him by the
sleeve and whispered in his ear:
"For heavens sake, man, how much
do you expect to get through in half
an hour at this rate? Why do you
play such slow piecesT

crasshoppers Fly to Sea.

The grasshopper would seem to have
nothing in common with the seagull,
yet grasshoppers have been picked up
In swarms at sea, 1900 miles from the
nearest land. The African grasshop-
per has been known to cross the Red
and Mediterranean seas in destructive
numbers, and even to fly to the Canary
Islands. For the most part these
grasshoppers are of migratory spe-
'cies (Schistocera tartarica) noted for
Its great flights. The bodies are about
four inches long and are equipped
with large air sacks in addition to the
usual breathing tubes. These sacks
buoy up the insect so that it is able
TO stay in the air. for days at time,
exerting practically no effort at all.
During flight fits speed varies from
three to twenty miles an hour. When
It is tired 1t rests on the water and Is
borne along on the waves.-Popular

HEART OF BRITISH EMPIRE
Good Reasons Why Trafalgar Square,
In London, Has Been Given
That AppelIation.


! Trafalgar square has been called the
heart of the British empire, the most
truly English spot in London. 1t is
not of Leicester square or of Picca-
dilly that London Tommy dreams, but
of. Trafalgar square, with the statue
of Nelson in the center. The statue
on the slender column is England's
best-loved hero. The figure of Nelson,
three times the natural size. is reared
145. feet in the air, with Landseer's
four lions of bronze at the base.
Many of the most important build
ihgs of the city are grouped around
the square. The National gallery, with
its art collection, faces the Nelson col
umn. The collection was begun in
1924 and is one Of the finest in the
world. In the upper part of the square
IS the church of st. Martins-in-the-
Field, where. Nell Gwyn lies buried.
This last bit of information is apt to
interest the visitor more than the fact
that Bacon was christened at the
church's altar.
The column stands at the crossing of
some of the most famous streets in
London. Charles the First walked
down Whitehall to his execution. The
Strand, branching from the square, is
the main artery of the city as well as
the favorite meeting place of the peo-
pie. Bustling, noisy, crowded, fond
ly believed by Londoners to be broad,
it is the busiest street in the empire.
The principal shops and many of the
hotels are on this street.

a Raise in WAGES.

Everybody likes to have his wages
raised, and everybody feels little
thrill of pride when he is told he is
going to be paid more for his work.
Did you ever figure it out that you
were being paid wages when you go
to school, and can. have them raised
every month if you want TO? Sure.
You study, and that's work, You get
paid for your work in knowledge. Sup
poseythis month you bring home re-
port card which shows you have been
only fair in arithmetic. That's not
bad. But you want your wages raised.
So. you work a little harder and next
month the report is good instead OF
fair. You've had salary increase.
That's the only way to look at it,
From the American Boy.

How Einns Keen Warm.

(. In many ways the Firms are a very
queer people, as is illustrated by the
Christian Herald. :,
1t is during the terribly cold months
that the Firms reveL in the mighty
ovens that fill one corner Of every
kitchen and often 4eom UP large and
vastly impressive in the other rooms
Of a Finn home as well. The tops of
these monster stoves are perfectly fiat,
and steps lead up on one side.
When the weather becomes bitterly
cold and bleak, the entire family will
take quilts and pillows and, mounting
to the top of the big heater, spread
down their bedding and sleep very
Scomfortably and contentedly on the
hard. hot bricks until morning.

The Garden Of Eden.

The question of the site Of Eden
has greatly agitated theologians; some
placed it near Damascus, others in Ar
menia, some in the Caucasus, others
at Hollah, near Babylon; others in
Arabia, and some in Abyssinia. The
Hindus refer it to Ceylon, one writer
locates it at the North Pole, and a
learned Swede asserts that 1t was In
Sudermania. Several authorities con-
cur in placing it in peninsula formed
by the main river of Eden, on the east
side of it, below the confluence Of the
lesser rivers which emptied themselves
into it, at about 81 degrees north lati-
tude, now swallowed up by the Per-
sian gulf, an event which may have
Happened at the universal deluge, 1884
B. C. Many, however, think that the
whole story of Eden is a legend and
that, accordingly, the man who tries
to find its site is like the blind man
who looks in dark room for his black
hat that is not there.

LEON HAD MUCH MEsCAL
ConfiscatiOn Caused Spread of
"JOy Juice" on the Other
Side of the Line.

When RoSen0o Leon, alias ''El
Pasano," was arrested Thurs
day morning by the authorities
in Nogales, Sonora, it was found
that his baggage contained just
120 bottles of that peculiarly eX-
hilarating decoction dear to Mex
ican hearts under the name OF
mescal.
The police decided that CT
Pasano's" cargo would have to
be destroyed. But Leon, think
ing of the waste of all that hap
piness, persuaded the officials
that the intentions of Decree
No. 1" would be fully met if a
part, at least, Of his stock was
not destroyed in the usual man.
ner by the breaking of the bot
ties.
So, it is said, he carefully ab-
stracted twenty bottles from the
number, and passed them about
among the police officials and
their official friends as "souve-
Mrs" of the occasion; after
which the other 100 bottles were
luthlessly broken and their pre-
.ious contents allowed to s
into the thirsty Sonora soil.

MT. HERMoN HOLY GROUND
Many Nations Have Built Their Tern,
pies on the Elevation Of Which
David Sang.

Mount Hermon, sacred mountain Of
Syria, rises, silent sentinel, above
the fruitful fields and vineyards of
Lebanon and Damascus. Cut off from
its range of the Antilibanus by the
deep valley of Barada it has kept it's
lonely vigil through. the ages. The
Hebrews called it Hermit. According
to legend the wicked angels in the:--
fall from Paradise landed on Hermon
and gave it its name.
Like a gray-haired giaLt the old
mountain helds its white-crowned head
above the clouds. At sunset these
clouds turn to rose and gold, the noun
tain top flaming like a torch against
the sky. AS the sunlight fades the
evening mists wrap old Hermon's head
In walls of gray and white. ..'The
white-haired old man of the mountain
has donned his nightcap for the night"
the people of the surrounding plains
tell you.
The mountains foot is covered with
the green of oaks, poplars and dense
brush with an occasional luxuriant
vineyard. The wines Of Damascus are
famous throughout the Orient. The
mountain springs keep the valleys
well supplied with water. Higher ur
are the ruins Of former temples, built
centuries ago, their entrances facing
the rising sun. Ia the old days the
pious folks of the valley climbed the
mountain side to worship on their holy
ground. The temples are of various
nations, including Greek, Roman and
Hebrew.
David sang of Hermon and the
cooling breath of the winds blowing
from its icy SUBMITS. As the giver of
all good things, of wine and cool wa
ter, of timber and olives and breezes,
in summer days, Of tales of wonder
and angels for the winter nights, the
people of old looked to Hermon as a
storehouse of treasure set up by q
bene6cent Deity.

Sponge Ia a Germ Carrier.

Along with many other unsanitary
toilet articles, the sponge is going out
of fashion. But people may be still
found who consider it indispensable.
They have overlooked the fact that
the sponge is porous and that every
pore becomes hiding place for untold
colonies of germs. You cannot boil
a sponge for any length of time, there
fore you cannot insure Its absolute
hygienic cleanliness. As the germs
multiply, a peculiar musty odor be-
comes noticeable.
When one bathes, many particles Of
dead skin are thrown from the body.
If sponge is used quantities Of these
dead particles collect in the pores Of
the sponge and will remain there even
after considerable rinsing. If sponge
were examined under a microscope
one would be horrified at the picture
1t would present.-Marianna Wheeler
In the Peoples Home Journal.

/. Steel Is Easy to Cast.

The English have just invented a
high-speed steel which is so strong that
engines and guns and tools made Of 1t
can be worked more rapidly than those
made Of any of the other steels. The
Popular Science Monthly magazine
says that tools of this steel can be cast
into shape, and casting is the quickest
Known way of making any tool.
There are few steels, however,
which, by. casting them, do not be-
come brittle. "Cobaltcrom Steel" as
it is called, nevertheless can be made
N this manner instead of having to
.,e forged and rolled, two very much
lengthier and more expensive prccs
esses.

Snakes as Pest pestroyera.

Snakes are not our enemies, says
Gayne K. Norton in American Forest
ry. They never attack except in self
defense. OF our Ill species only II
are poisonous-two species Of Flaps,
coral snakes, and Is species Of cro-
taline snakes, the copperhead and moe
casin, the dwarf and typical rattle
snakes. On the other hand, the help
they render is valuable. The pests
destroyed each year, especially ro-
dents that injure crops and carry conn
municable diseases, roll up large bal
ance of good service in their favor. .
Rodents are destroyers of farm
products, cause loss by fire through
gnawing matches and insulation from
electric wires, and of human life
through germ-carrying, particularly the
bubonic plague.
