How to Read.

At best the printed words Of an au-
thor represent but a poor fraction Of
what is in his thought and feeling, Of
what he would express If he could.
Therefore. 1t is well to follow Ruskin's
advice on reading for the thought"
and 'get into the habit of looking in
tensely at words and assure yourself
OF. their meaning syllable by syllable
nay, letter by letter." Not only does
this help you to understand the au-
thor's meaning by comprehending his
words. but the act Of concentration
fertilizes and awakens your own mind
and tends to bring you into such SYM
patty with the idea expressed, and
with the author. that you are illumined
by far more of the subject than the
printed words alone contain.-William
q. Towne In Nautilus.

Things That Have Passed.

Here are some things not of the
present generation, yet within the
memory of the oldest inhabitant. They
are enumerated by George Constant
in the Louisville COurier-Journal.
Little girls and boys who could cor
rectly name in sequence the books of
the Bible, recite the beatitudes and
give the personnel of the twelve dis
ciples, and to whom the names and
antecedents Of movie stars were as
yelled mysteries.
Mothers whose delight was to set
a sustaining table of good food to
their growing children, ut which we'll
cooked steak and brown gravy, big fat
biscuits and fresh milk in unlimited
measure predominated, the whole
thanked by homemade preserves and
jellies, and whose pet abominatlon was
food eaten from paper bag.
Memory cards, affected by loving
couples in their middle teens, sent
through the mails and conveying
ardent sentiments of personal regard
In rustic gothic type, and emblazoned
with cooling doves, hearts pierced with
arrows and wreaths of forget-me-nots.

"Redhead" Is Farmers Friend.

"Redhcad" Is a regular doctor of the
fruit orchard, Systematically search
ing every crack and crevice in the
bark, and testing with his sharp little
augur every spot which looks as
though it might conceal beneath the
bark tree-bOrer. The hundreds of
little holes drilled in the bark do not
hurt the apple trees, hut they mean
that many an apple-borer has been
discovered and transfXed on red

lowed a second later with keen rel
iSh, or taken away TO n gaping fledg-

The red-headea woOdpecker usually
selects n partly decayed tree in which

father and mother bird take turns in
the excavatlng. The one that is off

beetles, little corn, and preferably
beech nuts. At n loving call from its

First Irish Coaching Company.

In 1915, an Italian, named Bianconi,
started the first coaching company in
Ireland, running long cars over vari-
Gus regular routes. Long cars soon
became the safest and most reliable
means of travelling over Ireland, and
BiancOni turned rich and prosperous.
Writing in or about 1912, Mr.. and Mrs.
Hall, who have written much of Ire
land, tell us that persons of the high
est responsibility" used the long cars
for travelling. At this time although
these cars passed through 12S towns,
they had not made their way into the
north of Ireland. The cars varied con-
siderably in size, requiring from one to
four horses. The fare, even over the
rockiest roads in the West, was two
pence farthing mile. The Halls care
fully explain that passengers were pro
vided with "dry and comfortable horse
hair cushions and aprons" and that, In
wet weather, the long cars never jour-
neyed more than two stages without
changing the cushions.

EXPLAINS POISONING BY FOOD
Held, That Ptomaines Are the
Cause Of infection.

Poisoning by food is no longer ex-
planned as "ptOmaine poisoning" but
in an address to the American Assoc
citation for the Advancement of Science,
DIR. T.. O. Jordan showed that IL is due
either to true bacterial toxins compare
Bile to those of diphtheria and tetanus
bacilli or to infection with specific in
lection carried by the food article. The
best known example of the toxin-form-
Ing microbes is the bacillus botulinus,
which has produced in the United
States 30 recorded cases of poisoning,
of which II were in California, while
Great Britain has reported no case.
This type of poisoning is rare, but in
lection with food-bOrne disease bac-
terra seems to occur in IA great number
of cases. The bacteria are either pres
ent in the food itself, or the food is
contaminated from human sources.
The chief food-borne infections hith-
erto traced to human contamination
are typhoid fever and the various
paratyphOid infections; but to these
must be added certain infections rare
ly transmitted by any food except
milk, such as diphtheria, scarlet fever,
and streptococcus sore throat. The
type of infection from food contain
mated ut its source is exemplified in
the diseases of certain food animals.
The chief infections known to be due
to food infected at its source are those
mainly meat-bOrne-caused by the
group of paratyphoid enteritidis bac-
terra. and those resulting from the use
of infected milk. The bacterial dis
eases of plants do not infect man.

SUCH A SMART BROTHER

Not Appreciate His Peculiar
Form of Wit.

A young lady in Lakewood is of the
opinion that she Is grown up-in which
opinion she is not encouraged either by
her parents or her older brother. She
Is fifteen, brother is sixteen. She thinks
that young men should be allowed to
call On her in the evening; brother
jeers, parents shake their heads.
Finally the girls mother consented
TO her having certain approved boy
call, provided he came on Friday eve
ming. And the excited damsel called
the favored youth up on the phon. and
impaired the glad news. 1t is pre-
sumed that the young man Che was all

deal of time at his toilet that evening

Whist.

J. The number of all possible dlstribu-
lions of a pack of cards in the game
of whist. is 53,6i4 quadrllllons and
1877, 765 trillions and 477,792 billions
and $50, 237 millions and 100000. The
following illustration may give an idea
of the immensely of this number: II
on the entire surface Of our globe,
inclusive of all mountains and oceans.
whist tables could be so placed that
each table together with the four play
ers should occupy no more space than
one square meter (39.37 square
inches), and If they should play whist
necessarily, each game consuming only
five minutes, it would require more
than a thousand million years before
every possible distribution Of the 52
cards could be realized.

MEAN 70 STAMP OUT oBeAH
Authorities VIII Put Stop to Practice
Too Long Prevalent In the
Virgin Islands.

The American officials of the Virgin
islands have taken steps to deal with
the novel but serious crime Of obeah,
which has long been practiced in the
islands. Matilda Francois has been
arrested and incarcerated as an obeah
woman, and announcement has been
made that prompt action will be taken
by the Americans to show that this
wicked and shameful practice must
cease.
The obeah Is sort of first cousin
Of the voodoo of darkest Africa, which
Is said to be still practiced In the in
terror Of Hayti, and which has not
been entirely stamped out in other
islands Of the West Indies group. The
obeah man or woman sets up as sort
of witch doctor processing to cure all
Ills by use Of charms, to be skilled I'm
the preparation of love philters, and
Of connections that are believed to be
certain to bring harm to the enemy of
the victim who pays.
Superstition still has such strong
hold on the minds of those who be-
lieve In obeah that they pay their good
money and protect them in court until
obeah cases at times have become the
bane of officials. Often convictions
are only brought about through deep
laid plots and skillful work on the
part of the police.

GREAT BIRDS OF OTHER DAYS
eoneS Discovered Prove That In the
MIoeene Period They Were Truly
Of Enormous Size.

In so far as birds are concerned,
some of the oldest fossils, in the mat
ter of time (Miocene), which have
fallen into the hands of science, are
those representing the great, flight
less, fossil avian giants of Patagonia in
South America. They belong to the
phororhacidae, II. w. Shufeldt writes
in the Scientific American.
Judging from such parts Of their fos-
sill bones as have been found, they
were evidently great terrestrial birds
of prey. Some of the species were
small, but this Is made up for by the
others; and in the case of one of them
(brontornis) 1t had thigh bone con-
siderably larger and longer than that
Of an OK.
OF all the remarkable flightless birds
Of this group, however, was the giant
phororhacos. 1t must have been over
eight feet in height, with a skull big
ger than that of a full grown horse,
and much deeper from above down.
ward. We know little or nothing of
these birds or what led to their ex-
tinction. With its great hooked beak
and powerful claws of great size,
phororhacos must have been q terror
to the animals upon which 1t preyed.
Skulls and some other bones of this
bird have been discovered.

Eucalyptus Valuable Tree.

Eucalyptus will grow under many
adverse conditions, so long as they are
protected from frost. The young trees
cannot stand frost, and this fact has
restricted the growth of the species
to certain favorable sections of Cali
fOrnia and the Southwest. On the
other hand. the trees will thrive on
very poor soil and they do not require
very much attention. Some of the
largest commercial plantations, main
tanned by railroad companies for tie
making purposes, are located along the
shores of the Pacific ocean near San
Diego, where their principal moisture
comes from the heavy fogs that roll in
from the sea, and which are absorbed
by the leaves.

CHANGED TO HEAD OF LIST
Old Negro Had Particular Reason for
Refusing Henceforth to BE
Known as Zeno.

A story Is told of an old negro who
had accumulated his savings in u bank
in one of the Southern towns, says the
Columbus Dispatch. One day the bank
failed.
Zeno was the name of the old man,
and when told the bank had failed he
spent hours around the door, as IL he
hoped in that way to get his money.
One day the receiver said to him !:
"DOn't you know that the bank has to
be examined before any depositors can
get their money? This is not the first
bank that has failed"
ashore, All knows dat" Zeno an
swered. "Ah's heered tell of banks bus
tin before dis, but dis heah am de fust
time dat bank evan busted right
squah in nah face"
At last the examinations were over
and the receiver announced that the
depOsitors would be paid in alphabet
ical order. Some mistake had been
made in figuring, and when they got
down to Ws the money gave out and
Zeno lost his savings.
But he didn't lose all his courage. He
saved for a few months and had lit
tie to put in another bank. He went
to the cashier who said:
'All right, Zeno, we will be glad to
open an account for you"
"Zeno nuthin'," he said. "Mah
