A young lady in Lakewood Is Of the

opinion she is not encouraged either by

that young men should be allowed to
call on her In the evening; brother

Finally the girls mother consented
to her having certain approved boy

MEAN TO STAMP OUT 0BEAH
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 a 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 a sort
Of witch doctor processing 10 cure all
Ills by use of charms, to be skilled In
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.

JOKE ON SCHOOL VISITOR
Fortunately Hamilton Mabie Was Well
Able to Appreciate Unconscious
Humor of the Children.

The late Hamilton w. Mabie, the
well-known American essayist, was
one Of those genial men who enjoyed
a joke on themselves. Illustrating this
phase of Mr.. Mabie's character, 1t is
told that when he was a student Mr..
Mabie made an address in which he
told this story:
He had visited a school in Philadel-
phia in which there was a daily fire.
drill. The teacher regularly asked the
students, children, what would you
do IL fire were to break out in this
buildingT The children all repeated
in chorus, "We would rise in our
places, step into the aisle, and march
quietly out of the building" On the
morning when Mr.. Mabie visited the
school, while he was sitting quietly on
the platform, the teacher stepped be-
fore the pupils and said, Children,
what would you say If / were to tell
you that Mr.. Mabie is to speak to you
this morning?" The children prompt
ly replied in chorus, 1--WE would rise
in our places step into the aisle, and
march quietly out of the building"

"soME" AS AN ADJECTIVE
Popular American Slang Has Attached
O Wealth Of Meaning to
the Word.

The American habit Of coming new
meanings for words already known Is
closely allied to that Of coining words,
writes G. Jefferson Weber In the North
American Review. Take, for example,
the current slang use of that much
used word "some." What wealth of
meaning and insinuation the Ameri-
can has invented for the word
"Some" as an adyerb may be heard
In many places. For instance, In the
Teign valley district of Devon, the ma
tives may say, ut did rain yum yes
terday." But the American would use
the word as an adjective and say,
''That was some rain yesterday" This
use is hard to define. In the middle
of the last century "some," meaning
considerable, or notable, was called "a
modern slang word" Today "some"
is almost limitless in its capacity for
application. II implies approval, en-
thusiasm, sarcasm, wonder, admira-
ton, disgust---or amusement.
The seeds may have been sown in
Cornwall, In Devon or in Lancashire,
but seriously doubt If native of any
Of these counties would ever say en-
Enthusiastically, eve had some fun last
night" or sarcastically. "Thls is some
book" Another word to which Ameri-
cans have given new meaning is the
verb "raise." In England, men raise
crops; In America, they also raise chill
dren.

Interesting Life Statistics.

On the authority of experts repre-
senting forty-three leading life insur-
ance companies in the United States,
it appears that spinster lives longer
than q married woman. Business wom-
en- live longer than business men. A
woman who takes an endowment pol
Icy lives longer than a woman who
takes an ordinary life policy. 1t Is not
easy TO explain why an unmarried
woman survives a matron, nor why a
business woman survives a bust
ness man, but the longevity of the
endowment woman is believed to be
due to the determination to live until
the policy natures. VIII power Is
hardly less important in many. cases
than physique, and must always be
reckoned with. Even in disease man

often are attributed to medicine are

The Substance Is smeared on a Roller. and

Material Ia
stance is; so TO find out the power
OF different oils to hold dust, and the
binding coat, the adhesive machine
was constructed.
The little invention consists Of an
inner and outer cylinder, the latter
hundredth of an inch larger than the
former. The material TO be tested is
placed between these two cylinders
and the whole combination is mount
ed horizontally. A rope and a weight
are attached to the outer cylinder;
a water-cooling Jacket keeps the tenn
perature uniform, with a tall Their
mometer on the device keeping the
record, and the test starts. The time
required for the weights to turn the
outer cylinder three times is the fig
ure which decides the test. A mini
mum time OF 800 seconds has been es-
tablished as a requirement for all
oils. The balsam preparation used
for sticky fly paper has an adhesive
test figure of about ESQ seconds.-n-
