CALLS FOR BRAKE.
MiddIe-Aged Man Would Slow Up
Wheels of Time.
Is Living In Hope That Some Man
Will Devise a Workable Scheme
for Renewing Ones Lease Of
Life, and Do Ii Quickly.

"What we really need" said the
middle-aged man, 'is some way OF
slowing up the wheels of time.
GAS every man who has begun to
get on in life knows, the older we
grow the faster time seems to fly. In
our youth even single days seem to
be endless; but when we get to be
about so old the years go so fast that
they seem to spin around like pin
wheels.
"There was once an advertiser with
q patent medicine to sell who started
off his advertisement by describing
himself as a retired physician whose
sands of life had nearly run out. a
well-meaning. friend in the far West
wrote to him saying that If he would
mix little molasses with the sands
they wouldn't run out so fast.
"Of course there was an idea In
that; but the minute you come to think
1t over seriously you see that there Is
really nothing to it. To make the
wheels of time turn slower you'd have
to have something more than molasses.
have thought that perhaps we might
invent some sort of brake, very pow
erful brake, for this purpose, but
guess there's really nothing In this
idea, either. e. .~s-.s ...... .s.
Lacking the means Of making the
wheels of time turn slower, so that
we would seem to have more time, i
have thought that perhaps somebody
may yet devise way of renewing our
lease of life. If we could get an In
| definite renewal of our life lease we
| wouldn't care how fast the wheels
turned, because we'd have endless
years for them to turn in.
'aThe man who could devise work
able plan of this sort would get rich
beyond any sort Of dreams whatever;
that is, If he could prolong his own
life as well as sell life-renewal leases
to others; for fancy that, hard as
this world may be In some respects,
the great majority Of us would like to
continue living in 1t a long, long time.
and would give all we had for that
privilege.
"For myself, can say that I like
the world very well and I would like
to stay on it interminably. If there
is anybody now working on this life
lease-renewal device hope he will gel
it running before the sands of my old
fashioned life shall have run out com
pletely; and If when he opens up fol
business he will let me know where
to find him shall 60 to him; and, Il
have the price, take out as frs
extension a renewal for about a cen
tury."

Cherries From Russia.

That the cherry world has its boil
sheviki is explained by Frank A.
Waugh In the Country Gentleman.
Speaking Of the supremacy Of GER
tain American varieties, particularly
the MorelIo, Montmorency and Early
Richmond, he writes:
"Their supremacy has been often
challenged. Other varieties have been
offered by dozens and almost by hum
dreds.
"The greatest competition arose
through the introduction Of the so
called Russian cherries. These came
along with the other Russian fruits,
mainly in the importations of 1870 and
1883, and were exploited mainly I'm the
Northwest states.
'sProf. j. L. Budd propagated sew
eral Of these sorts and recommended
them highly. In this company were
included Vladimir, Lutovka, Skaanka,
Ostheim, George Glass. Double Matte,
Lithauer, Brusseler, Braune, Bessa-
rabian, Bunte Amerelle and Spaete
Amarelle. There were some others
also, bearing the samA flavor OF north

Germany's Labor Army.

sour growing labor army" is the de-
scription applied by the Huns to their
prisoners of war. According to a COM
munique in the latest Berlin papers,
Germany and her vassals between

the first time the German military au-
thorities lay stress on the supreme
value of their prisoners as man power

.puck Boards" to Beat the Mud.

sDuCk 6Odr0S 10 oSdG IOS VnOOs
When the allied forces In Flanders
are not battling with the Germans they
are trying to outwit nature. This is
the substance of report brought back
from the firing line by Maj. Gen.
Charles Clement, q. s. A.
Mud was source of considerable
annoyance to the soldiers. So the en-
cheering force Of Australia devised
what has become commonly known as
the "duck board" but which the Cana
dams have named the "bath mat" both
being terms of derisiOn.
i The board is made of a number OF
small strips Of wood, II to Is inches
In length, which are nailed to string
ers placed in front Of one another and
extending for miles. A step off the
"duck board" means plunge into q
sea of mud at least three feet In
depth.
The Board was devised to enable
the Australians to attack the Germans
more successfully, and 1t served to pro
vide q path to victory.-Popular Sci

Little Baby Phenomenon.

A two-year-old baby girl holds the
worlds record in mental development.
The infant prodigy is Martha
Springer, twenty-six months old,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. John E.

The child can read like an eight
year-old. The father says the child
has normal mind which simply has
been developed by persistent training
At recent meeting of college pro-
fessors and experts in pedagogy and
psychology the child for forty minutes
read, counted and told the time by
the clock and talked with the men who
were observing her. Her baby brain
did not sag and she appeared to enjoy
the long interview.
The child reads and speaks with a.
vocabulary of about two thousand
words. She is large for her age and

for an explanation.

man replied. "Some years ago l
bought a watch on the 1nstallment

thought the idea was pretty good
one. I figured to myself that some

thought it wouldn't be bad idea to
