Safety Not Happiness.

But happiness is also mental. When

Something to Worry About.

As II we haven't already enough to
keep our minds busy, with war and the
high cost of living! And our friends,
the learned astronomers, who study
the heavens just as carefully as the
average fellow does the innermost re-
cesses Of his pocketboOk day before
pay, are intent upon adding to our load
of worry burdens. They-some of
them-believe the sun is going to ex-
plOde. One of them, writing in Pop
ular Astronomy, points to the TACT that
our sun is of advanced age, and pre-
diets Its dlSish as the leading figure
in our solar system. He finds that our
sun has contracted 93,0OOOO0 miles
from each side, thus giving its hot
center $4,000 900 miles less of room.
So you see the suns center is rather
crowded for space. Something like the

also to give our boys and girls train

teaches obedience, a quality that our

The first school Of veterinary medi-

that profession after having gained IN
unjust suit for a client, and devoted
himself to the study Of the disease Of
animals. The school he established
soon received the title Of the "royal
school" and became famous through
out Europe. As youth Berglat had
served in cavalry regiment and this

Cement From Sugar. Beet Waste.

A result Of experiments in French
factories is the production of an ex-
cellent cement as by-product Of beet
sugar refining. The first step in the
production Of sugar from beets is boil
ing them. 1t has heretofore been GUS
tOmary to throw away as valueless the
scum formed on the caldrons. But it
has now been discovered that this
scum contains large quantities of car
Donate Of lime. 1t is estimated that
1000 tons of the carbonates can be
recovered from 10000 tons Of beets.
To this quantity Of the carbonate 1,1OO
tons Of clay is added, the resultant
product being a good cement. The
beet scum, is pumped into large reser-
voirs and allowed to evaporate for a
certain length of time before being
mixed with the clay. 1t is then stirred
or beaten for an hour before being fed
Into rotary ovens such as is used in
making Portland cement.

HAVE COMFORT IN THEATEE
Chinese Enjoy Repast While They Arc

We ascend by way of narrow, rick
ETY. stairs and find ourselves in three
sided balcony with boxes in tiers. The
space near the wall is left for a pas
sage way. Our box will seat about
1S persons, and contains very comfor-

are no sooner seated than the ticket
man approaches. After a polite In
quiry as to the state of our health and
hoping we shall enjoy the performance
and assuring us Of the honor We nre
bestowing upon the theater by being
present, he would appreciate very
much our handing over the required
amount for the tickets. We ask him
the sum total Of this important trans
action, and he replies, "Six dimes for
the ticket and six cents for the ushers
and coolies, for each person. Ushers
and coolies are allowed one cent for
every ten cents paid" After his gen.
erous thanks and Begging your par
don for disturbing you," he takes his
departure. but is quickly followed by
a coolie bringing teapots and cups. He
places these on the little shelf and
leaves without word. AS soon as he
has disappeared another coolie arrives,
bringing a number of small. dishes,
each filled with the delicacies Of the
season, but always including the wa

HAVE MANY QUAINT BELIEFS
Alaskan Natives ,Probably as superstl-
tious a. Any Race on the
Face Of the Earth.

In Alaska the natives have all kinds
Of superstitious beliefs. They believe
that everything has a spirit, and that
these spirits must be respected or else
bad luck will come to them. For in
stance, they must not throw away any
old clothing, nor burn 1t, for that would
be the same as destroying a part Of
themselves. They must make bundle
Of the old clothes and put 1t on the
branches Of large spruce tree out
side the village. All fish bones are
carefully put away in basket to be
taken out to the middle of a river,
stream or lake and there thrown over
board. This Is done so that every.
single bone, after 1t is put back into
the water. will turn into a fish, and
this is sure to keep up the supply.
When a child is born the father
has to put away all tools that are
made of iron or steel and is not al
lowed to use them for 20 days. Dur
ing that time he is not allowed to go
outside to do any work or any hunt
ing. Should he do any of these things
1t would surely cause the death of the
baby. When a child dies 1t is not
buried, but is wrapped in bundle and
placed at the foot of a spruce sapling.
If the tree dies within year the
spirit Of the child dies also.
When grown person dies the body
is kept at least three days in the room
in which 1t has died. When the time
for burial comes the body is buried on
hillside or high bank facing the
river. There is the village of departed
spirits on the side facing the river and
on the other side the spirits of the
dogs who have died and who belong to
the people whose spirits are there.
