OF the most widely-known women in
the North.
In Philadelphia she has taken the

Injuries can be purchased, but the

hard to find q real book store, where
the attendants know their authors and
can help one select the books that one
needs on any subject. There are
some, but none too many. They can
be counted on the fingers of ones
hands.
In smaller cities the task of finding
books is hopeless one. There are a
few stores where books are sold; but
what books? Novels mostly, the aver

with too many ifconeeived articles

JOINED RANKS OF PRoFITEERs
Indian Had the stereotyped Reason for
Increasing His Price for Basket
Of Berries.

An Indian In one of the western res.
ervations was in the habit of bringing
TO Mrs. Gray each spring several bas-
kets of wild berries for which, from
time immemorial, he had always
charged so cents basket. A few days
ago he paid his annual visit to Mrs.
Gray's back door. The maid took the
berries and rendered the usual pay
ment. The Indian shook his head.
Zone dollar 4 Basket now" he said.
The maid called her mistress and ex-
planned the difficulty. Much surprised,
Mrs. Gray again offered the rooney to
the Indian, who once more refused to
accept it. "Why is this?" asked Mrs.
Gray. "The baskets are the same size
as usual are they not?'
ayes"
And the berries are not scarce this
year, l know. because have seen

pnnkets for the covernment.

The movement of the government
toward conservation Of wool through
the curtailment Of masculine pockets
should not be greatly disturbing.
Economy and the trend Of times now
make many pockets rs useless as the
vermlform appendix.
Why should man have five pockets
in his trousers, six in his vest, and the
same number in his coat? Legislation
has put the pistol pocket out Of bust
ness, aud from southern states the
flask has vanished.
Except for decorative purposes wom-
an rarely has more than one pocket in
her gown, and in most cases none.
There are religious sects which abhor
pockets and even buttons, yet they
seem to prosper.
Three outside coat pockets is the
number set forth in the new request

FIRST AERIAL MAIL IN 1903
To President Jefferson Really Belongs
the Honor of lnstituting Some-
thing New in Message Line.

While all unite in praise OF Post
master General Burleson in inaugu-
rating an aerial mail service between
New York and Washington, Americans
should not make the mistake Of cred
iting the present administration with
the first aerial mail service between
the two cities.
AS a matter of fact that honor falls
to the administration of Thomas JEFF
ferson more than a hundred years ago.
It all attended the transmission of the
deeds Of the Louisiana purchase TO
France.
Mr.. Jefferson, of course, was very
anxious about the matter. and after
the deeds had been sent from Wash
ington to Paris, and the time had come
when the vessel bearing the signed
deeds back to this country was due,
Mr.. Jefferson, unable to withhold I'M
patience, sent some carrier pigeons to
New York to be held until the vessel
arrived and then released, bearing
word of the fact of their arrival. This
was done, and accordingly the fi-st
aerial mail service dates back not &c
this spring but to the year 1903.

and told him that he had put cent in

ECONOMY WITH GAS STOVE
Woman Tells How She Saved Money
by Making Plans Ahead for Her
Baking Day.

A woman has written in to the W0m-
nn's Home Companion about her gas
stove and she says: .FssES
"The idea OF telling other women
how TO economic time and money in
the use of my gas stove came to me
on hearing a,,goung housekeeper tell
about baki1Ea pudding, or just one
thing, in a@gas oven as large as my
own, which struck me as amazingly ex.
travagant," writes a woman in tht
Woman's Home Companion.
"When planning TO have a baking
day with the oven, ! sit down the DAY
before and think ont just what is need
ed for several meals ahead which must
be cooked. For instance, / place a
roast in a pan inst barely large
enough to hold it, thus economIzing OIL
space as well. Then, II possible, I
cover the roast with pan which can
be made to sit quite level, into which
l put several potatoes; or, If this ar
rangement isn't practicable, l put the
potatoes on the crate. Beside the
roast place a small pudding dish con
tanning a bread pudding, on smnll
asbestos mat beside the pudding dish
small pan of biscuits. A vegetable
may sometimes be baked In maple

"The following, all Of which I have
sested, win Be found good combinations

Met Sir Walter Scott.

The Rev. John Douglas, said TO have
been the only living person IN Amer
lea who had seen Sir Walter Scott
alive, died recently. He was ninety
four years old and had been a resident
Of Minnesota for 80 years, says Min
neapolis Tribune.
On his ninety-thlrd birthday, Sept, II,
1916, Mr. Douglas described IN detail
his seeing the author Of the Wayerly
novels in 1891. With his father, the
Minneapolis man was driving in an
old-fashloned, high-seated rickety gig
along road near Abbotsford, Scot
land when "a funny-loolSing little man
with queer Scotch bonnet on his head
and gnarled stick In his hand" hailed
them.
Mr.. Douglas father checked his
horse and chatted with the man for
IS minutes. Afterward the youngster
was told that the little man was mono
other than the noted author. During
the last 20 years persons who could
boast Of having seen Scott alive have
become fewer. Two years ago it was
practically conceded that Mr. Douglas
had sole claim to the distinction.

RAPID STRIDES IN SURGERY
War Has Brought Discoveries That
Alleviate Pain and Heal the Most
Dangerous Wounds.

"Blpp" is one of the new words that
Will be added to the dictionary as the
direct outcome of the war; "Bipp" Is
n combination of bismuth, iodoform
and parafiin paste, and is the name
given to one of the most important
surgical discoveries of DR.. Rutherford
Morrison, famous operative surgeon
Of London. 1t exercises a strange
charm upon the treatment lof danger
Gus wounds.
In the early days Of the wnr doctors
employed the older forms pf curative
surgery, which entailed longsperiods of
suffering to the wounded soldier. By
the new process the destroyed tissues
and infected areas are ekcised, the
parts thoroughly drencheds with pure
spirit. and after the application Of a
thin layer of "bipp" the wound can in
many cases be sewn up Immediately
with every prospect Of primary union
and no further distress to the patient.
Even wounds associated with bone in
juries or damaged joints, have been
successfully treated by this method,
and compound fractures have lost
much Of their seriousness. "a
One Of the most marvellous cases is
recorded at London military hospital.
A piece of shell penetrated assoldier's
chest and diaphragm, passing into the
abdominal cavity. These terrible in
jurles healed without subsequent III
consequences, the track of the missile
being excised and the wound sutured
after-a thorough application of "blpp."
Similar success has been attained In
cases of gas gangrene, which is de-
priyed of its chief terror since the
germs Of this infection can no longer
thrive.

How Language Grows.

"Cad" and "fad" were at first only
localisms, struggltHs for existence and

England, until at last they achieved a
peaceful penetration into the United

Criticisms; they won recognition into
standard English. A like fate has be-
