ODlUM ATTACHED TO CARD
Numerous Explanations as to Why the
Nine Of Diamonds Is Called the
Curse of Scotland.

While the nine spot Of spades is
looked upon as fatal and vindictive
card in the trying of fortunes, it is the
nine of diamonds that bears the odium
of being called the curse of Scotland.
All writer's agree on the card, but as
to the cause of the stigma attached
to 1t there is q diversity of opinion
and 1t is difficult to decide which of
the many theories is correct. One the
0ry Is that after the Culloden strug-
gle the duke of Cumberland picked
ND q nine of diamonds from the floor
of the insurgents. To clinch this ar
gument, it is declared that the identi-
cal card is preserved at Slams castle,
Aberdeenshire. Another explanation
was that q Scotch member of parlia-
ment, part of whose family arms was
the nine of diamonds, once voted for a
malt tax for his country. Still another
view is that diamonds represent roy
atty and every ninth king of Scotland
having been a tyrant and curse fur
uiSncS TIC hcy " thc hySlCiS' one
writer explains it by stating that the
last queen of Scotland taxed her sub
jects heavily to pay for nine jewels
for her own adOrnment. The "last
queen of Scotland" in her own right
was poor, pretty Marie Stuart, against
whose memory has been tossed the
mud of countless accusations by her
bitter critics, and she might as well
bear the nine O. diamonds SANDER

HARD TO CHEAT FATHER TIME
Wise Is the Man Who Appreciates
Value of Punctuality, and Great
Is His Reward.

A young Kentuckian has lost big
fortune by being 20 minutes late in
keeping business engagement.
The cheerlesS old fellow with the
scythe always gets all that is coming
to him. And there is many bad scar
on our fortunes where he has had to
prod us up to the mark.
Time is cheap, and we are apt to
think we can filch it as we will. But
it is always ourselves we rob, not time.
Maybe you can waste your own time
by being late in keeping engagements
and feel that the loss, if any, is your
own affair. But 1t is also the affair of
the man you keep waiting. You waste
his time, too. If your time is worth
less, maybe his is not. He may con-
clude that his time Is worth more to
him than you are.
In many cases it may not matter
much. But one never knows until af-
terward whether it matters or not.
And through false politeness we are
usually assured that it does not matter
even when it does.
Only the idle and careless, whose
time is of least value, can afford to
waste it by looseness in keeping en-
gagements.
1t may be hard to acquire the fixed
habit of always being on time, but it
can be done, and it is worth while to
do it.
Great business men have this habit.
Ien of great affairs, whose time is
most completely taken up. are usually
on time. 1t is they who know best the
value of time and the Importance of
saving it by being Christian
Herald.

FILM SPREAD OVER WATER
Thin Sheet on Surface Has Properties
That Are Very Like Those of
India Rubber.

It seems not to be generally under
stood that the surface of all water is
covered by a finn of the water itself,
which in its action is not unlike that
Of thin sheet of india rubber, says
Edward Bigelow, the scout naturalist,
In Boys Life. To comprehend this
one must imagine the rubber to be so
thin as to be transparent. The surface
Of the water itself is elastic and under
tension, so that a needle, though heav-
Ter than the water, may be floated en-
the surface.
Several interesting experiments may
be made with the elasticity of this
film. One of the best is to place two
slender splinters of wood side by side
on the water. Now drop little alco-
hol between the splinters. This alco-
hOl will Immediately break the surf
ace film between the splinters, and
the pulling force of the remaining film,
since there is nothing between them
to hold them, will cause the Splinters
instantly to fly apart.
Another Interesting experiment is to
whittle thin, slender splinter, pointed
at one end somewhat like boat. Place
a tiny bit of gum camphor on the rear
of this splinter and the gum will de-
stroy the surface film so that there
will be no pull in the rear. As there
Is a pull in the front not balanced by
one in the rear, the tiny boat will run
forward as rapidly as the camphor
can dissolve the film in the rear.
Some interesting little magic"
tricks might be developed from these
experiments which would surprise
and instruct your friends.

BREEDING SHEEP FOR FUR
Production Of "PersIan Lamb" May
Ee Added to the Industries of
the United States.

In far-away Bokhara, a town and
district in Asiatic Russia that has
half-mystical sound to American ears,
Persian" lambs have been grown for
ages for the tightly curled, lustrous-
black fleeces that constitute the warm
cover Of the natives. And so the fashion
of wearing Persian lamb and astrak-
han has come down from the ages until
women in all civilized lands where
the winters are cold seek their warmth,
and fashions decree has made them so
popular that the cost of Persian lamb
has gone up 142 per cent In 10 years.
1t must have been instinct-it could
not have been foreknowledge that
world war would eurtatl commerce
that made an American decide few
years ago to try breeding the sort Of
sheep that bear the highly prized
tieeces. on his 1,9OO-acre ranch near
Cottonwood Falls, Kan. He reasoned
that if they could be bred In Asia,
they could be bred in Kansas, and so
thoroughly did he believe in the propo-
sition that he invested $35, 1000 in kara
kul sheep from Bokhara. These he
crossed with native Lincoln-bred sheep,
and the lambs of this cross bear the
valuable pelts that hitherto have been
imported almost exclusively from
Russia.-Robert H. Moulton in Popu-
lar Mechanics Magazine.

This is brave world just now,

ourselves. how we hate to face some
domestic guns: we hate to ask about
leftover dropped eggs; and still more
do we funk the going back to the
good sense of mothers and grand
mothers, and do our own ordering!
There is. however. one thing that
would help us poor housekeepers
immensely, namely. n community ef-
fort If groups Of WOmen-the WOm'
ems clubs. the women of a parish. the
women of Street-would get together.
and pledge each other their moral sup
port the domestic situation would be
immensely helped; we would cease to
be sullied by our kitchens. Once let
Mary realize that not only Mrs. A. is

housekeepers will not permit waste,

KEEPS VITAL POINTS SAFE
Medical Explanation of Work Per-
formed by Fluid Which Bsthes
Brain and Spinal Cord.

Until very recently the exact role
played by the cerebro-spinal fluid
that watery substance which bathes
the brain and spinal cord-was not
understood. But nowadays 1t is
common practice among surgeons t"
squirt drugs into the tissues contain
ing this fluid or to draw out a drop or
two of it for examination.
The Journal of the American Medi-
cal Association, commenting on an ad
dress by DR.. w. D. Halliburton be-
fore the Royal Society of Medicine,
says he describes the cerebro-spinal
fluid as an ideal physiologic solution
in which the exquisitely sensitive nerv-
GUS system is always bathed.
This fluid does not, like the lymph,
arise from the blood by exudation of
serum through the walls of the capil-
laries, but is the product of the Sc
creting cells of what are called the
chOrOid plexuses in the ventricles of
the brain. The pressure under which
! the fluid always exists is due to the
Secretory pressure Of these cells and
not to the blood. And there are
scarcely any proteins found in 1t.
Halliburton says that in order to keep
out the harmful proteins, which would
poison the nerves, the harmless ones
also are almost completely excluded.
The membranes that line the spaces
in which the fluid is found seem to
permit substances to pass from 1t td
the blood. but to be irnperneable lex.
cept for oxygen) in the direction from
the blood to the fluid. The value OF
this arrangement is that when poi
sons enter the blood, as they do so
easily, they are kept away from the
delicate nerves.

FOUGHT and Destroyed Submarine.

Sighting submarine, the armed
guard of the United States navy
aboard the steamship Silver Shell was
ordered by its commander to haul up
the American flag and wait. The or
der was given by Chief Turret Capt.
William J. Clark. The guard obeyed
and so shots were exchanged Ia -ffSsEs-
ming fight lasting an hour and half.
The enemy was sighted at about 2,0OO
yards. As the German approached,
the vessel, with Stars and Stripes fly
ing and her men at the guns, fore and
aft, opened fire. The submarine re-
sponded at once with her deck guns,
and a sea duel of remarkable fierce
ness on both sides was started and
kept up with no stop. 1t was taken
on the run. In all the submarine fired
35 shots and the armed guard 25. Here,
however, is where the sustained gun
merry of the American man of wars
man outdistanced his foe. He had the
last shot. 1t struck the submarine,
raising her out of the water. The Sill
yer Shell held her position for a while
and the U-boat not coming to the sur
face 1t is believed she went down.
Clark is an enlisted man and has been
in the navy IL years. His home is at
Peabody, Mass. Recommendations
have been made for his promotion.
