euIb culture Once a Craze.

Bulb culture In Europe has had n
particularly interesting history. The
tulip, for instance. has been popular
In European gardens for about three
centuries, and prior to that time 1t
was cultivated for many centuries by
the Turks. Near the close Of the SIX
teenth century the tulip was intro
duced into Holland and the popularity
of the plant Increased so rapidly that
by 1884 1t had become craze. For a
number of years the widest specuIa-
tlon prevailed in tulips and enormous
prices were paid for rare bulbs. Five
hundred dollars was not IN unusual
amount to pay for II choice tulip, and
such bulbs as the famous Semper AN
gustus brought more than $5,UO
apiece.

MIND SUPREME OVER PAIN
Notable Instances When Agony Was
Subdued by Determined Exercise
Of the Power Of the VIII.

1t is said that even the most acute
physical pain can he overcome by
determined effort Of the will.
DIR. Edward IL. Clarke suffered from
fatal malady, which produced the
most agonizing pain: and yet he could
determlnntely withdraw his conscious
ness, so to speak. from that pain by
fixing it upon another object, thnt OBJ
ject being the working out of his own
neutral train of thought In the compo-
sition Of book.
This Is well known to have been
the case also with regard to Sir Wall
ter Scott, who. during very severe
and painful illness, dictated the Bride
of Lnmmermoor." The most remark
able fact about the. composition of this
work WINS TINT, after his recovery. he
entirely forgot all that he had done,
the book on its publication coming to
him rs an entirely new work, with
which he had nothing whatever to do.
He only remembered the general out
line of the story upon which he had
composed his novel; this he had heard
in early life. and 1t remained with
him; hut of the working up of this
story into the novel. while lie lay on
his sofn cOntending with paroXysms
Of agony, he had no recollection.

DIDN'T KNOW CURLING IRON
Easy to Understand That Youthful

Every man knows what a curling
Iron is. but does every man know
whether or not curling iron Is a
deadly weapon?
The question was raised In Judge

when Edward attacked him with a

Some interesting figures about the
rat population Of Knnsas have been
compiled for the federal food admins
traitor Of that stnte. Working with fig.
ures Of European rat surveys made just
before the war. 1t is estimated that the
rat population of city like Wichita
is probably equal to the human popu.
lation, while in the country districts
there are at least ten rats for every
person. A fair estimate would give
100000 rats for Kansas, each requir.
ing 81 worth Of food q year, a $0,OOO,.
600 loss.
Practically all the rats in Kansas,
however, would have to work one year
to effect the destruction represented by
the careless handling of eggs In that
state. for 1t is estimated that careless
handling, storing and shipping cause
the destruction of One-fourth of the
state's total egg output for loss Of
100000.

scribed on the countless tablets OF
half world. the maxims that have
ruled much Of the lives of billions Of
men and. women for thousands Of
years. The barren grandeur Of the
peaks, the rocky difficulty of the as
cent, are pitched in the proper key.
Unfortunately, the Moslem rulers Of
the region have cluttered up the
neighborhood of the mount itself with
all manner of childish legends and
authentic" relics. Orientnlly toler-
ant, they hive not only accepted the
Jewish traditions of the spot. which
have become n part of their great RI

added to them and overlaid them with
all manner of crude superstition.
Thus they will show you the very
rock where the children of Israel set

monplace bowlder which is guaranteed
to be the one smItten by Moses when

Build Now.-Prices Will No. Recede

The Minneapolis News says:
Judging by history and by sound
economic theory 1t will be genera
ton before prices get back to pre-war
levels il they ever do"
Cold facts gathered by the govern
ment say go ahead with home
building.
Up to first OF year, farm produce
prices had advanced ll8 per cent.
over pre-war prices. Corresponding
figure for lumber WAS 70 per cent.
Commodities In general advanced
ll3 per cent. Building materials mot
including steel) advanced ~ per cent.
These are the facts. Judging by
history and by sound economic
theory, it will be a generation before
prices get back to pre-war levels, II
they ever do.
Probably there will be gradual
decline, but meantime there will be
an evening up. Prices which have
gone up fastest and highest will come
down first and most. Prices which
have made the smallest comparative
advance are apt to stay up until other
prices come down to their level. This
last applies to the building materials.
Its poor business to wait.
