Familiar "Hoss Shoe" Game
Proves a Magnet for Many,
Despite the Call to Duty

The custom of using horseshoes in
stead of the large. fiat metal rings
with which the game of quoits is pro-
fessionally played was ancient when
Joseph Strut wrote his sport and
Pastimes of the People of England"
well over a hundred years ago, and,
according to traveller in modern
New England, they are still so used in
that part of the world. The traveller
tells Of seeing two Maine farmers
meet early one morning in the road
in front of a farmhouse. "I'll play
you a game of hoss-shoes," suggested
one. "I'll play you just one game"
said the other. 'Fve got a lot of work
to do today" So they began playing,
and when the traveller passed that
way again late in the afternoon they
were still at it. They had been play
ing horseshoes all day, and the farm
er's wife confided to the traveller, not
altogether with admiration. that they
hadn't stopped even for dinner.

"What Is Man?"
Interesting Answer Dealing With
Physical Makeup

A man weighing $50 pounds will con-
tain approximately $500 cubic feet of
gas-oxygen, hydrogen and nitrogen
in his constitution, which at 80 cents
a thousand cubic feet would be worth
$3.50 for Illuminating purposes, as
serts a writer in the Electrical Ex-
perimenter. He also contains all the
necessary fats to make 15-pOund
candle, and thus, together with his
$500 cubic feet of gases, he possesses
considerable Illuminating possibilities.
His system contains twenty-five pounds
and ten ounces Of carbon, or enough to
make 78O dozen, or $3.50 lead pencils.
There are about fifty grains of iron in
his blood and the rest of the body
would supply enough Of this metal to
make one spike large enough to hold
his weight. A healthy man contains
fifty-four ounces of phosphorus. This
deadly poison would make 100000
matches or enough poison to kill 800
persons. This, with two ounces of
lime, make the stiff bones and brains.
No difference how sour a man looks,
he contains about sixty Jumps of sugar
of the ordinary cubical dimensions, and
to make the seasoning complete, there
are twenty spoonfuls Of salt. If
man were distilled into water, he
would make about thirty-eight quarts,
or more than half his entire weight.
He also contains a great deal of starch,
chloride of potash, magnesium, sui
phur and hydrochloric acid in his Won

shells of 1,0Oe eggs into a huge pan or

delicate tissues of his brain. And this
is the scientific answer to the question,

THE CHAPERON

1 take my chaperon to the play
She thinks she's taking me.
And the gilded youth who owns the box
A proud young man Is he;
But how would his young heart be hur1
If he could only know
That not for his sweet sake go
Nor yet to see the trifling show.
But to see my chaperon firt.
Her eyes beneath her snowy hair
They sparkle young as mine;
There's scarce a wrinkle in her hand
So delicate and fine.
And when my chaperon is seen,
They come from everywhere
The dear old boys with silvery hair.
With old-time grace and old-time air,
To greet their old-time queen.
They bow as my young Midas here
Will never learn to bow
(The dancing masters do not teach
That gracious reverence now;
With voices quavering just a bit,
They play their old parts through,
They talk Of folk who used to WOO,
OF hearts that broke in fifty-two-
Now none the worse for wear.
And as those aged crickets chirp
I watch my chaperon's face.
And see the dear old features take
A new and tender grace:
And in her happy eyes 1 see
Her youth awakening bright,
With all its hope, desire, delight
All me! I wish that I were quite
AS young-as gay as she!

Notes Issued by Austrians.

A correspondent writes that Aus
trian notes were not the only "duds"
that caused trouble and loss to the
allies. Every British soldier who
served on the western front must
have had experience Che says) of
those pretty Belgian notes which
were not worth the paper they were
printed on, for the reason that the
enemy were in control of the Belgian
national banks. "It was never safe."
Che adds) "to accept change for a
hundred franc note or other note Of
high denomination without examin-
ing each small bill given in lieu. One

notes hidden away among the genuine
