A MoMENTous GAs RILL

A MOMENToUS GAS BILL Edison is a Golden Plated Rule man. He doesn't know it yet
 But I'm telling him now He is an exact exponent of 1t; This thing I do my bit to teach: He achemized Evil into Good. As a result the world benefited. The evildoer got his own coin back. It was forty years ago.
 Edison had a little factory In debt, d judgment against it. He paid a sheriff to postpone it. Cost s a day-a big sum then. He was in the midst of experiments. The gas man came with a bill. It couldn't be paid that minute. Not a day would the gas man give. He shut off the gas at once. It plunged the place into darkness. Edison was so mad he vowed: I'll knock gas into a cooked hat. And that gas company, too" Then and there he began. Gas technique he bored over Resolved 10 replace ii with better. Electricity would do it. They'd get a run for their money.

new substance is produced by the ker.

ENJOYED TOBACCO IN SCHOOL
In the Seventeenth Century II Was
Common for the Children to
Use the Weed.

The latest diatribe against women
smokers-by "a doctor to a famous
life insurance company" according to
the London paper which publishes it
classes the tobacco habit among
women as an evil of modern growth.
But when tobacco first reached Eng.
land 1t was enjoyed in common by
both sexes. In the seventeenth CEN
fury, according to John Ashton, 'it
was not only usual for the women to
join the men in smoking, but in Wor-
cestershire the children were sent to
school with pipes in their satchels,
and the schoolmaster called halt in
their studies while they all smoked
he teaching the neophyte."
Scotch women used to enjoy pipe
the same way as they enjoyed a pinch
OF snuff. One of the compilers of the
statistical Account of Scotland" pub
1shed in 1901, records that 1.-THE chief
luXuries in the rural districts are
SNUFF, tobacco and whisky. Tea and
sugar are little used, but the use Of
whisky has become very great. The
use of tobacco may almost be said to
be excessive, especially among the
female sex. There is scarce a young
woman by the time she has been
taught to spin but has also learned to
smoke. Smoking seems to have been
introduced as an antidote to rheuma-
tfsm and ague. The favorable altera-
ton with respect to these diseases has
only produced a greater avidity for
tobacco"

Find New Kind of Animal.

Captain Philips, writing from Brit.
ish Ruanda, in the Tanganyika terri
tory, states he has shot a specimen of
an hitherto unidentified species of
duiker. The animal is about the size
of large goat, and is known as an
eppo Or enpuyi by the natives, to
whom it is In way sacred as being
the totem-beast of Musinga, the now
reigning chief, or mwami of the coun.
try of Ruanda, over the greater part
of which a mandate was recently
given to Belgium by the peace con.
ference.
The eppo lives in the bamboo forests
of Mount Sabine and other mountain
forests, and seldom comes into open
country, 1t often takes refuge in the
low and broad forks of large trees.
The creature has a stumpy fail, oribi
horns, and marsh hooves: in color it
is a rufous black, and has e bright
yellow stripe along about half Of its
backbone. In the case Of the present
