The Tartar's Burglar Device.

In Tibet the Tartars have what is
possibly the Oldest burglar trap in the
world. 1t was invented, says Tit-Bts,
to prevent people from robbing the
tombs.
Whenever royal parsonage died in
Tibet he was buried with all his lew
els and his royal robes. To add a still
higher tribute, the most beautiful
young women of his court were suf-
located and embalmed on the dav Of
his funeral. With their beauty thus
preserved, they were placed in a
standing position round the tomb OF
their master, each holding some trink-
ct that the royal parsonage had used
during his liftime.
In order to protect those treasures
from vandals, the Tibetans erected
an arch in which rested sharply point
ed arrows, and under which was a re-
lease that discharged the arrows in
quick succession. Whoever trod on
the release robbed no more.
The invention, hidden around the
temples and the tombs of the rich.
both protected property and provide
inexpensive justice.

Earache.

Earache is so painful that the per-
son suffering from it thinks of little
except the pain. The physician, how
ever, is interested in it as symptom
1t may have various underlying causes.
Although it is generally owing to the
state of the ear itself, it may be what
we call indifferently reflex, SYM
pathetic or referred pain; that is, one
caused by trouble not in the ear but
in some other part of the bodo
Earache may attack either the young
or the old, but it oftenest attacks chill
dren. When babies are in acute pain
the doctor should observe them close
ly until he discovers the seat of the
pain. II the ear is at fault, the baby
will scream or start when anyone ap-
proaches it; or it may roll its head on
the pillow or lift its hand to the ear.
In older children earache often means
that the naSopharynx is in an unheal-
thy state or that the teeth need at
tention. 1t may mean that the child
has adenods, for a child with ade-
-noids catches cold easily, and the cold
may result in inflammation Of the
EuStachian tube.
Parents used to regard earache as
one of the inevitable ills of childhood
and thought they had done their duty
when they had applied some old wives
remedy, which did more harm than
good 1t is painful to reflect on the
dreadful fortunes that young children
then endured.
II your child has persistent earache,
you should call specialist in ear
disease, for the pain caused by in
hammation of the middle ear is re.
lieved most quickly and permanently
by making an incision in the ear drum
That not only gives relief to the suffer.
er but often prevents his becoming
deaf in later life. The ear specialist
is the only person competent to de-
eide whether or not the incision should
be made, and he is the only person who
is competent to make it,

Through Ignorance.

Animals must frequently be sur
prised at receiving punishment, "for
their good" when they are innocent of
intentional wrong doing. Puss, in her
kitten days, steals 4 bit of tempting
fish from the table. and has her ears
boxed. She is a wiser cat from that
time, as we'll as sadder one at the mo-
ment One can imagine her retreat
ing TO the woodshed TO think it over,
after the blow has fallen. Perhaps she
bewails her sad fate, and exclaims
against its cruelty, as we all do when
we have sinned through ignorance, and
not escaped the penalty.

"Take it away at once" was the per-

State Camp For Boys and Girls.

Ap'atN SatHp hpi anu
A great future is ahead Of Jacksons
Mill, a few miles from Weston, w
Va, on the street car line to Clarks-
burg, which has been selected as the
State Boys and Girls Camp, accord
ing to James S. Lakin, president Of
the State Board of Control, who
brought out the fact that plans of z
pretentious nature are being worked
out for this place.
Mr.. Lakin said that the camp was to
be developed along the lines Of the
best camps in the country and that
the Board Of Control would send the
men in charge Of the work on the camp
to large camps so that they might
make careful study OF the work
Buildings will be erected that will
combine into a harmonious group and
will be able to accommodate large
number of people. A mess hall and
kitchen has been built this year and is
now in use. The other buildings will
90 up In other years.
Obtaining satisfactory water sup
ply is said to be one OF the big prob
lens. This may require the drilling
of wells back in the hills and the lay
ing of long water lines, as the West
Fork river is seldom clear and suit
able for general use. 1t also may be
necessary to build a concrete swim
ming pool in order to have clear water.
The sanitary features of the camp are
being worked out by experienced men
and the camp is expected to be made
the largest and most healthful in West
Virginia.
1t is known that the Board of Con-
troll will not be satisfied with the five
acres comprising the boyhood home
of "Stonewall' Jackson, and the 30
acres to be donated by the people OF
Lewis county. 1t is generally under
stood that in a few years adjoining
farms will be incorporated into the
camp tract to give several hundred
acres. With the larger building group
and The enlarged acreage. this carp
VII readily accommodate several
thousand people. While the Board o.
Control leaves the control Of the
grourd in the hands Of the extension
division Of the college of agriculture
Of the State University as camp for
club boys and girls from the farms of
the State, it will also be available for
county and State gatherings of all
sorts.
The camp project was made possible
by the appropriation Of $4,000 this
year and $4,000 next year to equip it
This will enable tho extension division
to take care of several hundred farm
boys and girls there mex. year. This
year about 100 picked boys and girls
from almost every county gathered
there for specific training as leaders
for their respective counties and county
camps everywhere. In addition to
this State camp, the boys and girls
club of Harrison, Marion and Lewis
counties will likewise have their camps
there, in which all-around develop
ment Will be taught. In addition, two
or three schools are planning to send
their football teams there for their
fall training. 1t is predicted that
when the camp is more fully in opera
ton that it will be running from ear,y
spring until late in the fall.
