Aid for Struggling Authors.

Here is an item from the New York
Globe Of interest to impecunious writ
ers ut is not generally known that
the Authors league has a fund for
authors who are in distress. Re-
Gently the league learned that young
woman who had won considerable dis
tinction and prominence as writer
had through a series of misfortunes and
through illness been reduced to dire
distress. A representative called to
see her and found her on the verge Of
a physical and nervous collapse, due
to actual starvation. Immediate means
were supplied her, and In order to give
her an opportunity to regain her health
and to get her back to her work
substantial amount was raised among
the members to carry her through
thu period OF enforced inactivity.

Japanese 7ea-Drinkin4

Tea is associated in the japanese
mind with the cult which has grown
up in connection with tea serving. AS
to the origin of the tea ceremony, or
Cha-nO-yu, as it is called in the native
language, there are two theories. One
of them is that In the early times the
Buddhist priests drank tea in order to
keep awake during the night service,
and that from this habit the drinking
Of tea became closely connected with
silent meditation and thereby elevated
to a canon of ceremony. Another
hypothesis attempts to explain the or
igin of the cult not in religious but in
psychological terms. 1t states that
the original seed of the tea brought
from China was planted In the various
provinces of Japan and produced
slightly different varieties of tea. Now
the court mobiles, from their character
istic fOndness for dilettantism, started
the gentle amusement Of competing in
their ability to discriminate the differ
ent varieties of tea and in tracing
their origin. The practice thereafter
developed into an elaborate system
of etiquette.-Eas and West News.

RIGHT METHOD OF TRAINING
Youngster Of Bold Spirit Does Not
Need Curb So Much as lncul-
cation of Courtesy.

A bold spirit is invaluable, but an
impertinent manner is an abOmination
in child. says the Philadelphia Eve
ming Bulletin. And parents, uncon-
sciously, are many times at fault, and
actually inculcate holiness in their
little ones quoting their clever re-
marks while the children are around,
Insisting that they "show off" some
accomplishment.
The forward youngster is not apt to
he brighter than the shy one. but he
receives the credit because of his
readiness to do and to talk. Perhaps
natures recompense for less ability is
the courage to exploit what one has.
Sheer initiative alone-with, of course,
sufficient ability TO back 1t UPS
bound to make a leader.
DO not too summarily curb the
youngster with the bold spirit-rather
train him In courtesy and in common
sense and so teach him the valueless-
ness of fooIhardiness.

To Tell Poisonous Mushrooms.

Summed up briefly. the first thing
to be noticed in distinguishing edible
from poisonous mushrooms is whether
the gills are a purple brown, as they
should be when mature. Most of the
fatal errors have arisen from not
noticing this point and selecting
species whose gills are white- The
next point is whether the stem is
cylindrical and solid and has a ring or
traces of a ring above; and especially
whether 1T seems to come directly from
the ground or whether the base is
Dubious and sheathed with mem
braneous bag or scales. If it has a
sheath or scales, it cannot be common
mushroom. If a collector finds muSh-
room having the points here men
toned, the chance of his eating 1t is
next to nothing, for there is only one
species answering the description
which Is to be avoided. and that is
very rare indeed, and has a taste so
disagreeable that no one would wish
to eat it, while the taste of the mush-
room is pleasant.

Invented Jinrikisha.

The 'jinrikisha" is man-power
carriage. light vehicle balanced on
two wheels, with projecting shafts and
crossbar, within which a man steps
and pulls. The naming of the carriage
is due to the Japanese The vehicle
was invented in 1871 at Yokohama,
by the Rev. Jonathan Goble who died
in May, 1898. He was an American

Celebration Of Charles IFS Return
to Power Still Kept Up, Though
Not Generally.

Old customs persist tenaciOusly In
rural England, especially in the sleepy
hOllows where men like Silas Mariner
may be found bending over their looms
or engaged in other useful occupation.
1t is In these sleepy hollows that
one has to look May 20 for the cele-
bration of the once popular festival
known as Oak-Apple day. The date is
the anniversary of the birth of King
Charles II in 1880, and of his "gIor-
ous' restoration to the throne 80 years
later.
Among the earliest acts of parIia-
ment, passed on his return to power,
was one enacting THAT in all sue
ceeding ages the 10Th of May be cele-
DRAFTED in every church and chapel in
England, and the dominions thereof,
by rendering thanks to God for the
kings peaceable restoration to actual
possession and exercise of his legal
authority over his subjects"

FISH STEW EXCELLENT DISH
Home Demonstration Agents Of the
Department of Agriculture Rec
ommend 1t Highly,

The pine bark fish stew" which Is
being marketed by the canning clubs
in the southern states along the At
lantic and gulf coasts, should be of
interest to housewives, says the New
York Times. The development of
combination foods peculiar to certain
localities has been particularly fOs-
tered by extension agents of the Uni
ted States Department Of Agricul-
ture and the state agricultural col
ieges which carry on boys and girls
club work. Almost every country in
the world and practically every dis
trict in the United States, has spe-
cial "one-piece" dish made of the prod
ucts In that regioA. The gulnbO Of
the far South, the New England boiled
dinner, the bouillabaisse of Marseilles
reproduced in New Orleans. Hun
garian goulash, Chinese chop suey In
dian curry, Irish stew, French ragout,
are instances of this tendency to blend
Iavors in one dish.

Explosions.

Volcanic explosions are commonly
regarded as the release of stores of
energy kept confined by external pres
sure, and boiler explosions and geyser
eruptions are typical of this class Of
outbreaks. An expert of the United
States geophysical laboratory finds
that another class of explosions, that
of explosive mixtures like gunpowder,
are not likely to occur in volcanoes.
But a third class, that of explosive
compounds brought into contact with
oxygen or water, is more probably
the usual source of volcanic explo-
siops, and is illustrated by aluminium
sesquioxide = finely divided = brought
into such relation with water in the
electric furnace that mechanical deto-
nation causes violent explosion. The
dust of Mont Pelee may have been
analogous to the aluminium sesqui-
oxide.

KILLED WIFE TO END AGONY
ortton Gassed Woman He Loved, In
curabIy III, and Then Ended
His Own Life.

1.-THE doctor gives anesthesia to
hopeless agony. The soldier spares a
thrust or a shot to writing com
rade. Any decent man shoots his
women folk to save them from dis
honor"
Such was the explanation made by
e. r. Eardley for killing himself and
his wife in their little cottage at
scarborough. says an English ex-
change.
Mrs. Eardley was a hopeless Invalid,
and her disease had developed to the
point where it became necessary to
place her in home for the mentally
afflicted In the letter from which
the extracts above are made, Eardley
said:
For two years now my wife has
lived In hourly torment. Her condi-
ton grows daily worse. l can do moth
ing more for her; my will to live and
win is broken. There is nothing be-
fore her but the madhouse, without
even the alienation | have been able
to bring.
However human law may regard
the IIldliel, my couScleuCt IuotiHCS
me; indeed, l should live coward in
my own esteem if l failed her in this
extremity"
Even in his sorrow Eardley thought
of those who would discover the trag-
edy, and in the letter he wrote to the
friend telling him of his determine
tion, he added:
"The bodies of myself and my dear
wife will be found together in the lit
tie dressing room. Great care must
be taken in entering the house; the
dressing room and communicating
bedroom will be full of gas"
After hearing all the testimony and
the reading of the letter the jury
found that the dead man took his
own life and that of his wife while he
was temporarily of unsound mind ana
added an expression of sympathy with
the relatives.

STRANGE KlNSHIP OF WORDS


1t is not easy to understand how
there should be any relations between
the words degree" and degrade" but
such kinshinp doth appear If one but
consider the facts. Degree" has sew
eral phases of meaning. There is the
degree of temperature. the degree of
circular measure, the degree Of con-
sanguinity and propinquity, the degree
OF excellence, the degree of master OF
arts, bachelor of arts, doctor of divin-
ity and all degrees of degree.
The word came out of the Latin,
passed through the French and was
introduced into England by the Nor
man French and here we have it with
US 1t started from the word "gradus"
which meant a step. "Grade" and
graduation are kin-words. de
gradus would be to step down, for
de" ''di' and dis are forms of a
word meaning two" or twice" or
separate from" Thus to degrade"
is to "step down, or cause to step
down."
Now. de" and "gradus" were the
parents of degree" and degrade" At
first, degradation" meant a reduction
from one grade or rank to another,
and then it came to mean the with
drawal of any rank in office or society.
In some way we have come to think
that a man of degree is high-up sort
of fellow, and that degraded man is
a low-down sort of chap.
Though these words had common
origin many centuries ago. it signifies
little. Avoid anything that tends tN
degrade and struggle to be men and

inside the box which contains 1t there
VIII be nothing to attract pickpocket
or a holdup man. In fact, sundiy gem
tlemen who nave stolen radum from
physicians have turned up a few weeks
later with very unpleasant and slow

or opposite the spot where the radum
was carried, and in one instance the
thief was traced Through his applica-

If a thief should crack the tube and

SCARED and useless appendage in the

so much for the way in which the
radium will be cared for. The testing
of it after purchase will be done by
the Bureau OF Standards in Washing
ton and is very interesting process.
Radium as sold Is never pure, but is
q mixture of radium salt--usually the
sulphate - with barium sulphate and
sometimes a trace of mesothorium. The
labor OF separating the barium from
the radiun completely is SO great that
perhaps only a few chemists in the
world have ever seen pure radium
salts, Nine. Curie herself having been
the first to prepare the pure product.
1T is therefore impossible to weigh
out exact amounts of radium salts,
but inasmuch as the communicating
substance does not in any way alter
the radium for experimental use or in
the treatment of cancer, the presence
OF small amount of impurity does
no harm"
