ALMOST GAVE AWAY SECRET
Little Girl Would Have Had Sweet
Revenge If She Had Reached
That Toupee.

A prominent Vigo county business
man wears toupee. Only his
family and closest friends know.
But recently it almost became a pub
lie fact. He was dining with his wife
and some friends at large hotel,
when in walked another friend with
his four-year-old daughter. The bust
ness man likes to tease children, so
he Immediately began on this one. He
called her little boy, and persisted
in addressing her in that way.
It was evident she was not enjoy
ing the incident, and the Vigo county
mans wife came to the child's rescue.
eff he doesn't stop calling you names
I'd pull his hair If 1 were you," she
advised.
The little girl started to follow
that advice, and then fun did begin
The way that man ducked and begged
the youngster to desist threw the
crowd into paroXysms Of laughter
But the people who knew about the
toupee nearly went wild. They were
almost sorry when he finally per
suaded her to be friends and leave
his head alone.-Indianapolis News.

WOMEN MUST AVOID WORRY
Weakens the Body for Its Daily Fight
for Health, and So Destroys
Good Looks.

Every minute that a woman spends
in worry, weakens the body for its
daily fight for health. 1t adds age,
it causes deep burrows to appear on
the forehead, it Injuries the digestion
and robs life of all pleasures and
peace. So if you wish to keep your
good looks, don't worry.
Work gives incentive, and thus life
and health, to the organs of the body
1t strengthens our will, teaches us
patience, perseverance and the cOur.
age to endure. 1t has been the sal.
walton of many. The homely duties
that are performed by the house moth
er each day, the sweeping, cooking
and home caring, are wholesome du
ties which lead to health and strength
But if women allow their daily
tasks to fret and worry them, they
lose all of the benefit they otherwise
would gain. 1t is not always the ac
tual work that wears out the nerves
and temper and ruins the disposition
1t is the spirit in which the work i:
done which allows worry to creep in

Earth Is SLOWING Down.

Happily for our convenience, the
process is extremely SLOW, but all the
same the fact is that the days are
getting longer.
This does not refer to hours OF
daylight increasing with the advancing
year, but to days as timed by the
revolution of the earth on it's axis.
The earth's power of rotation, says
a writer in the Popular Science
Monthly, is growing weaker and as q
result its revolution on it's axis is
slowing up. Which means, of course,
that the day is lengthening.
An epoch must eventually arrive
when the day will be equal in length
to The year; that is, to the time it
takes for us to revolve about the sun.
Then the earth will always turn the
same face toward the solar luminary
just as the moon now always turns the
same face toward US, and one-half of
our planet will have sunshine all the
year, while the other half is in total
and permanent darkness.
That is, If the sun still is shining.
IT may become a dim apd chilly orb
before then, -,,.r '''

Preserving Fruit in Transit.

In an attempt to evolve methods of
preventing the spoilage of fruits and
vegetables by freezing while in transit
or storage, the Department Of Agricul-
ture is conducting thousands of expert
ments at the Arlington (Va.) labora-
tories, to determine at what tempera-
lures these products freeze. The expert
mental apparatus, says Popular
Mechanics Magazine, consists Of a
large tank in which brine is circulated
and thermOcOuples which possess the
peculiar property of generating weak
and variable currents Of electricity
when they are subjected to changes
In temperature. These variations are
registered by delicate meters. SO
sensitive are the thermocouples that
they will detect difference of
temperature Of .0001 degree. In ser
vice, test specimen of fruit and
thermocouple are placed in one Of
twelve cups in the lid Of the brine
tank. By watching the specimen and
the meter closely the exact tempera-
ture at which freezing begins is de-
termined with great accuracy.

COUNTRY OF SWEET SCENTS
French City Of Lyons Center Of
Region Whioh Supplies the
World With Perfume.

Lyons, in France, Is the city Of
scents. 1t Is the center of a region
which supplies the world with per-
fumes, and has the only university
that offers course in perfumery-
making to students. Within the last
few years Lyons has developed a
great laboratory system for the manu-
facture Of artificial perfumes by the
process of synthetic chemistry. Thus
Its technical experts convert oil of
verbena into violet and lily-of the
valley, oil Of camphor into heliotrope.
aniseed oil into hawthorne, OIL of
Glove into vanilla, and oil of rosewood
into bergamot. Toluene "a derivative
of coal tar) they transform into jas
mine and artificial rose. From xylene
(ikewise coal tar product) they
obtain artificial musk.
Roses are grown on an immense
scale in the region about Lyons for
the manufacture Of perfumery. Like.
wise sage, thyme and sweet mar
joram. That region produces 80 per
cent Of the total worlds output vi
real lavender oil, representing q
value of 100000 francs a year
One concern has 10 square miles

FAMOUS ENGLISH RACE HORSE
Eclipse, Bred by the Duke Of cumber-
land, Was the Sensation Of
His Generation.

That celebrated race horse, Eclipse,
which died Feb. %, 1889, at the ripe
age Of 25 years, received his name on
account Of his being born during an
eclipse Of the sun, and it became curl
ously significant and appropriate when
in mature life he was found to pass
all contemporary horses as regarding
speed.
Eclipse was bred by the Duke of
Cumberland, brother of George iii,
and afterward became the property of
Dennis O'Kelly, who on his death be-
queathed the animal, along with all
his brood mares and other horses, to
his brother Philip. For many years
Eclipse lived in retirement from the
turf, but was in other ways a source
OF considerable revenue to his owner
on account of the many visitors who
came to see the renowned hero Of the
race track who was passing his last
days at Clay Hill near EPSON.
In those days it was not the custom
to insure the lives of animals, and
the fact that Eclipse was insured for
an enormous sum only made his popu-
larity the greater. When it became
necessary to remove him he was so
worn out that carriage had to be
especially constructed to carry him.
The secret of his immense success
was revealed by the autopsy, when it
was discovered that his heart was of
unusual size, as it weighed thirteen
pounds.-Chicago Journal.

Movies In hMaths.n

Movie aids to instruction in mathe-
mates are being utilized at Hunting
ton school here. Geometry, a dull sub
ject in other days, is said to have
become almost thing of joy. Text
books are used, but only after an
appetite for solids, surfaces and space
has been created and stimulated by
lines that move and by animated
angles.
Charles H. Sampson, the instructor,
says he uses two reels of 1000 feet
each. "The purpose" he says, ''is not
to teach geometry but rather to gain
a valuable aid in the teaching of it.
1.-THE subject is introduced on the
film by a Japanese juggler He
appears with a basket filled with
geometrical figures of all kinds which
he juggles with skill. Thus the
students are early interested in the
general subject. Because too few
students appreciate the value of the
historical background there is next
introduced a series Of short life
sketches."-Boston Dispatch in the

Plant impaIes Insects.

There is in Cuba a curious grass
cenchrus echinatus, which bristles
with tiny sharp-pointed spikelets upon
which multitudes of insects are i'm
paled by night as well as by day
The wings Of the victims are pierced
and entangled by the barbed spines,
so that the most of them are unable
to get away, and thus perish miser-
ably.
Even large, luminous swapping
beetle, which Is so strong and active
that it can with difficulty be held in
the hands, falls a victim to these
vegetable bayOnets. 1t has been OBJ
served, however, that two species of
insects, a large bug, oebalus, and an
earwig, readily free themselves from
the spines. Minute insects are not
caught. The grass does not appear to
derive any nourishment from its prey
1t is found elsewhere in the West
Indies and In southern Florida.
