BELIEF HAS A FOUNDATION
Idea That Seventh Child OF Seventh
Child 10 "Gifted" Not Alto
qSsher a Failacy.

The seventh child Of a seventh child
{sometimes 1.-The seventh son Of a
seventh sony Is supposed to be gifted
with the power Of curing headaches and
more serious ailments by the laying on
of hands, and to have other magical
powers. In other words, he is supposed
to have a gift"
Among the later discoveries in
eugenics was that the younger chill
dren Of very intelligent men inherited
more of their fathers intelligence than
did the older children or, as sometimes
happened, that the children of a
Younger son were supremely gifted
with intelligence. The reason for this
according to eugenic theories-is that
talented men or women, like many
others. usually marry when fairly
young If they marry at all. Inc oldef
children of such talented man have
therefore the tendency to inherit only
what mental qualities he may have de-
veloped at that time.
But supposing that the talented man.
as lie usually the case, continues to de-
yelop amazing mental qualities, then If
he has children when his brain In COM
pletely mature, those children will
probably inherit their fathers matured
mentality; or, If they do not inherit it,
their children (the clever mans grand
children) receive the Inheritance.

WHEN ROMANS RULED PARIS
Traces OF Their Occupation Of the
French Capital

Nothing has been spared to make
the Palals des Thermes a truly splen
did abode. An aqueduct brought pure
and wholesome water from the springs
Of Rungts, that Is, about three leagues
from the center Of Paris. For the
longest part Of Its course it was I'M
derground, but 1t crossed the valley
of Arcueil by a series of high arches.
some foundations of which time has
respected, admirably constructed and
finished like the walls Of the hall Of
Thermes DE Guilher1ny.
N B.-The Roman remains, always
known as Palais des Thermes, in the
garden adjoining the Hotel de Cluny,
probably belong to buildings erected
A. D. 800, when Paris was Gallo
Roman town, by Constantius Chorus.
1t has been sometimes affirmed that
Emperor Julian the Apostate was
proclaimed and resided here, but it Is
far more probable that he lived on
the island in the Seine, and that these
buildings were simply those Of mag
nificent baths. The most perfect part
Of the baths is a great hall, decided to
have been the frigidarium, which Is
exceedingly massive and majestic; OF
the tepidarium, only the ruined walls
remain.-"Walks in Paris" Augustus

Two Kinds of Thinkers.

There are two kinds of people in
the world-word people and fact
people. The former deal in words and
phrases and form their judgments on
opinions and beliefs. The latter
analyze questions and draw con-
illusions only from the point of view
Of what they believe to be established
facts. The two types are as far apart
as the north and south poles and are
incapable of carrying on anything in
the way of intelligent argument or de-
bate, because they do not talk the
same language or think by the same
method. The word man starts with a
desired conclusion and fashions his
facts to produce that result. The
fact man analyses his subject, seeks
to establish the truth In regard to
facts which have bearing on 1t and
then fearlessly draws what he be-
lieves to be honest conclusions. His
process is like the working out OF a
mathematical problem; he does not
know what the answer will be until
the last figure is made. He thinks for
ward, while the word man thinks
backward.

ROCK THAT CAN BE SAWED
Oregon Product That Would Seem
to Have Peculiar and Most
Valuable Properties.

Tufa, volcanic ash rock, with prop
critics possessed by no other stone, is
being quarried near the town of Mount
Angel, Ore, the only place in the
United States where it has been found
In sufficient quantities for commercial
use. The stone is first blasted out and
Is then hauled to a mill and handled
like lumber. 1t is cut into blocks or
boards" Of any desired dimensions.
Saws, planners and drills are used on
1t exactly as in q lumber or planning
mill. The finished product closely re-
sembles lumber, but Is cut only in
short lengths. 1t is light-gray color,
with spots Of white running through
It, and weighs only 80 pounds to the
cubic foot, about one-half the weight
Of common building stone.
A peculiar characteristic of the Ore
gon tufa Is that it can be t,ailed.
Nails are driven into 1t easily as into
oak and other hardwoods, but are
harder to pull out. Tufa furniture,
nailed together, has been made ex-
perimentally. It is regularly used for
fence posts, holdings. stills and many
other purposes where mailing IS re-
quired. Recently it has been discov-
cred that when pulverized it makes a
soft, velvety powder which is an ex-
ce1lent filler for rubber. 1t Is pre-
dtcted that 1t will supplant all other
materials for this purpose, thus utiliz-
ing the refuse.-Horace E. Thomas in
Popular Mechanics Magazine.

MAKING the Hammer Safer.

The hammer Is a useful tool but Its
use is not quite free from danger to
the user or from injury to materials.
The fat, highly polished surface Is
likely to glance off the nail unless the
blow is squarely delivered; and when
the nail Is of cast metal, its head
often flies off and inf1icts quite severe
injuries.
One firm had innumerabie accidents
from this cause, and some OF the men
were permanently injured. Thereupon,
the managers tried hammer heads with
scored faces as an experiment, and
owing to the success Of the expert
ment, the polished faced hammer has
been abolished in that firms factory,
except for special classes Of work.
When the hammers face Is scored
or roughened 1t Is very much less
likely to glance off the nail head. The
fact that this type Of hammer has
proved so conspicuously successful and
safe, has encouraged many manufac-
turers to place it on the market.

THOUGHT NOT REALLY RAPID
Mind Moves Comparatively Slowly.
Notwithstanding Expression That
Has Become Common.

''As quick as thought" is an express
sien much used to denote the acme
Of speed in action, but, like so many
popular expressions, this one is mis-
leading Thought, or at least the men
tai registering Of a sensation, Is not
an exceedingly speedy process, the
thought impulse moving at the COM
paratively slow speed of no feet a
second, or rs miles an hour. Light
travels nearly nine million times as
swiftly. Thought would be hopelessly
beaten In a race with a motorcar.
Perhaps a good illustration of the
comparative slowness Of thought
waves is to assume that a man had
an arm IS miles long and that, when
he was not looking friend should
grasp his hand. Before the owner Of
that arm became conscious that his
hand had been touched. the friend
would have released 1t, and had time
to walk four miles or eat a very ex-
tensive dinner.-Kansas City Star.

Ant Families.

One of the most peculiar examples
Of nature protection found in the
world Is that afforded by the sugar
ant Of Australia. The sugar ant Is
one Of the smaller of the field ants OF
that country. The meat ant, on the
other hand, is very pugnacious crea-
ture, so that there are few enemies
Of its size which dare approach Its
nest. The sugar ant realizes this, 80
It seeks protection for its own home
BY building it at the base of the mound
Of the meat ant Then 1t covers the
nest entrance with leaves, 50 that they
are hidden from sight. The meat ant
works only during the day; as soon a.
the sun sets, 1t goes into its nest ana
IL not easily disturbed, while darkness
prevails. On the other hand, the sugar
ant comes out at night and feeos upon
the honey Of flowers or the zap OF
small plants. In this way the Two
lspecies Of ant do not come IN cont1ce

Writer'S Got Money in Advance.

The Seventeenth or Eighteenth CEN
fury author traded rather more on
the trustfulness of the public than
does the new school, for he peddled
his book before it was written and
sometimes spent the proceeds before
he had completed half dozen chap
tiers. The only difference is that his
peddling was particular rather than
general; he went round the houses
of the great and wealthy with his
"plan." and the great and wealthy,
generally in sufficient numbers, got
rid Of him by agreeing to have their
names put down for a subscription.
If they were very great or very
wealthy they might expect de(lica-
ton thrown In. as it were. In which
respect the modern peddler has
no advantage. for no obligation is i'm
piled In the purchase of copy Of the
Guardian.

Too Much Expected of Milk.

The use of milk as food has been
so extensively exploited by the milk
interests that there exists a somewhat
erroneous idea about it which recent
speaker, before the American Pedia.
trio society, is endeavoring to correct.
These errors principally concern the
group of children between the ages OF
one and six years. These errors
might be classified under the headings:
l. Prolonged use of milk as an ex-
elusive article of diet. 2. Increased
quantities of milk given along with
other foods. Milk might not only be
used too long as an exclusive article
of diet and in excessive quantities
with other foods, but its nutritional
value might be injured by boiling. The
laity were taught, and rightly so, that
milk was an ideal breeding place for
germs, and that the growth of these
germs might be inhibited by keep
ing the milk on ice or the milk might
be brought to boil. The use Of boiled
milk was becoming more prevalent
and many injuries to nutrition oc-
Cured.

Measure Your Figure.

A Brazilian art scholar claims to
have discovered how the old masters
of painting and sculpture worked. He
has taken the pictures and shown, by
drawing lines and angles on them, how
the artists gave their compositions
strictly mathematical foundations.
Ancient Egyptian artists had rule
of proportions based on the length OF
the middle finger. the distance Of
which was contained 10 times in the
length Of the whole body.
Greek artists adopted these proper
lions until 1t was established that the
face must be a tenth part and the
head an eighth part of the total
height of the body. The face was di-
vided into three equal parts-from the
roots of the hair to the root of the
nose; from the root of the nose to its
point, and from the end of the nose
to the chin

SunerstItions In Wales.

Superstihops Of the country folk OF
Wales are discussed in the quarterly
report OF DR.. Arthur Hughes. medical
health officer Of the county Of Car
marthenshire. Despite the fact that
fortune telling and witchcraft are pro-
hibited under the English law, large
numbers Of Welsh peasants bring
their ailing children to the witch doc
tors rather than to medical practition-
ers. One fetish that appeals to these
superstitious people is that a witch
doctor can cure a child Of backward
ness by means Of making a slight In
cision in the cartilage of the child's
ear. The operation must be performed
during the waxing of the moon and the
art is handed down from generation to
generation, the "doctor" usually being
\ woman. II cure does not result
the operation Is repeated until the
child il cured. 1t is said that many
women practice this art and that the
people pay large sums to have dull
children so treated.-Brooklyn Eagle.

To Utilize Waste Time.

A system in vogue in few New
York department stores to utilize the
spare time of their employees When
customers are few Is to hold meetings
of a semi-social character, in which
part or the whole of their forces can
participate. One of the most popular
and beneficial of those systems, from
the viewpoint of the employers and the
employees, is to assemble the forces
and sing songs and hear short address
es delivered on general subjects by
store executives or others. A daily
use of that system, according to one
store manager who has had the system
in practice for considerable time, is
2 TO infuse greater enthusiasm among
its employees for their work and to
inculcate a spirit Of cooperation be-
tween the employer and his employees

quantity Of fresh air is spoiled and
rendered foul by the act of breathing.
A man spoils not less than a gallon
every minute. In eight hours breath
ing a full-grown man spoils as much
fresh air as seventeen three-bushel
sacks could hold. If he were shut up
in a room seven feet broad, seven feet
long and seven feet high, the doors
and windows fitting so tightly that no
air could pass through, he would die
poisoned by his own breath, in very
few hours; in twenty-four hours he
would have spoiled all the air con-

ERROR COMMITTED By MANY
Grave Mistake to Leave Business
Position in a General Cloud OF
Unpleasant Feeling.

The man or woman Of small am
bftion and smaller achievement feels
that it is his privilege and pleasure
always to leave position he is quit
ting In a cloud of unpleasant feel
ing. SO long as he remains in his
position he puts up with unpleasant
ness, stiles his dislikes for the men
over him and does his best to grin
and bear things. When he realizes
that he can take his destiny in his
own hands, and ask to have his name
stricken off the pay roll, he takes
Intense satisfaction in airing his preju-
dices and showing every one in the
place just how he feels about things
He undoes in a day all that he has
gained in the months or years that he
has worked there.
The man Or woman with ambition
knows that the world of business is a
small place. Merely from a selfish
point Of view 1t is essential to main
tain pleasant relations even with those
who, you feel, have treated you IN
justly. If you have put up with their
Ill treatment while working for them
surely you ought to be more willing to
do so when you have the inner salts
faction of knowing that you are going.
In fact, you can stretch a point and
forgive and forget old rancors. 1t may
be, you know, that in another shuttle
up you will be placed in a position
where one of the persons for whom
you have the most spite will be placed
in position where his friendship will
mean great deal to you. So do the
well-bred thing. which is to stihe your
own petty animosities and exercise
your self-control to the extent of
leaving the old place with handshake
ll-round.-ExcharSge
