Watching an. elderly man scattering

"a quarter Of century ago many
communities made determined effort
to kill of sparrows. State and county
authorities offered bounties of one

considerable pocket money shooting
the creatures and in places men made
a business of trapping them. They'd
spread great nets over the roofs OF
barns and then rout the birds from
their roosts.
'But it was no use. Organized war

credulochemistry.

OF all the scientific titbits dished
up by our newspaper chefs, none en-
joys more perennial popularity than
the discovery of the 'lost art" Of hard
ening copper. Only rately our fore
most journals were deyoting columns
to the World war veteran who, finding
in an ashcan some leaves of an old en-
cycloped.d dealing with an ancient
metailurgist and his success in hard
ening copper, fell to experimenting On
his own account, with the result that
his process was bought by Judge Gary
for $1,OO0,0O0 in cash plus 2 cents per
pound royalty. A modest and retiring
denial subsequently appeared. For
such newspaper crookery Chemical and
Metallurgical Engineering suggests the
apt name Of eredulochemistry, while
the Engineering and Mining Journal
intimates that the press might vary its
menu by creating unbreakable glass
for milk bottles and petrified wood for
construction purposes. Certainly these
would prove no less digestible than
copper-even hardened copper.-Scien-

Hauahty Stare cowed Leopard.

A planter in Tanganyika Territory,
South Africa, walking along "a foot
path, fell into big game pit in which
a leopard had been trapped. Neither
the beast nor. the man could get out
again, so the planter was ''up against
it, but remembering what he had
heard of the power of the human eye
he fixed the leopard with naughty
stare.
by this means and by making
strange noises, I kept the animal al
bay until a friend appeared and shot
it," he said.
Others who heard of the affair, and
who know the planter very we'll, point
ont that he is lean and slender man
not likely TO attract leopard unless
the latter was indeed hungry to
desperate point.

The Hated profteer.

Everybody hates q profiteer" said
secretary Hoover at Washington
banquet. "and everybody knows where
the profiteer will go to when he dies.
"a millionaire profiteer was carried
off by Indigestion, and his employees
attended the funeral in body. By
the terms Of the will the profiteer was
buried in strange manner. He wore
his newest frock coa, his largest dia-
moni ring and his ccstliest platinum
watch. Furthermore his best cane
was buried with him, and in his mouth
was his newest set of teeth, the set
with the gold, plates.
"T understand all this. business,
said one of the dead profiteers en-
ployees. It's for show. But can't
understand about the false teeth.
What's the sense of it?'
"'The sense Of it, said another en-
ployee, lis easy to see. How would the
boss feel when he got to the weepin'
and wailin' and gnashin' shop if he
hadn't a fine set Of teeth?"

The Rural Appeal.

To be out Of doors is the normal
condition of the natural man. At
some period of our ancestral life, so
dim in our thought but SO po-
tential in our temper, disposition
and physique, we have all lived, so to
speak, in the open air; and although
city-born and city-bred we turn to the
country with an instructive feeling
that we belong there. There are a
few cockneys to whom the sound OF
Bow Bells is sweeter than the note OF
the bluebird, the resonant clarion OF
chanticleer or the far-of bleating OF
sheep; but to the immense majority
of men these noises are like sounds
that were familiar in childhood. l
have sometimes thought that the deep
est charm of the country lies in the
fact that it was the home and play
ground of the childhood Of the race.
and, however long some of US have
been departed from it, it stirs within
us rare memories and associations
which are imperishable. The lowing
Of the cattle coming home at night
fall; the bleating of sheep on the hill
side pastures; the growing of the cock.
are older than any human speech
which now exists. They were ancient
sounds before our Oldest histories were
written. I know Of nothing sweeter
to the man who comes out Of the heat
and noise and dust of the city in mid
ssummer.-H. w. Mabie.

WHY PEOPLE "BREAK DOWN"
Burden as General Thing Was Not
T1o Heavy, but the Load Was
Put or Wrong Place.

People are breaking down in health
all the time. And as the business man,
the housewife and the student fall by
the roadside the public dolefdlly ex-
claims: "The load was too heavy! y
AS matter of fact people break
down. not because the load they are
carrying is too great, for in nine cases
out of ten they could carry more than
they are asked to, but because they
don't know how to get the load on.
DR.. Joel E. Goldthwait writes in the
Designer. They put the pack on IN
the wrong place and then the human
machine is used in such a way that
"a great deal of their energy is re-
quired to overcome what would
mechanically be called friction.
When the nations young men and
women have been taught to use their
bodies correctly and are standing up
straight many of the pr ems facing
the country today will have been
solved. There will be fewer instances
of breakdown in the mill and the
Office and the home. People will carry
their loads easily. The development
Of their bodies will make it possible
for them to know the fullest JOY that
life can give.

KNOW LITTLE ABOUT AMERICA
Traveller Tells Of Odd Beliefs That
Are Prevalent Among Even Well
Educated Europeans.

Austin Stack, minister Of home af-
fairs in the former cabinet Of Eamonn
de Valera, tells Of some of the curious
impressions regarding life in the
United States still prevailing among
Europeans. Among other curious
beliefs is that every one who lives in
America, particularly in the Western
states. must he cowboy. find that
many people hahitually refer to resi-
dents Of the Far West as cowboys in
tiguratire sense, and suppose that
accounts for part Of the notions that
are circulated"
Mr.. Stack recounted story told to
him by a friend from Butte, Mont,
who was entertaining visitor from
Europe. The visitor expected to see
the streets of Butte built and peopled
along the lines shown in the erstwhile
popular western movie, and his EsSt
noticed that he seemed to be con-
stantly on tie lockout for some one
or something.
FINALLY" Nr. Stack said. "the vis-
itor turned to his host and asked !:
But where are all the cowboys?
"'Oh, they are never seen in the
DAYTIME the other replied. They
are very shy. THEY only come out at
nights, like the fairies.
And the visitor believed It, Mr..
Stack claims.

BOYS DON'T WANT THRILLERS
Only Interest the MiGsle-Ased
Man Of Today.

No longer do the tales Of Little
Sure Snot," "Deadwood Dick" and
other old-time terrors of the prairies
interest the youth Of the rising genera
ton, observes the New York World.
This has been demonstrated since the
collection of Beadle's dime novels was
placed in the public library. 1t had
been expected that there would be a
rush of young people to see the old
thrillerS, and at least one society that
takes upon Itself the care and supervi'
sion of public morals was moved to
rise in protest against debauching the
mind of youth. However, In the month
in which these books have been on
show, less than 10 per cent Of the Wis
itors has been under the age Of six
teen.
Attendants keep a tally, and during
the time the Beadle books have been
displayed there have been 1,427 per-
sons in to see them. While the tally as
to ages is not kept, it is the consensus
of attendants that hardly more than
1CO have. been minors. In the neXr
room. however, where the baseball
collection has been displayed, more
than half the visitors are children
During July there were 9,e4S who Wis
tied the display.
The Beadle collection has been at
tractive chiefly to the middle aged.
Men of dignified bearing, often in
pairs. have gone the rounds of the
showcases, chuckling over the titles.
"It's like renewing youth, is fre.

HELPED OUT MOTHER NATURE
Venetian Women went to Some
Pains to Acquire Hair of Tint
Greatly Admired.

Some ungallant bookworm has dug
up scandal that Sappho was bald.
There are not wanting grounds for
the suspicion that Queen Elizabeth S
red wig concealed a nude scalp.
AS for the thrice lovely Mary Queen
Of Scots, she actually wore wig when
she went to have her head cut OFF,
and she left a suspiciously. large col
lection of wigs behind her.
The lovely and naughty Queen Mar
got, wife Of Henry ", kept train
of pages with yellow hair for the re-
plenishment Of her wigs.
How much trouble the Venetian
women took to acquire the reddish
hirsute tint that is admired in the
pictures of Titan may be judged from
this account written by an Italian
chronicler in 1889:
1.-THE houses of Venice are cormon-
" crowned with little constructions
in wood, resembling turret without
a roof. At the base these lodges or
boxes are formed Of masonry and COW
cred with = cement Of sand and lime
to protect them from the rain. 1t is
in these that the Venetian women may
be seen as often as, and indeed often
er than, in their chambers; it is there
that, with their heads exposed TO the
full ardor of the sun, during whole
days they strain every nerve to aug
nient their charms.
Seated there, they keep on wettins
their hair with sponge dipped in
some elixir of youth. They wear on
their heads straw hat without a
crown so that the hair, drawn through
the opening. may be spread upon the
borders; this hat, doing double duty as
q drying line for the hair and para
sol to protect the head and face
And consider the Roman .natrons
who used to blondine their GROWING
glory" with a mess of decomposea
