LOvable Listener.

Jemima links Is rather dull;
No epigrams she seeks to Gull
From books or from her inner mind;
She listens and is calm and kind.
She strives not for satiric glee
Nor brilliant shafts of repartee,
Yet, somehow, everybody thinks
A whole lot of Jemima links.

Broken Heart Cause
of Pyorrhea Attacks

According to DR.. Hans Sachs Of
Berlin, one of Germany's most emil
nent dentists, the jolts Of life and
worries loosen teeth and are the real
cause of pyorrhea. Keep your soul In
snug comfort and harmony, he says,
and your teeth will be free of the
modern plague of pyorrhea. Doctor
Sachs has devoted the last ten years
to the study of the influence Of psy-
Geological factors on teeth, says the
Pathfinder Magazine. He believes
that pyorrhea develops most easily in
teeth affected by tartar.
81 have established through series
of tests that under strain of emotion
and worries tartar settles on teeth
much more rapidly than under normal
condition." he claims. Another cause
for pyorrhea is crashing of teeth, es-
pecially when asleep. Psychoanalysts
know that gnashing of the teeth is
only a reaction of the subconscious
mind trying to free itself of burden
some impressions Of daily life. Con-
sequently, here, too, is psychic cause
leading to pyorrhea. Most pyorrhea
patients belong to the Oppressive
type discovered by Freud. Take the
depression away and the pyorrhea will
improve. 1t may sound foolish to lay
men, but there is no doubt that
broken heart may cause pyorrhea and
the subsequent loss of teeth"

No Secular Pleasure
on Puritan Sabbath

Driving on Sunday, even to church,
was considered almost crime In Eng
land by the sterner Puritans in the
Nineteenth century, in view Of which
the announcements that provision for
a parking place has been made in the
building of q new church at South
ampton is particularly interesting.
These Puritans discountenanced all
riding or driving on what the unregen-
crate called the "day of gloom and
darkness; and race that drank its
tea without sugar on that day and
punished a child who gave his pony
an apple on Sunday would certainly
have regarded a parking place as q
quite superf1uous addition to a place
of worship. Some persons outside the
narrow ring of Puritanism also had
scruples on the subject of driving to
church, whence arose one of Bishop
Wilberforce's best hits. This was at
Blenheim, when Palmerston and some
others preferred to drive while Will
berforce joined the walking party. 1t
rained and the carriage overlook the
walkers just as Wilberforce was strug-
Cling with an unruly umbrella. Pal
merston put his head out of the win
dow and quoted derisively:
How blest is he who ne'er consents
By i'll advice to walk.
Wilberforce promptly emerged from
the umbrella with:
Nor stand in sinners ways nor sits
Where men profanely talk.

Happiness in Labor
Great Joy of Life,

1 believe the right question to ask,
respecting all ornament, is simply
this: Was it done with enjoyment
was the carver happy while he was
about It? 1t may be the hardest
work possible, and the harder because
so much pleasure was taken in it;
but it must have been happy, too, or
it will not be living.
We are not sent into the world to
do anything into which we cannot put
our hearts. We have certain work to
do for our bread, and that is to be
done strenuously; other work to do
for our delight, and that is to be done
heartily neither is to be done by halves
and shifts, but with a will; and what
is not worth this effort is not to be
done at all. Perhaps all that we have
to do is meant for nothing more than
an exercise of the heart and of the
will, and is useless in itself; but, at
all events, the little use it has may
we'll be spared if it is not worth put
ting our hands and our strength to-

Marmalade Steeple

In Buckinghamshire, England, re-
Gently they have been making mar
malade at a parish rectory and ap-
plying the proceeds to the building
of a church spire. Will that spire be
known to future generations as "the
marmalade steeple"? That is what
happened across the channel, in
Rouen, France, where, in 1907, the
second tower of the magnificent
Gothic cathedral was finished, the
money for it coming from the sale of
indulgences for eating butter in Lent.
Ever since then the name Tour de
Beurre" (the butter tower) has chung
to it. Similarly, the old First church
at Wethersfeld, Conn.,, has been pop
ularly known as "the church that was
built of onions" because so much of
the money that went into it was de-
rived from the sale Of that vegetable
by the parishioners.

Might of Alexander
Made World Hisfor,

Alexander the Great was one Of the
pivotal figures about which turned the
history of the world! His cOnquests,
extending eastward to the other side
of India, taking in Asia Minor, Egypt,
Palestine, Syria, Mesopotamia, Arabia,
Persia in its sweep, left Greek gar
risons and Greek commanders in ev.
cry city or place of Importance.
Greek became a universal language,
so firmly intrenched that it success
fully resisted the Latin tongue Of the
Romans when they in turn over-ran
much of the world Alexander made
his own, before he sat down to weep
because there were no more worlds
to conquer! The Greek philosophy of
Socrates, Plato and Aristotle, glori-
flying truth and seeking for a guide
to absolute knowledge of the word
that directs the universe became
known everywhere. Thus was bred
the formulative in words of desire
Christianity was designed to meet
the desire of all men, whether they
realized it or not. Thus was spread
the one common language of literature
and science by which Christianity
could express itself, and in which it
could write its Gospels Of a new
Covenant or Testament.

Odd Substitution of
Letters in Language

Readers of Dickens, Thackeray and
of the earlier numbers of Punch were
familiar with a vulgarism that once
crept into the English language-the
pronunciation of 'w'' for "v." 1t was
inherited in the London dialect from
neighboring country dialects of the
Fifteenth century, writer says In
Scribner's Magazine. Henry Machyn,
a merchant tailor of Elizabeth's time,
wrote in his diary "walue" for value,
"woice" for voice, "wagabondes" for
vagabonds, and "voman" for woman.
Noah Webster, in his dissertations on
the English Language" Boston, 1889,
remarked: '"The pronunciation Of W
for is prevailing practice in Eng
land and America: it is particularly
prevalent In Boston and Philadelphia"
He added in a footnote that he never
once heard the pronunciation in Con-
necticut. The practice used to be rid
iculed by an old line that ran: "Weal,
vinegar and wenison make very good
whites, I wow"

Dramas Development

Drama developed more or less in
dependently with the ancient Greeks,
the Hindus of the First century A. D.
and the Chinese, probably from primi-
tive religious festivals and initiative
dances, and especially in the East,
from puppet shows, shadow plays and
pantomimes. The earliest European
drama is the Greek, which, growing
up in connection with the festival of
Dionysus, eliminated in Attica, where
the festival came to be celebrated by
the performance Of a tetralogy, con-
sisting Of one comedy and triology
of serious plays or tragedies celebrat-
ing a connected series of mythic ep-
isodes. In medieval Europe, mystery,
miracle and morality plays, acted in
connection with the church festivals,
preceded the appearance, during the
Renaissance, of the modern drama
which has developed, besides tragedy
and comedy, tragi-comedy, melodrama,
opera, burletta, farce, etc.

Clouuns Long-LiUed

Records prove that most clowns live
to a ripe old age. Dan Rice died in
Long Branch, N. j., in 1892, at the
age of eighty-four. He preserved his
mentality and cheerfulness to the
end. George L. Fox lived to seventy
nine years of age, and appeared pro-
fessionally until he was seventy-five.
Pete Conklin. the Shakespearian
clown, retained his activity, almost to
the day of his death, which came on
his eighty-first birthday. Tony De-
nier died at the ripe old age Of eighty
two. He passed his last days In
penury and poverty in the almshouse
in Kingston, N. Y.-From "Here We

Pat Biblical Quotation

A report published in London that
Kansas regulates by law the size of
sheets in hotel beds has brought
forth rather charming anecdote con-
corning the famous Lord Kelvin.
More than 30 years ago he was en-
gagged in refitting his yacht, Lalla
Rookh, and entrusted the purchase of
bed linen to the wife of a professor
in Edinburgh university. Kelvin
wrote her: "The area for mattresses
Is approximately rectangular, three
feet nine inches by seven feet In
fixing the size of sheet 1 would wish
to avoid an error, which seems to
have originated in the Levant prior
to 725 B. G. (Isaiah $500, second
clause of the verse) and which Is
still deplorably prevalent at sea-"
The verse in question reads:
"For the bed is shorter than man
can stretch himself on it; and the
covering narrower than he can wrap
himself in it."-Christian Science
Monitor.

Three National Capitals

The nations capital was moved
from New York to Philadelphia on
December 1, 1890, for period Of ten
years, ending December 1, 1900, prior
to its removal to Washington. After
the burning of the capitol during the
War of 1872 a strong movement arose
for removing the capital from Wash
ington. In fear of such a result the
local interests formed the Capitol
Hotel company, and erected a building
for government occupancy until the
repairs on the capitol were finish. 1t
was occupied from 1914 to 1919 and
was afterward known as the "Old
Capitol" and was used in the Civil
war as a military prison.

Got His Biz Ballroom,

Melbourne, Australia, has one un-
usual distinction because one of its
ministers Of public works wanted a
spacious ballroom, according to a
story told many years ago by George
Bowen, formerly governor Of Victoria.
Bowen related that when the Victoria
government house was built at Mel
bourne the then minister Of public
works inquired of the architect what
was the largest regal or vice-regal
ballroom in the British empire. The
architect replied that Buckingham
palace held that distinction.
"Then make ours one-third larger"
said the minister grandly. His orders
were carried out.-Sydney Bulletin.

Aluminium, Castings

Aluminium casting alloys are said
to consist most frequently of alumni
mum, zinc and copper in varying pro-
portions. Everything depends on the
purpose for which the casting is to
be used and the qualities that are
desired. In automobile work, cast
ings containing z to 8 per cent of
copper, or Is per cent of zinc and
2 to 8 per cent of copper, are largely
employed. Other metals such as
nickel, iron, manganese, chromium,
magnesium, ETC., are also added to
aluminium for castings.

Beetles Long in Tree

That no appreciable changes have
occurred in a species of wood-boring
beetle in the last 1900 years is indi.
Gated on comparison of live specimens
with dead ones which were recently
found Theoretically sealed In giant
Sequoia tree, says Popular Mechanics
Magazine. The insects apparently
had entered the wood after it had been
struck by lightning. Some failed to
emerge and were imprisoned by the
new growth that formed over the
lightning scar. The time they entered
the tree was computed by counting
the annual rings that had grown out
side of them. Naturalists are not
surprised that the specimens were
the same as those found alive today,
for beetles are regarded as "con-
sentative lot" and 1000 years is not
a long time, geologically speaking.
Species that were sacred to the Egyp-
tians have shown no signs Of change
in thrice that time.

SUGGESTIONS for Soldering

Do not attempt soldering job until
the iron has been properly timed"
otherwise difficulty will be encountered
in trying to make the solder stick to
the iron. See that all wires to be
soldered are perfectly clean, otherwise
the solder will fail to stick properly.
If necessary, clean the parts to be
soldered with fine sand paper. not
emery paper. When making ground
connections to the water pipe, be sure
the pipe is free from dust or corro-
sion and the iron good and hot.

When Glass Is Scratched

Slight scratches on glass may be
partially polished out by rubbing the
part with rouge wet with water upon
a piece of soft leather. If it is a deep
scratch, it will have to be ground out
with the finest flour emery, such as is
used by opticians, and the spot pol
ished with rouge and water upon a
piece of soft leather. If you have
much of this kind of work to do, 1t
will save time to set up buff wheel
of wood, and grind out the scratches
with fine pumice stone and water !;
then polish with felt buff and rouge
with water.

First Street Railways

Boston's first street railway was
opened in 1850, and Philadelphia in
augurated a similar service the follow
ing year. The first street railway in
England was at Birkenhead In 1860.
In the same year a line was laid in
Liverpool, and London's first "train"
dates from 1869. The first street rail.
way in France was from st. Cloud to
Paris and was constructed in 1856.
