J >iWHAT ACCESSORIES WILL DO —— • Have a Very Great’and Definite Value In the Scheme of Things, According to Writer. i “We can only live once, and the i more we live the better,” wrote Filson j Young, English novelist, "and I find ) upon examination that the passion for ) accessories is only an expression of a > passion for life. ’ “Not to follow up those engaging by- ' ways of temptation is to miss a gn at ( deal of agreeable and accidental infor- , mation and knowledge of the kind that ) makes life full and interesting. ) “You can press the button of your > camera and send your films to bo <le- ■’ veloped and remain unenlightened, > but if you equip yourself with half its ' accessories, photography will lead you J far into the sciences of physics and ; chemistry. j “If you have a horse and some one I to look after him, you need not 1 occupy yourself very much about his • needs; but if you have this interest in 1 accessories and take a pleasure in J thinking not how little, but how much, : you can do toward making your horse's ' stable a kind of shrine, it will not , only bring you nearer to him and 1 make you understand him better, but 1 it will make you understand a great 1 many other things, such as the rota--1 tion of crops and the working of 1 leather. J “In short, accessories are the cir- ! cumference of the circle of which the 1 thing itself is the center; they are 1 leads and links which take us out from ourselves (and at our own expense) in- ; to the surrounding life of the world." PLANTS WITH SNAKE FANGS 1 Many Are Capable of Inflicting Wounds as Fatal as Are Those of Deadly Reptiles. Plants that secrete poison when touched and inflict a wound almost as dangerous as a rattlesnake bite are one of the features of some tropical jungles. The most common of these poison plants is the Jatropha urens, known in Panama and other parts of Central America as the “ortiga brava” (the cruel nettle). This plant is easily recognized and is instinctively shunned by the native animals. Trunks, leaves, flowers and fruit of the plant are covered with stinging hairs, which are in effect long tubes that are very brittle and break at the lightest touch. The poison is produced by a cell which, during growth, swells up, forming a goblet-shaped bulb set into the surrounding tissue. When the hair is touched it breaks in an oblique direction, forming a cannula which enters the skin, and the poison is discharged directly into the wound, the action being much like that of the poison fang of a snake. The sting of this planj is painful in the extreme, but seMom fatal. Many other tropical plants have such deadly stinging hairs that the poison is sufficient to kill a man, even in small doses.—Popular Mechanics. Dissipation. I think sometimes that our common definition of dissipation is far too narrow. We confine it to crude excesses , in the use of intoxicating liquor or the crude gratification of the passions; but often these are only the outward symbol of a more subtle disorder. The things of the world—a thousand clamoring interests, desires, possessions —have got the better of us. Men b?come drunken with the inordinate desire for owning things, and dissolute ' with ambition for political office. I . knew a man once, a farmer, who debauched himself upon land; fed his appe-tite upon the happiness of his , home, cheated his children of education, and himself went shabby, bookless, joyless, comfortless, that he might buy more land. I call that dissipation, too! —From “Hempfielcl,” by David Grayson, in the American 1 Magazine. Best Hour for Work. > It is a curious fact in psychology 1 that nobody can stay at the same mental and physical level for twentyfour hours together. In the morning 1 you are more matter of fact, for instance, than later in the day. It is in the morning that the best brain work ’ is done, too —brain work of the sort that requires industry and clear thinking. And it is about eleven in the morning that our body .reaches its highest point of energy. In other words, you are stronger, though almost imperceptibly, at eleven in the morning than at three in the afternoon. You reach the highest point twice in the day, for about five in the • afternoon the muscular energy has , risen again. But from five onward it ( declines steadily all through the eve- . ning, and on till between two and three a. m. Biblical Tribute. ’ Exceptions in the cases of such Semitic nations as the Jews, Bedouins 1 and Edomites it is difficult if not im--3 possible to trace any connection be- • tween the world nations of today and those mentioned in the Scriptures. The Bible is in great part a history of the family of Abraham and of one rather contracted corner of the earth, and nowhere professes to instruct in details of ethnological or any other sci- : ence except thnt of theology. The j d world has generally agreed to derive I d the black races from Noah's son , Ham, the Mongolians from Shem, and Caucasians from Japhet, and beyond that (even in that all are not agreed) i it is not wise nor is it helpful to push ' 3 serious mvestieatinn

LEAHN FACTS OF HEREDITY Spread of Scientific Knowledge Hae Shown That Many Wrong Ideas Have Been Held. It has been well said that ghosts and haunted houses decrease in frequency In a definite inverse ratio to the Increase of our means of lighting. No self-respecting ghost will live in a house lighted with electricity, in which the person who should receive the ghostly visitant with due awe can just lean quietly out of bed, touch a button and flash the whole room full of light. The candle-lighted dwelling was the favorite ghostly haunt. The same is true of the specter of the heredity of disease. The more light is thrown on the subject the less sig niflcance heredity has. This is confirmed by a recent care ful study in detail of the spread of tuberculosis in five counties in Minnesota made by an expert for the state department of health. Tuberculosis Is proved once more by this study, as shown in the current public health reports, to be an Infectious and not a hereditary disease. Only those catch the disease who are mudh exposed to it, and then only when both patient and those near him are careless about the infection. There is no reason for the dread of inheriting it, and no good reason for fearing its contagion if even a few reasonable precautions are taken. WHEN AN ICEBERG COLLAPSES Event Always Source of Great Danger to Craft That May Be in the Immediate Vicinity. One of the main dangers in the proximity of an iceberg is Its unknown extent beneath the water. It is told that the passengers of a steamboat on the Newfoundland coast successfully importuned the captain to approach an iceberg for a close inspection, says a writer in the Wide World. While still apparently sufficiently distant for safety some movement in the water or natural decay acted upon the berg, and it ♦plit apart. Instantly it began to readjust its balance. The tremendous masses beneath the water steadily rose as the pieces swung over, and one wide extending ledge came up beneath the boat. “What shall we do now?” inquired a tourist. “Get down on your knees,” was the terse reply of the captain. But the great wave from the tumbling Ice swept down on the boat and washed it to safety. The collapse of an iceberg spreads danger to great distances. It may be too far distant to threaten a craft itself, but the wave it raises will swamp the largest boat in the immediate neighborhood. Ycur Own Home. William L. Price in "The House of the Democrat,” gave us a description of his ideal dwelling in words so genial and simple, and full of such picturesque feeling, that they seem a fitting preface to an article on the planning of a home. “The rooms,” he said, "shall be ample and low; widewindowed, deep-seated, spacious, cool by reason of shadows in summer, warmed by the ruddy glow of firesides in winter; open to wistful summer airs, tight closed against the wintry blasts; a house, a home, a shrine.” One cannot but wish that every homebuilder and architect would learn these words by heart, and hold them as a constant reminder—for in that one prophetic sentence seems to be condensed the very spirit of home. The atmosphere of comfort and restfulness cannot be attained, however, without much wise and thoughtful planning. Its roots are in the practical, the seemingly commonplace—which, rightly treated, results in lasting homelike charm. —The Crattsmau. Gauge for Measuring Sootfall. The Pittsburgher who resents the timeworn variations of the soft coal smoke gibes now has his chance to prove that they are unjustified, or remain forever silent. By a new invention it is at present possible to measure the sootfall of any city as accurately as its rain or snowfall may be measured. Already this soot gauge, tried out in England, has proved what the tourist long suspected, that London, with all its yellow fog, has far purer air than the North of England factory cities of Birmingham, Manchester and the like. Not only have Pittsburgh and other slandered American cities the opportunity to whiten their sooted reputations, but. the manufacturer, too, may now establish accurately the exact proportion of bis contribution to 1 the civic soot; for the new device judges the quality as well as the amount of sootfall, and is quite capable ' of distinguishing between the factory, furnace and kitchen range.—Literary Digest. Awaited Orders to Surrender. During the disastrous war which the little republic of Paraguay waged for five years against the combined ' forces of Brazil, Argentina and Uru- ■ guay many heroic feats were performed in honor of the flag. On one oecasjo’i a sergeant Intrusted with the colors remained at his p-ti. though, his comrades all around him were shot down. Finally he also was wounded and captured. When asked by his 1 captors why he had not surrendered before, as he had no possible chance of escape, he calmly replied, "I had no orders to surrender.” With him obedience to orders and not self-preserva- • tion seemed to be the first law of na--1 turo.
