A KNOCK IS A BOOST: — Every protest from newspapers and lawyers of the class-conscious east is a boost for Louis Brandeis. The division of sentiment over the Boston lawyer reveals sharply the line of demarcation between the masses on the one hand and the classes on the other. It has been a practice amounting to almost a fad for presidents of the United States to promote corporation lawyers to the supreme court bench —lawyers who have to their credit some distinctive achievement in corporation jurisprudence. Men who have stood ‘close to the people have had no chance. The people's interests, apparently, did not enter into the cogitations of the executive who possessed the appointive power. This tempest of disavowal, coming as it does from the clarions of Big Business, emphasizes anew the necessity of popular selection applied as well to the judiciary as to the “American house of lords,” otherwise the United States senate. If the people were allowed a voice, the selection of Louis lijendeis would be well nigh unanimous.—Rushville Jacksonian. Boost a little for old Adams county this year and see if it doesn’t pay you good returns. If the men of this community would just go together and say they were going to make things hum this year it would. The speeches of President Wilson have the ring that every American likes. He is not seeking a ftgh* with any country, in fact he will do everything within his power to p'revent it, but he does it tn a manly and American way that shows to the world that he is not afraid. His tour of the middle west has done much to clear the atmosphere. [ DOINGS IN SOCIETY I t nntnrnnnnnrtTi'ntfflKtmttgtttmMrtH WEEK’S SOCIAL CALENDAR. Thursday. Bachelor Maids — Miss Mayme Deininger.

The supper was followed by a short social hour, after which the lodge convened in regular session.

0 Unconquerable. The habit of never being whipped, lof always keeping up the fight—that is k the quality of the great leader. The ' man who never admits defeat is the man the world has to take into account. Time and again the foes he is lighting may think they have him 1 down. But before they know it he is 1 on his feet sounding the advance. Such , a man molds events. He helps create 1 the new heavens and the new earth j of the prophet's vision. A mighty lorce of the universe is the unconquerable soul! Narrow Teaching. Those who teach morality, limiting ’ Its obligations to duties toward family or country, teach you a more or 1 less narrow egoism and lead you to ’ what is evil for others and for them--1 selves. Country and family are like two circles drawn within a greater circle which contains them both; like two steps of a ladder without which you could not climb any higher, but upon which it- is forbidden you to stay your feet.—Mazzini. Passing of Youth. To me the passing of youth was escaping from torment of passion, strife and trouble into a placid content. My griefs and joys grew less violent. I ceased hunting those who had wronged me, and, in lesser degree, grew calmer in my attachments. Undisturbed ( by passions I found I could think more clearly, be more liberal and un- , derstand better. —American Magazine. I

What Makes White Spots on Nails. It is now thought that the white spots which frequently appear on finger nails are due to the presence of gas in the substance of the nail. They occur much more frequently during youth and in women, and are usually found in persons of nervous type. There is no remedy for them and no means of prevention except the avoidance of injury to the nails. First Safety Matches. Safety matches did not come into use until 1852, when a Swede by the name of J. E. Lundstrom started to make these matches at Jonkoping, although his process had been patented eight years previously by another Swede, G. E. Pasch, who, however, never put into practical use his invention. Knocking the Magazines. The esteemed correspondent of the World who complains of the everlasting and of the sign painting on magazine covers, neglects to say what he thinks of the same old stuff that has been running inside for years and years.—New York World. Land Always in Motion. We are apt to think of the sea as something that is constantly shifting and the land as something quite stable. In reality the land is always moving, and science now believes that quite possibly it is moving even faster than the surface of the ocean. Poor Old Bald Head. “Look, mamma,” said little Edna, as a man with a bald head and full beard entered the room. “There's a man whose hair has all growed down through his face." Perfection of Manners. To be always thinking about your manners is not the way to make them good; the very perfection of manners is not to think about yourself.— Whately. Chief Woods Used for Boxes. White pine and yellow pine are the woods most used for boxes, and each contributes more than 1,000,000,000 feet to the box industry annually. While You’re Making Plana. Do not allow the making of plans for tomorrow to interfere with doing what you planned yesterday to do today.—Youth’s Companion. Generally an Easy Matter. Even if we have had no love for the distant deceased relative we can often put up a strenuous fight to get a bit of his property. Fortunate Countries. The lands most free from earthquake convulsions are Africa, Australia, Russia, Siberia, Scandinavia and Canada. London’s Milk Supply. No less than 60,000,000 gallons of milk are received in London by rail every year, the output of at least 120,000 cows. Varying Wind Pressures. The wind pressure on wires strung on poles is estimated at half of that on flat plates of equal area. Few Women Die Suddenly. It is said that only one woman Is liable to sudden death to every eight . men. Nature Generous to Swallow. 1 1 The swallow has a larger mouth in proportion to its size than any other . bird. - -

“Hair of the Dog." When a man is debilitated from the effects of the previous night s debauch he is frequently counseled to take "a hair of the dog that bit him, the meaning being that he should take a little of the same kind of liquor that had upset him. The saying is a remnant of an old superstitious belief that the burnt hair of a dog was an antidote against the ill effects of intoxication. Merely a Hint. Evelyn had been instructed by her mother not to ask anyone for a penny. A week ago Evelyn was visiting her aunt, and as her aunt opened her purse to take a nickel to use in tho telephone Evelyn, shyly glancing in the purse and seeing one lone penny, remarked that she thought pennies were such a nuisance In a big lady's purse. Daily Thought. The cure of heartache is to be found in occupations which take us away from our petty self-regardings. our self-pityings, our morbid breedings, and which connect our life with other lives and with other affairs, or merge our Individual interest in the larger whole. —C. C. Ames. Wise Habit of Silence. Give not thy tongue too great a liberty, lest it take thee prisoner. A word unspoken is, like the sword in the scabbard, thine; if vented, thy sword is in another's hand. If thou desire to be held wise, be so wise as

to hold thy tongue.—Francis Quarles. Lawyers’ Ability. , It seems that'a lawyer is something ' of a carpenter. He can file a bill, split , a hair, chop logic, dovetail an argu- ! ment, make an entry, get up a case, frame an indictment, empanel a jury, ' put them In a box, bore a court, chisel a client, and other like things. How Far One Can Hear Cannon. The sound of cannonading carries much farther than that of thunder. ' The limit of the carrying power of ' thunder is about fifteen miles, while 1 twice that number of miles is not considered any great distance for the sounds of battle to travel. Historic Precedent Husband —“I wish you'd stop this everlasting cackling about my expenditures.” Wise —“No, I shan’t. Cackling saved the capital of Rome and I’m going to see if I can't save your capital that way.” — Boston Transcript. Very True. The Phrenologist—“ Yes, sir, by feeling the bumps on your head I can tell you exactly what sort of a man you are.” Mr. Dolan —“Oi belave it wud give ye more av an oidea wot sort av a whimmen me woife Is." Couldn’t See the Wisdom. Little Jack was found in the pantry covered with jam. His father said, “I think, my boy, you would better go and show yourself to mother.” With a roguish look Jack replied, “No, daddy, I think I betterent.” Vulgarity. Vulgarity has a positive imperishable charm. It is sham nobility that is revolting. And sham nobility is the disease of our heroes and heroines in . serious drama or fiction. —John Oliver , Hobbes. i Appropriately Named. Os course the morning-glory derives its name from the fact that it blooms only in the morning, and the “four- . o’clocks,” because they close at that hour in the afternoon. I Enemy of the Snake. Snakes in South Africa fear the secretary bird, and will even crawl away i from his shado'w. This bird devours , snakes and can easily kill a reptile ’ twice its size. Almanacs of the Past. Almanacs are in existence that were , compiled in the eleventh century, but j they are in manuscript; the first printed almanac was issued about the year 1475. Wisdom Not a Man’s Gift. I can ennoble a thousand men in a . single day; but I am not powerful L enough in a thousand years to make a single wise man.—Kaiser Sigismund. Machine That Matches Colors. t The matching of colors has been [ brought down to an exact science by . the invention of a machine for the purpose. Valuable Space of Land. , The total value of the city of Lon- ► don’s square mile is placed at about $1,250,000,000. Wood Made From Straw. j Artificial wood for matches is being t made from straw by an inventive Frenchman. Cosmopolitan New York. II No city produces newspapers in so ri pi any different languages as Naw 1 York.
