Algerian Diug That Stimulates the Brain . Kcef Is Hie dried Hower of the hemp ptant chopped up and smoked like tobacco, rolled in u cigni'etle or in the bowl of ii smull pipe. In a different form it Is the basis of the hashlslt sweets rurely seen In Algeria, but very common In ttie Nioir East. The effect of keel' on tbe smoker In to make him practically independent of food and sleep as long us he h under Its ItHluencv, and a habitilal keef taker is easy to detect. His eye* are very bright, his face is pale and drawn, hls arms and hands are terribly thin, his movements are restless. At the same time he is not at all dazed, like one under the influence ot a drug, and though after a few days’ smoking he will drift off into a kind of feverish sleep, during the early periods he is extraordinarily lucid. In fact, it is said that the first effects of keef are to make the brain work [ at three times its normal pace. European tourists in the South occasionally get hold of some keef to smoke nnd complain that it has had no effect nt all beyond giving them n sore throat. This is quite normal, ns tbe fact of smoking a little hemp In a pipe or cigarette will hurt no one If not continued. To feel the effect ot keef one must smoke for at least one night through, and three days are necessary to get really poisoned. The danger ot an experiment of this kind as that the desire to go on may seize one. nnd once keef has taken hold of a man it is rare to see him give it up. However, it is quite amusing to go to a keef-smoking den, all the more so ns It has to be done in secret and with the connivance of a smoker, as no outsiders know where these little nocturnal reunions take place.—From "Algeria From Within’’ by R. V. C. Bodley. Keys of Early Times Not Easy to Handle The possessive and acquisitive in- | stincts in man. which seem Io develop i early and to div hard even among the most advanced of nations, writes Louise Gordon-Stables in the London Daily Telegraph, must have produced in quite primitive stages of humau’evolution some form of lock for the safeguarding of valuables, and capable of being negotiated only by its owner. In Severn! passages in the Old Testament We come across references to such contrivances, as, for instance, in the Song of Solomon, where we read, “My 1 hands dropped with myrrh and my lingers with sweet-smelling niyrcii upon the handles of the lock.” And j that the key proper to the Oriental lock was of great size mid considerable weight is borne out. by the lines; "And the keys of tbe House of David will I lay upon my shoulder.” For these keys, fashioned of wood ami studded nt one end with iron pegs to correspond with boles in the wooden lock, might, in the case of the door of the city or of a public building, I mensure a couple of feet in length and were correspondingly heavy, so that n bunch of them would he carried most easily slung nt one's back, the cord threaded though holes in their other extremity, being held in front. Match’s Origin 'The first friction matches were the invention of M. Derogne, a I'rencliman, and were first used in 1816, but were little used omside of France until 1827, when John Walker (no relative of the famous Johnny Walker of the ante-Volstead days), an English druggist, made the first•renily practical friction matches, which were known as “Congreves,” and within :t few years their use spread all over Europe and America, supplanting the use of dint and steel with tinder box and sulphur tipped splints of wood called spunks which were the common means of obtaining tire until Walker's e invention was popularized. “Keeping Tally” Nov mid then vi.e still hears tin 1 phrase, "Keeping tally,” but it is doubtful if many'of its users know its original meaning. The tally dates back to the time when only "scholars” could read and write. The tally was a notched stick, generally of seasoned I willow or hazel, notched at the edg" to represent the amount of the debt, the amounts being indicated by tbe size and number of the notches. The notch account being made out and agreed upon, tbe tully was split, one piece given to the creditor as an acknowledgment that the money was due, and the other piece retained by the debtor us a record of the exact amount he liad to pay. Rusty Hands Alice, a high-school student, Clime home from school one (ifteiiioon and when she walked in tier bedroom she. fotnid her little sister evidently try-] Ing to conceal the fact that she bad been playing with her big sister’s cosmetics. She hastily picked up the hot- ! tie of luiiid lotion, which she had otten been permitted to use, nnd remarked casually: "1 jnsl thought tlml I would use some of this on my hands, they are so rusty.” Their Work Never Done There are BO men working in Paris who never can hope to get'l heir work done.

I The encyclical apparently has beetr t prompted by the recent olitical disj missions In Great Britain over the i new church of England prayer-book. [ which has revived the movement there for a union of the branches of . the Church of England and the Cath- ) olio church. II The encyclical points out that “the i promoting ot a religious union among t all Christians is equivalent to afflrmt ing that all religions are equally good, 1 thus sapping the foundations of Cath--1 olicism.” >| After saying that "the religion t founded by Christ is the true one, and | has been, through the centuries, pre1 served in the Roman Apostolic Catht olic church,” the encyclical adds, “it i is a mistake of enthusiasts in the > union movement to attempt an agree-
