Entranced by Strain# of Magical Calliope That herald <>f the circus, the calliope, imide It# first public a|»penrance In July, INTO, screeching "Old Dun Tucker" down the Worcester A Nashua railroad. A contemporary account describes the effect as “magical, nuy wonderful, envlitng ami nmuslng. Men left their workshops and rushed for the railway. Women and children swarmed like ants when their anthill Is trodden on, ngrln with wonder and delight. The horses danced .pirouettes to the music; the very pigs relaxed the tension of their tortuous tails, and Stupid calves , , . snuffed the music-laden air, their pendant tails outstanding straight behind. "’Twas marvelous and we should not have been surprised If all the bending woods, charmed by the Orphic strains, had walked adown the shaded hills and made obeisance to the Calliope . . even as Blrnnni wood came down to bunslmine!" Great French Soldier Knelt Long at Altar One day In France when thousands of guns were roaring, an American mimed Evans went Into an old church to examine It. As he stood there with bared head, satisfying his respectful curiosity, a gray man with the stars of a general on the collar of his shabby uniform entered the church. Only an orderly accompanied him; no glittering staff of officers—just an orderly. The American soldier paid little attention to him at first, but was curious to see him kneel In the church praying. The minutes passed until three-quarters of an hour had gone before the man arose from his knees. Then Evans followed him down the street and was surprised to see soldiers salute the man in great excitement. while women and children stopped In their tracks with awe-inspired faces. It was Foch. Among Hi* Souvenir* Donald Mae Fiddle, a famous Scotch musician, had many admirers In flits country. On one con cert tour he hail just arrived in New York and was walking from his room to the theater. A young woman admirer who recognized him determined to procure some souvenir of the great man. It was raining, and from beneath her nice new silk umbrella she called to him. Mae Fiddle stopjied and gazed at her from beneath his old cotton umbrella, green with age. “oh, Mr. MaeFiddle,’’ the woman said, "if you would only give me some light remembrance nf yourself —no matter how smallI" The great man surveyed her keenly, glanced once at his old umbrella, then in a burst of words, said: “Certainly, my dear young lady. I shall he delighted. We will exchange umbrellas.”—Pathfinder magazine.

Druggists a* Opticians In these days of optometrists, oculists and opticians, it Is Interesting to recall that not so many years ago eyes were cured for by druggists, as is evidenced by sn ad Jonathan Day ran in the Onondaga Standard; "The subscriber keeps constantly on hand for sale, a complete assortment of concave and convex spectacles, on steel and silver mountings. Goggles and magnifyI;>g glasses. He can remedy any defect In sight by age. Spectacle eyes set on moderate terms. “At the sign of the Mortar and Spectacles."—Detroit News. Pretty Flower Become* Pest Once a cherished flower, now a pest that Is destroying thousands of acres of valuable pasture land, the little lantana plant Is the object of attack in Hawaii. Lantana, known in the United States as a pretty flower, was brought to Hawaii many years ago by some nature lover, just who Is not definlte- ; ly known, and Immediately began I to spread. It grows thickly at ali titudes from sea level to 1,500 or ! 2.000 feet, and several large Hawaiian ranches are heavy losers In I grazing land. Silver Leaf Healing Silver leaf has been found to he s superior substitute for salves and 1 tinctures in the treatment of cuts, wounds mid burns, as demonstrated by many experiments at the hospital of the Vienna university. The silver leaf is simply laid on the wound and Its effect Is greatly to accelerate the healing process. Not only does it rapidly dry up the wound, but it apparently exerts a bacterial action, as a result of which Infections and other complications can be avoided. “She” I Obviously some of the old sayings do not apply any more. Take the one, “why is a ship called she?” I for which the answer used to be, | “because it takes so much rigging.” I What would be further from the 1 truth In this age of scant attire? When the question was recently propounded to a college coed she replied promptly: “Because they are so hard to I master.” Guam’s Forest Acres On the Island of Guam, the largest and most thickly populated of the Marianas, there are about 6,400 acres of forest. A tree known as Ifil, hard and heavy at the center, Is the most Important wood on the island. It makes very sturdy fur- | niture, and is beautiful when kept I highly polished.

Jan. 14 (UP)— Every motorist has fumed at the automatic traffic signal which makes him stop and wait at an In tersection when his eyesight tells him that there is no cross-traffic. A new type of traffic control apparatus, which it is claimed has the ability actually to regulate traffic according to whether the cross street is "clear" or has approaching traffic has been designed by the Crouse-Hinds company here. It is called a “trafllator” and re-; lies mainly upon a detector In the form of highly-sensitized magnetic; coils, which are placed under the surface of the street, concealed from view.
