WERE MARVELS IN CHILDHOOD

Those Whom the World Has Recognized as Men of Genius Remarkable for Precocity. One character common to genius and to Insanity, especially moral Insanity, Is precocity. Cesare Lombroso. professor of legal medicine, University of Turin, relates that Dante, when nine years of age, wrote a sonnet to Beatrice; Tasso wrote verses at ten. Pascal and Comte were greaifi thinkers at the ages of thirteen, Fornier at fifteen, Niebuhr at seven, Jonathan Edwards at twelve, Michel Angelo at nineteen, Gassendi, the Little Doctor, at four, Bossut at twelve, and Voltaire at thirteen. Pico de la Mirandola knew Latin, Greek, Hebrew, Chaldean and' Arabic, In his childhood; Goethe wrote a story in seven languages when he was scarcely ten; Wieland knew Latin at seven, meditated an epic poem at thirteen, and at sixteen published his poem, “Die Vollkommenste Welt.” Schiller was only nineteen when he wrote “Rauber.” Victor Hugo composed “Irtamene” at fifteen. Pope wrote his ode to solitude at twelve, and Byron published verses at eighteen. Moore translated “Anacreon” at thirteen. Meyerbeer at five played excellently on the piano. Claude Joseph Vernet drew very well at four, and at twenty was a celebrated painter. At thirteen Wren invented an astronomical Instrument, and offered it to his father with a Latin dedication. Raphael was famous at fourteen. Beethoven composed three sonatas at thirteen. Elchorn, Mozart and Eybler gave concerts at six. Weber was only thirteen when his first opera, “Das Waldmarchen,” was presented. Bacon conceived the “Novum Organum” at fifteen. Charles XII manifested his great designs at eighteen.

RIDICULOUS FAD OF FASHION

Description of Head-Dress Worn by Women Some Centuries Ago Appears Almost Incredible. Fashion plays constant pranks with a woman’s hair. Addison says in the Spectator of 1718: “There Is not so variable a thing in nature as a lady’s head-dress; within my memory I have known it to rise and fall above 30 degrees.” In the reign of Henry VI, ladies wore horns, having on each side ears so large that when they would pass through the door of a room it was necessary to turn sideways and stoop. It was judged necessary to enlarge tbe doors of the Chateau d£ Vincennes. The correct angle for the hair was 45 from perpendicular, which entailed great strain upon the hall growing from the forehead. Little thought of what we call cleanliness or even decency was present at the hairdressing of that day. Not only was the hair left untouched for a most revoltlngly long time, but materials were used In the dressing of the hair and making the rolls (as Anna Green Winslow related), which were most Incredible. The Boston Gazette of May, 1771. tells of a young woman driving In Boston streets who thrown from her carriage and her high tower partly torn off. It proved to be stuffed with yarn, tow, wool, curled hair, and even hay. i

Solidified Alcohol.

Solidified alcohol has proved one of the most convenient forms of fuel, and is largely made use of at the present time for many purposes. There are many forms of cookers making use of this fuel, and the latest device of this character ft sterilizing apparatus to be made use of by doctors and nurses. The sterilizer consists of two containers, one to accommodate the instruments to be treated and the other for the gauze, bandages and similar material. A small quantity of water in the lower chamber is heated by the flame from the alcohol and the steam therefrom passes around the instruments, thoroughly cleansing them and then passing to the upper chamber, where it has the same effect on the contents of that compartment. The same principle is made use of in tfre construction of a food kettle for the use of aeronauts. The food is packed in the interior of the kettle and a small alcohol burner stowed away in the bottom is ignited and the heat from It will keep the food hot for several hours.

Explaining Knockout Blow.

When the lower jaw is struck on its point, especially with an uppercut, the bony portion of the ear inside is driven forcibly upward into the glenoid cavity of the skull, above and be hind which is situated the delicate labyrinth of the inner ear. The jawbone strikes hard upon the thin plate of bone that supports these sensitive organs and gives a shock to the semi-circular canals that is instantly transmitted by them to the bulb, producing dizziness, nausea and momentary paralysis. This explains why a sideways blow on the jaw is more effective as a knockout than one delivered directly upon the point of the jaw. For the shock of ft sideways blow is received in one glenoid cavity,'? that on the side opposite the one on which it is struck, while the shock of a blow in the center is divided between the cavities on the two sides.

MERELY GIVEN LONG NAMES

Decoctions Prescribed by- High-Priced Physicians Made From Familiar Wayside Herbs. Many of the secrets hidden under the thatch of the wattle and daub cottages can be found in the pharmacopeia of either the allopathlst or the homeopathist, observes the London Daily Express. Willow ten Is but a crude form of the salycllates which have long been recognized as the orthodox antl-urlc acid and anti-pyretic remedies. Common mallow, called "pickcheeses” by children, provides a tasteless mucilaginous liquid, ' which is worked up In various shapes and given for coughs. The leaves of the colt’sfoot, horehound and balm are all used, in liquid form mostly, for coughs and chest affections. Foxglove cordial Is given to old people suffering from palpitation of the heart, and does as much good as when It is called “tine, digitalis.” Camomile and dandelion broths or teas are sold as tonics by the wise women who would be at a loss to Say what was meant by Anthemis nobllis or Taraxacum. Beautiful comfrew is used, both plant and root, as a poultice for cancerous and other growths, and a broth is made from it for kidney affections. This has obtained official recognition under the name of Symphitum officinale. The “cure” for measles is saffron tea. This is prepared by pouring boiling water on the dried stigmas of the purple autumn crocus. An infusion of flixweed cleanses and heals wounds. Self heal has cured quinsy; sage has many valuable qualities.

FIRST KNOWN USE OF CIGARS

Mentioned by Name In Book Published in 1740, but Were Smoked Before That Time. The earliest known mention of cigars is in a book published In 1740 under the title of “Distresses and Adventures of John Cbckburn.” It appears that Cockburn was cast on a desert Island in the Bay of Honduras, from which he swam to the mainland, and thence traveled afoot to Porto Bello, a distance of 2,600 miles. Here he met some friars who gave him some “seegars” to smoke. “These,” he says, “are some leaves of tobacco rolled up in some manner that serves both as pipe and the tobacco Itself.” Though this is the earliest date at which cigars appear to be mentioned by that name, so far back as 1498 two soldiers sent by Columbus to explore Cuba told their companions on their return how the natives carried in their mouths a lighted firebrand made from the leaves of a certain ierb, rolled up in maize leaves. The iescriptlon of an Indian method of imoklng given by Lionel Wafer, In ils “Travels In the Isthmus of Darien,” In 1699, shows that they then smoked cigars made just as we make them pow. The manufacture ind consumption of cigars In northern Europe only dates from the close of tbe seventeenth century.

Music and Thinking:

About 1000 A. D. a monk in an Italian monastery had been thinking about the long, laborious task of training singers for the church service. Ten years were required for a singer to memorise words and music of the various chants and hymns used! There was no system for learning a new tune Independent of the words. And while he was thinking he heard his choirboys practicing one of their lessons, a hymn that rose in pitch with the first syllable of each successive line, just as the scale series was formed. Thought flashed! And the result of his thinking was the use of the syllables ut (changed to do later), re, mi, fa, soj, la, si to facilitate scale learning. The immediate result was that Guido’s choirboys learned al I their tunes —and could take pew ones —in six months as against ten years in the old way. And the indirect result is that boys and girls in the schools of this country learn the scales by a process similar to that thought out by a monk in Italy nearly 1,000 years ago.

Aegean Islands.

The Aegean Islands are Thasos, In the extreme north, off the Macedonian coast; Samothrace, Imbros, and Lemnos, near the Dardanelles; Eubaea, the largest of all, lying close along the east coast of the Greek peninsula; the northern Sporades, including Sklathose, Skopelos, and Skyros, near Euboea ; Lesbos, Ohlos, Samos, and the large group of other Sporades, such as Rhodes, Cos, and Patmos, adjacent to the coast of Asia Minor; and, finally, the large group, the Cyclades, extending southward from Euboea toward Crete and including Andros, Delos, Naxos, Paros and Melos.—Literary Digest.

Military Correspondence.

“Why did you reject Col. Ruffersbyl” “Too much military efficiency.” "How was that?” “His last letter to me started off something like this: ‘From Col. Puffersby, To Miss Gloria Piffle. Subject, Love.’”—Birmingham Age-Her-ald.

What Doughboy’s Mother Thinks of Lassies of Salvation Army Overseas

What the American doughboy,, the 'overseas service man especially, hlnks of the Salvation Army and its work in the war zone is as an oft-told tale, wherever America’s youngest veterans get together. But here is what a Yank’s mother thinks of the ‘Army’’ and its splendid overseas record and in writing of it she quotes from letters received from her son in France. She’s a typical Michigan mother is Mrs. William Hoffman, 151 Stewart avenue, Jackson, although her story is typical of the same expressions that have come from Indiana mothers, especially since the announcement of the Salvation Army Home Service Fund drive for 000 during this week. Mrs. Hoffman’s letter is quoted from the Jackson, Mich. "News’’ as follows: “To the Salvation Army and whom else this may Concern which should be All Humanity: I just want to express my heartfelt thanks to the Salvation Army. Although I am not a member of any religious organization it is my duty as a mother who has a son in the war to ten you what he has said to me in several of his letters. In one, written since the signing of the armistice, he says: “ 'Ma, last evening 1 listened to a .sermon by a Salvation Army ma-n who had just been away from the good old U. S. A. nineteen days. It sure was good. He told me what the folks back home were doing and it sure does make a fellow feel good. Guess I grew a foot listening to him. « in one of the papers I noticed that the Salvation Army is trying to raise a fund of $13,000,000 to finance itself for home service. If ever there was a deserving organization, it’s this one. In our last big drive the Salvation Army lassies were with us, scarcely taking time to eat and if their canteens were with or without sup. piles there was always that ever welcome smile and that ever needed thread and needle.*
