FRANKLIN'S COLD-AIR BATH

Homely Philosopher Was One of the Earliest American Advocates of the Open Window,

The cold bath in the morning is a soclal fetich that makes two clear divisions of mankind—the thoroughly virtuous who do not shrink from the full rigors and the Laodiceans who play with the hot water tap. As a custom it may be peculiarly English, but one hears less of a variation of it that has respectable authority, says the Manchester Guardian.

Benjamin Franklin, while representIng the American colonies in London, wrote in one of his informing letters to a French correspondent that the “shock of cold water hath always appeared to me as too violent, and I have foupd it much more agreeable to my constitution to bathe in another element—l mean cold air. With this view I rise early almost every morning and sit in my chamber, without any clothes on whatever, half an hour or an hour, according to the season, either reading or writing, The practice is not in the least painful, but, on the contrary, agreeable, and if I return to bed afterward, before I dress myself, as it sometimes happens, I make a supplement to my night's rest ‘of one or two hours of the most pleasing sleep that can be imagined.” Franklin was sixty-two at the time. He had stlll to llve twenty-two of the most active years of his extraordinary career, so that !in his case cold-air baths seem to have done no harm. Franklin was before his time fun his belief in fresh air, and he wrote some savage things about the “aerophobia that at present distresses weak minds and makes them choose to be stifled and poisoned rather than leave open the window of a bedchamber or put down the glass of a coach.” ;

FLOWER-POT AS BRIDEGROOM

Unique Ceremony Which Transforms Chinese Girl Into a Full-Fledged and Privileged Widow.

China is still a land of strange customs, one of the most curious being the ceremony of a flower-pot marriage. : i ;

When the man whom a Chinese girl is to~marry dies shortly before the date fixed for the wedding, ithe griefstricken bride-elect sometimes takes a vow never to marry. Should she do so, she goes through thé ceremony of wedding an ordinary flower-pot, She is now considered a widow, and upon the parents of her intended husband falls the responsibility of maintaining her, Usually she goes to live with them. . o ’

. In many cases, especially where the family is poor, great sacrifices are necessary in order that the daughter-in-law (as she is now regarded) may be properly cared for. But the parents have no option in the matter. = And, actually, they have no desire to shirk their responsibilities, for the faithfulness of the “widow” brings - great fonor to the bridegroom’s family, it being considered quite .a disgrace should the bride-elect not wish to go through the ceremony of marrying the flower-pot. : : In the days before China was a republic, the emperor, upon the facts b‘éing brought to his notice, had a handsome : monument erected in commemoration of the *“widow’s” faithfulness. ; ’

Old Krook,

Krook is the name of a rather prominent but most uncanny character in Dickens' novel, “Bleak House,” which has much to do with the then dilatory procedure of the Court of Chancery. The system Dickens describes ceased to exist many years. Krook is the proprietor of a rag and bone warehouse, where everything seems to be bought and nothing sold. He is a grasping drunkard, who eventualiy dies of spentaneous combustion, that Is, he is so .saturated with liquor that he takes fire and is consumed. In a note to this chapter of “Bleak House” Dickens cites a case of spontaneous combustion that ‘took place in Parls;, France, and which, he said, was well verified by medical authority. It was probably from that case that Dickens obtatned the idea which he made use of in describing Krook’s wonderful death. ‘ :

Purpose.

Ambition is more than a wish; it is desire intensified into determined purpose. All that is needed for the accomplishment of our ambitions is a desire so strong that we will sacrifice whatever may stand in the way of our success. | The law of compensation never fails. If we would gain one thing we must give up another. How many people have you known who complain of failure through bad luck, when your own knowledge of them tells you that their downfall came through lack of really trying? They were not willing to torego pleasures or extravagances which interfergd with their success. = :

EQUAL TO ALL EMERGENCIES

Little Thing Like the Running Out of 01l for His Engine Easily Over- ; come by Traveler.

How we all enjoy stories with a resourceful hero! No cornered hero of romance ever showed more ingenuity than Mr. Roy Chapman Angrews showed when, hé ran out of motor oil on the Gobi desert. We quote Mr. Andrews’ exploit' as be narrates it In Natural History : : ' We were returning to Kalgan from Urga, the capital of Mongolia, when we made our discovery. Since the oil had all leaked out of the cans, and we could not go much farther, we were debating what to do. Then as our car swung over the summit of a rise we saw the white tent and the grazing camels of an enormous caravan. Of course Mongols would have mutton fat; why not use that for oil? ~ The caravan leader assured us’ that he had plenty, and in ten minutes a great pot of fat was warming over the fire. We poured it into the motor and proceeded merrily on our way, but there was one serious obstacle to our enjoying that ride. We had had little food for some time and were very hungry, and when the engine began to warm a most tantalizing odor of roast lamb rose from the car. Shortly I imagined that I could even smell mint gauce. - ‘ ' On another occasion when we were without cup grease for the cars Mrs. Andrews sacrificed all the cold cream and vaseline that she had prepared for a summer in; the field. @We also substituted Mongol cheese with good results.—Youth’s Companion.

FIRST AMERICAN GOLD CUINS

What Are Known as Eagles Placed in Circulation in the Year 1792— Bird as a Symbol.

The first American gold colnage of eagles, half-eagles and quarter-eagles, of the value of $lO, $5 and $2.50, respectively, was placed in circulation in 1792. Since that date the United States mints have turned out 117,629,365 double eagles, or $2O gold pieces; 49,611,289 eagles, 74,360,570 half-eagles and 15,580,208 . quarter-eagles. - One and three-dollar gold pieces were formerly coined, but they were discontinued in 1890.

' The first coin called an “eagle was used in Ireland in the Thirteenth century, and was so called from the figure of an eagle impressed upon it, but it was made of base metal. The standard of the eagle was borne by the ancient Persians, and the Romans also carried gold' and silver eagles as ensigns and sometimes represented them with a thunderbolt in their talons.

Charlemagne adopted the doubleheaded eagle as the standard of the holy Roman empire. The eagle was the standard of Napoleon I and Napoleon 111, as well as Austria, Prussia and Russia. : . } . : ———— i

"An Easy Problem. =~ “May She Invite Him Into the House?” asks an advertisement for the Book of Etiquette; and explains the illustration thus: ‘“They have just returned from a dance. It is rather late, but the folks are still up. - Should she invite him into the house or say good night to him at the door? Should he ask permission to go Into the house with her? Should she ask him to call at some other time?’ One answer crowds upon another’s heels, so fast they follow. First, we shouldn’t take seriously the laws of etiquettea laid down by anybody who, speaking of the not-yet-retired parents, says “the folks are still up.” - What. sort of girl has “folks”?‘ Dear, dear! not to say Fie, fle] Second, if it's the kind of dance now current the folks wouldn’t be still up; they'd be up already.’ And as to what she should do, no book ever. published can help her. The questions are all local issues, depending on her and him. Our solution is that she should ask him in to breakfast—New York World.

Starboard and Port. The ancient rule of the road was to keep to the right and drive from the left, because the first animals driven in civilized countries were cattle and the driver, walking beside his oxen, plied his gad with the right hand. Italian sallors made starboard the right ‘side of a ship in their earliest voyages. The term was evolved by the British from “esta borde,” meaning this side, while larboard. came from the helmsman, first probably with gestures of the hand accompanying the call. : \ In heavy weather, and under other adverse conditions, the two terms became confounded frequently in speech. Larboard was dropped and in its place port was employed, for port meant port wine, which is red, and red is the color of the light on that side of the ship. /

G Mystery Explained. | : In Lake Manitoba there is a little island from which issues a mysterious sound. The Indians supposed this islanu to be the home of Manitoba, the speaking god, and from this is derived the name of the lake and the province. The real cause of the sound is the beating of the waves upon the huge pebbles lining the shore, On the northern coast of the island is a long low cliff, composed of fine-grained limestone, which, beneath the stroke of a hammer, rings like steel. The waves breaking at the foot of the cliff:cause the falling limestone fragments te clash one against the other, and the sound thus produced resembles the chiming of distant bells, |

HELD SECRET OF HAPPINESS

John Wesley’s Nearly Ninety Years ' Passed With Remarkably Few ~ Periods of Depression.

There was John Wesley. His “Journal,” with its record of indefatigable labor, 1s one of the cheeriest books in the language. What a rare good time he had! When he was eighty-seven he could say, “I do not remember to have felt lowness of spirits for a quarter of an. hour since I was born.” For more than sixty years this indefatigable pleasure-seeker -had beéen doing as he pleased. Up every day in time to preach at fivd o’clock in the morn: ing; then over the hills or through the pleasant lanes to preach again at the time lazy citizens were ready for breakfast; off again, on horseback, or by chaise or in a lumbering stage coach, for more preaching. . . . Now and then facing a mob, or being wet through in' a thunder storm, or stopping to get information in regard to some old ruin. Between sermons he refreshed his mind with all sorts and conditions of books. On the pleasant road to Chatham he reads Tasso's “Jerusalem Delivered.” On the road to- Aberdeen he loses himself delightedly in the misty sublimities of Osslan. “Orlando Furioso” is good Saturday reading. The eager octogenarian confesses that “Astolpho’s shield and horn and voyage to the moon, the lance that unhorses everyone, the allpenetrating sword, and I know not how many impenetrable helmets and shields” are rather too much for his sober English imagination. Still, they afford an agreeable Interlude in his migsionary journeys. — Samuel MecChord Orothers, in “Among Friends.”

YOUTH NOT GOLDEN SEASON

Modern Writer Takes Issue With Others Who Have Dubbed It the Best . Period of Life.

Following is from “The Way of All Flesh,” by Samuel Butler—not the Seventeenth century poet, but the Nineteenth century novelist:

“To me it seemis that youth is like spring, an overpraised season—delightful if it happen to be a favored one, but in practice very rarely favored and more remarkable, as a general rule, for biting east winds than genial breezes, Autumn is the mellower season, and what we lose in .flowers we more than gain in fruits. Fontelle, at the age of ninety, belng asked what was the happiest time of his life, said he did not know that he had ever been much happier than he then was, but that perhaps his best years had been those when he was between fifty-five and seventy-five, and Dr. Johnson placed the pleasures of old age far higher than those of youth. True, in old age we live under the shadow of death, which, like a sword of Damocles, may- descend at any ‘moment, but we have so long found life to be an affair of being rather frightened tham hurt, that -we have become like the people who live under Vesuvius, and chance it without much misgiving.” '

Fireworks in History.

The business of making fireworks and the business of setting off elaborate displays are sometimes called “the art of pyrotechny,” the word “pyrotechny” being compounded of two Greek words meaning ‘“fire art.” There is an extensive literature on the subjeet. . g References may be found in the writings of Manilius and Vespicus to the fact that fireworks were set off in connection with the circus in ancient Rome, and Claudianus, who wrote in the Fourth century, mentions “whirling wheels and fountains of fire” in connection with the celebration of certain festivals. Firgworks, and which should not be confounded with mere bonfires, were set off as spectacles and ceremonies during the reign of Henry VII, Henry VIII, Elizabeth and other English monarchs. In those early English days dragons spouting fire were a popular form of fireworks. In a book written on the subject in 1648 there is a reference to “trees and fountains of fire sent high up into the air.” ; '

- . Barley Basis of Weight. During the reign of Henry VIII standards of length and weight were established with -actual grains of wheat and barley as a basis. Three barley corns were an inch, and from that was built up our table of inches, feet, ells (yards), perch angd acre. One restriction was that the barley corn must be dry and taken from the middle of the car and laid end to end. Under this same system 30 grains of wheat made a pennyweight, and from that as a basis they worked out the Troy pound in which 12 ounces still make a pound. Originally the sizes of shoes were based upon grains of barley, 'and it is said that these are the same today as in the early days. There were 138 grains of barley to each size. “Furlong” is an old English word meaning “furroWw long” and is based upon the length a furrow would be in a square ten-acre field.

- Protein Foods. . When we eat protein we consume in reality 18 or 20 substances, known as amino acids, each one of which may have quite special functions in nutrition. Some proteins are deficient in certain of these acids which are lacking in the proteins of corn and grain, and for that reason peunuts are am excellent supplement to a cereal diet, swhether in the form of a meal or press cake fed with corn amnd cereal feeds to animals or as a supplement to wheat protein when used with wheat flour, in bread making.
