An Ancient Crime.

Perhaps you are.horrified at the disclosure in Chicago' that bandits, working ~with skilled surgeons are robbing men of certain glands in their bodies which transplanted are 'believed to insure youth to old men -says the South Bend News Times. - That any discovery of means of per: petual youth by science would be followed by some plan to commercialize the human body was to be expected. 'The protest against the purchase of human flesh by an aging multimillionaire headed for the altar with an international Dbeauty' was quite faint. ; . Now, with Chicago off to a fair lead men of vigor and youth are being kidnapped put under ' a surgeon's knife and their youth stolen from them by men who have money and are trying to prolong their own lives.

As a matter of fact the crime is ’()ne of the oldest in the world appearing now in a new form. : Congress has tried fory ears to pass law which would prevent the stealing of youthful vigor from children condemned by poverty an dthe ignorance of parents ' to work in factory ior ‘mills. ' ~ -+ .That law, representing public -opinion upon this matter has been set aside by courts and the children, defenseless and vyoteless are still a matter of commercial exploitation, unprotected by any law, The result of sending a boy or girl of twelve to work .in one of the spinning ‘mills of the south eor coal mines of Pennsylvania §s exactly the same - as the effect upon the victims of the new banditry. : They lose their youth their vigor their. chance of living to the normal expectation “of life. e The same thing happens to congested cities where whole families are crowded into single rooms and where foul air and lack of sanitation. breaks down strength and vitality. It happens again when boys are seduced into the purchase of bootleg. liquor and girls -led into - healtly wrecking costumes through the edicts’ of fashion. i Stealing youth has been the oldest practice in the world. It has been stolen through ‘ ignorance, through greed, through debauchery, Now it simply changes form and is’ stolen by ‘the surgeon who tries to supply his rich and powerful patient with the strength of youthful victims. : . Science and knowledge bring new things to the world. But they usually have very old ambitions and ‘purposes as their incentive. : !

Charged to Defective Wiring. A'large bank barn on the farm of Jacob Burtsfield west of New Paris, was totally destroyed by fire believed to have been started by defective wiring. Over 30 tons of hay and a few implements were also consumed the entire loss being estimated 'at between $4,000 and $5,000. _

TOO PRONE TO EXAGGERATE

Many Figures of Speech Employed In Ordinary Conversation Are Rie - diculous When Analyzed.

A judge in the courts the other day objected to a witness who was prone to use exaggeration and employ figures of speech, : : The judge remarked that it was absurd to say that .\"‘the accused was beside himself with rage” and that “he flew at the other man.” He wasn’t two people ‘and he hadni’t got wings, : . When you come to think of it it is absurd. We wallop our children for saying that there are hundreds of dogs in the garden, but then they hear us say that we are “drivengto death” with work, or that somebedy has “set the ocean on fire.” & Equally untrue is it when we\say that a steak is as “tough as leather,” the coffee “as cold as ice,” or that the cake is “as heavy as lead.” One result of this sort of thing is seen when the child asks his sister’s young man if he hds any prizes for running, because the child has heard that he’s always ‘running after” Sissie. The fact is that we are ever looking for something out of the ordinary. 47 L When hailstones fell during June, they were in a few cases the size of eggs but evarybody told everybody else that all of them were as big as footballs. ; It’s time that we went back to simple description. No day is ever so hot as to be “baking,” or we should all be dead. No man drinks “like a fish.” - Fishes, anyway, don’t drink a lot. They.see so much water that they’re probably sick of it. And no soprano sings “like a nightingale.—Buffalo Express. : :

CALLS FOR SOME DISCRETION

Power of Attracting Birds May Be All Right In the Country, but in : the Cityl . :

One of the best ways of attracting birds, according to the authorities, is to place the lips to the back of the nand and make a violent kissing sound. : o Apparently this has some resemblance to the cries of a wounded bird; and, according to one of the bird books, onle may enter an apparently deserted thicket and, after a few minutes of this sort of thing, “find oneself surrounded by an anxious or curious group of its feathered inhabitants.” - This is valuable information, but to be:used with discretion. In Central park, for instance, one is just as likely a 8 not, after trying this little ornithological experiment, to find oneself surrounded by an anxious or curious group of gentlemen with-blue coats and brass buttons. Better keep these tactics for the open country.—Frederick L. Allen, in Harper’s Magazine.

Medicine Men.

In all times some degree of healing power has been ascribed to the priesthood. Medicine-men, mystery-men, shamans, or by whatever name they might be called, were to be found in every tribe of North American Indians. Some: of these knew the medicinal qualities of roots and herbs and practiced rude surgery, and others were “fakers.” A medicine-man of the Walapal, a Yuman tribe on the Colorado river, says John G. Bourke in an article on the Apache medicine-men, would cast a bullet in a mold containing a small piece of paper. The healer would have an Indian fire this bullet at him and the lead, because of the paper, would split into pieces and do him no harm. ' ; Another would secretly fasten the end of a roll of sinew to a twig, swallow the ball and hold the twig between his teeth. After the sinew had softened and expanded “because of the heat and moisture of the stomach” the magician would astound his friends.— Adventure Magazine,

Geography of Planet Venus.

Venus appears to be a mountainous world. Gray shadings may be seen at times in the midst of high pressure areas. Their positions and outlines change with the shifting clouds, but when a composite drawing is' made of several observations they appear fixed to the surface of the planet. From the fact that the ‘darkest ones are also the most often visible, it is inferred that the gray spots are the masses of continents dimly visible. : ‘The behavior of Venus' storms also confirms this belief. They actually shun the regions where dark shadings are seen, and mainly keep to the spaces between. Storms on earth find it notoriously hard to cross divides of land. The Venusian seas seem to be hot and steaming, and from their surfaces rolling clouds of vapors arise. - Venus shows phases like the moon. She lies between us and the sun,_and 8o a portion-of her night side is almost always turned toward us. ;

Who First Licked Stampe?

Dispute is being waged as to the earliest postage stamp licker) Claim is put forward for James Chalmers of Arbroath, Scotland, who submitted specimens of adhesive postage stamps to a select committee of the house of commons in 1834. Rowland Hill Is also credited with the invention, having experimented with glutinous washes in 1837. As Rowland Hill directed the British postal arrange. meénts, he was probably the first man to lick a genuine postoffice stamp,
