HowTo Keep From Growing Old.

•In the course of an interesting nature sermon in the May Woman’s Home Companion, Charles

In ancient times the Karun flowed into the gulf, and part of the river still runs along the old channel, but the main stream has been diverted, three miles above Mohammerah, into an artificial channel known geographically as the Haffar canal. It is impossible even to make a guess at the date of this wonderful work, not even a tradition remaining of the ruler whose farsightedness realized the enormous advantage of joining up the two waterways. Alexander the Great has been suggested, but apparently for no other reason than that he is a convenient and likely person to credit with any ambitious enterprise, and that one of his many Alexandrias was built on the site of the present Mohammerah.—Wide World Magazine.

as we ought to be. We would be happier then we are if our interests were only wider and more varied. We are not enthusiastic over a sufficiently large number of things. If we could only increase the circle of things in which our mind and heart find delight, we should add to our joy and possibly increase the number of our days. We get old too soon. Old age comes on us as soon as we lose interest in the world around us. Nobody gets old who succeeds in keeping up a living interest in a large number of fascinating subjects.”

Fire from Fireless Cooker.

A Banker’s Advice to Young Men.

The fire marshal is grappling with a mystery, introduced into the department by a down state assistant. Under the form question as to the origin of the fire reported the cause as given as “A. fireless cooker.” What the fire marshal would like to know is what sort of a fire could be kindled by an agent obviously “tireless” and the modus operand! thereof.

In the current issue of Farm and Fireside, the national farm paper published at Springfield, Ohio, a banker tells in part as follows why he farms: “I am president of three big banks, and a director in other institutions which require much of my time. Yet I find plenty of time to put in on my farm, and at actual work too. At the age of fifty, and after twenty-five years of banking and connections with various other responsibilities, 1 have no gray hairs to tell tales of worry, and no wrinkles to betray the approach of time. Day after day I have labored over a long column of figures, discussed the money market with my business friends, and attended to other duties in the office in the forenoon, then in the afternoon I have donned a pair of overalls and ridden the plows till sundown. “Whata pity to see ycung men and young women marching to the city to be swallowed up with thousands of other pieces of human machinery as slaves to big business. There is no way of convincing those unfortunate human beings that they afe wrong unlil it is too late. A few months away from the old farm, where they do not hear the cowbells or see the great motion picture of real life as pictured in the hundred and one things about the home, they fall eternal victims to false life, and are forever lost to farm life.

Warning to farmers at this time of the year to beware of lightning is being given Jby the state fire marshal’s department. The spring showers so welcome to the agriculturist, often become electrical storms. Seventy-five per cent of all lightning losses are in the country.

WATCH WITH ONE HAND.

Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Fine of Wallace were the guests Sunday of Mr. and Mrs. M, A, West.

While watches without hands, or with but a single hand, are by no means new, an ingenious watch of the latter class, of French make, is interesting. On a semicircle at the top of the dial plate is a scale graduated to indicate minutes. The lower part of the watch face has a raised plate, and projecting from under it is a wide pointer which passes along the scale of minutes, so as to point to the minute figure, blear the end of the pointer is a large figure indicating the hour, 6 for instance. When the pointer reaches 60 on the minute scale it disappears under the plate and a new marker (7) appears at the zero side of the scale.—Scientific American.

Lightning did less damage in 1914 than perhaps in any recent year in Indiana, owing to the few severe electrical disturbances, and also to the generally increased equipment of buildings with lightning rods. There were only four hundred and forty lightning losses in the state during last year year compared with one thousand and six in the preceding year. Evidence gleaned from investigation by the state fire marshal’s department shows that the lightning rod properly placed is certain protection. Only seven buildings equipped with rods were struck with lightning during 1914. In these seven instances, however, investigation by assistants showed the rods had been up a long time without attention or were not properly grounded In one or two instances lightning entered buildings over telephone wires It is interesting to note that during the year two authorities after investigation reported favorably on the use of the lightning rod. They were Prof. W. H. Day, of the department of physics, Agricultural College. Ontario Canada. and Prof. J. Warren Smith, of the United States weather bureau. Burned to Death in 1914.

AS HE UNDERSTANDS IT.

This “civilized warfare” philosophy is credited to Harve Parsons; “As we understand it, it is against the rules of ‘civilized warfare’ to shoot an enemy with a frazzled bullet, but quite the proper thing to pot him with a stick of dynamite, a kettle full of harness buckles and cracked glass, or chase him through a barbed wire fence. There are other things about ‘civilized warfare’ that are hard to understand.*—Atlanta Constitution.

IN PROFESSIONAL STYLE.

Were mothers and nurses properly watchful of children, the deaths of little ones by fire during 1914 would have been reduced more than fifty per cent. Of twenty children burned fatally during the year, twelve were burned while playing with matches or about hot stoves, according to the lire marshal's report. Adults fatally burned numbered forty-seven. Oi' these fifteen were burned in dwelling or lodging house fires Nine perished as a result of gasoline explosions and six because of kerosene explosions One hundred and twenty eight
