WILHELM WIEN. Professor Wllheltn Wlen, who received the award for physics In the recent distribution of the Nobel Prizes, was born In Germany, January 13, 1864. He received a liberal education, studying at the Universities of Gottingen, Heidelberg and Berlin, and supplementing this by extensive travel. For the past twelve years Professor Wlen has held the chair of physics at the University of Murzburg. His writings on hydro-dynamics, electricity and the Rontgen rays have made his name a familiar one to men of science the world over. Congratulations to: Prince Arthur of Connaught, son of Governor-General of Canada, 29 years old today. Baron Balfour of Burleigh, well known British statesman, 63 years old today. .

' Analysis ef Laughter. For the benefit of a melancholy world an English professor has been SBVOttng his careful, scientific attenon to laughter and has prepared an expert analysis of the whole business, according to the Providence Journal. "Laughter," ho nays, "la a convulsive action of the diaphragm. In this state the person draws a full breath and throws It out In Interrupted, short and audible cachlnnatlons. This convulsion of the diaphragm Is the principal part of the physical manifestation of laughter, but there are several accessories, especially the sharp vocal utterance arising from the violent tension of the larynx and the expression of the features, this being a more intense form of the smUe. In extreme rasas the eyes are moistened by the effusion from the lachrymal glands." Philadelphia Ledger.

Walnuts as Peed. The ancients, held the walnut in high esteem. Mortals could and did exist on acorns, but walnuts were so delirious la taste and flavor, so palatable and nutritious, that they were revered as food only for the gods to dine upon. Modern Investigation and modern customs have popularised the uses of the walnut to such an extent that It Is sow regarded not only as a luxury, but a a food of great nutritive value. A chemical analysis of the nut shows that It Is six times as nutritious as meat No vegetable or fruit, with the possible exception of the olive, can be compared with the walnut as a strength giving and fat producing food. All nuts are possessed of elements of nutrition, but the highest In rank is the walnut. Manchester Guardian.

The offendftg roots were untwisted and cat sway, and the drooping plant revived. The tree eventually died ..Then on digging down at a

The Postal Graft.

Twenty-five years ago a report of the postmaster general of the United States was smothered. This man was William F. Vilas. The Postmaster General called attention to the fact that If this country wished It could own the cars In which its mail was transported for the amount the country paid In rental for one year! The government at that time was paying 11,881,580 for the rent of mail cars which could be built for 81,600,000 while the appropriation proposed was for 82,000,000!

Postmaster General Vilas said in his report: "Instead then, of appropriating 82,000.000 to rent the use of these cars for the coming year, why should not the appropriation be made for a smaller sum to buy them, and of another say 8250,000 for their keeping, the two together not aggregating the proposed rent? The department will thereafter gain at least 81,500,000 per year while sustaining the cost of casualties." . The Vilas report was brought up by Chairman Henry Clay Evans of the House Committee on post roads and post offices but there was not a man on his committee who would vote in favor of such an obvious betterment of the public policy.

Six years ago on his entrance to the United States senate, Robert M. Im. Follette fresh from his experience with the efficient regulation of the railroads in Wisconsin dug up the Vilas report. The government had continued the policy of paying the railroads enough car rental every year to buy the cars outright. La Follette asked an investigation by the interstate commerce commission but the senate of the United States would not listen to such a preposterous thing and adjourned. The next year a similar resolution died in committee. But the next year he did succeed. . The interstate commerce commission was instructed to investigate. Now La Follette has the material to back up the perfectly simple request which Postmaster Generad Vilas made years and years ago but which has been smothered and suppressed by railroad lobbyists sitting in the seats of congressmen.

Good Reason

For Demanding the Original Remedy, Newbro's Herpicide. If you knew it, you would not willingly accept counterfeit money. Infetead, you would probably raise a disturbance and seek some means of redress. Why then accept a preparation said to be "just as good as Newbro's Herpicide?" You know it is a counterfeit,

an imitation of the real thine. You

want the original dandruff germ de

stroyer, Herpicide, and you can get it, too, if you insist. Redress is always possible in such an instance. The most effective method is to trade where you get what you ask for and no suggestions offered. With the death of' the dandruff germ the hair stops falling and is permitted to resume its natural growth and beauty. Such results follow the use of Newbro's Herpicide. It stops itching of the scalp almost instantly. A counterfeit article is never "just as good." Herpicide is sold and guaranteed by all druggists. Applications may be obtained at all good" barber shops and hair dressers. Send 10c in postage for sample and booklet on the care of the hair to The Herpicide Co., Dept. R., Detroit. Mich. A. G. Luken & Co., Special Agents.

This is what the interstate commerce commission has found and it is the information on which La Follette is basing his demand for the public ownership of railway mail cars: A wooden mall car costs $8,000. A steel mail car costs 810,500. The cost of maintainance is$l,225 a year. The government is now paying for the rental of the wooden and steel cars 84,229 apiece! The railroads have made the cars now in use last about 25 years. If this is the rate and if there were no addition in the number of cars whjch Is most unlikely the slightest figuring will show a present of $75, 000,000 which the United States government is handing to the railways of this country every twenty-five years.

One can see reasons why lobbyists wo-rked hard to smother the Vilas report a quarter of a century ago. Perhaps it is strange that no succeeding post office official has been so frank about the matter. Frank Hitchcock has had much to say about the twin policies of "economy" and "efficiency" but he has said nothing of this sort. Mr. Hitchcock has delayed the transmission of the mails in at least two distinct ways. 1. By sending perishable news matter by freight. 2. By cutting down the force and efficiency of the mail clerks. Ascribing to "efficiency" the overworking of the mail clerks and reducing their pay he has broken down the morale of the service so that there Is no Incentive for the entrance of first class men into the service. Efficiency means the smooth and perfect working of a department. A year ago this "efficiency" led to a strike of the railway mail clerks in Minnesota. It has forced the clerks into a desire to join the federation of labor. And. whether that be good or bad from the standpoint of the government service it at the present time is the only way in which an employe of the post office department may air a grievance of this overwork without being thereby dismissed from the service. It makes no difference whether the grievances of the men are false or just at this moment no man in the post office employ can appeal even to a congressman of the United States In order to better the condition of the service without permission from the department.

It is this situation which makes those who know even these meager facts concerning the conduct of the post office business of the country wonder. Shall the post office continue to be a sinecure for the railroads and the express companies? Shall it continue to be a means of reward for politician and particularly In one-half the United States a means of self perpetuation for any man who occupies the presidential chair? Shall it continue to be run in obvious iniquity for the railroads, "economy" made an excuse for punishing the free-speaking magazines and newspapers of this country?

After ten years' controversy, it has

been decided in France that the indus

try of gathering old corks and making use of them a second time Is not detrimental to public health.

Good Reason. "Judge," said the caller, "I wish you'd tell me what ,1 have to do to get my name changed." "What is your present name?" "Bennet Lemuel Zebulon Bubb." "You wish to have 'Bubb changed to something else?" "No; I want a new one entirely, something like William Thompson or George Jones something short and easy, you know." "Your objection to your name, then, is that it is too long. I presume. Why can't you just use your initials?" "That only makes It worse, judge. Whenever I give my name as B. L. Z. Bubb somebody snickers." Chicago Tribune.

AN ARCTIC DELICACY. Eskimo Soup Would Hardly Tickle Refined Palates. Kane and Dr. Hayes, the first white men apart from an occasional whaler to Tisit the Eskimos, found some difficulty in accommodating themselves to local customs. In "The Toll of the Arctic Seas- D. M. Edwards quotes Hayes' account of hts first visit to a native hut. After a cordial welcome he was pressed to eat. "This," says Hayes, "was an Invitation which I feared, but now that it had come I knew that it would be unwise to decline it. The expression of thanks was one of the few in their langnage that I knew, and I made the most of this. They laughed heartily whenT said koyenak in reply to their invitntion, and immediately a not very beautiful yeung damsel poured some of the contents of the pots into a skin dish, and, efter sipping it to make sure, as I supposed, that it was not too hot, passed it to me over a group of heads. At first my courage forsook me. but all eyes were fixed upon me, and it would have been highly impolite to shrink. I therefore shut my eyes, held my nose, swallowed the dose and retired. I was told afterward that it was their greatest delicacy a soup made by boiling together blood, oil and seal intestines."

HE FINALLY GOT WARM. A Writer's Indoor Experience on a Cold Night In Bordeaux. What beautiful sunshine we had at Bordeaux, and bow nice and warm it was in the daytime! As long as the un kept out it was lovely; but. oh. when the sun went down! They gave gave me a beautiful, large, lofty room at the hotel with doors and windows all over it. After dinner 1 went up to try to write, and then I found that Siberia had come again. I put great logs of wood upon the fire and blew them with the bellows til) the flames roared up the chimney, but still I shivered in the icy blasts that blew through every crevice. I put ou my ulster, I dragged the blankets from the bed. I ran races around the room and practiced the Indian clubs with a heavy portmanteau in each hand, but still I felt my blood congealing, and the horrors of the early morning came back again. In this dilemma my companion's Sudan experiences stood us in good stead. He was with Gordon in the expedition of 1S7G-7. He took our walking sticks and umbrellas, and with these and the blankets and the rugs he rigged up a nice, comfortable tent in front of the Ore. Sitting in this tent iu our big room we at last got warm, aud my fingers were able to hold a pen. George R Sims in "Dagouet Abroad."
