TREACHEROUS PAVEMEflTS CAUSE FALLS
E. G. Vaughan Injured in a Fall on Icy Walk-Other Accidents. Edward C. Vaughan, 39 North Tenth etreet, ia confined to his home as a reault of a fall Sunday morning, lie stepped on the ice coated pavement in front of bis home, and fell, breaking rib. It wii found necessary, owing to hie advanced age, to use a plaster cast to properly treat the injury. Marie Rockhill, 925 North Tenth Street slipped on the sidewalk in front of the high school building on North Ninth street yesterday morning. her head striking the building and rendering her unconscious. She was carried Into the high school building and a physician called to attend to the deep gash In her left temple and finally succeeded in restoring her to conscibusness. At her home today she reported to be suffering much from the effects of the fall, but physicians state that the Injury is not serious. A well dressed man, of advanced ge, whose name could not be ascertained fell on the pavement on Ft. Wayne avenue this morning and broke bis right leg. lie was picked up by an automobile which was rapidly driven away. No trace of the man has since been found. Before anyone could come to his assistance, tho automobile appeared, and stopped beaide the victim of the accident. The chauffeur alighted and assisted the injured man to the rear seat of the large marbiue and drove rapidly toward Main street. Hiatary of the Sardine. The sardine has been honored with a history, the writer being no less a personage than a member of the & chelate Academique of Nautes. The sardine In the early daye was brought in In small boats. Then came u police 'ordinance In 1738 in Ibe Interest of the poorer classes against the monopolist. Owing to the police ordinance the sardine wns a source of livelihood to the Bretons. Joseph Cillln. whose name Is atlll revered In Nantes, first prepared the tlsh with oil. II in venture was a great success, and he hnd many Imitators. In 1835 there was something like a crisis In the sardine Industry. Millet, who was the chief curer, had his factory Indicted as a nuisance, but the difficulty was overcome by removing it from the center of , the town to the shore. Although the fame of the sardine was firmly established, it was only In 1855 that It received its apotheosis. Then It was shown In the Paris exhibition. London Globs. Semething to Shew. "Do yon mean to tell me." demanded Mr. 811 liens angrily, "that yon actually ordered $10 worth of groceries of a to- . tal strsuger at prices less than any wholesale dealer ran buy them and paid for them In advance V" "Yes. that's what I said." replied his better half. "And you hadn't sense enough to see that it was a barefaced swindle!" roared Sllllcus. "Well, your money gone now, and you hare nothing to show for it." "Why. yes. I have. John." said bis wife.

M There is nothing the matter with my skin, and I thought Cuticura Soap was only for skin troubles." True, it is for skin troubles, but its great mission is to f re vent skin troubles. For more than a generation its delicate emollient and prophylactic properties have rendered it the standard for this purpose, while its extreme purity and refreshing fragrance give to it all the advan tages of the best of toilet soaps. It is also invaluable in keeping the hands soft and white, the hair live and glossy, and the scalp free from dandruff and irritation. While its first cost is a few cents more than that of ordinary toilet soaps, it is prepared with such care and of such materials, that it wears to a wafer, often outlasting several cakes of other soap, and making its use, in practice, most economical. Cuticura Soap is sold by druggists and dealers everywhere, but the truth of these claims may be demonstrated without cost by sending to "Cuticura,"' Dept.

Mrs. Grace Porterfield Polk, in Sons ARE GOODJIGHTERS But Uncle Sam Hasn't Many Quaker Soldiers. "All Quakers make good fighters when they get down to it," said Corporal William Hern, head of the local United States Army recruiting sta tion,, in telling why men arc well fitted Wayne county for service in Uncle Sam's army. A potent factor in accounting for the hucccsh that several local men are now making in the army, according to the corporal, is that Wayne county people are full of ambition, and are always happy. This meuns much in the army, says Hern, for optimism alone can pull a soldier through many of his trials. .Members of the society of Friends, although considered essentially peace lovers, are Hern's first choice for soldiers. He account b for this by the fact that the strict moral discipline of Quakers makes it easier for them to obey orders, the most important requirement of a recruit. However, Uncle Sam has not many Quaker warriors. The physical tests given here have proven to Corporal Hern that Richmond men are under weight. They are as a rule, much better educated than soldiers coining from other parts of the country, and also have good eye sight, and muscles. STORIES OF ROSSINI. His Dread of Thirteen and Friday and a Coincidence. Rossini had scant patience with amateur composers. One such once accompanied the manuscript of his VUest composition with a Stilton vheesc. of which he knew ltopsini to lie fond. He hoped of course to have h letter praLslug bis work. A letter came, but all It said was: "Thanks. 1 like the cheese very much." When Rossini was rehearsing, one of his operas in a small theater in Italy he noticed that the born was out cf tune. "Who Is that playing the horn In such an unholy way 7" be demanded. "It Is I," said a tremulous voice. "Ah, it is you, is it? Well, go right home." It was his own father. Rossini's whimsicality extended even to his birthday. Having been born on Feb. 20, in leap year, he had of course a birthday only ouce in fonr years, and when he was seventy-two he facetiously Invited his friends to celebrate his eighteenth birthday. All his life he hud a dread of the number thirteen, us well as of Fridays. He never would Invite more than twelve to dinner, and once when he had fourteen he made sure of an understudy who would, at a moment's notice, have been ready to come should one guest have missed. And. though this was a double superstition, be died on Friday, Nov. 13. New York Sun. An Unforeseen Calamity. In his own mind Abel Saunders was a man marked out by destiny for misfortune; in the minds of his neighbors It was a wonder that such a shiftless man got on as Well as Abel did. When be appeared at tbe door of the resident who had ordered a dozen eggs the night before be unfolded a much rumpled paper and took from It four era. "ThatB all there Is left o' what started with," he said lugubriously. "If t had been anybody but me they'd ve got here all tight. But tbe four little holes that was in the bottom o the bag I saw 'em. but there want any one of 'em half big enough for an egg to come through If tbey didn't all join together when I was most over here! If I hadn't re been as spry as a man like me has to learn to be 1 couldn't have saved ye a single eggl" Youth's Companion. Qavs the Tiger His Arm. The late Sir Edward Bradford was a great figure in British official life, especially in the Indian service. Sir Kdward was a splendid huntsman. Although possessing only one arm, be rode a most spirited horse. Tbe occasion on which be lost his left arm furnishes an example of his presence of mind and the cool bravery which were his characteristic traits. He was out tiger shooting in the jungle when knocked down by a tiger. Instead of straggling with tbe animal, he permitted It to maal bis arm so as to M one of his party shoot It.

In reference to uir currents and the reasons why the wind blows the astronomer royal of England explains that air consists of gaseous particles, all trying to get away from one another, and that under certain conditions tbey can be compelled to come (rioser together by contraction or forced to fly further apart by expansion. A quart bottle, for example, holds twentytwo grains of air at the temperature of 70 degrees. If the bottle be cooled by surrounding it with ice the air inside contracts. When this occurs more air rushes in through the bottle's neck. The quart of air now weighs more than twenty-two grains. If the bottle be heated the air it contains expands, its tiny particles fly further asunder, and many of them escape from tbe bottle altogether. There is still a quart of air. but it weighs much less than the original twenty-two grains. Now. consider the earth and tbe sea uuder the influence of varying degrees of the sun's beat Where the heat is greatest the nir is made lighter and expands. Where the beat is least the air is unexpanded and heavy. Both tbe iiot and tbe cold air have weight, but the cold, being the heavier, is drawn more effectively down to the ground. In doing so it drives the lighter air up out of its way, just as a lump of lead dropped into a pail of water forces some of the water upward. If the earth were equally warm at every part and continued at a constant temperature wind could not exist. It "blows" because of heat and gravitation. In other words, air moves from the place where its weight or pressure is most toward the place where its weight or pressure is least. PRINTERS.

WOMAN IS BITTEN BY HER PET DOG A woman living on the West Side, whose name is withheld by the attending physician was bitten on the hand Thursday by a pet dog. The animal had been kept chained during the epidemic of rabies and it is not known whether it had contracted the disease. The head of the dog, which subsequently died, was sent to Indianapolis for an examination, and the results will be known in a few days. The woman w as bitten through the hand, the dog's fangs badly lacerating the member. Officer Vogelsong killed a dog thought to be rabid, after an exciting chase near the home of this woman several weeks ago, and It is though possible the affected animal might have bitten the woman's pet at this time.
