In the annals of the world's unknown heroes none better deserves a place than a nameless Swede. lie was employed on a railroad up in northwestern Canada, far away from civilization and Carnegie hero medals and silver loving cups. One day this man was ordered ta take three large packages of dynamite down th line. He took a "speeder" the small handcar used to convey employees from one station to another. Soon came the climax. A long passenger train, which had been delayed in starting, was almost upon him. Now Any one who has handled dynamite for years, as this mau had, knows very well what will happen to a swiftly moving train when it hits three big packages of that explosive. What should he do abandon the machine and dynamite and save his life or get rid of the dynamite and save the train and the passengers? He decided. Tutting away all thoughts of his own safety, he began to unload the dynamite and put it out of all reach of the train. He threw off the first package, the second, the third and then The steam of the roaring engine enveloped him. He tried to save himself, but Too late! Just as he got one foot on the ground the engine struck him, threw him from the track, and when they picked up his body they found a mangled mass in overalls, a man without friends or relatives, whose name was unknown, btitA hero! Said the engineer who helped to put the poor remains into the baggage car: "It's one of them stupid Swedes. They've got as much sense as a chair. Probably wanted to save some vegetables he had there and expected the train to wait!" And the passengers who crowded curiously around the body had no hint of the horrible death from which they had been saved by "the stupid Swede." But Somewhere in the place where no mistakes are made and the right cm. its aro always given the heroism of the humble Swede must be recorded. The Siege of Lisbon. When Lisbon was besieged by the Spanish iu the iifteenth century such Portuguese as were captured were maimed. Their eyes were put out, their noses, lips or ears were cut off, their fingers amputated, and in this miserable plight they were sent back into the city with the announcement that when It was taken all the defenders would be similarly treated. Prepare yourself for a healthy, happy Xmas, clean your stomach, liver and bowels, make them fresh and active, able to do their full duty, then you'll be well and happy.

A Demand For Good Roads. The Indianapolis Sun suggests the following legislative program for the consideration of the Indiana General Assembly, which meets next month: "We submit that the members of the legislature will do well to follow the advice of Mr. Ralston and Mr. Taggart and Mr. Korbly and Gov. Marshall on questions of legislation. And if they do this they will put their hands and seals to the following propositions: "1. A public utilities cornmiss on with power to fix rates, determine capitalization of new companies and regulate the quality of service. "2. Reform of the primary el ction law to provide for primaries, under operation of the law, for the election of delegates to all conventions held by the party. "3. Creation of a state highway commission with power at least to supervise, through its engineers, tic construction and maintenance of public highways. "4. Calling of a constitutional convention. "5. Enactment of a workman's compensation law or steps leading to the enactment of such a law. "6. Enactment of a blue sky law designed to prevent the sale of fake stocks and bonds. "7. Establishment of a state school for orphans. "8. Minor amendment to the rregistration and corrupt practices act. "9. Enactment of an inheritance tax law." All these suggestions are excellent and the Palladium desires to emphasize the necessity of one reform for which there is general demand a complete revision of the road laws. The laws now on the statute books relating to the construction and maintenance of highways are about a century behind the times. If the legislature adjourns without having given its attention to this important question the lawmakers, when they return to their homes, will find some highly displeased constituencies. Business men and farmers of , ayne and Fayette counties held a meeting Saturday at Cambridge C y and notice was then and there served on all political parties that they would be expected to get together and wipe out the archaic road laws. Th ee legislators from the two counties, one a Progressive, one a Republican and one a Democrat, have promised to give their support to any measure which provides that highways shall be built and kept up under expert supervision. If the other counties in the state can exact similar pledges from their representatives in the legislature relief from present deplorable road conditions is assured.

Sinks and Backaches.

At last some master mind has solved the age old question as to what makes women complain of backaches after their daily ten or twelve hours' work in the kitchen has been completed, leaving them nothing to do but dust off the furniture, wash the windows and mend the clothing of the family. The reason for feminine backaches is so simple that one wonders why he has been so stupid not to have thought of it. It appears those blooming sink manufacturers have been building kitchen sinks so low that all women who must 'wash dishes, have to suffer three backaches per day. For once the plumber escapes the blame. Arthur P. Kellogy writing in the Survey on the subject of the recent discovery of the cure for backaches awards the honor to Madge D. Headley. Mr. Kellogg says: The housing reform movement gathered momentum and published great things for some twenty years, under the direction of men and of women who had help in their kitchens. By that time, 1912, the men who had started it no longer made inspections (only speeches) and turned over the field work to women. One woman, Madge D. Headley. saw that the sink of the model tenement in the country is as low as ths ancestral sink of the nineteenth, over which she had leaned and ached. So Miss Headley went to a manufacturer of sinks. "Why are sinks made so low that they give women backaches three times a day?" she asked him. "I'm blessed if I know," he confessed. Thereupon he set out to find the reason. Tracked back to its beginning, the length of sink legs appears to have been set for a good reason and continued for none. The old wooden sinks were built in the days when dishwashing and such tasks were done in wooden tubs and buckets with high sides, so that a low sink was comfortable to work over. Moreover, it was before the time of the running water, the tubs and buckets were heavy, and the lower the sink the less the lift. When faucets and shallow vessels came in the sink still scrooched down by the floor. By the time he had 'figured all this out, the sink man was so interested that he designed a new sink, a sort of sink on stilts, or a daddy-long-legs of a sink, and in no time at all now it will be on the market. All of which is to the everlasting credit of Miss Headley.

ihis is My 58. h Birthday REAR ADMIRAL KNIGHT. Rear Admiral Austin KI. Knight, who is in command of the United States cruisers Tennessee and Montana, which have been sent to Constantinople to protect American citizens, whose lives may be imperilled by the warfare in that vicinity, was born in Ware, Mass., Dec. 16, 1854. He graduated from the Annapolis acadtmy at the age of nineteen and rose through the successive grades in the naval service until he attained his present rank of rear admiral in January of last year. In his mapy years of active service Admiral Knight has visited nearly all parts of the - world. During the war with Spain he was engaged in Blockade duty on the coast of Cuba. Later he served on various important naval boards. He is regarded as one of the best authorities in the navy on the subject of explosives.

Moral Don't Be a Goat. The goat while out browsing thoughtlessly stopped and rubbed his headin the way that goats have against the side of the house of the wolf. Out rushed the tenant and fiercely upbraided the hairy butter. "But I'm quite sure." said the latter, "that I've done your house no harm. Besides, I saw the elephant stop here only yesterday and scratch his back against your dwelling in a way that almost overturned it. And you didn't say a word to him. Why should there be any difference in your treatment of us?" The wolf lic ked his chops. "There is a marked difference." he said, "even if it is only a simple one. I can eat a goat, but I can't eat an elephant." Whereupon he fell to and made a quick and satisfying meal of the unhappy creature.

CORAL REEFS.

They Cannot Form In the Line of a Fresh Water Flow. Coral reefs surround many of the islands in the Pacific. They protect the lowlands from the washing of the waves, and the still waters inclosed by them are the only harbors of refuge for ships. The reefs themselves fur-

To understand this we must see now , these reefs are formed. Chemically the reef corals are almost pure carbonate of lime, the substance of ordinary limestone and marble. The ! reef grows as the shell of the oyster I or of any other shellfish grows. It is itself the common and undivided shell of innumerable polypi, or minute insects, which are being reproduced and are dying in successive generations, j These tiny beings get all their living from the waters of the sea. It is from , this source also that they derive the ! salts of lime from which they secrete the bony structure that remains after the animal is dead. The coral polypi cannot live in fresh water. Their food supply is brought to them by the waves and currents of the sea. As a result, it is found that directly opposite the mouth of a stream from the island the reef does not grow. . There will be the inlet to the inclosed ; waters. Harper's Weekly. j Gold Filled.
