Tadpoles fed on extract of the thyroid gland develop through the various stages of their metamorphoses late frogs very rapidly, but they do not grow in size; when their own thyroid* are suppressed—by cauterization oi excision—or when they are fed on extracts of the thymus gland they grow to great size, but never develop int* frogs, remaining nothing but giant tad poles all their lives. 0 Violin Superstition*. There is no musical instrument about which cling so many queer notions and superstitions as the violin. One of the strangest is that held j by so many people that the tone of a violin is often improved by its being broken and then mended. It seems ai- i most Incredible, but that very idea 18 believed by thousands of people.

Device Overcome* Sleeplessnee*. No one need suffer from sleeplessness any longer. A device has been Invented which, it is claimed, will ‘ send the worst case of insomnia to ■ the land of nod in a few minutes. ■ The machine, which in appearance is rather complicated,, consists of a number of discs which, when the starting handle is moved, rotate in opposite directions. All that the sufferer has to do is to keep his eyes Ojj the discs as they turn, until after a short spell of watching he gradually sinks Into * sound sleep. o . r tenon Claim to Mont Blanc. i Mont Blanc, the “monarch of mountains,” as Byron called it, is mainly In France, and the ascent is commonly made from Chamonix. Chamonix and Mont Blanc are In the French department of Haute-Savoie. And the fact that most persons believe them to be in Switzerland annoys the French very much Indeed, especially the residents of that region. So there is, a campaign on foot, now to rebapI tize the “department de la HouteSavole” and call it "department du Mont Blanc." — —oAustralia'* Climate. A word should Correct the Impreslion, too prevalent, that Australia is * continent of untempered heat throughout a torrid year. It would be strange If a continent of Australia’s size could not show every variety of climate. In Sydney’s hot months, for | example, a few hours’ journey by train will ta-ce you to the heights of the Blue mountains, where nights that clamor for the warmth of a wood tire temper the hot, dry sunshine of perfect days.—Exchange. I - . 0 Origin of Word “Doll” Obscure. The origin of the word “doll" ’la obscure, but the common explanation frequently given that the word IS an abbreviation of “idoll” or “idol” Is said by the best authorities to be certainly wrong. It is thought probable that the word is derived from Doll or Dolly, diminutives of the woman’s aame, “Dorothy," which In Greek signifies the gift of God; hence the idea »f a gift to a child for a plaything. -o Kid Raising for Glove*. Before the war the peasants of many * little village made a living by raising kid to supply the gloves for which France has long been famous. Th* perfection of the skins is considered by the French manufacturers to be the keynote of the perfect gloves Their method is to have one workman handle the prepared kid from th* time it is brought in until the gloves which are shaped f*em .that kid ar* entirely finished. — ■ To Write Good EngHsh. Tb be able to write good and pure English, one must habitually dwell and sympathize with men and women ! who write English of this character. 1 Any young student who reads and I enjoys Goldsmith, Jane Austen, WaP ter Scott, Macaulay, Froude, Steven- ! son. and other writers of similar rank. 1 will certainly come in time to write good and pure English himself.-— Melklejohn. o Origin of Firework*. It may be assumed that we really owe fireworks to the Florentines and Sienese. They began their feasts of St. John the Baptist and the Assumption with wooden edifices, adorned with painted statues, and from th* mouth and eyes of which Issued ■ beautiful fire. Dragons, swans, eagles, etc., built on such a large scale as t« carry many persons, were also mad* to emit amusing fireworks. _______o ______ Oldtlm* Sleeping Couches.. Th* ancients slept on skins, but later beds were made of rushes, heather and straw. The Romans were i the first to use feathers to make their beds more comfortable. Hellogabalus. 218 B. a, is credited with having employed air cushions, and air bed* were used generally in the Sixteenth cen4 I tury.

Death was caused by heart ailment. j —— o Latin Word* In Our Languag*. The Norman-French people who ■ettled England gave to English•peaktng people thousand words with a few alterations. Then, at the Revival of Learning, a still larger number of Latin words came Into our language. The Latin word facllls became facile; die word natlo appeared as nation; the word opinio as opinion; the verb separatum as separate; and so on with thousands of other words. And, since that time, new Latin words have been coining yearly Into our language and settling there.—From "The Art of Writing English." I Owe Much to Latin Tongue. j The fa-t is our language has been enqrmously ein-iched by the contributions made to It by the Latin tongue. Among oilier tilings it has given us a power of drawing distinctions and of being precise and exact in expressing our thoughts which few other languages possess.—J. M. D. Meiklejohn In “The Art of Writing English." Those Who Are Gone. Those who are gone you have Those who departed loving you lov* you still; and you love them always They are not really gone—those deal hearts and true —they are only gone Into the next room; and you will presently get up and follow them, and yonder door will be closed upon you, and you will be no more seen. —W. M. Thackeray.

WELL FURNISHED HOUSE | Well-furnished houses are not cluttered up with things which | may be useful or attractive in : themselves, but which anybody i j uses or enjoys. They are, rather, those that contain only things necessary for convenience in working, and for comfort and satisfaction in. living, and /io more, A house that is well planned, perfectly convenient and comfortable, will also be beautiful. Beauty does not lie so much in the ornaments put on a thing as in the perfect adaptation of that thing to the use for which it is intended. If a woman tries sincerely to arrange her house according to this idea of adaptation to use, she need not worry about its being “pretty,” say household experts of- the United States department of agriculture. She may not be rich enough to have expensive things, but if she uses harmonious colors for her walls, floors, and upholstery, and chooses furniture for its good design and comfort rather than for its ornamentation, her house can scarely fail to be restful and attractive. And if with limited means she succeeds in making a convenient, comfortable, and attractive home out of an unpromising, inconvenient farmhouse, she has more to be proud of than if, with the help of an expensive decorator, she had achieved good effects in a house equipped with all modern improvements.
