Sljrn of

world outside cf tills tropical belt how
ever the matter of keeping warm is
ever present troublesome ami expen
sive throughout half of each pasalng
jriar
As a matter of fact the world of hu
manity dwelling In stovcland never has
been In all tho ages really anJ com
fortably warm In winter It is largely
our own fault Mankind is the only an
imal which employs tire In the effort to
survive the ealtl of the winters The
hardy lower animals do not need it
however much their luxuriously ener
vated representatives the dog and the
cat may enjoy it when they have a
chance
Ancient man only got himself rid of
his provident coat of hair and his suf
ficent latent heat when he began to
loaf around the family cooking stove
and absorb the intoxicating comfort of
artificial warmth This faraway an
cestor Is responsible for the fact that
the present day human being outside
of the belt aforesaid is obliged to keep
close to a thermometer registering
nearly or quite 70 degrees F from Oc
tober to May besides which he must
needs wear extra clothing This also Is
an inherited habit
A traveler west once asked a half
naked Indian in midwinter how he
managed to stand the weather The
Indian replied Your face n got a

VIRTUE IN COPPER
The Metnl In n Death Dealer to All
DIseuse CerniN
Copper is a marvelous preventive
of disease If wo returned to the old
copper drinking vessels of o ir forefa
thers typhoid epidemic would disap
pear
The speaker a filtration uxpert took
a copper cent from hit pocket
Examine this cent under the micro
scope he said and you will lind it
altogether free from disease germs
Examine gold and silver coins and
you will find them one wriggling and
contorting germ mass Yet copper
coins pass through dirtier hands than
gold and silver ones Youd think they
ought to be alive with micro-organisms
Iut no Copper kills germs
Diphtheria and cholera cultures smear
ed on a copper cent die in less than
two hours
They have many cholera epidemics
in China but certain towns are always
immune These towns keep their
drinking water in great copper vessels
Travelers have tried to buy these ves
sels for they are beautiful but the
villagers will not sell them They have
a superstition that their health and
welfare depend on their retention I
wish all superstitions were as true and
salutary as that Philadelphia Bul

The Joke Was on the Students
When Dr Nathan Lord was presi
dent of Dartmouth college he used to
drive about in a dilapidated old fash
ioned contrivance The students be
came tired of seeing the concern and
though Dr Lord knew of this he clung
to the old calash One night a group of
the young men hauled the thing out of
the shed where it was kept took it sev
eral miles down the road toward Leba
non and hid it in a spot where it -was
concealed by dense foliage They were
just about to depart well satisfied -with
the tiresome job when the curtain
which completely enveloped the front
of the calash was suddenly pushed
aside and the well known face of Presi
dent Lord appeared Now gentle
men he said you may draw me back
again
Homes Under the Ground
In the salt district in Cheshire Eng
land the brine has been pumped so
continuously out of the earth that the
land has settled very considerably
The houses naturally sink with the
earth and in some of the streets in
Northwich only the roofs are visible
The houses are inhabited although
the rooms are underground In a
great many cases additional stories
have been added so that by living in
the upper rooms the residents may
have some light and air The road
ways sink too but are kept up to the
proper level by the government
He Laid
Dont waste your time in clipping
off the branches said the -woodman to
his son but lay your ax at the root of
the tree And the young man went
out and laid his ax at the foot of the
tree like a good and dutiful boy and
then he went fishing Truly there is
nothing so beautiful as -filial obedience

PRACTICAL PICTURES
Odd Ill rl or Ornament and a Very
Substantial Dinner
There is a practical minded million
aire h has invented a substitute for
valuable pictures which it is hoped will
not commend itself to others He has
had a large number of bank notes
framed and these are hung upon the
wall where the pictures should be
In the drawing room is one frame
that contains a bank note for 100000
and he says There is the money in
case I find a picture which is
i ly valuable to pay that price for it
MeanwLie the note tells its own taio
1 and saves me from explaining to my
I visitors tnat this picture cost so much
as most other rich men do
j The chief pleasure of these collectors
J appears to arise not from the beauty of
the work but from the cost of It then
why not have checks or bank notes for
a large sum hung on the walls as I do
Besides I find that it is much more in
teresting to my visitors for most ot
them look long and carefully at the
bank notes who would but glance at
the work of art
This eccentric man gave a dinner on
the same principle In the soup plates
there was no soup but sovereigns for
fish were served five pound notes for
game checks and for sweets shares in a
thriving company and there was not a
guest who did not enjoy this enter
tainment more than any he or she had
ever before been present at London

Dean Swift on Spelling
Dean Swift roundly denounced the

The custom so Introduced had begun to
dominate prose Another cause bor

of late years that we ought to spell ex

Risks In Railway Journeys
The idea that the man who goes on a
railway journey takes his life in his
hand and is rather more likely than
not to meet with an untimely death at
the first curve the train negotiates is
scarcely borne out by the fact that the
chances against any one passenger
meeting his death on the railway are
30000000 to 1 This immunity from
disaster rellects considerable credit
upon the companies but still more upon
engine drivers and signalmen whose
skill and care are the main factors in
the safety of the passenger London

NIGHT ROBES
They Wtre Once Very Gorjreona and
Worn In the Daytime
In the middle ages night robes as a
general thing were unknown luxuries
Under the Tudors royalty and no
bility had them made of silk or vel
vet and as the old books say hence
no washing was necessary
A night robe of black satin bound
with black taffeta and edged with vel
vet of the same color was daintily
fashioned for Anne Boleyn
More luxurious still was one owned
by Queen Bess It was of black vel
vet fur lined and greatly offset by
flowing borders of silk lace And in
15GS her majesty gave orders that
George Brodigman should deliver
threescore and six best sable skynnes
to furnish us a night gown Four
years later her highness orders the
delivery of twelve yards of purple
velvet friezed on the back syde with
white and russet silke for a night
gown for herself and also orders tho
delivery of fourteen yards of murry
damask for the makynge of a night
gowue for some one else
Night gowns for ladles of a later
period were called nyght vails In
Queen Annes time it was the fashion
to wear them over the customary dress
In the streets In the daytime when out
on a pleasure walk And as was fit
ting ladies who Indulged In night
caps had them also made of silk or
velvet with much pretty garnishing
of lace and glittering cords and the
fair ones made presentation of costly
caps to each other as tokens of respect
or affection
MARINE TURTLES
How They Are Stripped of Their
Shells While Alive
The shells shipped from tlie Colon
district are taken from turtles caught
on the Lagarto and San Bias coasts of
the Caribbean sea during the months
of May June July and August when
they approach the shore to deposit
eggs which are laid on the sandy
beaches above high water mark at
night Holes are dug about one and a
half feet deep and the eggs deposited
therein Generally about three layings
are made during a period of nine
weeks The eggs are rightly covered
with sand and left to be hatched out
by the heat of the sun Tlie turtles are
caught either while on shore or In the
water by means of nets
As a rule they are killed immediately
after being caught cleaned and tho
shell frame washed with sand But on
the San Bias coast the Indians do not
kill them but at once proceed to re
move the shell by subjecting the tur
tles to great heat afterward throwing
the turtles back into the sea By the
application of heat the successive plates
of shell come off very easily
Turtles caught in these waters vary
in size from one to four and a half feet
long with a maximum weight of 150
pounds and the average weight of
shell obtained from each is from six to
seven pounds The commercial value
of tortoise shell depends upon the thick
ness and size of the plates rather than
upon the brilliancy of the colors
They Waited Well
A large audience once gathered in
Baltimore to hear Professor Sylvester
read a unique original poem of 400
lines all rhyming with the name Rosa
lind He had appended to the poem a
large number of explanatory footnotes
which he said he would read first
When at last he had done so he look
ed up at the clock and was horrified to
find that bo had kept the audience an
hour and a half before beginning to
read the poem they had come to hear
The astonishment on his face was an
swered by a burst of good humored
laughter from the audience apd then
after begging all his hearers to feel at
perfect liberty to leave if they had en
gagements he read the Rosalind poem
