All true patriots should give Ad- mlral Hvuns absent treatment for his rheumatism. If tough luck" Is the inspiration for Mark Twain, misfortune has points of merit worth high praise. Pardon the apparent Irrelevancy of the query, but Is not a mosquito also a purveyor qf living iuubIc? , The bargain counter crushes make the trade depression look like a night mare that, met Its death in infancy. Spain Is to havo a new ?80,000,000 navy, to bo built In England.

That woman defendant who threw ancient eggs at tho Judge probably was surprised when oven that act was not accepted as proof of bur Innocence. If it Is notTliouglit wise to create a now cabinet olllccr why not make tho proposed national health bureau a de- partment under the secretary of tho Interior? Bibulous Georgians Will now have to devise new methods of getting It when they want It. Hlbulous neces sity knows no law, and is tho mother of invention. When it comeB to preparing to be gin to make ready to send a chal lenge, Sir Thomas Upton has our most distinguished prize fighters hanging on the ropes. Probably it required millions of years to produce tho potato bug, use less, and worse than useless, as it seems to be. Science- is wonderful, but discouraging.

And still another iconoclast charges that Washington did not write his justly famous farowoll address. It now remains to demonstrate that George was a myth anyhow. Mark Twain is said to have had $5i,109 in ono of tho Now York banks which shut up during the panic. If bo, UiIb will furnish an Interesting chap ter in IiIb aublography. The pure-food exports of Pennsyl vania have tested 83 breakfast foods. All tho heroes, ready and willing to die for their country, uro not confined to the army and navy.

Novertheloss, it must bo admitted that three or four of tho American heiresses who bought titled husbands aro atlll living with them. But they are supposed to bo exceptionally hardy.

A New York Juror throw a lit tho other day during a court trial. New York lawyers aro tho limit, but this Is tho first timo a juror has had tho courage to express his opinion of thorn in an adequate manner. Tho Princo do Sagan says ho would havo challenged Count Boni do Cas tellano to fight a duel if tho count had struck him with his. glovo in tho faco. Ab Bonl merely knocked' him down and kicked him into tho gutter, tho prince considers tho count to bo un worthy of notice. Wo cannot holp regarding tho princo as tho world's leading unconscious humorist. MICROSCOPE WITHOUT A LENS. You Can Make One at Cost of Little Time and Trouble. Nearly everyone ban heard of the pin-hole camera, hut, the fact that the Haine principle can ho used to make a microscope, having u magnifying powerofelght. diameters ((51 times) will perhaps he new to some readers. To make this lenslcss microscope, procure a wooden spool, A (a snort spool, say one-half or three-fourths Inch long, produces a higher magni fying power), and enlarge the bore a little at one end. Then blacken the Inside with India ink and allow It to dry. From a piece of. thin transparent celluloid or mica, cut out a small disc, It, and fasten to the end having the enlarged horo by means of brads. On the other end glue a piece of thin cardboard, C, and at the center, D, make a small hole with the point of a Nino needle. It Is very Important that the hole D should he very small, other- wise the image will he blurred. mum(lln ..i., n small rilimnt . llin tinni!ii(ii.niit illun iir hin t I . ,,,., ,M .,. n. nhnt vw - ""J ntlhnrn. ami look thifiueli thn hnln D.

(The area would appear 04 times as Jarge.) But an object three-fourths of an Inch from the eyo appears so blurred that none of tho details are discernible, and It is for this reason that the pin-hole is employed. Viewed through this microscope, a .lly's wing appears as. largo as a per son's hand, hold at arm's length, and has the general appearance shown In Fig. 3. The mother of vinegar ox amlncd in the same way Is seen to bo swarming with a mass of wriggling lit tie worms, and may possibly cause the observer to abstain from all salads tor- over after. An innocent looking drop of water, In which hay has been soaked for several days, reveals bun drods of little Infusoria, darting across the Hold In every direction. These and hundreds of other Interesting objects may bo observed In this llttlo lustra ment, which costs llttlo or nothing to make. No church is more needy than the ono that neglects the needy.

Books can catch cold, as well as children. "Or make marks upon me with your pen or pencil. It would spoil my looks. "Or lean on nie with your elbows when you are reading me. It hurts. "Or open me and lay me down on the table. You wouldn't like to be treated so. "Or put in between my leaves a pen cil or anything thicker than a single sheet of thin paper. It would strain my back.

A lady writer who not only has done cood literary work, but reared a family, found in Grape-Nuts tho ideal food for brain work and to develop healthy children. Sho writes: "I am an enthusiastic proclaimer of Grape-Nuts as a regular diet. I for merly had no appotlto in tho morning and for S years while nursing my four children, had insufficient nourishment for them. "Unable to eat breakfast I felt faint later, and would go to tho pantry and eat cold chops, sausage, cookies, dough nuts or anything I happened to find. Being a writer, at times my head felt heavy and my brain asleep. "When I read of Grape-Nuts I began eating It every morning, also gavo it to tho children, Including, my 10 months old - baby, who soon grew as fat as a litlo pig, good natured and contented. "Within a week I had plenty of breast milk, and felt stronger within two weeks. I wrote evenings and feeling the need of sustained brain power, began eating a small saucer of Grape-Nuts with milk instead of my usual Indigestible hot pudding, pie, or cake for dessert at night. "Urape-Nuts did wonders for mo and I learned to like It. I did not mind my housowork or niothor's cares, for I felt strong and full of 'go.' I grew nlump, nerves strong, and when 1 wrote my brain was active and clear; indeed, tho dull head pain never re turned." "There's a Reason." Namo given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
