He is not mixing up in international maiiers 10 extent, and consequently his name is not getting into the newspapers However, Mr. Osborne is not loafing on his job, which has to do mainly with | ■ the finances of the department. Although he succeeded in substantially burying Irroself, for publicity purposes, Mr Osborne has kept the state department out of bankruptcy, which was no mean job when the European war broke out and everybody looked to the United States for help. Between times he has found oppor tunity to set out a few diplomatic seeds, and one of them is now blooming in the shape of a readjustment of Santo Domingo matters which he handled when on a special mission. _AID TO SANTA CLAUS_ At one of the desks in the United States patent office sits a young wom an scanning a pile of drawings. They are odd-looking sketches, consisting of hundreds of dotted lines, big circles and little circles, almost all the letters, of the alphabet, and shadowy forms of human beings and animals. She is Miss Alice Purinton, an assistant examiner in the patent office, and it is her duty to pass upon the patentability of chil dren's toys. Hundreds of drawings and specifi cations of every toy imaginable find their way to her desk daily, and this material must explain exactly how the toys are made and operated. It is ab solutely necessary that the toys work as the specifications state, and any skilled mechanic is supposed to be able to make them If the description of a certain toy is not lucid enough for Miss Purinton to derive a clear under standing of the mechanism a model must be submitted. The submission uiotuuuSiru, noweTer, as tney only accumulate in the 1 patent office, collecting duet and taking up space. One of the first and foremost requirements of a new toy Invented i* (hat it must have some new feature or improvement over an old and similai toy, or that it be a new and original idea entirely Mechanical and electrical toys with action are the most popular nowa days, according to Miss Purinton. _VICTIM OF RACE HATRED 1 * ■ — mn mm m wt ! Sir Edgar Speyer, member ol a ! banking firm that has houses in Lon- t don, Frankfort and New York, has ■ truly become a victim of race hatred generated by the war. Because he is a native of Germany, his loyalty to England, his adopted country, was fiercely attacked, and finally he re signed his post as privy councillor and came to America. He tried also to re sign bis baronetcy, but found he would have to remain a nobleman for life. Sir Edgar has lived most of his life in England and was made a baro net because of bis munificent philan thropies and his public spirit. Tip to the outbreak of the war he was one of the most popular men in London, and he remained popular until last j spring, when the undercurrent of Eng ; i lish resentment toward Germany and j Germans became vindictive. He was i attacked in the newspapers, and i despite a public assurance by Premier j Asouith, long his friend, that he was : loyal to England, it became necessary to place a guard around his London residence. Deeply hurt by the aspersions ca^t on him. Sir Edgar finally decided to quit England, at least for the present “TORPS” OF THE BRITISH NAVY “Torps is the nickname oi tne torpedo lieutenant*on a battleship Sir Henry Jackson, new first sea lord of the admiralty, is the “Torps" of the British navy, for he is unquestionably its leading torpedo expert. His se lection as successor to Lord Fisher is recognized as most fitting, for Ger many's naval tactics have forced Eng land to admit the importance of sub marine warfare. When Sir Henry entered the navy in 1858 the world was still chiefly thinking about the crude “spar" tor pedoes which Cushing and other Amer icans had used in the Civil war. with the result that they were apt to blow up the torpedoer as well as the tor pedoed. In 1881 he was appointed to the Vernon, the old torpedo school ship at Portmuuth. as a young lieu 1 tenant for a course of instruction. When that was completed he was able to start his career as torpedo lieuten ant on a battleship, ana that soon brought him to the command of the Vesuvius. This craft was attached to the Vernon as an experimental vessel and the captain of the Vesuvius showed so much zeal and knowledge that he was sent off to Fiume to learn about the Whitehead torpedo, which was being manufactured at the Austrian port New Medical Treatment. In the new method of applying radi um therapy, described by Dr. W. C. Stevenson of Dublin, redium emana tion is sealed into extremely fine capil lary tubes, and these are fastened with wax inside hollow needles, which are only one twenty-fifth inch in outside diameter. These needles can be in serted within a tumor with very slight pain. As many as six needles can be used in a single moderate-sized tumor, and the application can be greatly varied in strength while being very uniformly distributed. Death Generally Painless. An eminent military surgeon re cently stated that much of our pity for the victims of severe wounds on the battlefields is in reality wasted and the result of overwrought imagina tions His experience in the present war has brought strongly before him that wonderful provision of nature known to the profession as euthanasia, or painless death. It has proved to him that, in general, we know as little of our going as of our coming into the world. Was Making Signs.

The Effects of Opiates. THAT INFANTS are peculiarly susceptible to opium and its various preparations, all of which are narcotic, is well known. Even in tho smallest doses, if continued, these opiates cause changes in the func tions and growth of the cells which are likely to become permanent, causing imbecility, mental perversion, a craving for alcohol or narcotics in later life. Nervous diseases, such as intractable nervous dyspepsia and lack of staving powers are a result of dosing with opiates or narcotics to keep children quiet in their infancy. The rule among physicians is that children should never receive opiates*in the smallest doses for more than a day It a time, and only then if unavoidable. The administration of Anodynes, Drops, Cordials, Soothing Syrups and other narcotics to children by any but a physician cannot lie too strongly decried, and the druggist should not be a party to it. Children who are ill need the attention of a physician, and it is nothing less than a crime to dose them willfully with narcotics. Castoria contains no narcotics if it bears the signature of Chas. H. Fletcher..

He's manipulated the figures 1-9-1-5 with addition, subtrac tion, multiplication, division and the rule of three.” “What has he found that seems un lucky ?” "Nothing, except that when he add ed 1-9-1-5 together and subtracted the total, 16, frem 1915 it left 1899.” “Yes?” "And that was the year he mar ried.” Love is a malady of the mind that swells the head but makes $10 look like 30 cents.
