But all these electricity can do , do

heaters and lamps , chemical dividers

electricity the cheaper It will become
und the bigger will be the demand.
When there are not only telephones
In every house , but sewing machine

as , long ago , did the first kindling of
fire with slowly won arts of furnace
and lamp , oven and smelter , crucible

electricity.
Superstitions of Great Minds.
Many celebrities have been super
stltlous to an extreme degree. Cae

pcrstitlous about Friday qnd about

When Like Cures Like.
"If you want to bo forever cured of
smoking cigarettes , " said tlio woman
who IB , "have a cigarette fiend visit
you for a couple of weeks. I inherited
one recently. Now she Is gone. 1
breathe again. She was llko a little
chimney , smoking , smoking , day and
night. I would wuko at the sound of
the scratching of a match , then smell
the amoke. I shudder at the smell
of the smoke. I used to come In out
of the fresh air and find the flat filled
with smoke and the smell of it. I
would throw up every window. I felt
llko throwing her out of one of thorn ,
sitting there with the fiendish cigarette -
otto between her teeth , smoking ,

cigarettes for me , I can tell you. 1

Curious Cyclone In Japan.
In a bulletin printed in Japan Prof.
Omorl reports a regular vhenomenon
which attended the passage of a cyclone -
clone near Tokio , There was a tilting
of the earth's surface in ono direction
us the storm approached and in the
other direction after it had gone.
movements , registered at the
professor's seismological observatory ,
Indicated a sinking of the earth where
the atmospheric pressure was lowost.
The expert accounts for it by sup
posing thai suction at the storm center -
tor raised the level of the adjacent
sea , and thus imposed an abnormal
burden on the bottom of the ocean.
Parents Held Responsible.
Now York has adopted very strin
gent rules for the preservation of the
health of school qhlldren , ono of the
latest developments being the rule
that parents who do not keep their
children in good health shall bo pros
ecuted. This scorns a little autocratic
at first glance , but these who have
studied the subject will readily under
stand that it is only common justice ,
as many parents are utterly indifferent
as to the health of their children , ex
posing them unnecessarily , clothing
them inadequately and not providing
good food for them , even when their
moans allow.
These Married Men.
"That excellent actress , Clara Blood ,
good , sat beside mo ono night at a din
ner , " said a Philadelphia playwright ,
"and with the fish some on * began to
talk about wifely extravagance.
"Mrs. Bloodgood listened to tale aft
er talc of the ruinous extravagance of
wives and finally she said :
" 'Wives' extravagance oh , yes !
You men are all alike. You are all
like the broker who , at midnight in his
club , hiccoughed , wipe < Ms eyes and
said brokenly :
' "This Is the sixth bottle of cham
pagne I've drunk to-day , all through
my wife making me lose my temper.
It Is terrible what a lot of money that
costs me , ' "

One way is to pay no attention
to it ; at least not until it de
velops into pneumonia , or
bronchitis , or pleurisy. An
other way is to ask your doc
