REDUCE TARIFF ON BABIES.
Advice Qlvan by Puck to New York
Doctors Who Are Not Too Well
Off Financially.
American Medicine says that the
economic problems of the pruattclng
physician nro dally becoming moro so *
rlouu , and that 00 per cent , of the phy
sicians Iti New York are not earning
J 1,600 a year. It says there is trou-
bio somewhere and finds some of It
In "the too rapid growth of special-
Ism , beyond all needs and demands. "
There or thereabouts , we guess , Is
the main trouble. Most families can
afford a family doctor to tell them
what's the matter and what to do , but
comparatively few families can af
ford a doctor who must ask some oth
er doctor what alls them , and then
call in a third or fourth to do some
thing. U is not that all the doctors
may riot be amply worth their fees ,
but that the families have not got the
mono } t * ilvldo among BO many. Fif
teen bin iirod dollars is not an exces
sive doctor's bill for so simple an
event as a now baby In n moderate
ly well-to-do New York family. Edler-
1 } people who are out of the habit of
having babies , can often afford such a
fee and would cheerfully pay it If they
had occasion. But rash young people ,
Who are the ones who luive the babies
when there are any , can't possibly pay
for them at that rate. And they don't ,
of course , but as a rule they pay moro
than they can afford , ami have it deep
ly Impressed upon them that bublcs
are beyond their means.
But babies are the beginning and
mainstay of the doctor's business.
They mean fees at the start , and then
patients. They should be welcomed ,
not scared off. We recommend thi
physicians to reduce the tariff on ba
Lies In the Interest of trade. Puck.
DATES FROM FEUDAL TIMES
Rod Used In Driving Oxen Is the
Original of Present System of
Land Measurement.
The origin of the rod , pole or perch
ns a llnool and superficial measure
has been traced to the rod , pole or
goad used to urge and direct a team
of oxen pulling a plow. So.it came
about it was used as a convenient and
handy land measure In feudal times
by the lords in allotting plots of Jand
foi agricultural purposes to < the vil
leins and others , says & -wrlter in the
Builders' Journal.
Ono rod wide and 40 long (1. ( e. , ono
furrow long , deep ) built up n quarter
of an acre. The furlong , or four poles
wlao end same depth i. e. , 40 poles ,
ono aero was a convenient length
for a furrow ibefore turning the plow.
Of course these lengths somewhat
varied In different parts of the coun
try where soils and agriculture Tarled ,
but gradually the. slight variations ,
grew less andMlnally the present Ac
cepted statutory aero was evolved.
Gunter's chain ot 66 feet ( ten
square chains to the acre ) was in
vented by Rev. Edmund Gunter (1581- (
162C ) . Ho was a professor of as
tronomy at QresLam college , Lon
don , and Ingeniously adapted It to fa
cilitate decimal calculations In land
measurements. The use of rod In su
perficial measurements of brick work
and lineally In hedges , ditches and
fences followed as a convenient exist
ing measure.
OIL-DRILLER HAS GRIEVANCE
Doesn't Want Any More Dealings with
Women , and Most People Will
Not Blame Him.
In boring for oil , when the drill
reaches the depth where It allows gas
U > escape , every precaution is taken
igalnst Igniting it , lest there should bo
a destructive explosion. This neces
sary precaution gives point to the fol-
ibwlng story , told by a writer In the
Plttsburg News :
"I can deal with men , " growled a
grizzled oil driller , "but a woman can
outdo the best of us !
"The other day I brought in a well
down in Virginny , light close to the
kitchen door of a little' farmhouse.
Just as wo were getting to the ticklish
point , where smoking wasn't allowed
within forty rods , out comes the far
mer's wife and goes to building a big
flre In a Dutch oven.
"Mebby I didn't kick , but she Just
showed mo a batch of dough , an' said
If she didn't bake It 'twould spoil. If
I wanted the'fire out I had got to pay
for the dough. Ten dollars , too.
"She Just dared mo to touch that
Dutch oven , an' I didn't touch It ,
either. I Just gave her the ten.
"Mebby we didn't get that flre out
quick. If the well had broken loose It
would hare'blown me an' the whole
farmhouse out of sight !
"No. sir , I don't want any more dealIngs -
Ings with a woman. They're too
risky. "
Why Thunder Is So Loud.
Experiments made iu the Jefferson
Physical Laboratory by Professor
Tjowbrldgo of Harvard university
show that the astounding noise ot a
lightning discharge Is largely duo to
the dissociation of water vapor ,
through the explosion of the hydrogen
and oxygen gases produced by such
dissociation. In his mimic lightning
experiments the authority referred to
has produced a torrent ot huge elec
tric sparks. The noise of the dis
charge was so great that the operator

itOTHES MADE HIM NEW MAN |
If Anyone Doubts the Tonlo Effect of
Good Appearance , Let Him
Read This.
/
A London medical mon , having do-
{ fared that new clothing is a powerful
mental and moral tonic , and that a
wn In shabby attlro Is often less
ipable than his well-dressed mental
iferior , the Ottawa Citizen says that
U might glvo the doctor some trouble
to explain why nearly all our million-
tires wear trousers that bag at the
knees and cling so pitifully to the
ready-made necktie. "
Instead of trying to explain why mil-
lonalres dress In that way wo think
the London doctor could very truly re
ply that "they don't. " With the doc-
tor's view that new and neat clothing
Is n powerful mental and moral tonic
wo heartily agree. One may test it
'n his own case , or note It in others ,
while always before us wo have con
vincing evidence that women show the
tonic effect of being well dressed. Wo
may cite ono case , says the Toronto
Star. A Toronto man had been in
hard luck. Largely through his own
folly he had gone so completely to the
bad that he was stopping his old-time
acquaintances on the street and asking
them for dimes. One man whu had
known him In his better days took him
homo and fitted htm out with clean
linen , a nice tweed suit , hat and shiny
shoes. What wan the result ? The man
who one day had been furtively whood
llnp dimes from acquaintances next
day walked along the street with his
head up and had no trouble whatever
In borrowing one , two or five dollars
from every person ho recognized.
New clothes made a new man of him ,
tired him with ambition and ho raked
In mure long green In one day than
he used to get in a month.
FOND LOVER WAS TOO HASTY.
Mr , Crow Not Only Lost Bride , But
Alee the Dowry Which Fair One

Moro of our rich papas in America

testing the affections of the adventur
our , commercial-minded , moneyless
wife-hunters both those of our own
nationality as well as the empty-head
ed , titled foreigners who are "ramp-
Ing" on our hunting grounds that
"Uncle Zeke" did In Austin some time
since. After several mouths of vlo
lent protestations of love made for
his daughter , it was at last under
stood that the father was at their
marriage to give his daughter a house
and lot. "Uncle Zeke" was a sly
old coon , and , to test his future son-
in-law's affections , he suld , as they
were amokins their pipes :
"Mr , Crow , I has been cogltatin' , an *
has come" to do 'elusion not to do
nate Matlldy dat ar house an * lot on
Austin avenue. "
Mr. Crow sprang to his feet , and ,
sticking his stovepipe hat on the side
of his head , said :
J'ln dat case , sab , our future re
lations done ceased to exist from dls
moment , sah. "
"But , Mr. Crow , I was gwmo to
say "
"Oh , go hire a hall , pn' invite yei
friends to attend de meetin' ! "
"All right , MisUh Crow. Our rela
tions has done ceased to exist , but I

WHY HE WAS BEING WATCHED
Detective' * Explanation Something of
a Slur on the Quaint Old
Dutch City.
During a period of political agitation
B stranger arrived in Magdeburg ,
where , on applying to the authorities
he obtained a permit or ticket of resi
dence. He had not been long In the
town before he became aware that his
steps were being dogged by a man In
blue uniform. He bore It for days
but at lout said to the spy : "Sir , do
you wish to drive me mad ? Why do
you pursue mo In this way ? " "I am n
detective , and my instructions are not
to lose sight of you , " was the quiet
answer. "Why , what fault have the
police to find with mo ? " shouted the
stranger in the greatest excitement ;
my passport Is In order , here Is my
ticket of residence ; I am a citizen of
Berlin ; why do you follow me about ? "
"It states In your passport , " was the
reply , "that you were going to reside
here for pleasure ; that looks suspi
cious , as it Is the first time anyone
came to reside In Magdeburg for pleas
uro. "
Salt Cellar In Olden Times.
During the latter part of the middle
Ages the salt cellar was the most con-
gplcuous object on the table. It was
always placed in the center of the
long table at which the household
gathered , my lord and lady , family
and guests being at one end , and the
servants and retainers at the other ,
and Iu this way one's social position
was at once apparent , the "gentle
folk" sitting "above the salt" and the
yeomanry below It. Among the
wealthy the salt cellar was of gold or
silver. Benvenuto Cellini chased
eomo for Francis I. that were of the
most exquisite workmanship , and at
the Louvre may bo seen several rich
specimens of salt cellars in faience ,
and the famous sot made at Orion for

ONE QUESTION ALWAYS ASKED
Employer of Labor Wants to Know
If Formation of Jaw Is Natural
or Acquired.
"There Is one question I always ask
a man who wants a job , " remarked
the business man who has to hire
several hundred men for different po
sitions each year.
"The question I always ask them
lsv'Do : you smoke a pipe much ? Of
course the answers are various. Some
of them smoke a pipe a great deal and
others not at all. Some smoke cig
arettes , although I seldom can get a
man to admit it. There seems to bo a
general guilty feeling when a loan is a
cigarette smoker. Some of them
smoke cigars. My business is such
tlmt It makes very little difference to
their availability to me no matter
what they smoke.
"Why do I ask about the pipe ? Well ,
not that I have the leoit interest in
their habits , or that I have any pre
judice one way or another In the mat-
imter. The reason is Unit I want to
know whether the formation of their
lower jaws is natural or acquired.
"A man with n firm lower jaw Is al
ways a man of parts and of will. I
say 'always , ' anyway , most always. If
be docs not smoke a pipe his square
Jaw , back near where It hluges on to
the upper one , is natural. If he is a
pipe smoker the looks are deceiving ,
and I have to judge his caliber some
other way.
"Pipo smokers always have strong
muscles back on the face about the
place a man stops when he makes the
flrst stroke downward in shaving.
These are the muscles that hold the
jaws together. They often give n
square-jawed effect to a man who
hasn't any square-Jaw characteristics.
My men think I ask funny questions ,
but tbarc's a reason "
