HEAD A HALF HOUR A OAA
How a Housewife W "h Intelligence
Kept Herself From Drifting into
a Duii, Old Woman.
A woman who has brought ip a big
family on a small income, yet has
managed to keep mentally alert, says
It is due to a Half-Hour club
This club has as its fixed rule that
half an hour each day must be spent
in solid reading. There was a leeway
of 24 hours, after that there was a
nne of five cents each day for fail
ure to get through the prescribed
reading.
Twice a month the club meets for
discussion of the reading done and to
collect fines of delinquents and spur
them on to fresh effort.
The woman who told of this club
•ays: “No one knows what It has
meant to me. When you are the one
woman In a family of boys, have s
bushel basket of stockings to darn
weekly, six children to sew for, les
sons to be heard, it is a big tempta
tion to stop reading entirely or to
fritter spare minutes on novels. That
half hour a day of solid reading has
kept me up with the times, has rested
my body and stimulated my bn in.
and, best of all, It has kept me from
drifting into a dull old woman, of
whom my sons might love, but would
pity for her ignorance.
Especially if you live in a small
town is such a club of importance. It
Is easy to stagnate, unless a conscious
effort is made. The winter season is
the time to start such a club amonj
yours neighbors. Do not be content
with planning a half-hour reading
dally for yourself. You will never hold
to it without the stimulus of com
panionship and the broadening inter
est of the fortnightly meetings.
WHEN PINS WERE VALUABLE
In Ytars Gone By, the Humble Mouse
hold Utensil Was Given Much
Consideration.
The. custom of making presents oi
New Yea’s day is now practically ob
solete among English speaking peo
ple, the day of gift giving now being
Christmas. When pins were first in
vented and brought into use about
the beginning of the sixteenth cen
tury they were a New Year’s rrlft very
acceptable to ladles, and money given
for the purchase of them was called
“pin money.” This expression has
since been extended to money settled
by a husband on his marriage for the
private expenses of his wife Pint
made of metal, in their present form
were in UBe some time before the yeai
1543. It was during the reign ol
Henry VII. that “an acta for the true
making of pynnes” was made In
which It was enacted that the pries
Bhould not exceed S shillings 8 pence
a thousand. Pins had previously
been made of box wood, bone and sil
ver for the richer classes. Thos*
used by the common folks were mad«
of common wood and were, in fact,
skewers.
Bacilli for Consumption.
An alleged new bacilli treatment
for consumption, an alleged discovery
of a Dr. Friedmann, which has been
widely exploited by a newspaper syn
dlcate, Is discredited by the Journal
of the American Medical association.
In order to secure curative effect*
It la asserted that these living bacilli
derived from some kind of a turtle
most be Injected deep Into the mus
eles of the patient. The preparation
of the remedy le secret "The use of
the Jtuld,” says the Journal, “le prob
ably not without danger. There is
not suacleqt jrurrant for any other
attitude toward Friedmann’s treat
ment of tubercnlosls than one of crit
ical neutrality and Judicious skepti
cism.”

Newest Pest.
The newest pest In the west and
middle west Is the dog. Not the prai
rie dog, just the common dog. He is
responsible for the decline in the j
sheep raising Industry. In many
states In the section of the country
once largely devoted to cattle and
sheep raising, there are more dogs
than there are sheep. It takes three
barb wires on top of two feet of woven
wire to make a fence that will
keep dogs away from sheep. Kansas
had 175,000 sheep and 199,000 dogs
In 1910, according to the secretary of
the Kansas board of agriculture.
The usual answer farmers in the
weBt give to the question, “Why don’t
you keep sheep?” Is “We can’t keep
dogs from killing them.”
Fata Morgana.
The celebrated Fata Morgana, a
presentation of natural “moving pic
tures" on an immense scale, which Is
occasionally seen In the Straits of
Messina, is explained by a scientific
writer as being a mirage, such as fre
quently occurs in various parts of the
world. “In fact,” he says, “one may
aee a mirage any day by looking
through the stratum of air overlying
a hot stove, or adjacent to the side of
a wall heated In the sunshine.” Young
scientists will be Interested in verify
ing this statement
Naw England’s Advantage.
Here Is how the spirits of the wise
sit In the clouds and mock us. "Even
at the risk of arousing western preju
dice, I maintain that New England
and all broken, hilly, rocky countries
have a decided advantage over re
gions of great fertility, in nat human
Btupidity and mole-eyed greed can
never wholly divest them of forests
that their sterile crags and steep ac
clivities mast mainly be left to wood

NO MAN-FLY ON MONUMENT
Great Commotion at Oapital on Re
port That New Yorker Waa
Scaling Shaft.
Rumors that a New York "human
fly," who has been scaling office build
ings in that city, was climbing the
. side of the 555-foot Washington monu
I ment, gave this city no end of excite
ment the other day.
Someone discovered a black spot on
the aide of the shaft, about 150 feet
from the top, and then the report
started.
Hundreds rushed toward the monu
ment grounds, a half mile from the
center of. the olty. Along. Pennsyl
vania nvenue crowds oollected at ev
ery comer and windows sad door
ways rapidly filled with people.
Newspaper photographers, who
were early on the scene and other
Investigators brought bjy word that
the supposed figure 40^9 * ®Pot
left by last night’s heavy ealn; but up
to an early hour gazers on Pennsyl
nnii nvpmiA still insisted they could
nee the figure move.
The war department, which con
trols the monument, was besieged
with telephone calls.
Nearly three hours after thg>v first
explanation a telephone message from
the capitol said that congressmen
were watching the spot through opera
glasses, and were convinced it occa
sionally moved a little.
Has No Jurisdiction.
One of Representative Kahn’s Cali
fornia constituents wrote to him not
long ago Inclosing blue prints of a de
vice he had thought up for “sorutlnis
ing heavenly bodies," as he put It.
He wished to have an appropriation
of a million dollars or so from con
gress to perfect his device, so that th#
humblest citizen could know Just
what is going on in Mars and various
celestial points
Kahn didn’t like to offend the man
with a flat refusal of congress to ap
propriate this money, and be put it to
him like this:
"We have gone over the situation
carefully, and the best lawyers among
us are of the opinion that we can do
nothing for the reason that congress
has no Jurisdiction over heavenly
bodies."
Stimulating Effect of Advertising
And one of the most wonderful
things about advertising is the stimu

whether it be stor< factory or city.
Haven’t you noticed that the merchant

fashion Is the one whose goods are
well displayed in spotless storo.
whose business m nods are sound,
