id Relieve Suffering.
“I have taken Cardtil
and have found it a very
helpful ’medicine," rays
Mrs. Minnie Rocher, of
Lynn Haven, FJa. “After
n course of Cardui, I felt
like I had been made over.
“For a while I suffered
With bad pains in my back
and sides. At times, these
would distress me so I
would seem past going.
“We had known of Car
dui in our family for a
long time, so 1 thought 1
would try taking it. I soon
began to improve. I grew
strong and well, and was
able to resume my house
hold duties without the
least inconvenience.”

less extract of valuable
medicinal herbs. Try It.

TIk; late Leonard W. Wood was
commiserated with by a reporter, one
day In Washington, on tlio apparent
neglect meted out to him during the
World war and on die harsh Judgment
that had been passed upon his admin

General Wood changed the subject,
but afterward, ns iho reporter was
about to go, he told a story.
“When we are Judged," he said, "we
must consider our Judges. We must
Judge our Judges, so to speak.

Electric Furnace One
of Scientific Freaks
When men can thrust their bare
hands Into an electric furnace that
rielts metal with ease, It would seem
that there is such a thing as cold heat.
White mice, too, will run about In
this furnace without suffering any ill-
effects, white an interior of a wireless
valve can be heated to incandesecn.ee
without Lion ting the glass |^ulh itself.
The secret Is that the furnace heats
only electrical conductors, being a
high-frequency Inductance furnace.
It. la in the manufacture of wireless
valves that one of the most Interest
ing uses of tills furnace Is found. Just
before the valve Is sealed from the
vacuum pump U Is placed for a mo
ment within a high-frequency coil.
The metal parts Immediately become
red hot and tlie bubbles of gas and
vapor arc boiled out. The valve Is
then scaled from the pump with the
knowledge that the later heating of
the valve by the .filament will not
cause further release of bubbles.

Elbe Dynamite
There is nothing that n man will
not do for the woman ho truly loves 1
There Is a type of woman who knows
tills and who, after having won the
devoted love of a man, proceeds to
use that love ns a mean of gaining her
purely selfish ends.
Many a woman of this type is hope
lessly extravagant. She knows that her
husband will make any sacrifice to
gratify even her slightest whim. But
s?ho often does not know that the very
love which ninke3 him spoil her will
make him violently condemn her If she
Indulges in dangerous indiscretions.
Love is somewhat like dynamite. If
properly handled, It can serve the
most ur.eful of purposes. If treated
carelessly, It can cause havoc and
even death.—True Story Magazine.

i Silver in Olden Days
Whatever the difference In mechan
ical aspects, In many respects our
modern life parallels closely the lives
of the ancients. The noble and aris
tocratic Egyptians and Greeks laid an
exquisite appreciation of the nlce.tles
of life, One of their most cherished
treasures was their sterling silver,
which they had in abundance and from
which they drunk and feasted. It was
their accredited tableware ns it was
‘of the nobles of the Romnn empire.
Cups and vessels of this precious
metal have come down to us through
the ages In a perfect state of preser
vation.
“ P Ur. iversily Defined
American Universities and Colleges
says that In the United States a uni
versity Is an Institution of higher
learning, comprising a college or col
leges of arts, literature and science—
historically the first part of the Amer
ican university to come Into exist
ence—and professional colleges or
schools of law, medicine, theology, etc.,
and especially a graduate school of
arts, literalnro and science. Tn nd
dition to schools and colleges de
voted to instruction and research, the
university Includes divisions of lab
oratories, libraries and museums,
and sometimes a university press and
research institutes. Not every Institu
tion which calls Itself u university
measures up to this definition.
Girl of Century Ago
and Today Compared
\Vo look hack with amazement and
pity at llie woman of 182.8, It Is said,
tint, says the London Daily News, we
look with admiration also, for It Is
out of their dreainjng and striving
that our freedom lias come, i’oor Miss
IS23 offers a striking contrast between
the young women of that day and
those of the present year.
Look at her standing there in her
stuffy thick clothing:, her hideous
frilled “pelisse" with Its pulfed sleeves,
her face hidden by an ungainly flap-
ping bonnet "as large as an umbrel
la.'’ Sho has been grounded in the
principles of religion and morality.
liar head is stuffed with Mttngmill's
questions, her fingers are sore with
working “samplers,” her body Is stiff
with that strange cult known us “de
portment.’’
She is Just sixteen years old and
ready to "come out” to a life of so
cial and domestic Inanition. When
she dances, it is to pace soberly
through the measures of n minuet or
the quadrilles, for shg has not yet
boon Introduced to the "sprightly
polka" or the gluinorous waltz. Lit
tle wonder that she breaks the mo
notony of her days by occasional fits
of hysteria or a graceful swoon.
She had her vanities, poor dear—
her looks were one of her few Inter
ests. BIio was as frightened of corpu
lence ns is her modern sister. Itosy,
fresh cheeks were considered common,
and she deprived herself of adequate

Elephant Supreme in
;; Ruler ship of Jungle
Elephants are found nearly every
where In Indo-Chlna except in Tank
ing. They are similar to the rndlnn
elephants, and although they have
been divided Into several subspecies,
on very slender ground, they nil be
long to the same race: Eh-phas mnxi-
mus.
Not so tall as their African cor-ins,
but very nearly as big, they differ
from the latter by a good number of
points, “F. J." sn.vs, writing In the
Atlantic Monthly.Their ears are much
smaller and differently shaped. Their
trunk Is absolutely lloxlhlc am] riot
made of numerous segments, tml
rather like a hlg rubber tube with only
one fingerlike proboscis at the tip
Their hack Is convex from the shoul
ders to the root of the tall nnd their
forehead Is slightly concave. Also
the brain capacity Is larger than in
the African species, thus making the
head shot far more deadly. An
Asiatic elephant charging Is easily
stopped with a bullet In tlm forehead.
To my mind, the elephant deserves
the name of King of Beasts more than
docs the lion or the tiger, lie fears
only man, and that not always lie
is the unchallenged master.of the
Jungle and, confident In his onorm ms
strength, lends among Its denizens a
peaceful existence, fearing norm and
uttacking none.

Operator Cat In on
Greenland, Long Ago,
Colonized by Danes
Greenland was originally colonized
by Scandinavians, about tlio year 1000,
but the colony dwindled nnd became
extinct shortly before 1500, owing
clih'fiy to the inroads of the Eskimo.
Tlio existing Danish colony was es
tablished in 1721, The aborigines, says
the Smithsonian institution, nre all
of Eskimo stock and number altogeth
er about 11,000, including a very large
proportion of mixed bloods, who, ns u
rule, adhere to Eskimo customs and
language.
This number seems to he consider
ably higher titan In 1721, but the dif
ference is largeiy, if not entirely, to
be accounted for by the Increase of
the mixed-blood stock from European
intermarriage. _
Theory cf Arrhenius
Svante August Arrhenius, the noted
Swedish chemist and physicist, be
lieves that life is an interstellar ele
ment and may be transmitted from
one planet to another. According to
ids conception, life is universally dif
fused and is constantly emitted from
all habitable worlds in the form of
spores. These spores traverse space
for years, and possibly ages. The ma
jority of them are ultimately de-
slroyed by the beat of some blazing
star, but some few, he thinks, find a
resting place on bodies which have
already reached the habitable stage.
Life, according to Arrhenius, may al
so be transmitted from one heavenly
body to another by means of meteors.

Historic Edifice
Kenilworth cnstlo is in Warwick
shire, England, It has figured promi
nently in the history of the country.
In 1575 It was tlio scene of 19 days’
entertainment of Queen Elizabeth by
t lie earl of Leicester. The walls
originally Inclosed an area of 7 acres.
The principal portions of the building
remaining nre the gatehouse, now used
os u dwelling house; Caesar’s tower,
the only portion built by Geoffrey do
Clinton now extant, with massive walls
10 feet thick; the Merwyu’s tower of
Scott's ‘‘Kenilworth”; the great hall,
built by John of Gaunt, with windows
of very beautiful design, and the
Leicester buildings, which nre in n
very ruinous condition.
English Tongue in France
English In eleven lessons so equipped
twenty Paris policemen that they an
swered 350 questions In the new lan
guage. This encouraging result caused
the prefect, Jean Chtnppe, to order
250 more of the force to go to the
school. Frenchmen who have adven
tured abroad suggest that a notebook
nnd pencil will help out the officers,
for they have found It simpler In Eng
land nnd America to write their qeus-
tions rather than wrestle with the
foreign accent.
Prehistoric Burvivor
a How We Get “Dixie”
Dixie, ns a pet name for (lie South
bind, had .Us origin in New Orleans
ami can he traced to certain bank
notes issued by the Citizens batik of
Louisiana, according to a theory ad
vanced in Pathfinder Magazine. The
mixed population of (lie state ot
Louisiana at that time necessitated
the printing of paper nofes in both.
French and English, so that 310 notes
appeared with English on one side
and the French ward "Dix," meaning
10, on the other. The notes were for
this reason christened “Dixit.-." nnd
the Citizens bank was popularly
known ns the Dixie bank.
The word spread until It was ap
plied to the whole South. The old
bank, supposed to have been the first
Dixie bank, still stands at the Rue
Itoynlo in New Orleans.

to save their eats whenever hour 's

ney for using the quotation, ascribed
to William Congreve, a dramatist, of
the Eighteenth century: “Hell hath
