The Streets of Amsterdam.
Amsterdam, in Holland, a city of ten
miles in circumference, is mostly built
on piles driven into the sandy subsoil,
but the flowing of the tide and the
debris of the Arnstel river have made
ninety islands, and the city has more
canals than streets. The watery ways
are traversed by over i?<X> bridges, so
that Amsterdam has earned the desig
nation of the Venice of the North.

CRUISING UNDER WATER.
Submarines Aro Light Moving and Are
Easily Controlled.
Ashore we make thd mistake per
haps of thinking of a submarine as a
heavy, logy lualy fighting always for
ker life beneath an unfriendly ocean,
whereas she is a light moving, easily
controlled creature cruising iu a rather
friendly element.
The ocean is always trying to lift her
atop and not hold her under water. A
submarine could be sent under with a
positive huoyance so small—that is,
with so little more than enough in her
tanks to sink her—that an ordinary
man standing on the sea bottom could
catch her as she came floating down
and bounce her up and off merely by
the strength of his arms. Consider a
submarine under water as we would a
toy balloon In the air, say. Weight
that toy balloon so that it Just falls
to earth. Kick that toy balloon and
what does it do? Doesn't it bounce
along and after a few feet fall easily
down again and up and on and down
again?
Picture a strong wind driving that
toy balloon along the street and the
baloon as it bumps along meeting an
obstacle. Will the balloon smash itself
against the obstacle or what will it do?
What that balloon does is pretty much
what a submarine would do if while
running along full speed under water
she suddenly ran into shoal water. She
would go bumping along on the bottom
and meeting an obstacle, if not too
high, she would be more likely to
bounce over it than to smash herself
against it.—Collier's.
OUR COUNTY FAIRS
Their Origin Traced to Habits of
Primitive Man.
BORN IN THE DAYS OF BARTER.
These Exhibitions, Typical of Their
Times, Ever New, Yet as Old as In
dia, Have Been Popular Among All
Peoples and In Every Clime.
The county fair is an institution as
old as India and as new as today. If
anybody supposes' that manufacturing
has dulled the rustic tiavor of the New
England fair let him go to a New Eng
land fair and learn bis mistake.
The fair grounds are thronged with
the characters of a rural drama multi
plied by 5,000. They have come in
every vehicle from touring car to dem
ocrat wagon—the whole family, from
dim eyed grandmother to bright eyed
baby. The old folks are engrossed in
prize stock, the young folks In one an
other. Any one who cannot See a hun
dred country courtships at a county
fair must be blind.
Did any one suppose the fair had
lost the luster of Its pristine glory?
All wrong. It is bigger and better
than ever. The cows are sleeker, the
bulls more Romanly majestic, the stal
lions prouder, the hogs fatter, the
sheep shaggier. The farm maehlaery
grows more intricate and fascinating.
The motorcar does not seem to have
robbed horse racing of its thrills any
more than the human race aeems to
tire of plugging baseballs at the kinky
skull of “the Abyssinian marvel.”
In the midst of all this exetement It
suddenly dawns on one that the hu
man race never tires of fairs. They
are as old as human society. The fair
is the place where primitive man came
to swap wheat for furs, dried dates
for woven cloth. The fair is the blos
som of a commercial society. It la
the bartering place between men who
produce different sorts of commodi
ties. In Russia the huge fairs are the
big business days of the year. In
parts of northern Asia the fair is the
only market.
Oddly enough, reHgion and commerce
have always goue hand in hand at
the fair. The Olympic games of an
cient Greece were almost as much a
comdiercial as a religious event. I
ancient Italy the annual assembly at
the temple of Voltumna was as much
fair as feast. The temple of Jerusa
lem Itself on one occasion proved to
have become almost as muclf a place
of barter and sale as a house of wor
ship.
In medieval Europe the king grant
ed to the abbots, bishops and other
ecclesiastical dignitaries the right to
manage the fairs and to exact tolls
from the trade, which amounted to a
temporary monopoly. When the bish
op of Winchester held his fair In Eng
land, for example, everybody else was
obliged to shut up shop and trade at
the fair. This “holy day" association
remains in the German word for fair,
“messe” anJ in the Brittany word
“kirmiss,” or “church mass.”
No one seems to know whether peo
ple first came together to worship and
then decided to trade or whether they
came together to trade and then de
cided to worship.
The great medieval fairs were swept
away in the eighteenth century—in
France by the revolution, which abol
ished such ecclesiastical monopolies,
M T hile in England the fairs were abol
ished by an odd combination of good
roads and had morals. The good roads
made intercommunication easier, and
the low moral tone of the fairs brought
them into disrepute.
Yet the fair is a mirror of the society
which produces it. Compare the Olym
pic games with a county fair. The
chariot race becomes the trotting race,
the rhapsodist chanting the Homeric
poems becomes the barker bawling the
ballyhoo; the statues of Phidias be
come the exhibition of fancy needle
work; the rite of human sacrifice (sup
posing there is one) becomes the bal
loon ascension and parachute jump or
the aviator looping the loop, and the
stately dramas of Aeschylus, Sophocles
and Euripides become the midway
sideshows of “Glimpses in the Ha
rem.”
But we can do better than that. The
germ cel] of the modern city is the
fair. When John Bunynn resolved to
pillory society in “Pilgrim’s
Progress” be invented “Vanity Fair.”
More than a century later, when
Thackeray tackled the same Job in
one of the greatest of English novels,
he borrowed that title from Bunyan.
Literature abounds in fairs. The op
era without a “kirmiss” scene is only
half an opera. The reason is that the
fair is a miniature of human society;
it is to the great city as a potted plant
is to a tree.
So we have our food fairs, trade
fairs and every few years our world
fairs. Fairs in one form or another
human society will continue to have
for the simple reason that from the
holy fairs of India to the county fair
of the United States the fair is human
society.—Boston Globe.
MRS. BROWN HAS
GArNED 20 POUNd|.
Was Confined to Her Bed and Chail
for Over Two Years, and Thought
She Would Not Live Long. A 3
“You can tell them that it helped
my wife too; and -of all the people
that have made statements about!
getting benefit from Tanlac I beiieve]
we have the most cause to be thank-1
ful, for she thought she would not!
be living long and the doctor did
not give me any encouragement.
This remarkable statement was
made by Mr. J. L. Brown a well
known carpenter of College Park, At
lanta, in conversation with Dr. E.
B t Elder. Mr. Brown added very se
riouslyly that he felt unable to ex
press in words his great apprecil
tion for what Tanlac had done for
his home and the mother of his
eight children, and then went on< to
say:
“For over two years she has had
to live on practically nothing but
milk, being bothered as she was
with a bad stomach that kept drag
ging her down until she was hardly
more than a living skeleton. She
didnt seem to get any strengthen
ing rest at night and simply had
no energy for anything. In fact,
she spent about all her time between
her bed and the chair and did
feel like taking an interest in ■Sny
thing. .
“She had a mighty bad breaking
out on her ankles, too, and all the
way up to her knees and these place
would then swell up terribly. Her
color was bad too, and it just look
ed like nothing on earth could ever
do her any good or liven her up.
“Well, some strange ‘things hap
p n in this world, and the change
in her *s certainly one of them,
for it was about a month ago that
she was as bad off as she has been
at all, and now she it; a well woman
and I am sure a happy man. She
has taken just three bottles of Tan
lac and weighs 120 pounds; that is
she has gained 20 pounds since she
'began taking it.
“My wife now eats heartily,
good and feels as strong as she did
years ago. She is now doing all her
own housework and cooking and say* •*
she will never be able to say enough
about this Tanlac. We dont m'ind
who you tell about this, for its no
thing but the plain, simple truth, and
that don’t hurt anybody.

De La Perriere, and in Bethlehem
by Leslie & Hhndrix.
STORAGE BATTERIES.
Keeping Them In Use It Better Then
Letting Them Stand Idle.
Few persona whose everyday life is
In some way dependent upon the stor
age battery know the paradoxical truth
that the more It is used the longer it
lives. Thus a great mistake is made
by automobile owners, for instance, in
allowing batteries to stand idle for
long periods of time, for when storage
batteries are not in action the plates
are subject to attack by the acid solu
tion. If this corrosive process is al
lowed to continue uninterruptedly the
entire surface of the plates becomes
covered with a hard layer of sulphate,
which destroys the porous texture of
the plates and makes them incapable
of engagiug in normal electrolytic ac
tion, but when the batteries are being
used to generate electricity the con
stant shifting of the atoms in the me
tallic plates prevents the accumulation
of sulphate deposits.
Instead of lying unused, storage bat
teries can be applied to the lighting of
ornamental lamps or night lamps with
no expense except for occasional re
charging and with a saving of electric
light bills as well as much lengthening
the life of the batteries.
When storage batteries are to remain
totally idle for as Join? as two months
the acid solution should be removed
from the porous plates. To do this
they should be short circuited in water
and discharged until the voltage is
about half a volt. Then they should .
be rinsed thoroughly and allowed to
soak in water for at least a day. When
the plates are dried they can be kept
indefinitely without fear of deteriora
tion.—New York World.
Superstition That Is Ancient.
In many parts of Great Britain the
superstition still survives that it is
folly to save a drowning man, as he
will sooner or later do an injury to the
rescuer. The superstition comes down
from our ancestors, yet traces of it ex
ist among the Sioux and other Indians,
who seem to have inherited it from
aboriginal sources. The belief is most
prevalent in Cornwall and various parts
of Scotland. _
