The South African Journal of Sci ence records the steps that have been thus far taken at the suggestion of the South African Association for the Ad vancement of Science, to obtain legis lation in various countries relative to the preservation of meteorites in the interests of science. The committee of sections A and C of the British asso ciation adopted the following resolu tion at the Australia meeting: “That in view of the fact that meteorites which convey information of world wide importance are sometimes dis posed of privately in such a way as to deprive the public of this informa tion, the council be requested to take such steps as may initiate interna tional legislation to the matter.” The Reason. “Look here, waiter,” protested the man who was about to pay his bill. “You’ve charged me 20 cents for rice pudding. The price was 15 cents the last time I ordered it.” “Yes, sir,” replied the waiter. “Rice has gone up, sir.” “On account of the war, I suppose,” said the guest, sarcastically. “No, sir; on account of the June weddings, sir.” Explained. “Songs of the sea are always pop ular.” “Possibly because they are in ac cord with the whistling buoys.” For Pure Goodness and delicious, snappy flavor no other food-drink equals POSTUM Made of wheat and a bit of wholesome molasses, it has the rich snap and tang of high grade Java coffee, yet con tains no harmful elements.

Chapman.) “I say, neighbor," hailed old Jared Eingham, bringing his horse to its haunches with a resounding “whoa!" “ ’pears to me you’re swinging some style, aren't you?” “Oh, that!’’ retorted Bingham, with a careless nod of his head toward the hitching post. “It’s not my doings. Huldah and a protege of hers, as she calls him. All the same, we needed the post. Old one was of soft maple and the hosses had nibbled it away until there was nothing but a stump left. They won’t nibble that iron post, I’m thinking.” With quite a spice of pride old Jared viewed the improvement in question. It was simply a piece of hollow iron pipe three inches through. A hole had been bored near its top and through this a steel ring had been driven. “Durable and convenient,” com mented the neighbor; “but you’ll be getting an awning next!” The new hitching post had been a donation, or rather the humble offer ing of a grateful recipient of the soul ful charity of the old man's daughter, Huldah Bingham. A traveling tinker had met with r mishap with his trundling cart in the road near the Bingham place. He had sprained an ankle and could not proceed on foot. Gentle, pitying Hul dah had ministered to him, and fur nished liniment, and when her father camo home he found the tinker en sconced in the old rocker in the kitchen. “Dunno about taking in free board ers, Huldah!” he had observed) but she had her way. For a week the suf ferer was comfortably housed in an attic room, nursed and fed, and finally was able to get around again. He showed his fervent gratitude in a score of ways. He mended up ev- Stand Staring at the Hitching Post. ery leaking tin and pot in the cup board. He fitted new keys to the doors. He set a new latch on the gate. He ground the tools, he riveted some broken links in the well chain. Then he set the new hitching post as a final token of his appreciation of the kindness of his good friends. That was not all of it. For a long time Seth Greene, working on a farm two mile 3 away, had been dropping in on the Bingham folks once or twice a week. Huldah liked him. Her fa ther was taken with his steady, manly ways. The kindness of Huldah. to the poor tinker was the final evidence of a good heart to the already smitten Seth. He proposed and was accepted. “Although there will have to be a waiting spell, young folks,’’ Jared had announced. “You see, I had to mortgage the old place here when 1 settled up brother William’s claim. Soon as I can pay off that two thou sand dollars and clear the farm, I’ll feel I’ve got a start in the world for all hands round.” A year went by, a golden, happy year for Huldah and Seth. Then the old man called it a waste of time and money to have Seth working for some one else at small wages, when his serv ices would count with all working to gether on the old homestead. “You can have the wedding soon as you like, Huldah,” he said animat edly one day. “I'm within a few dol lars of the mortgage money, and that means independence, hey?” “But Seth has no idea of living on you, father?” “Who wants him to? Here's my plan: The farm goes to you, clear. It’s agreed that I have ? home for life. Seth can be boss and manager. All in the family, isn’t it, and the whole problem settled, long as we live.” “You good, dear soul!” enthused Huldah. “It shall be the object of bur lives to make you happy." It was with supreme felicity that Huldah and Seth settled down to a peaceful, happy married life. The sec ond week after the wedding Mr. Bing ham started for town to draw the $2,000 that was to pay off the mort gage. He had enough saved up now to liquidate the same. He had notified tttt- nnrGTAS ENTERPRISE. DOUGLAS. GEORGIA. a neighbor to whom he owed the money to come for it the next day. It was just at dusk that Huldah, in the kitchen, caught the echo of the j cheery “Get uy> there!” of her father Sin front of the house. She hastened the preparations for the evening meal. Then she failed to hear her father as usual bustling about the stable. “That is strange!” she murmured, as she did not see any lantern light at the rear of the house. Then she went ent to the front. The horse and wagon were standing near the hitch ing post. Just then Seth came in from the fields. “Why, I wonder what can have be come of father!” spoke Huldah. “Oh, Seth! There he is lying in the road!” The old man had fallen, or had been knocked from the wagon —the latter, | it seemed, for there was a mark neai the temple suggesting a blow from some blunt instrument. His pockets were turned inside out, tin watch and the old purse he always carried were gone. They carried liith into the house. It became known all over the dis trict the next day that two thieves had followed Mr. Bingham from town, in some way aware that he carried a large amount of money around with him, and had robbed him of the mort gage money—s2,ooo. Jared was dazed when he cfctne back to consciousness. He recalled being assaulted by two men Just as he left the wagon to secure the horse to the hitching post. “I had the money from the bank in two one-thousand-dollar bills,” he said. “I’d put them in an old snuff box and kept that in my coat pocket, where I could constantly feel it. They must have got it, yet—yet—” and he tried to think hard—“it seems to me that their coming at me warned me, and I clutched the box, and —and —no; it's no use, I can't remember! It’s four years more hard work to make it up, but I'm thankful they spared my life.” They never discovered any trace of the thieves. It broke up the old man considerably to realize the tre mendous loss with which he had met. “I hope his mind is going to be all right,” spoke Huldah anxiously to her husband one day. “Why should you think otherwise?” asked Seth. “Why, every once in a while father stops work and goes out to the spot where he was knocked from the wag on by those men. He will stand star ing there for a full quarter of an hour at the hitching post, as if it were a sort of an oracle he was consulting.” “Well, it was a great shuck, the robbery,” said Seth, “but it will wear off with father after a time.” Seth had bought a new horse, a great powerful animal, and he hitched him up one morning to go to town. The rig was all ready in front of the house while the family were eating breakfast. Suddenly, glancing out of the side window, old Jared sprang quickly to his feet and ran out of the house. “That road roller is coming,” hr shouted, “and I'll bet it scared the new horse. Too late! Too late! Slam etty-bang! The animal's gone, hitch ing post and all!” The announcement was true. The new horse had pulled the hollow post up and was speeding down the turn pike with it swinging behind him. Seth started in pursuit. Father and daughter stood staring after. Sudden ly Jared uttered a strange cry. He stooped over and from the scattered dirt where the post had been pulled from place picked up—his old snuff box. “Why, I remember, clear as day, now!” he shouted. “Huldah!” and he opened the box and the two SI,OOO bills were safe and sound. It was true, and just then the con necting link in the mystery flashed into the old man’s mind. When the robbers had attacked him he had slipped the box over the edge into the hollow tube, and time and circum stances had proven it to be a safe hiding place. LOTS OF COMPANY FOR POOR Statistics Show 82 Out of 100 Leave No Wealth at Death—Records of Surrogate Court It may astonish you to know that if you are forty-five years old you have a better chance to live ten years longer than you had of living ten years when you were only twenty-five years old, remarks “Girard” in the Philadelphia Ledger. From a great life insurance com pany I have the mortality figures for 100 healthy men at twenty-five. In the first decade after that age five of the 100 die. In the second decade, or from thirty-five to forty-five years of age, 11 die, showing that to be the critical period in human existence. Between forty-five and fifty-five only four pass out, while in the subsequent decade 16 fall. Of the little army of 100 there still remain 37 at the age of seventy-five. This company says that of 100 men who start a business life at twenty five, five will become rich and four wealthy. Surrogate court records show that only three out of every 100 men die possessed of an estate of more than SIO,OOO. Eighty-two out of the 100 leave no income-yielding estate. Obviously if one loves lots of com pany one should remain poor. Little liiusions. “This investment will pay better than 10 per cent.” “You will not miss the easy monthly payments.” “One bottle will greatly improve your condition and three will cure you.” LURE OF THE GREAT CITY In Spite of Royal Mandate London Has Always Proved Irresistible to the Rich. Royal proclamations, which in these days of stress follow fast and follow faster, differ in one important respect Jacobean days; they merely proclaim what the law allows. One of the most curious efforts to secure reform by proclamation of the illegal kind was that made while London was expand ing at a feverish rate and the coun ties were supposed to be suffering by the desertion of the nobility and gen try, says the London Chronicle. Proclamations were Issued by James I forbidding the erection of new build ing in the metropolis, and ordering the well-to-do to reside in their coun try houses for the good of their neigh bors and the poor. One of Aese king ly efforts pointed to “those swarms of gentry, who, through the instigation of their wives, or to now-model and fashion tlieir daughters (who, if they were unmarried, marred their reputa tions. and, if married, lost them) did neglect their country hospitality, and cumber the city, a general nuisance to the kingdom.” In spite of the star chamber, however, and heavy fines (one Sussex gentleman was fined £1,000) the lure of London proved irresistible, and the melancholy pre diction of James was realized, “that England will shortly be London, and London England.” CARE FOR YOUR HAIR Frequent Shampoos With Cuticura Soap Will Help You.
