Carpet Kntghta."Carpet knights,” quoth a writer

once in the long ago, “are such as have studied law, physic, or other arts or sciences, whereby they have be­come famous, and seeing that they are not knighted as soldiers, they are not therefore to use the horseman’s £itle or spurs; they are only termed simply miles and milites, ‘knight/ or ‘knights of the carpetry/ or ‘knights of the green cloth,’ to distinguish them from those knights that are dubbed as sol­diers in the field.”

The Best Glory.I love and commend a true good

fame, because it Is the shadow of vir- ture; not that it doth any good to the body which it accompanies, but it is an efficacious shadow, and, like that of St. Peter, cures the diseases of others. The best kind of glory, no doubt, is that which is reflected from honesty, such as was the glory of Cato and Aristides; but it was harmful to them both, and is seldom beneficial to any man whilst he lives.—Abraham Cow­ley.

Old Pension Plan.They had a roundabout way of be­

stowing military pensions in the old days. Witness this official communi­cation from the British war office in the reign of Queen Anhe. Her majes­ty, it runs, has been pleased to grant Fitton Minshull, a Child, a commis­sion as ensign in consequence of the loss of his father, who died in the service. And Fitton was at the same time granted furlough until further order, his arm* pay being sent regu­larly to his mother.

Quite Portable.A man who had taken an interest

in the “back to the land” movement and had gone so far as to invest in a bungalow met a friend who was anx­ious to know how he had made out. “Was that one of those portable bun­galows you bought?” asked the friend. “I guess it was,” replied the other, rather ruefully. "The wind carried it away one day.”

Getting Rid of Sparrow Pest.Nowhere is the English sparrow in­

cluded among the birds protected by law, and as individuals and 'flocks have an extremely narrow range, each flock occupying one locality to Which its activities are chiefly confined, they are easily exterminated. When' a place has once been cleared of ^ a r ­rows it will be some tlffise before nr it reeecuifed. . -

Marvelous Activities.A diner in a restaurant thought he

would have a joke with the waiter, and ashed him if he had ever seen a saus­age roll. “Say,” said the waiter, “I have not only seen a sausage roll, but I have seen a biscuit box, a table spoon, a chimney sweep, a chain link, a nose gay, a camera slide, a garden fence, a sword fish and a wall flower.”

Beautiful Unseen World.There is a veil covering the unseen

world which not the strongest man nor even the united strength of all the strongest men that ever lived co u ld tear apart. Only faith, fancy, poetry, love, romance, can push aside that cur­tain and view and picture the super­nal heauty and wonder beyond.—Frank P. C h u rch , in New Y ork S u n .

Where Loyalty Counts.Loyalty to one’s employer is the

first lesson that should be taught to the aspirant for a place in the busi­ness world, says a circular sent- out by the efficiency bureau of the New York university. The reason given is that loyalty means success to the employer and resultant prosperity to the employee.

Sharpening a Worn File.“When a file gets dull,” said the

master mechanic, "you can restore its effectiveness by pouring a little nitric acid over it. This roughens the raised parts and deepens the sunk parts so that it will again file your nails or cut a bar of iron.”

Vinegar in Ink.Very often ink gets stringy or oily.

This is caused by the action of the air. A few drops of vinegar put into the ink will make it usable again, but the better plan is to keep the ink bot­tle covered.

The home of Adelbert Loucus in Conesville was totally destroyed by fire at about two o’clock Monday afternoon. How it started is not

They had left the children, the oldest being 11 years old, a t home, but they can­not give any account of how the fire started . Neighbors in the vi­c in ity of the Loucks home are not very near and help had to be called by telephone. As soon as the alarm was given men hurried to the doom­ed home but the fire had gotten un­der such headway th a t all th a t was saved was two stoves and the or­gan. Every vestige of clothing be­longing to the fam ily, except what they bad on their backs, was burn­ed and there was no insurance on the honsehold goods. Neighbors have taken the fam ily in and are m aking them as comfortable as pos- ! QiiVoaT sible. They are deserving of much sym pathy and help. j

Furnished by Grave and Dignified Military Censors.

Russian Soldier’s Message of Love Went Through With Curious Anno­

tation— Kisses Sent to English Girls by the General Staff.

The rigors of the war-time censor­ship have from time to time drawn the fire of French wit. One lively Parisian journal promises when the war is over to print a long and true story about the tricks devised by soldiers in the field or by prisoners to get some crumbs of information past the official suppressors. Just for the present, however, continues the cheerful Pa­risian editor, a few retrospective anec­dotes must serve—anecdotes culled from the history of other wars belong­ing to the brief period since the cen­sorship was invented. In the Man­churian campaign, for instance, every correspondent in the field was strictly forbidden to send any private letter of any sort. But there was a Russian who got permission on the anniversary of his wedding to telegraph to his wife. “Dearest Marie,” he wrote with Slavic fervor, “I send you ten million kisses,” and the dispatch went out with this solemn annotation at the bottom: “With the shnction of the imperial mil­itary authorities.”

Again, in' South Africa, the young Brj^jph soldiers used to wind up their letter to their sweethearts at home with a :-ow of round marks like an “o”—doubtless meant to signify kfsses. These innocent marks upset the mili­tary censors mightily. Suppose they concealed a treasonable message in code? Finally a more than ordinarily human and intelligent censor hit upon the expedient of making a great many more round marks after the others. That scotched the treasonable cipher if there was one. while supposing there was none, then the girl at home got full measure of what was coming to her. Indeed (remarks the French editor),'m ore than one dear young island thing with a very undemonstra­tive lover down there in the veldt must have been thrilled and surprised to receive a whole avalanche of kisses, nearly all of them, if shd had but known it, the gift of the general staff.

Which- He Believes Disproves® Long-Held Theory.

Professor Pidkering of the Harvard astronomical observatory declares that there is nothing less true than that the moon is vrithout air, water or veg­etation. There are certain large lunar areas that darken toward lunar noon and fade out toward lunar sunBet. They correspond in some degree to the so-called Martian seas, and Pro­fessor Pickering proposes the term “fields” to describe these plains* or slopes, which he believes to be cov­ered with vegetation. He is convinced that the dark fields to be seen during the lunar summer do not owe their b la c k n e s s to sh a d o w , for you c a n s e ethem at full moon when shadows area b s o lu te ly In v is ib le . T h e b lu e-b la ckcolor of the fields and canals, he ar­gues, can therefore be owing only tc & d isc o lo r a t io n of th e s u r fa c e th a lcomes alike on slopes and levels inthe lunar summer, and that i s in v is ible in the spring and autumn. We know of no mineral that acts in that manner, and the only possible explana­tion seems to be that it is the result of a covering of vegetation.—Youth’s Companion.

Humanity.Human life is the same everywhere.

If we could but get at the truth, we shoifld find that all the tragedy and comedy of Shakespeare have been re: produced in this little village. God has made all of one blood; what is true of one. man is in some sort-true of an­other,; manifestations may differ, but the essential elements and springs of action are the same.—Whittier.

Need of Education.Education Is one of the greatest

barriers to crime and poverty. It is, therefore, essential that our children, the coming generation, should Jbe well educated, and that bad eyes, or any other physical or mental defects, should be detected and corrected, in order that the acquirement of an edu­cation may become'as easy, as agree­able as possible.—Exchange.

The Idleness in Cities.One overshadowing reason why

there are so many idle people in the cities is that there i s too much uncul­tivated land in the country. How long will it take the world to learn that there are not enough roller-top desk Jobs to go round, whereas Nature has made it possible fo r all her children to make their food?—Houston Post.

Learn to Forget.Caesar was so ready to forget that

even Cicero, who was by no means a constant friend to him, relates, as sin­gular proof of his noble heart, that he never used to forget anything except the wrong done to him. Indeed, to pardon is a most beautiful revenge; but to forget is still more beautiful.— Petrarch.

“Henry,” said Mrs. Gadsby, “a poor man came to the house this morning: and asked me if I had any old clptheS' to give away, so I—”

“Don’t finish! Don’t finish!” shouted, Mr. Gadsby. “I know exactly what; you did. You went and gave away, one of the best suits of clothes I had1 and probably a pair of shoes I could have worn for twelve months longer,: and a hat and there’s no telling what else, all at a time when I can’t afford to buy anything new!”

“Don’t be so hasty,” said Mrs. Gads­by. “If you had listened to me in­stead of interrupting, you would have saved your breath and kept your temper. The man wanted something for his wife who is a cripple, he said, and I gave him one of my old skirts that I used to cook in.”

“Police, nothin’!” replied the short man. “I called the burglar over and handed him a dollar.”

Explaining “Memory."When you cpeak of others as hav­

ing a good memory, you do not mean that at all. Instead of meaning that the man with a “good memory” has accurately perceived an event in the full ramifications of all its details, and recorded it in his whole human texture ready for reproduction at will, what you really indicate is that he has good power of retention, irrespec­tive of detailed accuracy or faithful­ness of the full recollection.—Dr. Leonard Keene Hirshberg.

NEW STATE LAW I ON NUISANCES

P U B L IC H E A L T H H IN T SPrepared Each Week For the Readers ol This Newspaper by the New

York State Department of Health.

A NEW section of the State Sanitary Code dealing with “nuisances which may affect life and health” goes into,force this week in

' all the towns and villages of New York state. These new regu­lations should make it much easier to secure PROMPT and effective control of unsanitary conditions th a t it has been in the past.

The abatement of nuisances rests primarily with the local Board of H ealth in each town or village. The public health law states that “every such local board shall order the suppression and removal of all nuisances and conditions detrimental to life and health found to existwithin the municipality.” t " i d *

There are man}* kinds of nuisances, some of which are nmreiy offen­sive (having a bad smell or an unsightly appearance, but not likely to cause disease). The new section of the Sanitary Code deaTji only with those which MAY AFFECT L IFE AND HEALTH. I t -.provides that complaints of such nuisances “which may affect health” must be promptly in v e s t ig a t e d by the local health officer and a full.Tepoyt filetjl by h im with the lo c a l board within five days of his receipt of the com­plaint. If his report states that there is a nuisance like|y |p affect h e a l t h w h ic h h a s n o t b e e n abated the local board must promptly meet and take a c t io n , a n d a report of its action must be filed witjk the State Commission of Health within forty-eight hours after its entry. I f the State C o m m is s io n e r deems fu rther action necessary he m a y ! then order the local board to take such action. |

With the copies of this new section of the code the Sta^e Commis­sioner of Health has recently sent a circular letter to the ppsidents of local Boards o f Health which contains a list prepared bj^ihe Public TT„„Hh n — -i t.t “certain of the MORE IMPORTANT conditions,H e a l t h C o u n c il b f a n y o f w h ic h , in i t s o p in io n , may constitute a nuisance LljcLELY TO A F F E C T H E A L T H .” A f e w o f these c o n d i t io n s which m k average c i t i z e n is l ik e ly to c o m e in contact with and to which h e mftyj w e ll c a ll t h e a t t e n t io n o f t h e lo c a l h e a l t h officer are the following: T

Pathetic, Yet in a Sense Dra­matic, Suicide.

“No Work, No Hope, No Use," Wrote California Man Before Swimming

to Oblivion in the Waters of the Pacific.

With $6 and a watch, S. H. Eck- hart, 4012 Compton avenue, Los An- peles, could find no hope in life. So he went out to sea at Venice and no one has seen him come back, and his Clothes and his watch and the $6 were left behind in one of the bathhouse dressing rooms.

No one knows his trade or his iden­tity. He] went to Venice with many others tqr a swim, the surf having Only a minor chill to the seasoned swimmer. Quite a few persons were in the water, but not so many that one was lost in the group.

So when the person who was later identified as S. H. Eckhart, walked from the b a th h o u se to th e stra n d , h e was noticed. Before he had left his room in his bathing suit, Mr. Eck- hardt evidently had summed up his condition in one short sentence.

It read: “No work, no hope, nouse,” and was later found pinned to his clothing behind the locked door. Beside it lay the $6 in currency and the watch that was ticking faithfully.

Not once after he left the shelter of the b a th h o u s* did th e man turn his head. He walked into the watej?, and the whiteness of his skin did not indi­cate a hardened sw im m e r . B u t he didn’t flinch. Above his knees the water came, and when about his waist, and as i t reached his shoul­ders he bent over with his face to sea, and took a breaker.

Farther out he came to the sur­face again, plowing for the open sea. The men on the beach were ‘playing games to keep warm.

S o m e o n e n o te d th e sw im m e r a l i t t le la te r . " Q uite a w a y s o u t,” and th a t w a s a ll th a t w a s sa id .

Not once did he turn his head. To those on land who were getting ready for their warm rubs he grew smaller and smaller. And at last tar out in the distance, where the vagueness of death itself is hinted in the tint where sky meets sea, they saw the small spot bobbing, and a straining eye could see it bobbing again, and then the lit­tle spot, went out to sea, and all that came back, as far as anyone could see, was a sea gull that had some­thing important to tell its mates.

“Placed end on end, 600 barrels would make two piles taller than the ta lle st skyscraper.”

ably has an idea that an inch of rain is a mere trifle on nature’s part. This is. entirely wrong. In reality it is a good big rainfall—more than falls in most places in an average week.

It is five times more rain than fell in New York city during the f46 days which ended On October 15 last, but that was the longest dry period in the history of tbe local weather bureau.

A rainfall of one inch mean literally that the amount of water descending in a particular shower would cover the surrounding territory to a depth of one inch, providing it did not run away or soak into the ground.

An inch of rain coming down op a single acre of land would fill more than 600 barrels of 45 gallons capacity each. This amount of water would weigh more than 110 tons, or nearly A quarter of a million pounds.
