NATURE SPARES
Tie Stricken Bone From Grief.
What a fortunate provision of nature
:t Is, that deprives the rose of mental
sulfering; for how poignant would be Its
<rief to discover. In the height of its
blooming glory, that a canker fed at Its
heart, and that Its beauty and fragrance
were doomed forever. Nature always
spares the suffering; she is a veritable
store-house of pleasing rewards, for
those who seek her aid. In the years
gene by falling hair and grayness have
enst a gloom '•ver the lives of thousands
of young women, but thanks to the in
vest.gaUor.3 of sclentl£t3 the true cause
of hair destruction Is now known to be
a germ or parasite that burrows Into

Hem* Ground Flour.
Grinding wheat to make flour may
be done at borne as easily as the
grinding of coffee. Thus a family may
have whole wheat flour, freshly ground,
a thing that Is usually difficult to ob
tain. The New York Medical Journal
advises Its readers to buy their wheat
from seedsmen rather than from gro
cers or feed storos because it will be
cheaper and more efficient.
The grinder can be used also for
cracking wheat, corn, barley, oats, rye
and other grains for use as breakfast
cereals. And the cereals will need
chewing, which will not only strength
en the muscles of the chewere' jaws,
but will keep their teeth from decay
that Is, If they begin as children.
Homemade cereals need long cook
ing, so a flreless cooker Is almost In
dispensable.
Greek Fire Gunpowder?
M. Zenghelis told the Academie des
Sciences in Paris recently that he had
been studying the "Greek Are" used In
war by the Byzantines. The descrip
tions of this say that It was hurled
from a copper tube with a sound like
thunder and with a great cloud of
smoke. From this he concluded that
the Byzantine Greeks had real cannon
In which they used explosive mixtures
with nitrate as a base. Therefore the
honor of the discovery of gunpowder
must be given to the engineer Calllni
cus of Heliopolis, who first used it, de- ;
