ficials of the incorporated town of Hut
tig:

At the age of three score and
ten nearly every man is rich—in
experience.
Next to a woman the most
changeable thing in the world is
another woman.
Fly swatting time will be here
eventually, but it will be better to
clean up the breeding places of the
pests than to swat all summer.
What we don't know about inter
national law (which is being vio
lated pretty regularly, by the way)
would fill several large volumes,
but it seems to us that the fool
who travels on a boat filled with
munitions and then wants protec
tion from the depredations of a
submarine is a knave as well as a
fool.
This week marks the fortieth an
niversary of the first telephone,
the “toy” which amused people
who visited Philadelphia centen
nial. The “toy” today is closely
allied with our business and social
life as we are ourselves. Without
it w6 would be in a sad way indeed.
It transacts our business, makes
less arduous work for our wives,
brings them and us in closer touch
with our friends, and has even been
known to save lives. The tele
phone is one of the greatest ciyi
lizing forces in the world, and it is
worthy of note that in no country
has it reached such a high develop
ment as in the United States, the
land of its birth.
THE ULTIMATE RESULT.
The ultimate end of the Mexican
business means our participation in
a war in which ALL Mexico will,
sooner or later, be combined
against us. Our start with Villa
ths present objective, is merely
the first steps toward intervention.
We may call it a “punitive exposi
tion” if we will. So was the expo
sition after Aguinaldo in which a
man now active in Mexico, Fred
Funston, distinguished himself.
The capture of the wily Filipino
chief, however, was child’s play
compared with the most notorious
brigand on the face of the earth.
And blood is thicker than water.
Dcwn deep in their hearts the half
breed population of Mexico hate
the American “gringo” with a hate
that smoulders and then flares up.
There is no love for Uncle Sam
socth of the Rio Grande, and there
is little use trying to hide that very
important fact from the people of
ths United States. Things are so
shaping themselves right at this
instant as to indicate a repetition
of what happened over sixty years
ago when General Scott marched
his victorious troops through Santa
Anna’s country and brought that
famous Mexican to his knees.
Mexico, in her present state, can
not govern herself. The de factor
government admits that it is pow
erless to protect itself from its
numerous foes. As the policeman
of the western hemisphere Uncle
Sam had better prepare for the'
task at hand.

RACE MARK IN THE FACE
Subtle Sign of Clanship That May
Have Had ifs Origin Numerous
Centuries Ago.
No eloquence of tongue, nothing that
stands written in any book, may sway
the heart as does that elusive qual
ity—the race mark in a face. And this
is true less of the obvious physical as
pect than of its thousandth secret con
notations. All the world knows the
Hapsburg lip, the jaw line of the Boua
partes; the subtler marks of clanship
Keep their eloquence for their own.
Conspicuously or not, each family
group stands before these symbols as
the small company of the learned
might before some inscription on a
desert ruin. Mere strokes and
scratches to you and me. To the few
who understand here is the key that
unlocks the past.
So the family look. In the arch of
an eye orbit, the curve of chin, we
read the signature of race. Chance
imprints maybe, maybe seal of some
struggle so profound as to have set
our lips at this particular angle, or
through dimming attentions to per
petuate a gesture born a thousands
years ago in joy or in some stark
agony of body or of soul.
The family look. The first we re
member: the last we shall forget.—
Elizabeth Robins in Harper's Maga
zine.
Salt-Water Cataracts.
There are a good many salt-water
cataracts in existence. They may be
found in Norway, southern Chile
and British Columbia, where narrow
fiords, or arms of the sea, are ob
structed by barriers of rock. The ris
ing tide flows over and filters through
such reefs into the great natural res
ervoirs beyond, but the water is held
back at the ebb until it breaks over
the obstruction in an irresistible tor
rent. Most curious of all is the wa
terfall at Canoe Passage, where the
island of Vancouver approaches the
British Columbia mainland. Here the
flood tide from the Gulf of Georgia to
the southward is held back at a nar
row cleft between two islands until it
pours over in a boiling cascade 18 feet
high, with perhaps double the volume
of the Rhine. At the turn of the tide,
however, the waters from the north
rush back into the gulf, producing a
cascade of equal height and volume.
The waterfall actually flows both
ways.
The Cheerful Japanese Ad.
Japanese advertisers, according to
"The Cosmopolitan," in the Boston
Evening Transcript, believe in a lavisn
use of superlatives. "The paper we
sell,” runs the announcement in a To
kyo stationer’s window, “is as solid as
the hide of an elephant.” "Step in
side!” is the call of a big shop in the
same city. "You will be welcomed as
fondly as a ray of sunshine after a
rainy day. Our assistants are as
amiable as a father seeking a husband
for a dowerless daughter. Goods are
dispatched to customers’ houses with
the rapidity of a shot from the can
non’s mouth.”
Remarkable Birth Record.
What is believed to be a record in
childbirth was established recently by
a Mahratta woman In Bhor state, East
India. This woman, at the age oi
thirty-three, gave birth to quintuplets
two males and three females. All
were born alive, but it was not ex
pected they would live, “owing to the
want of nursing.” The same mothei ;
gave birth to three children last year 1
but all died within three months. A !
record of bearing eight children in a
year is believed to be uuequaled in
medical annals.
DIVIDED INTO SIX RACES
Differences in Branches of Mankind
Are Marked—Origin of the
Semitic Peoples.
Sanskrit is the language which was
Bpoken by the easternmost branch of
the Indo-Germanic or Aryan race. It
cannot, therefore, be said whether the
race or the language peculiar to that
race is the elder, probably the former.
The advent of the Celtic Aryan into
Europe is shrouded in mystery. There
are apparently not even traditions of
their time of emigration The Semitic
race is one of the six races of man
kind, and is distinct from the Aryan.
The races are Indo-Germanic or Ar
yan, white, of Europe, America, Per
i sia, India and Australia. The Mongo
lian or Turanian, yellow and brown,
Asia. The Semitic, white, Africa.
Arabia, etc. The negro, black, Af
rica. The Malay or Polynesian, brown,
Australasia. The American Indian,
red, North and South America.
Tho Semites are supposed to be the
descendants of Shem—that is, the
name originated in this way. The term
was not in general use until the first
quarter of this century, though it was
used in Germany as early as 1781. It
is applied to the races akin to the He
brew, such as Arabian, or Assyrian.
Some authorities consider the primi
tive seat of the race to be Africa,
others Arabia, still others the lower
Euphrates. The languages form an
important family, and are divided into
two principal branches, the northern
and southern. To the northern branch
belong the Assyrian and Aramean (or
Syrian), and the Palestinian, (Hebrew
and Phoenician). To the Southern
belong the Arabic and the Ethiopic.
DOG’S CHARACTER A MYSTERY
Owners Unable to Determine Whether
He Is a Detective or Inclined
to Kleptomania.
The Newlyweds out in Crescent Hill
are wondering if Hex is a thief or a
detective.
Rex is a dog, a white, woolly dog,
who 15 minutes after having his hath
looks as if he hadn’t nad a bath for a
week. Rex is not a hunter. He doesn't
know what game looks like. He
doesn’t even chase cats. He is afraid
of other dogs. He is so tractable that
he makes friends with anybody who
pays him the slightest attention. He
would be on terms of intimacy with a
burglar in two minutes.
So it can be seen that Rex’s owners
had good reason for thinking him
good for nothing, even if they did love
him. Now they are wondering wheth
er he is worse than good for nothing
or a valuable retriever.
A few weeks ago Mrs. Newlywed
lost a purse containing $16 in cash.
A long search failed to reveal it, and
it was given up for lost.
Last Sunday Rex walked Into the
house w'ith something in his mouth, j
He laid his quarry on the floor. It
was the purse and the $16 were in
tact.
Now the question at the home of
the Newlyweds is: Did Rex play de- !
tective and rind that money for its
legitimate owners, or did he return it
after carrying it away himself? Rex's
real character promises to remain a
mystery for a long time.—Louisville
Times. i
DIFFER IN SLIGHT DEGREE
Words “Possession” and “Obsession”
Really Have Very Much the Same
Meaning, According to Authority.
Possess and obsess are etymologic
ally related, but usage has given them
slightly different meanings. Both are
from the Latin, and the second syl
lable of both, sess, is from sedere, to
sit; therefore a session is a sitting;
but possession is to sit before or near
a thing as owning it, and obsession is
to be sat upon by it. This is not very
illuminative, hut it serves to mark
different shades of meaning. Yet the
two words are so nearly synonymous
that both have been used to describe
the persecution of a human body by
an evil spirit, though possession means
operating from within and obession
from without. The Bible speaks of
those who were possessed with devils, j
and the Oxford dictionary gives one
of the definitions of obsession as “the
hostile action of the devil, or an evil
spirit besetting anyone; actuation by :
tha de\il or an evil spirit from with
out.” But while the authorities recog- J
nize a technical difference between
possession and obsession as relating
to the devil's operations from within
or from the outside, they do not dif
ferentiate the moral results of the
ca8i>s. Ftvmo’op-icnllv sneaking, there

is'a“shade of difference’ between the
; two words, but the etymological dif
ference is only skin deep, while, mor
ally speaking there is little or no dif
ference between being operated by the
devil from within or worked by him
from the outside. In quoting some ex
amples of the use of obsession as re
lating to evil spirits, the Oxford dic
tionary remarks that, “'These cases
belong rather to obsession than pos
session, the spirits not actually inhab
iting the bodies, but hanging or hov
ering about, them.” Leaving the devil
out of the case entirely and coming to
ordinary affairs it may be said that
while obsess and possess are different
in some meanings they are synony
mous in others.
REMEDY FOR “ROSY NOSE”
Frequently Careful Chewing and a
Pinch of Bicarbonate After Meals
Will at Least Help.
If the nose gets very red after eat
ing. or the skin of the face splotches
In an unbecoming manner, the patient
may be certain that her digestion is
out of order. Careful chewing is the
first requirement for a cure of this
unbecoming flushing, and a little lime
water or a pinch of bicarbonate could
be taken after the meal. At all times
the lean woman should strive to relax
and do things slowly. She should
strive to encourage the Joyous bee in
her bonnet instead of the sorrowful
one. She should eat when she is hun
gry, if it be so often as six times a
day, drink plenty of fresh water, take
sun baths and sleep in a well venti
lated room. When she is on her feet
a warm room will be far more con
ducive to health and plumpness than
a cold one, and if she could get a little
holiday in a genuinely tropical cli
mate she would be still further bene
fited. But a quiet spirit and plenty
of nourishing food and rest are the es
sential things, and if these require
ments are not considered there is not
the least use of going any further.
The travelers who take storm and
stress along with them will never find
the fountain of health and youth, es
pecially if tfiey are tho thin sort.

means the wise spending of one’s money-making every dollar do full duty
and getting in return an article that will satisfy you in every way.
The

is a real bargain because it is sold at a popular
price: because it gives you the kind of sewing
you delight in; because it will turn out the work
quickly and thoroughly and give you a life time
of satisfactory service? because its improvements
will enable you to do things which can’t be done
on any other machine; because it will please you
with its fine finish and beauty of its furniture.
In short you will find the White reliable and
desirable from every point cf view.
