It has come to my knowledge, that a great many of my friends and ac- quaintence are under the impression *hat T am the Brown associated with Huffman under the firm name of Brown, and Huffman.

That on or about August Ist I will move my office from the old post of- fice building to the Security State bank building on the corner of 4th and Beltrami Ave. All business in- trusted to me will receive my indivi- dual and careful attention.

TOMMY. THINK HIGHLY OF LANTERNS Chinese Make Them in Many Attrac- tive Forms, and Pay Big Prices for Them. The shops of the lantern venders in the Chinese cities are wusually very gay and attractive. All varietles of lanterns are to he seen—the large sitken ones 8 and 4 feet high, gor- geously painted with variegated colors, embroidered in gold and silver or dec- orated with deep fringe of the same material, and common small horn and paper lanterns used by the coolfes, ac- cording to the P’hiladelphia Inquirer. The mode of making horn lanterns is very ingenfous; the horns are cut in- to remarkably thin slices. which, by means of heat and pressure, are Joined together and formed into vari- ous shapes—round, square, hexagon, octagon and some shaped to resemble an hour glass, It is usual tor servants after sun- set to carry befare their masters large lanterns made either of horn or high- | Iy varnished paper, with the name, title and dignities painted in large let- ters thereon. At the Feast of Lanterns, which takes place in the early part of the Chinese New Year, these lantern shop | proprietors reap a rich harvest, as it is customary for parents to make presents of lanterns to their children, ! brother to sister, friend to friend, in- | ferfor to superior, and vice versa. Via Iceland. The desire’ that centuries ago made men look to the North for cloxer con- nection between the eastern and west- ern hemispheres may soon he realized by the shipment of Canadian grain from Port Nelson, iIn Hudxon bay, to Relkjavie, Iceland. there (o be stored in warehouses for trans-shipment to Surope. The ancient Icelandle capi- tal. dating back to the coming of the Northmen In the ninth century, will thus become an important link in the international commerce. Hudson bay 1s unfrozen during about five months, and the gri where navigation is practically always open with Kurope. can he forwarded as needed. The plan shortens the rail- way haul of grain moving from the new to the old world by about a thou- sand miles; and the grain ships cros ing the hay will travel a twentieth i century version of the new ronte for commerce which the old navigator, Henry Hudson, was seeking in the early seventeenth.

Certaln bats appear to have found their hpoklike thumbs and hind feet | insufficient for suspension and have made use of the suction principle for this purpose. This mode of suspen- slon has been developed independently in two distinct bats, one & native of Brazil and the other of Madagascar. In the Brazilian species the suckers take the form of stalked discs attacii- ed to the palms of the thumbs and the | | soles of the feet. The suckers of the Malagasy specles are horseshoe like. i By means of the suckers these bats are able to ascend vertical surfaces. Very curfous it is to note the similar- ity between the suckers of these bats i and those on the arms of the cuttie- Bshes. First Fake Beards. The Jews were responsible for the Arst false beards that were ever worn, so far as known, They did not wear them themselves, but they caused the Egyptians to do so. The. Egyptians ! had long gone with smooth faces, but | when the Jews came over to stay with them, the peopte of the Nile quiekly absorbed the idea that a bearded man was associated with strength, nobility of character and perhaps prowess. So it quickly came about that whenever the Egyptians wanted to hold a cele- bration in which certain persons were to be exalted, the objects of pognilar i acelalm wore false beprds. HERE BIRDS FIND SANCTUARY | Area in Delta of Yuken River, Value- less for Other Purposes, I1s Now Profitably Employed. The most important, and by far the largest in exteat, of our national i “refuges” for the preservation of wild birds is a vast area in the delta of the Yukon river, proclaimed as such by an edict from the White House just ten years ago. It is an area approximately equal to Mussachusetts, and the most valu- able feather species concerned are wild geose and wild ducks, which breed there in countless nambers, There is found the proper home of the “emperor” goose, the “white- fronted” goose, and many species of ducks which are sought as game in other latitudes. The reglon is known as “tundra v countryt-—devold of trees, swampy, with many lakes, and of no possible usefulness for agriculture or any oth- | er purp 1f, however, the wildfowl | are there safeguarded on their breed- {ing grounds, it will he a permanent souree of game and food supply for | | Alaska and the entire Pacific coast. ! In order that this may come to pass, it Is necessary that the birds shall be P protected during the mating season against the wholesale slaughter which formerly was conducted hy pot-hunt- ers and alleged sportsmen from year to year—a method commonly adopted being to drive the helpless creatures | | into pens built for the purpose. where they were ruthlessly murdered. i | French Train Operation Poor. The French method of train opera- tion differs sharply from the Ameri- san. In the United States it Is cus- tomary to move the trains by means of the block signal system, under the ! orders of train dispatchers, In France | the chef de gare, a sort of sublimated | station agent, is supreme. He is in ab- | solute charge of all trains that pns” through his station and of the allot- | ment of cars within his district. A ! through train having reached his sta- ! tion, it cannot leave without his per- mission. This practice brings about | such a condition that fewer trains are operated over a KFrench double-track . line than could be handled over an iAmerlcun single-track line equipped { with block signals and dispatchers. r— e e Do Not Throw Away That Pair of Shoes | WM.

The act of a fishing smack off Eye- mouth, Berwickshire, England, brought to the top of the sea recently a long dead memory. A blue Delft saucer, | deeply incrusted with barnacles, lay among the flopping fish in the net, and it bore a picture of one of the old British coasting and salling vessels, with the words “Eclipse, Ldn. and Edinboro, Shipping Coy.” Now, the Fclipse was lost at sea 108 years ago. No one survived, no bodies were thrown up, no wreckage definitely Identified with the lost schooner was ever washed against Yet, over a centurt Iater, a china saucer is recovered! TIts blue, accerd- ing to reports, had taken on a won- derfully deep shade, tinged with | green, and was very beautiful. The London and Edinburgh Ship- the relic for about %30 of our money and gave that sum to the RBritish Red Cross. The saucer was sent to the British mukeum. S S “Imka.” “Imka” {& the name by which the Y. M. C. A. is known in Czecho-Slo- vakia, for “lmka" is the reasonable pronunclation of those four letters in the langunge of the mid-European land. The lmka is very popular. When the republic of (zecho-Rlovakia was established, Its citizens who had re- turned from fighting with the silies urged that the hinka, with its eanteens, hut cervice, athletics and recreantion, be invited to come with them., The invi- tation wax given and now the lmka has been developed on an army basis with centers in ten towns and is con- templating establishing a center in the famous coal mine region of Teschen, which is the hone of contention he- tween the new republic and the Poles. As this new republic is said to hold the world’s record for literacy. only 1 per cent being uRable to read or write, the American “Y" secretaries find splendid co-operation in their ac- tivities. Plea for Dogs. The first week that Representative Venable of Mississlppi was in congress a couple of yvears ago he made a hun- dred-and-fifty-word speech about a dog he used to own, and he still is getting letters telling him what a fine speech it was. The speech was a plea for pre- paredness, in which he pointed out that lutle dogs always are in hot water, but that mastiffis have only a minimum of difficulties and can enjoy afternoon slestas and such.

Wood I8 now being converted by a new process into a substitute for ab- sorbent cotton—a product which is be- ing supplied to the government by one mill at the rate of several tons a day. This absorbent wood is of great value in covering and stanching open wounds. The wood is ground up and then spun or rolled out into pute white sheets resembling cotton batting, and s so light and bulky that only about 4,000 pounds of it can be packed in an ordinary hox car. This substance costs U8 cents a pound. Sandbag Exercises. ' New exercises for home and gym- pasium use, which can be employed in place of either dumbbells or Indian clubs, consist of long, slender sand- bags of any desired weight, which are wade of durable fabric and provided with rope handles at either end. On the sidex of the webbing are loops into which the feet can be inserted for leg exercisies. Besides serving the purpose of several types of exercisers, it is pointed out that the sandbags are pref- erable to Indian clubs andy dumbbells in that they can be used noiselessly. No Jazz There. A dance given at Albert hall recent- Iy in London and patronized by all the nobility. including Queen Mary and Queen Alaxandra, had upou its pro- gram fox-trots and other dances of the kind <o popular before the war, but ! FEugland is said to bhe dancing mad, but that the dancers do not tahe kindly to this latest Amer- fean dunee, although American dances are ns i general thing very popular.
