In ancient China a man suffering from toothache proceeded in this wise: 1‘He repaired to the Chinese doctor, who jwas armed with a lot of sharp imeedles of various sizes and lengths, iand his method of treatment was jand still is known as acupuncture. “This operation consisted of the inser- ition of these needles into various parts lof the body, the choice points of se-. llection being 26 for toothache and six others for inflammation of ‘the gums. {The depth to which the needles were inserted is said to have been an im- portant point !n the operation. This puncturing was. assoclated with cau- terization. . . \ . Bees Swifter Than Pigeons. There is a storysto.the effect thfit a farmer in Westphalia laid a wager ‘[that 12 bees of his, released at a dis- tance of three miles from their hives, would travel as rapidly as a like num- ber of pigeons over the same course. The first bee,” properly powdered for purposes of identification, did, as a _matter of fact, arrive at its hive a quarter .of a minute before the com- ing of the first pigeon to its cote; and ithere were three other bees that came ‘in before the second- pigeon arrived. \ Youthful Cattle Raiser. Little Edwin, age seven, lives on a farm in Grant county. It has been for some-time his father's custom to sell calves to a neighboring farmer when they were about three days old. The -other day little Edwin was in- structed to g to the home of the neighbor, and tell him that 3 calf would be ready for him the following day, and that it was a “bull calf.” With an air of great. importance the young farmer dellvered -the following message: My father told me to tell you that éur bull has a new calf, and you can’have it wdmorrow !"—Indian- apolis News. ® \ “MONEY TO FRANCE Parls. (By Mail.)—Italy, “beyond the Alps? to Napoleon, lies within the Alps to the France of today. This is not the geographical per- version it seems to be, The rich val- 1éys beyond the mountains ~meant wealth to Bonaparte—the scenery and the water-power of the Alpine barrier itself spells weath to modern rahce. = The scenic value of the Alp§ has long brought riches to France. The growing exploitation of winter sports in the mountains is adding to the summer_income. ‘And now, short of coal, France is again turning to her mountains for aid. America develop- ed her water power: first and i3 now beginning td exploit her scenery. In Francg th¢ revetse is-true.— The. glaclal rivers which .2bount in the French Alps are being enslaved. ' Torrents are being brought in huge pipe lines down the sides of the moun- tajns and even through them by, tun- néls_until the traveller, .amazed at the streams of wuter spurting out of solid rock, begins to wonder if Moses didn’t lead the children of Israel thru the French Alps instead of thru Syria. Already in the Usines @Girod _in Ugines the French have the only steel mill in Europe operated entirely by hydro-electrie_power. Factories for the making ol acetylene and other products are scattered along the riv- ers. Only a beginning has been made but that beginning is being followed up.. “‘White coal,” as the French term- water power, bids fair to selve the fuel problem of France. TALL BUILDINGS - CAUSE You may learn many interesting things "about ajr currents and the way storms develop by watching the movement of pieces of paper, or per- haps your hat, as it is whirled about the street. ‘A variety of miniature wind sterms are developed by the high buildings of our cities or the forms of streets, which well repay. careful study. On a hot day even when the air is perfectly quiet the atmosphere, as it . becomes hedted tends to rise against ‘the sides of rocks or buildings, -and if it travels far enough will develop in a strong wind, which descends on the ‘oppo- site side and plays queer-pranks. A small whirlwind is often produced by the action of wind against a corner formed by several buildings. As the wind travels down a street again, ec- pecially a narrow one, it rapidly in- creases in velocity. A little will spill into the side streets=but the main stream will flow on gathering mo- mentum. Watch the wind strike against the side of a high building and notice how it mushrooms out on all sides, splitting into many aid cur- rents and trace these till they come to rest, but be sume to hold tightly to your hat m the meantime.—Au- gpst Boys’ Life. = QUIT MEAT WHEN " KIDNEYS BOTHER Take a Glags of Salts If Your Back Hurts or Bladder Troubles You No man or woman wno eats meat ‘regularly can make @ imstake by flushing ‘the kidneys occasionally, gays a well-known -authority.

P R T U S A Fine Tune {Will Live. \Probnbly the majority. of -church- goers will agree with the vicar of Well- ingborough in hisxrefusal to allow the church bells of his parish to ring out “Tipperary” in honor of the great ‘peaces~for in these matters: one must of course draw thé line somewhere. Yet, when the vicar asks: “It “Tipperary’” why not “Tommy, Mike | Way to the north. Room for Uncle? ” the analogy is not | very.apt. Both songs, it is true, are not—weil, classical music. But the glorious associations of “Tipperary” have raised it far above such criticism; and though the famous tune may never reach the height -of a church belfry, it is, nevertheless, likely to go' down to posterity .as the immortal “Mar- sefllaise”- of the 01d Contemptibles.— London . Chronfcle. Happy on His Way. b In one of the Indianapolis schools recently the teacher announced to her pupils that ‘they . would -study China during the afterncon, and told the children to bring various products of ' the country.. Very excitedly a little chap rushed into the grocery store.and told the grocer to give him a nickel's worth of sassafras, as he was to study China at school, and the grocer told him she must have said Indiana, but he gave him Gunpowder and Imperial mixed, instead of.the good old Hoosier product, and sent.him happily on his way. = A One-Funnel €unarder.
