Prehistoric Japanese Canoe. =; Workmen engaged in the dry river bed of the Namazue-gawa, Osaka pre- fecture, have unearthed a huge canoe made of camphor wood. It has not yet been completely uncovered, but the part so far dug out measures over 40 feet In length, 6 feet in width and 26 inches in depth. There are traces of the canoe having been colored blue. According to archeologists the canoe “ Ys about one thousand years old, and though several .similar canoes have been discovered in ¥arious parts of the country, nothing like the present one in size has been found.—East and {West News, = "> . eS BY PAUL PURMAN like hand? If so lay it on the picture and compare it to Everett Seott’s Have you a big ham-like maul? Then try it out with Louis Guisto’s. Everett Scott, Boston Red Sox shortstop has the smallest hand in baseball. Whether or not. it has anything to do with his play. ing or not Seotty doesn’t claim to know, but nevertheless it stands | that Scotty, either on account of his hands or in spite of them is about the best shortstop in the big leamies, The ponderous mitt of the Cleveland Ttalian first baseman is said to be the largest in the big leagues since Larry McLean went into the movies. Louie himself is no svelt sylph- like person, and his meat hooks resemble the rest of him.

The teacher had been telling the pu- pils about the great forests, parti larly the pines, and had asked if any. fone could tell which of the pines had the sharpest needles, Johnny, in. the front row, raised his hand and on being asked, said, “Lhe porcupine.” ¢ In Damp Weather. Tiano kk are wont to stick in damp weather, especially when the instru- Iment is an old one. In almost every a the sticking will not be between but along the front. This can ied with little trouble, Take a thin knife and work a little corn starch between the keys and the front board and they will slip easily. i Yankees which ;may carry with it the desposition of Bill Donovan as manager of the club, potentially on of the strongest in the league at the start of the season and Fred Clarke is making $125,000 this year off the Kansas farms! raising wheat, which $125,000} more than a whole bevy of ball-; players we know make in a life-| lime raising cain. i | When Al Mamaux left the Pi-| rates he returned to the eiub) ‘house to get his taleum powder} Perhaps when he got outside he found his nose was shiny.

A Le — ———Keo«O«_— Earning a Living. It can never be said of the farmer who earns a good living that he doesn’t get it, nor of the farmer who h is now barely holding on to fifth place. Col. Jacob Ruppert, one of the elub owners, is said to be on the war path, and if he is he eannot be mueh blamed af He and Capt.

It is understood that Rup- ‘per would willingly part with any ‘members of his club except Baker Pipp, Walters and Peekinpaugh. Phil Ball has been quoted to the; effect that he would trade’ or sell jany player on his club, exeepting Sisler. There are some fine ballplayers ,in both lots, fellows like Pratt, ‘Shotten and Sloan of the Browns jand Hendryx, Gilhooley and Mai- sel of the Yankees who might be benefitted by such a change. JUST MAKE A FRESH START it Is Only Way to Remedy Mistakes One Has Made as Past Cannot Be Lived Over Again. Now and then a man pauses to take account of stock, and looks back rue- fully over the course of his life to note the many places where he made the wrong turn or was shoved off the track by adverse circumstances. He says to self, believing what he says, that if he could retrace his steps and take a fresh start, knowing what he knows now, he would not make such a mess of things again, He can put his finger down on the very spot in the map of his life where he went wrong. There a blurred place on the trail, where any who passed that way and no mark gets a good living that he doesn’t earn It. Both do L®th. of the woodm: wX upon a tree. It was for him algne to choose th Ghd Ny MAS? wad Tever-to arrive he chose wrong, and has wan- dered ever since. A man plays a game, or runs a race, or conduct! business, or marries a wife, or chooses a friend, or elects a calling, or forms a habit—and by and by the conviction is borne in upon him, h weighing on the brain, in error. Now it is too late the Philadelphia Led- He must wear for the remainder the millstone due to the is jon. What is he todo? He ‘hance new-born, He ex- birthright for pottage.

The years and the closed doors and the finished ‘chapters tell-him no. But the forward look and the futur- ity provide him with a better way to take. When Mrs. Peterkin, in the story, had spoiled her cup of coffee by put- ting salt in it and was trying to re- deem the error, by the neutralizing ac- ; tion of all sorts of chemicals, the lady , from Philadelphia suggested that she | make a fresh cup.

Offered to Transfer One.of his Heavy- weight Ensigns to Make Room for Extra Equipment. When a squad of civilian volunteers went on a battleship training cruise, Lieut. F. H. Roberts one day told them about service with the destroyers, “No special attempt,” he told the volunteers, “is made in selecting the men to serve in torpedo craft, wheth- er they are fat men or lean men, short men or tall men, The character and spirit are developed by association af- ter their arrival. As a rule, they ‘are older than the men on the battleships, “You all know that one of the char- feteristics of a destroyer is ability to make high speed. To this-end-it has always been the policy of the naval constructors to keep fittings of the 1 strong but of light weight. No nees were ever lost by the naval constructors in lightening the destroy- they considered unnecessary.” To illustrate: A flotilla of destroy- ers was dispatched from the Atlantic coust to the Philippines via San Juan, the Azores, the Mediterranean, the Suez canal, Indian ocean and the West It so happened that on one of these destroyers the commanding. officer was a man weighing 230 pounds, His two assistants, both then ensigns, each weighed well-over 200 pounds, Out of of them were heavyweights, and in the rest of the crew were two others of the same avoirdupois, ! Upon arrival in the Philippines the | weather was -hot and sultry, the sun | keeping the decks of the vessel warm, adding another torment, The vessel's original allowance list had included one electric fan, so the | commanding officer submitted a requi- | sition requesting that a fan be tur. | h compartment in which the crew! were quiurtered, a total of five fans. The request in due time reached; Washington, and some three months later was returned disapproved as the bureau did not wish to add any un-; necessary weight to the vessel for fear of_reducing its speed. Nothing daunted, the commanding officer returned the requisition with a statement thereon of the weights of himself, his two commissioned assist- and requested that one of these heavy- weights be transferred and that a man weighing about 150 pounds be sent in his. place. 2. The fans were forthcoming and no- body was transferred. Since that time electric fans are among the few com- forts found on destroyers, Effects of Fear. The coward,on the field of battle dies many times whether death comes to him or not. Not only on the ficld of battle do men suffer fearsome deaths but in various walks of life. Their fear of failure makes weaklings of them, just as the fear of disease renders them fit subjects for it. It was. not long since that some thoughtless companions of a young lady who had a horror of smallpox told her that she had been exposed to the dis- ease and pointed to some innocent red splotches on her face as evidence that she was taking it. For days and nights she suffered from pain and fever and mental anguish. Upon learning the! facts in the ¢: the physician assured her that she had not been exposed to the disease and that there were no symptoms of it. She thereupon took a turn for the better and rapidly re- gained her health. This is but one of the constantly re- curring instances Of:the effects of fear! on the mind and through it on the| body. Shark Fishing Season. The best season for catching sharks seems to be during the cooler months from October to March. Fishermen say that sharks are not so plentiful at other times of the year. The flesh, fins, maws, jaws and other bones, livers and skins all enter into the commerce of Aden, which is! the center of the shark-fishing indus- try. The fresh meat of the smailer| sharks is sold regularly in the fish bazaar at very reasonable prices to the poorer classes of natives who cannot afford other sorts of fish, The meat is strong, but is said to be quite palat- able when one is accustomed to eat- i hands and pi shark’ meat are™the “Arabs, although the native Jews and Somalis also use it. The Somali and Arab are Moham- medans and their religion forbids eat- ing the flesh of any fish that has not scales, However, the working classes of natives are so poor that shark meat is the pnly sort of.fish they can afford, Don’t Use: Rhubarb Leaves, Because rhubarb leaves contain; cer- tain substances which make them pol- sonous to a great many Persons, spe- ciglists of the United States depart- ment of agriculture warn housewives against using this portion of the plant for. food. A number of letters have been received by the department call- ing attention to the fact that certain newspapers and magazines are advo- cating the use of rhubarb leaves for greens, and that disastrous results have followed the acceptance of the advice, : : Pure Kaolin Is Rare, Pure kaolin or China clay fs rare, It is mined in parts of Alabama, Del- aware, Georgia, Massachusetts, North Carolina, Peunsylvania, South Caro- lina, Florida, Missouri, Tennessee and several other states...

Ball clay is mined in New Jersey, Kentucky, Missouri, Colo- rado and Florida. Brick clay of goad quality is found‘in nearly every state in the Union.. A very plastic clay, known as gumbo, is found in the Southern states. Simple Instructions. Reginald hought an eyening tle, and, wishing to be immaculate, asked the shop assistant to tell him the correct way to tie a bow. “Well, sir,” said the obliging assist- ant, “you hold the tie in your left hand and your collar in the other, Slip your neck in the collar and cross the left- land end of the tie over the right with the left hand, steadying the right end with the other hand. Then drop both ends, catching the left with the right and the other with the other. Reverse up the loose end with the nearest hand. Pull this end through the loop with your. unengaged hand and squeeze. “You will find the bow tied, and all you have to do is to dis- entangle your hands.’—Rehoboth Sins day Herald.

The tctal known catch of tilefish for the drst half of 1917, as reported: to the United States bureau of ‘is! eries, was 4,556,385 pounds, for which the fishermen received $247,087. ‘The quantity for the correspending perisa in 1916 was 4,000,000. pounds of an’ un- Getermivable valine. z Finds Volcano Is Hottest at Top. Notwithstanding what the old text- books say, it now appears that 2 vol- cxno. is hottest on its surface. the. conclusion. drawn by. a scientist who has made extensive investigations in craters in Hawaii and has obtained miples of gases and lava before they ached the air, Laboratory studies of these samples make it appear that much of the heat required to keep an open lava basin in fluid condition ts supplied by the chemical action of the ga From these investigations the ientist concludes that’ in times of t activity. the temperature at the rface of a volcano undoubtedly: is higher than that below-the surface, Gun Gotton.

Then Sieep for a few minutes in a cold mix- ture of one part of concentrated nitrie acid and three of oil of vitriol, then Squeeze, and again place in a fresh acid mixture and leave for 48 hours. Then squeeze and wash for a long time with running water, and finally steep in a solution of potassium carbonate.
