Burning a small piece of gold leaf is a custom observed by the Chinese at ‘certain anniversary celebrations, and it is estimated that gold to the vaiue og $10,000,000 is destroyed annually in this way. This estimate is based on the assumption that each individual of a total population of 440,000,000 burns ,at each of two anniversaries a piece of ‘gold leaf weighing .308 grain, making ‘a total of 271,000,000 grains. A five dollar gold piece weighs 129 grains. A Knight In Topcoats. The late Sir Tatton Sykes, says the Manchester Guardian, had a way of his own of taking his walks comfort- ably. A visitor in the neighborhood of Sledmere would see the baronet set out for his morning round wearing two or ; three overcoats. When he felt warm enough he would take off first one and then another and lay it on the nearest hedgerow. The person who found’an ‘overcoat and returned it to the house always received the reward of a shil- ling, and no doubt the Sledmere boys were willing searchers, Unappreciated. “See, John,” said Mrs. Slathers, with a happy smile, “I have taught the ca- nary every time I come near him to stick out his Uttle bill to be kissed.” ‘iumph!” said Slathers, eying the , bird critically. “Seems to me you ' spend © your time teaching creat how to present their bills fer my atten- tion.

Hopeless. i A woman went to the police station to *nquire about her missing husband. “What is his distinguishing feature?” asked the superintendent. “A large Roman nose,” she answered. “Then he won’t be found,” emphatic- ally exelaimed a policeman, “fer_a nose of that kind*never turns up.”—Pear- son’s Weekly. eerste Hard to Find. “Don't,get down in the mouth, old man,” said the optimist. “Look on the BIG RAIL STRIKE MAY BE AVERTED Confereace at Washington Hopeful of Success. WOULD AMENDERDMAN ACT Both the Railroads and Their Employes Will Accept Arbitration of Congress Passes the Newlands Measure Now Pending in the Lower House. Washington, July 15.—Labor lead. | ers and railroad heads looked toward Washington, hopeful of a favorable outcome of the strike conference with President Wilson. The roads having refused to arbitrate under the Erdman act in its present form and the em- ployes having refused to modify their demands, apparently the only compro- mise possible lay in alteration of the | law by increasing the number of arbi- | trators from three to six, thus meatier ing the railroads’ chief objection to the act. With a strike authorized by an over- whelming majority and ratified by general committees of both unions Presidents W. G. Lee and A. B. Gar- retson of the trainmen and conduc- tors respectively, were authorized to defer calling a walkout pending the outcome of the Washington confer- ence. President Wilson, Secretary Wilson, Chairman Newlands of the senate in- terstate commerce committee, Clayton of the house judiciary committee and Republican Leader Mann represented the government; President Samuel Rea of the Pennsylvania, Daniel Wil- lard of the Baltimore and Ohio, George W. Stevens of the Chesapeake and Ohio, W. C. Brown of the New York Central lines and Frank Trumbull, chairman of the board of the Chesa- peake and Ohio, represented the rail- toads. Presidents Garretson and Lee represented the employes. Concerns Two Measures. The conference between the railroad men and President Wilson concerns chiefly two bills pending in congress for amendment of the Erdman act, pro viding means for arbitration of wage disputes. It 1s understood that both the brotherhoods and the raflroads are satisfied with the. Newlands bill, ‘al- ready passed in the senate, but that the Clayton bill is not as acceptable. Acceptamce by the house of the New- lands bill, which also has been ap- proved by the Civic Federation, un- doubtedly would remove the possibil- ity of a strike. The unions are willing to meet the railways in an effort to settle all dif- ferences by means of arbitration un- der the Newlands amendments to the Erdman act, according to the an- nowmcement of A. B. Garretson and W. G. Lee, heads of the railway train- men. The announcement of the rail- way managers, they said, was a com- plete reversal of their previous declar- ation not to arbitrate. The attitude of the Erie, which with- drew last week from the conference of managers with the statement that’ it would not agree to wage increases under any circumstances, remains un- changed. FIND BODIES IN WRECKAGE Victims Discovered in Ashes of Burned Aeroplane. Versailles, VWrance, July 15.—The charred wreckage of an aeroplane with the incinerated bodies of two aviators lying in the ashes was found near Monacourt, on the railroad from Paris to Granville. The dead flying men were recogniz- ed as a man named Percin, who was experimenting with a new monoplane of his own invention, and his son, who aecompanied him as mechanic. Muehihausen, Germany, July 15.—A young German aviator named Dietrikhs was killed here when his aeroplane overturned and he was crushed be- neath the motor. Racetrack Buildings Burned. Chicago, July 15.—A bolt of light- ning fired)the gramdstand at the Har- Tem (Ill) race course and before the fire apparatus arrived from Chicago every buiiding at the track had been destroyed at a loss of about $50,000. Tp the early nineties the Harlem track was one of the best known in ‘the Midd!e West Gambling raids brought the track into disrepute and it: had not been used for several years, Mai!

[Dart free Pre BEATS OF THE HEART. Sounds That Tell Just How That Won- derful Organ Is Working. Do you know what a doctor hears when he sounds your chest and listens to your heart beating? Your heart, if it is quite sound, makes a noise very like “lub-dup, lub- dup, lub-dup,” all the time. The two syllables come very quickly together. and between each “lub-dup” there comes a pause, the short period when the heart is resting, as it were. The “lub” sound is due to the blood flowing out of the heart, and the “dup” is the closing of the heart's valves. Just by the loudness of these two syl- ; lables the doctor knows if your heart jis working as it should do. Supposing the “dup” is very loud, for instance, that tells him that the valves are being “slammed to,” just as a door jis, and that the pressure is greater than it should be. The cause of this is | Senerally what is known as an “aneu- rism.” If the valves are not closing properly the doctor hears a sound very like “duff” instead of “dup.” The heart is then said to have a “murmur,” and the physician knows what steps to take to correct it. When the first sound, “lub,” is sof- tened into “luff” it warns the doctor ' that his patient has something wrong with the mitral valve, The “lub” BOOST FOR COHASSET sound 1s always very much weaker when one is suffering from fever, and it is this weakness, due to the weak- ness of the heart muscle, which makes the doctor so anxious at those times. When the heart says “luff-duff’ he tells you to knock off work for a time and have a complete rest,. for your heart is in a bad way.— Pearson’s Weekly. Quite Safe. ° “So he accepted a job like that, did he?
