LONDON’S QUEER MARKET. | All Its Wares Are Strewn Upon the}! Cobbled Pavements. | There are many queer markets scat-/ tered over the face of the globe, but London, among its many other unique | s, is the proud possessor of perhaps the strangest and most extragrdinary of them all. At the Caledonia market, Islington. whence the great metropolis draws a} large proportion of its meat supply, the | cobbled pavements, with their count- less rows of white fenced pens, are usually given up to the display of fat stock, but Fridays “a change comes} oer the spirit of the dream.” The) eobbled pavements ure there, the white pens stil! break up the wide expanse. | but no cattle or sheep are to be seen. | On that @ay the great market is giv-| en over to a throng of miscellaneous| traders, whose wares provide the most amazing contrasts imaginable. There is nothing in the whole gamut of hu- man devi and needs which one may not come ‘oss displayed in some odd collection set forth on the cobblestones. The traders use few counters or stalls. Each of them, whether be has a stock + worth three or four hundred pounds or a few rusty old bolts and spindles} which one wight reasonably expect to purchase for a shilling or two, dumps his wares oi the pavement of the mar- ket. Moreover, at this remarkable place there are markets within mar- kets, each taking its regular turn and place duri’ . the day and then packing up and viuishing. The market was opened by Prince Albert, Queen Victo- tia’s cons: t, about sixty years ago.— Wide World Magazine. | | Lawn Bowls. Bach player is provided with two Balls gayly colored, a little larger than tennis balls. A white ball called Jack is first thrown to the end of the lawn. The players who statid at this end aim to send their balls so they may lie as close to the white ball as possible Sides and colors are chosen. The side whose balis are nearest to the white ball counts one point for each ball so placed. Seven, fourteen or twenty-one makes a game, as agreed upon before inning. The art of bowling in this play con- gists in knocking away the opponent's baile from their positions near the Jack or in striking the Jack Itself from among them; also in bowling mearer than any other without dis- turbing one’s own balls. This game does not require much apace, but the ground must be level, grass short and well mowed. Girls and even women enjoy this olay. Atmospheric Voids. Waves, eddies and vortices are much more common in the air than has been generally supposed. Showing this to the British Aeronautic society, Colonel i. EB. Rawson described eddies that, - especially near mountains, descend sometimes with hurricane force and _ may cause the so called “holes in the air.” HELPFUL HINTS FOR HOUSEWIVES Utensil For Cooking Pre- serves In Jars. * Some housewives in cooking their preserves perform that operation in the jars or cans in which they (the preserves) are to be kept. Unfortu- nately when the water boils vigorous- + ly it sometimes upsets the jars and spills their contents in the boiler. A Nebraska woman has designed a cook- ing utensil which prevents this acci- dent. Two rings of different diame ters, for different size jars and cans, and flat, perforated plate make up the equipment. One of the rings acts as a support for the plate, and on top of the plate the other ring sits and forms a guard for the jar, to prevent it up setting. The water can boil freely through the perforations in the plate. and this little platform keeps the top of the jar above the top of the water. 80 none can get into it. AUTO VICTIM’S SON KILLED St. Paul Boy Meets Death While Coasting. Henry Winkel of St. Paul, fifteen years old, was injured fatally when he threw himself from his coasting sled against an automobile driven by Clar- ence V. McGeary. The boy’s father, Mathew Winkel, was killed in an auto accident on Nov. 25. The injuries received by father and son were alike, as was the hour of the accidents. Each died within an hour after being taken to St. Luke’s hospital. According to witnesses the accident was unavoidable. It is said that the driver of the car took every precau- tion and that the boy’s action in try- ing to pass the vehicle resulted in his | WAYS WITH MINT. ® NT has many medicinal. quali- ties.

Candied Mint Leaves.— The leaves are first washed clean and dried by patting with a soft cloth, then dipped in a sirup made of one pound of loaf sugar and one-half cupful of water, boiled until it threads. After dipping place on marble slab or waxed paper and with a nut pick carefully spread out the leaves and leave to dry. Whep sealed from the air will keep a long time. A Jelly With Meat.

NEW LIFE FOR THE MUSCLES. This System Is Simple, Gives Help Where Help Is Needed, Takes but Ten Minutes Night and Morning and Increases Strength and Vitality. This is a synopsis of the preliminary setting up exercises used by the trainers of the various athletic teams, which { tested personally when captain of the Yale athletic team, and which were ap~ proved by the late Mike Murphy. I have adapted them for use by business men. SAMUEL SCOVILLE, JR. Get up! That’s the hardest part. Then cross a pair of two pound dumb- bells, holding them with both hands up over the head, and swing them down between the outspread legs, then up until they are shoulder high and swing straight out to one side as far as possible, holding the arms stretched out straight and stiff. Go back again down between the legs and up and out the other side. If you don't have the dumbbells clasp the hands and do it without. . : This is the famous “liver squeeze,” which Sandow orce said helped more muscles than any other single exercise. Moreover, it helps the muscles that need help. Even the most sedentary man exer- cises his arms and legs somewhat. Few after middie age ever exercise the great trunk muscles that cover the vital parts of the body. That is the reason so many men past forty are ruptured and suffer so easily from strained or rheumatic backs and sides. That is one reason. too, for dyspepsia. The blood is never flowed across the stomach and back as it should be. The liver squeeze stretches and strengthens the muscles of the lower and upper back and the great flat muscles across the breast and abdomen, and, as its name implies, stimulates and increases the blood supply of the digestive or- gans underneath these vital muscles. Do this exercise every morning and night five times, if you are over forty, ten times if under, for a week. Then add one a day to the number until it reaches thirty. That is enough for the average man. In two weeks you will find that your stomach and back are hardening, that your appetite has in- creased and that your digestion is bet- ter. After the liver squeeze and after | each exercise take five long, slow breaths, holding for a moment and breathing out slowly. Breathe right down to the bottom of the lungs or, rather, right up to the little upper cor- ners that are so seldom inflated in everyday life and where the fatal tu- berculosis bug always gets its first foothold. , Then lie down flat on the bed with the legs hanging over the side and slowly raise them, without bending. straight up and down again. Put one hand on the stomach and see how the abdominal muscles come up in hard ridges. This is the “melter.” so called | because it melts the fat off the stom-! ach. Five times every morning and | night is. enough for the first two weeks. Then add one a day until it.; too, runs up to thirty. This is the great weight reducer and is used by all athletes to get into condition and take off “slush.” as the trainers call | | the fat that gathers so quickly and in- | sidiously over the stomach. After this exercise and the five deep breaths stand with the stomach in. chest out and arms straight out at right angles to the body, shoulder high, and make each dumbbell describe a small circle, kneading the shoulders pack. This is part of the military setting up exercises to insure a good carriage. The average man works over a desk all day and long before he is fifty stoops at the shoulders. Twenty times every morning and night is enough for the first two weeks. Then increase it slowly up to a bhun- dred. The last of the exercises is for the neck muscles. which never get any ex- ' ercise and often let the head sag for- ward. Clasp the hands back of the head and bend the head until the chin touches the breast. Then push the head back against the pull of the hands, keeping the chin down. Do it the same number of times as the setting up ex-| ercise. and in a few weeks you will be looking the world in the face again. All of these exercises should. of course. be done before an open window or on a sleeping porch. If possible do them stripped. This gives the skin an air bath and hardens it so that it can resist cold and colds. After these exercises take a cold Sponge or tub bath and drink one glass of cold water. Get up early ! enough to walk at least a mile on your way to work and again on your way home. On either walk don’t think of business. Relax your mind, watch the people you meet or, better still, get some friend to walk in and out with you. This prescription is to be mixed with eight hours of sleep daily. . These exercises take less than ten minutes. and you can't use twenty of the daily 1,440 to better advantage. Try this system for three weeks and see what an increase of power and vi- tality there is and how much easier it is to think and work and play with a helping instead of a hindering body.— New York Tribune. i Pure Sugar.

Neverthe- bss it is true that fish are “caught” with no. other “tackle” than an ordi- nary ax, x Along the coves of fresh water lakes and ponds in the winter. especially when the first new ice has formed a transparent covering. it is possible to. secure a number of good sized fish by means of an ax alone. These “tisher- men” wear the heavy felt boots of the lumbermen, from which the rubber shoes are removed when they reach the ice.” A bright sunshiny day is needed for this sort of fishing. In many of these coves and especially in such coves us are filled with rushes and wa- ter lilies in the summer pickerel, pike and other members of that fish family come to the surface of the water and rest within an inch or so of the ice. As far as known they do this to get in the sunlight, just as they sometimes float motionless near the surface of the water in the summer. ‘The ax fisherman in his noiseless felt boots walks slowly over the transpar- ent ice looking for these fish. They seem to think that the ice affords a protection, and they are not usually frightened away. When the unsports- manlike “fisherman” sees a fish near the surface he steals up and hits the ice a resounding whack with his ax. Nine times out of ten the fish will be seen to turn belly upward and lay mo- tionless.. The secret of this is that the impact of the ax on the ice has forced the water aguinst the fish’s head with sufficient pressure to stun him. The fisherman hastily chops a hole through the ice, reaches in and pulls out his fish.—Detroit: Free Press. * ANCIENT ARTIFICIAL LIMBS. Iron and Wooden Hands and Legs and Plaster and Silver Noses. There is in the museum of the Royal College of Surgeons, Lincoln’s Inn Fields, London, an artificial leg, made about 300 B. C., of bronze, wood and iron. Who has not heard of the fa- mous “Iron Hand" made in Nurem- berg, Germany,-in 1504, for the Ger- man knight. Goetz von Berlichingen? Among the old time Indians ears, noses and lips of plaster were quite common. one of their ordinary punishments be- ing to cut, off these useful parts of the human anatomy. Greek and Roman veterans whe had lost a leg or an arm in the wars used to replace them by substitutes and Plinius speaks of a Roman veteran soldier who—about 150 years B. C.—was famous for the wood- en hand with which he was still able to fight as an able swordsman. In 1604 the Duke of Brunswick had to use an artificial hand. Artificial limbs with movable joints were also largely made by the famous Ambroise Pare—-1517 to 1590—the cele- brated French surgeon known as “the father of French surgery.” He was surgeon to Henry IJ.—1552—and also to Francis H., Charles IX. and Henry Ill. Later on Father Sebastian, a Car- melite monk, was renowned for the manufacture of movable arms and hands. About the middle of the sev- enteenth century Falcinelli, a Flor- entine surgeon, mentions artificial eyes of gold, silver and crystal painted in different colors. He also describes gold and silver ears which were either tied to the head with strings or else sewed on the skin of the scalp by the aid of gold and silver wire. Silver noses, too, are spoken of as having been in use for a long time. Trapped. His Wife—I met our maid Anna just. now on the street, and she pretended not to see me. Her Husband—You ought to point out to Anna the impropriety of such. conduct. His Wife—But how can I?

A Divided Village. In the readjustment of boundaries after the Franco-Prussian war the lit- tle village of La Schlucht was. divided between the two nations. France and Germany meet in the middle of the main street, and as the boundary line follows a slanting course it is possible for a French and a German soldier to pose for a joint photograph, each re maining within his own territory. Fulton’s Power of Thought. Robert Fulton possessed to a remark- able degree the power of concentrated thought. He studied French, Italian and German and acquired a proficiency in the three languages. Higher mathe matics, physics, chemistry and perspec tive also demanded his attention as he progressed in scientific research.

For testing the germinating qualities of seeds quickly an Iowa man has patented a cabinet something like an incubator, warm moisture rising through the walls and dropping on the seed trays. An ultra modern German institution, the purpose of which is to counteract the evil of haste in the modern busi- ness world, is the “slumber saloon,” where sixty bunks for noonday naps are provided. The chief industries of northern Citrus fruits also do well. Up to the present there has been but little min- eral development. The integrity of afternoon tea in England has been threatened by some unscrupulous members of the house of commons, who have orderec steaks: and heavy food at the hour when the aroma of tea should hold its own. A machine has been perfected which pours any dry powder into a paper bag, folds the bag, makes a paper box and places bag and a folded circular Within it, pastes on a label and seals the box at a rate of 1,500 boxes an hour. To aid a policeman in controlling a prisoner a Philadelphian has patented gloves witb electrodes in the palms which send a powerful current through an unruly man from a storage battery forming a part of the policeman’s equipment.
