Mr. Brown says of bis plan: "The only eola tion of the problem presented by the high cost of living that I can see Is to get the man and the farm together.

Mrs. Clara Sbortridge Fold baring recent ly been appointed to that, position. The appointment came au a result of a request from the various women's clubs and organixatioBs. which peti tioned the district attorney for repre sentation en his staff. The princi pal pnrpose of a woman as ancm ber of his eOce is to nave ber assist whenever children -V or women are coe cerned in the law.

The accumulation of wealth Is not a fad with Edward H. R. Green, however, who la content to live well and carry on sufficient business at the same time to keep bis mind occupied. Sylvia, the daughter, takes more aft er her mother, and it is on this ac count that the control of Mrs. Green's enormous fortune will soon be turned over to her. MBS. BILKS. W. C. BBOWH. Why H.

"Yellow deposits on sldewalka on the 25th and 26th were probably pol len from trees," says the report This theory is In direct contradiction to the belief often entertained that the deposits were sulphuric substances, brought down from the atmosphere by the rains. However, there have been many theories advances In this re spect and the meteorological or.:.i ion may be as near correct A3 ;he others. 5 A? t H0S1EBY The Persisttncy of Colds." Why la It that we are so heavily subject to colds? Other epidemic diseases-measles, typhoid, scarlet fever, diphtheria may get bold on us once and there la an end; it is not usual to hare any of them twice. , We brew In our blood immunity. The poison of the disease evokes In us Its proper anti dote. Our blood cells make a sort of natural antitoxin and keep It In stock, so that we are henceforth protected against the disease. A welt vaccinated nurse, for example, works with safety In a smallpox hospital, where the very air is infective, but her blood is so changed by vaccination that the small pox cannot affect her. By scarlet fe ver, again, we are, as it were, vacci nated against scarlet fever. The reac tion of our blood against the disease Immunizes us. No such result follows Influenza or a common cold. We brew nothing that Is permanent We are Just as susceptible to a later Invasion as we were to the Invasion that is just over. London Spectator. udfJTLEMEN Store The Festive Codfish. A correspondent of the Netr York Post says that the codfish frequents "the tablelands of the sea." The cod fish no doubt does this to secure as nearly aa possible a dry, braclns at mosphere. This pure air of the sub marine tablelands gives to the codfish that breadth of chest and depth of lungs that we have so often noticed. The glad, free smile of the codfish is largely attributed to the exhilaration of this oceanic altltoodlenm. The cor respondent further saya that the "cod fish subsists largely on the sea cherry Those who have not had the pleasure of seeing the codfish climb the cherry tree in search, of food or clubbing the rait from the heavily laden branches with chunks of coral have missed a very fine eight. The codfish when at borne rambling through the submarine forests does not wear his vest unbut toned as be does while loafing around the grocery stores of the United States.

Every workman, even the chief inspector, waa sworn to silence. This lajunctlon was formally repeated every month to the superior officers employ ed, while the workmen had constantly before their eyes In large letters the warning- motto, "Be Secret Unto Death." It was well known that any person divulging the process would be imprisoned for life in the castle of Koenlgsteln. Even the king himself when he took strangers of distinction to visit the works was enjoined to se crecy. One of the foremen, however, escaped and assisted in establishing a manufactory in Vienna, from which the secrets spread all over Germany. Her Diamond Necklace.
