the means of reducing his expense

Grief and Joy
Use of Stethoscope
Old Medical Custom
Sir William Hale White, president
Jf the Hoyal Society of Medicine, re
cently expressed the opinion that
"nothing that doctors do has seised
the popular Imagination more than
their habit of tapping the chest and
listening to it with a stethoscope."
Medical men In their Investigations
have found that this tapping of the
chest is a quite remote custom, the
Toronto Globe observes. A book
written In Latin In 1701 recorded
the fact that the chest of a healthy
person when tapped yielded a note
"like the stifled sound of a drum
covered with a thick cloth."
A French physician, Laennec, Is
said to have made the first use of
the stethoscope. For years he was
the victim of 111 health and family
troubles, but after the battle of
Waterloo he made public the dis
covery that It was possible to listen
to a person's chest with a stetho
scope. He also wrote a book telling of all
the human aliments It was possible
to detect by means of this Instru
ment. Sir William Hale White says
that from this book arose the phy
sician's habit of asking patients to
pronounce certain words like "ninety-nine"
when examining the chest.
These words are produced In the
larynx, and are suitable sounds
when carried through the chest to
help the physlciun to obtain con
firmatory evidence of bis tapping.
Warden Had Some
Picking "on the Side"
Those who talk of present-day
graft would be Interested In Item
izing the emoluments of the keeper
of the Tower of London during the
reign of Queen Elizabeth. His nomi
nal sulary was only about $500 a
year, but he had numerous prlvl
eges. Most of the prisoners, being
political offenders of high rank,
were granted liberal allowances by
the government for their board.
Whenever they were too proud to
accept this allowance It fell to the
warden.
Moreover, this official was entitled
to seize oil cattle that slipped off
London bridge, all carts that fell
Into the mout, all flotsam and Jet
sam In the Thames, all swans that
floated below the bridge, two flagons
of wine from every vessel arriving
from Bordeaux, a toll of sea food
from every fishing craft landing In
London, and as many rushes as "a
person could hold between two
arms" from boats carrying such
cargo, besides a fee on all hides
cured at East Smlthfleld, near the
Tower.
Old Hen' I Christmas Gift
An attorney who was also an en
thusiastic chicken fancier Rpent
much money and time coddling
blooded hens that did not begin to
pay for their keep. He had several
pullets that were guaranteed to be
the best kind of layers, yet every
nuirnlng for almost a year he re
turned empty-handed from his
search for eggs. Finally he had
given up hope.
On Christmas morning, however,
he was astonished and delighted to
find four beautiful pearly egffs In
one of the nests. He quickly gath
ered them up and ran triumphantly
to show them to his skeptical wife.
Not until he had emerged from the
dimness of the henhouse did he no
tice that each egg bore the neatly
penciled greeting: "Merry Christ
mas from the Old Hen." Youth's
Companion.
Si'arti Country of One Town
One of the oldest features of that
odd country, Siam, Is that It Is a
country of one town, observes a
writer In the Detroit News.
Hankok Is Ihe seat of a very cen
tralized form of government and
administration. It contains the only
permanent residence of the king
and all officials and nobles, except
a very few provincial officers, have
their work and dwellings In the
capital. It Is there, too, that they
take all their pleasures. To the
European, Bangkok Is all Slam.

the country, all ofllclnls of foreign

Light Mystery Solved
One of the most spectacular
forms of lighting (If it can be so
called), occurs In the Andes, and
has occasionally been reported from
other mountainous regions. At
times the mountains seem to act as
gigantic lightning rods, giving rise
to more or less continuous diffused
discharges between themselves and
the clouds, says Nature Magazine.
A few years ago American meteor
ologists thought they had found an
example of this striking phenome
non In North Carolina, but the once
mysterious "Brown mountain lights"
have been proved to be merely the
beams of distant locomotives and
automobile headlights or due to
other human agencies.
Old Harvest Custom
Years ago in the jllddle West,
when wheat was harvested with
sickle and rake, it was the custom,
when the last shock was capped and
finished, to stack all the rakes
around It. thrust the sickle Into It
and then the whole company of har
vesters formed a circle and at a
signal given by the captain of the
reapers gave three cheers. They
listened for the echo. If it replied
three times, It was accounted a good
omen for the next crop. This was
known as the stubble call. A blast
of a horn from the cabin was heard
In answer to It and the harvest was
ended.

Never Taught to Speak,
Children Grew Up Dumb
Akhar, one of the tlrst of the grwrt
mogul ho rule. India, ha been
named the Asiatic Charlemagne. He
wus a statesman and an educator,
and lullt s palace f.ir the reception
of men who loved learning and
sought after wisdom. The great
mogul's paKxlon for knowledge is
wild to have been shown by a whim
sical exHTltuent he on' e made to
determine If It was true, as he bad
heard, that Hebrew was the natural
language of all who had never been
taught any other tongue.
To test this assertion Akhar
caused a dozen nursing children to
be shut up In a castle, six leagues
from Agra, his capital city. Each
child was reared by a dumb nurse;
the porter also was a mute and was
forbidden, upon pain of death, to
open the gates of the castle. When
the children were twelve years old
Akhar ordered them to be brought
before him.
Men learned In Sanskrit, In Ara
bic, In Persian and In Hebrew' were
assembled at theoyal palace to tell
what languages the children spoke.

save 25 9 cents a pound loaf, 3 for 25c.
Do Portland bakers have any money invest

Dog" i Self-Determination
Has a dog the right to select his
own master? This question arose
recently In a case brought before
London court when the owner of
valuable dog sued a neighbor for
Illegally harboring the animal. The
defense set up was thst If a man
had what was described ss "an In
stinct for dogs," and a dog liked
hlro and followed him, he was not
legally bound to communicate with
Its owner If he knew the owner's
name and address. In other words.
I he defendant attempted to extend
the law of self-determination to ani
mals. The same dog, he said, had
followed him home on three occa
sions. Twice he returned It to the
lawful owner, but on the third occa
sion he allowed It to remain. The
court fined him $10.
