(Copyright.) Marguerite Armstrong South American Unable to Understand Why Republicans Did Not 8«ise the White House. One day a Peruvian friend came to me in great excitement, waving a newspaper. "Senor," be cried, "there • Is a revolution in the United States." "What do you mean?" - He showed me the paper. It contained a brief account of the Republican convention In Chicago, in which Senator Lodge said several uncomplimentary things about President Witson. "You see," explained the Peruvlsn, "the President's enemies openly attack him. Is the army disloyal? Why do they not suppress the demonstration?" I explained to Mm that in the United States It Is any citizen's privilege to abuse the Chief Executive to, his heart's content, that no effort Is made either by the army or by the President himself to check such demonstrations, and that the Republican party would wait patiently until March 4 Instead of descending in a body upon the White House and forcibly ejecting Mr. Wilson. He smiled in polite incredulity. "What funny people!" he laughed...

Lurie (Vnrmmii Errors in English and How to Avoid Them TO 'RAISE" CHILDREN. GRAMMARIANS generally are agreed that it Is not correct* to apply the term "raise" to the rearing or education or bringing up of children. The verb "raise" Is applied with propriety only to crops or cattle, never So human beings. "She raised a family of eight children," says a charity ^report; it should have said, "She reared" or "she brought up." The Standard dictionary ridicules the expression, attributed, to a Southern county, "She raised thirteen head pf children.** fiv The term "brought up" is the more Jtnodern of the two; the term "reared" ^lis older.

She wanted some remedy, and asked If catarrh was curable. I gave her all the advice I could, but such cases of course, become too serious to be handled by one whose specialty is general health and looks, and I told her to go to a physician. For catarrh Is curable, and anyone who suffers from the least trace of this annoying affliction should start at once to cure themselves. If possible, they should go to a high or dry climate and live where fir and pine trees grow thick, since nothing is more effective than breathing the pine-scented air every day. If for any reason this is impossible, they should plant cases need a different form of treatment Though living among the pines will cure anyone, they say. The principle Is to keep the throat and nose clean, to kill the poisonous formations, and so, to build up a stronger throat. (Copyright.) O Remarkable Speed Attained at Recent Meeting jn the Rhone District of Germany. A German gliding and soaring competition was recently held in the Rhone district by the League of German Model Aircraft and Oliding Clubs. The meeting was marred by an unfortunate accident, resulting in the death of the well-known pilot, Von Loessel. This was due to breaking .in the air at the elevato^ of his glider. A number of monoplanes and biplanes were entered, reports the Scientific American, some of very novel design. Many of the entries had comfortable seats and landing gear as distinguished from the old-time gliders in which the operator's legs swung from below the planes, ready to take up the strain of hard landing, often at the price of serious injuries. The longest distance covered by the gliders was 1,830 meters, with a duration of 142.5 seconds. That record was made by Klemperer, with a height of 330 meters. The apparent gliding angle of Klemperer's flight was one In thirty-one. ^ Research, -,'y^ . "What's them?" inquired Fanner Corntossel as his wife was preparing for the party.

More Than Two Years En Rout*. In June, 191S, some Canadian soldiers. crossing the Atlantic to Join the forces in Europe, threw overboard in I mid-ocean a sealed bottle with a note | Inside to the effect that they were on their way to the war and asking the j finder of the bottle to forward the note to the Toronto Sunday World. The bottle has just been washed ashore at I St. Ives in Cornwall and the request been carried out What would be Interesting to know would be where the bottle has been during the last two years and a half, and what is the drift that brings so much flotsam and Jetsam Into the harbor of the little fishing town on the Atlantic. There are many theories, one of which credits the Gulf stream with a memory for the old smuggling days and an intention, in the case of the Canadians' bottle, to show awareness of these good new days which find fresh uses for tfcfPlt* | of unlovely repute. • / - > Heirs of Danish Nobleman Stand Wirt or Lose Largo Amount of • Money by Decision? f What time was It when the castle clock struck twelve? Ten thousand pounds, normally about $50,000, hangs on the answer to this question, explains the London Express correspondent in Denmark, which has been the subject of lively argument in the eastern civil court, Copenhagen. , The clock in question Is In the tower of Lystrup castle, the seat of one of Denmark's greatest landlords, the late Count Moltke, a life member or the ancient house of lords. Count Moltke died on the night of December 19-20,1918, a few seconds after the castle clock Struck twelve. The Danish parliament recently approved a new and Increased scale of death duties, applicable to the estate of all persons who died after midnight on December 19-20. It is contended by the count's heirs that the castle clock was fast and struck a minute too soon. The count, they say, died on December 19, and therefore his estate Is exempt from the increase In the death duties.

At or about the time of harvest in the north temperate zone, the sun in its usual course Is approaching the celestial equator, which it crosses from north to south on September 22. On that date it sets close-| to the western point of the horizon.. If tt happens to be then also full moon, the moon rises that evening as the sun sets, and It at its rising opposite the sun, or close to the exact eastern point of the horizon. Thus it begins to give light at sunset and continues to do so until sunrise, when it sets opposite the sun, just as the latter rises. This arrangement holds good without any great change for several days, so that there Is practically no darkness, especially If the weather is fine. The full moon which thus illuminates the autumn nights is How Hearted LIBRARIES. ^ THE forerunner of the modern libraries were the collections of manuscripts and clay tablets which the ancients made.

The crystal, tourmaline, has very remarkable optical properties, a fact known to most people. However, few people have heard of Its peculiar electrical properties. Tourmaline Is capable of attracting small bits of paper and straw In much the same way as amber. This attraction is, of course, due to an electrostatic charge. When the crystal Is exposed to sunlight of a low temperature, it loses Its electrical charge, but regains It upon being heated again. If It has a negative charge at first. It will have a positive charge when It Is reheated. Several other precious stones exhibit various phenomena afong this line, but tourmaline is the most interesting and spectacular of all.--Popular 8clence Monthly. SHIVERS, THE CALF.
