Every one is forward to complain of the prejudices that mislead other men or parties, as if he were free, and had none of his own. This being objected on all sides, it is agreed that it is a fault and a hindrance to knowledge. What now is the cure? No other but this, that every man should let alone others' prejudices and examine his own. The only way to remove this great cause of ignorance and error out of the world is for every one impartially to examine himself—Locke. For Remembrance.

The stickiness of materials can now be measured and placed in actual relative figures with the aid of a device which the California highway commission is using to test road oils. The experts who examine road oils have found that the ordinary physical and chemical tests did not tell some of the facts which they most desired to know, among them how sticky a sub- 3 Kilo The Substance Is Smeared on a Roller, and the Machine Then Tells How Sticky the Material Is stance is; so to find out the power of different oils to hold dust, and the binding coat, the "adhesive machine" was constructed. The little invention consists of an inner and outer cylinder, the latter a hundredth of an inch larger than the former. The material to be tested is placed between these two cylinders and the whole combination is mounted horizontally. A rope and a weight are attached to the outer cylinder; a water-cooling jacket keeps the temperature uniform, with a tall thermometer on the device keeping the record, and the test starts. The time required for the weights to turn the outer cylinder three times is the figure which decides the test. A minimum time of 200 seconds has been established as a requirement for all oils. The balsam preparation used for sticky fly paper has an adhesive test figure of about 250 seconds.—illustrated World. Evolution of an Aristocrat. When Hanch Clover was a farm hand, relates the Howard Courant, he ran away and married his employer's daughter, and he had never warn a linen collar or a nightgown, and his wife had to nag at him to get him to wash his feet every Saturday night. When he moved to town and built his new house she had the sight of her life to get him to have a bathtub and hot water equipment built in. But she won out, and now Nanch doesn't see how he ever got along without it. In fact, he monopolizes the bathroom and calls it his room, doing all his dressing and undressing in it, and his wife can't get inside the door until after he is through or leaves the house. The other morning when he found long hairs in his brush and some hairpins lying on the shelf he anorted and jawed around till he made himself very unpleasant, and now he is planning to have a bathroom put in which shall be his exclusively and where his wife will not be allowed to butt in and clutter it up with her powder puffs and tooth brushes and funny looking fixin's. Hanch Glover has changed greatly since 1881.—Kansas City Star. Children are often roostless because no occupation has been provided for them. And if a little thought is taken it is sometimes easy to do this, for when children are quiet any household gets on much better. When the children must stay in the house, a never-falling source of amusement is "store." What child has not delighted in weighing cut flour and sugar or giving imaginary or real samples of dress stuffs? And money may be of paper or pins. The childish imagination will bridge any gaps. One mother procured a large wooden packing box for her children and they thought it an ideal "store." Furthermore, she saved all the grocery boxes, labeled tins—in fact, everything which would swell a grocery stock on a packing box scale. Needless to say, those children played for hours in perfect quietness. She—"Why do you refuse mhel's hand to Mr. Nocoyne? Don't you want your daughter married off?" He —"Yes; what I am trying to avoid is having a son-in-law married on."—Boston Transcript. METROPOLIS WEEKLY GAZETTE. METROPOLIS. ILL "CASCARETS" FOR SLUGGISH BOWELS No sick headache, sour stomach, biliousness or constipation Get a 10-cent box now. Turn the rascals out—the headache, billiousness, indigestion, the sick, sour stomach and foul gases—turn them out to night and keep them out with Cascarets. Millions of men and women take a Cascaret now and then and never know the misery caused by a lazy liver, clogged bowels or an upset stomach. Don't put in another day of distress. Let Cascaret cleanse your stomach; remove the sour, fermenting food; take the excess bile from your liver and carry out all the constipated waste matter and poison in the bowels. Then you will feel great. A Cascaret to-night straightens you out by morning. They work while you sleep. A 10-cent box from any drug store means a clear head, sweet stomach and clean, healthy liver and bowel action for months. Children love Cascaret because they never gripe or sicken. Adv. ADVANTAGE OF THE HORSE At Least There Was One Thing In Which Feared Our Creation They were speaking of the love that some people have for the old-fashioned when Congressman Harry H. Dale of New York was reminded of the following appropriate incident: A farmer who lives in one of the back counties was approached by an automobile salesman, but the eloquence handed out made no impression on Uncle Josh. "Nothin' doin', mister," he said, with an air of finality. "Ye can't beat the hoss with one o' them things. The hoss has the advantage every time." "You said that before," responded the salesman. "In what particular do you think the horse has the advantage? "Wa-al," returned Uncle Josh, "when a hoss dies ye kin skin an' git a dollar for his hide."—Philadelphia Telegraph. 8AVED MINISTER'S LIFE. Rev. W. H.

One of the biggest "hits" in the drama was a snow scene, where the heroine fainted from hunger, and the gentle snowflakes covered her fragile form. The company was on tour, and the Scottish manager was rather quick-tempered. At one theater he had several rows with people, and his temper was at boiling point when he dispatched two men up above the stage with large brown-paper bags of torn-up white paper for the snow. The scene began, and so did the snow storm. The scene went on, but the snow didn't. "Hey, you there!" safd the manager, in a savage whisper. "Whaur's the snow? "I've used up all the white paper, sir," came back a despairing voice. "Then snow broon, ye idiots! Snow broon!" roared the infuriated manager.—Answers. THIS IS THE AGE OF YOUTH. You will look ten years younger if you darken your ugly, grizzly, gray hairs by using "La Creole" Hair Dressing.—Adv. Retort. An English bank clerk, who imagined that no one was as clever as he, was recently on a visit to the south of Ireland. It was this young man's greatest pleasure to hold up the "natives" to ridicule on every possible occasion. One morning when he was out for a stroll with some of his friends he met a boy leading a very thin horse along the road and called out: "Say, Pat, why don't you get inside and fill him out?" "I would sir," said Pat, "If his mouth was as big as yours."—Exchange. Boarding-house Keeper—Susan, will the strawberries go around? Susan (the servant)—Hardly, mum; there's one strawberry short.

On the Authority of Samuel Pepys, the Following Account of a Historic Incident in Copenhagen If you "tell it to the marines," be quite sure you have it right, for that warring amphibian is not the credulous personage you have always supposed him to be. United States marine corps officers have traced the famous saying, "Tell it to the marines" to none other than our old friend Samuel Pepys of the diary renown, the original "first nighter," who tells us that the saying had origin with Charles II, the merry monarch of England. "It so befall," the story goes, "that his lighthearted majesty, with an exceedingly bored expression on his swarthy face, was walking in the shade with the ingenious Mr. Pepys, secretary to the admirair." "I had a speech yesterday at Deptford," said Mr. Pepys, "with the captain of the Defyance, who hath but lately returned from the Indies, and who told me the two most wonderful things that ever I think I did hear in my life." Among the stories told were of fish flying in the air. "Fish flying in the air!" exclaimed his majesty. "He, ha, a quaint concept, which 'twere too good to spoil wi' keeping. What, sir" (he turned and beckoned to the Colonel, Sir William Killigrew, of the newly-raised maritime regiment on foot, who was following in close conversation with the Duke of York) "we would discourse with you on a matter touching your element. What say you, colonel, to a man who swears he hath seen fishes fly in the air?" "I should say, sir," returned the sea soldier, simply, "that the man hath sailed in southern seas. For when your majesty's business carried me hither of late I did frequently observe more flying fish in one hour than the hairs of my head in number." Old Rowley glanced narrowly at the colonel's frank, weather-beaten face. Then, with a laugh, he turned to the secretary and said: "Mr. Pepys, from the very nature of their calling no class of our subjects can have wide a knowledge of seas and lands as the officers and men of our loyal maritime regiment. Henceforth, whenever we cast doubt upon a tale that lacketh likelihood, we will tell it to the marines—if they believe it, it is safe to say it is true." EASY TO REGULATE HEAT By the Use of Adjustable Thermostatic Controller the Temperature of Room May Be Fixed. By the invention of an adjustable thermostatic controller which is intended to be attached to a steam or hot water radiator a simple means of maintaining a room at a nearly constant temperature has been devised. The plan of the instrument, says Popular Mechanics, is such as to make it possible to keep separate rooms in a house at different temperatures when illness or other conditions make this desirable. The device is only a few inches in height, and is not objectionable in appearance. The thermostat consists of two corrugated silver disks which are hermetically joined. The hollow space provided between these drums is filled with a gas, the expansion and contraction of which turns on and off the steam when the heat in a room drops below or rises above predetermined points. A shield is provided which protects the thermostat against the effect of heat given off from the radiator. Science in the Kitchen. To plan a kitchen successfully one must consider carefully the scientific arrangement thereof. After the location of the stove has been decided upon, the sink must be placed. This necessitate a consultation with the plumber, as well as with the architect, since its position is largely dependent upon the location of the water pipes and upon the drainage. A generous space should be allotted to the sink; also, it should be sufficiently large to permit two persons to work comfortably there. It must be well lighted by ample windows placed above it; if these are double-hung sash windows, one may have the maximum of fresh air, even in extremely cold weather, with no discomfort while washing dishes or otherwise working at the sink.
