Now let'a lake a sheet of paper and aee what your credential really are. Let'a aee ? yon had one father and one mother, two grandfathers and two grandmoth er, four great grandgrandfathers and four great-grandmothers, eight great great-grandfathers and eight great great-grnndmothera ? and ho ojt?.' "Carrying the multiplication back to the fifteenth preceding generation I showed that at the time the bishop lived, my friend, the applicant, had ex actly 82,708 ancestors. In other words, the bishop was only one of the 82,708 human beings who were his forbears at that time. " 'You 1 ave mentioned the bishop, but what about the other 32,707 V I asked. 'It seems to me that I ought to hear something about them If I am to judge you by the good blood which you say Is In you. The bishop was all right. You aro lucky to have aa much of him In you as you have. j But the bishop's stock haa been con siderably watered. I don't believe he would- recognize you.' -What about the rest ?'

Apparent ly the iden Is to carry the race for ward together and not to piny favor ites. "Another feature of the scheme Is that It keeps us all Interested. Sur prise# abound on all sides.

Vuile. \vh(? h:is made a study of feet, says Popular Science Monthly, If we do not discard the present monstrosities In footgear and pet into the habit of walk ing, using oui" legs and feet instead of' the automobile and street car, he says we will become human penguins, lie enlN attention t<> the fact that I)r. I.Iovd lirown, the examining physician of Harvard, found that ?r?00 of 74(1 mem bers of the lPltl freshmen class stood In a manner that indicated "a poten tiality for sickness," and that -ITd of the r>DO students had feet and legs so Imperfect that they were ineligible for military duty! Lack of leg exercise is supposed to be the cause of this con dition. Mr. Vaile says that the Ameri can woman has neglected herself so Jong that her legs and feet are suffer ing malformations. There is no longer in her leg the beauty of the classic line. The Boy's Example. In a certain school a teacher asked ?his class tile meaning of "oratorio," a word which occurred in their lesson. As no one could give an intelligent answer, he proceeded to an explana tion. He told them that it was a kind of musical drama usually founded on ! some Scripture story, and he instanced the "Messiah" and "Israel In Egypt" as example*. He then appealed to the j class to give him other examples. One boy, who was manifesting u growing impatience at not being al- I lowed to show that he knew all about i oratorios, was at length asked, and fairly nonplussed the master by his j answer: "Aaron on the Rhine." ? Lon- j don Tit-Bits. Why He Was Mad. "I haven't been able to sleep nights lately," declared Number One. "What's on your mind?" asked Num- 1 ber Two sympathetically. "I'm thinking about the draft all the time." "What for? You are too old to be drafted." "I know it. but you're not." "What's that got to do with it?" "Why, you owe' me $100." He thought he was leading up 'to it gently and tactfully, but the other fel* low flew up and got mad, In spite of all his care. ? Cleveland Plain Dealer. Dobbins W?4 Particular.

EVERY Q9LFER IS CHAMPION ? - 1 , ? ? - I# Me Do? n't * Like the Ordinary Clarification* Hi Can Make New OfMM dull HlOIMtf. It long. has bren a myatery to thw man who doesn't play golf to under stand wl. t there la about the game to make otherwise dignified and rational persona to go nutty over It. Should a non-golfer caMiially confide to his fam ily doctor that all |h not well, and that he finds that he can't got away with three square meals a day and a light lunch before rwtlrlng quite ko happily ax he uxed to, the medical man prob ahly will tell him to play golf. And If the non-golfer asks If the doctor plays the game, the physician proceeds to give him words on how he mado the seventeenth hole in three, and'that he cm 11 Hwing his mushle like Chick Wvau?, Ami It Ih the aame with other acquaintances ; they all prescribe their fad aa a meana of battling old age. Another queer thing about the game Ih the ready conceit acquired by tfce? club, says the Seattle I'ost-Intelllgen cer. Give a near-golfer tw'o or three lessons and h* la ready to bet money on himself. Ami he will go to a lot of trouble to round up a bunch of other duba and take them out to the lltika to trim them out of 40 cent a. Any player may be a champion in his class. He may be the best 240-pound, aide whiskered and bald-beaded player In the world. If he doesn't like the ordi nary claSHlflcatlon he can make new ones to suit him. There Is no reason why any man should noWio champion In his class. ' Also it Is exasperating for a man who must stay In the office or store all day to have somebody come in and clank his golf sticks on the floor and talk about niblicks and brassies and the "drive through stroke," whatever that la. And Just when the. conversa tion gets around to thq point where one could happily expatiate on thd Joys of back-yard garden, n motor boat or a flivver, the bounder usually rises and leaves hurriedly. Living on Calories. The cheapest eating in the world la rice and peanuts, measured by the calories, which constitute the only real test. The former costs five cents per 1,000 calories and the latter seven cents. So that if a person would eat a good helping of rice nnd wind up by a plentiful dessert of peanuts, he would get more muscle, brain, nerve and bone out of it than he would out of a diet of roast beef and potatoes. There is no attention paid to the value of food in practical living. Our sole guide la what hits our appetite, says the Ohio State Journal. We want what 'Ve'd ruther," as the poor woman told Jane Addains. It is going in nnd buying potatoes by the pile, without regard to the bushels or necks. There is twice as much living in some kinds of foods as in others and yet we pass up our plate perfectly, unconcerned whether It comes back with f>00 or l.iMH) calories. This Is one reason we are poor. Gases Used in Warfare. A recent scientific report from Eu rope treats of tho principal gases used for attack. These Include chlorine, bromine, sulphur dioxide nnd formal dehyde. Chlorine and bromine have proved most effective, because of their grtnit weight. They roll over the ground like water. These gases are released from compression tanks. The sulphur dioxide and formaldehyde are produced by burning the appropriate chemicals. There are many gases more deadly than those named, but in order to be effective for trench work the poison gas must have, suffi cient weight to stick to the ground. oTtoe gas mask has practically done away with the actual effectiveness of the gas attacks, but they are said to have considerable psychological effect still, many soldiers thinking they are "gassed" when they are only smelling the harmless vapors set up inside the gas masks. Measuring Your Pace. IIow many steps do you take to the mile? Even If your considered reply be "1,760," I shall take leave to doubt it. Should you be a British infantry man your pace will be the longest of any Infantryman.' The Russian pace Is the shortest, being but 27*? Inches; : the French, Italian and Austrian pace is 29 inches, the Germans do 39 Inches, while British soldiers stride an extra 1 half Inch. But your own pace, what of It? It depends upon your height. Take your eyebrow height, halve It, and that represents your pace. Yon ; will find It tb be somewhere between j 30 Inches and 32 Inches, so that you will need between 2,000 and 2,100 paces to the mile. ? London Chronicle. No Chance for Him.

Readers of the American botanist have been trying to decide which Is the most fragrant American wild llower, and their opinions on the subject ex hibit remarkable diversity. In New England the majority give first choice to the pink azalea, with the white wa ter lily second. There are many votes for the trailing arbutus, but, as the editor suggests, Its fragrance Is doubt less overestimated, owing to the fact that it is the earliest fragrant wild llower of spring. Other candidates for first place are the partridge berry, the common locust, horned bladderwort (of which John Burroughs says: "In a warm, moist ntmosphere the odor is almost too strong"), yellow Jessamine, spotted wlntergreen, and some of the magnolias. The same Journal Is col lecting opinions us to which wild flow er is the most beautiful. ? Scientific American. Secret of Beautiful World. Someone was wondering why a cer tain small town was so much more at tractive than most of Its kind. "There are no fine buildings," she said, "no beautiful scenery, no parks." "No," said another, who also was familiar with the town, "but everybody has a little garden, and takes such good care of it." That is the secret of making this world beautiful, for each of us to take good care of our own little garden plot,? Girls' Companion. Costly Caloric.
