POOR BLOOD
'The - blood is an important consti-
:tuent ofthe body. About one -twen-
tieth of body-weight is blood. The
}blood serves to bring to the tissues
oxygen from the lungs and food from.
the :digestive tract. Itcarries. a� day
their waste ,products from the tissues
to 'the organs of elimination. The in-
ternal secretions from the ductless
glands are circulated in the blood.
It is evident that the proper nu-
trition of the body and the removal
of wastes depend upon the blood's do-
ing its part in these two important
functions.
The blood is subject to certain dis-
eases; but we are not considering ac-
tual diseases of the blood, such as the
anaemias, but rather that condition
-which many people speak of as "bad
blood" or "poor blood." This is heard
of often in the spring when people
say, that their blood is in bad condi-
tion..
When such persons are questioned,
et is generally found that they arc
feeling somewhat, miserable, run-down
or below pair, and they, blame their
blood for their unfitness. If they have
pimples, boils or other sores, they re -
Bard these as evidences of bad blood,
and consider that this condition is na
t.nre's way of ridding the blood of
impurities.
The mode of living of most of this
�otip is a story of neglect of all those
habits of life which must receive rea-
sonable attention if health is to be
maintained, physical fitness assured
and freedom from the ill-effects of
neglect of the needs of the body a-
voided.
The reason why the complaint re-
garding bad blood is more frequent
in the spring, and for the foundation
of the popular .idea that spring ton-
ics are required is because, during the
winter, many people live an unhealthy
fife, If, during •that season, e-1cecise,
fresh air, bathing and such natters
are neglected, and particularly, if the
person continues to eat as much as
ashen he is workinghard, then the
body suffers.
The condition of unfitness is not
'due to the blood's being poor or bad,
but because the whole "body suffers
from a lack of care. This can be pre-
vented by a proper moderate diet, by
fresh air, exercise, body cleanliness
and care as to elimination. Spring
tonics • are not required. It is not
through medicines that we keep oud
bodies'8healthy; it is through a pro-
per manner of. living. The way to
"purify the bloodis to attend to the
body, to eat properly and eliminate
regularly.

TO MAKE PAINT 'STICK BETTER.
Research. Deals With the Nature of
Timber and Coating Too.
Not only the paint but also the
surface have been receiving the at-
tention of scientists. What qualities
of wood make it almost. 1mpossiale
for paint to stick is revealed by Dr.
F. L. Browne, senior chemist of the
U. S. Forestry Products Laboratory
at Madison, Wis., in a report to the
Engineering Foundation, New York.
"Paint fails by flaking from the
summerwood, the dense,' horny, dark-
colored part of the annual growth
ring," Dr. Browne says. "As failure
progresses the summerwood may be
left bare while the spring -wood is
completely covered."
Light weightwood of even texture
has thin bands of summerwood and
holds paint well, he :points out. But
most heavy wood is uneven, with wide
bands of summerwood and therefore
sloughs paint off rapidly. Edge -grain
boa"rds expose summerwood In nar-
rower bands and hold coatings better
than flat -grain boards from the same
Tog.
Little can be done, however, to
change the type of woods In use, Dr.
Browne acknowledges. He urges fur-
ther research with paints. Aluminum
paint as a primer under customary
paints on .summerwoods has been
found greatly to lengthen the life of
the coating, he says.— Science Ser-

Cooling Engines 'Without Water.
Automobile and airplane engines
run most efficiently at a temperature
which would instantly boil away their
cooling water, G.W.' Frank, air corps
engineer at Wright Field, Dayton,
Ohio, has found.
Using ethylene glycol as the cool-
ing liquid, Mr. Frank found that -a
temperature of 186 degrees Fahren-
heit was reached in a full throttle
test on an airplane engine. Water,
commonly used as the cooling agent,
would have boiled away at 212 de-
grees. Ethylene glycol, which is sold
as an auto watt -freeze solution, boils
at 887 degrees.
A power loss' of three per cent.
caused by the high temperature was
more than compensated for by a bet-
ter fuel economy and reduction of
radiator size, Cooling liquid required,
engine weight and -wind resistance.
Rats Went Nutting.
Stories of rats invading houses in
the country because they are suffer-
ing from thirst leave " me a little
doubtful, says a correspondent of the
London Daily Chronicle, But I do
know for certain that these animals
will force their wayinto eel/ars in
targe numbers when there is any-
thing there to tempt their appetites.
For example, a parson had just
gath-
ered his walnuts, and stored them
away, Rats got to know of it, and so
many of them were told that in one
night the whole of his tree's harvest.
vanished. Some animals keep news
of such finds to themselves, but the
rat, witb all his faults, is hospitable

HAS 1EIYPNOTIC EYES,
Rennarlrable Faculty • Attributed to
the Vineitsel,
The hypnotic power which ie the
undoubted ;possession of the weasel
has constituted the text of many in
tereptlag aecounts of sanguinary en-
counters u acts in which this bloodthirsty
animal hap featured, writes A. Gor-
don, in the, Edinburgh -Journal,
While visiting the Perthshire vii-
lege of Comrie, I was privileged to
witness an incident which slowed
this remarkable faculty attributed to
the. weasel: Resting 'onthe bank of
the road .which overlooked a small
clearing in a wooded copse, my atten-
tion was captured .by a rabbit, which
was sitting quite stiff. My eyes next
distinguished a slight movement tri
the long grass to the right of the
animal. It proved to be a weasel
which, I quickly noticed, was accom-
panied by a fellow member of its spe-'
cies. They were [roving towardg. the
rabbit, which, with eyes protruding
to an amazing extent, seemed Incap-
able of movement. Obviously the
e
h
strange hypnotic powers of the weas-
els were responsible for this state or
apparent catalepsy, with which the
rabbit was afflicted. From where I
was situated, the weasels looked like
two snakes as they zig-zagged their
relentless way towards their helpless
victim.,,•
Being seizewith a fit of com-
passion for the rabbit, I decided to
clap nay hands to see if by doing 60
this would have any effect, and no
sooner had I done so than the spell
seemed to be broken. The weasels
turned • and faced me, standing on
their hind legs and flashing their
beady eyes at me. Meanwhile, the
rabbit, its powers • of locomotion re-
stored, turned and made for a stream
wh.ch it swam across. On reaching
the opposite' bank, it entered a bur-
row, thus thwating the cruel inten-
tions of the blood-suckingbrutes
that had lately been tracking it down.
LONGEVITY OF ANIMALS.
One Horse is Said; to Have Died at
the Age of 61.
A well-knownnaturalist gives the
following information on the longe-
vityof animals: Dogs are two years
in growing, and authorities agree on
fifteen to twenty as the old age at-
tained by dogs and pigs. Ulysses'
dog, presumably full-grown when the
hero went away, recognized his mas-
ter after twenty years' absence.
Cats, on the other hand, grow in
one year, and live to be twenty.
The hare is fully grown in one year
and old at seven, but I know of one
which reached twelve years.
Squirrels grow 'for five or six
months, are old at six years, but have
livedto be eight years old. -
Mice grow for three months and
have lived for six years.
Sheep mature in two years, are
considered old at eight to ten, but
have reached fifteen years. These are
the domestic sheep; there is good evi-
dence—in the rings on their horns—
that the wild sheep reach at least
double these ages:
Similarly, the age tally which each
of the horned cattle has in its horn
rings offers evi'!ence which cannot be
disputed. Cattle are adult at three
years and attain the age of twenty,
with a possibility of thirty or forty.
Horses are three or four years in
growing, and live to be fifteen or
twenty years, with a possibility of
forty years, although they rarely at-
tain that. Still one famous horse—
"Old Billy," of Manchester, is said to
have died at the age of sixty-one,
FRENCH OFFICE HOLDERS.
Great Lovers of Public and Official
Positions:
French people are great lovers of
public and ,official positions. Of the
10,000,000 voters in this country,
1,200,000 were candidates in the re-
cent municipal elections. Every vil-
lage,,town and city in France, 31,984
communes all told, elected a mayor
and aMunicipal council. About 400,-
'000 men got jobs as municipal coun-
cillors or aldermen.
The. minimum number of council-
lors, no matter how tiny the com-
mune; is ten. In some places every
voter is an office -holder, and in the
hamlet of Riboux, in the Var eDepart-
ment, where there are only eight
votes, two officeholders had to be bor-
rowed .from a neighboring village.
The municipal jobs used to be good
for four years, but tae new incum-
bents were elected for six, The long-
er term is presumably more agree
abt to men who like the di it • of

little titles.

Finger -Nall Artist.
New York art circles are attraoted
by ate exhibition of paintings by a
Chinese artist who paints with his
finger-tips instead of the brush, and
draws with his finger -nail.
Karel Teng, the artist, has painted
in this way for more thanten years,
and achieves admirable effects in
landscapes, both Chinese and West-
ern.
He declares that the extreme sensi-
tiveness of the finger-tips translates
the artist's intentions more directly

"Do you remember an old tune
called "Lydia"? a highly respected
and successful clergyman said one
clay to the writer of these articles.
"Very well, indeed, and greatly liked:
it too, though, we never hear it now-
adays in church," was the reply.
"I had forgotten it, though we of-
ten sung it when I was a boy," he
went on. "Well, last night I had a
dream, .such a lovely one! I dreamt
I was with the blessed ones at rest,
and they were singing 'Lydia,' to the
hymn 'Come let us join our cheerful
song.' It was so beautiful, andel sang
with then, till I awoke, my face all
wet with tears, but happier than I
have been for years. it has left me
happy yeti I am so glad t met with
some one I could talk about it with."
The dear man went on his way, his
face all smiles. 'Within a week he lay
in his coffin, that smile still there,
wiping out all the lines a long life
with its full share of sorrows had
written upon his countenance. No
doubt that dream had been sent to
the faithful, gentle, aged pastor to
smooth the way through the valley
of the shadow of death, and make it
a happy passage for him.

to his hymn..That .might wellhave
been the title of all his hymns, and
there are hundreds of them, from his
first attempt to write more approp-
riate ones than his father used in his
services, . which began: "Behold the
glories of the Lamb, Amidst His Fa-

ology. "Glory to God on high, Sal-

It is not without some reason that
Isaac Watts has been called: "the fa-
ther of oar modern hymns,,' for no
one of our race had before his time
written so many hymns that have en-
dured, or badmade use of such a
variety of metrical forms.
The eldest of nine children, Isaac
Watts, the son of a devout Congrega-
tional lay preacher and private board-
ing school -master in Southampton,
Eng., was horn in' 1674 and died af-
ter a life of much weakness and suf-
fering in 1748. The good rector of
the parish, the Rev. Mr. I'inh.orn, who
was also head of a grammar -school,
took an interest in him and instructed
him thoroughly in English, Greek,
Latin and Hebrew. A further course
at an Academy at Stole' Newington,
completed his educational course.
His twenty-first and twenty-second
years he spent at honie, writing his
hymns which were given out, line by
line, from his manuscript and sang
in the Southampton Chapel. The next
few years he was teaching the son
of Sir John Hartopp at Stoke New
ington. In 1702 he was ordained and
appointed pastor to the Mark Lane,
London, Independent congregation,
then still attended by Oliver Crom-
well's grandchild, and which had had
John 'Owen; Cromwell's celebrated
chaplain, as its pastor.
A few years later, and his studies ,
and writings had ruined his health.
He was invited to spend a few days
as the guest of Sir. Thomas Abney,
and in that household be remained 1.

The University of Edinburgh in
1728 conferred upon him the honor-
ary degree of D.D., as a recognition
of the honors he had won as a theo-
logian, literary m,n, philosopher and
poet. Church of England as well as
Nonconformist divines ranked among
his friends; his fame spread to the
continent of Europe where hiss books
on "The. Improvement of the Mind,'"
on "Logic," "The World to Conte,'
"Catechisms," "Scripture History,"
"Divine and Moral ,Songs," etc., were
translated into ot'her languages, and

Not all of his poetical work was

was puerile, but so good a critic as
Dr. Johnson. found . enough' good in
it to give hire .a place in his ponder-

The fourth verse of our hymn has
generally been omitted since George
Whitefield cut it out in his hymn
book, in 1753, but to this writer it
seems to be -a pity to omit Watt's
reference to what we often call the
dumb creation, for "All things praise
Thee," and it may be that songs reach
the throne of the Creator from all
that He has made, and not only from
mankind.
Lydia is one of the sweet old-fash-
ioned tunes, dear to the generation
now fast passing away, and with its
refrain use of the repeated last line
of each verse was once exceedingly
popular. Of its author, T. Phillips
and of the circums'ttances of its com-
position the present writer knows no-
