As Near As Your Telephone
DISTANCE IMMATERIAL
IN a Metropolitan City of this size, death knock every
thirty minutes at some door. Too often that death
not only brings sorrow, but misfortune as well. Let the
price you pay for a funeral be a business proposition and
you will benefit by it in service, quality and cost to you
in dollars and cents. The result of my campaign has
built for me one of the largest and most magnificent
establishments in the world.
A visit will convince you.
Consult me, I can save you Worry, Time and Money.

Signing Diplomatic Notes.
No one can say exactly why our sec
retaries of state sign diplomatic com
munications "with their surnames only,
except that it has always been so. "We
copied the custom from European chan
celleries, and it probably has its origin
In tho habit of royalty, which Is to
sign with one name only. Thus King
George of England signs himself
"George, It. I." (Rex, Imperator King.
Emperor); Sir Edward Grey signed al
ways as "Grey;" the democratic Mr.
Bryan when secretary of state affixed
his signature to diplomatic notes as
"Bryan." At first sight there seems to
be a profound flattery implied in the
custom. It assumes that the signer
cannot be mistaken; that there Is only
one "George," and "Grey," one "Bry
an." And generally there Is only one
in the diplomatic world where these
exchanges take place. New York Sun.
Effects of Arsenic.
"Arsenic, as science has long told ns,
Is an accumulative poison," said a
druggist "When one takes it either by
prescription for the upbuilding of an
appetite or for the bleaching of the
skin he does not feel any ill effects for
several years. The effect of the drug
is bracing and makes a person feel
like eating. It also aids the digestion.
The average user of the poison takes
it in such small quantities that he does
not realize how much of it will ac
cumulate in his system in the course
of four or five years.
"Being an accumulative poison, it
often takes that length of time to see
the results of the drug. Then the user
may complain of not being able to con
trol his fingers or toes. Subsequently
he loses control of his hands and arms.
Paralysis, superinduced by arsenical
poisoning, is the fearful result''
How Wood Shrinks.
Students in the college of forestry at
the University of Washington have
proved by experiment that a cord of
full length wood when sawed and re
plied In the ordinary stack shrinks on
an average 24.7G per cent As dealers
buy wood In full lengths and usually
measure it for delivery before sawing
it, they are often accused of giving
short measure.
A "cord" is the standard measure
ment of wood, and it is defined as 12S
cubic feet of wood, measured by a pile
four feet high aud eight feet wide of
logs four feet long.
The discrepancy between the cord as
bought by the dealer and as delivered
to the customer, according to Professor
Hugo Wlnkenwerder, dean of the col
lege. Is not entirely explained by the
sawdust When wood is piled up In
four foot lengths there are many spaces
between sticks, caused by knots and
curvatures. These spaces are elim
inated when the wood is cut up small.
Got There All Right.
Many years ago, at the beginning of
November, a missive bearing the'St
Albans postmark reached St Martin's.
The envelope was addressed "lud mar
lunding." Neither tail nor head could
be made out of this by the staff, so the
envelope was opened for a clew. The
letter read, "kenyoblauosfoyosho bil
igs."
The practiced St Martin's decipherer
of puzzles promptly made out the sig
nature as "Bill Higgs." With the key
this afforded the rest was deliciously
easy. The message was, "Can you
buy a horse for your show?" and "lud
mar" meant "lord mayor." So the let
ter, With an official translation consid
erately appended, was delivered to the
lord mayor elect London Mail.
Many Uses For Sawdust
Sawdust is valuable. It can be used
for almost anything except food. Used
as an absorbent for nitroglycerin it
produces dynamite. Used with clay
and burned it produces a terra cotta
brick full of small cavities that, owing
to its lightness and its properties as
a nonconductor, makes excellent fire
proof material for walls or floors.
Treating it with fused caustic alkali
produces oxalic acid. Treating it with
sulphuric acid and fermenting It with
the sugar so formed produces alcohol.
Mixed with a suitable binder and com
pressed it can be used for making
moldings and imitation carvings. If
mixed with Portland cement it pro
duces a flooring material. Philadel

Ancestry of Modern Dogs.
According to Charles R. Eastman,
writing In the Museum Journal, our
modern dogs have a varied ancestry,
some being descended from Asiatic
and some from African species. The
spitz in all its varieties is a domesti
cated JackaL The mastiff and St Ber
nard and their kind are descended
through the molossus of the Romans
from a huge, wolflike creature that was
already domesticated by the Assyro
Babylonlans 3,000 years before our era.
The Russian borzoi and the Sicilian
hound had their origin in the Cretan
hound, which Is still common in Crete,
and it and its cousin, the Ibaza hound
of the Balearic islands, came from the
ancient Ethiopian hound, which was a
domesticated wolf. The collie or shep
herd dog seems to come down direct
from a small wild dog of the paleolith
ic period.
Here's a Tip About Hotel Guests.
In the American Magazine a writer
says:
"Here's a funny thing, by the way,
that I've noticed about hotel guests:
You leave a soiled towel in a room
and the guest will probably complain,
but you can leave a bucket of paint
and a paper hanger's scaffold in the
hallway and compel the guest to crawl
under a stepladder to get to his room
and he will put up with it cheerfully,
because he knows you are painting or
papering by way of making an im
provement and he is in sympathy with
that It. doesn't cost much to make
over a carpet so that a bare spot in
front of the dresser will be eliminated,
but such little details are a vast help
in making a hotel prosper."
Ivory In Siberia.
An enormous suppply of ivory exists
In the frozen tundras of Siberia, which,
it is thought will probably suffice for
the world's consumption for many
years to come. This ivory consists of
the tusks of the extinct species of ele
phants called mammoths. The tusks
of these animals were of great size
and are wonderfully abundant at some
places In Siberia, where the frost has
perfectly preserved them.

The "Only Child."
When parents have an "only child"
it seems to get as much attention as
six or eight children In a large family.
Some statistics show that out of a hun
dred "only children" eighty-seven were
nervous, the girls suffering worse than
the boys. And then the statisticians
say the only child lacks self reliance,
Is precocious, vain and unsociable, is
often extremely timid, being afraid of
dark rooms and of sleeping alone.
