PUT TALENT TO LITTLE USE
Horace Walpole Chiefly Famous' for
Making Collection of Curious and
Valuable Object*.
The death of Horace Walpole on
March 2, 171)7, calls to mind a collec
tion of curious anil 'Valuable objects
which he had collected in his famous
country sent, Strawberry Hill.
One article of great elegance was
a sliver bell which had been made by
Iteuvenuto Cellini for Pope Clement
Til, with a rich display of carving on
the exterior representing serpents,
files, grasshoppers and other objec
tionable Insects, the purpose of the
liell having been to serve a papal curs
ing of these animals when they be
came so troublesome to demand that
mode of castlgatlon..
Ajfffher curious article suggesting
of a past aj;e was the
Shew-stone of Doctor I)ee, a piece of
polished cannel coal which had been
used by that celebrated mystic as a
mirror In which to see spirits. But
we of this generation and In what tve
are pleased call the age of enlight
enment have our crystal gazers, astrol
ogers and onija boards, although they
are not behig used or believed by the
community en masse.
Rut the glories of Strawberry Hill
have come to an end and way hack
In '42 the entire collection passed un
der the hammer, and was dispersed
In a sale which lasted nlmost four
weeks. Throngs came to see the home
of the man who devoted his ho mean
talents to the pursuit of tricing Im
portance—"piling up trifles to .1 colos
sal height and making a pyramid of
nothing."
New Blood In Cancer Treatment.
Rollln rejHjrted at a meeting of the
Hamburg Medical society that two
persons with extensive and advance*]
gilstrlc cancer were treated by In
tragluteal Injection of 2 c.c. of blood,
twice a week, from their grown-up
children. Both Improved visibly, the
hemoglobin .percentage rose and the
weight Increased as appetite returned,
anfl the earning capacity wna restored.
Itollln had reasoned that there must
be something In the blood of the young
that prevent* the development of can
cer, and hence that there wonjd l>e
advantage In Injecting It In cases of
cancer.
The Medlslnlsche Ktlnlk relates that
Kummel gave tills method a trial in
three caiies of cancer, injecting the
blood of young relatlvea. The gen
eral health Improved, but this benefit
was transient.- The malignant disease
Itself was not Influenced.

SEEK TO SAVE LUDLOW JAIL
Member* of Greater New York "AJW
moiiy Club" Don't Want Their
Famous Home Converted.
The Ludlow street Jail, where mem
bers of the Greater New York "Alimony
club" have frittered away much pleas
urable time, appeurs to be doomed.
Sheriff David H. Knott thinks a far
more profitable usa could be made by
the city of the historic structure. The
plan 1« to send the Ludlowers to some
other city Institution; scatter them, If
necessary, through a ntimber of build
ings, for It is now costing $41,000 an
nually to keep their present home
going.
The proposal -lias culminated In a
"save-the-Jail" agitation among those
who have sojourned In Ludlow. There
is deep sentiment, it seems, In hav
ing been a "guest." The Ludlow
street Jail was built by Boss Tweed,
Ills name being Inscribed 011 the build
ing erected In 1809. His desk and
chair are still In the room where he
died a prisoner in 1878. Besides
Tweed the jail has sheltered many
famous men, Including the members
of the brokerage firm who traded on
the name-'of General Grant and swin
dled thousands. Whltaker Wright,
Hw ((British Walllngford, lived there
for a spell, and showed Ills sports
manship by contributing SIOO to the
other prisoners for fireworks one
Fourth of July.
Rot it Is as the established home
for stalwart men who refused to be
subservient to "the weaker sex" that
Ludlow's fame spread throughout the
land. Poets and actors, Journalists
and musicians', bankers and laboring
men all have met there to fan the
flame of resistance to the payment
of alimony.

It isn't safe to be a movie fan or

MOVEMENT CARRIED TOO FAR
Medical Journal Point* Out Grave
Danger In the Increasing Craze
for Psychoanalysis.
Recently, relates tlie editor of the
Journal of the American Medical As
sociation, the minister of a prominent
church In Chicago was asked by the
head of the social work department to
put his approval on the establishment
of a lecture course on psychoanalysis.
Being In doubt, he conferred with sev
eral medical men of his congregation.
Finally a neurologist settled the mat
ter by saying: "By all means have It.
It should prove very popular. Half
the congregation is already crazy and
the other half Is en route to the asy
lum." •
The jest was not wholly a jest. Peo
ple are paying too much attention now
adays to their minds. An abnormal
interest In the workings of one's own
mind produces either an Introspective
philosopher or a "common nut." When
the Interest Is related more or less
distinctly to a concealed but neverthe- {
less obvious fascination for cogitation
on things sexual, it has elements of
danger. Physicians are beginning to
wonder where the normal interest of
the layman In these subjects ends and
the scope of the psychiatrist com
mences. We are flooded with books
on the subject by lay psychoanalysts; ;
the "movies" picture It; the theaters
dramatize It; the churches have lec
tures on It. In fhe not too distant fu
ture this psychoanalytic craze. If It
continues, will the medical
psychatrlst a very busy man.
NOT AN ERA OF YOUNG MEN
Idea That Present Age fs Extraor
dinary in Thaf Respect Is Shown
as an Error.
given to thinking of this era
of ours as the era of young men, but
the average age of Washington's cab
inet was under 40 years, observes the
Villager, Katonah, N. Y. Hamilton
was thirty-two; Jefferson, forty-six;
Randolph, thirty-kix; General Knox,
thirty-nine, and Samuel Osgood, forty
one. What Is It persuades us to the
notion that leaders of earlier times
were always older than the men hold
ing the, corresponding offices today?
What explains the boasti our
own generation is the first tV discover J
and dispose of the horrible waste In
volved in "middle age?" Is the im
pulse Just the contempt of today for
yesterday? Or are we misled by the
powdered wigs of the earlier time? "It
was a young man's army," some whlp
persnapper second lieutenant returned
from France told us In explanation of
"how we won the war." A young man's
army! Whenever was there another
kind?
The whlppersnappers confessed they
had never thought of It In that way.
They had come to conceive of the •
Civil war as having been fought by
men like those few who still totter
along In their blue Uniforms on Memo

Use More Coconut Fat
For many years past the world's
production of animal fats has been
Steadily diminishing. Lack of such
fats spelled famine In Europe during
the war, when great quantities of
them were withdrawn from human use
to make glycerin for high explosives.
Even now, and In this country, there
Is an Insufficiency of animal fats (as
Indicated by the price of butter) and
to make good the shortage coconut
oil Is imported In enormous quanti
ties. During the last year 845,787,918
pounds of this oil were brought Into
the United States.
The oil Is largely used In cooking
fat, but alao In the manufacture of
nut butter, candles, soap and cos
metics. It is said to be an excellent
substitute for ood liver oil, being high
ly digestible and with the advantage
of an agreeable flavor. At ordinary
temperature coconut oil Is a white,
butterlike solid.
The new "meat*" are dried In the
sun before shipment from the tropical
countries, where coconuts are grown.
In this shape the material Is called
copra. The oil Is extracted by power
ful hydraulic presses, the yield being
66 to 70 per cent of the weight of the
copra.—Kansas City Star.
Overheated Houaes.
Atmospheric | conditions In home*,
say specialists of the United States
Department of Agriculture, are fre
quently not maintained as they should
be. Houses are often overheated. In
most cases practically no thought is
given to humidity, or air moistening.
Physicians Insist that an overheated
house Is unhealthful, and that colds,
sore throats, coughs, and the tendency
to be nervous and feverish may b* at
tributed to continually breathing air
having too little moisture In It.

Something to
Think About
By F. A. WALKER
CHARITY
FOB some five or six years we have
had a riot at charity appeals.
There have been drives for mis and
cumriiii&n.s for tliat —tag days and all
other kinds of days.
Rightly the people have responded
with promptness and generosity to all
the appeals, touching the bottoms of
ihelr pockets occasionally when {he
drives carne very dose together and
alway.'i giving something, however Ut
ile they were interested in the cause.
The war was "responsible for the
most of the appeals. But the war Is,,
technically, at least, over, and it would
seem as if tßero ought to be a let-up
and a good breathing spell so that
pocket books iriay ret-over and charities
get down to a normal basis.
• » •
Charity ought to mean something to
the giver as well as to the receiver.
Rear charity means giving real help.
Money is frequently a long way from
being the best thing that you can give
to fl-poor and suffering individual.
you saw a rnan in a pit and all
Ins efforts to get out were unsuccess
ful. you would scarcely be doing him
any very great service by flinging a
dollar down Into the pit with him.
Nor would it be the best thing to
get down in the pit yourself.
The best thing to do is provide the"
man a way out of his predicament—a
way to better Jjlmself—a way to get
up on a level with his fellow man.
•♦ ♦ ♦
It was not the amount of money that
the Good Samaritan spwit that made
his name a synonym for generous char
ity. It was the fact that when he saw
the man who had' been down to Jericho
lying by the roadsiilelhe went to him
and bound up his wounds and set him
on his own beast and brought him to
an Inn and took care of him."
There are too many of us who are
generous with our dollars and misers
with our smiles. We spend a dollar
where a hearty good cheer, a message
of-encouragement, a little thoughtful
ness would do a good deal mora to
help those to whom we intend to ex
tend aid.
Charity which lessens the self
respect of the one helped is badly
bestowed. •
A loaf of bread given in such a way
that the receiver thinks less of him-.,
self than he did before he received it
is an injury rather than a help.
Better, he had hungered a little
longer until his bread could have been
obtained without cost to his manhood.
-There Is a good deal of misdirected
charily In this world. We give to suf
ferers far away and close our eyes
*to those near at hand.
We give for show—from the pocket
rather than from the heart.
We not Infrequently make conditions
worse instead of better by giving with
out understanding.
Do not think this is an argument
against charity. It Is not. It is an
argument for wise charity.
Give as much as you can. Give as
often as you can. .... *
The mite was a noble, gift for the
widow, but unless you are a widow do
not take that as the basis for your
contribution.
But give wisely. See that a whole
some, useful and helpful application
is made of your donations and the
world will be better and you will be
better for having helped your fellow
man.
But above all be generous of your
kind words, of smiles, and of
your encouragement. It Is Impossible
to misapply them. You can be sure
they are certain to help and you can
be equally certain that they will In no
Instance ind under no circumstances
work a harm.

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
CRANK
THE only apparent connection
between a person who la
obsessed with a certain idea, an
eccentric, and the piece of ma
chinery bearing the same name
Is that both-ef them are crooked
—the one mentally and the oth
er physically. But Donn Piatt,
who first used the word In Its
current sense, sensed another
connection between the two.
"Horace Greeley," J»e stated,
in the course of one of bis in
vectives against the famous ad-,
itor. "Is like the crank of j/
hand-organ—continually grinding
out the same old tunes." In ad
dition to being cleverly phrased,
the comparison appealed to the
opponents of Greeley as being
particularly tnfthful and the
simile was quoted throughout
the country. In the course of
time it was separated from its
original connection with Greeley
and applied to anyone whose
hobby bordered Upon the ridic
ulous or even the Insane. The
question of sanity being a very
delicate one—as may be seen by
a comparison of the expert alien
