A. ADwui a generation or . two ago a priest in the Vatican library at Rome originated and developed the process now in use In the taking care of old papers. Until last year there was none of this work which was high grade and scientific done in this - country west of the Alleghanles. All work that the university had done was sent to Massachusetts. Last July the process was introduced to the state historical library. Tne nrst tmng done in the process of preserving the letters is to pla them between wet newspapers : under a weight and leave them for flvetor six hours. This removes the creases and the dirt. Then they are put between woodpulpjboards and left 24 hours land then between blotters to complete the drying process. The next step I is to repair the paper.

At your Druggist, 25c. A Patrick Henry wrote in his will, -"I have now disposed of all my property to my family ; there is one thing more I wish I could give them, and that is the. Christian religion. If they have that, and I had not given them one shilling, they would be rich; and if they have not this, and I had given them all this world, they would be poor!" It would seem that the only' portion of this legacy in which the . nearest known lineal descendant of Patrick Henry now living has shared is in the fulfillment of his wish that his family might have the Christian religion. Per haps, the strongest characteristic of Lucy Anne Henry Peters, who Is, so far as can be learned, the only living great-grandchild of Patrick Henry, is her piety and devotion to the church. Although Mrs. Peters is now in her seventy-fourth year, she attends Sun day school as regularly as Sunday rolls around and cannot remember when she missed either, regardless of the weather, and the only book she has read for many years is the Bible, which she consults every day. Mrs. Peters, who' now lives at Han nibal, Mo., is the'ohly one living of the 12 children of Edmund Henry, who, according to Raleigh-Travers Green in his "Historic Families of Virginia," rwas the only child of John Henry, the oldest son and tha fourth of the five children of Patrick Henry, by his first wife, Sarah gkeiton Henry.

Never mind frying to pronounce the thing, Just caH it "boo," or "x," and save time as well as patience. It relates to a disease recognized by osteopaths and caused by high street car steps. Awful name for a thing so simple, eh? One might be pardoned, in view of such a name for the ailment, in thinking that it meant the whole dingbusted works had been scrambled like so many eggs. Dr. F. G. Cliiett of Sioux City, la., told the "state osteopaths about it during their convention the other day, ex plaining that the disease, steppedinuo mates, is a general nervous disorder and is spreading rapidly. The Jar on alighting from a high step causes misplacement of the innominate bone. and the trouble begins. DoctoF Cluett said he had treated several patients recently, all living near car lines, and all afflicted in the same way. A car step slfould not be more than eight inches high, the height of the average step," said the doctor. "Anything higher causes jar tnat may nave serious conse quences." "Daylight-Saving" Popular.

The new schedule will run until Sep tember 20, when clocks will be stopped for an hour. Factories, banks, stores trains, theaters and restaurants will all conform to the new time schedule, The Scandinavian countries, France and Holland also have adopted the scheme of daylight-saving initiated by Germany, and several Canadian cities, including Halifax, i have fallen into line. Send Drinkers to Front. On account of a diminution in the output of munitions, due to excessive drinking, the French minister of mu nitions has issued instructions that any munition workers found under the influence of alcohol shall be immedi ately sent to the fighting line. The explanation Is given that the penalty is not in the nature of a pun ishment, but' because the man in ques tion is .unlikely to experience the same temptations at the front. Power Lifeboats.

Today not much of it is met with, and even the con-f fldence men have to resort to real counterfeits. What has become of itr asks the New York Sun. : There is a man in Atlanta who can answer that question, for he has dis posed of millions of it. Through some scores of commercial travelers with whom he was acquainted, he was for some years buying up all the Confeder ate bills that could be procured, at a price that- seemed to many too high for what was, after all, worthless paper. In turn he sold it to the Edison company for a good price. For cer tain small incandescent lamps which the Edison people were manufactur ing a certain kind of carbon was needed, which could best be obtained from paper made out of sea grass. h-That kind of paper is not made any more. But the confederate money was all made out of sea grass paper. From this the carbons for the lamps could, be manufactured. Now that the sea grass paper can no longer be had, bamboo is being used instead, but it is not quite so good. EVEN TO BOTTOM OF OCEAN Divers Have to Go When Miiatfy Wants Certain Decoration fsr Her Headgear. To the bottom of the Chesapeake bay went American manufacturers of artificial flowers in quest of a certain decoration for milady's headgear, when the war cut off the German supply. They found it, and the bureau of fish eries, which aided the manufacturers in the search of the product, all of Which heretofore came from Germany, says it is worth $250 a ton. And Chesa peake bay is just full of it, and even better than that formerly supplied by Germany. The product is a species of fern, brown in color, which grows in abun dance attached to the rocks and shells in the bed of Chesapeake bay. By dye ing various shades are produced, and, in addition to being used on women's hats, it is used for house decorations. Secretary Redfleld said that it is the beginning of a new Industry. The bureau of fisheries loaned the Fish hawk, one of its vessels, to a Balti more artificial flower manufacturer to engage in the explorations for the fern. Efforts are now being made to have fishermen bring in the product, for all which they can obtain 290 a ten. Nitrates From the Air. In the American Magazine Albert W. Atwood tells how the DuPonts and the Rockefellers are developing proc esses for extracting the nitrogen gas from the atmosphere. The DuPdnt interests control and propose to develop in this country the process most extensively employed abroad. One of the newest processes, the one upon which the Rockefeller en terprise is based, consists of liquify ing air. Until 1898, when two scien tists, one in England, the other in Po land, almost simultaneously made the discovery, no one had ever made air stream down like water. The process consists of reducing the air toa very low temperature by means of powerful compressors. The process is already in successful commercial operation in France and the Sodete de l'Alr Li qulde of that country is one of the large stockholders In the Air Reduction company of New York, in which Percy Rockefeller is the largest owner. The American company proposes to install a plant in every state, and believes that each plant will be able to produce 280,000 cubic feet of nitrogen daily. Rockefeller has gathered around him as directors men who are not accus tomed to entering upon purely vision ary enterprises." Better Than Faucets. Foot power is required to wash your hands in one of the new washbowls designed for use in schools, public In stitutions and offices, as well as pri vate homes. The faucets supplying the water have no handles. They are operated by pedals underneath the stand. Pressing one pedal gives hot water and the other supplies cold. This permits the user to have his wa ter at the temperature he desires. As soon as the pressure upon pedal is released, Its waterflow stops. Physi cians and dentists find this foot con trolled water supply a great con venience because it does not require the use of a hand to secure water. It is claimed that It would lessen the water waste in all public places where the washstand is in almost continual use. A Gamble. "I took my girl to the ball game yes terday. "Yeah?" "TJh-huh !

The yield is now second only to that of the salmon in the coast fisheries. During 1914 the quantity landed at Canadian ports was over 64,000,000 pounds, and it is expected that the record for the last year will be slightly greater. These years 'show marked increase over the total of 65,000,000 pounds in 1913. The ; advance is said to be due mainly to the j adoption -of more effective methods of j fishing And to the better profits ob tained through facilities for preserv ing, snipping ana maraeung. uoia storage and refrigerator cars make it possible to place the catch of the northern Pacific fresh on the markets of California and the cities of the East in Canada and the United States. More information is necessary re-j gar ding the special circumstances of the Pacific coast before effective means of protection can be devised. The hair seal is suspected of being among the destroyers. A government bounty for destruction, established chiefly as a means of protecting the salmon, has led to -the destruction of many seals. It is claimed that only about one in five shot in the water is recovered to make a claim for the bounty. Sea lions are also destructive. As they herd on known islands during their breeding season systematic means can keep them in cheek. Methods of fish ing may some day need regulation. Although a bottom fish, and keeping in comparatively deep water, the hali but comes to the shallows to spawn. The government is alive to the impor tance of the Industry, and signs of serious depletion should prompt im mediate efforts toward protective measures. GIVES RULES FOR TEACHERS Squared Shoulders Drive Home Hy- fllene 8tudy, a Philadelphia Doctor Says. Pertinent instructions to public school teachers as to the manner in which they shall conduct themselves about the schoolroom so that they may be an example to their pupils were given by Dr. Edward Martin, member of the Philadelphia- board of educa tion, who presided at a health confer ence of principals of the public schools. "Brace up, have a correct carriage and be able to leek others in the face," Doctor Martin said to the sev era! hundred teachers who attended the conference. He commented on the excellent carriage of the West Point cadets, and told the instructors that they should go with squared shoulders before their pupils. During the Spanish-American war, while he was on inspection duty In the South, Doctor, Martin said the stand ing ox a regiment always couia De pre dicted by looking at the officers who commanded it. If the officers walked .erect and with vigor, the troops usual ly were like them. ; Alt ef the speakers admitted that since the institution of the course in physiology and hygiene the children came to school cleaner, behaved better and that much of the instruction given at school had been carried home to the parents. Want Beardless 8oIdlers. Domestic crises confront attested married men with beards. Before they present themselves to the British army, they will be required to remove that long cherished possession. "No beards" is the rule in the army, section 12 of the King's Regulations providing that the chin and underlip will be shaved, but not the upperlip. Whisk ers, If worn, will be of moderate length. The result, according to a London paper is that attested married men with beards are faced with a grave domestic crisis. "My wife," said one bearded armleteer, "has never seen me without a beard. I was beard ed when we first met. Bow do I know what she will think of me when she sees my chin?" Another bearded late group Wn intends to join in his beard arid let the army authorities do the execution he has not the heart to wreak himself. He has a notably large and flowing beard. A military authority was firm on the point. "Men who join their groups would be well advised to leave their beards at home," he stated. $ : Mere High Cost of Living.
