1 HIS is decidedly a season of draped hats with velvets the leading fabric for draperies. Entire hats are made of it and numbers of others are combinations of velvet and silk, velvet and tapestry, velvet and fur, or beaver cloth or any of the millinery fabrics. These draped hats are, naturally, made on turban shapes, whose inspiration in most cases, is plainly drawn from the oriental headdress. Many of them set closely to the head, and some of them so close that they might be clasped as caps. They are becoming and full of "style;" that elusive quality which is worth so much to the milliner in money and to the wearer in "distinction." Large turbans bordered with shaggy furs, have crowns of velvet draped and To Wash Bed Clothes. To wash heavy bed clothes make a warm suds with good soap and let the comfortables or blankets soak in it for awhile. Then take a new, clean hoe, for a pounder. Pound well, and pound again in another suds. Rinse thoroughly and hang on the line without wringing. If a hose is handy spray plenty of water over them when on the line. The cotton comfortables will not mat when washed in this way. Embroidery Jabot. For something new and dressy to wear with a linen shirtwalt, the embroidered jabot at once suggests itself, since it is less-perishable than dainty but short-lived laces. One jabot of fine swiss embroidery in the vandykle pattern was laid in cascades from the neck to the waist line, gradually decreasing to a point. The material was gathered tightly, of course, and arranged in zigzag style down the narrow strip of lawn which served as its foundation. A Sewing Tip. You will find when sewing fine silk that quite often the seams are inclined to pucker when silk thread is used. The sewing is made much smoother if cotton thread of the same color and size be used in the bobbin, with silk thread above. Do not dampen such seams when pressing them, for often water marks silk so that the stain cannot be removed. THE GAZETTE cleverly arranged into trimming. Other shapes show crowns of velvet with brims of tapestry and velvet or of silk folded and tacked about the brim. A big bow of the fabric finishes a simple model of this sort, as shown in the illustration. But any other trimming that is fancied may be used as a finish. A lovely model as a soft crown (what is called this season the "flexible" crown) and a wide brim or cornet of marten fur. It is finished at the side with a handsome shaded willow plume, showing three colorings. Turbans, in fact, include most elaborate designs as well as those pretty simple models in which velvet is employed alone, and in which the designer relies upon clever draping effects to achieve style. HATS ON THE FREAK ORDER Millinery of the Moment May Be Described as Fearful and Wonderful. The millinery of the moment can only be described as freakish, for surely never before was the head of woman covered with such incongruities. Not content with simulating the appearance of mushrooms, sugar loaves and variegated bird's nests, the latest hat is the acroplane, with large outstanding wings adorning the back of the hat and set at the jauntiest angle imaginable. The reign of the winged hat, soberly and decorously adorned with wings covering the crown and part of the brim, is apparently over for the wings must be made freakish to look smart, so following on the acroplane hat we have the hat which can only be described as a winged Mercury, with two seductive looking wings planted at the back of the crown of a large black hat, shaped exactly like the wings which adorni the ankles of the famous Mercury statue. There is no accounting for taste, for even if a woman knows she does not look well in a hat pulled down over her eyes until half her face is hidden, that hat she will wear because it is the fashion. One of the most startling millinery freaks seen was a blue velvet toque which can best be described as a beadized sugar loaf. The cone part of this sugar loaf toque was of Wedgwood blue velvet, while a deep band of steel embroidered lace formed the lower part, and hanging from this was a tiny fringe of steel beads which would adorn the forehead Salomewise. The toque, it should be added, completely covered all signs of hair and hid the wearer's left eye entirely. Other toques of the moment have crowns ascending skywards. So high and so full are these velvet crowns rising from a band of bizarre embroidery that they give, a top-heavy appearance to the unfortunate wearer. Cucumber Cream Cucumber cream is made from two ounces of almond oil, one-half ounce each of white wax and spermaceti and one ounce of cucumber juice. The latter is obtained either by grating the vegetable, skin and all, or by cutting and slimmering it until pulpy. In either case it must be strained. Mixing proceed- as with other creams.

The bishop of Uganda has appealed to the English people for £500 for the reparation of the Cathedral of Uganda, which was struck by high winds recently and destroyed. This remarkable building, now a museum, has 1,000 persons and was a center of great spiritual activity. It was surrounded by a cold hall, hospital and disarray. Having been erected before the coming of the railway, it had a charred roof and could not be insured. WOMEN CRAVE TOYS Youngsters Call for Aeroplanes, Kites and Models Where Electricity Supplies Power—Reason for Boom. London—Simple "silly" toys are all the rage just now. The Teddy bear is responsible for the boom, and following him a host of simple, unbreakable, woolly animals, mankins and "babies" has sprung upon the toy market. Chip mechanical clockwork toys and things that "windup" seem to have temporarily lost favor with children. Boys up to twelve years of age, girls of all ages, and even grown-ups have taken a violent fancy to the cloth or wooden toy which can be punched, kicked, sat on or kissed without ill effects, either to the owner or to the toy. Inquiries made at the leading London toy shops show that during the coming winter season the simple toy will be the chief article sold. At one large Regent street establishment one side of the shop is already stocked with "silly" toys, and in a few days' time hundreds more will arrive—elephants, bears, sheep, dogs, rabbits, etc.—costing anywhere from 25 cents to $15 each. "The simple toy is having an undoubted boom just now," said the manager. "These toys are really intended for gables, but I have known ladies to fall in love with them and buy them for themselves. "While the craze is certainly affecting the sales of cheap mechanical clock-work toys, it has not hurt the scientific toy trade. "It seems that children nowadays PHEASANTS PEST IN FIELD Toothsome Birds Thrive Under Game Law of Washington at Great Cost to Farmers. Seattle, Wash.—Pheasants are a plague in the Nisqually river valley, and farmers are up in arms, not against the pheasants, but the members of the legislature who made the closed season law. The toothsome birds have eaten up the potatoes and much small-grain and even attacked the apples and other fruits. It is reported from that section of the state that these white-collared, varicolored birds wing down upon the farms in large flocks. They scratch out the tubers and pick out eyes and centers, leaving a shell of the former potato. The less caused by the birds is large, and because of the semi-domesticated instinct of these oriental birds they do not fear scare-crows, dogs or firing of explosives. The farmers in their petition to have an open season declared state that they do not care to go gunning in their corn and potato patches when a dead pheasant means $50 fine and court costs. The population of the Nisqually river valley is united on the petition to have an open season of two months declared, that hunters may have an opportunity of thinning the pheasant stock. World's Oat Crop Washington.—The world crop of oats is nearly 3,700,000,000 bushels annually, according to a bulletin issued by the Department of Agriculture today.

RAVE TOYS either like an extremely simple toy or a really brainy amusement, such as making electrical experiments, putting toy airplanes together, or scientific kite flying." Popular "villies" also already selling well are "Baby Bumps," fitted with a "can't-break-on-head," and a very live looking duck called a "Puddle duck." Each of these toys has been bought as a mascot by ladies and taken out in motor cars. An interesting reason for the boom in simple animal toys was given by an enthusiastic theater-goer. "Plays like the 'Blue Bird,' 'Pinkie and the Fairies,' and 'Peter Pan,' in which animals possessed of wonderful intelligence are seen on the stage, have a considerable influence over children," he said. "In the 'Blue Bird' animals such as the cat, dog, and horse are made to possess a soul. They reason and array like human beings." "Now the successful toy manufacturer end-avours to put this live, soulful quality into his goods—he makes the cloth dog or rabbit as 'cute' and life-like as possible. "It is the soulful quality of these toys. If I may so express it—which attracts. I have known ladies positively rave over a fuffy little cloth dog, making it sit by them at dinner and talking to it for hours in 'baby voice.'" Output of Alaskan Gold Seattle, Wash.—More than $10,000, worth of gold has been received by the United States assay office here since the first of the year, according to a statement by the assayer. The receipts from January 1 to November 8 from Alaska and British-American mines is given as $10,507,621.94. Of this $9,309,109.75 comes from Alaska, $1,636,206.02 from British Columbia and $7,921,717 from the Yukon territory. Other sources in Canada contributed $64,944.41. CEMENT COTTAGES FOR POOR Method for Construction of Cheap but Substantial Homes for Working Classes. London—Two neat little tiled cottages at Newlands Corner, near Guildford, stand for a practical and successful effort to deal with one of the most pressing questions of English rural life—the problem of cheap housing. In building these comfortable, well ordered dwellings for two of his undergardeners at a cost for the two of $1,500. St. Loe Strachey, editor of the Spectator, has justified the faith which he publicly expressed and which moved him to promote the Cheap Cottage exhibition at Letchworth in 1905. The argument which Mr. Strachey then advanced and has now established is this: The agricultural laborer cannot afford to pay more than $1.50 a week house rent out of his wages. Any improvement in his dwelling above that standard must ordinarily be provided by philanthropy. The obvious way to cope with this situation is to cheapen the cost of construction. This Mr. Strachey, in co-operation with a local builder, has done, by using for the walls of his cottage concrete blocks made in molds on the spot. The ground floors of the cottages have a scallery, a pantry and a large kitchen sitting room, from which an open staircase leads picturesque to the upper story of three bedrooms. As Mr. Strachey points out, this extraordinarily low cost of $1,500 for a pair of cottages - $2,250 is the figure amount accepted has been reached not only by the employment of cheap material but by riffle exclusion of showy and unnecessary ornament, by dispensing with an architect and by leaving only a small margin for builder's profit. At the same time he maintains that his experiment has shown that it would be possible for any country landlord to house his people at the SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS. IN HERITAGE DESTINATION CAT IS DRUG FIEND Savannah Tabby Sent to New York for Treatment. Animal, Owned by Druggist, Contracts Morphine Habit In Store and Seeks Bottle Where Opiate Is Kept. New York.—When the Savannah Line steamship City of Montgomery arrived here the other day from Savannah, Ga., she brought a most remarkable passenger to New York in the shape of a valuable Persian cat that has been credited in the dispatches from Savannah as being a confirmed morphine blend. The Persian cat is the property of a druggist in Savannah named Rollinsky, a man prominent in the southern city, and he sent his pet Persian to New York for treatment by specialists in the hope that the cat may be cured of the morphine habit. Some months ago the cat sniffed at some morphine, powdered, that was being used in a prescription in Mr. Rollinsky's pharmacy. The animal acted peculiarly after that, and was constantly on the shelf on which the brownish bottle containing the drug stood. Several times Mr. Rollinsky found the morphine bottle open, with the powder scattered about, and each time the cat acted in the same manner that a human being acts under the influence of the opiate. The morphine-striken felline was taken on board the Savannah liner, by Mr. Heaton, the druggist's assistant, and placed in a room on the City of Montgomery. There were many persons on the pier at Savannah to see the cat leave for New York, for tabby's fame had spread throughout the southern city, and it was considered very much of a local celebrity. No provision, had been, made for morphine on board the steamship, and the cat, frenzied because of the absence of the drug, made its escape from the cabin in which it had been placed and leaped overboard into the Savannah river. There was a thrilling rescue, and the Persian tabby was placed again in the room that had been reserved for it and for Mr. Heaton after much correspondence with the Savannah-line officials, and securely locked up. It was placed under a small allowance of the drug, and this was confirmed upon the arrival of the City of Montgomery, when the cat was taken, in fairly good shape, to a cat hospital in West Fifty-third street. So well known is the cat in Savannah that there was much opposition to its being taken away. Mr. Heaton watched tenderly over the four-footed passenger and superintended the transfer to the cat hospital. While Mr. Heaton would not commit himself without first having consulted the veterinarles, he said he thought the treatment of the cat would be about the same as that given a human being under similar circumstances. By degrees the allowance of morphine will be discontinued and remedies administered that will cause the unnatural craving for the drug to disappear. Decreased Grape Crop. Rome.—According to the last official reports the vines in Italy will give about 54,000,000 quintals. of grapes this year, as against 98,000,000 in 1909. same cost by employing the labor and material of his estate. Further, Mr. Strachey asserts, the addition of $50 to the sale value of the cottages would turn them into a profitable venture for the commercial builder. BELLS ON WOMEN'S HOSIERY Tinkle as Breezes Bare Them to View. Particularly in Victinity of Big Buildings. New York.---"Rings on Her Fingers and Bells on Her Toes" may become literally true if progress continues in women's hosiery. It is almost true now, as may be seen from some of the latest sensational designs from Europe. "Classy" misses and mesdames in the continental capitals are actually wearing their hearts as well as tinklers on their hose. Fact: Some of the latest stockings are set with miniatures, so designed that the wearer may embellish them with photographs of those dear to them. Many of the new styles are stockings that tinkle; they have bells on them. Bells once were worn on garters, but now they are in a position to be easily seen, particularly in the vicinity of the draughty flatiron building or Longacre square. The bells may be arranged along the sides of the hose, or down the front. Bells also may be attached to the shoes, and some even have one tiny tinkler under the high instep. This is getting pretty close to "Bells on Her Toes." Too Many Kisses, Seeks Divorce.

Age thoroughly endorses the position of the Chicago Defender when the Defender says that the Washington Negroes are largely responsible for the recent outbreak of racial discrimination in that city in connection with the Interdenominational Sunday School Convention. The Civil Rights Bill as drawn and passed by the late Charles Sumner is in full force and effect throughout the District of Columbia. Notwithstanding the existence of the Civil Rights Bill, Washington Negroes go on from day to day suffering themselves to be discriminated against at soda water fountains, restaurants, hotels, theaters and other places. In fact, Washington Negroes are regularly shown into the peanut gallery in theaters just as they are in any part of the South. There is at least one theater in Washington that boasts of the fact that no Negro can enter its doors. Now when ninety thousand colored people with the law on their side are willing to live day by day and put up with such discrimination, it is no wonder that on such occasions as the meeting of the International Sunday School Convention they find themselves placed in an awkward position before the world. The thing for the Washington Negroes to do is to unite, and together make a determined effort to break down these un-American practices in their own city. Nq set of people in the world are more fond of giving out advice to the rest of the world, as to how to solve their problems than is true of the Washington folk. We advise our Washington friends to take a rest during the next six or eight months and give themselves up to an earnest effort to get rid of some of the disgraceful practices of discrimination in their own city. When they can do this, the race will cease to be disturbed and disgusted by such unrighteous practices in the way of discrimination as came to the surface at the recent International Sunday School Convention.—N. Y. Age. THE WALL CASE. The District of Columbia Court of Appeals says, in the Isabel Wall public school case, that a person "with one-sixteenth Negro blood in his or her veins is a Colored person." The case will now go to the U. S. supreme court. Great country, this! We certainly admire the fighting spirit, the child's father is showing in his long drawn out fight in the courts, for his rights as a citizen and man, and we sincerely trust that he will win in the end. Isabel Wall, 8 years old, was, in Sept., 1909, refused admittance to the Brookland D. C., public school on the ground that she was a Negro, it having been asserted she had one-sixteenth Negro blood in her veins. This action on the part of the principal was upheld by the Superintendent of Schools, a Prof. Stuart, whose opinion in turn was affirmed by the local Board of Education by a vote of S to 5. Then an application was made by Mr. Stephen Wall, an employee of the Government Printing Office and the father of the child, for a writ of mandus to compel the school board to admit his daughter to the Brookland school. Justice Wright of the District Supreme Court dismissed the bill and an appeal was taken. The effect of the most recent opinion was to affirm the action of Justice Wright. The case will be carried to the U. S. Supreme Court. In appealing to the upper court the attorneys for the child's parents attacked the 'act of Congress providing for separate schools for white and colored children. They also argued that if the act is valid the child is not "colored." "Congress having failed to define the meaning of the word 'colored,' says the opinion, "the duty was necessarily devolved, in the first instance, at least, upon the Board of Education to determine what children are white and what are colored when that question arises in connection with a definition in our own statute we are compelled to ascertain the popular meaning of the word 'colored.' As early as 1820 Mr. Justice Story declared that the word had acquired definite meaning as mulatto, Negro, etc., though it was not necessary in the case before him to express more definitely what the meaning was." The petitioners contended that the word 'colored' must be given its common or popular significance: "Negro physical characteristic and Negro blood must combine in one to render her Colored." "God made of one blood all nations of the earth." This is to be found in the New Testament, written by a Disciple of Jesus Christ. That, however, is evidently not the law of this Republic—a "I Jim Crow" Republic, if the District of Columbia Court of Appeals decision in the Wall case is upheld by the U. S. Supreme. The outlook is not encouraging, when one remembers the southern democrats Presidents Roosevelt and Taft have appointed to Associate Justiceships. Look at it from almost any viewpoint and this latest colorline or rather race-line decision reflects upon the mental and moral sanity of the United States, an anomaly. HOW TO KEEP ENEMIES THE ART AS PRACTICED BY AMAZON INDIANS. Heads of Enemies Are Embalmed Profusely Decorated and Then Used for Purposes of Adornment— An Italian traveler reports from the interior of Brazil the discovery of an ethnological collection of much value. The chief object of interest is an embalmed head of the tribe of the Mwndrwrows—a trophy of war. It is to this day a custom of the Indians of the upper basin of the Amazon to take the heads of enemies for the purpose of embalming, adorning, and preserving them. The head in question is very ornate, being ornamented with long streamers of bright feathers attached to the hair, while the eye sockets are filled, in default of glass, with the teeth of a large semi-aquatic rodent native to the region. From the mouth depend a number of heavy cords. These, however, are not meant for beautifiers. They are very intended to keep the lips quite right motionless, with the canny object of defeating any desire of the late departed spirit to utter curses and revilings in the abode of his conqueror. It has long been known that the South American Indians possess secret and jealously guarded processes of embalming. Among certain tribes of Ecuador human heads are so mummified that they are reduced to the size of a man's fist, without the features or the expression being noticeably altered. The hair retains its length and character, but the skin and bones shrink without losing their relative position and symmetry. Fifteen years ago it was possible to get these little mummified heads in the interior, and even at Quito, where poliopeurs offered them frequently to tourists at the doors of the hotels. "I bought a pair of them for a hundred francs or so," writes V. Forblin in La Nature. It is now, however, impossible to obtain them, and all on account of the sudden development of commercial acumen on the part of the simple savage. Business, indeed, became so very brisk as the prices on these objects devort advanced that the government became uneasy, in regard to the matter. Investigations were set on foot by the police and by the missionaries which resulted in a shocking discovery. The fact is that the demand having outrun the supply, the cupidity of the Indians of the eastern province was so stimulated that, having no prisoners of war, they were arranging ambucabies for each other, merely to obtain heads to embalm for the market. The archbishop of Quito promptly excommunicated the enterprising merchants who dealt in these grisly souvenirs, and the authorities forbade their sale under heavy penalties, whereupon the simple savage returned to less profitable employment and abandoned modern, methods of cutthroat commerce. Teach FLIRtation at School. A merry little dame was sitting at a party. "Girls learn such a lot of unnecessary subjects at school," she grumbled. "I wonder they are never taught flirtation. Just look at that bunch of them over there. They are simply dying to have a try with those boys, but as they don't know how to begin, they cling together like bathers afraid of the first plunge. It is sad to reflect that many women are born with a fear of man only equalled by a desire for his society. They never grow used to him, and discover how harmless he is, until they are too old for him to appreciate them properly. Man is a shy creature, and shy creatures never imagine others may be shy themselves. So these poor little hearts beat in uncongenial solitude; marriage, like other adventures, being for the bold. I really think a little training might be useful." Choosing One's Fiction. Fine fiction, like fine friendship, is a personal affair. Your friend is not to be of another's choosing. He is yours to elect; yours to have and to hold, or to love and lose, as the inner laws decree. Whether he be of your social or intellectual caste is a secondary matter; he must be of your soul's kin—or you must believe that he is till you learn better—and his quality to you is as individual as your taste in fruit or wines, in sunsets or marine painting—Elizabeth Stuart Phelps in Century. Caught Again. "John," said the wife sweetly, "do you know what day this is?" "Of course," said hubby, pretending to have remembered all the time; "it's the anniversary of our wedding day, dear." "No such thing!" frigidly answered the wife. "It's the day you promised to nail the leg on that old kitchen table." True Living. Whoever lives true life will live true live.—E. Browning.

NEGRO DOLLS VERY POPULAR -Nashville, Tenn.-According to information from the manager of the National Negro Doll Company of this city, who is receiving hundreds of dollars from the United States, Mexico, the West Indies, South America, and in fact, some of them coming from Liberia, orders are proving that the Negro Doll is the most popular toy that has ever been thrown on the market. Mothers, it is said, can be put before their little girls with all the propriety that is becoming the care of mothers. It is stated by the Doll Company people that this their third year, is the crowning or banner one. Orders have been poured in many units of doll company, ready been shipped. A large number of these are going to northern states, especially to Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, and even into Eastern and the New England states. Manager Boyd declares that the Doll Idea is not sectional, but nationwide. The company is printed in two colors, with a complete description, have made a big hit for the company which is located here at 519 Second Ave. North. Declared sane at Age of 108. Bellefontaine, O.

It is said he pastored St. Andrew's Episcopal Mission in Cleveland, some years ago. Allenced Lynchers: Face Trial. Alleged Lynchers-Face Trial.

Who was accused in the first Murray Watha is said to be a native of Haiti. He was arrested four days after the Lynching. Judge Wickham is presiding over the trial. GOMPERS' STRONG DENIAL Of the Malicious Statements He Was Reported to Have Made Week Before Reform After Land Worth $2,000,000. New York City. Property valued at over $2,000,000, and for which the legal heirs have been unknown many years, may come into the possession of Mrs. A. T. Waller and her sister Mrs. Sarah E. Giles, of Baltimore. The legal heirs of the great-grandfather of the ladies, William Jarvis, in 1751, and originally consisted of 120 acres, and is situated in the heart of Brooklyn. This property was left to the grandfather of Mrs. Waller and Mrs. Giles, and he sold some of it to a railroad. Being the property of the man that he had disposed of the entretract. The Pennsylvania railroad wanted to run a tunnel through the estate a few years ago, and condemned the right-of-way. Not being able to locate the legal heirs, to the ladies, he bought the banks, with which he pay the legal heirs, whenever they might be found. Some white people, who claimed to be members of the two ladies, had claim to the property, but the courts ruled them out on the ground that they were George Anderson, who resides at jamaica, L. L., heard about the property, and notified his cousins.

Live Long Without Feed. Carlson eating birds, such as the eagle and vulture, are able to live a long time without food, while some species of sea birds have been known to go without food as long as 24 days. Certain species of birds, living on their own fat, have been known to exist for two months without a morsel of food. From these facts naturalists have drawn the conclusion that all the famine-proof birds have a distinct advantage over the weaker varieties in the race for life in the wild. Rider and Bidden.

A- Successful Race Institution That Occupies a Fine New Building The Editor of The Gazette acknowledges the receipt of an highly illustrated catalogue of the Mechanics' Savings Bank of Richmond, Va., of which Mr. John Mitchell, Jr., editor of the Richmond Planet, is president. The bank occupies its own line, four story new building, completed last June an up-to-date structure in every respect. The bank's aggregate deposits last year were, nearly $400,000, Capital stock, $100,000. The bank building 'trouts' on Clay St. There are two store-rooms fronting Third St. 25 office rooms on the three upper floors, and on the roof a 'roof garden' covered with tile. The catalogue is a work of ari and a credit to our friend Mitchell's splendid printing plant. This is encouraging. VISITS QUEEN ONCE A MONTH Bachelor Confided to a Friend the Reason He Doesn't Care to Mingle With Society. "A bachelor friend of mine told me a little story when we were at the play, I have hung up in my bed. I think it is a gem," said Colin Hirks. The married couple have no children. They are not much on mixing themselves, but every fourth Sunday in the month they give a dinner to the seven year-old, miss, the only child of friends in the same part of town. To this dinner the bachelor is invited. When the repast is finished, the young miss is entertained with music and coats which the child understands. Then the bachelor takes the little one to her home. The bachelor's description of the child's beauty and dress, the secrets of the clever things she says, and the secrets of the miss, would make a pretty Christmas book if it were written by anybody who knew how to make word pictures. "My bachelor friend assured me that after he had enjoyed one of these dinners he had no desire to mingle. in what is called modern society. 'If he said, I can get to what is described as Better Land, I shall ascribe my good fortune to the atmosphere in which I live, and factor every fourth Sunday in the month, in which three grown-ups are the subjects of a child moon." Excusable Confusion. One who construes strictly the words which are found in ancient story and song may not infrequently read into the text a meaning exactly opposite to that the writer attempted to convey. A little study of some of these words almost convinces one that black may be white, and vice versa. It is related that in the panic of 1857 a Frenchman in New York said he feared he should lose all his "propriety." We smile at this, and yet we learn that "propriety" and "property" have exactly the same French derivation. We hear one speak of an "anecdote" and know that a short, diverting story is referred to. Etymologically it means something as yet unpublished. To prevent, which is now to hinder, meant in its Latin original to anticipate. A girl was anciently a young person of either sex. Paradise, in Oriental tongue, meant only a royal knave was once merely a lad and a villain a peasant. To be silly was, in its ancient sense, to be blessed. An idiot was a private citizen, as distinguished from an officeholder, much the same as in the present day. Shamefaced comes from a good Anglo-Saxon term which means not one exhibiting shame, but one protected by shame, being therefore innocent and modest. Indians as Diplomats I have often wondered why the diplomatic corps of this country did not employ Indians," said W. J. Kershaw in an address on "The American Indian" at the first fall meeting of the Wisconsin Anthropological society. "They possess the one supremacy of diplomat-ability to control their tongues. In addition to this the American Indian is an orator of no mean quality. He is a good worker, and it will be found that as soon as the white man stops treating the Indian both as individuals and tribes at the same time his ambition will be created. Timeliness All measures of reformation are effective in exact proportion to their timeliness; partial decay may be out away and cleansed; incident error corrected; but there is a point at which corruption can no more be stayed, nor wandering recalled. It has been the manner of modern philology to remain passive until that precise period, and to leave the sick to perish, and the foolish to stray, while it spent itself in frantic exertions to raise the dead, and reform the dust—Ruskin. Prize Winning Apples. A Butler county (Mo.) farmer stopped at a store in one of the small towns on his way to the county fair and picked a dime's worth of apples from a basket. He entered them at the fair and won a two-dollar premium. DOINGS OF THE RAGE Hugo Welley and Sam, Langford clash early in January. George Temple, 18 years a clerk in the City Hall, St. Louis, Mo., and eight years Deputy G. M. of the Odd Fellows, died recently. Within the past five years Afro-Americans of Macon County, Ala., have raised in cash $20,000 toward building schoolhouses and extending schoolterms. William H. Mitchell, a wealthy man of a proud family, was tried and found guilty of disguising as a Negro woman and assaulting a white girl. Gov. Brown of Georgia had been accused of laving to deal tentatively and insists that the limit be given him. Good! Dr. DuPont and the group of men whom "the Tuskweean" terms as "intellectuals," have not made such headway or gained much success to teach upon the material welfare of the money-mad Americans, but they reach those fundamentals which are the desire of all men of all climes.

We admire the vim which is being exhibited by the Negroes who reside in Oklahoma. They seem determined to get every right money and intelligence entities them to, and they are deserving, of the greatest commutation for the most spiritful struggle. They accept no unfair treatment without a protest, and whenever the opportunity presents itself, to the courts they go for legal redress. When Negroes elsewhere follow the example of those in Oklahoma, and wage a ceaseless warfare for their rights as do the Oklahomaans, they will find themselves in an extraordinary degree—Martinsburg (W. Va.) Pioneer Press. John Redmond, the great Irish leader and member of the English Parliament is said to have collected $200,000 in the United States with which to further home rule, for Irelands $200,000 in the United States of a race. One who does something in a substantial way to benefit his whole race. The Negro's idea of a race leader is one who has been fortunate enough to get before the public, and make a great stunt by some hook or the tail of a plane to the sky, at the same time the race benefited in the least. Getting wealth and holding office, and being a big politician give no right of leadership, or the woods would be full of them.

Every girl ought to bear in mind that decision is one of the most important attributes of life, and that too often the truth is proved of the who hostages is lost." Things should never be done by halves; if a thing is right to do it must be done boldly and at once, and if it be wrong, let it severely alone. Remember that each day and its actions constitute a little life, and that our whole life is but a day repeated.

Conservation, Ship Subsidy and Fortification of Panama Canal Leading Topics Discussed—Has Little to Say About Tariff. Washington, Dec. 6. —Economy in government affairs is the keynote of President Taft's annual message read before both houses of congress today. The message approximates 40,000 words and is one of the longest ever submitted by a president. Conservation of the public domain, ship subsidy, fortification of the Panama canal and the continuation of the present tariff board are the leading subjects touched upon. He also reviews the work of the various government departments and concurs in recommendation, tending toward the bettering of the service, made by several of the members of his cabinet. Economy Is Urged. In dwelling on the urgent need for economy in government expenditures, the president says: "Every effort has been made by each department chief to reduce the estimated cost of his department for the year 1912. I say this in order that congress may understand that these estimates thus made present the smallest sum which will maintain the departments, bureaus and offices of the government, and other obligations under existing law, and that a cut of these estimates would result in embarrassing the executive branch of the government in the performance of its duties. In order to the river and harbor estimates, except to those for expenses of maintenance and the meeting of obligations under authorized contracts, nor does it apply to the river and harbor programs, except for the program. Of course, as to these congress could withhold any part or all of the estimates for them without interfering with the disbursement of the ordinary office of its departments, bureaus and offices. "Against the estimates of expenditures $40,643,013.12, we have estimated, receipts for next year $80,000,000, making a probable expenditure of about $90,000,000, or taking into account the estimates for the Panama canal, which are $55,247,473.20, and which ultimately be paid in bonds, oil and gas, phosphate lands and water, and about $70,000,000, if congress shall include to fortify the canal." *Wants Forest Limitation Removed.* On the subject of conservation he devises considerable space to forest, coal, oil and gas, phosphate lands and water, and forest lands he says: "The law now prohibits the reservation of any more forest lands in Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, Colorado and Wyoming, except the department of agriculture that the government owns other tracts of timber land in these states which should be included in the forest reserves. I recommend to the government a limitation herein imposed, he reaffirms.* "Congress ought to trust the executive to use the power of reservation only with the purpose. During the present administration, 62,250 acres of land largely non-forested, 3,250 acres of forested reserves, and 3,250 acres of land principally valuable for forest purposes have been included in forest reserves, mining reserves, timbered land amounting to 2,250,000 acres. Wants Canal Fortified. Regarding the Panama canal, the president asserts that unless unexpected obstacles arise the waterway will be completed well within time limit of January 1, 2015, at $250,000,000. Suggestions for levying of tolls and management are made, and regarding fortification of the canal, he says: "Long questions arising for present solution is the decision whether the canal shall be fortified. I have already stated to the congress that I strongly favor fortification and I now referate this opinion and ask your consideration of the possibility of fortification before you made by a competent board. "Failure to fortify the canal would leave the attainment of both these aims in the position of rights and obligations and which would powerless to enforce, and which could never be adequately safeguarded against despair and irresponsible enemy." Ship Subsidy. The president urged such action as the president will increase American-trade bribery. "Another instrumentality indispensable to the unimplemented and natural development of American commerce is merchant marine. All maritime and commercial nations recognize the importance of this industry and are committed to our competitors, jealously foster their merchant marine. Perhaps nowhere is the need for rapid and direct mail, passenger and freight communication quite as important as the need for communication and Latin America. We can secure in no other quarter of the world such immediate benefits in friendship and commerce as would flow from the establishment of our communication with the countries of Latin America to meet the requirements of a rapidly increasing appreciation of the reciprocal dependence of the countries of the western hemisphere upon each other's merchant marine." I alluded to this most important subject in my last annual message: it has often been before you and I need not recapitulate the reasons for my recommendation of the completion of the Panama canal will find this the only great commercial na- A Quick Recovery. "It seems that prizefighters never 'come back.'" "Maybe not, but 'blind tigers' do. One resumed business the other day in 15 minutes after it had been raided." Repeating on Chance "I wonder why there are so many failures in the world." "Probably because so many people go through life hoping to win some day on a 100-to-1 shot." Hla Selection "I am afraid to go near Sharp's house or to meet him; he has such a vicious dog for a pet." "But you must remember that Sharp considers himself such a cynic he wouldn't keep any other dog than a biting kind." Department of the interior. Beymour—Did you visit the department of the interior while you were in Washington? Ashley—I guess so; I was in the sofa where the congressmen eat. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1910. tion unable to avail in international maritime business of this great contribution to the means of the world's commercial intercourse." Criticism of the Tariff. In the space devoted to the tariff the president says: "Whether or not the protective policy is to be continued, and the degree of protection, to be accorded to our home industries, are questions which the people must decide through their chosen "withdrawal" policy. It is clear that the necessary legislation should be based on an impartial, thorough and continuous study of the facts." Recommends Parcels Post. The adoption of the parcel post is again adopted. On this subject President Taft says: "With respect to the parcel post, it is important to allocate it on all rural delivery routes, and that it points—the International Limit—be made the limit of carriage in such post, and that it be made the parcel post that was made against the postal savings bank—that it is introducing the government into a business which is not a business and is paternalism. The postoffice department has a great plant and a great organization, reaching into the most remote areas of the country. This machinery is able to do a great many things economically that if a new organization were necessary it would be able to do without extravagant expenditures." Department of Justice. Discussing the affairs of the department of justice, the president says: of justice, the president says: "I invite special attention to the prosecutors' call for the 'basket shops' and of those schemes to defraud in which the use of the mail is an essential part of the fraudulent conspiracy, prosecutions which are made against the public and are saving them hundreds of millions of dollars. The violations of the anti-trust law present perhaps the most important litigation before the department, and the number of cases in which the government in enforcing that statute. "In a special message last year I brought to the attention of congress the need for a federal law providing for the incorporation of industrial and other companies engaged in interstate commerce, and I bring my recommendation in that regard. The United States of chapening the cost of litigation by simplifying judicial procedure and expediting final judgment is pointed out and looking to correction of these evils is urged. The president recommends an increase in the salaries of federal judges. In regard to postal hatters the president points with pride to its present efficient management and the recent reduction in the deficit. I present immediate comment with a suggestion for the adoption of better methods for its regulation. Abolish Navy Yards. The president calls attention to certain pressures urged by the secrecy of the navy which he recommends for adoption, including the need for the navy to have personal examination to a every navy yard, and has studied the uses of the navy in the war. He also recommends the navy to fleet. With a fleet considerably less than half the size of that of the navy, many ships shipwrecks more than doubled during the nine years of several of these shipyards expensively equipped with modern machinery, which after investigation the navy has ordered to abandon the naval purposes. He asks authority to abandon certain of them and to move their machinery to other places, where it will be used. Speaking of our foreign relations the president says: "During the past year the foreign relations of the United States have been the subject of friendship and good understanding. "The year has been notable as witnessing the pacific settlement of two important navies before the permanent court of the Hague. "The arbitration of the fisheries dispute between the United States and Great Britain is nearly continuous diplomatic correspondence since the fisheries convention of 1818, has given an award which is satisfactory to both parties. This arbitration is paralleled by the arbitration of a common fate, the clemently just results secured, but also because it is the first arbitration held under the general arbitration treaty of April 4, 1908, between the United States and Great Britain.

Town's Ammunition Stored for-Safe-Keeping in Unitarian Structure—No Fires Ever Kindled in Meeting House; Beverly, Mass. — The Unitarian church of Beverly is located on Cabot street in the central part of the city. For some years the parish was connected with Salem. In the winter of 1666 the people of the Beverly parish sent a petition to the Salem people stating that they wished to form a parish of their own in Beverly and to erect a house of worship. The petition was received. It was signed by Roger Conant and 48 other church members. On July 4, 1687, the subject of the petition was again considered and unanimous consent, was given Aug. 28 of the same year Mr. Hale accepted a call, and on Sept. 27 he was ordained. Previous to the ordination exercises the church was organized. The following provision was made by the society for Dr. Hale's support. His salary was to be £70 a year with 30 cords of firewood. It was further agreed that he should have the use of a new house, two acres of land to be fenced in, as a peach meadow as bore about four loads of hay and the benefit of the pasturing during the time that he remained with them in the ministry. If 1690 Mr. Hale was invited by the general court to join the expedition against Canada as chapman. This was strongly objected to on the part of the parish, but the objection did not seem to have weight and he went Mr. Hale died May 15, 1709, and Thomas Blower of Cambridge succeeded him, being ordained Oct. 26, 1709. The first meeting house was built in 1656, near the site of the present vestry. The second meeting house was built in 1682, on the site of the present vestry. The house was used in the transaction of the house and in 1757 a powder room was built. Unitarian Church at Beverly. for the safe keeping of the ammunition of the town. No fires were ever kindled in the meeting house, so it was considered a safe place for the storage of the powder. In 1755 the population of the parish was about 1,750 souls, and it became apparent that a larger edifice was needed, but it was not until 1770 that the old house was taken down to make room for a new one. The new house was built, and in 1795 it was enlarged. In 1825 it was again enlarged at a cost of $10,000, the whole structure being taken down with the exception of the stout oaken frame, and rebuilt in its present form. The church still stands and is in first class condition. REWARD AFTER MANY YEARS A Modest Hero Gets a Gold Medal From Uncle Sam for Life-Saving Bravery. Washington...After 32 years of wading, James Cummings, of Custer, Mich., a quiet hero, too modest to tell of his own bravery, has received from the treasury department a gold medal for his part in saving 44 lives from the wreck of the grazin barge Rutter, off Ludington, Mich., on November 1, 1878. Cummings was the engineer on the government harbor rigged Colonel Graham. In a raw November gale the Rutter went down in 18 feet of water, when the cargo shifted, and drove the crew of 44 into the rigging. There the men hung a night and a day, the levy water breaking over them. When Capt. Frederick Kendrick of the Graham volunteered to tow a lifeboat out to the wreck and the masters of sturder craft had shaken their heads and declared it a lost hope, Cummings, down in the dark hold of the tug, stood by the throttle and encouraged his firemen. in a sea that threatened to swamp the tug and carried off the lifeboat theyMought to the lee side of the river. In the middle of the river, Capt. Kendrick got a medal immediately, but the engineer below was forgotten, until Representative James McLaughlin recently heard of his case and brought it to the attention of the treasury department. Chinese Wedding Is Solemn Chinese Wedding is Solomon, San Francisco—A Chinese marriage is all ceremony—no talk, no levity, and much crying. The solitude of a funeral prevails. After the exchange of presents the bride is dressed with much care. A feast is spread upon a table, to which the blushing bride is led by five of her best female friends. They are seated at the table, but no one eats. The utmost silence prevails, when finally the mother leads off in a cry, the mails follow, and the bride echoes in the chorus. Then all the bridesmaids leave the table, and the disconsolate mother takes a seat beside the chair of state where the bride sits. The bridegroom now enters, with four of his best men. The men pick up the throne on which the bride sits and preceded by the bridegroom form in procession and walk around the room or into an adjoining parlor, signifying that he is carrying her away to his own home. The guests then throw rice at the happy couple. STATUE OF THOMAS B. REED Bronze Monument of the Late Speaker of the House Which Stands in Portland, Maine. Washington.—A bronze statue of the late Thomas Brackett Reed, for many years Speaker of the National House of Representatives, now stands on the western promenade overlooking Casco Bay at Portland, Mo. The statue is eight feet high, and represents the former speaker in an attitude of repose with a seroll in the lett hand. The pedestal is of Maine THE STATUE OF THE MAYOR OF BOSTON. Statue of Theos.

Photographs of the statue displayed in Washington, have been severely criticized. There is no one quite line, critics say of Tom Reed's strong face in the future that has been expected. Neither is it natural to see Tom Reed with a scroll in his hand, they say. He never used one. He very seldom used notes. Sometimes he had his desk piled with books and papers when he was making a long, confirmed effect, but generally speaking, Speaker Reed stood over and clear of everything as he drove home his well rounded periods. OKLAHOMA ARTESIAN WELLS A Recent Strike at Richfield, Kan. Has Induced Hope of Relief From Drought. Oklahoma City, Ok. All county, Oklahoma, is agitated over the prospect of artesian water, in which the farmers see a sure relief from the "drought" conditions which have prevailed throughout this section for the last three years. At Richfield, Kan. only eighteen miles above the Oklahoma water, a heavy flow of artesian water has been stocked with water from the mountain in oil wells. When the hole touched a depth of 10 feet the water rushed out with great force and the estimated volume of water is 150 gallons per minute. Hundreds of people from Oklahoma and the surround Artesian Well at Richfield. sling portion of Kansas have driven for miles in motor cars to visit the well. At Gatton, Hooker, Texhoma and other Oklahoma towns in old "No Man's Land," the citizens are full of enthusiasm over the big strike. They believe the formations in Oklahoma are practically the same as those around Richfield (and each of these towns is preparing to put down a well for purposes of demonstration. It is felt that a successful well will solve for all time to come the vexatious question of sufficient moisture in this section. Irrigation congresses have repeatedly been held in northwestern Oklahoma, but so far without practical result. "Old timers," however, assert that irrigation is by no means an absolute necessity. Those who have been here for many years say all this portion of Oklahoma needs is more farmers who have faith in the country and who will use intelligence in their methods. Irrigation, they say, is merely a sort of insurance against insufficient rains fall, just as it would be in Kansas or Missouri. Indian Summer. Washington - Indian summer In North America is a period of mild, balmy weather—usually occurring in November—characterized by clear sky and a hazy or smoky atmosphere, especially near the horizon. The name is said to be derived from the custom, among the Indians, of using this delightful time to harvest their corn. According to one of their tradition they always had a second summer of nine days just before the winter set in. Indian summer corresponds to a similar season prevailing during the late autumn in England and the Mediterranean countries, called "St. Martin's Summer," from St. Martin's Festival, which falls on Nov. 11. PERT YOUNG PRINCE PERT YOUNG PRINCE Oldest Son of King George V Is Now Sixteen. Typical Anglo-Saxon Lad Who Corres Before the World as Heir-Apparent to the British Crown. London - Prince - Edward - Albert Christian George Andrew Patrick David, Duke of Cornwall and Rothesay, Earl of Carrick, Jaron of Renfrew, Lord of the Isles and Great Seward of Scotland, Duke of Saxony and Prince of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, Prigee of Wales and Earl of Chester—these are the titles and names which appertain to the oldest son of George V, by the grace of God of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and of the British dominions beyond the seas, King, Defender of the Faith Emperor of India, and Victoria Mary, his queen. This lad is the twentieth who has borne the title of Prince of Wales, Associated with the title, and the many others which he bears, are many historical incidents which have vast importance in the eyes of the millions over whom it may be his destiny one day to rule, and which are of pictureque interest to multitudes in this and other countries. There is the story of the first Prince of Wales and the origin of the title, there is the story of the three teachers of Creew and the other insignia which belong to the office, there are stories, many of them tragic, associated with the boys and men who have borne the title before the prince whose investiture has just been confirmed. It is a typical Anglo-Saxon lad who compels to bow before the world as the keen agent of the lighthouse, crowned by the cool and timid story of being the picture of leap and good nature and all confidence weeps to celebrate a good deal of character in his life. It is saving a good deal to assert that he has been popular at his school if there is one place in the world where a boy must stand on his own merit it is at one of the great English schools. Princes and ordinary students from ordinary good families meet on a level there, and The Prince of Wales. only the superiors, good hearted 'hap, who is food of sports, who loves fair play, and who shows plenty of courage, good expect to have the likeness of his fellow students. And the liking of his fellow students, Edward Albert has had. This boy could take a prize at five. At seven a 'bavicee' came in a birthday present. Then, in order, camp swimming, skateboard, football and boxing. He is today one of the first class classmates of the kingdom. A boy could bathe, bap, gaveln him sweets to eat at the time of the birth of his brother, and all the pari-brainism of the campmen, trained his amusement when he was ten, twelve or eleven. The son of a palsy, he desired to be a naval officer. Therefore, he was sent to toiletry, and when his training there was completed he was removed to the Britannia, the training ship who generations of British sea men have been trained, and aboard her at Bertmouth he is now at work. PRISONERS OF WAR 40 YEARS Two Germans Captured by France in 1870 Have Just Been Released From French Guiana. Berlin. A local paper describes the tracery of two German soldiers taken prisoners of war in the Franco-German campaign of 1870, who have been enlistment in captivity 40 years. Both were slightly wounded when captured and were conveyed with other prisoners to France. For some reason unknown the two became separated from the other prisoners, who were released and sent back to Germany when the war ended. Becoming somehow classified as common criminals the two不fortunate were deported to French Guiana, where they remained in the penal settlement until now, after 40 years, they have been released for continuous good conduct and unaged to work their way home. Both found their wives alive, but one had been remarried four years ago. The paper, adds the report, will be laid before the German government in order that a claim of compensation be made on the French government. Her Scheme Went Awry. New York. At a dinner last winter one of New York's prominent bankers was dilating on the dangers of deceit. By way of illustration he told of a society woman who saw in a jeweler's window a beautiful collar of pearls, which she wanted very much. Upon inquiry she learned, the price was $6,000. Thereupon she gave her check for $3,000, saying she would send he husband to see the pearls, and if he could be persuaded to buy them he was to be told the price was only $3,000. The jeweler, being familiar, with that sort of game, readily agreed. The husband called duping the day to see the pearls and that evening told his wife he had bought them, since they were evidently such a bargain. His wife was more than delighted and immediately asked if he had brought home the collar, to which he replied: "Why, no, my dear; I had it sent to my mother. You know it is her birthday tomorrow." DEATH OF EX-MAYOR GRANT Twice Chief Executive of New York and a Man of Great Prominence. New York. One of the most prominent figures in the political life of New York City 20 years ago was Hugh J. Grant, who died in the metropolis recently, at the age of 55. He was a native of the metropolis and received his education at St. Francis Navier College and in France and Germany, where he studied languages and music. Afterward he studied law at the Columbia Law School and engaged in real estate and legal business. In 1882 he entered politics, being elected alderman, and his course in the board the following year in opposition to boodle legislation made him a candidate for mayor on the Tammany ticket in 1884. He was defeated. Hugh J. Grant. however. In 1855 he was elected sheriff and three years later was chosen mayor, and was re-elected in 1860. He was Mayor Grant who made the telephone and telegraph companies take down their overhead wires. The wires formed a network over the city, intercepting with firemen and forming a damson and a nuisance. When the subways were ready and the wires did not come down Mayor Grant settled the controversy in a characteristic way. He went out with gangs of linemen, laborers and axmen and chopped down the poles and toro down the wires. In 1854 he was again a candidate for mayor, but met with defeat at the polls. He the, whidweth from active participation in politics. Naylor Grant was a man of the physical proportions and was big intellectually he was wonded of outdoor life, took a deep interest in training horses and was a member of several golf Club. He married a daughter of ex-Senator Murphy of Troy. In business he amassed a large fortune and was charitable during his life in his disposition. At Christmas time he spent large sums in charity. While Mayor Grant like his great namesake, Gen. Grant, was a man of silence, he was not in the least morose. MOST REMARKABLE FISHHOOK Primitive Affair Used by the Indians of Alaska for Catching Halibut. St. Paul Minn. The picture illustrates a halibut book used by the Indians in Alaska. It is about nine inches long and two inches wide in the widest portion. From top to bottom of the fork it looks like five inches. A heavy sinker is attached to the cord that is seen descending from the lower fork of the book, and this sinker rests on the bottom when the book is in action. The book itself dongs about two feet above the sinker, and is kept Fish Hook of Wood. In the position shown in the illustration by the strips of light cedar that are tied to the upper fork of the hook. The hook itself is of wood in two pieces, lashed together by thongs of some kind of hide, with a steel prong lashed to the upper part of the fork with thongs of hide. A piece of salmon steak is placed on the hook prong, and the halibut comes along and tries to cat it. When the wily redskin feels a tug on his fishline he gives it a jerk and the hook prong is driven into the lower jaw of the halibut and the fish is caught. Halibut weighting as high as 200 pounds have been caught on these primitive hooks. The hook illustrated was brought to St. Paul by Martin Kennedy, Jr., on his return from his recent trip to Alaska. One peculiarity that puts this hook out of the ordinary class of salmon and halibut hooks is that the lower prong is carved in the shape of an idol. Alfonso's Silver Jubiler Madrid.—Early next spring King Alfonso will celebrate his silver jubilee, the 25th anniversary of his accession to the throne, and already elaborate preparations are being made for festivities of all kinds in connection with the event. The jubilee will coincide with the young soverever's 25th birthday. He alone among the monarchs of Europe, commenced his reign on the very day, indeed, at the very hour, that he came into the world, having been born six months after the sudden death of his father. During the interval his elder sister, the late Infanta Mercedes, had occupied the throne, from which she stepped down to make way for him on his birth, becoming thus, at the age of 6, the very youngest of former queens.

TOWN..... STREET AND NO..... STATE.... The arrival of the aeroplane has given us a new industry, or rather a modification of an old one, namely, that of manufacturing aviator cord and aviator wire. The Roebillings have devised a special kind of wire aviator cord to be used for stays on aeroplanes. The cord consists of a number of fine wires of great strength stranded together. The strength of the different sizes runs approximately from 2,000 to 2,000 pounds. For steering gear a more flexible cord is produced, a more flexible strand of seven wires each, with a diameter of either cotton or wire. The aviator wire differs from aviator cord in that it consists of a single wire instead of a number of wires twisted together. The wire is made in twelve sizes, with a breaking strength that varies from 2,000 pounds to 175.—Scientific American. Custom Dates: From Old Times Custom Dates From Old Times. We go back to knights of old for the first time. We go from the left side. Those gallant knights wore a sword on that side, which made it inconvenient if not impossible to mount from the other side; so it was chosen as necessity, and such practice is almost universal in civil life, today and a requirement in the service. Name Spelt In Various Ways The orthographic liberate that are taken with the good, old-fashioned name of Catherein—or Catherein—are increasing Among the earlier ones was the spelling of the name with a "K." Then came others, among them Kathleen, Kathaieen, Katrine, Katrina and later Katrine and Kathryn—not to mention Katherina and several others.
