A War Lasting One Hundred and
Thirteen Years.

Isabella was the daughter of a
French king in the fourteenth century,
and the wife Of an English one, Ed
ward H., who was deposed by his par
lament, and murdered in a dungeon
in Berkley castle. This Isabella was
perhaps the cause of more misery to
both England and France than any
woman who ever lived. She became
the enemy of her spouse, returned to
France and fomented a rebellion
against him, kept the Young prince
! (her son, who atterward became Ed
ward lII.) away from his father, in
vaded England with an army, and as.
sisted in defeating and deposing her
husband the king
Edward III. claimed the throne of
France as the grandson of the father
of Isabella, which claim was opposed
by another scion of royalty. Then
commenced a sanguiHary war, which
lasted one hundred and thirteen years,
in which the Black Prince, son of Ed
ward Ill, the duke of Bedford, king
John of France, Joan of Are and
many other historic personages figured
csnspicuously. The spirit in which it
was prosecuted may be judged by that
in which it was commenced. The
knights aud gentlemen of England as
sembled under the presidency of the
crown, and bound themselves "to raw
age and massacre without pity, to spare
neither mill nor altar, nor pregnant
women, nor relative nor friend" From
1897 to 1850, with short intermissions
sons and grandsons and great grand
sons espousing and bequeathing the
quarrels of their progenitors. Mobiles
ecclesiastics and common people shared
alike the cruel destruction. At time
France, which was the theater of tn,
war, became so impoverished tina
many of her citizens starved to death
and the various provinces were s
alienated that they almost -"--'''

Extremes Meet.

Eggs can he cooked by the extreme
of cold as well as by the extreme of
heat. Butter can be made like ivory
so that il can turned. We may by the
agency OF either solidify many Of the
other liquid substances, and, indeed,
many of tnc gaseous, but a more in
tense degree of cold is used, and we
employ laughing gas. This laughing
gas, which is heavy, is the carbonic
acid we have shown; when squeezed
forcibly by the pump it becomes as
beautiful AMI pellucid a liquid as car.
bonic acid, and If allowed to remain
produces a most intense degree of cold
We can, however, show the liquid.
Let me ask you, however, to observe,
prior TO making that experiment, a
very curiously interesting one in re-
gard to the spheriodal shape of the
matter. We have here a glass lamp,
and we place over this lamp a platina
dish. In the platina dish we place
some of this mixture of solid carbonic
acid, in the middle of it introduce the
the mercury, and we shall find that
tho mercury would freeze, showing
that we have Geld at least forty de-
grees below zero.
We used to make an experiment
such as melting lead intensely hot and
then putting the hand in and ladling
it from one vessel to another; for if,
in lieu Of this, you take a quantity Of
melted iron you can plunge your hand
into it with impunity. and workmen
have been able to walk on bed of
melted iron. Take poker and put it
in coal fire, get it very hot, and you
may lift it or wipe it on the tongue
with impunity. You may have it SO
hot that the vapor actually protects us.
Here we shall have a more extra.
ordinary illustration of it, for we can.
not only make ice, but can freeze mur.
curry. We will fill this little thimble
with mercury and as soon as it is in.
tensely hot will introduce the mixture
aud will show this curious illustration
and attempt to freeze mercury. Those
who make the experiment of the
heated lead please TO have the lead in
tensely hot and you will find that il
gives out cold.

Benefit of Being Knocked About.

1t is good thing for young man
to be knocked about in the world,
although his soft-hearted parents may
not think so. All youths, or if not
all, certainly nineteen-twentieths of the
sum total, enter life with a surplusage
of selfconceit. The sooner they are
relieved the better. If, in measuring
themselves with wiser and older men
rhan themselves, they discover that it
il unwarrantcd, and get rid of il grace
fully If their own accord, well and
good; if not, it is desirable, for their
own sake, that it should be knocked
out Of them.
A boy who is sent to Il large school
soon finds bis level. liz will NAV
have been paramount at home; but
school-boys are democratic in their
ideas, and ii arrogant, he is sure to be
thrashed into recognition of the
golden rue. The world is n great
public school, and it soon teaches a
new pupil his proper place. If he has
the attributes that belong TO a leader,
be will be installed into the position
of leader; if not, whatever his own
opinion of his abilities, he will be
compelled to fall back into the rank
and file. If not destined to greatness
the next best thing to which he can
aspire is respectability; but no man
can be truly great or truly respectable
who is vain, pompous, and overbearing.
BY the time the novice has found
his legitimate social position, be the
same high or low, the probability is
the same disacreeable traits of his char.
acter will be softencd down and worn
away. Most likely the process of
abrasion will be rough, very rough,
but when it is all over, and he begins
TO see himself as others see him, and
not as reflected in the mirror of self.
conceit, he will be thankful that he
has run the gauntlet, and arrived
through by Il rough road of know
ledge.
Upon the whole, whatever loving
mothers may think to the contrary. il
is good thing for youths to be knocked
about in the world. 1t makes men of
them.

for the ambition of would-be sover.
eigns.
Kings aud dukes in those days
claimed not only certain countries, but
also the people who inhabited them.
They arrogated the right to force them
freM their homes and pit them against
each other, as at Crecy and Agincourt,
until the ground was soaked with
blood and the corpses were piled
high on each other. Their motto was
"rule or ruin" and while they did
not always succeed in ruling, they
never failed in running.
Since 1859 the race has made some
progress in the right direction. The
thirty years war of the German refor-
nation, and the vars ef Napoleon
from 1893 to 1915 were certainly long
enough. But since then we recall no
great war between so-called christian
nations which has continued longer
than three or four years.

The General Land Office.

The following are the main point:
of interest in the annual report of Hon.
J. A. Williamson, commissioner of the
general land Office:
The cash receipts of the Office during
the fiscal year ended June 30, 1876,
aggregated s2,7l7,215. The total
number of acres of public lands dis
posed of during the year was 1924
326, of which 2,S75,9l0 acres were
absorbed by homestead entries; CO.,.
6S6 acres were obtained by entries
under the timber.culture law; ,O0S,,
600 acres were approved to variou:
states as swamp-lands; | lis, 900 acres
were certified to railroads under land
grants OF Congress, and 64O,692 acres
were disposed OF by ordinary cash
sales. The total disposals were 545,
945 acres less than those of the pre-
ceding year; q ,s06,517 acres were
surveyed during the fiscal year, and
$50, ,253, ,034 acres had been previously
surveyed, yet leaving to be surveyed
in the lands, states, and territories OF
the United States, /, ,l32, ,665,244 acres.
The commissioner concurs in the
opinion of his predecessor, that the
public domain west of the Tooth me.
ridian and east of the Sierra Nevada
mountains should not be surveyed in
minute subdivisions according to the
present system, except only the small
portions which are susceptible of cul.
tivation without artificial irrigation.
He furthermore recommends, in re.
gard to this portion of the country,
that barren lands should he thrown
open to purchase in tracts cf unlimited
size. as they are worthless without irri.
CATION, which cannot profitably he un.
dertaken for the small areas of 160
acres each. He likewise renews the
recommendation of commissioner Bur
dette, that as the only practicable
means of preserving the forests and
country from waste and destruction,
the government timber lands should
be transferred to private ownership
by Immediately surveying and offering
them for sale in unlimited quantities,
at not less than properly appraised
valuation. Commissioner Williamson
also recommends the consolidation OF
the pre-emption and homestead laws
into one general homestead system,
and urges the correction of certain
errors in the compilation of the revised
statutes, and suggests legislation au
thorizing the bureau to dispose of it:
publications, such as the centennial
map and the centennial atlas, at prices
which will cover their cost and meet
the continuous heavy demands fol
them, which have now to he almost

Cromwell's Bible.

In the collection of bibles in the
centennial exposition is copy of
CromwelPs bible, so called because he
published an edition of such size that
each soldier could carry it in his KNAPP

Naseby in whose knspsack copy was
found penetrated with bullet, which

followed by the officers, who dragged
in the landlord and his confederates.
"Oh, father" she cried, "yeu are
safe, safe!' and throwing her arms
around his neck the brave girl burst
into happy tears.
The sheriff and his posse of men
held the landlord and his coniederates
in vice-like grasp, while Carrie related
the adventures of her perilous ride.

Carrie paused, and turning to a fine
looking man near her, said, "Mr.
james, by his ready belief in what |
told. and his energy and spirit in arous-
ing the sheriff and his men, has been
the main cause in bringing assistance. :"
Mr.. Spencer grasped the young
mans hand, and thanked him.
"Your plan succeeded admirably,
Carrie he said, and advancing to the
washstand he took out the mony-belt,
saying, "NIy money is all right, as
You see"
The landlord quivered with rage as
he saw how completely he had been
defeated.
As the men began to search the
room, the landlord protested his inno-
cence. declaring that they had no right
10 hold him or his men prisoners, or to
search his house.
Breaking open the door, above which
was the bust, the men rushed in.
The room was empty, save for long
ladder, which reached shelf above the
door. \ hole above the shelf dis
closed the bust to be broken in half, so
that a man could easily climb up the
ladder, get on the shelf, thrust his head
in the bust, which was large enough
for an ordinary. sized mans head, and
see all that was going on in the ad-
joining room.
This certainly looked suspicious, but
absolute proof was yet wanting.
On returning to the room occupied
by Nh. Spencer, they again searched
every nook and corner.
Suddenly, Carrie and Mr. James,
who he'd been standing by the fireplace,
gave loud cry, for on close examin-
alton they had found spots OF blood
on the bricks which formed the hearth.
They began to pull up the bricks,
which proved loose, when Carrie, feel
ing faint, gave way to the sheriff and
his men, who soon had them all pulled
up, when a cavity was disclosed, con-
tanning the murdered body of gentle
man whom Mr.. james and the sheriff
remembered to have stopped at s.
three days before.
The evidence was conclusive.
The landlord and his coniederates
were well guarded through the night,
and the next day they were lodged in
Jail, where in due time they were sem
fenced and suffered the extreme penal
ty OF the law.

Found Dead-A Singular Life.

Peter w. January, a brother of ID.
A. January, and one of the Oldest
citizens of st. Louis, was found by
officer Mcmahon at III o'clock Friday
night, lying dead on the doorstep Of
No. III North Eighth street. He
wore only pants and shirt, and it was
evident that he had arisen from bed
and come down to the street for some
purpose, and died when he reached
the doorstep. He was about seventy
five years old, and death was in all
probability the result of age. Mr..
January was very eccentric man.
1t is said that he never, in all his life,
took drop of any intoxicating drink,
and that he was most abstemious man
in every other respect. He never was
married, and has always manifested
the characteristics of hermit. In
his late years he has lived entirely
alone most of the time, occupying a
house on Walnut street between Sixth
and Seventh, then one on Washington
avenue between Twelfth and Thir-
teenth, and then the one in which he
died. His relatives provided for his
wants, and did for him that he would
permit them to do, but such was his
peculiar disposition that he had no in.
innate associates, and would allow
neither friend or relative to visit him,
nor would he permit the presence of q
servant, although he occupied an en-
