La Grippe Again.

The re-appearence of the ''GripN
calls to mind the experience of jus.
q, jones, publisher of the Leader,
Mexia, Texas. He was sick IN bed
for ten days with the grip during its
prevalence a year or two ago. Later
in the season he had second attack.
He says: SIN the later case | used
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and
with considerable success, | think,
only being in bed little over two
days. The second attack, am sat
isiied, would have been equally as bad
as the first, but for the use of this
remedy 1t should be borne in mind
that grip is much the same " severe
cold and requires precisely the same
treatment When you wish to cure
a cold quickly and etfectually give

Masks are OF very ancient origin.
In tomb 5000 years old, at Mycene,
DR.. Schliemann found two bodies with
faces covered by masks of gold. One
of the masks represented the head OF
a hon. Among ancient Greeks the
lion mask was sign Of distinction.
With the Peruvians of old it was a
mark of royal lineage. In a grave of
considerable antiquity in Peru a sill
Yer mask was found on the head of a
mummy. The mummy of a prince,
who lived in the reign Of Rameses II,
discovered in a small vault at Mem
phie, in Egypt, had mask of gold

The origin of the fan in China is
said to have sprung from the follow
ing incidents a royal princess, very
beautiful was assisting at the feast Of
lanterns, her face covered with q
musk, as was usual. The excessive
heat compelled her to remove it, and
in order to guard her features from
the common gaze she moved it
quickly to and fro in front of her face,
thus simultaneously hiding her
charms and cooling her brow. The
idea was at once adopted throughout
the kingdom. Catherine de Medici
carried the first fan from Italy ever
seen in France, and in the time of
Louis XIV the fan, covered with
jewels, was worth a small fortune.

now than in the time of Bishop Co.
lenso thirty years ago. After the
Bishop published his book showing
that certain statements and figures in
the Peutateuch were untrue he found
himself almost universally ostracised.
Men and women whom he had known
intimately from childhood refused to
speak to him. And SO general was
he detestation OF him that his laun-

wash his clothes, because she lost
customers by coming in such close

Crlnolinc Story.

Crlnolinc Story.
The hoop-skirt-scare brings TO
mind an incident-perhaps it might
moro appropriately be- called an ac-
cident-which happened in an old
colony town when the criuoline was
last permitted by the decree OF fash
ion.
AS is usually the case in country
towns, the high and grammar schools
were in the same building. although
in separate apartments. 1t was then "a
custom In the grammar school-as it
always has been. and probably as it
will ever continue to be--to compel
the pupils to write compositions. If
that should over become an elective
study it would bring happiness " the
hearts of many children, says the
Boston Herald
The art of writing with case and
effect is mastered by few small boye,
under the best conditions. and in this
school the training was not such as
TO bring out any latent facility in
English composition. Tho task Of
writing compositions was looked
upon by the pupils, therefore, as an
irksome duty, and any expedient that
promised assistance in the way Of
relieving their difficulties stirred up
no monitor of reproach in their ten-
der and plant conseiences,
In this depressing intellectual at
mo pherea boy Of twelve was ordered
TO write u composition. It was to be
read on the Friday afternoon follow
ing the day on which he received
the assignment. Tho boy was ab-
Bolutely de,titute of ideas. lie
couldn't tn nix of a topic to write on.
In his dilemma he turned to q heap
of rubbish in the back yard, which
contained tho accumulated sueopln %
of the school-room for years. His
instinct told him that he might not
only find a sub,e there, but CON-
position ready made and complete.
His industry was properly reward
cd. In searching tho heap OF waste
he came upon composition that bore
the name of a high school girl OF II.
1t had been read by her TO the
school and had then been swept out
by tho janitor. The boy copied the
esay word for word. Ii vas well
written and the boy prlded himself
that he would make tremendous i'm
preston on the school in reading it.,
That his plagiarism might DO de-
tected did not occur to him He did
not even take the precaution TO look
up the meanings of several words
that were unfamiliar to him.
Friday afternoon came, aud in duo
time the small boy was called to read
his essay. 1t was filed with school
girl rhetoric descriptive of the trip
of party oyer green fields, through
lovely woods and by the banks OF the
murmuring streams The members
of tho party were out in search OF q
days fun, and presently they reached
big barn by the wayside. Going
up into the loft they proposed to
have some sport by jumping in the
hay
The boy read from his essay that
in jumping from the rafters TO the
hay his movements were impedod by
his crinoline, so he Invested himself
of that incumbrance.
OF course this remark fairly par
aly1ed the portion of the school that
understood the word the boy had
failed to comprehend. The teacher
took the boy in, and with merci-
less severity logged him in the pres
enoe of the school
The reldlng of the composition
was never finished.

WORLDS FAIR STOCK SHOW.

The Worlds Fair stock show opened with
fine display of animals. There were many
ponderous stations of shaggy names that al
most make the earth tremble they move,
and along with them come the fiery-eyed,
1eet-footed Arabian and Kentucky steeds,
with shiny. satin-like coats There are horses
from every State in the Union, of every grade
and variety.
Besides the 1905 head of cattle and 1917
horses, there are over 1900 head of sheep and
1900 hogs. In the south end of the grounds
are forty stables, each 200 feet long and forty
two feet wide. equipped with everything to
make comfortable habitation for the aristo-
cratic competitors.
With their stalls occupied by the choicest
possessions of the stock raisers. the livestock
stables have become the center Of attraction.
The Gar of Russia has sent twenty-one
horses to the Fair. Some of them have pedi-
grees that run back 125 years. and there are
stations in the group that 500. 900 can not
buy. Guard Captain of Cavalry F. NJ. Imna-
loft was sent as special delegate to look after
the horses which were from the stables of his
Highness, the Grand Duke Dimitry. The
horses are classed as standard Orloff trotters.
heavy and light types. and Orloff half-breeds
weight-carriers for heavy cavalry pur-
poses.

represented by number Of fine horses.
