Ancient ThermopYim.

An officer of the English intelligence
department reports that in spite of tho
fact, which is well known, that the sea
has receded since ancient times, the
strategical position Of this ancient pass
is still immensely strong. The alterna-
tive route by Dcleghi, which crosses the
hills mile and Il half north of tho
springs by we'll engineered zigzags, is
equally capable of defense and leads i'll
to Il country of most difficult charac-
ter. Either pass might be held indefi-
nitely by 5000 men. The coast road is
absolutely commanded from tho heights
80 that comparatively small force
would render it impossible, while the
fiat lowland lying near the sea is
marshy and intersectod by dikes.
The Roanoke times. (Roanoke, Va.) 1897-1977, 1897-08-13

AT very early period in the north
ern republics of Italy commerce and
manufacture became very active, due in
a great measure to the stimulus given
by the maritime supremacy of the cities
of Genoa, Pisa and Venice and to the
corresponding activity III trade in such
prosperous interior cities as Milan,
Florence. Bologna and Padua. Milan
and Mantua gave US milliners and man
tua makers, and Leghorn attached its
name to Il certain kind of hat and straw.
England, Ireland and Scotland have
given number of names to fabrics
made i'll certain localities, of which
tweeds, cheviots and linsey woolsey are
familiar examples. Worsted comes from
tho village of Worsted, near Norfolk,
and drugget may be traced to Droghe-
da, Ireland.
Other materials of diverse origin are
batiste, so called from it's French in
ventor, Baptiste, and grenadine, which
was first made III. Grenada. The dcri-
walton of the word jet is quite interest
ing. 1t was first found near the river
and town of Gagas, i'll Asia Minor,
whence its old French name, gagate,
Jayet or jaet, which eventually devel.
Oped into the English Jet.

was in the car. When bedtime came.
he struggled with his boots. He first
put one foot Oh his knee and tugged.
AS he was travelling his boots were new.
The boot wouldn't bulge in that posi-
ton, SO he placed the toe of the other
boot against the heel and tried it that
way. The boot stuck. Then he hooked
his foot around the other leg and took

said.
So the porter took OFF his jacket and
turned back his cuffs and went to work.
He tugged and pulled and seesawed
