Dean stanley. H.nd~ri.lnx.


Dean Stanley, though he wrote let
ters so illegible that his correspond
ents had to guess at the meaning Of
his scrawls, was loved because he was
transparent and guileless. The fret
proofs Of his "sinai and Palestine" in
formed the reader that from the mon
astery Of Sinai was visible "the horns
Of the burning beast" The dean
Thought he had written "the horizon
of the Burning Bush The samo
proof sheets stated that on turning the
shoulder Of MOUNT Olivet in the walk
from Bethany, there suddenly burst
upon the spectator magnificent view
of-Jones!" The printer had read
"Jerus"-the deans abbreviated way
of writing "Jerusalem''-as Jones"
Once lady who had invited him to
dine was obliged to write back and
ask whether his note was acceptance
or refusal. A workman, to whose
question the dean had written an an
swer. wrote him humbly requesting
that the reply might be written out by
some ONE else. 'as he was not familiar
with the handwriting of the aristoc-
racy!"

Amid the discomforts of life and tho
fullness therof. reaching to every
family. there Is that which can 20
easily mitigate or entirely cure, the
wonder 10 why we endure and suffer
70 much. From big paina to little
aches. which are the wear and tear
OF the physical structure Of man, there
are always remedies good. better and
best. The choice should be always for
best rs the surest and the cheapest In
chronic or acute suffering with rheu-
matlsm, neuralgia. sciatica or lum-
bago. or with the minor ailments OF
sprains and bruises. or of soreness and
stiffness. the efficacy OF St Jacobs Oil
and the fuliness thereof in SO many
complete and perfect cures make 1t
stand out as the best remedy for pain.
Why. then. should we stand on the
order Of going for 1t. and not go at
once. In numberlcss cases the eggra-
vatIors Of discomforts and pains are
from delay. Why should we suffer!

The French peasant has an indie

the soil he tills. II he employs labor

and garden, and hope to own plot.
The English villager is either small
tradesman or laborer. A garden
which he cultivates but does not own
Is, us a rule, the extent of his posses
sions. There are two classes in an
English village. and these may be sub
divided into various religious sects.
There IL only one class in our French
commune-n fact which has material
bearing upon the social economy of the
community. Every inhabitant Of the
commune Is proprietor of something.
and NIL are bent on saving, yet, with
nll their individualism, they combine
for common and mutual interest. This
Is illustrated by the organization of
the syndicate for buying Mt wholesale
prices. They unite for the cultivation
of the soil. lending each other horses
and making up teams. Every COM
mune has field. which is common
property. and where. on payment Of n
trifling fee. animals Craze. After the
harvest all the fields become common
property. and the gros betail and the

TO every corner ofthe world by the praise
Of Its friends; those who have triedit and

with its purifying and viiaiizing action on

PERSISTENT IN THEIR LOVE-,
ra.as st. I..,. cs.p'. |. Married As..-

Young st. Loais Coapas IL Married After
. Series Of DIsappoiasments.
A would-be bride and the young man
started out the other day in st. Louis
to ge. married without their relatives
consent. but before they ended their
guest they found that the simpler way
OF asking father" at once would have
been more expeditions. The instance
Of misdirected zeal in a search after
matrimonial bliss was furnished by
Timothy Mullaly OF 4251 Hunt avenue
and Miss Mamie White Of 4431 Swan
avenue. Mr.. Mullnly and his prospcc-
tive bride called at the courthouse and
applied for a marriage license. The
clerk refused to entertain their requeSt.
however, because they were under age
and unaccompanied by parents or guar
dian. The lovers were in no wise dis
couraged. but that afternoon made
pilgrimage to Clayton and there re-
newed their application for license.
Deputy Recorder Wetzel was even more
hard-hearted than the st. Louis officer
OF matrimony. for he declined to accept
their statement that they were OF legal
age. Their looks plainly belied their
words. Mr.. Wetzel declared. At this
second failure Mr.. Mullaly and Miss
White were much downcast. but they
Frightened up when one who pitied
their plight informed them that they
could secure license to wed at Alton.
To the Illinois town the young couple
quickly repaired. They applied to JUS
tice Quarton for a license and were
overjoyed when told he would issue
one to them. They wanted TO be mar
ried by priest, however. as the young
lady is Catholic SO they deferred pur-
chasing the document until they could
md out whether or not priest would
marry them. They called at the cathe-
dral and saw Bishop Ryan. who. much
to their dismay. declined to perform
ceremony. The couple must first se-
cure dispensation from Miss Whites
parish priest in st. Louis. the bishop
said. Mr.. Mullaly and his fiancee re-
turned to st. Louis and took their rela-
tives into their confidence. The elder
people did not oppose the contemplated
marriage. On the contrary, they agreed
to be parties to 1t, and one morning
last week little party composed OF

attention II called to the fact that
thuuderstorms are very rare phenom-
ena there. The observatory is more
than 1000 feet above sea-level. and near
the summit Of the volcano, yet 1t has
not been found necessary to protect it
with lightning rods. The absence of
thunderstorms has been accounted for
on the supposition that the smoke and
hot vapor constantly rising from the
great crater Of Etna act a. q lightning
conductor on grand scale.

THIRTY NILES ron AN ACORN.
The Indnstrv of Mexican Dird In Collsot-
ing Provisions.

36o xn0u1trv OF . Aextcou 0lt0 In CollooS-
ing Provisions.
Down in Mexico there lives a wood
pecker who stores his nuts and acorns
In the hollow stalks Of the yuccas and
magueys, according to st. Nicholas.
These hollow stalks are separated by
joints into several cavities, and the sa-
gncious bird has somehow found this
out, and bores hole ut the upper end
of each joint, and another Mt the lower.
through which to extract the acorns
when wanted. Then 1t hlls mp the
stalks solidly and leaves Its store
there until needed, safe from the dep
redations of any other thievish bird "
four-footed animal.
The first place in which this curiOn
habit was observed was on n hill In
the midst of Il desert. The hill was
covered with yuccas and magueys, but
the nearest oak trees We're thirty miles
away, and so. 1t was calculated, these
Industrious birds had to make flight
of sixty miles for each acorn slowed
thus in the stalks.
An observer OF birds remnrks:
"Thcre are several strange features TO
be noticed In these facts-the provi-
dent instinct which prompts this bird
to lay by stores of provisions for the
winter. the great distance trayersed to
collect II kind Of food so unusual for
Its race, and Its seeking in place SO
remote from Its natural abode a store
house so remarkable
Can instinct alone teach. or have ey-
perience and reason taught, these
birds that far better than the bark OF
trees or creviccs in rocks or any other
hiding place are these hidden cavities
they make for themselves In the hol-
low stems of distant Dlants?
This we cannot answer. But we do
know that one of the most remarkable
birds in our country is this California
woOdpecker. and that he is well enti-
tied to his Mexican name of FL Car
pintero-the carpenter bird.

A FAMOUS BUILDING.
ONCE THE UNITED STATES Ex-
EcUTIvE MANSION.


Washington Letter to Philadelphia
Times: One Of the most interesting
houses In the city of Washington Is
that which stands ON the corner OF New
York avenue and Eighteenth street.
commonly known as the "Octagon
house." 1t is interesting on account OF
the fact that 1t was once used as the
executive mansion. In 1913. Colonel
John Tayloe. whose reputation seems
to have been based largely on the fact
OF his being the richest man in Vir-
ginia. decided to build a home for him
self and family In the city Of Philadel-
phia, but owing to the persuasions Of
General Washington. changed his mind
and built instead the Octagon house. In
wha: was considered In those days a
very out OF the way portion OF the city.
General Washington assisted in making
the plans and took the keenest interest
In Its erection. Colonel Tayloe enter
tained what was known as the unoffl-
cial set. which comprised some of the
hrst families OF Washington, but 1t was
not until the burning of the white
house In 1914 that 1t became a political
center Then 1t was that he removed
his family to one OF his Virginia plan
tations and offered to rent the house
to President Madison. which offer was
accepted. Although unoccupied for
years, 1t stands today almost the same
as 1t stood in the days when men and
women OF fashion thronged its rooms.
On ascending flight OF stone steps and
entering the broad doorway. one finds
himself In q hall almost circular In
shape: the marble tiling which once
formed the floor Is now superseded by
pine boards; two stoves of antique pat
tern front each other from inches in
opposite walls. Beyond 10 another
hall. from which opens on the right
the ball room where Dolly Madison held
some OF her famous receptions. Aside
from the height of the ceilings and the
size Of the room there is nothing left
to remind one Of its ancient splendor
