Bittinger had something to
say about Three Oaks, Mich, a
town which has come into great
prominence during the latter
part of this year, because, in
competing for the prize offered
by the National Monumental AS
soclation, it raised more money
than any other town Of it's size in
the United States-s1132, of
which 3l5 were the contributors
out of 0o5 people-and SO secured
the first cannon captured by
Dewey at his memorable victory,
and have it to show today for
their patriotism. He also touched
upon the model village and it's
people and said that during its
half century Of existence it had
never contained a saloon within
| it's limits, nor in that time could
a lawyer make a living there, as
every one who had hung out his
shingle had had to take it down
and move on, for none of its peo-
pie IN these years were ever found
guilty Of even grave nllsde-
meanor, SO exemplary and moral
were it's inhabitants in all the
walks Of life, and the probity OF
it's merchants had been such that
but one in all these cycles of time
had failed to pay 100 cents on the
dollar. Then, too, for a place SO
small, more men and women
went out into the world and
made a place and a name for
themselves than any community
that up to this date has secured
the reputation and publicity that
Three Oaks, Mich. has.
He said it was an Arcadlan
town, in which the happy condi-
tlons Of life prevail, where neither
poverty distressed nor wealth OBJ
trudes nor wantonly tlaunts It's
glare, glitter and selfishness into
the face of the poor and needy
From these shining lines Of hu,

P1urals of Nouns Ending In .o.-

In the formation of the plural of
nouns with this ending the general
rule is that es is added to the singular,
as in potatoes, oargoes, buffaloes, yet
the following words add only S: Grotto.
junto, canto, cento, quarto, portico,
octave, duodecimo, tyro, solo (all, by
the bye, foreign words), and also all
nouns ending in 10, as folio, folios; or,
in fact, whenever o is Immediately pre-
coded by vowel, as cameo, embryo.
etc. A notable popularity is to be OBJ
served with regard to nouns substantive
ending with the sound of O. If they be
words of more than one syllable, they
for the most part end simply in o. but
if only of one syllable, they take an o
after the o, thus, canto, potato, quarto,
hero, but doe, foe, roe, sloe, toe, woe,
etc. Yet other monosyllables, not nouns
substantive, have no final e, as SO, 10,
no.-Literature of Typography.

The Screw of Archimedes.

Archimedes of Syracuse, when he was
in Egypt, invented machine for pump
ing bilge water out of the holds of ships.
This instrument was also used in the
della for purposes of irrigation. Diodo-
rus Siculus twice refers TO it IL, "a, 2;
v, 81, 81. a curious model of such an
instrument, probably of the late Ptole-
maic period, has been found in lower
Egypt. 1t consists of terra Gotta cyl
inder with "a screw inside it 10 inches
long and 4 y inches in diameter. Near
the center of the outside is band with
crosspieces. These may represent foot
holds and suggest that the machine
was worked after the manner of the
treadmill. Such screws were probably
made of wood. No other example of
this screw seems to have come to light.

Do Not Read In the Cars.

A London publisher whose eyesight
has become so impaired that he finds
himself able to do scarcely any reading
warns readers against working their
eyes when travelling in the cars. He
says:
For many years past have been in
the habit of reading and writing for
some hours in the train almost daily,
and my present trouble is undoubtedly
traceable to this cause.
Oculists are now unanimous in the
statement. that after a certain time,
which varies in different individuals,
reading in the cars is a positive danger
to eyesight. The page is in constant vi
bration, and the eyes are strained i'll
trying to follow automatically the rapid
movements. Too much light is almost
as bad as too little. Reading by pow
erful electric light invariably brings on
eye troubles. People would make their
eyes remain serviceable much longer if
the instant the printed letter becomes
blurry or the reading matter gets out
of focus they would seek the best pro-
fessional skill and prepare to use glasses.

One day when Queen Victoria was
present in her carriage at a military re-
view the princess royal, then rather q
willful girl of IS or IA, sitting on the
front seat, seemed disposed to be rather
familiar aud coquettish with some
young officers of the escort. Her majesty
gave several reproving looks without
avail At length, in flirting her hand
kerchief over the sides of the carriage,
the princess dropped it. too evidently
not accidentally. Instantly two or three
young officers sprang from their sad
dies to return It, but the voice of the
queen staid them.
''Stop, gentlemen, leave it just where
it lies she said. Now, my daughter,
get down from the carriage and pick up
your handkerchief. There was no help
for it. The royal footman let down the
steps for the little lady, who proceeded
to lift from the dust the pretty piece of
cambria and lace. She blushed good
deal as she turned her head saucily,
but was doubtless angry enough.

Manners Outside the Navy.

The ordinary seaman's respect for
rank and station when not connected
with his beloved vessel is decidedly
meager. When the president of the
United States visits one of our n-of-
war, he is received at the gangway by
the admiral, commanding officer and all
of the officers of the ship, in full uni
form, the crew at quarters for inspec-
ton, the marine guard drawn up with
the band on the quarterback, the ma
tional flag is displayed at the main, the
drummer gives four ruffies, the band
plays the national air and salute of
81 guns is fired. The same ceremony
also takes place on his leaving.
On one occasion the president visited
one of the ships informally, dispensing
with the salute and ceremony, when
one of the men rather Indignantly ask
ed another who that lubber was on the
quarterback that didn't "douse his
peak to the commodore.
"Choke your huff, will you," was
the reply, that's the president Of the
United States"
'Well, amt he got manners enough
to salute the quarterback, if he is?"
Manners! What does he know about
manners? l don't suppose he was ever

AFGHANISTAN VENDETTAS.
How Deadly Blood Feuds Are waged In
the khyber Pass.

How Deadly Blood Feuds Are Waged In
the Khyber Pass.
During the time / have been in In
dia, writes a soldier correspondent, the
most interesting period was when I was
stationed on duty for three months some
years back in Landikotal, on the At
ghanistan side of the far famed Khyber
pass. Here / was able to forcibly real
ize the meaning of vendetta, as the
characteristic blood feuds of the Afridis
are quaint and interesting.
The pass itself is a neutral zone be-
tween India and Afghanistan, but we ex-
ercise our dominion over the road that
winds its way for 2 miles through the
narrow valley. Here, as elsewhere in
Afghanistan, blood feuds are a recog-
niZed institution among the tribes and
last through generations, the dishonor
resting with that family who last suf-
fered from some defeat or treacherous
murder.
When an encounter occurs between
two tribes occupying settlements ON op-
posite sides of the road mentioned, one
or other must cross it before commence
ing firing, as firing across the road is
prohibited, but on either side they can
cASIC4SO IhS1I leSlluSS tOWdEu
each other without hindrance.
But still quainter is it when tho
feuds are between close neighbors. Each
family, with near relations, occupies
number of mud huts, inclosed in a
square surrounded by thick, high wall
of mud, stone and wood. At one corner
of these squares is built watch tower
80 feet high: where the family marks
man takes his position and playfully
picks off any unfortunate who shows
himself in the next square. Constitu-
tionals are therefore confined ON both
sides and limited to nightly prowls.-

Lord Crou er.

To read Egyptian-French accounts Of
Lord Cromer, You would picture him a
stiff browed, hard mouthed, cynical,
taciturn martinez. To look at the real
man, You would say that he gave half
of his time to sleep and the other half
to laughing. Lolling in his carriage
through the streets of Cairo, or light
ing fresh cigarette in his office, dress
ed in loose fitting gray tweed and a
striped shirt, with ruddy face, short
white hair and short white mustache,
with gold trimmed eyeglasses half hid
ing eyes half closed, mellow of voice
and fluent of speech-is this the per-
fidious Barring, you ask yourself, whom
Frenchmen detest and strive to initiate?
this the terrible Lord Cromer whom
khedives obey and tremble?
His demeanor is genial and courteous.
His talk is easy, open, shrewd, humor-
Gus. His subordinates admire, respect,
even love him. He is the mildest man
nered man that ever sacked prime min
lister. Only somehow you still felt the
steel stiffening the velvet. He is genial,
but he would be bold man who would
take liberty with him; he talks, only
not for publication; he is loved. yet he
must always be obeyed. Velvet as long
as he can, steel as soon as he must

The Early Umbrella.

We may infer from the following an
nouncement, copied from The Female
Taller of Dec. -, 1909, that the UNI
brella at this period was regarded as
too effeminate for the use of a man:
1.-The young gentleman borrowing the
umbrella belonging TO Wills coffee
house, Cornhill, of the mistress, is here
by advertised, that to be dry from head
to foot on the like occasion he shall be
welcome to the maids pattens. About
this time it was customary to keep an
umbrella in the halls of larger houses
for use in rainy weather, for shelter in
proceeding from the house to covered
conveyance, and doubtless the one al
luded to in the advertisement above
quoted was for that purpose.

At our tryst by the ruined mill,
And the only sound that greets my ear
Is the note of the whippoorwill.

But the only sound that comes to me
Is the whippoorwill's sweet call

A note that is far more dear.

For some time previous to the day

unknown variety were seen in the bay
of Payta. They all appeared to be
