last of the Stuarts, but all the same we
know that for the most part the last
of them were o pretty bad lot, and
that for all practical purposes the reign
of the Guelphs has been fraught with
the greatest blessings to civil and re-
ligious freedom, and to the commercial
prosperity of the country.
Recently, however, number of
"cranks" have arisen and formed what
they call "the Legitimist Jacobite
league" the members of which make Sc
ditious speeches on certain occasions.
as, for example, on the anniversary of
the death of Charles l., which in almost
any country but free Britain would land
them in prison. They declare that
Queen Victoria has no good title.to the
throne; that there are ut least GOO per-
sons with a better; and they do homage
to an obscure Bavarian princess, whom
they designate ''Queen, Mary III. and
". of Scotland and England" All this
is very amusing to the average subject
of her majesty.
One of the most crazy of the Jacobite
leaSuerS IN Scotland, says the Cnlcaeo
Record, is Theodore Napier. Curiously
enough. he does not happen to be high
lander, and was not even born in Scot
land, hailing from one of the Australia
colonies, but summer and winter he
wears full highland dress of the Mont
rose period. When he marches along
the streets Of Edinburgh with his Jacob
lite nose in the air, everybody turns to
look at him, which he regards as a
great compliment. Though in private
he is the most mild-mannered and gen.
tie of elderly gentlemen, when he is on
the Jacobite war path he makes speeches
of fiery nature. which are intended to
strike terror to the heart of the present
"usurping Hanoverian danasty."

Keep all fruit stones, cooked or un-
cooked. Dry them slowly in the oven.
put in large jar, and in winter throw
handful on the fire of an evening.
They will crack for moment, SIND up
q bright flame and fill the room with
delicious odOr.
When those unsayory creatures, bed
bugs, are brought out in full force by
hot weather, a good way to exterminate
them is the following:
Shut the windows tight, leave all
clothing in it's place, and open trunks
and drawers. Put thick layer of ashes
into IN iron kettle, on which place live
Goals. Have no obstacles between your
self and the open door. Put handful
of sulphur on the GOALS and Immediately
close the room, leaving it undisturbed
for several hours. When opened, the
room and contents can be aired, and
the odor will soon be gone. 1t is rarely
that second fumigation is necessary.
This remedy will also do for moths.
The untidy-looking spots of paint or
putty carelessly splashed on window
panes may be removed by wetting the
glass several times with strong solu-
ton of soda. When the spots become
soft, rub them off, then polish the glass
with alcohol.
Toinsure bright windows, clean them
on rather dull day, or clean each set
of windows when the sun is shining on
another part of the house; otherwise
they will be streaked, and no amount
of rubbing will remove the streaks.
Dust them inside and out with paint
er's brush, and clean all the inside wood
work before touching the panes. Then
wash the glass with warm water con-
tanning little ammonia, no soap; get
the dust out of the corners with apoint-
ed stick wrapped with a small cloth;
wipe dry with soft cloth, not linen;
polish with tissue paper or old news
papers.
Brushing with dry silk handkerchief
is good way to clean oil paintings;
but better way is to wash the surface
gently with distilled water. Then flick
them with the silk cloth. Clean the
frames also with distilled water and q

But living, breathing eiementin the

hailed by fanatical MeNicans, the
Yaquis and what remains of her own
tribe, the Tomachics, az 'The Saint Of
Cabora.''
She has been photographed, too, and
the picture shows her to be just what is
claimed for her, the 21-year-old daugh-
ter of ignorant Tomachic parents.
Were it not for the ..letter from
Heaven" which she claimed the Arch
angel Gabriel brought and delivered
to her Mt spring near her home about
five years ago, it would be hard to ac-
count for the wonderful hold this
strange young woman possesses over
the pugnacious portion of the Yaqui
populace.
Her own tribe, the Tomachics, were
the first to accredit her with sanity at
tributes, and after the Mexican gov
eminent got through with them there
was practically no tribe left. An in
surrection, started by the girl under
alleged Divine promises of success, was
what brought about the extinction of
the Tomachics, and after two battles
had been fought and her tribe had been

helping his father in the harvest field
near McRae. The colt. which was fol-
lowing the horses, ran up to the boy
and gave him a severe kick in the
bowels. He was taken to the house, q
distance of about two miles, and q
physician was called. Upon examina-
ton it was found that an internal or
gan had been torn to shreds and that
nothing could be done for him. His
sufferings were somewhat relieved the
last few hours until death ensued.

wiped out, Santa Teresa de Urea found
herself a prisoner of the Mexican gov
eminent at Guaymas.
However, few days after her incar-
ceration, note arrived by courier from
the chief of all the Yaquis, threatening
an outbreak if the girl was not immedi-
ately released. President Diaz con-
cluded it would be expedient to exile
the Saint of Cabot, and shortly after
she took up her residence in Nogales,
A.. T., whittier a steady stream of Mex
lean and Yaqui pilgrims made their
way to be cured of their ills.
She disappeared one day, and when
next heard of she was the leader of
band of Yaqui Indians, who made a
raid on the town of Fronteras, near the
United States border. Again she was
forced to leave the country, and this
time took up her residence in Ell Paso,
Tex.
She again disappeared, and next came
to public notice as the chief actor in
an army of about 1000 fanatical Next
cans in the state of Chihuahua, Mexico.
They had their camp just across the
Rio Grande from Preside del Norte,
Tex, and the wonderful woman seemed
to have full sway over her followers.
This gathering of fanatics became SO
large that the Mexican authorities be-
came alarmed, the report having
reached chihuahua that they intended
starting revolution against the Mex
lean government. A regiment of SOL
diers was sent out from Chihuahua to
dispense the fanatics. The troops went
to Sierra Mojada by train and then
marched overland to the border, a dis
tanee of 100 miles. The religious fan
aics refused to obey the order to dis
perse and conflict took place in which
six soldiers and 20 fanatics were killed.
Santa Teresa escaped across the river
and kept in hiding in Texas until the
excitement died out. She then returned
to I'll Paso, where she lived until her
recent disappearance.

Of the "Bonny Prince Charles" and
the gallant attempt he made in 1745 to

from Scotland after Culloden, aided by
the, heroic Flora Macdonald, is one of
the beautiful legends of the highlands.
