Historical Divisions Of Time.

For convenience time is, by his
torians, usually divided into three
great ~eras-ancient, medieval Tor mid
dle) and modern. The ancient period
is considered to extend from the earli-
est times down to the fall of the Ro-
mar empire in the west in A. D. 476;
the MEDIEVAL from that late to the
discovery of America by Columbus in
1892 and the modern from hat time to
the present. Some historians prefer to
put the end of the medieval period at
the capture of ConStantinople by the
Turks. about 40 years earlier than the
Columbus event. The dark ages are
often held to be coeval with the me-
diRval era. but some authorities think
that the term should be applied only
to the part of the era extending from
the downfall Of the empire of Charlie
uiagne: in the ninth century. onward.

He Hacked or His Leg.

Caught in a bear trap on the banks
of the Athabasca. near Milford. Me-,
John Mcleod, a lumber scaler, was
obliged to take u his jackknife and
cut off his leg. The trap was too heavy
to move and was sprung in such a way
that he could not reach over and re-
lease it. He was far from any human
being, and the only way out of it SEEM
ed to be to cut off the leg.
That was done easily, because the leg
upon which he operated was OF wood.
But when he stumped back to camp it
made him mad to hear the jeers of the
French-Canadian cook Of the lumber
crew.
"Why you no take off you whole
wood laig, ali? You get out um thrap
and no Spite you wood laig tall, ali"
Such a way out Of his difficulty had
not occurred to Mcleod before.

Origin of the Word sterling.

The origin Of the word Sterling is
very curious. Among the early mint
els OF coin in northern Europe were the
jewellers of eastern Germany. They
We're so skillful in their calling that
numbers of them were invited to Eng
Of the Kingdom. The strangers We're
known as "easterlings." After a time
the word became sterling" and in
this abbreviated form it has come to
imply what is genuine in money, plate
or character.

why Monarchs Were Insane

Pathologists have often pointed out
the fact that physical and mental IN
ervation are apt to go hand in hand.
and the intellectual degeneracy of Ell
qnette monarchs may have a good deal
to do with the Sybaritism of their pal
ace life.
The plebeian functions which medic
val sovereigns We're obliged to perform
by proxy included the adjustment Of
their gala gloves. They had hunkies
to remove their cravats and warm their
nightshirts. unplait their pigtails and
tuck up their bedclothes around their
shoulders. In the morning courtiers
competed for the honor Of holding
their washbasin- Peers of the realm
waited on Bonded knees to buckle their
shoes. If the inheritor of a legitimate
throne lifted a spoon to break an egg,
lynx eyed lackeys anticipated his needs
with the agility Of trained c%onjurers.
Like his food, his information on cur
rent topics was served ready dressed
and cooked, till he turned into a masti-
eating machine and repeater of con
yentional neutrality-suspicious..

He Who Brnss About How Many
Times He Has "Crossed."
The ocean s%corcher, the woman or
man who was forever Dragging about
how many times he had Crossed is,
hank heaven, on the decrease. Fash
ion has at last set the seal of her dis
approval on him, and he is rapidly be-
coming obsolete. The fashion is now
neve to mention the number of times
one has been to Europe. The last time
l was over" is the way to refer to an
over the water experience if you wish
to be in the vogue. OF course you may,
If you truthfully can, say .the time be-
fore last l was over" or 1.-THE tenth time

through Europe" but a great majority,
you will find, say 1.-THE last time l was
over" 1t is safer-when one has been

Pin many of these travellers so fond
of relating their European experiences
down to the figures, and you will find
that 1.-The last time I was over bears q
close relation to the little boy who said
AS was ueAI " luc ledu VI HIS CluSS,
to have it transpire later that the class
consisted of himself and a little girl.
1.-The last time l was over may, like
as not, have been the first. Still any
thing is better than the ocean scorcher
and his Dragging. To him it didn't
matter where he hadn't been or what
he hadn't seen or anything. but simply
how many times he had crossed.
The n time on record that any one
was known to get ahead of these
scorchers was when q lot of them We're
sitting swapping lies on a certain
steamship deck and a nonscorcher, hav-
ing learned that the star scorchers rec

Mrs. John LoveIace Dead.

which the remains were ship.
ped to Winterset her old home. Rev.
Matheney preached from Samuel 1922
the same text his father used at the
funeral service of Mr.. Lovelace's
mother twenty years ago.
Sarah Ellen Lucas wa born at
Winterset, Ia, November II, 1860,
and was married in February 1889 to
John Lovelace in the home in which
she was raised aud had grown from
childhood into womanhood.
Two children were born to them.
One little boy, who is now about
eight years old, and a little girl, who
preceded its mother to the spirit
land beyond.
The deceased has long been a suffer-
er, yet surrounded by all the COM
forts a loving husband could give her.
She was a woman, so noble and pure
in her mind, that the crucible of pain
she bore only refined her worth and
wound so close about the heart of her
husband, that the swapping of the
ties tries all his manhood. She wrap
ped in tender love her son, who will
miss the tender ministration none but
a mother a give.
Her friends too will miss the heart
that knew and read them. Woman's
heart is big and reaches far and their
true nobility is felt only by those
who get next to their lives.
She passed into the life beyond
with hope and peace and love. The
dark river with its boat of golden oars
watts her from husband and son and
friends to the unseen golden palace of
peace and love and life, where with
patience born of hope, she will wait
for those left behind.

LULLABY.

We've wandered all about the upland faIlow1,
We've watched the rabbits at their play,
But now good night. goodby to soaring swallows,
Now good night, goodby, dear day.
Poppy heads are closing fast, pigeons circle home
at last;
Sleep, tiebchen, sleep, the bats are calling;
Pansies never miss the light, but sweet babes
must sleep at ;aght;
Sleep, liebchen, sleep, the dew is falling,
Even wind among thu quiet willows
Rests, and the sea il silent too.
See soft white linen. cool, such cool white pillows
Wait in the darkling room for you.
All the little chicks are still; now tho moon peeps
down the hill;
Sleep. liebchen, sleep, the owls are hooting.
Ships have hung their lantholns out; little mice
dare creep about;
Sleep, liebchen, sleep, the stars are shooting.

skin In Throwing or NAH Bags

The busiest clerk in any crew or car
Is the one who Is detailed to receive
and throw off the sacks and pouches.
To lift Il heavy mail sack and throw it
a minute is a matter of good target
shooting. Looks easy enough" COM
mented one of the veteran clerks at the
letter case. "and it does seem as If a
man should be able to hit a station
platform without much difficulty. but
you see that station is passed and gone
In about one second. Then. the suction
of a train running at this speed is some
thing terrific, and until the knack Of
throwing a pouch is learned a man is
liable to feed the wheels with a few
lctters."-Saturday Evening Post.

Did You Ever Drown = p1y,


Whatever other fate might befail It,
naturalists agree that the common
house fly cannot be drowned and many
experiments have been made in rela-
ton thereto.
Included in such tests was the I'm
mersion of n fly in a tumbler of clear
cold water, with a piece of cardboard
to fit the glass and tioated So as to
keep the insect beneath the surface.
So little did the fly trouble about
such an obstacle that it kept near the
bottom of the glass, and there for a
quarter OF an hour ran about as freely
as In the fresh air, while it at times
crawled across the underside of the
pasteboard as on the ceiling Of a ROOM.
After being immersed for 20 minutes
the fy's movements were less active,
and at % minutes it turned over on its
side, apparently dead. 1t hung sus-
pended in the water just under the
~pasteboard, which kept it from rising
to the surface, and there it remained
for another % minutes.
1t was then taken out and placed on
a sheet OF paper. looking to all appear
ance dead. Its next fate was to be
buried by being covered with about
half q teaspoonful Of fine salt.
at the end of Is minutes the saline
was shaken off. the fly having thus
been completely covered either by
water or by salt for 65 minutes.
Immediately upon its release the in
sect trimmed Its wings and legs active
y for awhile and then flew away
