A Strange Fire.

On the night of March u. 1876. about
three hours after sunset, a monster
bright light arose out of the Adriatic
sea and passed from east-northeast tc
the west of southwest, crossing over
Italy In vertical line about half way
between Riminl and Leghorn Various
estimates as to the height and size of
the body were made one scientist.
with amusing eXactness, declared that
1t was 80 miles high at Calmers. At
all places near lis course kissing
noise like that of n skyrocket was
plainly heard At Leghorn the sound
is said to have been like that of n
large cannon, quickly dying away IN
til 1t sounded much like n cart running
over cobblestones" Estimates of its
size seem TO have been as Wild as those
respecting its height. Some accounts
say that it was as large as house.
lie Cat says that iii was a good half
mile In circumference" Bohn who
has written q very readable account
of THE great meteor or strange fire
of March 81, 1876" estimates that it
was about one-half mile by the small
er diameter" which would surely make
1t a terrifying object to behold

Cash of the Ancients.

The little brass cash, the Chinese
coins. are the lineal descendants. In
unbroken order. of the bronze ak Of
remote Celestial ancestors. From the
regular Ratchet to the modern coin one
can trace a distinct, If somewhat bro
ken, succession, SO that 1t Is impossible
to say where the one leaves off and the
other begins. Here is how this curious
pedigree first worked itself out: In
early times, before coin was invented,
barter was usually conducted between
producer and consumer with metal i'm
plements, as 1t still Is In central Africa
at the present day.
At first the Chinese In that I'M
sophisticated age were content to use
real hatchets for this commercial pur-
pose, but after a time. with the pro-
found mercantile instinct of their race,
II occurred to some of them that when
a man wanted half a hatchet's worth
of goods be might as well pay for them
with half Ratchet Still, as it would
be a pity to spoil a good working i'm
plement by cutting 1t In two. the
worthy All Sin lngenlously compromis-
ed the matter by making thin hatchets
of tho usual size and shape. but far too
slender for practical usage. BY so do
Ing he invented coin. and, what is
more, he invented it far earlier than
the claimants to that proud distlnc-
ton, the Lydians. whose electrum
stateFs were first struck in the seventh
century b. C.-Cornhill Magazine.

ABOUT Vlh0L.

When blood Is wa,ery and thin, or,

ically wrong.
We would advise everyone who haA
such symptoms 70 start at once 70
take a proper remedy % overcome this
trout be.
That remedy IS Vinol, the greatest
and most modern tonic and rebuilder.
Flnol owes its virtue 70 the fact that
1t contains in a highly concentrated
state the active curative principles ex-
tracted from Gods lvers, the same ele-
men1s that have made codliver oil
famous for wasting diseases
These medicinal elements are dis
solved in a delicious table wine so that
Vinol is most palatable.
None of the viie-smelling obnoxious
grease that characterizes cod-liver oil
and frequently makes II an impossible
remedy for those who should take it.
La found in Vinol
We could relate many instances
where Vinol has done good and re-
stored the roses 81 health TO he pale
cheeks of the sufferer.
The following IS fair sample Of tbs
way people write in regard TO Vinol:
For several months I suffered lassi-
tude and tired all the time. Also q
sinking feeling in my stomach, which
nothing would relieve, and was pale
and weak. As an experiment l tried
Vinol and Il | wrote pages | could not
tell all II has done for me '-MRs. A.
K La PRUscH, Amesbury, Mass.
Because We know Vinol so well,
and because we know 50 surely
what it will do, and how it will
accomplish the good II does in a
scientific way, We unreSeryedly en-
dOrSe and recommend it, and in
every instance guarantee to refund
to any one what they pay US for
Vinol if they do not find it entirely
satisfactory.

Naming che white House.

Why is the presidents mansion at
Washington called the White House
1t has been so called for years and
years, and now no one thinks of using
any other name, although executive
mansion" is the official term. The
name White House is reminder of
the second war with England. Aug.
"a. 1914. the British army captured
Washington and burned the public
buildings, the presidents mansion be-
ing among those to suffer. 1t was
damaged to some extent, and to hide
the fire stains 1t was painted white,
and white it has been painted every
year or two since.
The home of Washington's mother
was called the white house." and this
may have suggested the name, but the
fact that the mansion was SO assidu-
ously painted white after the war Of
1912 doubtless brought the term into
popular use.

formal offer that the two bodies should
enter into an offensive and defensive
alliance. The liquor dealers offered 10

only union bartenders and walters and
10 sell only union made beer and spir.

But when the offer came before tie

speech, In which he recalled the iuau.
ence of Frances L. Willard on tho side
of organized labor and in her name ap.
pealed 10 the delegates 10 vote down
