Henpecked For a Day.

In the little hamlet of Nordhastedt,
near Meldorf, singular custom Is OBJ
served annually. According to tradi-
ton, it dates back to the thirteenth
century. During that era the hamlet
was on one occasion attacked by a
band of robbers, and the men of the
village were soon compelled to beat a
retreat.
Thereupon the women boldly at
tackled the robbers and not only van
pushed them, but also took the leader
and several of the band prisoners. AS
a token of their gratitude the men
have ever since allowed the women to
celebrate this great event by holding
a festival at stated intervals. and on
such occasions they exercise no au-
thority themselves, but submit In all
things to the will of the women.
The latter greatly enjoy their tenn
porary supremacy and, as a symbol
thereof. never fail to fasten a large
wooden slipper to every lamp and
chandelier in the hamlet.

PRECIOUS AUTHORS.
Successful Plays That Were Written

Successful Plays That Were Written
by Boys In Their Teens.
Was q successful play ever written
by a boy of fourteen? asks CORE
spondent. Yes. This seeming miracle
has happened at least three times. The
best known example of the precocious
playwright is the celebrated Lope de
la Vega, the most prolific dramatist
known to history. He produced his
first play, a comedy, entitled La Pas
toral de Jacinto." before he had com
pleted his fourteenth year. and this
was considered such q marvellous per
Torrance that he is known to this day
In Spanish literature as the Prodigy
of Nature" Another Spaniard and con-
temporary of La Vega, Pedro Calde-
ron. wrote his first play when he was
thirteen. Mesastasio wrote his tragedy
"Giustino" and had 1t produced when
he was fourteen on the stage at BO-
logna.
OF English playwrights Douglas Jer-
rold. the famous author of BLACK
Eyed Susan" also furnishes an answer
completed his fifteenth year, he wrote
a very well known farce entitled
more Frightened Than Hurt" 1t was
very successful on the English stage,
and the French considered it good
enough to steal. Curiously enough.
this French translation was retrans-
lated into English and again produced
on the English boards under the title
of Fighting by Proxy" Another very
remarkable instance of different sort
of precocity was that of William Hen
ry Ireland, who when he was about
fifteen actually produced some plays
which he attributed to Shakespeare
and which. although afterward proved
to be forgeries, were accepted by the
experts Of the time as genuine.-Pear-

The profit of gold mine depends, not
on the amount of rock crushed under the
stamps but upon the amount of gold which
can be extracted from the rock. In a
similar way the value of the food which
is eaten does not depend on the quantity
which is taken into the stomach but upon
the amount of nourishment extracted from
it by the organs of nutrition and digestion.
When these organs are diseased they fail
to extract the nourishment in sufficient
quantities to supply the needs of the
several organs of the body, and these
organs cannot work without nourishment.
The result is heart trouble. F" and many

The WOOdchuck.

Perhaps no wild animal Is more ia
miliar to country people than the wood
chuck. Every hillside and meadow is
dotted with the small piles of earth
which mark the doorway to his home.
The woodchuck prefers a hillside or a
knoll In which to dig his hole, for here
he can easily make the end of his den

ing the danger of being drowned out.
What could be more unlike in general
appearance than Woodchuck and a

BILE for them TO lead an arboreal life,

The nature of the food of the wood
chuck is such that he cannot lay up
stores as the chipmunks do. nor is 1t of
such a kind that it can be obtained
during the winter. The case of this

therefore, one of ''sleep long and

Early Names of Animals.

Among the many names for cattle
none is commoner than those which
come from the roots mu and blu, ito
below" Hence we have the Akkadian
am, BULL" the Turkic en-ek, cow"
the Egyptian am, cattle" and the
Mongol buku, 'bull," but a more dis
tinctive word is tor, which seems to
mean probably horned and which
appears not only as taurus, but as the
Semitic thor and the Mongol shor.
The bull, whether tanned or wild, was
no doubt well known to early man.
The names for goats are also sugges-
tive of connection and include the Ar
yam ais, the Semitic az and probably
the Akkadian uz.
For sheep perhaps the oldest word is
the Egyptian ba, but there is word
for lamb which seems to be widely
distributed, as the Semitic kar, the
Greek kar and the Finnic kari, proba-
bly, from the root kar, to Enclose" or
guard" as meaning herded flock.
From the same root come words for
pasture, no doubt allied.-Scottish Re

Like Father, Unlike Son.

The Lancet, the well known English
medical weekly, has been inquiring in
to the question of the transmission of
genius from father to son and has
found that the sons of great poets are
generally dull dogs. Poetic fervor is
evidently spiritual flame that burns
itself out in the generation wherein it
is kindled. Indeed it often seems to
burn out the very aptitude for pater-
nifty, or is it that the poet is generally
too poor to permit himself the delight
of fatherhood? However 1t may be,
many eminent English poets can never
be accused of having dull dogs" Of

A DETERMI
LOVER
BY HARRISON NJ. GRANT
Copyright, 1901, by A. S. Richardson

There wasn't a doubt in the mind Of
Thomas Dingwell, bachelor and farm
er, that he would ultimately marry
Lizzie Carter, schoolteacher and
daughter of Uncle Ben and Aunt Mary
Carter, his nearest neighbors. Al
though he had been counting her for
three long years and had never actual
~ asked for her hand, there wasn't
doubt in the mind of Lizzie Carter
that she would some day be his wife.
1t was what folks call Il slow court
ship, and, though Lizzie's mother
sometimes remarked that she would
never have wasted three years of her
time on any man, there was no real
complaint until about the end of the
third year. Then one evening as I'm
Gle Ben was milking the cows Aunt
Mary wandered down to the barnyard
and sat down beside him OH an up
turned bushel measure and said:
benjamin, something's got to be
doner"
Good Lord, Mary, but you don't say
sou he gasped as he let up on the
milking.
"Yes, sir; something's got to be
DONE" she continued, with grin on
her face. THAT Tom Dingwell has
been hanging round here long enough,
and our Lizzie has fooled away time
enough. and now they've either got to
get married or break up"
''Why, ma. how you talkl What's

tits come over me that don't want
no more nonsense. 1t didn't take us
but a year to get married, and why it
should take Tom and Lizzie three
times as long l can't make out. I've

with it."
"Shoo! Shoor'
"Never mind those flies. It's plan
to bring Tom to time or scare him
away and let better man come along.

tired of waiting and moved off he
