"MOTHER" JONES.
Something About woman who
Fights For Labor Like Man.

Flights For Labor Like Man.
Mother" Jones was born in Cork,
Ireland, tlfty-eight years ago. She had
to fee with her father to this country
when he became concerned in some po-
lltical agitation for freeing Ireland.
She was then eight years old, and the
flight made strong impression on her
mind. The family went to Toronto
where she was well educated and ear
ly began to develop the talent for de-
batting which has never deserted her
As a young woman she attended public
meetings for the discussion of all sorts
of subjects. She taught for time and
then married George Jones, n molder
and union man. AS n wife she did
much to encourage his union, and she
got other women Interested She can
claim some credit for the founding of
the women's auxillarles which are now

The Elephant In Ancient Hi.tory

The Elephant In Ancient History.
The word used both In Assyrian and
In Hebrew for the elephant is habba,
which survives to the present day In
the vernaculaf Of the Malabar coast
and of Ceylon as the name of the
Indian elephant. This Is usually re.
garded as conclusively showing that
Solomon must have traded with India.
but the curious fact remains that the
Egyptian name OF the elephant Is alb
or abu, which appears TO be the same
word. In like manner the Hebrew
word for the apes which Solomon's
traders brought from the east, Is koph
which has been compared with the
Tamil name for the monkey. 1t also
occurs In the Sanskrit rs kapi, and was
adopted by the Greeks as kepos or
kebos and by the Latns as cepus, but
here also we are confronted by the
fact that the Egyptian word for ape Is
similar.
Possibly the African elephant was
not known TIL later times In Egypt and
hence received an Asiatic name, as did
the horse and the camel. To the Assy-
fians both the two bumped Bactrian
and the single bumped Arab camel
We're well known, and the former may
have already been used by traders In
Asia Minor. where 1t still is found.

AN OWL STORY.
Showing the Tyrannous Eject OF
Habit Upon "a wild Animal.

Showing the Tyrannous Eject OF
Habit Upon wild Animal.
An English publication tells this in.
teresting story of an owl:
A vague figure appeared out of the
clouds, travelling against the wind to-
ward the splre and looking more like
ragged piece of newspaper whirled
about the heavens than any living
thing. 1t was white owl, and nfter
watching him for some time l came to
the conclusion that he was trying to
get to the vane of the spire. A very
idle ambition 1t seemed. for, although
he succeeded again and again In get
ting to within few yards of the
point aimed at, he was on each ocea-
sion struck by fresh violent gust and
driven back to n great distance often
quite out OF sight In the gloom. But
presently he would reappenr, still
struggling TO reach the vane. A crazy
bird!
But l could not help admiring his
pluck and greatly wondered what his
secret motive in aiming at that windy
perch could be. And at last. after so
many defeats, he succeeded and
grasped the metal crossbar with his
crooked talons. The wind with all its
fury could not tear him from 1t, and
after little Tapping he was able to
pull himself up, and then, bending
down, no deliberately wiped his beak
on the bar and flew awayl
This, then, had been his powerful,
mysterious motlye-just TO wipe his
beak, which he could very well have
wiped on any branch or barn roof or
fence and saved himself that tremen-
dous labor. This was an extreme In
stance of that tyrannous effect of hab-
1t on Wild animal. Doubtless this
bird had been accustomed nfter de.
vourlng his first mouse to fly to tho
vane, where he could rest for few
minutes, taking general view of the
place, and wipe his beals at the same
time. and the habit had become SO
strong that he could not forego his Wis.

Some of our most important organs
for instance, the heart, the brain and
the lungs-are. strange to say, quite
insensible TO touch, thus showing that
not only are nerves necessary for the
sensation, but also the special end or
gans. The curious fact was noticed
with the greatest establishment by
Harvey, who. while treating II patient
for an abscess that caused large
cavity In his side. found that when he
put his fingers into the cavity he could
actually take hold of the heart without
the patient being In the least aware of
what he was doing. This so interested
Harvey that he brought King Charles
/. to the mans bedside that "he might
himself behold and touch so extraor-
binary n thing"

IL removed from the forehead to the

THE COPYRIGHT LAW.
First Measure Passed For the Pre-
lection of Literary Property.

First Measure Passed For the Pro-
lection of Literary Property.
April 10, ITO, Is noteworthy dnto
In the history of literature On that
day came into operation an act "for
the encouragement of learning by vest
ing the copies of printed books in the
authors or purchasers of such copies"
This was the first measure passed for
the protection of literary property.
The word copyright according to
DIR. Murray, was not used before 1867.
In the preamble of the bill. which is
said TO have been drafted by Dean
Swift, the necessity OF measure ITO
enable learned men to write useful
books" Is dwclt upon. By It's pro-
visions two terms of copyright, each
of fourteen years, We're created for all

Judged too high by certain discreet
persons he was liable to penalty
The discreet persons" included, among
others. the archbishop of Canterbury
the lord chancellor and the vice chan
eellors of oxford and Cambridge. On
them devolved the somewhat delicate
task OF fixing the books value. This
clause was repealed In 1880, but the
term of copyright remained unaltered
until 1912, when IL was extended to the
life OF the author and seven years, or
forty-two years from the date of publ.

protect the rights of authors. France
followed suit In 1903, but In Germany
