The crescent has been known since
time out of memory. In ancient my
thoiogy 1t decorated the foreheads OF
Diana and of Astarte, the Syrian We,
nus. In the days of Rome's greatest
glory the ladies wore 1t as an orna-
ment In their hair. Since the founda-
ton of Constantinople, the ancient BY
zantlum, 1t has been the emblem of the
city and as such adorns its walls and
public buildings, besides being stamp
ed on its coins and postage. The legend
which accounts for its universal adop-
ton In Turkey, and Constantinople in
particular, is as follows:
Philip OF Macedon laid siege to the
city In the year $40 3. G. He chose n
night OF unusual darkness for the pro-
posed assault, but was folled by the
moon suddenly breaking from behind
cloud. In commemoratlon of this
providential deliverance the crescent
was adopted az the symbol of the city.
The Mohammedan sultans were slow
to assume this emblem until some one
mentioned that 1t was the symbol OF
increasing greatness. power changing
as rapidly as the phases Of the moon.

happened to be present at n meeting
between man injured In the big rull-
road wreck on the Lake Shore, at Ash
tabula. and representatives of the road.
The man asked $25. 200. and the rail
road had offered $1,000 The man
told his story, and 1t was terrible
one 1t seems that he was caught in
the wreck and held by one foot, which
was pinloned down. The wreck caught
fire, and the flames erept toward him
Firemen and others around saturated
his clothing with water and placed
wet blankets over him, but he was not
released until his foot was burned off
1t was n grewsome story.
"0ne Of the directors OF the road was
present. He took the claim agent aside
and said Give that man $4,000. II

TRAMPs ON THE CARS.
,fhe Boz Car Ia often Entered by
springtnH the Door on.

The box car is often entered by
springing the door OF its iron way al
the side opposite the seal. A party go
ing one way will do this for n party
going the opposite direction and then
when all are in, spring the door back
again. Since everything externally is
in the best of order, long trips may
be made in this manner without dis
turbance or interruption.
Now and then the prisoner Is eX'

of this kind has been related to me

RYE BREAD AND COFFEE.
This Il the Staple Food of Working
men In Germany.

This Il The Staple Food of Working
men In Germany.
The workingman In Germany mus
have coffee, and plenty Of 1t, and lit
tie meat Butter is practically un
known to him, lard being used In Its
stead. He rarely uses milk, eggs OF
white flour, and he never thinks OF
buying any of the better cuts OF meat.
Canned goods, familiar to every Amer
lean worker. are absolutely unknown
10 him.
His staple food is rye bread, which
he buys In enormous leaYes. His wife
or his little girl goes to market for this
bread and brings 1t home clasped In
her arms unwrapped. ! have seen q
little tot of a towheaded girl stagger-
ing homeward with loaf almost as
big as she was, and as she walked she
gnawed Justify at the flnty end OF the
loaf. Indeed have heard 1t said that
the eating of this hard crusted bread
gives the German workman teeth or
unequaled excellence.
And this bread Is good thoroughly
good. The government, which super
yises everything and everybody, guards
the rye bread of the people with Jeal-
Gus care. The bakers are watched,
compelled to give full weight and make
good bread. 1 have eaten 1t In num-
Der OF different towns, and 1t was al
ways sweet to the taste and whole
some. This bread Is fairly cheap, cost
ing usually from 50 TO 80 pfennigs @
TO II cents loaf, though 1t, too, has
risen In price with increased demand.
Upon this great loaf the German EN-
plre may be said to rest. All Germany
has grown up on It. In one form 1t Is
the basic ration Of the German army,
and many peasant can live very well
for considerable time though he has
nothing else to eat.-Outlook.

THE GRIP EPIDEMIC.

The Disease More Prevalent than Ever and
Quite as Fatal. The Best Treatment.
The grip has surprised the doc
tors and health authoritiesthis season
by its rapid spread and by some novel
symptoms. While it spares nobody
it is proving especially dangerous to
middle-aged and elderly persons. In
many cases either fatal onset Of
pneumonia, or a complete breakdown
of health and strength, is apt to fol-
low an attack of grip.
The wise course for all is proven
ton. By wearing Bensom's Porous
Plaster on the chest and back you
protect the lungs from cold and chill
and with ordinary care) You are
safe from grip.
For those who are already suffer
ing from grip, or from the usual win
ter coughsand colds, Benson's Plaster,
are sure and speedy relief and cure.
Highly medicinal and scientific.
Refuse limitations and substitutes.
Only the genuine are effective. Ex-
anime when you buy. Seabury &

Comes That Why.

A young minister who was naturally
of shy disposition was rather cmbar
raised at his first marriage ceremony
and unwittingly reversed the usual
order Of the service. thus making the
bridegroom promise to love aud obey
his blushlng bride. The error passed
unnoticed at the time, but shortly aft
erward 1t dawned upon the father of
the bride that a mistake had occurred,
and he said to the minister:
Il believe. Mr.. -, you have made
John promise to love and obey my
daughter, All, WELL" he added after
a pause and with sly look at his bet
ter half. 81 suppose 1t won't matter
much. 1t generally comes to that any
way."-Pearson's
