A women. Ki.. /.

The story of Ingeborg Winding and
Poul vendelbo Lovenorn is well known
in Denmark. Poul Vendelbo, a poor
student, went one day on the ramparts
around Copenhagen and walked with
two rich noblemen Who like himself,
had matricalated at the university.
They happened to notice singularly
beautiful woman sitting at the win
dow Of one of the adjacent houses.
One of the noblemen then said half
mockingly to yendelbo, Now, if you
could get a kiss from that lady, Poul,
we would defray the expenses Of that
tour abroad which you are SO anxious
to make"
Vendelbo took him at his word, went
up to the beautiful lady and told her
how his whole future depended posi-
bly, on her. She then drew him toward
the window and in the view of the no.
blemen gave him the kiss he craved.
He then went abroad and, returning
at last as Adjutant General Loyenorn,
paid the fair lady a visit. She was
Ingeborg Winding, and she had made a
clever mans fortune by kiss.

Origin of Kits.

1t will doubtless surprise many
Scotchmen to learn that the kilt as at
present worn is only modern fancy
costume and is not of Scottish origin
at ALL
The honor of it's invention is due to
two Englishmen-an army tailor who
accompanied General Wade's forces to
Scotland in 1719 and Thomas Rawlin-
son, overseer of some iron works in
Glengarry's country. For more than
a century previously, indeed, the tar
tan plaid had been the common ga-b
Of the highlanders, but it was all in
one piece, wound in folds around the
body, leaving the knees bare.
Prior to the adoption of the tartan,
which probably took place about the
close of the fifteenth century, the long,
loose saffron colored skirt, the real
"garb of old Gaul," was the highland
dress-London Mail.

why American. Drink.

"Pleasureable emotional excitement
Is a great relaxer," says writer in
Ainslee's. Every kind of work is
liable to leave the muscles and nerves
tense and overdrawn. We often see
muscle tonus corrugating the brow,
rigidifying the face or attitudes and
showing that innovation impulses con-
tinue to flow out from the nerve cen
tiers after toll is over. We Americans
lack the very words gemuth and esprit,
and it is very hard for us to entirely
forget the struggle for existence in So
cial intercourse. The careful studies of
Partridge and others show that the de-
sire for this kind of unbending is one
of the chief causes that lead Ameri-
cans to drink, because they have lost
the power to feel the normal exhilara-
ton which inebriation stimulates. In
stinct points to this as a great boon,
and so it is sought over cups and glass
es in the conviyiality that comes from
artificial stimulation. A little more roll
licking jollity, with jest and quip with
congenial friends, the tale, the song,
perhaps the quiet, harmless game that
does not overtaA the system-of all
this we have too little in our stern
American life. with its tendencies to
overtonicity and cramps of will and at
tention.''

Fatigue is one of the greatest enc
mics of the human race" says writer
in Ainslee's. Modern physiology shows
that it is the cause of nearly half and
perhaps more of the several hundred
catalogued diseases that prey upon
man. In our age, with its high pres
sure, its hot and bitter competition and
the unrelenting, struggle for survival,
its moral and physical ravages are
steadily increasing. Cities. in which
an ever larger proportion of our peo-

for some, furnaces, forcing develop

The farmers are all finding that
their estimate Of Irvine was far too

The Arabs of Syria.

Among the Arabs of Syria man
changes his name after the birth Of
his eldest son, assuming the name
which has been bestowed upon the
heir, with the prefix Abu, meaning
father Of" Thus, if the son is called
Fudle Allah, Goods Bounty" the ia
ther will be henceforth known as Abu
Fudle Allah, Father of Gods Bounty"
In like manner the mother would be-
come known as EN- Fudle Allah, Moth
er Of Gods Bounty" This custom is
not merely one Of common speech, but
extends to all occasions and even to
legal documents. Still more strangely,
even when man though married has
no son the courtesy of oriental soci-
ETY. demands that he should be adj
dressed as Aba Salim Or Abu Nah
mould, after an imaginary son whom
politeness confers upon him.

Second.-The chain of some twenty
five great cinder cones which stretcn

the Mexican plateau.
Third.-The Central American group,
with it's thirty-one active craters, eA-
tending diagonally across the western
ends Of the east and west folds OF the
Caribbean corrugations, fringing the
Pacific side of Guatemala, San Saliva
dor and Costa Rica. This is separated
from the Mexican group on the north
by large nonvolcanic area, the 18TH
mus of Tehuantepec, and on the south
from the Andean volcanoes by the 18TH
mus of Panama, where no active vol
canoes are found.
Fourth.-The chain of volcanoes OF

Rats and Mice ana Large Animal.


How many people are there who
know that elephants, rhinoceroses and
other large thick skinned animals have
formidable enemies in rats and mice?
These small, rascally rodelts have
found that the feet of the elephant are
excellent eating and have no hesitation
in gnawing at them when the animal
lies down, when, owing to it's confined
condition, it is not very we'll able to
defend itself against it's puny enemies.
To protect these vast creatures it is
found necessary in most menageries to
keep terriers about the cages. These
little fellows very soon dispose Of the
pachyderm's tiny adversaries. 1t was
recently discovered in a well known
menagerie that the mice and rats had
been very busy with the hide of rhi-
noceros. A Scotch terrier, Fanny, was
put into the cage of the huge beast, and
in the first night she had killed no few
er than twenty-seven rats. In few
days there were no rats left to nibble
the hide Of the poor rhinoceros.

freight; its stores do an estimated bu-
siness of S160,0C0.00 annually. Two
creameries would be on the road be-
sides the four hundred and eight tons
of coal the township would use. They
believe Kimballton would be the log
ical point to stop at if the road goes
through.
