Quinine.

Quinine was first introduced into Eu-
rope by the wife of Spaniard who
was viceroy of Peru. Then Jesuits
carried it to Rome and throughout
Spain and Italy, proclaiming it an in
fallible remedy for all ills and selling
it to the rich at unheard of prices. An
Englishman at last got hold of some of
the quinine powder, cured Charles II.
of a tertian fever and on the strength
OF it was appointed court physician
and granted knighthood. Later he
similarly cured the dauphin of France
and induced Louis XIV. to purchase
his secret" Still the medical faculty
fought against quinine. Not even the
patent efficacy of the thing could over
come the fact that it was introduced
by one not of themselves For many
years the contest waged. Men faithful
to the faculty died for want of quinine
Others, not caring snap for the asso-
ciated pedants, took their quinine and
lived to see their children's children
congratulate the medical schools of
their day on climbing down and adj
hitting that quinine was good thing

Versus intellectually.

AS a man grows older he perceives
that, the moral qualities are worth n
good deal more in friendship than the
intellectual qualities and that no bril-
liancy of mind, no charm of conversa-
ton, can make up for lack of loyalty,
charity and generosity in social inter
course. Young men of brains are dis
posed to value mainly mental power
in other people. and it is a human
quality to forgive much in men and
women of genius. This is a false ap-
probation of the respective values of
mentality and the moral qualities. The
time comes when man learns that
unselfishness and affection are better
in wife or friend than intellectual pow
er accompanied by intense self love.
Fortunate the man who does not come
to this knowledge too late.-San Fran
cisco Bulletin.

The Robber Crab,

III Central America there lives the
rcbber crab, Of almost incredible size
ard somewhat resembling a huge spi-
der. The distance between it's extend
ed claws is sometimes as great as
twelve feet. 1t spends the greater part
of its life on land and climbs the cocoa
nut trees, on the fruit of which it lives
almost entirely. 1t digs in the ground
deep tunnels and lines them with CO.
coanut fiber.
When engaged the robber crab can
break mans limb with its powerful
claws. Animals approaching it too
closely often receive an ugly pinch
which they do not soon forget, and it
is on record that one of these crabs has
captured and tried to drag off goat.
To open a cocoanut the robber crab
removes the bark from the end con-
tanning the three eyes, one only of
which is easily penetrated, and, having
found this, it revolves the nut against
the point of one of its spindle legs I'M
til the opening is large enough for it
to insert its great claw. With this it
breaks the shell, grinds the contents
into small pieces and carries them to
its mouth.

Property Found on Criminals.

The question as to what final dis
position is made of money and iewelry
found in the possession of criminals
was frequently asked me when | was
on the force two years ago." said AN
ex-captain of the New York police
force. AS rule, everything found
upon an arrested criminal which obvi-
ously is not his lawful property is held
IN trust, as it were, by the police for
possible claimants. If no claimants
turn up the property is returned to the
criminal on being released from his
term of imprisonment, provided the
commissioner of police is perfectly sat
isfied that the property actually does
belong to him.
IL the commissioner has reasons to
think otherwise, however, the articles,
often valuable, are held indefinitely or
until it is certain that they will never
be claimed by their rightful owners,
when the stuff is finally disposed of
and the proceeds handed over to bene-
fit one or another of the various police
funds.
There are certain things, however,
which the police never return to those
on whom they have been found, such
as burglariZing tools, firearms, gam
bling devices, begging letters-any-
thing, in fact. that might be used by
criminals again in their nefarious oc-
cupatiOnS."

A Danger Signal.

A pair of frightened horses were
dashing madly down the street. The
coachman was saving at the reins,

side to side in dangerous fashion.
The occupants of the vehicle, an elder

simoniousness. and her pretty niece,
gave no outward signs of fear, but
just as the horses came to a stand
still the younger woman unexpectedly

Tremendous Rainfall.

The annual rainfall ON the Khasia

of which fall in seven months during
the southwest monsoon. 1t is undoubt-
edly the wettest spot on the globe. AS
many as 100 inches have been register
ed in five consecutive days, or an aver

Covering Books.

To cover paper bound books take two
pieces of cardboard tiny bit larger
than book. Paste fly leaves at front
and back to cardboard, which of course
is outside. Then take strip of strong
cotton cloth; paste it down back of
book; have it wide, SO it will cover
about one inch Of each piece Of card
board, thereby Joining the two pieces
together. Now put cover of brown
paper over all, pasting securely, and
your decorated cover goes over this.
The books may be covered with deco
rated silk, pique or duck if you paint
or embroider, but the simplest way is
to cover with tissue paper mot crape).

Judges, Wigs.

The wig is only worn by English
barristers to give them stern, judi

that it fails in this respect. The Gus
tom was originated by French judge
in the seventeenth century, when, hap
pening to don marquis wig one day,
he found it gave him such stern and
dignified appearance that he decided
to get one for himself and wear it at
all times in court. This he did, and
the result was so satisfactory from
legal point of view that not only
judges, but barristers also, took up the
custom throughout Europe.

Missed a Train That Was a Day Late


When the .;witz City division of the
Illinois Central was built it was known
as the Indiana and Illinois Southern.
1t was narrow gauge road, the road
bed was bad, the engines and cars
were built on a miniature scale, and
while there was a schedule, had train
been on time the fact would have been
regarded as a miracle. The road was
known as the "Tly- Weakly"
On one occasion Josiah Mcconnell
desired to IS to Swift City from Sulli-
van, but missed the train by minute
or two. The clock at the station. show
ed that the train had left Sullivan five
minutes ahead Of time, and Mcconnell
sued the railroad company for $4,000
damages. On a trial of the case it
was proved beyond doubt that the
train Mcconnell missed should have
gone the day before and was really
twenty-three hours and fifty-five min
utes late.-Indianapolis News.

Foam is natural product, being
caused by the escape of air or gas from
a viscid liquid. In the case of soda
water it is the escape Of the carbonic
acid gas from the sweetened beverage
that causes the attractive sparkling
appearance, but the sweetened water
alone would give rise to but small

PREACH A CRUSADE.

Over in Michigan they came near 1ynching fellow
who offered to weed field Of beets for less than others
demanded do the work His life was spared but he
did not escape without severe beating This is right
in touch with the spirit of the times for the failure
of the crowd to kill the offender This they will prob
ably do next time.
A perfect wave of 1aw1essness is sweeping over the
country The first impulse of when anything hap
pens that they do not like to get after the offender
and lynch him. That word which spoken only
with horror and bated breath, has almost conquered
right to place our ordinary vocabulary Men being

point where the offense cuts figure. Outrages are
being perpetrated daily part of the country or an

of the killing.
These epidemcs of moral disorder not unknown

time of Coxeys army when local authorities everywhere

from which suffering is the most dangerous
of them ALL The idea that can, under any
tion take the law into their hands without suffering
the penalties assigned to awbreakers must be dehroned
1t is not Our peace at home and repute abroad
merely that stake but the very existence of free
and orderly government. 81
49, This is no sudden storm that breaks upon in the
rise of mob violence in all parts of the country The
cloud has been lowering upon horizon for these
many years. and terrible have been heard from
it. But its fury growing, and it may easily become
cyconic 1t time for every good citizen to preach
and of obedience to the law and
for it. All other issues, all our projected
forms, sink into nohingness in comparison with this;
for this is primary fundamental necessary to the very
existence of organized society. After mob has been
permitted to have its way unchecked for three
days, it be quelled only by the nnching exercise
of all the power that resides within the After the
spirit that creates the mob shall have been wnked
condoned for few years more not only cities and
ties and states but the national government itself will be
involved in this horrible coil; and will be struggle
to restrain the forces of disorder and maintain the
semblance of law defed and dethroned.
For the moment here lies the first and essential duty
of citizenship From every pulpit from every newspaper
from every who has any influence, great small
any community, there should rise stern and continuing
demand for the supremacy of the law and the swftest
and most relentless prosecution of those who lift but
finger against it.
