land, with the big ruff, in the time Of
Queen Elizabeth. 1t was like our
starch of today except that it was
made in colors-red, yellow, green,

delicately the white linen to which the
starch might be applied.
Before Queen Elizabeth's time ruff
fies and ruffs were made Of fine hol-
land, which required no stiffening.
Then the ruffs Of cambric came. and
these must of necessity be starched."
The grocer, consulting his memoran-
dunn book, resumed:
1T is recorded that when the queen
had ruffs made of lawn and cambric
for her own princely wearing there was

After having been solicitor genera
CAPTAIN Evan P. Howell our presen'
distinguished mayor, retained con-
siderable amount of private practice
in Clayton superior court. AT one term
of the court he had weak case rol
a very dull witted but persistent client
When it was sounded on the docket
for trial the lawyer for the defense hao
filed a demurrer that was discussed
and sustained, thereby throwing the
plaintiffs case overheard.
The plaintiff had listened intensely
to a legal duel, the purport of which
was to him as a display Of cuneiform
inscriptions, but had a consciousness
that something awful had happened
when the fracas between the lawyers
came to an abrupt end.
He went out like Mary's little lamb
and fingered around until Captain
Howell emerged from the courthouse
door. His client seized him by the
arm and dragged him off to quiet
spot in the shadow of John L. Doyars
law office.
Evan, whut's happened?" he trem'
ulously questioned.
why, John, that unfeeling judge IN

rer"
well, Evan, I know that, and we're
flung out all right. but whan'n thun-
der is a demurrer? Tell me that now!
"Oh, John, you go home to your
blowing and don't worry. The good
Lord never intended fellow like you
to understand the lengths and breadths
the heights and depths, Of demurrer!
Why, a demurrer is one of the most
dangerous things that the law of a
thousand years has brought down to
us for our aff1iction! Go home and try
to forget it,"
And John went-went in a hurry
so as to get space between him and the

SPAN OF HUMAN LIFE.
Steadily Increasing Because tho Mind
Is Kept Occupied.

StodoIiy increasing ooCaooo tno Niihe
Is Kept Occupied.
Medical men are discussing a lecture
by Prof. Pfuger, Of the university Of
Bonn, on longevity. in which he as
life Is steadily increasing. He MAIN
tains that one-third of all the deaths
registered in Munich are due to heart
disease, brought on by the immoderate
use Of beer. and that tobacco also
claims large percentage Of the VIC
Tins.
Among forty centenarians who have
come under his notice there was only
one smoker. while nearly all professed
to q moderate use Of alcohol.
What Prof. Phuger most seriously
warns people against is the thought
and fear Of death. The mind. must be
occupied, he says. in order to secure
longevity. Hardworking men who re-
tire, rarely live much longer.
The German census statistics show
that in 1871 the centenaries numbered
147 men and 287 women, but In 1900
only five men and thirty women. AS
Is well known, in Munich, the con-
sumption of beer per capita Is greater
than elsewhere I'm the world. and the
percentage Of heart disease is higher.
Beer has worse influence on the
heart than either wine or whisky. To-
bacco is better borne by adults and
the aged than the youth. No youth
should be allowed to smoke before the
age of twenty-one. Wine has been
said to be the mind Of old age; it
should not be used until past the noon
of life.
That the German census shows re-
duction of old men since the war with
France is natural. The age Of indus
trialsm, Of city life, OF strain. Of alco-
hol and of the venereal diseases, with
increase of "tabes dorsalis." and gen.
eral paresis, is the present age Of Ger

An Apimal Story For
Little Folks
The Lazy Lion

There was once upon time young
lion who often went out in the fields
and watched the larger lions play
baseball, and he often thought how
happy he would be If he was only big
enough to take part in their games.
Well, he grew and grew, and after
awhile it seemed to him that lie was OF
baseball size, and he decided to begin
to play. Now, it happened that this
young lions principal fault was that
he was lazy. and when he got to think
ing about how much running around
he would have to do as baseball
player he almost became discouraged.
After some time spent In thinking
this over he determined. however, to
try the game anyway.
"I'll 90 off to the cocoanut tree now
and get ball." said he to himself, and
off he went to where the tall trees rose
from the sandy soil Of the plain.
Away up above his head he saw the
nice round cocoanuts hanging to the
