The Crown.

There is no mention Of crowns before
the eighth century after Christ. The
crown really did not become the head
covering of kings until the times OF the
Christian rulers after the might and
power of pagan Rome were broken.
Before those days the browning was
done with Il helmet This change in the
method of browning the rulers Is typ
zeal of the changes that occurred in
the spirit that animated nations and
races In the selection Of their kings.
The first kings and chiefs, after the
world had emerged from the patrf-
archal forms of government, were Sc
lected almost altogether for their
prominence as leaders In war. Thus,
gradually, the chief Of the army be-
came the chief of the nation. Almost
all the ancient kings were military
despots. Then, with the prevalence or
Christianity and the overthrow of the
old governments, came the new rulers
who claimed to rule by divine right.
They, too were almost all military
despots, especially in the beginning,
but tSe world had progressed far
enough TO demand more proof or au-
thority to rule than mere brute power

the military record of every man who
served in a Michigan regiment and
every man who was a resident of
Michigan when he enlisted and served
in some other state organization dur
ing the civil war.
The publications will be in volumes

volumes will be published for each

the same rules that michigan in the

The Fuel Problem.

That the fuel problem is one of ever
increasing Importance was most forci-
bly, demonstrated the past winter,
when the temporary suspension OF but
one source of supply caused wide
spread apprehension, Inconvenience,
and even distress. The demand for
fuel is constantly increasing with the
increase OF population and the expan-
sion of industrial enterprise, while
the sources of supply are, on the
whole diminishing.
A Chicago inventor, imbued with
the necessity of better and cheaper
methods of heating, has perfected
combination of process and device by
which the cost of all forms of heating
which includes cooking and lighting
as WE'LL may be reduced from 40 to ~
per cent over any of the methods now
in use except where natural gas il
obtainabe
The machine that produces this
long desired result is cheap, simple
safe, dura BILE and absolutely automatic
in its operation. The fuel itself is
gas made from low grade of kero
sene, and meter tests made in Chicago
the past week showed that it produced
the best quality of gas known at less
than IL cents per thousand feet. II
has been estimated that an eight oil
ten room dwelling can be heated by
this method at cost of less than z
cents per day in zero weather, and II
ordinary winter weather at half thai
sum, which amount would also cove
the lighting and cooking expense:
of the average family.

Very few Of the old houses OF the
south. except some Of the Georgian
houses OF Charleston. which belong TO
an earlier period than the white col
umned houses Of the early nineteenth
century, have elaborately decorated In
teriors. The reason II not far to seek.
Except In the seacoast cities Of the
south skilled labor was rare, and ar
chitects were almost unknown. The
great majority Of planters therefore
were compelled either to import their
architectural designs or draw them
themselves. Most Of them preferred to
do the latter las Thomas Jefferson pre-
ferred to draw his own plans for Mon
ticello) and to oversee personally the
construction Of the houses.
With this end In view almost all
men Of means In the south prior to the
civil war were students Of architecture
and ready purchasers Of such architec-
tural plates as were published from
time to time. To this day heavy vol
umes on Greek Observation-Disclosures
works that only students would care
to own-are to be found as features OF
such old family Libraries as are still
preserved throughout the south. = Mrs

Readers of McClure's cannot fail to
have observed the many changes in
the appearance Of the magazine in
the last months. Most important has
been a change in the body type,
which will be generally conceded very
greatly TO have enchanced the beauty
of the page The new type is French
old syle. the matrices for which were
cut in this country from French de-
signs. In contrast with the former
black, condensed page of the DeVin-
ne type, this is open, round, and light,
with a great increase Of beauty and
legibility. a charming series of in
itial letters to go with the type has
also been designed, also new head
bands and tail pieces of patterns to
harmonize. The paper of the mag
azine has also been improved with
the result of far greater brilliancy
than before in the half-tones. Very
striking, too, is the new cover design
which was pr nted in June in beauti
full blue, and will instantly be recog
nized again in the current July issue
in its dress of brilliant gold.

An odd sight to be seen in Spanish
cities is the manner OF moving house

six or seven stories. The streets are
often 80 narrow that horse vehicles are

they are hoisted In large baskets by

When there, they are passed in through

Animala and Pain.

Ascertained facts seem to show us
that by the lower forms Of animal life
very little pain. as we understand the
word, can be felt at all. HOLSTERS, for
instance. will voluntarily deprive them
selves Of their claws IL suddenly alarm
ed by some such sound as that caused
by the firing Of heavy gun above
them. A crab, seized while feeding by
a greater and stronger. will continue
It's meal while being itself devoured.
A fish, torn and mangled by the hook.
will return In a moment or two to the
bait, with its appetite unimpaired.
A blindworm or a sand lizard, IL I'M
expectedly seized, will snap its body In
twain and glide away, none the worse
for the mutilation. to reproduce the
severed substance. 1t Is hard, indeed,
In cases such as these to insist that
pain, In our sense of the term, can be
In any real degree endured.
