SMALLPOX In Olden Days.

The first accurate description of the
nature and ravages CT smallpox is that
Of Rhases. an Arabian physician. who
iourished in the tenth century and
was the author of books on medicine
and alchemy.
This terrible scourge was also de-
scribed in most Of the ancient Chinese
and Indian books. In China it was
known as the bean disease" and
traced back to the times Of the EN-
peror Kwang WI. who reigned A. D.
1928.
The earliest Chinese treatise on
smallpox was published in 1923. and
from this it appears that incubation
has been known and practiced in the
far east since the Sung dynasty, A. d.
960-1127. Chinese experts hold that
the poison is communicated by the
parents to their offspring, so that all
possess it's germ in their constitution.
waiting only for circumstances favor

No sooner said than done. but the
knight. overbalancing. fell into the riv-

As he threw the flowers ashore to his

And ever since the flower has been

The supremacy of the ST. Paul
Pioneer Press among the news
papers of the northwest has be-
come an unquestioned fact. Bya
glorious career of honest, public
spirited right-doing and strong
saying, it has gathered under it's
standard the best people In al
most every community in these
great states, and the loyalty OF
it's readers cannot be weakened
by all the alluring circulation

none of the premium PROPOSE
ton of coaxing competitors seem
capable of winning any of them
away. And no wonder. There
are many reasons why the
Pioneer Press has the largest
paid circulation of any morning
newspaper published IN the
northwest. 1t has all the viz
tues of age and none of the vices
| of youth. It's editorials emanate
from master minds; it's news
features are comprehensive, &C.
curate and complete; its market
page is the standard authority
throughout this section of the
country, and those who direct
the interests of the paper have
devoted their lives to the study
of the political, domestic and in
industrial pursuits of the people.
It is a home paper,-written for
family reading,-uplifting in it's
tone, enobling in it's energies aud
modest in it's avoidance of the
sensational yellowism to which
modern journalism is prone. 1t
tells what it knows to be true, or
tells nothing,-no lies, no exag-
gerations. The price of this
genuine newspaper, worthy OF
your wife's, your daughters or
your own reading, is neither more
nor less than some of the sheets
which you sometimes are per.
suaded to permit in your home.

A few years ago when the

IT WORRIED HIM.
The Nervous Little Man objected to
the Fat Lady Moving From One
Side of the Train to the Other.

The railway from Edinburg to Ba-
lerno reaches its objective by series
of curves. These curves are SO sud-
den and so sharp that the rail, first
on one side and then the other, is
considerably raised, as is necessary
whenever railway takes sharp
turn. To the inexperienced traveller,
the journey is rather exciting, as the
carriage seems to be about to fall
over first on one side, then on the
other. Often the regular passengers
on the route are greatly amused by
the looks of alarm ON the faces of
those who are making the journey for
the first time. One day, says Lon
don exchange, fat woman with a big
basket sat on one side OF third-class
carriage, and q little thin, nervous
looking man on the other. She kept
in the middle Of the seat till, glanc-
ing at the windows, she noticed some
picturesque bits of scenery. She
shifted to one side to be nearer the
window, and as she did so down went
the carriage on that side, and the
little man held his breath and
clutched his seat. In little time the
view was at its best on the other
side, and she moved across to the
other window. just at that moment.
as it happened, an opposite curve
sent the carriage down on that side.
"For the love of Heaven, sit in the
middle, or well a. be coupit," gasped
the little man.
