Trivial Cau.es Of wars.

History records one war that was
caused by Il glass of water-the war OF
the Spanish succession. 4 lady. Mrs.
Masham. a celebrated court beauty.
was carrying Il glass of water when she
was INSTRUCTED by the Marquis de To
rey. A slight scuf1e ensued, and the
water was spilled. The marquis lost
his temper. and bad feeling ensued be-
tween the English and French courts,
with the ultimate result that var was
declared. The campaign cost France
many severe battles viz, Blenheim,
1904: Families. 1907; Audenardi. 170S,
and Malplaquit. 1909.
Fully rs absurd in its origin was lhp
war that took place during the com
monwcalth of Modena. A soldier stole
a bucket from n public well belonging
to the state of Bologna. Although the
value of the article did not exceed a
few pennies, the incident vas the signal
for Il fierce and prolonged Henry,
the king of Sardinia. assisted the Mo

of the subsequent battles he was made
q prisoner. The bucket is still exhibit

Uncle Isrul Trask was one Of those

s%hopkeeper in Il small way. but his
business had not proved in the long run
so profitable as his several matrimO-
NAL ventures. which had been three
times celebrated. Soon after the last
event of the kind had been solemniZed.
one of his intimates rallied him with:
"Well, Uncle Isrul, heard's how you'd
ben an done it ag'in. How'd you
make out this time? Poorly well. as

Smallpox In oldeu D.x.

The first accurate description of the
nature and ravages of smallpox is that
Of Rhases, an Arabian physician. who
fourished in the tenth century and
was the author of books on medicine

This terrible scourge was also de
Scribed in nos of the ancient Chinese

known as the bean disease and
traced back to the times of the En-
peror kwang WI. who reigned \. b.

The earliest Chinese treatise on
smallpox was published in 1923. and
from this it appears that inoculation
has been known and practiced in the
far east since the Sung dynasty. A. II.

QuEEREsT OF LAWSUITS.
4 HiGhwaynlnn sued ftts Partner
For kiis Share Of SpOils.

For Ills share III SpOlls.
Perhaps the most remarkable suit
ever brought is Oh TIE records Of the
our of the exchcqIer In England. 1t
was filed on Get. 3, 1928. and 1t sets
forth very clearly that John Everit and
Joseph Williams were highway rob-
bers.
In It's succinct legal phrases the com
plaint says that the mel formed a
partnership for the purpose Of carry
ing on business rs highwaymeh Ii
was mighty profitable. as was shown
by the fact that Everit sued Williams
for the equivalent of $1,000, being for
moneys wrongfully appropriated 10 de-
fendant's private purse"
This was the amount in dispute after
the partnership had lasted only Il year
Then Everit claimed that he discov'
cred that his partner had not made a
fair division OF the spoils.
The action was adjudged to be a
gross contempt of court, and the plain
tiff was ordered to pay all costs, while
the solicitors who served the writ were
fined. One of the solicitors. a mai
named Wreathcock, refused to pay the
fine and was sent 10 prison for six
months. Both plaintiff and defendant
to the action were subsequently hang
ed. one at Tyburn and the other al
Maidstone.

The Marlne Elax.

The revenue marine service flag, au-
thorlzed by act of congress March ..
1893. was originally prescribed to "con.
slst OF sixteen perpendicuMr stripes,
alternate red and white. the union of
the ensign bearing the arms of the
United States in dark blue on a white
Held" The sixteen stripes represented
he number of states which had been
admitted to the Union at that time,
and 10 change has been made since.
Prior to 1871 it bore an eagle in the
union of the pennant. which was then
substituted by thirteen blue stars in a
white field, but the eagle and the stars
are still retained in the flag.
