GLASGOW HOARY WITH AGE.
Scottish Metropolis Was Founded
1900 Years AGO.


We hear u great deal in these
days in praise of Glasgow as a truly
model city and of its manipulating
in the interest of the citizens of
nearly every public franchise. That
is oil true, and Glasgow highly mer-
it's all praise bestowed upon it. At
present, however, we would briefly
remind our readers of Glasgow in
the oldcn time, hundreds of years
before it obtained its present state
Of perfection. and of which we now
rarely hear Il word.
1t is about 500 years since Glas-
gov was founded by Kcntigcrn or
st. Mungo. but the city did not
amount to much until after the act
Of union between Scotland and Eng
land, about 200 years ago. 1t was
that act which enabled the mcr-
chant advcnturcrs of Glasgow to
send out their ships to Virginia and
Maryland for cargocs of tobacco
leaf. Thus tobacco manufacture
was the first Important foreign
trade and home industry established
by Glasgow enterprise.
Very soon the city became the
center of the tobacco traffic. For q
long time thereafter the tobacco
lords" of Glasgow in their scarlet
robes and on their own privileged
beat were almost as strongly marked
figures in history as were the NOR
chants of Venice. When the Ameri-
can colonies reyolted and tho Unit
ed States republic was established
Glasgow lost its flourishing tobacco
trade, but some of the tobacco
lords" who held heavy stocks, madc
enormous fortunes by the rise in
prices. These fortunes formed the
foundation of larger enterprises
elsewhere and the begetting Of the
numerous merchant princes" that
soon characterized Glasgow.
When driven from Virginia the
adventures established trade with
the West Indies, where sugar sue
oeeded tobacco as staple Of trade.
Then Game cotton and next coal,
which was soon followed by iron.
Meantime there had been O continu-
ous development Of trade with In
6a, with China, with South Amer
lea, with the United States and utti-
masely with Australia and New
Zealand. TIL then the Clyde had
been little better than stagnant
ditch but Glasgow by degrees
formed deep, broad, navigahle wa
terway, and then came commerce
and shipbuilding.-Scottis

FAMILIAR CUSTOMS.
Things We % That Had a Different
Significance Originally.

Il is mcs: surprising what NUM-
Der of little things we do without
knowing the reason. Why. for in
stance, do widows wear caps? Per-
haps you may say because they
make them look pretty and interest
ing. But the real reason is that
when the Romans were in England
they shaved their heads as o sign Of
mourning. Of course woman
couldn't let herself be seen with a
bald head, so she made herself a
pretty cap. And now, though the
necessity of wearing it has passed
away, the cap remains, says a Lon
don magazine.
+ What is the meaning Of tho cross
cs or KS on barrel of beer? They
signify degrees Of quality nova
days. But originally they were put
on by the ancient monks Us q sort of
trademark. They were crosses in
those days and meant sort of cath
on the cross sworn by the manufac-
turcr that his barrel contained good
liquor.
Why arc bells tolled for the dead?
This has become 80 familiar a prac-
tice that funeral without it would
appear un-Christian. Yet the rea-
son is quite barbarous. Bells were
tolled long ago when people were
being buried in order to frighten
away the evil .spirits who lived in
the air.
Why do fair ladies break bottle
of wine on the ship they are chris
tening? Merely another survival of
barbaric custom. In the days of soc
rifce to the gods it was customary
to get some poor victim when boat
was being launched and to cut bis
throat over the PROV so that his
blood baptized it.
Why are dignitaries deafened by
q salute when they visit foreign
port? It seems q curious sort of
welcome, this firing off of guns, but
it appears the custom arose in q
very reasonable way. Originally a
town OF war ship fred of its
guns on the approach Of important
and friendly strangers to show that
it had such faith in the visitors'
peaceful intentions that it didn't
think necessary to keep its guns
loaded.

Probably no man ever loved O
horse more than did the late Viii
liam B. Smith Of Hartford, Conn,
owner Of the stallion Thomas JEFF
ferson, one of the best proportioned
pieces of horsefesh Of his time. De-
probation in real estate values
caused the horseman's affairs to be-
come unsettled, and he failed. While
driving with a clergyman, the Rev.
Joseph Waite, in the troublous
times he expressed his sorrow at
having to- part with a number of
promising horses.
GLOW many head have you?''
asked the clergyman.
'Fifteen," replied Mr.. Smith.
Later the Rev. Mr.. Waite met Mr..
Smith and asked him if he had sold
any of his circuit racing horses.
ooh, yes; I got rid Of most of
them and have bought a colt or two
since"
sHow many horses have you
now2" inquired the clergyman.

THE TANGEN TREE.
q Growth OF Madagascar Regarded by
the Natives With Horror.

One of the most deadly trees in
the wcrld IS &c be found III Hada-
gascar, where il is known as the
tangen tree. It's scientific name is.
Tanguinia venenifera, the latter
word signifying poisonous.
BY the natives it is regarded with
q sort of horror and for excellent
reasons. For centuries it was the
custom to use the fruit of the tan
gen for the purpose of ascertaining
whether criminals charged with
grave ohenses were guilty or not.
In each case the prisoner was
brought into court, and the Judge
thereupon solemnly handed him a
fruit from tangen tree and told
him that if he ate it and it did him
no harm he would be considered in
nocent, but that if it killed him he
would be considered guilty. AS
there is great deal Of poison in the
fruit, it can readily be seen that
very few, if indeed any, were able to
pass through this ordeal .unscathed.
It is said that some criminals
who had great political influence or
considerable wealth managed to es-
cape through the connivance of the
judges; but, on the other hand, the
criminal records tell of many cases
in which prisoners died horrible
death very, soon after they had eat
en- the noxious fruit.
More civilized methods OF adjudi-
cation now prevail in Madagascar !;
but, though this barbarous custom
is obsolete, the tangen tree is re-
garded with almost as much aver
sion as it ever was. A proof of this
may be found in the fact that q
French naturalist recently tried to
obtain some branches and fruit Of
the trees; but, though he asked sew
eral natives to aid him in the search,
he was unable to obtain the slight
est assistance from any of them

have always striven above every

They have thus developed gem

them masters in the art Of depicting

The directness and strength of hne
which give SO much charm and dash
even to sketch by Jap artist are
due to the habit of writing and

the SEXUAL DIFFERENCE.
Dc 10 the Most Fundamental! Fass In
the Social Order.

DC 10 the Most Fundamentals! Fass In
the Social Order.
The first and most patent fact in
the family is the difference ". The
sexes. Out of this difference the
family is created; in this difference
the family finds its sweet and sacred
bond. This difference is not merely
physical and incidental; it is also
psychical and essential. It inheres
in the temperament. 1t is inbred
in the very fiber of the soul. It diff
ferentiates the functions. It deter
mines the relation between man and
woman. 1t fixes their mutual serv-
ice and their mutual obligations.
Man is not woman III Il different
case. Woman is not. man inhabit-
ing temporarily q different kind of
body. Man is not a rough and tum-
BILE woman. Woman is not feeble
and pliable man. This essential dif-
ference in the sexes is the first and
fundamental fact in the family. It
is therefore the first and funda-
mental fact in society, which is but
large family.
These twain are not Identical.
They do not duplicate each other.
Man is not an inferior woman. Wo-
man is not an inferior man. They
are different in nature, in tempera-
ment, in function. We cannot de-
stroy this difference if we would.
We would not if we could. In pre-
serving it lies the JOY Of the family,
the peace, prosperity and we'll being
OF society. If man attempts wom-
ans function he will prove himself
but sa inferior woman. II woman
attempts mans function she will
prove herself but an inferior man.
This distinction between the sexes
inherent, temperamental, fnnc-
tional-is universal and perpetual.
It underlies the family, which could
not exist If this difference did not
exist. It is to be taken account of
in all social problems problems of
industrial organization, religious or
.ganization, political organization.
Should society ever forget it, it would
forget the most fundamental feet in
the social order, the fact on which
is built the whole superstrucsuEe of
:scciety.-Rev. Lyman Abbott in At
lantic.

Double Punishment.

A native traveller in Japan
bought two snapping Turtles, and,
being afraid that he would be
charged heavily for their transpor-
tation as live animals on the train,
he placed them in q small portable
trunk which he carried. The Japan
Weekly Mail tells Of an adventure
that befell the man and his turtles.
When he got on the train he held
the trunk so carefully under his
arm that q thief who was in the
crowd was sure the man had some
thing valuable in the box. So he
got into the same car and took an
adjoining seat. Taking the first OPP
porcunity, he cut a small hole in
the trunk with a sharp knife and
slipped III his hand.
About this time the turtles con-
cluded that there was something
doing" and they took hold of his
fingers in a hearty way. Gritting his
teeth, the thief tried to withdraw
his hand, but he could not. Then
he howled, and the owner of the
trunk seized him. and turned him
over to the train people, who at the
next station gave him to a police
man. -
The incident, however, was not
closed until the traFeler was pun
ished for violation of the railway
regulations. '.5t
