ly prohibited to introduce into this
country. The mongoose. the flying
fox and the starting are On the list.
The mongoose is a species of ferret.

G. Johnson, of New York, who has just

''The reason for this" continued Mr.

fond OF the new shoots Just at this

sPEAkERsHlP OF THE HOUSE.
Only One Ohio Man Has Held tn.

Only One Ohio Man Has Held the
Office-No New Yorker Since 1872.
Among the earliest duties which will
devolve upon the recently elected
members Of the Fifty-eighth Congress
will be the choice of a speaker, and
present indications make it probable
that the speaker will be chosen from
the west.
The speaker Of the Fifty-seventA
Congress, David B. Henderson, was the
first to be chosen from the territory
west of the Mississippi.
The first speaker was Ere Mullen
burg of Pennsylvania. The post OF
speaker was held in the Twenty-fourth
and Twenty-fifth Congresses by James
K. Polk, afterward president.
Speakers of the House Of Represen-
tatives who have been candidates for
president are numerous and include
Henry Clay, John Bell and James q.
Blaine. Schuyler Cclfax after having
been speaker, was wee president OF
the United States.
The oldest surviving speaker Is
Galusha A. Grow, born din 1923 and
speaker from 1861 to 1868. .
The last Democratic speaker,
Charles T. Crisp, was native Of Eng
land. Two surviving speakers. John
G. Carlisle and Thomas B. Reed,
though elected Representatives in
Kentucky and Maine respectively, are
now residents of the CITY Of New
York.
There has never been a speaker
from the Pacific coast and it is some
what curious circumstance that Ohio,
though pre-eminent in nearly all other
| political Offices, has lad In the ccun-
try's history but one speaker. John w.
Kiefer, who Eerved only single term.
The state Of New York has had no
speaker since the close CT the Nine
ltsenth Congress in 1927, though New
York has been, during the whole Of
hat period. the most populous state
and the one having the largest con-
sressiaral representation.
Tie speaker CT the Fifty-eighth con-
gress when chosen will preside over
larger number Of Members Of Cen
gress than any of his predecessors, the
total membership OF the next house
being $50.

Before the Cambridge Philosophical
Society in England, recently, Professor
Ridgeway produced evidence, historical
and scientific, to prove that the Bar
barry horse, from which all the fine
horses of the world have sprung, was
derived either from the zebra Of North
cast Africa, or, more likely. from some
very closely allied species now extinct.
North Africa, therefore, and not ARA
bia, is the original home Of the thor
oughbred. More than 900 years before
Christ King Solomon imported horses
from Egypt, and Egypt got them from
Lydia. 1T is now clear" says Profes.
scr RidgeWay, "that the Arabs never
owned a good horse until they had be-
come masters of North Africa and the
Barhary horses, from whom are
sprung our own racing stock"

judge to the Seventh judicial district
was sent to the slaughter house in the

ris called attention to the fact that this
district contained LOCO persons and
was growing rapidly. There was great
need, he said, of an additional Judge to
relieve Judge Baxter and Judge Searle
This statement was fatty contradicted
by Senator Wilson and Senator Wood,
who declared that they had authority
from both judges to announce that they
could not only attend to all the work of
their district but could, if necessary,
take in two more counties. A telegram
from Judge Baxter making this an
nouncement had postscript to the ef-
feet that he had no objection to the
''raise," meaning thereby the bill to
increase the salary to $4,000. In the
face of these statements the senate
could not support the bill and it was
voted dOwn.-St. Cloud Journal-Press.

that of the African Sahara, and the
heat is so great that person requires
two gallons of water day. The lack
OF water even for a few hours will
cause death. If you sat still and did
nothing but drink water all day you
would still be thirsty, but golden grain
belt beer will quench the thirst. When
one is very thirsty the stomach needs a
little nourishment to overcome the
feeling. This nourishment is supplied
by the beer and the thirst is quenched.
