ORIGIN OF PARISHES.
They Were Founded I'm 66S by the
 Archbfshop of Canterbury.

They Were Founded I'm 66S by the
 Archbfshop of Canterbury.
 Theodore, archbishop of Canterbury in 66s, is regarded as the founder of the parochia1 system. Parishes were originally measured by and made to follow the lines of existing townships, parish being, in short, the township in it's ecclesiastical character. Where a township was too small to require or to support separate church and priest two or more townships were united to form one parish.
 Tn other cases the clergy of manor1al churches built by the nobles had no Jurisdiction over parish extending to the limits of their lords estate. Thus no legislative act was needed, and par ishes were mapped out gradually, as the multiplication of churches and cler gy, which Theodore did so much to ef feet, made 1t desirable to define clearly the areas within which the clergy had to work. It was not till long after Theodore's death Green says about the middle of the eighth century that this division of the country into par ishes was completed. London Tele- graDh

His victory seems to have been in q great measure due to the partiaIity of the American voters for self made man.
 During the campaign it was charged that Mir. Johnson was an ungrateful son and that his mother had been a washerwoman. In the investigation instituted by the press it was shown that MT. Johnson's father, through in- temperance, had left his family and that young Johnson at the age of four teen was the chief support of his moth- CT and several brothers and sisters.
 His mother did take in washing for a time, but not after her son was able to support her.
 MT. Johnson is a newspaper editor, was born in St. Peter, Minn., in 1862 and is of Swedish percentage. He first worked as a grocer's boy, then became a druggist, and eventually, at the age of twenty -four, acquired an interest in the St. Petef Herald, which he has since edited He gradually rose in the esteem of the community and was sent to the state senate, where his record was so honorable that he was selected by his party to make the fight for the governorship.

THE PORTABLE WATCH.
It Was Probably First Used In the
 sixteenth Century.

It Was Probably First Used In the
 sixteenth Century.
 There is uncertainty as to when the portable watch, as we understand it to- day, came into use: It was probably at the close of the sixteenth century. Queen Elizabeth owned large num- Der of watches. Mary, queen of Scots, was the possessor of a skull shaped watch. Tn fact, the deaths head" pattern was at that time much in vogue. Endless were the styles, for there were watches shaped like books, pears, butterflies and tulips. The Nuremberg egg was a special shape and was first made in 1900. Those queer shapes of watches prevented their finding place in the pocket. When was the fob first used in the dress of man? The German of fob is ''fuppe," and it is believed that it came from England through the Puritans, l"whose dislike for display may have induced them to conceal their time keepers from the public gaze" This conjecture is strengthened by the fact that a short fob chain attached to u watch of Oliver Cromwell in the Brit ish museum is in point of date the first appendage of the kind known. The watch is a small oval one in a silver case and was made about 1925 by John Midnau of Fleet street.

THE SONG.


 From out of the silence there comes to mo The sound of a soothing song, A faint and a fading minstrelsy,
 have waited to hear so long. Nor high is the melody hear, Nor pompous the pleasing strain, But sweet as a lute on my waiting ear, With a sweetness akin to pain. Not strain of an opera known to fame, No passioned and pulsing cry: No voice that arises like a flame
 In a triumph clear and high; But Q simple and soothing lullaby
 That causes my heart to rejoice; A melody soft as a summer sigh
 And the sound of my mothers voice. From out of the silence there comes to me 4 song that is full of joy, 4 dear and a darling minstrelsy
 I heard when was a bow The veil of the past at the sound of the song Is suddenly torn apart, And memories come in a shadowy throng To soften my hardened hesrt. It is only a haunting lullaby, The ghost of a song, that's ai1s Yet it rouses the tenderest sigh Aud causes my tears to fall. It comes like song in the midst of a dream, Too tenderly sweet to last,. As light as the Tilt of murmurfng stream An echo from out the past, From out of the silence there comes to me The sound of soothing song, A faint and a fading Infnstrelsy
 have waited to hear so long. Chicago Daily Chronicle.

A Long Story.

Speaking of the confused idea which some customers have of the climatic condition of Seattle, General Edgar R. Champlin, former mayor of Cambridge, Mass, recently related the following incident at the Hotel Washington:
 ~'Take John D. Long for an instance. When, as secretary of the navy, the idea of building government canal from Puget sound to Lake Union was first suggested to MT. Long, he grssped the arms of his chair and leaped half out of it as he fairly thundered:

Nature Notes.

Attention has been called to the early
spring as evidenced by the poisoning of
the red clover. This blossomed in May
this year, which is unprecedently early
and is reminder to the farmers that
they will have to begin haying earlier
than usual.
Another interesting note is the appear
ance in the southern part OF the town of
the whip-poor-wills. They have been
heard every day the past week at Homo
rient farm, and they are birds that are
rarely seen or heard in this town, though
they are common in the towns bordering
on the Connecticut river.
The following flowers have been report
ed at the Museum the past week:
May II. Buttercup, Blue-eyed Grass,
Yellow Rocket, Indian Cucumber-root !;
May %, Forget me-not, Robins Plan
tain; May 20, Wild Sarsaparilla, False
Lily of the Valley, Mountain Ash, False
Solomon's Seal, Red Osier Dogwood;
May 80, Caraway, Radish, Mustard,
Double Buttercup, Sweet Cicely; May 81,
Stemless I.ady's Slipper, Horseradish;
May Fl, Japanese Horse-chestnut.
These birds have been reported at the
Museum: May 20, Olive-sided F1ycatch-
eT; May 80, Cedar Waxwing, Prairie
Horned Lark.

The Sanitation of Ant Cities.

Insects are scrupulously clean IN
their personal toilet and often brush,
comb and wash themselves, service for
which they are admirably provided with
natural implements. This habit is trans
ferred to communal affairs. The streets
within the city bounds and the gates
and external plaza and Country roads"
leading into the foraging fields, as with
agricultural ants, are kept free from
filth and distractions that might gath
err filth. The constant washings ard
combings of baby ants by the nurses
would satisfy the most fastidious ma
ternal taste. One may not say that
sanitation is an exact emmetonian sci
ence, but it certainly is an art thor
oughly practiced In every department
of the formicary and brought to per-
lection as far as natural conditions will
permit Every insect citizen takes part
in this service. All ants unite to keep
their civic precincts clean.-H. G. Nc
