FiscaIitis is Old.

Fiscalitis is a disease that flourish

fourteenth century, only the tax that
was then imposed on foreign goods

them.
When Wat Tyler's people entered
Southwark in 1871 their anger was
SO great against the Flemish weavers
and other workers that they made the
pronunciation of bread and cheese"
a test Of the honest home worker, and
whoever failed to pass it was deemed
Fleming and put to death. A cen
fury later Cade's Kentishmen had for
one of their cries "The foreigners fore
stall the market, and so Englishmen
want and starved"
About 1886 England was called the
Asylum Christi, so many were the for

A Half Solved Mystery.

Detroit has suburban grocer who
is something of a joker, and, having
bought a crock Of butter of Uncle
Reuben few days ago, he slipped a
five pound stone in the empty crock
and exhibited it to the farmer and
said:
Uncle Reub, I've known you for
the last five Years, and I'd have
sworn that you were an honest man.
I'm sorry to see this"
WAL, that half solves the mys-
terry, replied the old man as he pick
ed UP the stone, hefted it and looked
it over in puzzled way.
What mystery?" queried the gro
Ger.
"Three or four days ago a strange
dog came along by our place, and my
son Bill heaved this rock at him. The
dog and the stone disappeared like a
flash, and, though Bill hunted around
for half an hour, he couldn't find
either. l can't say where the dog
got to, but the rock mus5 have come

Yawns. sneezes and Bad Temper.

YaWns, Sneezes and Bad Temper.
Every people has it's own little
ways. The Hindus, for example, when
they yawn believe they must mention
the name of a god, and also snap
their finger and thumb. Moreover,
should a Hindu venture to sneeze,
straightway all witnesses must cry
'Livei pa shout to which the sneezer
correctly replies, with you" One of
the strangest customs among this
ancient folk, however, is the room
of anger" An apartment in the house
is set apart for the use of any men,
Der of the family who happens to be
in an i'll temper. Wnen he feels that
way inclined" he shuts himself up in
this room and there remains until
the evil demon leaves him. He is
thus saved from being a nuisance and
worry to his friends, and, besides,
the head of the household can tell
at a glance whether or not all is
WI indoors by simply looking in to
seo if the-roo has tenant.

Radium From a New Source.

There is a hot spring, called the
Kings Bath, at Bath, England, from
which the rare gas helium comes in
very small quantities. In a deposit
from another spring there, traces of
radium have recently been discover
ed, and scientist who has examined
the deposits expresses the opinion
that radium in considerable quantities
exists deep in the earth beneath the
spring, and that from it the helium
gas emanates. This opinion is based
on Sir William Ramsay's discovery
that helium is formed from Q gaseous
emanation given off by r8djum

Tried to Destroy Steamer

Saturday afternoon Mr.. Harry Orem

work on the wharf of the Baltimore,
Chesapeake and Atlantic Line were
astounded by an explosion and sheet
of flame which shot up from the waters
of the dock usually occupied by the
oyster police steamer. Governor Thomas,
at Cambridge. and by the Choptank
oyster police boat, Eugie Willis, both
coming in off and on, and the former
being expected. The flame arose about
l2 feet high. Mr.. Orem approached the
spot to examine into the matter. but the
waters had subsidized. About two min
utes later second similar explosion
took place. though the fame only arose
few feet above the surface. On both
occasions heavy black smoke accom-
panied the explosion The sole reason
able solution of the affair is that
torpedoes were there sunk by some ruff
fianly oystermen, set to explode at "a
certain hour when one of the police
boats was exp cted to arrive and intend
ed to revenge past or anticipated proba-
BILE arrests. 1t will be remembered that a
few winters ago long disused and
worthless oyster-packing house on the
edge of the same lock was feloniously
set on fire i'll the night and burned
down. while the police steamer was
lying by its side. and scorched the
steamer, which narrowly escaped out
