It Is suggestive fact not always

any organ or faculty falls into disuse
it degenerates and is finally lost alto

man has had the power of speech this
power has not been fixed in us in any
degree whatever by heredity 1t is re-
garded as definitely proved that if a
child of civilized parents We're brought
up in a desert place and allowed no
communication whatever with man it
would never make any attempt at
speech.
Up to the last century it was not I'M

a aueer Death Superstition.

A curious relic of the superstitious
ideas of the middle ages still exists in
many parts of England = the notion
that when the death of a person is i'm
minent the fastenings of the door Of
the death chamber or of the other
rooms of the house hinder the depar-
ture of the soul from the body, thus
making final dissolution doubly pain
full
A gentleman writing about half a
century ago for collection Of anti
quarian papers states that when he
was curator at Exeter he had call
to the deathbed of one Of his parish
toner's. Upon arriving there the wife
of the patient told the minister that
she had expected her husband to die
during the previous night and on that
account had left the doors all open or
unlocked. Upon asking for reasons for
this odd proceeding he was told of the
neighborhood superstition

The Upright Judge.

A New York magistrate and his
friend We're returning from a banquet
.rm in arm and We're giving way to
mirth and song when they found
themselves confronted by the police.
The magistrate made his escape, but
on the following day as he sat on the
bench, grave, dignified and alert, as
usual" he saw his dear and valued
friend charged with being drunk and
disorGerly. He listened to the charge
unmovea beyond a panied expression
on his face and, after calling upon the
prisoner to explain his conduct, adj
dressed him in his most severely judi
cial manner and in scathins tones.
Never had he heard Il more disgraceful
case, and it was so much the more dis
graceful from the fact that the pris-
oner evidently was respectfully con-
nected and moved in what Was called

leniency would be surely out of place,
and the fine must be the maximum

The Heart of Robert Bruce.

When Robert Bruce, king of Scot
land, lay upon his deathbed in the
year 1929 he remembered that he had
registered VOW to help wrest the
Holy Land from the heather Turks
1t was clear that the time for fulfilling
this VOW had passed, but new thought
presented. Why not have his heart re-
moved and sent to Jerusalem for
burial? To make the story short, this
was decided upon, and Sir James Doug
las was commissioned to carry it in
silver urn ito a place as near as posi-
BILE to where the Saviour was cruel
fed" and there bury it. Arriving in
Spain, Sir James, with the precious
relic strung to his neck by chain,
was killed in battle with the Moors.
Sir Simeon Locard returned with the
heart to Scotland and deposited it I'M
der the altar of Melrose abbey, where
it now is.

Extraordinary Legal Document.

One of the most remarkable legal pa

Our Debt to Asia

1t is noteworthy that out of Asia
came our alphabet and our Arabic nu-
merals. The compass we owe to the
Chinese, who knew the magnetic nee
die as early as the second century A.
d. Gunpowder originally came out of
Asia, and so did the art of printing and
the manufacture of paper The Chi
nese invented movable types in the mid
die of the eleventh century, $50 years
before Gutenberg. They also made
silks long before Europe and porcelain
that has never been equaled by Eu-
rope. Truly, Asia is the cradle Of the
race. On the original ideas Of the Per-
slams, Arabians, the Hindoos and the
Chinese our modern society has been
built.-Portland Oregonian.

Old Italian In Corsica.

The Italian who travels in Corsica
is delighted to hear almost everywhere
around him the obsolete expressions
and examinations of Dante, while even
the Englishman unacquainted with
the Comedy" is surprised at the
sound of Latin words which he thought
had fallen entirely into oblivion, such
as "Nimo" for ''Nessuno" and "Greve'
for "Pesante," or with Latinized forms
of current words, such as 'Piuva" for
"Pioggia," "Ista" for "Questa" and
"Ejo" for 90"
The Corsican, however, is an older
italian than that even of the medi-
aeval poet 1t is less specialized on
the whole than his, having points Of
contact with the other dialects, par
ticularly those of Calabria and Sicily,
and with the literary languages Of
Spain and Portugal.

Indigestion Causes
CaGarrh Of the

Catarrh Of the Stomach caused indigestion

opposite. Indigestion causes catarrh. Re-

mucous membranes lining the stomach and

Ing the glands to secrete mucin instead Of

Attention
Farmers.

Why remain in the North
and stay in doors six months
in the year consuming what
you raise during the other
six months?
Go south where you can
work out doors every month
In the year, and where you
are producing something the
year round. If you are a
stock raiser you know your
stock are now ''eating their
heads off" and, besides, have
to be protected from the RI
gors of winter by expensive
shelter.
Economical stock feeding
requires the combination Of
both flesh forming and fat
forming foods in certain pro.
portions. Alabama and
Florida produce in abundance
the velvet bean and cassava,
the first a flesh producer, and
they are the cheapest and
best fatening materials
known to the world.
More money can be made
and with less labor, in gener-
al farming, fruit and berry
growing and truck garden
ing along our road in the
South than in any other
section of the Union.

The Wing of n Bird.

The typical vertebrate limb, various
ly modified in the arm of man or the
fore limb of cat or frog or bird, has
one bone in the upper arm, which gives
support to two in the forearm, which
similarly yield to four at the wrist,
and from these five digits can just
comfortably be extended. The bird,
however, decided to fly rather than
grasp with its hand, so that three and
a half fingers are all it has retained Of
the five which its reptilian ancestors
bequeathed to it.
