A Royal Filtration

Perhaps the most striking exam
pie of the phrase 'She stoops to
conquer" in English history is fur
nished by Queen Elizabeth's cele-
brated Irritation with the Duke of
Anjou. It was most important for
the queen, threatened as she was by
the hostility of Spain, then the
leading power in Europe, to secure
and maintain the friendship of
France. The reigning king, Henry
Ill, was willing to form an alliance
with England if Elizabeth would
marry Anjou, his younger brother.
The queen promised to do this,
though she had not the slightest in
tention of keeping her word. She
invited the duke to England, carried
on with him prolonged courtship,
presented him to the court as her
affianced husband and even on one
occasion condescended to kiss him
in public. She thus kept France in
good temper until the danger from
Spain had for the time passed away,
when she Tilted him with excusable
shamelessness.

A Gibraltar Leaend.

One of the stock of ancient leg
ends relating to the rock of Gibral-
tar relates how young Scotch sub
altern was on guard duty with a
brother officer when the latter in
visiting the sentries fell over prec-
ipice and was killed. When the sur
vivor was relieved from duty he
made the customary written report
in the usual form, Nothing extraor-
dinary." And this brought the bri-
gade major down upon him in a
rage. "What! When your brother
officer on duty with you has fallen
down a precipice 400 feet high and
been killed you report nothing ex-
traordinary?" "Weel, sir" replied
the Scot calmly, 81 dinna think
there's onything extraornery in it,
ava. If he had fa'en doom four hun
der feet and not been killed-weel,
I should haze cad that extraornery."

Ancient Vegetables.

During the building Of the great
pyramid of Cheops, says Herodotus,
1000 talents of silver were spent in
radishes, onions and garlic for the
workmen.
Other patriarchal vegetables which
we know from old inscriptions were
grown in Egypt and other parts OF
the east quite forty centuries ago
are the melon, the cucumber and the
leek.
Many of our common vegetables
we owe to the Dutch, who four cen
turies ago, at time when English
people hardly understood the word
garden, were famous horticulturists.
It seems difficult to believe that so
late as the reign of King James |.
peas were worth their weight in sill
yer. A writer of the time speaks of
them as eft dainties for ladies
they come SO far and cost so dear"

His BLOOMING Mistake.

A countryman Of Goethe recently
gave an instance of the difficulty a
foreigner has with the English Ian
guage. He was invited to dinner
soon after his arrival in England
and was DESTROYS of saying some
thing in very pleasant way and
made use of the following express
sion: "Will you have the blooming
kindness to- etc. He used it in
the sense that the word s'blooming"
is used in German, as being some
thing very charming and beautiful,
little knowing what havoc slang has
played with the word in England.
He was absolutely at loss to un-
derstand why everybody was so ut
terly Mortified at what he thought
was an extremely nice expression.-

THE READING DESK.
4 Was Used In Churches ~ Early %
the Seventh Century.

H Was Used In Churcnee ~ Early ~
the Seventh Century.
Lecturns, or reading desks, came
into use at an early date. There is
frequent mention Of then in ancient
writings and representations of
them in ancient vignettes. They
were placed in the center of choirs
in large ecclesiastical buildings as
early as the seventh century, and
the choristers were arranged in rows
on the right and left of them. They
are of various forms, but the eagle
is introduced in very large num-
Der. With outspread wings and
mounted on a stem at q convenient
height for a reader, this grand bird
from an early date was made to
serve the purpose of supporting the
framework on which the large and
heavy volumes used in the services
we're placed. There was probably
some reference in the thoughts of
those who first used them to the
fact that the eagle scared to the
most elevated regions and therefore
in fanciful way would be likely to
carry the words Of the readers or
choristers nearer to heaven than
they might otherwise ascend.
In some instances the inclined
framework on the back of the bird
was made to accommodate two
books, one above the other, and fur
nished with movable brackets to
light the reader. frequently the
eagle is represented standing on an
orb and sometimes on a dragon, and
the base of the stem on which it is
placed is often raised on lions. A
more simple form without the intro
duction Of the eagle consists of an
inclined book board raised to con-
venient height on stem. Next to
this are examples that have two
slanting book boards, which meet
at their upper edges like a roof, and
there are others with clever group
ings of four desks or book boards.
These are generally made of oak or
some other hard wood. They near
ly all turn on pivots, and some of
them are enriched with much carv-
ing. Sometimes the eagle is of
wood and the framework of iron.
In the handsomest examples base,
stem, bird and book board are of
polished BRASS Chambers Journal.

Plerce's Favorite Prescription is the most

1t has to its credit hundreds of thousands
OF cures more in fact than any other
remedy put up for sale through druggists,
especially for woman's use. The in9redi-
ents OF which the 1Favorite Prescription"
Is composed have received the most
positive endorsement from the leading
medical writer's on N0teria Medtca of all
the several schools of practice. All the
ingredients are printed In plain English
on the wrapper enclosing the bottle, SO
that any woman making use of this
famous medicine may know exactly what
she IS taking. DE-. Pierce takes his pa

can afford to do as the formula after

FRANCISCO MIRANDA.
Held In Reverence In Venezuela 40
Pioneer Of Liberty.

reid In Reverence In Venezuela a. Q
Pioneer Of Liberty.
Francisco Miranda was a type of
the reckless fighter and adventurer
always dear to the hero worshiper,
and he was SO closely identified
with the inception of Venezuela
revolution against Spain that he will
always be held as national hero.
He was born in Caracas in 1855
and entered the Spanish military
service when he was seventeen. He
served in the United States in 1870
and later in Cuba. He was forced
to leave Cuba for some illegal trans
action and for several years led an
adventurous life in Russia, Turkey,
England and Germany. He went
into the French service at the out
break of the revolution and by bril-
liant service reached the rank of
major general. His name is on the
Arc de Triomphe in Paris as one of
the great captains of the revolution.
His reckless and adventurous spirit
apparently kept him in constant
conflict with sober law, for in 1872
he was condemned by the directory,
but escaped to England. Receiving
no aid in England, he came to the
United States.
Here he put into motion his
scheme of freeing his native country
from the Spanish rule. He found
means to equip two small vessels,
and with 200 volunteers he sailed
for Venezuela. He landed early in
1906 and was attacked by superior
Spanish force, losing many of his
men. The Spanish captain burned
Miranda in effigy and offered $780,
900 for his capture. He recouped
his forces and a few months later
took a Spanish town, but did not
succeed in arousing the people to
revolution.
1t was some time later that he
met Bolivar and with him went to
Europe to secure aid for their en-
terprise.
When they returned in December,
1910, Miranda organized the first
republican government, which was
made possible by the uprising of the
people in April, 1910. He was vice
president of congress and signed the
constitution and the act of indie
pendence. He was commander OF
the army and won several victories
over the Spanish, but his disregard
for all properties finally got him
into trouble. His fellow officers
among the revolutionists turned
against him. He was accused of be-
ing a traitor to the cause, and in
1912 he was taken prisoner by his
own party.
He was allowed to fall into the
hands of the Spanish authorities,
who sent him to Cadiz in 1913 as a
political prisoner. Three years later,
on July IA, 1916, he died.

A Saved Situation.

The rising artist was painting in
his studio when a visitor entered
leading dog. The animal at once
commenced barking furiously at the
picture on the easel.
ssOh," said the caller, S'you follow
nature closely. The best evidence
of the faithfulness with which you
have painted that dog in the back
ground is the earnest way my dog
banks at him"
sBut that isn't a dog" was the
reply. Thats cow.
IT was a terrible situation, but the
visitor did not lose his head. Said
he languidly:

Americas "cood" Women.

There are many varieties of good
women in the world, some passive
and others active, some subjective
and others aggressive. The good
American woman is the most active
and aggressive of her sex. She ex-
ercises the strictest discipline over
her own family. She has the most
decided convictions on social ques-
lions. In nine cases out of ten she
is an antidrinker, antismoker and
antigambler. - Blackwood's Maya

ening of the turgid style OF dry set

During these twelve months Of
THE SUMS life this journal has ex-
perienced It's share Of the pleasures
and trials that beset LIES journey.
It has raised up for itself many pow
erful friends and 1t has accumulated
quite a fair sprinkling Of powerful en-
emies. It had not gotten started good
when 1t ran up against the most pow
erful combination in the State. Be-
cause It printed the truth about the
doings of a few men, living In Jack

dominate the naval stores situation 1t

Of their displeasure. All the power
that money gives to men, and that
the control of business places at their
disposal, was welded against THE
SUN. II any detail OF that story
printed in THE SUN had been incor-
rect, II every fact set forth about that
situation had not been sufficiently
corroborated by the subsequent hap
penings In naval stores circles, this
journal would not have weathered the
storm raised against IL by those pow
erful men. Though fortified by the
truth, which, It has been said, Is pow
erfuul enough to sustain its adher-
ents, the gum bunch" boycott came
near bringing about the total eclipse

For the reason that this Is a very
important period of THE SUMS life,
and for the additional reason that
anything that is Importance to THE
SUN is also important to Florida,
THE SUN being a part Of Florida
without which Florida would not be
nearly so well off, 1t seems fitting
that a little SUN space, which be-
longs to Floridians, should be dev0t-
ed, just about now, to THE SUN. IN.
During the past two weeks invita-
tions to the number of several th0us-
and have been sent by THE SUN to
SUN readers. These invitations, po-
litely wolded, were to the effect that
THE SUN would welcome renewals
of subscriptions accompanied by the
cash. In the invitation the aim OF
THE SUN was set forth and little
bit OF SUN history given. 1t was not
practicable to send one Of these invi-
tations to every reader of THE SUN
and for the benefit Of those who did
not receive them, as well as for the
further information Of those who did,
the story of THE SUN Is now retold.
THE SUM grew out of an idea pos
sessed by its present editor that the
people OF this State would like to
have journal devoted to the print
Ing of things as they are without col
oring the portrayal to suit the inter-
ests, the whims, the notions or the
commands of any one; that the peo-
pie OF this State were entitled to have
painstaking efforts put forth to
amuse, instruct and entertain them
by a journal which sought their pa
tronage; that those good people who
make their homes In Florida deserve
the best procurable when 1t came to
a matter Of journalistic enterprise;
That there were soma things which
needed to be told which, coming un-
der the head of disagreeable things,
no one seemed to be willing to tell;

limitations of human frailty and
proneness TO error would permit, In
presenting matters OF interest to the
people, was also q thing which Flori-
aians should have; that q little light
