Costly PoIiteness.

At the battle of Fontenoy occur
red well known instance Of polite
ness on the part of the English and
French guards, which, it is almost
needless to say, could only have hap
pened in those ceremonious times.
The two battalions of opposing
guards were about to join in conflict
when the English commander adj
yanced and, saluting the French
commander, exclaimed, Gentlemen
of the French guards, AreP The
French officer, not to be outdone in
politeness, returned the salute and
replied: "After you, gentlemen. The
French guards never fire frstp up
on which the English gentleman,
thinking further ceremony needless,
fired, with such effect as to put near
ly 900 of the French gentlemen hors
dc combat. Somewhat costly polite
ness for them.

MOVABLE TYPES.
The Honor Of Their Invention Belongs
to the Far East.

!
China, the "cradle of the arts
claims the honor of the invention of
printing. Away back in the year
b93, nearly 1000 years before Gut
enberg issued the first volume of
his famous Bible, the Chinese were
using the "block system" of print
ing, and in the tenth century, 400
years before Europe had become ac-
/ quainted with the cart preserva-
tive" the almond eyed Celestial
typos were better versed in the sci
ence of setting movable types than
were the American printers of the
days of Benjamin Franklin. The
"block system" of printing, which
was so well known in the Flowery
Kingdom less than six centuries
after the birth of Christ, did not
find its way to Europe until about
the first of the fifteenth century,
when devotional manuals" each
bearing portrait and a few lines
in printing, became popular. These
cuts and printed lines were taken
from engravings made ON a single
block, the very earliest dated speci-
men Of that character made in Eu-
rope bearing date of 1923.
There is still a question as to
who was the first European printer
to use the movable types. 1t is not
question as to what European in
vented movable types, for it isl
known that the honor belongs IL
the far east The honor of beng
the first to adopt the system appeEs |
to rest between Laurenz CosteJ Of
Harlem died 1440), John Faust
and John Gutenberg. In the above |
list some include the name of Peter
Schoffer, son-in-law of Faust.
Dutch authorities claim that Coster |
was the first to use the movable
types and that Gutenberg, who was
at one time workman in Coster's
shop, stole the idea from him. The
Germans give Gutenberg the honor
and set the date of his first success
full practice of the art at 1896. The
first entire European book ever
printed from movable types bears
the name of Johann Faust on its
title page. 1t bore the name Of
"Tractatus Petri Hispani" and was
printed at Mentz in 1442. AS Gut
enberg did not put his name on all
of his books or the date when they
were issued, there is some doubt
when the first appeared or how
many were issued. Gutenberg's
great work was his Latin Bible,
which appeared in 1856 and which
is often catalogued as the ''first
book ever printed on movable
types"

The coooanut Crab.

The cocoanut crab is one of the
oldest specimens of the whole crab
family. He lives in the south is
lands and makes a diet of cocoanuts.
This species has a pair Of front legs
terminated with a strong pair of
pinchers, and it is with these that
he husks the nuts and breaks
through the weakest portion of the
shell. The crab begins by tearing
the husk, fiber by fiber, and always
at the end where the eyeholes Of
the nut are situated, that being the
weakest place in the shell. When
the husk has been removed the crab
commences hammering the shell
with his heavy claw and soon makes
an opening, through which he ex-
tracts the meat of the nut. OAR
win, writing of this crab, says, ~
think this is as curious case of in
stinct as l ever heard of, especially
in structures so remote from each
other in the scheme of nature as q
cocoanut and crab"

HaSkins Wins.

Col. Kittredge Haskins made al
most clean sweep in the caucuses
throughout the second district Sat
urday. He carried Orange, Wind
ham and Windsor counties solidlY,
Bell getting only three or four towns
in the entire district. The Bell
'smachine" proved myth, and the
name of Haskins is likely to be the
only one presented to the conven-
ton.
or the 37S delegates chosen it is
estimated that $50 are for the Brat
tleboro man, and he will probably
get 900 votes on the first ballot.

HEROIC TREATMENT.
The Remedies That Are us@d ~ 4
Doctors of China.

The Remedies That Are uaad ~ 49,
Doctors of China.
Chinese doctors seem to delight
in heroic measures.
In several diseases, notably rheu-
matism, neuralgia, govt, ulcers, car
buncles and diarrheal complaints,
they are very successful. The meth
cd in treating these troubles seems
to be a liberal use of hot teas and
broths and a REIMBURSEMENT of all
other foods. In most of the foods
there is the simple tonic, ginseng.
In Others there are aperients which
are apparently impure EPSON salts.
One broth contained peppermint
leaves, chopped almonds, bay leaves,
honey, blood and wine.
The idea seems to be to drench
the entire system with hot water,
washing out the body in that way,
and relying upon the elements add
ed to the water for medicinal action
as well as nourishment.
Their treatment of most forms of
dyspepsia is truly heroic. The pa
tient is laid at full length and the
doctor with his muscular hands
pinches the body. The pinching is
done with the thumb and forefnger.
The method, though cruel, has ex-
.cellent results, and there is imme-
date relief and speedy cure.
For catarrahal troubles they use
warm solutions of astringents, rem
dered aseptic by peppermint and
similar oil, and where there is pain,
as in nasal catarrh, they use oil, in
which is put tincture of opium.
For some forms of dyspepsia they
burn paper, The paper burned is q
thick yellow tissue, which when
burned leaves a. fluffy black ash,
which is probably one-half carbon
and the rest silica and mineral salts.
Occasionally they write talismanic
,characters with colored pencils on
the paper. Different pencils are
used, and each is made Of a differ
ent substance, which when burned
exercises a chemical or medicinal
influence.
When it is burned and diffused in
a cup of tea the ingredients pass
into the stomach along with the
carbon Of the paper.-Kansas City
Independent.

Jefferson's Idea.

Joseph Jefferson was strong be-
lever in early marriages, and he
never missed an opportunity to inn
press his convictions upon young
men. In an address at Yale once he
said.

THE DOLLAR MARK.
Its Popularity In Being Written Before
the Figures.


Did it ever strike you as being
at all peculiar that we should use
the dollar mark ($) before instead of
after the figures in expressing the
sum of 3, 10, 20 or any other num-
Der of dollars? We may say "25
dollars" plain enough for any one
to understand, but as soon as we
put the expression into figures and
characters it is dollars 25" ($25)
instead of 25$, as it should be. Nor
is this all that is peculiar in this
connection.
In every country which has a
written language and a system of
coinage the abbreviation for the
unit of value precedes the figures.
In England the pound mark (f) is
used in the same manner that the
dollar mark is used in this country,
while the same popularity is notice
able in Germany, where the abbre-
Walton m. (for mark appears pre-
ceding the number, just as the
French abbreviation fir. (for franc)
is used in France.
If Authorizations are not used the
legend is more apt to be correct.
We find that in Mexico they have
a "212 pesos" instead of "p. 219,"
as one might expect, and in New
foundland they have a plain 2 dollar
piece. So, too, in France, where
the abbreviation is not used, we
find such pieces as 40 francs" "20
francs" and $40 francs" In Ger
many they have a piece marked "X
thaler," which is all very plain, but
the moment clerk, bookkeeper or
other person makes an entry or jots
down memorandum he tells you
that it is eth. X"
The English pound sign, which
is believed to be the oldest none
tary abbreviation now in use, is the
old initial letter by which the Ro-
mans expressed pounds" just as
we use the Obs" 1t has been sug-
gested that we use our money alb
breviation backward because the
Romans in expressing pounds" al
ways said "ibra deem" instead of
"decem LIBRA" the first being
pounds ten" and the latter "ten
pounds" When their initial letter
or character was used it always pre-
coded the figures, thus "G1O," in
stead of the reverse. Thus the whole
world has got in the habit of doing
these things backward.

Their Rance of Talk.

Challemel Lacour, the French
statesman, used to tell story about
Schopenhauer, the German philoso-
pher, whom he greatly admired. He
had an appointment with him one
day at Frankfort hotel and found
him just finishing dinner at the ia
BILE d'hote. There were several Of
ficers at the table, and in front of
'Schopenhauer lay gold piece. He
said to the Frenchman as he rose
and put the coin into his pocket: 81
have had this gold piece on the table
every evening for a month, having
made up my mind to give it to the
poor the first time these officers here
spoke on some other topic at table
besides promotion, horses or wom-
en-. have the money STILL"

The Jewel Wosd.

The most curious of all the ways
of spreading the seeds is thGt-adopt-
ed by the jewel weed. This is a
handsome plant, often seen in shady
places along brooks. 1t owes its
name to the dew, that in early
morning hangs in glistening drops,
like small diamonds, along the seal
Hoped edges of the leaves. Late in
summer-in August and September
the jewel weed is covered with
pretty flowers, something like snap
dragon blossoms, orange red spotted
with brown, Later on, when the
seeds are ripe, the lightest touch
will make the pods that hold them
burst open suddenly and scatter
them far and wide, like shot from
tiny cannon. For this reason the
European jewel weed is known as
Noh me tangere, which is Latin for
"touch me not" The garden bal.
sam, or lady's slipper, a relative OF
the jewel weed, has the same sort OF
elastically opening pods.

COooanuts.

The word cocoanut is derived
from the Portuguese "coco," mean
ing monkey, because the base resem-
bles a monkeys face. The tree was
known to the people of Ceylon as
early as 100 B. c., the milk being
used by them for making cement.
The cocoanut is one of the most
useful Of plants-root, trunk, leaf,
sac and nut are made to yield
tribute to man. The fiber Of the
husk furnishes excellent yarn and
is preferred to horsehair for stufing
beds, cushions, chairs and saddles.
1t is stronger and more elastic than
hemp. The Polynesians twist small
cords of this fiber, which serve in
the construction of houses and ca
noes where Europeans would en-
ploy nails. The green nuts are
grated for medicinal use. Grated
cocoanut forms an ingredient of the
East Indian condiment curry.

Spirit of the age. [volume] (Woodstock, Vt.) 1845-1913, 1906-06-16
MentaI Pofse and t1ealth.

People who reach extreme old age
are, as a rule, pretty well balanced,
physically and mentally. A poised
life is serene, and serenity and har-
mony tend to longevity. The mind
that is not well balanced is con-
stantly tangled and out of tune.
There is a constant EARRING which
racks the whole human machinery.
There is discord in an unbalanced
life, and discOrd is always destruc-
tiye-deadly. The well poised, dig
ni6ed life is not thrown off its CEN
ter quickly. The man who goes all
to pieces over trihes is one sided.
There is a momentum in poised,
balanced nature which steadies its
progress and helps hold it on its
chosen track. Hot temper, con-
slant mental COMMISSIONS and disor-
der are vitality sappers-life short
eners.-Success Magazine.
