II Won For SardOu.

1t is a singular fact that the famous
French dramatist Sardou owed his first
success on the boards to his excellent
handwriting. He had sent In his often
rejected play, LA Taverne DIES Etudi'
ants" to the Odeon management for
consideration. and the manuscript was
thrown, with some others, upon table
One day at rehearsal the charming &C
tress Mile. Berengere was attracted by
the handwriting and took up the manu-
script, crying, ooh, what an exquisite
handw She read the play and recon-
mended it so strongly to the directors
that they were induced to read it and
then accept it. At the time Sardou was
starving. He had gone through seven
long years Of terrible hardship and pri-
walton.

The Ancient Celt.

Professor Weber, the Munich archae-
ologlst. has been excavating an irish
or Celtic village near Manching' an
hour from Ingolstadt. The village lies
about ten feet below the surface and
nrobably was q fourishing hamlet IN
the time of Julius Caesar. 1t Is sur
rounded by a wall and has an extern
sive cemetery. Some Of the graves ap-
near TO have been opened before, but
from those which had not been disturb
ed many interesting facts bearing upon
ancient Celtic life have been disclosed.
The bodies were clothed in wooden
coats held together by pins and by q
girdle at the waist, and short wooden
trousers were also worn and possibly
shoes. though no remains Of the latter
have been found. Like the American
Indian. the ancient Celt was buried
with his arms beside him, the sword
at the right hand, the lance at the left
and the shield placed lengthwise over
the body. The arms seem to have been
left naked and were probably tattooed
or covered with bracelets and orna-
ments. The ornaments found indicate
that some Of the graves probably con-
tanned Irish kings and mobiles.

HEADLEsS, YET ALIVE.
Insects That Continue to Exist After
DecapitattOn.

Decapttatton.
Must persons Of an observing turn OF
mind are aware Of the fact that there
are several species of insects that VIII
continue to live without seeming ncon-
yenience for some time after decapita-
ton, exact knowledge on the length OF
time which the various species OF III
sects would survive such muulation
being somewhat vague.
Professor Conestrinl once undertook
n series Of experiments with n view OF
determining that and other facts In re-
lation to the wonderful vitality of such
creatures. In each case the head was
smoothly removed with n pair Of thin
bladed forceps, and when spontaneous
movements Of the wings and legs ceas-
ed he employed sundry irritating de-
vices, such as pricking, squeezing ana
blowing tobacco smoke over the insect.
AS n result Of these experiments he as
certained that members Of the beetle
family at once showed signs of suffer
ing. while such as ants, bees, wasps,
etc, remained for hours unaffected.
Some which seemed stunned from the
effects of the operation recovered after
time and continued to live and enjoy
a headless existence for several days.
Butterflies and moths seemed but little
affected by the guillotining process, and
the common flies (diptera) appeared 10

The bodies of some species of butter
flies survived as long as eighteen days
after the head had been removed. but
the head itself seldom showed signs OF

tatlon. In the general summary OF

THE HANDKERCHIEF.

sixteenth Century.

II Had Its Origin In Venice In the
sixteenth Century.
About the year 1910 an unknown
Venetian lady first conceived the happy
idea of carrying a 'fazzolettO," and It
was not long before her example was
widely followed throughout Italy. The
handkerchief then crossed the Alps Into
France, where its use was Immediately
adopted by the lords and ladies OF
Henry lis court.
The handkerchief of that period was
an article Of the greatest luxury. 1t
was made Of the most costly fabrics
and was ornamented with the rarest
embroideries. In the reign Of Henry
III. It began to be perfumed and re-
ceived the name Of "mouchoir de We
nus" 1t was not until 1880 that the
handkerchief made its way into Ger
many. and then its use was long con-
fined to princes and persons Of great
wealth. 1t was made the object OF
sumptuary laws, and an edict publish
ed at Dresden in 1895 forbade Its use
by the people at large.
Slowly, but surely, however, the vul-
garization Of the pocket handkerchief
has been accomplished, and today even
the humblest is superior in one I'M

A FAMOUS MONSTER.
An Old Time Wonder That Had an
Eye In Its Knee.


In the writings Of both Licetus and
Zahn may be found descriptions and
Illustrations Of n monster born at RAJ
VIENNA. Italy. in the year 1911 or 1912,
the exact date being somewhat uncer-
tain. This monster had body and
shoulders like those of young woman.
There was but one leg, gradually Ia
pering from the hips down and termi-
mating in an immense scaled claw, ike
that of a turkey buzzard. There were
four toes, each tipped with n bony nail,
three Of them pointing to the left and
one to the right The creature had
wings in place Of arms and always
held them in an erect position, as
though ready to take flight at the
slightest provocation. From the hips
TO the single knee the flesh was COW
cred with large, well arranged feath-
ers From the knee joint to the foot
the leg was scaled. like that Of the COM
mon barnyard fowl the spot where the
feathers left of and the scales com
menced being marked with a large Id
less eye. which seemed to be altogether
Incapable of voluntary motion. The
neck. head and general outlines of the
face were those of a woman, but the
ears were large and set very low, al
most on the neck.
The head was covered with a queer
mixture Of scales, feathers and HAIR
but the oddly Of the whole upper
story" was a pointed horn, which rose
Just in the edge Of the hair on the CEN
ter of the forehead. This horn was
three inches in length, and, according
to Zahn, "even q farmer would have
mistaken it for the horn Of two-year-
old heifer had 1t been removed and
shown to him."
The old time wonder mongers all give
pictures and descriptions Of this "horn-
ed Italian monster" but none tells how
/ long II lived or what was done witt
the body after death.

Startling But True.

People the world over were horri-
fed on learning of the burning OF a
Chicago theater in which nearly six
hundred people lost their lives, yet
more than FIVE times this number or
over 8, ZOO people died from pneumonia
in Chicago during the same year, with
scarcely passing notice. Every one
of these cases of pneumonia resulted
from a cold and could have been pre-
vented by the timely use of Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy. A great many
who had reason to fear pneumonia
have warded it off by the prompt use
of this remedy. The following is an
instance of this sort: ''Too much can
not be said in favor of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy, and especially for

FACTS ABOUT MUSK.
How the Strong Perfume Is Obtained
and Its Various Uses.

ana various NbCbs
Although pure musk is not usually
relished by the delicate olfactories OF
persons with cultivated senSibilities'
there is no odor so extensively used IN
the compromising of perfumes. II Is
obtained from the musk deer, which
inhabits the mountain ranges or Tibet.
This animal is smaller than the deer
Of this country, being about the size OF
a calf. 1t Is Of dark gray color and
has no horns. The odor for which 1t Is
valuable is q fluid secretion in a sac
on the underside Of It's body.
This is exposed TO the air and when
dry is sent to the market. When nrst
obtained it is about the consistency OF
honey and has bitter, pungent taste'
II is used as a medicine, but has more
value as a perfume. On account OF the
persistency with which musk retains
its odor II is used as the groundwork
for other perfumes which are more
volatile. 1t Is said that single grain
Of musk will perfume a room for
twenty years.
So strong is it that it has been esd
mated that 5000 parts Of a substance
IN itself devoid Of odor will become
permeated with the scent with one
part Of musk. 1t is In consequence
very valuable, and as it is difficult to
procure on account of the almost mac
cessible haunts of the musk deer 1t Is
quite expensive. Chemists have long
endeavored to procure an artificial
musk. but they have not as yet been
successful.
