to support herself and her little Crow
The little Crow has been given the
name of Dorothea. Even though
Crow has failed to provide for his
family and says that he will not, he
seems to have sought to maintain
possession of the little bird in the fam
lily and the wife filed another article
with the court asking that she be
given possession of the little Crow as
well as its clothing and such other
things as belong to the mamma Crow.
This petition was granted by Judge
Dana.

EngIand's Coast Lights,

'"rhe coastwlse lights of England"
Of which Kipling sings. have been In
creasing In brilliancy rs well as In
number ever since the dawn Of the
nineteenth century. In that dark age
weary mariners crawled into port by
the Pickering glare Of twenty-five bea-
cons and six floating lights. Now they
may glide safely into haven under the
powerful beams Of $50. Lighthouses
are as ancient as civilization. The
Pharos Of Alexander flung Its light on
the decks Of oriental barges 2,237
years ago. The Romans. who loved
the light, have left the ruins of one
Of their lighthouses on cliff at Bou-
logne. while at Dover may still be
seen all that remains of another. Pc
troleum and the electric light have
made the early nineteenth century bea-
cons ridiculous. On the summit of the

Mermai7s and Mermen,

Nearly all nations have folklore and
fairy tale accounts Of mermaids and
sometimes Of mermen. Even the Amer
lean Indians had their woman fish,
and IMAM fish" The Chinese tell sto-
ries about their sea women of the
southern seas. Sometimes mermaids
and mermen are represented as leav-
ing the water and living with human
beings, but more frequently they are
pictured as being so attractive that
they sometimes will lure human beings
to destruction in the depths of the sea.
These myths have been utilized by
many poets and have even been used
for stories with a moral."-St. Mich

of parchment or plumes at their re-
ligious ceremonies. The Romans used

History Of Weight Standard.
The grain. the smallest weight stand
ard In general use, was SO called from
originally being the weight Of grain
Of wheat. A statute which became a
law in England in the year 1866 Or
dained that thirty-two grains Of wheat
taken from the middle Of the ear or
'head" and we'll dried should make
a pennyweight, that twenty penny
weights should make one ounce and
that twelve ounces should make one
pound. Some centuries later there
were some radical changes made in
the above. such as dividing the penny
weight into twenty four grains, etc.
This makes 5.7G0 grains in the troy
pound. as that measure Of weight is
now used in Great Britain today.-Lon.

COSTA RIGA PEACEFUL,
SAYS SENIOR ANDERSON
Secretary of State of
Central American Re-
public Here.
Declares Confidence in
Results of Coming
Peace Conference.

Senior Luis Anderson, secretary of
state for the republic Of Costa Rica,
and the youngest member Of President
Viquez's cabinet, who has just arrived
in Washington to attend the Central
American peace congress, which con-
venes here next week, speaks in glow
ing terms OF the great prosperity which
is now being enjoyed by this country.
He said yesterday that the attitude OF
Costa Rica in settling the controversies
now existing between other Central
American principaliues was entirely
mediStory IN character.
In speaking along these lines, Secre-
tary Anderson said:
Fortunately there is no problem
pending or any question to be settled
which directly affects Costa Rica. We
maintain most cordial relations with
our sister republics, and IL IS with the
most friendly feeling toward ali that We
have accepted the invitation 10 enter
irtO the peace conference, and TO DO ali
in our power TO contribute 10 the settle
ment of any and all controversies which
may exist between others.
From this standpoint, president
Viouez, our chief executive, considers
that the conference has vital import
ance, for which reason he has every
hope that the delegates viii reach an
anlicable agreement to the entire satis-
faction Of all parties concerned"
