THE COMING Of PEACE.

If the national arbitration and peace
congress, which opens in New York to-
day, does no more than give an i'm
pulse to the peace movement and
demonstrate the substantial sympathy
of the American people with the idea
of arbitration as the humane and CIV
iIized method of settling international
disputes, it will have been worth while;
hut the world is coming to a realiza-
tion that it will take something vastly
more potent than sentiment to put an
end to ornaments of war.-Philadel-

Liuhtninq Superstition.

The ancient Romans avoided places
struck by lightning. The houses If
damaged were pulled down or fenced
in so that no one could use the build
ing OH which the gods had set the mark
of their displeasure. This feeling was
probably deepened- by the fact that GER
tain localities are visited by thunder
storms more than others, the wrath of
Jove descending in white fame time
and again in the same spot. And 1t
was the same superstition, lingering
among Christians in slightly different
form, which made 1t so difficult for
Benjamin Franklin to introduce the
lightning rod, for the pious Americans
of that day declared that ut was as
impious to erect rods to ward of heay-
ems lightning as for child to ward off
the Christening rod of its father"

Thu Wood In Old VjoIins.

Theswoods most favored by the old
masters for violin construction were
pine, pear, lemon, ash, maple and
sycamore, and by some Of the later
men apple was used. Boxwood was
universally employed for bridges.
Haweis says, "a perfectly harmonious
marriage is as rare between violins
and their bridges as it Is between men
and women" He deplores the heart
less substitution OF new bridges for
old ones and insists that new bridge
will never mate perfectly with an old
violin, and rather than resort to sub
stitution he advises patching and re-
pairing the old one as long as it can be

Japan has been paramount IN
Korea now for over year, and last

about S27,O00,000, a falling off of
nearly 100000 from the figures
of the year before. The chief im-
ports Of Korea are cotton goods.
oil, tobacco, timber, -four and
matches. Korea has massive and
untouched forests, and these must
soon come into use and add greatly
to the wealth of the country.
There is, Of course, little demand
in Korea for the Injuries of life,
and the methods of agriculture and
industry are so primitive that it
will be sometime before there is
much demand for foreign imple-
ments. But that the country is
destined to come to great value
some day no one who realizes her
mineral and other wealth can
doubt.

fridge shell removed from his nos
yesterday by DR. Yeager that had
been in his nose for the past IS
month. Last January year ago,
while living on the Warwick place
in Bath county. the little fellow
found the shell and put 1t in one of

<EsEmethod of bass fishing
was discovered this week by one of
our local fisherman. While fishing
along Knapps creek he discovered
an ingenious youth with a big
string Of bass which he had caught
at the reunion grounds. This Young
disciple of Isaak Walton would get
into a pool where there were a
number of bass and scare the fish
under shelving rocks. Then with
four foot line baited with craw-
fish he would 60 up close to the
rocks and drop his bait by the side
of the rock under which the bass
had taken refuge. The crawfsh
would crawl up under the rock and
the bass would readily take it. A
good, hard pull and the fish was
landed. This is rather an unsports-
man-like method, but it will get
fish for the pot every time. The
Youth had 81 on his string ranging
from ten to fourteen inches.

OLD TIME CALENDARS.
The Saxon cIosg, Whence Comes the
Name almanac"

The Saxon Clogs, Whence Comes the
Name almanac"
In these days, when printed calendars
are in evidence everywhere, the ques-
ton as to what device the elder folk
employed to help them mark the prog
ress Of time Is not uninteresting.
They," says Verstegan, abiding to
the Saxons, FUSED to- engrave upon
certaine squared sticks about foot in
length, or shorter or longer, as they
pleased, the courses Of the incomes Of
the whole yeere, whereby they could
alwaies certainly tell when the new
incomes, full incomes and changes
should happen. as also their festival
daies, and such carved stick they
called an al-men-aght-that. is to say,
al-mon-heed, to wit, the record or OBJ
servation Of all the incomes, and hence
is derived the name almanac"
An instrument of this kind was also
called the >clogg, from its form and
matter, and had ring on the upper
end of 1t to hang on nail somewhere
about the house. On each Of the four
sides were three months, the days be-
ing represented by notches. Every
seventh notch, being Of larger size,
represented Sunday. Issuing from
the right side Of the notches were in
scriptions and figures marking the
festival days by some endowment of
the saints or illustrating the season Of
the year by some work or sport char
acteristic of it.
Thus against June 20, st. Peters day,
were carved his keys. On Feb. ID
true lovers knot appeared, and against
the notch designating Christmas day
was the old wasshalling or carousal
horn that the forefathers used to make
merry with.
The Danes, Swedes and Norwegians
used these almanacs under various
names, such as Reinstocks, Runstocks,
Runstaffs, Annales, Slaves, Stakes,
Cloggs, Runici, and SO forth. Before
printing was introduced and when
manuscripts were rare and dear these
Runic almanacs were made the instru-
ments of instruction and regularity.
That they might be more serviceable
they were often carved on the tops Of
pilgrims slaves or stakes so as to
regulate their time of assembling at
particular places. They were also cut
on sword scabbards and implements Of
husbandry. These cloggs are not en-
tirely unlike the Egyptian obelisks.
which have been called fingers of the
sun and which may be regarded as
species Of almanac.
One Of the first printed almanacs or
calendars was that Of John Muller,
who opened a printing house and pub
lished his almanac at Guremburg In
the year 1872. 1t gave not only the
characters Of each year and OF the
months, but foretold the eclipses for
thirty years In advance.
In England the year book of Henry
VII. gives the first recorded account OF
almanaca.- Chicago Record Herald.

.A Homsmads Weather Glass.

A very reliable weather glass can be
made out of such simple materials as
an empty salad oil bottle and quart
fruit Jar. Having procured these arti-
cles, pour sufficient water into the jar
so that it covers the mouth Of the bot
tie when the latter is inserted into the
former. In fine weather 1t will be
found that the water will rise into the
bottle, but will fall back into the jar
when wet weather Is due. Though the
idea Of this quaint homemade barome-
ter is not new, it Is quite reliable.
