WOOING SLEEP.
A Prescription That Worked Well In

A Prescription That Worked Well In
Philadelphia.
A haggard looking man strolled into
a downtown drug store the other day
and asked the druggist for help He
said he had trouble in getting to sleep
when he retired. No matter how
sleepy he might be during the day Or
how much sleep he might have lost,
the moment his head touched the pill
low he was wide awake and lay thus
for several hours. Once asleep he was
very hard to waken, but he had to be
up at certain hour, and in conse-
quence of his peculiar affection he was
losing more sleep than he could stand.
The drug clerk regarded him quiz
zically few moments and then re-
piled:
"My dear man. you don't want medi-
cine What you want is something to
change the trend of your thoughts.
Do as a friend of mine did. He was
troubled the same way and found that
the old folks plan of imagining sheep
passing a barrier and counting them
was out of date, SO he began trying to
name all the states in the Union. He
soon got them SO he could classify
them alphabetically. Then, when they
no longer interested him, he started on
the counties of his state. He now has
them at his tongues end, classified up
to the fourth letter. Now he is start
ing on state capitals and their loca-
tons. Then he will take up county
seats. A moments glance at an atlas
during the day shows him when he is
wrong, and the beauty of the plan is
that he rarely has to think along these
lines longer than ten minutes before
he is sound asleep. To make it short,
the study of geography is a good mar
ic."-Philadelphia Record.

A BOY HUNT.
Chased From Hedge to Hodge by Big
Pack of Weaseis.

Chased From Hedge to Hedge by a Big
Pack Of Weaseis.
The following extract from an inter
esting book may be of interest to our
friends 1t is From My Life as an
Angler" by William Henderson, pub
lished in London in 1879.
about this time, while rambling in
the picturesque lane leading from Mer
rington to Windlestone with two other
boys, an adventure occurred sufficient
ly startling 10 two little fellows from
nine to ten years cid. We were busily
engaged in picking wild strawberries,
which clustered in the hedgerows,
when we saw at about a hundred
yards distance 4 pack of at least
twenty weasels running from hedge to
hedge and evidently seeming out foot
steps. It flashed upon us that we We're
being hunted. So, sprfnging over the
nearest hedge, we ram across a pasture
field and, standing upon the farther
bank, looked back toward our assail-
ants. To our dismay we saw the whole
pack, with noses to ground. steadily
tracking our course. The word was
given, Run, rum and off we scam
pered across another field to take up
our position on another hedge. Still
the pursuit was going on. and the crea-
lures were evidently gaining upon US,
so with wild shout we fed to the
village, which, happily for US, was not
far off. / have frequently heard of
persons being attacked by weasels, but
was never hunted by them on any 9th
er occasion"
The above must have occurred about
1912. the locality being the north of
England.-Forest and Stream.

NEED OF PROTECTION.
ADVANCE IN PRICES OF FEED AND
BEDDING is SUCH THAT THERE
Is NO MONEY IN THE BUsI-
NESS.

Richmonds twelve liverymen at a
flee of the Arnold hotel, decided to in
crease the livery rates in this city. Civ
ing as their re ason that a good living
could not be made out Of the present
rates, with all kinds of feed as high as
at the present time. the increase in
rates will be about So a month on
boarders, while the advance on livery
hire will be about fifty cents per day.
1t is hardly probable that the rates will
be higher on afternoon or evening rigs
than it has been in the past, but this
will not be determined until later.
local liveryman states that he has
to pay $40 per ton for good hay, sixty
five cents per bushel for good, solid
corn, forty-five to fifty cents per bush
ell for oats and $40 per ton for straw.
The prices now reigning on all these
are abnormal and have not been as
high in several years. The livery rates.
understanding the i.crease in the
cost of materials, have remained the
same and the liverymen think the
rates should be commensurate with
the cost of feed. The liverymen claim
the decision of the twelve liverymen
could not under any consideration, be
called a trust as they are advancing
prices simply to protect themselves
against loss due to the advance of
price in feed and bedding stuffs.

to the increase in rates are l.. n. Cox,

nothing more attractive than fresh,

Tobacco Smoke Poisonous.

1t is often said that tobacco smoke
Is a powerful germlcide. The COM
position OF tobacco smoke is complex,
the principal constituents being oils of
a larry nature. Nicotine itself Is a
strong germ!cide. but the quantity of
this poison in tobacco smoke Is minute.
The oily matter which accumulates in
a tobacco pipe Is highly poisonous. but
does not contain any appreciable guam
tity of nicotine, the chief constituent
of this residue being very poisonous
oil known as pyridtne. Tobacco smoke
contains a decided quantity of car
bon monoxide, which is preservative
and which must possess germiclda!
properties. One of the principal CON
stituents accounting for the germicldal
properties of tobacco smoke is the pow
erful antlseptic rormaldehyde-N New

Origin Of the Emblem Of Authority
Used In Congress.
At the right OF the speakers desk
in the hall OF the house OF represent
atIyes in the capitol at Washington
stands a large cylindrical pedestal
made Of highly polished green marble.
When the house is called to order
each day, the sergeant at arms or one
OF his deputies places upon the pedes-
tai the mace, which is the symbol of
authority in the house. When the body
adjourns he removes it and keeps 1t in
safety until the house meets again.
This mace is of very ancient and
honorable origin. Under the old Ro-
man republic the magistrates passed
on foot from one place to another ad-
minIstering justice. trying public Of
tenders and imposing penalties.
Each OF these magistrates was at
tended by small body OF men known
as lictors, whose duty 1t was to make
way for the officers of the law. pre-
serve order, make arrests and infict
punishment on condemned citizens.
Each of these lictors carried with
him bunch of rods tied together
with thongs and having an ak bound
to the outside Of 1t. The thongs We're
used for scourglng and the ak for
beheading. Sentences imposed by the
magistrates were ut once carried out.
Those bundles of rods were known as
fasces. When the Romans conquered
Britain the use of the fasces as a sym
Dol was brought with them, and many
other Roman customs remained with
the British people.
While 1t was no. longer used for in
hicting punishment. it continued TO be
used as n symbol by the early English
magistrates. and when an officer ap-
peared carrying the fasces his au-
thority was Immediately accepted by
all. 1t was. in effect. his badge of
office.
The English form of the fasces was
slightly changed in that the AK was
placed inside of the bundle of rods.
with the blade protruding from the
top.
The great councils of the early
SaXons gradually developed into one
general body. which in the fourteenth
century became known as the house
OF commons. In all these earlier coun-
Ills 1HS uSt VI lhS AAsScS WIS Wi
tinued. but 1t then came to be known
as the mace. which has remained as
the emblem of legislative authority in
that body down to the present day.
The house of representatives of the
United States was modelled closely
after the house of commons by. the
trainers Of our constitution. and the
usage of the mace was borrowed from
the English custom.
The first mace adopted by the house
was destroyed by fire when the Brit
ish burned the capitol in 1914. From
1914 until 1912 mace Of painted wood
did service. but in the Inter year the
present mace was made after the model
of the original one.-CIeveland Plain

An Old Arab Legend That Tells Of I1is
unmatehed Speed.

An Old Arab Legend That Tells Of l4is
unmatehed Speed.
The bay colored horse Is said to be
the swIftest of all the horses. a story
TO illustrate this is told OF a certain
Arab sheik who. having been engaged
in fight with mother tribe, was tax
Ing his flight with his little son.
They were both mounted on mag
nifcent white mare which belonged to
the sheik and which had always been
highly valued on account OF the great
speed at which 1t could go. After hav-
ing ridden some little distance the
sheik asked his son to look around and
see II they were being followed The
boy replied that there was some one
riding after them on a black horse
The shelk seemed satisfied ON hearing
this report, but presently repeated his
question. The boy answered that they
were still being pursued, but that this
time the horse was white. Never
mind" said the father; mime Is
faster"
In a few minutes he asked for
further report, and the reply was the
same, with the difference that the horse
was chestnut. The shiek, however,
put his question fourth time, but
upon being told by his son that the
pursuer was mounted on a bay he
cried out, Then we are lost, for there
is no horse which 1t cannot overtake."
His words proved to be true, for in
short time they were caught up with
and captured.
