THE BOOMERANG.
One of the Most Peculiar Weapons
of War Ever Invented.

One of the Most Peculiar weapons
of War Ever Invented.
The boomerang Is an instrument used
both in war and in the chase by the
aborigines Of Australia. 1t is usually
about two feet in length, made of hard
wood bent into curve resembling an
obtuse angle, fat on one side and
rounded on the other. The method of
using this curious weapon is very pc
culiar. The thrower takes It In one
hand, holding the bent side downward.
and hurls 1t forward as II to hit some
object twenty or twenty-five yards In
advance. Instead of continuing to 60
directly forward In accordance with
the Newtonian law it slowly ascends
In the air, whirling round and round,
describing beautiful and xeometrical
curved line till 1t reaches a considera-
Bile height, when 1t begins to retro
grade, finally sweeping over the head
OF the protector, striking the object for
which 1t was intended, which Is al
ways In the rear.
An English officer has this to say of
the singular weapon: "Ihe boomerang
is one Of the most curious weapons OF
war ever Invented, at least by a bar.
barous people, nor is 1t easy to compre.
bend by what law Of projectiles 1t is
made to take the singular directions
that 1t frequently does. l have seen 9
native throw one 50 as to make 1t *
forty or fifty yards horizontally ant
not more than four feet from tn,
ground. It would then suddenly dar
into the air to the height OF fifty o.
sixty yards, describe very consider
able curve and finally fall at his feet
In all cases, no matter how thrown
the boomerang keeps turning witt
great rapidly, like as II on pivot

How to Make q Furniture Polish.
To make a furniture polish use one
ounce of brown beeswax, one-half
ounce of white wax, one-half ounce Of
CASTLE soap, one-half pint Of turpentine
and one-half pint Of water. Shred the
brown and white wax into jar Ga
two pound jam jar will do), add the
turpentine and let it stand on the stove
until dissolved. Shred the soap and
let 1t boil in the water until quite dis
solved. Allow to cool, then pour into
the Jar and stir all the ingredients to
gether. When cold, it will be thicl
cream and must be kept>air tight. Fol
old furniture this produces a deep
glowing polish quite different from any
other, and it does not finger mark.

The bride kissed the goblet, the knight

He quaffed of the wine, and he threw

coffee trees we're transported to Hol-

not known either to the Greeks or Ro-

Persians in early times. The frst cof-
fee house of which there is any record
was opened in Constantinopie in 1911

This Is the West Indian way of pre-
pairing oranges for the table: Peel the
oranges, taking off as much white skin
as possible; then slice them of all
round as you would an apple, regard
less of the sections. This leaves the
seed, tough, stringy central part and
most Of the inner skin together and Is
a much less tedious process than re-
moving the skin by sections. Use a
very sharp knife, so as to make clean
cuts and not crush the fruit.

thusiastic annual meeting at Roth s

for their rights. They do not pro
pose to be made the objects of IN
warranted attacks and would resent
them If they were made, but they do
expect to obey the law and make the
attempt to raise the standard of the
saloons over the county.
The point was made that there are
a number Of interruptions saloonkeep-
ers who have done more to bring the
saloons OF Lake county into disrepute
than any other one thing, and it is the
purpose of the league to protect them
selves from these men as we'll as from
the uncalled for interference of out
siders.
Speaking Of blind tigers. D. A.
shuck of the Bank saloon, said that
the saloonkeepers of Lake county were
as anxious to have this evil eradicat-
ed as the general public and that the
average saloonkeeper who pays a Ii
cense and abides by the regulations
that are imposed, is very angry to find
that some fellow Is running a low
dump where liquor is sold. trouble
caused and the blame finally placed
upon the saloonkeepers.
1t is the purpose OF the organization
to prohibit the selling of liquor to
minors, prevent gambling in saloons,
and take other steps necessary to raise
the standard of their places of BUSH
ness 1t was reported that there was
a large sum in the treasury of the
league and the organization is said to
