CATION and amazcmcnt Of the inhab-
itart3 Of tic globe, ald to the stu
dent Of astronomy nothing is more
interesting than the great similarity
Of tie stories That have grown up
abo2t the stars among the most
widely separated peoples.
/ The constellation which today is
called the Milky Way was known to
the primitive Indians and to the AT
rican bushmen as the Ashen Path,
the cindcrs Of which were conceived
to be hot and glowing. The ancient
inhabitants Of Britain called it Wat
ling Street, or the path of the myth
ical giants, the Watlings.
To the casual eye the gulf be
tween the highly civilized, ancient
Greeks and the American Indians is
well nigh impossible. Yet the con-
stellation known colloquially to
modern Americans as the Dirpcr
was called the Bear W both these
peoples.
The imaginative Indian thought
Of the four front stars as bear,
those in the tail as pursuing hunts
men and the small star on the end
as a pot in which they were to cook
their victim. In England the Great
Bear is known as Charles Vain,
and it is interesting to note in this
connection that Dickens mentioned
them in ''Hard Times as the names
Of two different consultations.
The aboriginal inhabitants of
Australia showed an ingenuity al
most equal to that of the Greeks in
naming the planets. The constella-
ton Of the Pleiades, which is COM
posed Of seven stars, was considered
by the Greeks to be band of maid
ems. In explanation of the dimness
of the seventh star they said that
ore Of the maidens fell in love
with mortal and thereafter hid
her light through envy of her sis
tiers, who were beloved of the gods.
To the Australians, on the other
hand, they were known as a queen
with her six attendants. Like the
Greeks, the Australians also sought
to account for the dim star, and so
the myth grew that the queen had
been stolen by neighboring con-
steIlation, the Crow.-St. Louis Re-

The Fool and His Umbrella.

The man who doesn't know how
to carry his umbrella is quite as
much an English institution as
American. Maybe the English type
is worse than the American. He is
extremely dangerous when he en-
tiers an omnibus, for, carrying his
umbrella with a grasp about its mid
die and its sharp iron point upper
most, there isn't an eye or tooth
in the omnibus that is safe. The
London Saturday Review, which is
considerably agitated over the ques-
ton of ''the fool and his umbrel-
Ia" wants the omnibus companies
to point the finger of scorn at the
fool by posting notice that his
t'other end up, grip around the mid
die fashion of carrying his umbrella
will not be allowed. - New York

history.
Although many authorities have de-
clared that the word "hurrah'' is a de-
velopment of the Jewish "hosannah,"
the consensus of opinion low is that it
Is a corruption of the ancient battle
cry of the wild Norsemen, ''Tur aier'
meaning '"Thor aid us!' Formerly the
word was spelled ''huzza'' and pro-
nounced Murray" In one form or
another it is used by almost every ma

toes in New York the first application
should be made in June and for me-
dunn varieties from July 1 to July 10,
while late potatoes may not require
treatment before the third week in
July. Repeat the application at periods
of from two to four weeks. Usually
three treatments are sufficient for both
the beetles and the fungous troubles
as well.

It is strange fact that the word
"dunce," meaning stupid person,
comes from the name Of one of the
most eminent scholars of his time,
Duns Scotus.
In the reformation the works of
the schoolmen fell into disfavor
with the reformers, and Duns, who
was the leader Of the schoolmen,
was often spoken of with scorn by
the votaries Of the new learning.
AS time went by the name Of Duns

The most useful all round invention
to humanity is the printing press.
Generations. ago some philosopher said,
"In the world there is nothing great
but man, and in man there is nothing
great but mind" That is to say. while
there are many great things, the great
est is mind 1t is by and through his
intellect that man has risen to the
mastery of the planet. and whatever
sharpens the intellect at the same time
advances the worlds civilization. This
the printing press has done as nothing
