The Knockout Blow.

The blow which knocked out Corbett
was Q revelation to the prize fighters.
From the earliest days of the ring the
knockout blow was aimed for the jaw,
the temple or the Jugular vein. Stomach
punches were thrown In to worry and
weary the fighter but If scientific man
had told one of the old fighters that the
most vulnerable spot was the region Of
the stomach, he'd have laughed at him
for an ignoramus. DIR. Pierce is bringing
home to the public parallel fact; that
the stomach is the most vulnerable organ
out of the prize ring rs well as in 1t. We
protect our heads, throats, feet and lungs,
but the stomach we are utterly indiffer-
emit to, until disease finds the solar plexus
and knocks us out. Make your stomach
sound and strong by the use Of Doctor
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, and
you protect yourself In your most vulner-
able spot. rGolden Medical Discovery"
cures wweak stomach" Indigestion, or
dyspepsia, torpid liver, bad, thin and i'm

THE HOUSE OF COMMONS.

A Member May Drink There, but 1.
Not Allowed to Eat.
The British house of commons has
its own code in regard to the partak-
ing of liquid and solid refreshments.
A member making long speech may
take drink, and the house Is liberal
enough not to care whether the color
of the contents Of the glass is white or
brown or black, whether, In fact, the
glass holds water or whisky or beer.
Mr. Gladstone's egg fiips, which his
wife carefully compounded for him
and he brought to the house in a bot
tie, are classic.
But woe betide the man who scorns
drink and must have meat. Contempt
rary recollection only recalls one mem
Der rash enough to disregard this rule.
1t was a number of years ago, In the
stormy time of the home rule debates,
that an Irish member, in the small
hours of the morning. produced from
his pocket paper bag and drew out a
bun, which he proceeded calmly to
eat The house was instantly In an
uproar There were loud cries Of "Or-
der! Orderi" and that bun was never
finished
No member may read a newspaper
In the house. If he had the temerity to
smoke, the sergeant at arms would
quickly place him under lock and key.

Queretaro was a town before the
Spanish conquest and was made city
In 1866. A legend of Queretaro Is that
an Otomite chief, Fernando de Tapia
by name, undertook to convert the city
to Christianity in way that seems
novel to us, but was common enough
to his day. He came from Tula with
challenge to the people of Queretaro
to fair stand up fight If he won, the
people surviving were to be baptized.
The challenge was accepted, but while
the fight was In progress dark cloud
came up and the blessed Santiago was
seen in the heavens with a fiery cross,
whereupon the people of Queretaro
gave up aud were baptized They set
up stone cross to commemorate the
event on the site of the present church
of Santa Cruz. There Is scarcely q
church in Mexico which has not a leg
end of this kind attached to it.

holders of ancient titles have lost the

One OF the greatest mysteries to sci
entists, one for which there seems to
be no reasonable explanation, is that
concerning the migration of the lem
ming, or Norway rat. Instead of TAX
ing place once a year, these migrate
occur only once In eleven years. When
the time comes for the exodus the lit
tie animals journey westward from
Scandinavia, allowing nothing to stop
their movements which virtually
amount to a headlong flight They
swim the lakes and rivers and climb
the highest mountains in incalculable
numbers, devastating the whole coun-
try through which they travel. Natu-
ralists attribute the movement to some
inherited memory of a fight to escape
an expected cataclysm, but this seems
somewhat far fetched.

BLUEBEARD.
Two Different Stories an to who was
the ORIGINAL

the Original.
Like many of the other heroes of the
nursery tales, Bluebeard once lived in
the flesh and blood, If the old chron-
1cler Holinshed, from whom Shake
speare got so much of his material. Is
TO be believed. According to that writ
err the original Bluebeard was Giles de
Retz or de Raiz, marquis of Laval,
who became marshal of France in 1929.
He is described as an impious and de-
bauched man, devotee of the black
art, who enticed young men and wom-
en- to his castle and killed them In or
der to obtain innocent blood for his
magical entertainments and who also
murdered six or seven of his wives.
His crimes were discovered, and he
was burned at the stake In 1440 at
Nantes.
According to an old French legend,
however, the original BIuebeard lived
In Britanny in the sixth century and
was known as Count Conomer. After
seven Of his wives had disappeared he
became enamored of Triphyna, the
daughter of Count Guereck of Vannes.
Inc wedding was celebrated at Vannes,
and Conomer took his bride home.
Before a year had passed Triphyna
noticed a change in her husbands man.
ner and, fearing the same fate that
had met her predecessors, she fed from
the castle, but was overtaken by Como
mer, who struck off her head with a
single blow. st. Gildas, by whom the
unfortunate wife had been educated,
happened to pass the spot soon after,
and, seeing the body. he tenderiy re-
placed the head and by prayer restored
Triphyna to life The story does not
relate the end of Conomer.
