NEW IDEA FOR INVENTORS.
Something the World Needs and
 Would Pay We'll For.

Inventors would get untold gobs of free advertising if they would give to their inventions names rymping with some one or other of our 5000 rhyme less words" an editor said.
 Take the word silver It has no rhyme, It is a stumbling block to ev- cry poet. The poet uses it at a lines end and then has to destroy the line because there is no rhyme for it. Sup pose, as he sought frantically, an in vention called the diver appeared. Then, in order not to lose his line, the poet would drag in the new inven- tion, thus giving it an 'ad' worth $5 to $10, an ad like this:
 "'The moonlit sea, sea of silver,
 As perfect as perfect diver
 Do you catch the idea? Yet our in- ventors exercise their best talent, call a new aeroplane a wolf to rhyme with 'coif, a new soundless typewriter 'gorange to rhyme with orange" a home ice-making machine a 'kulf' to rhyme with gulf and so on"

TITLES TO ARCTIC LANDS.
l.aads Hitherto Unknown Discovered
 and Named by Explorers.

The voyage of the Canadian govern ment cruiser Arctic to the far north suggests for consideration the ques- tion of the ownership of some far northern lands. For many years eX- plorers of various nationalities-Brit- ish, American, Scandinavian and others-have ventured into the frozen wilderness lying between the Do minion of Canada and the north pole, and have there discovered lands thith- erto unknown and have named them and planted flags upon them. There has been much international rivalry in the work of elaborating the arctic map and of pushing on toward the pole.
 But there has been little thought in the minds of the adventurers or in that of the public of the delimitation of International boundaries in the realms of paleocrystic ice and eternal snow. But now the Canadian govern ment brings that thought to mind in the intimation that the Dominion ex tends clear to the north pole and that all the lands which have been discov cred and explored in those regions, no matter by whom, are under the British flag
 Mechanically the question is some. what complicated and might form the subject of interminabe argument There are those who hold that discov- cry and exploration give title to new lands, while others insist that title is not perfected without actual occupa- tion and permanent settlement. But how If the lands in question are not fit for or susceptible of settlement?

TONIC IN 4 SUN BATH.
In Most Cases Better Than Any MedI.
 cine Taken Internally.

Some one called the sun Gods anti. septic and sterilizer, and certain it is that not half the people on the earth realize how large part sunshine can play in cleansing, purifying and mak- ing whole.
 No one can overestimate the value of a sun bath, and each year you see an increased number of children, wrapped up from the cold and com fortably tucked into the perambula- tors, on the sunny end of the piazza, getting the benefit of this greatest of natures tonics.
 Sun baths that are taken as rem edy for rheumatism, or to ward against sleeplessness, have better ef- feet if they are followed by a warm sponge. If they are taken for any skin disease (and in such troubles they are exceedingly valuable), they should be followed by warm bath.
 Even when there is no special dis- ease to fight, but just sense of Ian guor and fatigue, and a rundown ler- vous system, the sun bath will do good work-better than medicine. .-Bostop Herald

AIIiQator's Affection.

It seems that if you only begin early enough, it is possible to tame even the fiercest animals. A baby alligator, caught in a swamp, was taken to the home of it's captor in New York, and in the course of time it would follow him about like a dog. What was even more curious was that it and the cat became great chums. When pussy slept before the fire the alligator used to lay it's head on the cat and go to sleep, too. The only creature that excited the alligator was a fox, chained in yard It did not try to bite the fox, but lashed it with it's tail. Once, had the chain not broken, poor Reynard would have been beaten to death. The alligator was fed on raw flesh and milk, of which it was very fond. When the weather was cold it was kept in a box with wool in it. One frosty night the wool had been forgotten, and next morning the alligator was found dead

THE WEATHER

The weather is always topic of dis cussion Let it be hot or cold, sunshine or rain, you will hear something said about the weather Just now there seems to be a better reason than usual for talking about the weather. We ev- idently have had a record breaking spell. During the month of March, we had time of real spring weather We concluded that it was time to begin farming in ealhest and prepare for the summer months which we had reason to believe would come during the present month or shortly after It is not E'lely that we will have spring again this year, but when the winter breaks, summer will be here.
 But the farms will not look Ike sum- mer. It would be impossible for either coin or cotton to grow during such weather as we have had for the past month. Everybody is discouraged over the situation. Trade is dull and gen eral depression in business from local point is imminent. Mouse to talk about making hay while the sun shines. There is nothing to it. We may be as sured that we will have sunshine soon. We could not expect to have good weather here when it is showing in Kansas, at least we could not expect very much real spring. A few warm pleasant days and some busy blows and harrows will change the appearance of things wonderfully and there will be hope and promise.
 There is scarcely anything to be gained by speculating on and discussing the weather. We can do nothing but accept things as they come and arrange our business affairs to meet conditions as nearly as possible. With faith in the assurance that all things come to him who waits, we will have patience.

CLEOPATRA AS SHE WAS.
Historians and Poets Have Given Us
 Diverse Characters.

On the pages of Plutarch and Dion Cassius-so far as we are concerned exists the one and only Cleopatra of history writes s. R. Littlewood, in London Chronicle. Quite undoubtedly for any one who reads these without prejudice the Cleopatra who emerges is above all the Cleopatra of political necessity, the vigorous, able and un- scrupulous queen, fighting for her throne and dynasty by every method In her power
 In the Cleopatra of the unadorned story there is remarkably little hunger and thirst after unrighteousness for its own sake. Each one of her immor- al armours had its political purpose.
 As for her suggested decadence, 1t is significant that she was a most ex- cellent mother to her children-not only to Caesarion, but to the three she had by Antony, of whom the two cid est sons were twins She is charged nowhere with any unnatural vices and the money she lavished on Antony's pleasures was mostly his own. Also It is worth remembering that at her best she was not beautiful. but lively, racy and good company"
 Now, out of this real, strenuous, practical Cleopatra what diverse won ders have not the poets created!
