Artists as Sign Painters.

It is surprising how many noted Eng fish artists began life by painting inn signs Among them were Morland, Da- vid Cox, Herring and Sir William Beechey. Millais painted George and Dragon sign for the George inn, Hayes common. Another George and Dragon, at Wargrave on Thames. has double sided sign painted by two R. As. Cor ing on Thames has a sign from the brush of Marcus Stone. R. A. There are signs by Walter Crane and Caton Woodville at Grayshott and Fittle- worth. Hogarth painted a number of signs for friendly publicans.

Historical Accuracy.

Perish the thought that the novelist or playwright should be tied down to historical accuracy Lady Dorothy Neville quotes an amusing correspond ence between Bulwer Lytton and her brother:
 My Dear Walpole-Here l am at Bath bored to death 1 am thinking of writ ing a play about your great ancestor, Sir Robert. Had he not a sister Lucy, and did she not marry a Jacobite?
 My brother promptly replied:
 My Dear Lytton-I care little for my family and still less for Sir Robert. but I know that he never had a sister Lucy, so she could not have married a Jacobite.
 However, this mattered little to Lord Lytton, for his answer ran:
 My Dear Walpole-You are too late! Sir Robert had a sister Lucy, and she did marry a Jacobite.
 So, in defiance of history, the play "Walpole" came to be written.

This tendency to belittle organs in the human body whose functions could not be explained has characterized more than one generation of savants. Now these peculiar semicircular canals are known to be wonderful little devices to assist us in keeping our balance. They act good deal as the ballast does on a ship, or, more properly speaking, like the fluid in a spirit level The brain keeps an eye on this spirit level and Is made conscious of the body's relative position. The fluid flows back and forth in the canals. and when we get 1t at a dangerous angle the brain knows it.-New York Tribune.

THE HUMAN THROAT.
u Has n Sort of Little Brain That
 Controls It's Actions.

Controls It's Actions.
 Did you know that the throat has brain of it's own? Few people are aware of it. but it's a fact. There is q small ganglia which exercises direct control of the muscles of the throat and acts as it's brain. Of course 1t is subservient to the genuine brain, but at the same time does good deal of in dependent thinking for itself. It is very timid and suspicious of any strange objects that come near the throat
 For this reason it is very difficult for a physician to operate on the throat Before anything can he done in this di- rectiOn it is necessary for the operator to gain the confidence of the little brain that dominates it. It frequently takes weeks before this confidence can be secured. and until it is secured it is impossible to perform an operation.
 Woe to the man who attempts rough treatment to the throat before gaining the little brains confidence. His oper- ations will be resented with violent paroxysms, first of the throat. then of the diaphragm. and. if the operator still persists. the patient will be thrown into convulsiOns. Still more curious is the fact that this little brain has a memory, and if once frightened in this way it is almost impossible to ever gain it's confidence, no matter how gentle the operator may be.

NEED OF EDUCATION APPEAR
 ENG

ln discussing the question of territor- ial government the Junesn Record Miner says:
 None of the territories were orgs- nized when the only communication be- tween towns was by water, nor when a railroad iu actual operation for any dis stance was practically unknown. Transportation facilities in the western territories were meagre but they were not confined 10 cog teams in the winter snd boats iu the summer, Roads were common, transcontinen,al railroads were bringing in settlers free of charge. Persons were able to move in any direction without restraint and with rapldIty. How different Is the situation here. It takes six days 10 go 80 miles from Valdez to Fairbanks un- der the mos, favorable conditions. At this season of the year it takes a month to go from Juneau to Nome. All other distances are covered in corresponding time"
 There k uo'duubs about the need of that education for which the Record Miner has been begging. We suggest that it take it's first lesson in UCited States history. It could probably bor- row the use of some fifth grade boy in the Juneau public school with bis little history 10 start with. After studying for an hour or so 1t would discover that 1t was fortunate territory that had the means of water transportation st the time oi it's organization.
 1.-the Record Miner will look deeply enough into American history it will discover true tales Of members Of legislatures making their way for weeks a,a time on the hurricane decks of cay uses, over tres.ess plains, through dense t0res,s. across swollen rivers and am.ds, warr,nE tribes of Indians, from their ho1es to territorial capitals It would learn that i; took the member of the house of representatives from Stevens county. Washington, for iu- stance. siN wseas to reach Olympia be- fore Is50. and ma, he would have counted himself lucky had he been eu. sb'ed ,o make the lourney behind a ,eam ot ma,amu;e dogs with comfort able road houses 10 stay in at night.
 The territory of :he Cnited States .na, had sinEe mile of railway track within it's borders at the time of its or Eanizauon Is the exception. Most of those which were organized after the invention of railroads had none within 1000 miles o: their boundaries. They were organized when the idea of trans conCiuenla, railroad was but the fantastic fancy Of 8 dreamer.
 The Reco:G-W.ner bas disqualified it. self to participate ID a campaign of edu- cation on the question of territorial 2 overnment except as a pupil in prim. ary class.
