Pepper In Olden Times,

During the middle ages in Europe
pepper was the most esteemed and i'm
portant OF all the spices. Genoa, Ven
ice and other commercial cities of cen
trail Europe were indebted to their
traffic In pepper for a large part of
their wealth. Its importance as a
means of promoting commercial activ-
ity and civilization during the middle
ages can hardly be overrated. Tribute
was levied in pepper, and donations
were made in this spice. which was
frequently also used as a medium of
exchange in place of money. When
the imperial city of Rome was be-
sieged by Alaric. the king of the Goths.
in 4OS A. D., the ransom demanded in
Guided $500 pounds of gold, 10000
pounds of silver and 5000 pounds OF
pepper, illustrating the importance of
this spice at that time.

WASTED PRECAUTIONS.
A Spell of Worry and Anxiety That
Went For Naught.

Went For Naught.
Ferguson was vending his uncertain
way homeward, sorely troubled in his
mind over the curtain lecture he knew
was in store for him and casting about
ly a bright idea was evolved from his
befuddled brain. He would slip into
the house and get quietly into bed
without awakening his wife.
Accordingly he stole gently upstairs.
carefully undressed outside the door
and crept into bed. with his face to-
ward the outside
He mentally congratulated himself
upon his success thus far and went to
sleep.
When he awOke in the morning he
dared not look at his wife. and after
lying still for a few minutes and not
hearing any noise from her he con-
cluded she was still asleep.
He then determined to arise very
quietly, carry his clothes outside the
door. dress there and go downtown to
business without waiting for break
fast. He was successful in this, and.
meeting the servant girl downstairs, he
said:
Eliza, you can tell your mistress l
expect to be very busy today and
therefore 1 didn't stay to have break
fast with her this morning"
Laws. sirr' said Eliza. "Missis went
away yesterday morning to her moth
er's and said she wouldn't be back till

Australian Curiosities.

There are some curious things in CEN
tral Australia. Lake Amadeus in the
dry season is merely a sheet of salt.
Ayers rock. about five miles round,
rises abruptly from the desert. For
merly vast rivers flowed here, and the
diprotodon. a wombat-like creature
worthy of its name and four times as
large as a kangaroo. fiourished on the
plains. Now there are hardly any ami
mails to be seen. The fish live in water
holes of the hills until the foods wash
them down to the valleys. At the end
of the wet season the water frogs fill
themselves with water. roll themselves
in the mud and lie low till the next
rains. which may not come for two
years. Meanwhile the provident frog.
like the ''mOusie" Of Robert Burns.
may have the misfortune to furnish a
drink to a thirsty black. The natives
also get water from the roots of trees.
They are in the totem stage and
revere certain plants or animals which
protect them. Men of one group can
only marry women from another single
group.
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1908-05-26

The Tampa Tribune makes a most
seductive appeal to John Stockton TO
primary beCause Gilchrist leads him
in the first. Why, man. John Stock
ton has just begun to fight. His blood
is thoroughly up now, and for the next
three weeks he will make d record
breaking combat in florida politics.
We don't speak by the card-this is
merely our opinion from what we
know of the man John Stockton is
not the kind of man to strike his flag
because of a reverse just when the
fight is getting most interesting, and
the issue as far from settlement as
ever.

very fine emery paper laid on grooved

the covered block is passed over the
strings, polishing as many at one time
as there are grooves in the block 1t

The Need of Common Sense.

l had a really scientific man to see
me the other day, and in the course of
our Investigation of a point we had
in common it was necessary to wash
oct bottle. The bottle was empty
1t was a round, wabbly vessel. and he
had TO hold it under the water long
time so that it might get full enough
of water TO hold it down. l asked
him why he did not fill it with water
first, and he laughed and said he did
not think Of il. And that bears out
my contention that ii is not because a
man is as clever as paint that he

The general impression that Govern
or Hughes, of New York had given
up the fight for the republican nom,
inatiOn at Chicago, seems to be with
out foundation. The whiskeEed exec
utiye is as full of fight as ever. and
his campaign manager, Secretary
Humphrey, of the National Hughes
League, has just moved his headquar-
tiers to Chicago, where he will work
for his chief right on the ground. In
a press interview given out Thurs
day. he SAYS:
Governor Hughes's campaign has
only begun. All efforts to make il ap-
pear that his name will not be pre-
sented have failed, and We have en-
phasiZed the fact by camping at once
on the battle field. He viii receive
not less than 136 votes on the first
ballot
This does not look like the figures
of the various Taft literary bureaus.
First, they planned to remove the gov
ernor from the presidential lists bv
sidetracking him in the vice-presi-
dency. Governor Hughes answered
with a candid, honest, emphatic No.
and everybody believes he meant what
he said. The second jolt came when

Hands and Feet.

1t is said that Disraeli was prouder
IF his small hands than of all his great
mental accomplishments. This was
presumably because they were badges
of aristocracy in their evidence that
he had not been brought up TO labor.
and he worshiped aristocracy. And
small feet of the same character-evi-
dences that the possessor did not go
barefoot when child. Generations Of
carefully shod children of the nobility
developed this characteristic of those
of gentle blood" as distinguished from
the commonalty. But such proofs of
superiority were not meekly endured.
In due time brainy commoners discov-
cred that the artistic hand" was not
small. but long and slender, and then
came the athlete multitude, who scorn
small hands and feet as evidences Of
neutrality-suspicious. Star.
