FATE AND A NAME.
JOHN, WHEN BORNE BY ROYALTY,
SEEMS LINKED WITH MIS-
FORTUNE.

1t is interesting and somewhat curl
GUS to note the persistence with which
misfortune has dogged the name of
'John" when borne by royal persons,
although no i'll omen seems to attach
to it in the case of ordinary citizens.
For instance, King John of England
has always been regarded, whether al
together justly or not, as a most famous
prince. John of France was taken
captive by the Black Prince, and John
Ballilol of Scotland was most thor
oughly despised by his countrymen on
account of his fawning attitude toward
the English. Robert Ill. of Scotland
changed his name from John, but this
did not save him from his destiny. He
himself was cripple and died of a
broken heart, the most tragic fates
having overtaken all most dear to him.
John l. OF Bohemia, was blind. The
Pope John /. was imprisoned by the
king of the Goths, and Pope John X.
was driven from Rome by the Duke of
Tuscany. Pope John NI. was i'm
prisoned by his brother and is supposed
to have been poisoned, fate similar
to that of Pope John XIV. Pope John
XIV. was forced to flee from Rome and
died of fever in Tuscany. John XVI,
dubbed the "antipope," after atroubled
career, was brutally tortured and con-
signed to dungeon for the brief re-
mainder of his life.
John l., of Constantinople, was
poisoned; John II. was killed while
hunting wild boar, and John Ill, was
dethroned, his eyes put out and left to
die in prison. John l., of CASTLE, was
killed by a fall from his horse.
This is not by any means a complete
list OF the unlucky Johns, but it serves
to show the fatality which seems to
cling about the name in SO far as roy
atty is concerned. Chicago Record

GREAT SERVICE FOR PEOPLE WHO
WORK IN STAUNTON

Most Staunton people work every day
in some strained, unnatural position

To Keep Flies Out.

For those who object to wire netting
in the windows during the summer, a
new idea has been found to prevent
flies and such annoying pests from en-
tering the house. This new preventa-
tive is window-bOX of mignOnette.
1t seems that the insects do not care to
face the odor of this charming flower,
so that it is an effectual barrier against
their invasion. 1t sounds like very
pretty idea, and we may expect to see
ugly wire screenslentirely discarded and
the windows decorated with dainty
boxes filled with the sweet blossoms.

slender gilt pins used by entomologists
in mounting specimens, of which 1t
takes a, 500 to weigh an ounce. Mourn
ing pins are made from iron wire, heat
ed to get the proper color, and then
coated with black Japan varnish.-
Glass-headed pins are chiefly made in
Germany, q thin bar Of enamel or glass
being kept at proper temperature,
and the pin being inserted in it with a
whirling motion, which detaches
enough of the soft material to make the
head. Skilled worllmen are said to be
able to head 25,OO0 or 1000 glass pins
in one day.
The old nursery rhyme
1t is sin to steal pin;
1t is greater to steal a 'tater;
But he who steals copper
Is guilty of a whopper,
has its counterpart in one of Franklin's
"Hints to Those who Would be Rich"
A penny saved is twopence dear;
A pin days grOat year.
In the days when pins cost consider
ably more than now the term "pin
money" came into use to designate
sum set apart by husband for the use
of his wife, or by father for the use of
his daughter, for the purchase OF ap-
parel or ornaments for her person. In
one of Richard Steele's plays. 'rhe
Tender Husband" a character says:
1.-THE main article with me is that
foundation of wives rebellion and
husbands cuckoldum, that cursed pin
money-500 pounds for annum pin
money"
On the transfer of the use of the word
"pin" to linchpin, to keepa wheel on
cart; to rolling pin, for molding dough
for pie crust, and to nine pins or ten
pins to be knocked down in bowling
alleys, the transition is obvious. So,
too, the colloquial use for legs, as to
knock one off his pins, or to say one is
still on his pins. To pin ones faith to
thing is to put the utmost trust in it.
