NOVA SCOTIA BLUENosEs.
No One Seems to Know Just Why This
Are So Called

Are So Called.
Those who dwell in the Canadian
province of Nova Scotia are called blue
noses. The name has stuck to then,
since time out of mind. but how they
came to get it is a matter of conjecture.
One thing is certain-they don't like it.
Nova Scotians pride themselves on
their English ancestry. and some will
offer the suggestion that the name is a
token that the blue blood shows. When
the French were driven out of Arcadia
the fertile lands they vacated wer,'
taken up by English colonists. chiefly
from Massachusetts.
The spirit of revolt was strong then
in Boston and elsewhere in New Eng
land. Those who were loyal to the
king and taxes found it a good oppor.
tunity to move, and from these loyal
lists Acadia was largely repeopled.
1t may be that the blue blood shows
and that the name is a badge of honor.
but most Nova Scotians don't believe
it, for they feel that it is term Of
reproach.
"Why bluenose?" was the question
put to one young woman whose home
isn't far from Nova Scotia.
"Why, after the bluenose potatoes.
Of course" she said. land l think it's
mean to name people after potatoes"
Now, it's true that. next to apples. po-
tatoes form the greatest product Of the
rich Nova Scotian soil. And it's also
true that the bluenose is the bright par
ticular star among the varieties of po-
tatoes they raise in Nova Scotia.
But the potatoes were named for the
people. not the people for the potatoes.
It's a simple question Of chronology.
You explain it carefully to the young
woman, and she says. How silly of
mew but you can see with half an eye
that you haven't convinced her.
Here's another guess. Being the
third and last, maybe it's the right one
At any rate. it's the one generally ac-
cepted In that part Of the American
world known as down east.

first gets red and then turns blue as
the icy breath of the north nips it.
But, however it is, the easiest way to
put the Nova Scotia nose out Of joint
is to dub 1t bluenose.-New York Sun.

Whan Not 70 Smoke.

1t is quite certain that much may be
done to diminish the risk of tobacco
amblyopia by paying attention to GER
tain points of personal hygiene. For
instance, a rule should be made never
to smoke upon an empty stomach. but
as far as possible only after meals. 1t
is absolutely bad to smoke before din
ner and equally bad to smoke late at
night to keep awake at ones work. 1t
should also be forbidden to chew the
cigar between the teeth, as many smok
ers are wont to do.-Hospital.

NATURAL SOAP.
The Queer Fruit Of a Tree That Grows
In ALGERIA.


The Queer Fruit Of Tree That Grows
In Algeria.
Soap grows on trees in Algeria. The
soap tree is ornamental and reaches a
height of fifty feet 1t begins to bear
fruit when six years old. The wood is
close grained, takes a good polish and
is admirably suited for furniture. The
average income from tree is $40 to
500 a year. The composition OF the
fruit consists of a nut shaped hull in
which is a seed. In the hull exists the
soapy matter In the proportion Of 80
to 40 per cent Of the bulk of the hull.
The soap principle is set free by the
shredding of the hull and using 1t with
water just as II 1t were a piece OF soap.
A beautiful lather is the result, and the
cleansing qualities are such that there
IL no soap made by human process that
can compare with them. For toilet
purposes the same applies. The hull
can be made into a powder and the
powder into a cake, so as to make the
use Of It easier. 1t can also be made
into a liquid for hair wash, dentifrice
and various other preparations. Seeds
of the Algerian soap tree have been i'm
ported to the United States, and soap
trees have been discovered in Florida
Indigenous to the soil. The seed has a
kernel which contains a fixed oil in ev-
cry respect preferable to the best i'm
ported olive oil, either for eating or
culinary purposes. and also for all
kinds Of industrial products in which
the olive oil is used. The yield in oil is
twice that of the olive fruit.-Balti-

AN ANGRY LION.
Movements That Always Preeede the
Animals Sprinu.

Movements That Always Preeede the
Animals Spring.
A lions first signs of anger are as
follows: Its tail rapidly twists from
side to side, the bottom slightly raising
and the black tassel at the end beat
ing the air. 1t lowers its head more
than usual and growls, at intervals
showing its teeth. Then its voice be-
comes louder. 1t roars, shows its teeth
and lowers its ears, the movements Of
the tail increasing all the time.
At the time Of charging-that is,
at the height Of its anger-the tail rises
in the air until It is almost vertical, the
black tassel continues to move, the
ears are fiattened completely, and the
animal comes toward you at a slow
trot, then at a gallop, and finally
springs forward with open mouth and
extended claws.
Sometimes 1t shows these various
symptoms without charging, restrained
by prudence. but 1t never charges with
out showing them. When the tail rises
the hunter can bring his rife to the
shoulder and await his opportunity. In
hunting a man who is on his guard is
worth four.
A charge is extremely dangerous, al
most always fatal when unexpected,
either because of the dense vegetation
or other causes, but If you see the AMI
NAL getting ready flight is useless.
Stand your ground. The only thing to
do is to keep cool and trust in your
weapon. If you have no confidence in
yourself it is prudent to avoid measur-
ing your strength against these ami.
mals.-Exchange.

admired of all were made of white

lace and having gold spurs. Some
times buff and red and much more
rarely the now prevalent black leather
was the material. Shoes for men

Old English Slaves.

Before the conquest and for a long

people of England were denuded of
all the substantial attributes of free
dom. The lords had the absolute dis
posal of them. They might be at
tached to the soil or transferred by
deed, sale or conveyance from one
lord to another They could not change
their place or hold property-in short,
they were slaves under their obliga-
ton Of perpetual servitude, which
the consent Of the master alone could
dissolve The system was not fairly
abolished until the reign of Charles IL.

and sold in Scotland with the estates
to which they were bound.-New York
