JACK cADE.
He Was Killed With an Arrow by the
Sheriff of Kent.


One of the mysteries of history Is
that surrounding the arch traitor Jack
Cade. Nearly all historians have de
scribed him as an Irishman. He waf
really born in Sussex, where he was
as a youth a servant to one Sir Thorn
as Dagre.
This Sir Thomas Dagre, or Dacre
was Sussex knight Of great emf
hence. who had seats at Hurstmon
ceaux and Heathfeld, In that county.
Cade has for several centuries beer
a common name about Mayield and
Heathfield, as is proved as well by nu
merous entries In the parish registers
as by lands and localities designated
from that family. After his defeat
near London Cade took to the SUSSEX
woods, and he finally would have es
capped If his reckless courage had moi
brought him out into the open.
1t is additionally related that he was
engaged in game of bowls In the gar
den of a little ale house at Heathfel6
when a Kentish squire, Sir Alexander
Iden, sheriff of Kent, taking him una
wares, killed him with an arrow

CROSSING THE LINE.

The ceremony of crossing the line
is a very much more elaborate affair
nowadays than it ever has been despite
the fact that Neptune day is SO old
celebration that its origin is lost to
history.
When old Neptune, impersonated by
a sailor, makes his appearance on an
American battleship nowadays when
the vessel reaches latitude 0 degree,

jackies who have never crossed the
line before into the mysteries and
membership of the Ancient Order OF

wife Amphitrite. another sailor They
are both dressed Enthusiastically in
clothes which have been designed and
worked upon ever since the vessel
sailed. How they get on board Is I'M
known. at least to the captain, who
meets them and gives them permits
sion to go ahead. An immense tank
made of canvas is rugged up, and here
the initiation Of all the candidates
takes place. Devices for getting the
candidate into the tank vary on diff
ferent ships and on different occa-
sions. Often he is simply picked up
and thrown in Frequently he is
made to sit down In BARRIERS
chair close to the edge Of the tank,
and when as much soap as possible
has been put Into his mouth and eyes
he is tipped over backward. Generally
the soap has been mixed with tar,
coal oil and many other ingredients
and is impartially applied from the
waist up, so that the bath Is needed.
In the tank the candidate is attend
ed, sometimes by 'bears'' with shaggy
coats made of unraveled rope and
sometimes by cops who act as the
kings assistants and see that the can
didate is held under water long enough
to know it.
1t is a great frolic, prepared for days
in advance, and when 1t is over the
certificate is issued and the candidates
are free to get themselves as clean as
they can before the next roll call

Wars That Were Caused by Women.

Wars That Were caused py women
do not think that any of you are
ignorant, my friends, that the greatest
wars have taken place on account OF
women-the Trojan war on account OF
Helen, the plague which took place in
It was on account of Chryseis and the
war called the sacred war on account
of Theano. This war lasted ten years
The Crissaean war, which also lasted
ten years. was excited on this account
because the Crissaeans carried of
Megisto, the daughter of Pelagon, and
the daughters of the Argives as they
were returning from the temple.
And whole families have been ruin
ed owing to women For instance, that
of Philip, the father of Alexander, was
ruined on account of his marriage with
Cleopatra, and Hercules was ruined by
his marriage with Iole.-Athenaeus, A.

Of the Spree river, about fifty miles
south of Berlin. are seen the most Gu

bred world. As in Holland, the thor

funeral professions pass along the ice

If SNOW NEVER FELL.
The Effect Upon the Worlds Crops
Would Be Disastrous.

The Effect Upon the Worlds Crops
Would Be Disastrous.
If all the condensed moisture of the
atmosphere were to fall as rain and
none of it was snow hundreds of thou
sands of square miles Of the earth's
surface now yielding bountiful crops
would be little better than a desert
The tremendous economic gain for the
world at large which results from the
difference between snow and rain Is
seldom realized by the Inhabitants OF
fertile and well watered lowlands.
1t is in the extensive regions where
Irrigation is a prime necessity in ag-
riculture that the special uses of snow
come chiefly into view. All through
the winter the snow Is falling upon the
mountains and packing itself firmly In
the ravines. Thus in natures great
icehouse a supply of moisture Is stored
up for the following summer.
All through the warm months the
hardened snow banks are melting
gradually In trickling streams they
steadily feed the rivers which as they
flow through the valleys are utilized
for irrigation. If this moisture fell as
rain 1t would almost Immediately wash
down through the rivers, which would
hardly be fed at all In the summer
when the crops most needed water.
These facts are so well known as to
be commonplace in the Salt Lake val
lev and in the subarid regions OF the
west generally They are not so well
understood in New Jersey or Ohio
where snow is sometimes a pictur-
esoue, sometimes disagreeable, fea-
ture of winter.
In all parts Of the country the notion
prevails that the snow is of great value
as fertilizer. Scientists, however, are
inclined to attach less Importance tc
its service in soil nutrition-for some
regions that have no snow are exceed
ingIy fertile-than to its worth as 8
blanket during the months of higt
winds. 1t prevents the blowing off Of
the finely pulverized richness of the
top soil. This, although little per
ceived, would often be great loss

The Power Of Advertising.

The power Of advertising is told by
a manager of the toilet department Of
a large New York department store.
"We have six different makes of one
toilet article" he said, land they are
so near alike in quality that even ex-
perts can't tell the difference between
them, yet we sell as much of one as
we do of all the others together, just
because the manufacturer is everlast-
ingly advertising It, The other FIVE

vertising given to them. If there is
any difference in quality it is in favor

arrest her she would give him the

Mrs. Norcross and Mrs. Sweeney
were encountered together IN the
street. They were indignant at the
meddlesome interference OF the gov
eminent and both were quite positive
that in case the matter came before
the Supreme Court for adjudication
their husbands could be counted on
to resign their positions before they
would render a decision in any way
inimical to the ladies Of Carson City.
They did not care to be quoted as
foreshadowing Judge Talbot's judi,
