FEED. ON POND LILIES.
Moose Are Exceedingly Fond OF These
Pretty Flowers.

At first thought IL would appear I'm
possible that such large, gaunt dehi'
zens Of the forest as moose could IN
any way be interested In flowers. They
are, however exceedingly fond OF AL
kinds Of water lilies. Few people
know that these flowers grow from
thick snake-like root stocks which are
30 firmly attached to the bottom that
the strongest man cannot loosen them.
II is from these firmly moored root
stocks that the much admired leaves

A well known naturalist who studied
the habits OF the animals In northern
Minnesota, where moose are more nu-
merous than in any other part or the
world often found two or three big
bulls engaged in gathering their morn
ing meal on the lake bottom. Ihe
great beasts would slowly stalk about
I'm three or four feet OF water, anu
often their heads would be under water
for half a minute at time, so thar
their backs would look like powders
iust protrudlng from the stream; then
pair of magnificent antlers would
come up, and the water would De

ping noise that could be heard for
quarter OF a mile, and then the big
long muzzle would be leisurely chew
ing a dripping mouthful of water lily
leaves and other plants gathered from
the bottom.
So intent were the huge animals on
gathering flowers that several times
the naturalist could row up close
enough to secure good photograph

the shore and disappeared In the black
spruce. When the moose find good

PATENT MEDICINES.
They Were Known In Japan as Early
as the Year 1852.

Though Americans have got the idea
Into their heads that this country takes
the palm for the use OF patent medi-
cines, it appears that 1t falls far be-
hind Japan.
A report by one Of Great Brltain's
consuls ia Japan shows that the "Yan-
KEGS OF the east" began to develop the
patent medicine business long before
the United States was more than a
few little Atlantic coast hamlets-that
is, in the year 1852.
The business had It's origin at Toya-
ma, on the west coast. Its founder
and patron was Prince Seiho Mazda.
While daymio OF the province his max
Ing OF medicines for the poor attracted
such attention that Bandai Jokan, a
physician OF Katakami, brought sup
ply OF Han-GonTan C"medicine that
calls back the dead to life"D. This was
distributed from door TO door, to be
paid for when convenient, and from
that time has been popular remedy.
The Industry took root and flourish
ed. Medicines were distributed In the
last century by thousands OF agents,
who made collections once a year. TAX

A KINGS DREAM.
Belief In the Vision Might Have
Changed History.

Changed History.
On June II, 1915, Charles !. slept at
the little inn In Naseby village. Scouts
had brought news Of the approach OF
the parliamentary army. and the King
was resolved to give them battle.
In the middle OF the night the lords
of the bedchamber, who slept In the
outer room. were disturbed by an eX-
traordinary noise In the kings room
Upon entering they found Charles sit-
ting bolt upright In his bed ana In Il
much excited state.
On asking what the noise was, the
king said he had heard no noise, but
that their entry had reused him from
an extraordinary dream. lie said that
Strafford had stood at the foot or MS
bed and implored him not to give pat
tie, for If he did he would be so disas-
trously defeated as to threaten his
crown and even his life.
The next morning Charles told Prince
Rupert and his generals of his dream
but declared that he would fight. They
in vain tried to dissuade him. In the
evening news arrived that the enemy
were close Mt hand. That night Charles
again dreamed the same dream. Straf-
ford warned him that 1t was the last
time he would try to help him.
The next morning the king led his
army out and by sunset he had lost
cannon, baggage and four-hfths OF his
troops and, as events proved, the war
as well.
Strafford's ghost was right. Hao
Charles not met Cromwell at Naseby

met his death at acknowledgements

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 was
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 emil
nence. who had seats at Hurstmon-
ceaux and Heathfield, In that county.
Cade has for several centuries been
n common name about Mayfield and
Heathheld, as is proved as we'll 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 mol
brought him out into the open.
1t Is traditionally related that he was
engaged I'm n game OF bowls in the gar
den OF a little ale house at Heathfiec
when a Kentish squire, Sir Alexander
Iden. sheriff of Kent, taking him una
wares, killed him with an arrow
