II has long been known that rats are

seem to indicate that feas serve as an
intermediate link In conveying the dis
ease from rats 10 men. According 70
the observations and conclusions OF
Simond. infection OF plague from one
human being to another takes place.
but In nm Insignificant number OF
cases compared with those where fieas
carry the infection from rat 70 man.
The recent experiments OF the plague
commission at Bombay have establish
ed the fact that fieas convey the
plague from infected TO healthy rats.
and Il has also been shown that the
species OF flea concerned Is always
found In plague infected houses. Med
zeal science therefore declares war
upon fieas as upon mosquitoes. and the
mystery OF epidemics Is proportionally
cleared up. Yet much remains TO be
learned.-Youth's Companion.

large fools caps must be made, 30
large that they will entirely cover the
heads OF the persons wearing them.
Eyeholes should be cut. and the person
inside each cap must look through

row. The rest endeavor to guess
who they are. When the clothing OF
the person Is hidden as well as the

r. ONGFELLOW has been called by
n critic "the poet OF the COM
monplace." Some friends OF the
beloved American poet have re-
sented this characterization, but others
have accepted 1t with thanks 10 the
critic. These latter hold that II Is
glory enough for a poet TO gorify the
commonplace, 10 see and express the
beauty OF simple things. as Longfellow
has done.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow was a
ripe scholar, one OF the best educated
men OF his time He was n reader OF
many lltsratures In many languages.
Much OF hs work consists OF transla-
tons from other tongues. the poet put
ting into simple and lucid English
verse the thoughts OF other men. but
introducing also much OF the person
atty OF the translator. BY far the
larger bulk OF his writings is original
and much OF this work Is distinctively
OF American flavor and inspiration.
Longfellow In "IIiawatha' produced
the FIRST great American poem OF epic
length and treatment In this work
the poet brought the neglected and de
spised American Indian for the hrst
time into poetic literature. He per-
ceived and gave expression to the ro-
nance Of the aborigine.
But IL Is by his briefer poems, tho
lyrical pieces. that Longfellow Is best
known TO the great mass Of the people.

public" said the proprietor OF Broad

fruit dishes, for example. All OF sud

fruit dishes Of glNs or china In vari-
Gus shades OF blue. There We're only n
few such dishes on the market. The
supply was soon exhausted, and before
another consignment could be secured
our clerks were pestered to death by
importunate women who wanted TO
know why on earth we didn't keep In

this craze for blue dishes and found
that II originated In the statement OF
French scientists that that color on ac-
count OF certain action Of the rays OF

TNHOUGH his baptismal name was
Thomas Jonathan Jackson. the
great southern general Will be
known in history always as
Stonewall Jackson. In fact, this so
briquet bestowed upon the Confederate
warrior through General Bees remark
at the first battle Of Bull Run. or Ma
nassas. There stands Jackson like a
stone wall" became so intimately iden'
tilted with Jackson's name even before
his untimely death In the very midst
OF the war that II came to be printed
without quotation marks.
Stonewall Jackson always stood like
a stone wall for whatever he believed
to be right. A native virginlan. he be-
lieved that Virginia and the south had
the highest warrant for seeding from
the Union. Jackson believed that Sc
cession under the circumstances at
tending the struggle was ordained OF
God. To him the Confederate cause
was always a sacred cause, and to him
the war was religious war. He was
a modern crusader. Not only his head
and heart, but his soul was In the
fight.
Jackson opened every battle with
prayer. Daily and, nightly be prayed
In his tent. and every man under his
command, no matter how irreligious,
felt the spiritual uplift OF his prayers.
But Jackson fought as well an he
prayed. He was a military genius.
Historians north and south. American
and European, have characterized him
as one Of the very ablest generals on
either side OF the conflict. But for his
death when the war had still two years
10 run stonewall Jackson might have
come out OF the struggle as the fore
most military genius OF the civil war.
General Lees estimate OF his chief
lieutenant In the earlier Virginia cam.
paigns expresses his own measure OF

er being wounded by his own men

louisville, a wound which resulted IA
tally a little later. the commander ex-
claimed:

arm: have lost my right arm!'
