First Giraffe In Europe.

DR.. Johnson, as is we'll known, re-
fused for many months to believe in
the Lisbon earthquake, and Parisians
formerly were just as skeptical as to
the existence Of the giraffe, new spec
linen Of which has just been added to
the Jardin des Plantes. The earliest
specimen Of these gentle creatures was
seen In Paris in the reign Of Louis
XVI. We learn from French con-
temporary that the giraffe was first
heard Of in 1887, when it was de-
scribed by a Frenchman named Le-
valiant, who had journeyed In the
lands OF the Hottentots and Kaffirs.
When the explorer referred to the an
1mals with the long necks he was look
ed upon as Munchausen and told
that he was such In not the politest
language. 1t was only when some liy-
Ing specimens arrived in the French
capital that Levaillant's reputation for
veracity was re-established, and then
the animals for long time formed the
sensation Of Paris, not only among the
multitude, but in all scientific circles

The Irritating Mississippi.

The Mississippi is the. greatest irri-
tant in the United States. Its tickle
ness, conscious power and haunting
etdies bring oaths to the lips of the
most respectable and law abiding resi-
dents along its lower course. The
greatest admirers of the river, the peo-
pie who sing It's praises with the most
emphasis, are the ones who so off on
a tangent Of temper quickest when
they find new caving Of river bank
headed toward the newest and most
expensive levee, built to protect great
plantations, while just across the
stream rise worthless bluffs and useless
sand bars. Talk to a Mississippi river
man--shanty boater, pilot, raftsman,
plantation owner or city merchant-and
he viii brag about the river wonders.
It's bigness charms him and makes him
feel large and elated Bring him
around to his own experiences with
it, and suddenly shade of resentment
crosses his face as he recalls shanty

boat snagged, raft torn up in some
bend, plantation undercut and wash

an overflow and crevasse.

Reer Money and Churches.

In the eighteenth century there We're
no temperance societies or bands Of
hope, nor Rechabites and blue ribbon
army. To be as drunk as lord" was
the height of human felicity. It was
the age Of three bottle men, Of con-
vivial toasts. of drinking songs. Even
the church Indirectly encouraged in
temperance. There We're certain dis
tricts where at Whitsuntide the church,
wardens Were accustomed to levy con-
tributions of malt from the parishion-
ers. This was brewed into strong ale
and sold in the church. The Whitsun-
tide topers had, however, q pious
method in their madness.
The money spent on the beer was
expended by the churchwardens in
church maintenance, and the. muddled
roisterers no doubt believed them
selves to be pillars Of the church even
when, under the influence Of the alco-
hol, they rolled upon its pavement.
They thought themselves supporters Of
the church when they wanted "sup-
porting" themselves and deemed them
selves most sanity when they were
most soddened. Until as recently as
1927 (when the license was withdrawn)
a church and public house were COW

between Derby and Nottingham. A

get the house to suspend its rules for
passage of the ST.. Louis county
delegation bill, to permit the county
auditor to have office clerk hire of
$4,000 a year, and the county
treasurer $4,000 year for clerk
hire. Grant had made his request
for passage of the bill, and things
looked favorable until Opsahl raised
objection.
I object to rushing things
through in this proposed style, and
thus increasing the burden of the
taxpayers in the country outside
of Duluth said Opsahl. Mr.. Grant

but in France, owing to its tedious ma

from an early hour in the morning till
late into the evening the women are
standing up to their knees In water,
with a strong sun beating down on
