the EnslIsh.
It is related in the Book Of
Judges that Gideon took from Ze-
bah and Zalmunnah, kings Of Mid
ian, ornaments like the moon that
we're on their camels' necks. The
Midianites were Ishmaelites and
thus ancestors of the Turks, 90 it
is not improbable that the symbol
was derived from them and IN use
long before the taking of Constan-
tinople in 1883. What lends some
confirmation to this theory is the
fact that Richard Occur de Lion
adopted this badge after he return
ed from the Crusades, having as
sumed it in commemoration Of the
victory which he with his galleys
gained over the great Turkish drO-
mon of Beirut in the year 1191.
This, practically the first English
naval victory, was celebrated both
in song and history by the chron-
lclers OF the period
The Enghshmen seem to have
been greatly impressed with the
enormous size of the Turkish ship
which must have been a very Dread
nought of her day. She was big
ger, they say than anything ever
seen at sea, gaudily painted in vel
low and green and carried no fewer
than 1,5OO men, among whom were
seven emirs and eighty chosen
Turks for the defense of Acre, and
was laden with bows, arrows, Greek
fire in jars and 1900 most deadly
serpents prepared for the destruc-
ton of Christians" Possibly these
"serpents" were a species of fire
work or rocket.
King Richards galleys attacked
her in vain for a long time, as their
crews could not climb up her lofty
sides despite the encouragement
held out to them by their royal
leader, who promised TO cruelty the
last man to board her. Eventually
several galleys drew OF and, put
ting on full speed, rammed the big
war vessel together in the same
spot, with such effect that she be-
gan to sink. The English were now
able to get possession of her and 10
throw overheard and drown the re-
mainder of her crew, according to
the pleasant custom Of the days Of
chivalry.
Portsmouth at this time was, as
now, one Of the principal naval
ports, and when in 1884 King Rich
ard set sail from thence at the head
of feet Of 100 ships, he as a spe-
cial honor bestowed the royal cree
cent badge upon the town as its
coat of arms. "a crescent of gold
in a shield azure with a blazing
star of eight points or rays of sill
yer between its horns" is the exact
description of the device which to
this day meets the eye everywhere
In the municipality. Thencefor-
ward, too, the crescent and star be-
came the official badge of the admi-
ralty and was used as such up TO the
year 1545, when it was superseded
by the anchor.-EXchange.

Hints for Women.

Surely never was there such a va
riety OF long loose coat models for sea-
side. country and mountain wear as Is
seen this season. The prices. too, are so
modest. and if one is wise in making the
choice these wraps may be worn in the
fall TO and from business (before the

outing and shopping.
The navy blues, tanS and browns are
most attractive. While every one knows
what good investment is the purchase
Of mixed tweel wrap. The prices are
all the way from IS upward.
Draped orerskirts and festooned sashes
seem to he returning to favor again. For
evening wear draped skirts are almost
exclusively shown. OF course, for day
and general use the fashion is not as
adaptable. but scarfs and ribbon sashes
are added to give the new effects even
on lingerie frocks. Sometimes a sash is
brought around the waist to the front
and then taken back. suggestive OF pan

SIMPLE REMEDIES
FOR BAD BRUISES

Knowledge OF how to treat severe
bruises every one should possess. and
quaint and old-fashioned as some OF the
remedies are. they are valuable. For In

will scatter the blackness resulting from
aoaguiation quicker than almost any
other remedy, and lie one does not like
the Idea Of such a plaster there is to
be said in reply that it is more desirable
than purple spots.
AS to the success OF a beef plaster, a
girl of sixteen years who thought she
would play base bail with the boys few
weeks ago can testify; for she received
stunning b ow In the nose from the ball
as II left the bat and what happened in
the next fifteen minutes she knows but
vaguely. She is, however, aware that BY

About quarter of a century ago cotton
seed was thrown away as absolutely
worthless. Today, products representing
an enormous total are made from this
once-despised cotton seed. Improved
processes of crushing and refining the oil
have resulted in a product equal to the
purest olive oil in nutritive value. From
it is produced a cooking fat (called Cot
tolene) which is claimed by physicians
to be purer and much more wholesome
than lard, and it is much more economi-
