Tho Order of the Bath.

The last knights Of the Bath made
according to the ancient forms were at
the coronation OF Charles H., when
various rites and ceremonies, one Of
which was bathing, were enforced.
According to Froissart, the court
barber prepared a bath, and the can
didate for membership in the"order.
having been undresssd by his esquires,
was %thereupon placed in the bath, his
clothes and collars being the perqui-
sites Of the barber. He wat then re-
moved from the water to the words
MAY this be an honorable bath to
your and was placed in a plain bed
quite wet and naked to dry. As soon
as he was quite dry he was removed
from the bed, dressed in new and rich
apparel and conducted by his sponsors
to the chapel, where he offered a taper
to the honor Of God and a penny piece
to the honor "of the king. Then he
went to the monarch and, kneeaing
before him. received from the royal
sword a tap on the shoulder, the king
exclaiming. arise, Sir -" and then
embraced him, saying. BE thou a good
knight, and tfue."-London Strand

Enqland's Patron Saint.

The story Of England's patron saint
is surrounded by a mixture of truth
and fable which de6es definite sitting.
he is generally believed to have been
born at Lydia, but brought up in Cap
padocia. and suffered martyrdom in
the reign Of Dioclctian. A. D. 3O3. The
legend of his conflict with the dragon
may have arisen from a symbolical or
a%llegoricai representation of his con-
test with the pagan prosecutors. When
our crusaders went to the east in 1896
they found St. George elevated to the
rank Of warrior saint. with the title
Of the "victOrious." and as they be-
lieved that they were indebted to him
for aid in the siege Of Antioch they
adopted him as the patron Of soldiers.
Edward Ill. was thus led to make him
patron of the Order of the Garter, and
90 gradually st. George became the tu-
telary saint Of DISQUALIFICATION Mail.

Bursting Balloons.

The greatest danger Of a high ascent
in a balloon is concerned. with the
changing density Of the atmosphere.
On the ground the atmosphere presses
on the balloon with a weight of about
fifteen pounds for every square inch
Of its surface. As the balloon rises,
however, the air grows thinner and
its pressure becomes in consequence
less and less. AS the pressure of the
outside atmosphere decreases the ball
loon expands and If the ascension is
made too rapidly or without, sufficient
care the gas inside the silk envelope
will expand until the balloon bursts.
But the bursting of a balloon in mid
air Is by no means necessarily a fatal
catastrophe. Every balloon is provid-
ed with a ripping cord" which, when
pulled, cuts a long rent in the envelope
out Of which the gas speedily escapes.
The silk bag is then carried by the air
into the upper portion Of the netting,
where in the majority Of cases it
forms a parachute and brings every
thing safely to earth.

Left Handed vituperatives.

: ...- LOU IVAUoVo VUSOPov OSsvoOs E;.g.
Most counties in England have their
idiomatic expressions to denote left
handedness, and they r often pre-
fixed to the unfortunate left handed
child's name. In London the term is
hack handed, the word being also
equivalent to awkward. In Lanca-
shire it: is k-pawed, in Yorkshire gal
lock. or .gawk handed, an expression
dating back to at least the seventeenth
century. In Derbyshire are used the
terms key handed, cork handed and
corky handed, while in the Teesdale
district cuddy handed is common and
in Nottinghamshire wallet handed.
In the south Of England special
terms to denote left handedness are
also found. In Dorset it is scrame
handed and in Devonshire coochy
handed. In Scotland we find gawk
handed and in the west cawry handed.
In Ireland a left handed man is called
a kithogue. Tim Healy used this word
IN a speech at East Wicklow, in which
he said that Mr. O'Kelly could fight
with his left hand and had already
given his opponent some catalogues"
that would spoil his political beauty
during the contest.-London Chronicle.

Tho Monkey and the Pie.

An Indian faker had a monkey that
he had brought up from babyhood,
says an English writer. The pair were
fast friends, the monkey being a faith
full attendant on his master and as
good as a watchdog. One day the
faker made a pie for dinner and left
It to cook on a charcoal fire while he
went for a walk. As the cooking pro-
ceeded the savory smell was too much
for the monkey. It raised the crust
and tasted the chicken. Finding the
food very tasty, 1t ate more and more
until nothing but the crust remained.
Then it remembered its master, who
would shortly return hungry and ready
to enjoy his meal. What was to be
done? The sharp eyes Of the monkey
detected some crows not far away, so
without loss of time it lay down on
the ground. as If dead. BY and by a
crow came along and pecked at. the
monkey, which seized the bird in a
twinkling, strangled it, stripped off the
feathers, placed it in pieces in the
dish, covered it over with the crust
and then contentedly awaited the re-
turn Of the faker, to whom the whole
incident was related, by an eyewitness.

WARN JAPS OF WESTERN FOES
 "A

TOKYO, Japan.-Discussing the m ternational situation in the columns of the Yomiuri, Count Okuma points out that there are two important things (, be noted by the Japanese people. One is that the Western nations are casting an envious eye upon the un- preccdentedly rapid strides made by Japan in arms and civilization. The other is that Europeans are entertain ing fears that Japan may one day join hands with China, and are there fore doing their best to keep the two countries seperated.
 Another noteworthy feature is that England as Japan's ally, is now re- gardcd by the Western nations as q traitor to the white race, in that she assists Japan in every respect. Tho an. Japanese movement on the Pa cific slope and the recent announce mcnt made by the Kaiser in regard to German naval policy are all the out come of antagonistic sentiments against England and Japan.
 
 As to the anxiety in regard to a future combination between China ani Japan, signs are not wanting that some powers are even now using thci influence in China to sever the rcla- tons between the two nations"

First l tied his hands to the crib to keep him from scratching, but when it got so bad 1 tied him in a shawl or he would scratch himself all bloody. When he was seven months old we tried Q set of the Cuticura Remedies. The first application of Cuticura let him sleep and rest well, in one week the sores were gone but it stayed red and sometimes it would itch so we used Cuticura for two months, then he had a clear and white face. Now he IS two years and seven months old and has never had eczema again. l hope this letter will help some who are suffer ing from skin disease.
