It also is held that where the mean

In a town in Ohio a new jail was
needed and the citizens thought it
wiser to close the saloons and thus
cut off the supply of DRINKS that
filled the jail. The saloon keepers
formed a trust and told the city
fathers they would build their own
jail and take care of their own
DRINKS and keep them safely be-
hind the bars until they were sober
1t seems to me that this is a
kind of perpetual motion arrang-
ment for as soon as a man is sober
he can not drink again. This is a
good suggestion for Joplin to fol-
low.

Tea as a Panacea.

for tea In the Mercurius Politicus Of
Sept 80, 1868, appears marvellous

that excellent and by all physicians
approved China drink called tcha and
tay alias tee" And there is in the
British museum a broad sheet issued
by the founder of Garraway' in which
its particular virtues" are displayed
at length. Among many other things,
it ''helpeth the headache, removeth the
Instructions of the spleen, cleareth the
sight and purfieth adult humors and
hot liver. 1t prevents and cures
agues, surfeits and fevers, prevents con.
symptoms, is good for colds. dropsies
and scurvies and expelleth Infection"

growth of the town. Over a
score of years ago the firm
opened out with a dry goods box
full of an assorted paper stock
down on Front street, near How
ard, in dark and cramped quart
ers. But the right stuff was be-
hind the concern in the way of
pushing proprietors, and the
house moved and kept on NOV

The residents of Ellemeham
mountain do not hibernate dur
ing the winter, toasting their
shins before the fire awaiting
spring to again begin the round
of summer toll. They get out
among themselves, and make
merry innocently, and hasten the
chilly days with social inter
course and pleasant pastimes.
Among the various methods of
amusement is debating society
that meets regularly in the school
house, when the amateur Web
sters pound the air with oratory
and deft argument. And they
are earnest reaSOnerS, and make
good points, and entertain those
who are not endowed with the
gift of CAB, yet enjoy hearing
others discuss matters of mo-
mcnt. AT the last meeting of
the oratorical gladiatOrs the sub
ject threshed out was Has war

game of pro lucing de lt..l, tears

to draw upon to feed their mag

In the end it was voted that booze
held four aces and a club, and
the military side of the discus,
sion was routed horse, foot and
Dragons. If every school dis
trict in the county would follow
the example set by the Elleme-
hamites the residents thereof
would find the debating habit
both instructive and. a fountain
of joy.

DIVISIONS OF TIME.
The Planet Venus Has Neither Days,
Months Nor Years.

Though the fundamental division of
time, the day, appears intuitive to
most persons, it is well to remember
that in the arctic regions the marking
Of this division is by no means easy.
During several successive months the
sun Is either always below or always
above the horizon, and the only meth
od-a very uncertain one-of distin-
gushing between day and night Is to
observe the times Of high and low tide.
Division of time into months comes
from the motions of the moon. Ma
lays, Polynesans and Australian abo-
rhymes reckon time exclusively by
months and days.
That greater unit of time, the year,
characterized by the regular success
sion of the seasons, has presented the
greatest difficulties to exact determi-
nation, partly because the seasons are
not sharply distinguished in some re-
gions, partly because of the universal
desire to establish among the year,
month and day simple relations which

find no support in the facts OF astrono-
my.
Inhabitants of Venus, if there are
any, must find it extremely difficult
to establish units of time. Venus al
ways turns the same face toward the
sun, so the planet has no day, and the
lack OF a moon deprives it of month.
Finally, it has no year, for its axis of
rotation is perpendicular to the plane
of its orbit and the latter is almost
circular.-Chicago News.

THE PRICE OF PEPPER.
1t Helped to Change the History Of the
Old World,

In the sixteenth century all the pep
per consumed in England was bought
by the English merchants from the
Dutch, who brought 1t from India.
Owing to racial jealousy, the Dutch
traders in 1909 raised the cost from
shillings to 6 shillings per pound.
This petty display of i'll feeling caused
considerable annoyance to the English
merchants and aroused in them that
feeling of independence which has al
ways been so characteristic of our
race.
They determined to import their pep
per direct from India in their own
ships and for this purpose formed n
company, called the Governor and
Company of Merchants Of London
Trading to the East Indies, which
in latter days became eventually
known as the East India company.
Their first voyages embroied them
in almost innumerable quarrels with
the Dutch and Portuguese, and for Il
time the venture proved a financial
failure. 1t was not until 1915 that
the company became successful and
obtained lucrative treaties, owing to
their decisively defeating the Portu
gueSe.
From this time on their possessions
gradually increased, slowly at first
and then very rapidly, until, by the
wise and beneficial management of
such men as Give, Warren Hastings
and CORVALLIS, they exercised sover-
eighty over the greater portion of In
dia
In this manner it happened that an
increase in the price of pepper momen-
tously affected the history Of man
kind.-London Standard.
