Tailed Enalishmen.

Natives of southern Arabia believe
that Christians wear hats only to hide
their horns. Formerly the continent
of Europe clung to the conviction that
the Englishman's neither garments con-
cealed a tail. So late as the reign Of
Edward VI, according to Bale, ian
Englyshman cannot travayle in anoth-
er land by way of marchandyse or
any other honest occupyinge, but it Is
most contumeliously thrown into his
tethe that all Englyshmen have tails"
The belief probably arose from the
legend of the "Kentish Longtails.' y
The people of either Canterbury or
Strood for the legend varies, Knocked
at Beckett as he rode by on an ass
and cut off the ass tail. Wherefore
they and their descendants were cursed
with tails thenceforth. At least so
said testers OF other countries, and the
slander eventually reacted upon Eng

Cold as a Cure.

Cold of a certain intensity produces
not only hunger. but, as 1t has been
proved, health as we'll Raoul Pictet,
the famous Swiss chemist, was max
ing experiments on degree of cold
considerably lower than any which
occurs naturally, and he found that
at temperatures between 1lO and 100
below zero no covering of any kind
would keep cold out, or, more exactly,
would keep warmth in. There is moth
ing surprising about that The sur
prise is in the result. NJ. Pictet Is a
gentleman who has suffered greatly
from Indigestion. After an exposure
of several minutes to the cold which
he had produced he experienced a SEN

scribed as ravenous. When he had
eaten he experienced none of the tor
lures of his ailment. and when he had
alternately frozen and eaten three OF

Albert Minthorn TO Ukiah Where
Revival Services are Conducted

Cries for Him to Go On When He
Quits.

Rev. b. f. Harper the Sunday
school missionary of the presbytery

Albert J. Minthorn, superintendent of
the Tutuilla Indian Sunday school and
Parsons Motanic, conducted revival
services at Ukiah, Sunday
Mr.. Harper preached at the morn
ing service and Minthorn addressed
the Sunday school. At the evening
service the Sunday school missionary
was the leader while the two Indians
were the speakers. The principal
address was given by Parsons Motanic
and he made vigorous appeal for a
moral upright life.
Mr.. Harper reports that 1t was a
strong layman sermon after the
Rooseveltian style and that it seemed
to go home to the hearts and minds
of the people. A large crowd was
present for 1t happened to be a high"

whole crowd turned in" to hear the
Indians speak and sing.
In his usual straight from the

noted Indian athlete and wrestler told
how he used to play all his games
just at the time of church services
so as to keep people away, but now he
saw it all differently and saw how
wrong he had been. He therefore
urged all present to think of the
course they were pursuing lest they
mislead the children.
He had spoken in this vein until a
least $3.50 and had indicated that III
