THE CAMPHoR LANGUAGE.
Used In Johore Because Of Malay
Superstition.


Superstition.
In Johore, on the Malay peninsula,
there is employed one Of the strangest
languages in the world, used for q
most curious purpose This tongue is
called Pantang Kapor or ''camphor
language" and is medium employed
by natives and others engaged in gath
ering the product of the Malayan cam
phor tree, but only when they are at
work.
1t is a superstition Of these natives
that should they use the language of
the district, the Malay or the aboriginal
Jakun. they would be unable to obtain
their camphor.
The Malay natives firmly believe
that each species Of tree has spirit or
guardian angel that presides over its
affairs, this spirit being known by the
name of BiSan. This divinity's resting
place is near the trees. Then, too, the
spirit of the camphor tree is held to be
extremely Jealous Of the precious gum,
so that it becomes necessary to propi-
tate her. iEasmuch as she would.
should she learn that hunters were in
quest of 1t, endearor to interpose OBJ
stacles to their mission. Accordingly
the natives speak IN tongue that the
tree spirit may not understand. 1t was
for this purpose that the mysterious
'camphor language" was invented, and
it consists of an odd mixture Of Jakun
and Malay words that have been Gu
riously altered and reversed. -Harper's

DoDGED THE DUELS.
Voltairs's Disastrous Attempts to Make
De Rohan Fight.

Veltairs's Disastrous Attempts 10 Mak,
De Rohan Fight.
Literary men in dueling times and
countries have always been rather
prone to get into trouble from which
only passage at arms could extricate
them. VoItaire had at various turns a
number Of duels on his hands, but
counted among them two which did
not reach the expected climax.
One Of these was his affair with the
Chevalier de Rohan Chabot, who goad-
ed him to the point Of fighting and
then, instead Of giving him the salts
faction demanded, had him lured into
a coach and soundly whipped with
switches by some hirelings concealed
there.
Voltaire, after trying in vain to in
duce one Of his noble friends to back
him in his further pursuit of his en-
emy, appealed to the municipal author
tiles in these phrases: Il humbly rep
resent that l have been brutally. as
saulted by the courageous Chevalier
de Rohan, aided by six cutthroats,
behind whom he was bravely posted.
Ever since that time l have sought to
restore not my honor, but his, task
too difficult"
As this public affront failed to pro-
duce any effect, Voltaire hunted out
the chevalier one evening at the thea
ter and flung insults in his face there
Rohan at last consented to meet him,
but contrived to let the news reach
other members of the Rohan family,
who had Voltaire arrested and thrown
into the Bastille.-New York Post.

THE MASTER SUN.

Sirius. The Dog Star, May Be the Gen.
ter of Attraction.
| Astronomers once believed that the
entire starry universe revolved around
q center of attraction, and the star
named Alcyone, in the group of the
Pleiades. was selected by Maedler as
marking that great center.
1t has long been known. however,
that Maedler's conclusion, which was
based on the apparent motions of the
stars, was incorrect. and if any uni
versal center exists 1t has not yet been
discovered. In fact, many Of the stars
seem to be moving in straight lines,
some in one direction and some In an
other, and among these is our own
sun. But 1t is possible that further
observations will show that all the
stars are really moving in curved lines
In the meantime 1t has been found
that there are certain groups or sets
of stars which appear to travel togeth-
er. To what set, If any, the sun be-
longs we do not yet know, but De
launey has presented reasons for
thinking that those stars whose dis
tances have been measured (that is to
say, those which are nearest to us)
group themselves around Sirius. the
dog star, in a manner similar to that
In which the inner planets are group
ed around the sun.
II this be correct Sirius may posi-
bly, be the master sun Of which our
orb Of day is distant satellite

The obliging Old Lady Who Helped
the Struggling Boy.
When a kind old lady in walking
along a north side residence street be-
held small boy struggling vainly to
reach something between the gratings
Of tall iron fence surrounding a pa
latial residence she paused to watch
his operations The object of his quest
she discovered to be handsome me-
chanical toy, an automobile that would
run when wound up. The boy had a
stick with which he was trying to pull
the machine toward him, but as he
could scarcely reach it the struggle
was well nigh hopeless.
''Let me try it," said the old lady.
''My arm is longer than yours"
"All right" replied the youngster, re-
linquishing the stick.
Getting down on her knees, the old
lady, by dint Of much stretching and
careful manipulation, gradually work
ed the machine toward the fence and
at last had the satisfaction of seeing
the little boy grasp it with eager fin
gers.
"Now," she said, you must be more
careful and not let it get away from
you again."
Gee" said the boy, ''it never got
away from me, an 1t amt goin' to
neither"
'Wh-wh-why," faltered the old lady,
with the dawning Of horrible sus-
picion, isn't it yoursY \,
'You bet it's mine now," said the
kid, and away he scampered, leaving
the good old lady alone with her con-
science.--Atlanta Constitution.

Among the queer forms of animal
life that inhabit Death valley is a
mouse that has acquired such a taste
for scorpions that they form its en-
tire bill of fare. The scorpion carries
it's formidable armament in the end

the shape of an exceedingly venomous
hooked sting. When disturbed 1t ele-
Yates this in the air and goes in search
of its disturber. But 1t is compare

are proverbial for their quickness the
world over. The mouse learned many
generations ago where the scorpion
carries its weapon. and when be meets
it he leaps at the uplifted abdomen,
takes off the sting at a single bite and
proceeds to make meal Of his help
less prey. 1t is supposed to be the
only animal that relishes scorpions.

rough threads will be in the lead. The
spring worsteds are in the tiny stripes,
coming so close together that they are
practically gray.
For one who takes TO mountain
climbing, golf. motoring or any out
side exercise. the homespuns are the
best of all for wear. These, in the

variety is not lacking.
Speaking of fabrics it is said that
a womans character comes out in the
