The Rod Well Applied.

John Wesley's mother believed in
birching children at the earliest posi-
BILE age. Each one of her family was
compelled to celebrate his fifth BIRTH
day by learning the alphabet by heart.
In order that this task might be &C.
complished Mrs. Wesley, after issuing
strict orders that no one should dis
turb her, shut herself up for six hours
with the child and drove the letters
into his brain with the aid of a rod.
Madam Quinet, a French contemporary
of Mrs. Wesley, was an equally firm
believer in the virtues of corporal pun
ishment, but was not stuff GENTLY
strong to administer what she consid-
cred a satisfactory flogging. She
therefore engaged a constable to call
twice week and fog her three chill
dren. If by chance thye had not been
naughty then the punishment was re-
ferred to the account of future trans.
gressions.

History Of la Grippe"

Grip was first discovered in Eng
land in 1173, since when there have
been more than one hundred epidem-
les. 1t first appeared In the United
States in 1927 and went all over the
western hemisphere. The last epidemic
started in Bokhara in May, 1889. and
reached the United States in the mid
die of December. Its rate of spread is
exactly as rapid as travel. Since 1889
there have been grip epidemics in
most American cities every winter
Just as there are many mild cases Of
~cholerine" during deadly epidemics Of
cholera, so there are many cases Of
bad colds in the head, or grip" false

Fish as Food for londoners,


The port of London's proposed duty
on fish and fruit reminds us that fish
at least has always been an important
constituent of the food supply of the
metropolis, and in early times the
Thames itself yielded an enormous
supply. Westminster abbey formerly
claimed a 1.-THE of the Thames fish
cries from Gravesend to Staines, and
a lawsuit was successfully maintained
against the rector of Rotherhithe in
1882 on the ground that st. Peter had
in vision granted the first haul of SAL
mon in the Thames to Edric the Sax
on on condition that a 1.-THE of fish
was annually paid to the abbey. And
once a year for centuries one Of tho
fishermen as representative of Edric
took his place beside the prior, and
brought in salmon for st. Peter,
which was carried in state through
the refectory.

Authoress at Work,

An amusing confession was made
some time ago by the Baroness Won
Hutten the authoress of PAM who
is appearing as Aunt Imogen in
"Pinkie and the Fairies" at His Ma
jesty's. The baroness does most OF
her writing at her home in Germany,
a stronghold with the romantic name
of Schloss Steinbach, and thinks moth
ing of working eight or ten hours
without break After really hard
days work. she said, Il am almost
unacceptable, for l always succeed
In some unaccountable way in cover
ing myself with ink. My appearance
on these occasions is standing joke,
and my children have nicknamed me
Mrs. Jellyby" The baroness has al
ways been devoted to music. She has
studied under the best masters In
Florence, and finds great enjoyment
In singing Italian opera.-Tit-Bits.

Cause of Keel Water"

The track OF smooth water, or
keel water" stretching in the wake
of a moving vessel is often noticed, but
little understood. The effect is not
due to the influence of oil on surface
tension, though the shilling of the
waves may be similar. Prof. Ash
horn, German Investigator, has made
some experiments with bodies moving
on the water, and these show that the
gyroscopic action Of the. eddies or
whfrls left behind on each side of the
vessel smooth out the smaller waves
and give the calm. disappearing track
that is so familiar, The larger and
swtfter the ship the longer and broad.

Bridesmaids.

bridesmaids are due to brides rec
osnized need to have about them
something old, something new, some
thing borrowed, something blue. For
where bridesmaids are at all old it
makes them blue to see another girl
married, and thus they can be made
to serve double purpose.
Three times bridesmaid, never a
bride. Is an old saying, but there's not
much to 1t. Like thrice armed is he
who hath his quarrel just" it Is true
in theory, but not In business. II girl
means business, in other words. it
makes very little difference how many
times she has been bridesmaid.

Other Comets Besides Halley's.

Halley's comet will not enjoy soil
tary glory. At least two other comets
are due to cross the path Of the earth
this year. The first is known as the
Temples second periodical comet, dis
covered in 1873, July 3, at Milan. Its
period is about 51z years, and it was
reobserved in 1873, 1894, 1899 and
1904, making it's perihelion passage on
the last occasion in November. It
should therefore return this coming
spring.
D'Arrest's comet, discovered in 1851,
is the second comet, and is due to re-
turn during the summer of this year.
Its period is about sixty-one to sixty
two years, and it was reobserved at
it's return in 1857, 1870, 1890 and
1897. But it escaped observation, be-
ing unfavorably placed in 1902.

LIQUID CURES ECZEMA
WHERE SALVES FAIL

- In regard to skin diseases, medl.
cal authorities are now agreed on
this:
Don't imprison the disease germs
in your skin by the use of greasy
salves and thus encourage them to
multiply A true cure of all eczema.
tous diseases can be brought about
only by using the healing agents In
the form Of a liquid.
WASH THE GERMS OUT.
A simple wash: A compound Of Oil
of Wintergreen, Thymol and other in
gradients as combined in the D. D. d.
Prescription. This penetrates to the
diseased germs and destroys them,
then soothes and heals the skin as
nothing else has ever done.
A 25 cent trial bottle will start the
cure and give you instant relief.

SAL SKINS scARcE
Coat so Inches Long VIII Cost At
Least 1920 This Year

The man who plans to give his
wife. his daughter or some other
mans daughter, a seal skin coat for
a Christmas remembrance this year
will have to pay more for it than
ever before, according to furriers and
jobbers Of st. Paul, the largest mar
ket fer fur goods in the United
States. if not in the world.
The woman who misses getting a
sealskin coat probably the most pri-
zed Of all garments worn by their
sex, because of this added cost, can
blame it on Uncle Sam and his men,
bers of Congress. BY a recent act Of
Congress it was made unlawful 10
kill seals after May ! and this law
has about put th1 sea skin line of
trade out OF business. This act has
made sealskins so scarce that coat
say so inches long win cost $1,000 this
year.
The st. Paul manufacturer, how
ever, has found ready sale for all he
could make and the factories have
been kept busy supplying the demand
Bisam seals have been used much this
year in place OF the genuine fur.
These are made of muskrat fur which
is very fine and is guaranteed to keep
any lady as warm as the real thing.
Near and electric seals have also
been made into many coats. The
Russian pony and caracul skins are
next in demand. In small furs the
mink holds its popularity.
Despite the higher cost the st. Paul
fur jobbers have enjoyed the largest
business of their history this year
Representatives of st. Paul fur hous-
es are now in all parts of the world
to purchase supplies for next years
use. The St. Paul houses buy in win
ter and manufacture in summer be-
cause the fur producing animal is
trapped at the season when nature
has given him the heaviest coat and
at the time when the coat will be
most serviceable to mankind. These
expert buyers are in the orient to buy

tralia after the possum and wombat
hides; in Russia and Persia compel
