JEANNE D'ARC's OLD SWORD
Museum at Dijon Said to Possess
Blade Given to Maid of Orleans
by King Charles VII.

Paris. - Biographers of Jeanne
dare, including Anatole France and
Andrew Lang, have never been able
to discover any authentic relics of the
Maid of Orleans. The executioner
threw her ashes into the Seine, and
the cottage at Domremy has not so
much as wooden shoe which can be
proved to have belonged to the Lib
orator of France. There Is, however,
in the museum at Dijon a sword kept
in the hall with the tombs of Philip
the Bold and Jean-sans-Peur, for which
the custodian, M. E. Metman, has doc.
uments proving that 1t once belonged
to Jeanne dare.
On one face Of the hilt is engraved
a figure Of the Maid in peasant cos.
tune kneeling before cross, with the
name Charles VII. On the other is the
word "Vaucouleurs." On both the
arms Of France and those of the City
of Orleans. The date, 1919, is found
III i've places on hilt and blade. This
date may indicate when the sword
was made, or 1t may be in commem-

de Bourgogne In the presence of the
Dauphin, the future Charles VII, on

M. Metman's manuscripts show that
the sword was manufactured at To-

sword-maker, Lupus Aguado, and that
it was specially made as a present to
the Maid from the king of France.

To LAUGH at Tuberculosis.

Much ignorance prevails among the
unfortunate victims of tuberculosis
and families of these unfortunates,
according to the Los Angeles Herald,
For such as these the words spoken
by Adolphus Knopf should be chiseled
in imperishable granite. Or, better
still, they should be published in ev-
cry public print, viz: ''There is no
such thing as hereditary tuberculosis.
The remedy is simple and all should
know 1t. It is one of the most easily
durable of all the chronic infectious
diseases. You can cure consumption
by the unstinted use Of GODS good
fresh air. twenty hours in twenty
four, plenty of good food and plenty
of good water, inside and out. You
all know that cleanliness is next to

BaffIinc the MOSQUITO,

Last summer we were pestered with
the awful nuisance, mosquitoes, night
after night, and on one occasion
killed between thirty and forty in our
bedroom, at midnight. The following
day I took wooden cloth, put little
kerosene oil on it, and rubbed both
sides of the wire mesh of the screens
with 1t. That night one lonely mos
quito disturbed our rest. Two or
three times each week rubbed the
screens in like manner, and we en-
joyed peace the rest of the summer.
The odor from the oil remains only a
few minutes, and the oil itself pre-
serves the screens and keeps away
flies.-Good Housekeeping Magazine
