Rock and Crook.

The rock appears to have become the
bird whose name stands for swindlerS
in a distinctly unfair way. At first
'rook" meant n dupe. then the verb
Ito rock" came TO mean to cheat. and
out Of this was evolved ''rook, q
cheater-a complete topsy turvy proc
ess- 1t is curious that the same thing
has not happened to gull" Here also
the verb came from the substantive
meaning dupe. and as the gull strikes
one as rather knowing bird one
might have expected the same evolu-
ton as in the case OF the rock. lt
should be observed. however. that
gull" q dupe, did not refer specially
to the sea gull. the word having for
merly meant a young bird of any kind.
In Elizabethan English IL signified a
callow youngster who wished to be
thought smart-London Chronicle.

the governor of New Jersey, win be
1.-THE scene tomorrow of the most rep
,resentative gathering of Democratic
leaders of national prominence that
has assembled since the Baltimore
convention. The occasion will be the
official notification Of Woodrow Will
son of his nomination for President of
the United States. The notification
committee will consist of fifty-two
members, representing all of the
states and territories, with Ollie
James of Kentucky, permanent chair
man of the Baltimore convention, at
the head
Mr.. James will deliver the notifica.
ton speech and Governor Wilson will
respond with his formal speech of
acceptance, standing on a little knoll
in his yard beneath group of elms,
with his visitors grouped about him
on the lawn. If the weather is stormy
the speech-making part Of the pro.
gram will take place indoors or on
the spacious veranda of the house.
Much public interest naturally cen.
tiers in Governor Wilson's speech
since 1t will be his first public com
ment on the Democratic platform as
an entirety. While he has declined to
forecast his speech, it is known that
the tariff will be dealt with as the
leading issue. In close relation to this
Governor Wilson is expected to place
the high cost Of living, which he is
said to regard as but a development
of the present tariff system.
After the Governors speech there
will be handshaking all around and
then the company will be entertained
at buffet luncheon. During all this
time and while the guests linger it il
naturally to be expected that lot OF
politics will be talked and as likely
as not many plans will be laid fol-
work in various states, where the
situation is acute.

the result of placing the body in hot
dry sand it frequently happened that,

an indefinite time. The burial of vaiu-
naturally led to grave robbing, which
was already common in the earliest

This plundering Of graves must have
taught the people at large that the
forces Of nature were often sufficient
to preserve a dead body. In this way
1t became a part of the religion Of the
Egyptians to regard the preservation
Of the body as the condition Of the
attainment Of immortality.

LOOKING WELL IN SUMMER.
Keep the Hair Neat and the Face
Hysienically Clean.

Hysienicaliy Clean.
One of the duties in summer Is to
look cool. and no woman can look cool
if her face is aflame. her brow sticky
and her nose peeling. Rosewater and
glycerin and bit of chamois and
powder carried in the hand bag quick
ly remove shine.
Neat hair is a harder problem. The
woman whose locks are fat and
sticky in hot weather is to be pitied.
She need not be a sight If she makes
the best of the inevitable. Discard
useless curling irons and adopt anoth-
err style of hairdressing. Wash the
hair once a week to keep it free from
oil. brush hard to further check oil
and use a net to prevent struggling

One will feel much better by taking

taken without fear of prostration. Eat
sparingly of nourishing foods and do
not live on iced drinks and sweets.
Excessive perspiration is a sign Of

by the use of talcum powder and

Water For Nervousness.

"1f people would only drink more
water they would not be so nervous"
say physicians and trained nurses.
Nearly all doctors will recommend
one who is suffering from nervous
prostration or nervous exhaustion to
drink lots of water between meals.
Those who need not come under the
care Of a physician would look and
feel better If they would drink at lea st
a quart of water during the day.
Those who know say that water is
a nerve food and that it has dis
tinctly soothing effect when slipped
gradually. Water drunk slowly and
gradually has somewhat the same
quality as deep eathing.

One Room School
Houses in Illinois

Labelling country school houses so that
every citizen may know whether his
school is up to the standard is the device
of the Illinois state school authorities,
according to information received at the
United States Bureau of Education.
The schools are inspected as to grounds,
building, furnishing, heating, ventila-
ton, library, water supply sanitation and
qualifications of the teacher. If the es-
sentals of good school are found pre-
sent diploma is granted the district and
a plate is placed above the door OF the
school house designating it as 'Stan-
dard School. - Upon fulfillment of certain
further requirements higher diploma
will be issued and the plate will read
"Superior School,
Already 657 of the 1882 oneroom
school houses in lllinoise have earned the
right to be called standard schools and to
display the plate accordingly.
This interesting device is part of a
vigorous campaign waged by the state
of Illinois in behalf of rural schools. Two
experts on rural education, U. j. Hoffman
and W. S. Booth, under the direction of
Hon. +. G. Blair, State Superintendent
of Public Instruction, are devoting their
entire time to the country and village
schools.
Illinois does not merely ask that the
schools he brought up to standard; the
state tells how it can be done. In bul
letin sent to every teacher in the state
the requirements for standard schoo
are set forth. Among the specifications
are: An ample playground; good ap
proaches to the school; convenient fue
houses; the building, sound, in good re
pair, and painted; improved heating ar
rangements-a jacketed stove in the cor
ner of the room instead of an unprotected
stove in the center; floor and interio
