HOW TERM "MUG" ORIGINATED

When you call for draught of ale

often as not in toby, jug modelled.

the eighteenth century and the early

nowadays the likenesses of our ma

paris and sold in the shops.
So it is that we find Wellington and
Drake, General Howe and Lord Mel

greater glory of their deeds. 1t has
even been asserted that here originat-

colloquial designation of the face.
From the collectors viewpoint there
are two classes of toby, the portrait

comic. The portraits may be of his

ideal characters such as John Bull or
mythical characters such as Punch or
characters from fiction such as Fal-

SPARE THE TIME TO LAUGH
Even In Depressing Circumstances Il
Is Mans Duty to Strive to Be
Cheerful.

II Is the duty Of mankind, even in
depressing circumstances. to strive
TO be cheerful 1t is the general be-
lief that il a man is not naturally
light-hearted. he cannot make him
self so.
Yet this is far from being the case.
and there is many man who is at
present a weary burden to his rela-
tiYes, miserable through the carklng
care OF some bodily ailment perhaps,
or some worldly misfortune, who, II
he had grown up with the idea that TO
be cheerful in all circumstances was
one OF the first duties OF life, might
still see a pleasant enough world
round him.
The worries OF a morose person will
shorten his days, and the general JUS
tice OF natures arrangements pro-
vides that his early departure should
entail no long regrets.
On the other band. the man who
can laugh keeps his health. To the,
perfectly healthy laughter comes Of
ten. Too commonly. though, as child
hood is left behind, the habit fails, and
a half smile is the most that visits the
thought-lined mouth of a modern man
or woman. People become more and
more burdened with the accumulation
OF knowledge and with the weighty re-
sponsibilities of life, but they should
still spare time to laugh.

IS LATEST MAN ON EARTH
sea-Faring Man Discovers Him In
Person Of Chief of the Solomon
Islands.

In all probability the LATEST man on
earth has been discovered by sea-
faring men who had occasion to stop
at the Solomon Islands of the East
Indies not long ago Those islands are
inhabited by tribes of black men
known to the sailors as Kanakas.
The ruler over the islands of Chois-
enc and Caristoval is one of these
Kanakas, known as Chief Sonoa. The
Kanakas are almost invariably short
and very heavily built, but Chief Sonoa
is the shortest and latest one OF the
bunch weighing in the nelghborhood
of 365 pounds. He is not only the
blackest, fattest and LATEST, but he
has more wives than any other chief
in that neighborhood.
One of the sailors who visited these
islands said that "his majesty would
lie in the sands of the beach while his
favorite wife would sit beside him and
smoke. She would draw a mouth full
of the smoke into her lungs. The chief
would open his mouth, the favorite
would blow the smoke into it and he
would inhale 1t into his lungs, after
which he would let it pass out his
nose. Time after time would the wife
chosen for this job blow the smoke
into her chiefs mouth, and time after
time he would take it into his lungs to
let it pass out Of his nose The to
bacco used was the strongest that
could be had, and with it was rolled
some kind of leaf that would bring on
sleep. A truly luxurious being is this
dusky king

course in highway chemistry that has
ever been offered in any college In
the world, Professor John Fulton of
the chemistry department has taken
this step as result OF the increased
demand for good roads. The course
includes both physical and chemical
tests OF tars. bituminous products, as
phalts and all mixtures such as sands,
gravels, rocks and other ingredients of
the modern highway. Concrete testing
and tests Of the chemical changes in
all these substances by exposure and
weather will form an important part
OF the work, as we'll as the chemical

that he and friend made a bet as to
which of them would draw a head

bet easily won by Michael Angelo,
for he traced perfect profile. where

There is little being said about the
real issues that will ultimately divide
the voters at the general election next
November. The political parties are
addressing themselves to the task of
selecting candidates and the great
economic questions Of government are
being obscured Perhaps this condi-
ton will continue in measure until
after the national conventions and
candidates are in the field, then the
real campaign will open The tariff
will doubtless be the dominant issue
and the issue upon which the election
will turn. On account of the unful-

boastfully during the last campaign

tariff the republicans will have diff.
