4 oREAr COUNTRY.

An Irishman named Pat Sulli-
van, hearing stories to the effect
that people in America were mind
readers; that money could be
found on the streets, ETC., decided
to come to this country. Shortly
after his arrival in New York, he
picked up a purse containing $3.50
Said Pat, pocketing the purse,
"O'im beginning to behave what
Oh heard" On boarding a car he
heard the conductor begin to call
off names, and noticed that at
each call some one arose and left
the car. "Lewisl" called the con-
ductor and a man got off. "Eliz-

van thought this something won
derful. "Thompson!" called the
conductor and another man got
off. Pat was about to ask the
conductor how he managed to do
this, when the conductor called
Sullivan. Pat bounded out of his
seat saying to the conductor"O Ohm
Sullivan" and got off the car.
"Well I wonder phwat next" said
Pat to himself, standing on the
corner. He had not long to wait,
however, for in a few minutes a
lady approached him and asked,
"Is this Sullivan" Eyes, mad

Rats With Peculiar Stripe the Result
Of Their Being Uttered In
Penitentlary.

Parental influence has been the
study Of scientists for ages, and many
wonderful results have been record
ed, but the most remarkable case
known has come to light in this city.
White rats striped with brown have
been bred at the penitentiary here by
Newton Trusty, a convict, and the
association Of the rats with convicts
wearing striped colors. the body of
the clothes being white and the stripes
brown, Is believed to account for
these freak rats.
Trusty was sent to the penitentiary
years ago for murder, and was to have
served a life sentence. Hope of Sc
curing parole or pardon caused him
to study out some method Of making
money while in the prison, and he de-
cided to breed white rats and sell
them. He had been conducting the rat
breeding farm within the prison walls
for years before the first white rat
striped with brown made its appear

Leading Christian Endeavorers were among

Esperanto. For years the Christian Endeavor
World published regular Esperanto depart

An extensive Esperanto exposition was pro-

tion held at Lincoln last October. This con-
vention, attended by more than 1000 dele
gates. was one Of the greatest state conven-
tons held in the history of the Christian En-
deavor. There were exhibited here a number
of letters from prominent people, one of the
most interesting being statement from Helen
Keller, the only deaf-blind person with a col
lege education. saying that she is interested
in Esperanto and has some books about It.
Shortly before the convention, two three
periodicals in Europe published an announce

RHEUMATISM
A DISEASE OF
THE BLOOD
The Treatment Which Is Most
Successful Is Directed To-
ward Building Up and
Purifying the Vital
EIrrid

That rheumatism is a disease of the
blood is shown by the fact that it Ia
hereditary in certain families, and that
there is marked thinning of the blood
Immediately following its attack.
In the following brief statement are
described symptoms which every patient
will recognize and the means by which
a cure was effected in this case is des-
cribed with equal fidelity.
If you are suffering from any form Of
rheumatism with loss of flesh and
strength, and thinning of the blood, the
remedy that was so effective here de-
serves thorough trial.
"About fifteen years ago." says Mrs.
Rhoda Petit, of Louisville, Neb., latter

in a run-down condition from overwork,
/ began to suffer from infammatory
rheumatism. Both my father and
mother were sufferers from the same
disease. My right side was afflicted and

cords of the limb seemed to be drawn up.
Often the pains would shift from one
part of the body to another and, while
they were worse in my right limb, they

Convenience In Common Use Today
Evidently Was Unknown Some
Centuries Ago.

In the excavations at Pompeii and
Herculaneum no discovery appears to
have been made Of anything approach
Ing the nature of the modern chimney.
The earliest mention Of the chimney
seems to be in an ancient Venetian
inscription over doorway, where it is
written that in 1347 certain chimneys
In that location were demolished by
earthquakes. 1t is by conjecture only
that we are able to say that the chin
ney was known in ancient Italy. Sene-
ca, who lived during the first CEN
fury of our era, invented species of
tube which he affixed to the length
Of the wall. and 1t seems to have run
through floors.
Through this the heat passed from
subterranean ovens called "hypo-
causts." Of which remains were found
In buried cellars of houses built on
the Bay Of Naples.
But in this there is no evidence of
any chimney in the modern sense or
even of any kind OF stove Before the
invention Of the chimney fires were

beneath the floor of habitations In
about the center Of the room, as the
Eskimos do today.
The hearth of the ancient Romans
was in the porch, but the fires lighted
there were not designed to make
houses habitable, seemingly, but were
merely an indication of hospitality to
friends
The houses, when occasion called
for heat, were furnished with firing
pan and bellows carried from room to
room by slaves. This was in more or
less constant operation day and night
In very cold weather. In the early
centuries of the Middle Aages there
seems to have been an attempt made
to perfect the very elementary fash
ion of housewarming.

tions at Gillingham, Dorset, England.
This discovery was made about 10 IT.
below the present surface, and con-
sisted of traces Of the bed Of an an
cient lake or river. Several stout
pieces of oak had been driven into the
bed, and some large bones OF deer,
the skull and antlers Of red deer,
the jawbone and teeth Of a large
herbivorous animal. and large num-
Der Of worked fiints were found. The
site, which was discovered during ex-
cavations for the grammar school
swimming baths, is thought to be OF
much greater antiquity than the IA
nous Lacustrine village Of Glaston-
bury. 1t was situated under an alluvi-
um Of blue clay.
