GREAT NAMES HAVE GONE
Long List of Men of Genius Whose
Line Is No Longer Represented
on the Earth.

When one considers how many fam
flies there are which trace their an
cestry in a direct line for many gen
erations, it is rather surprising fact
that there is not a single living de
scendant in the male line of some OF
the greatest men the world has ever
produced.
For the preservation of our illusions
regarding genius, it probably is faI
better that there should be no disap
pointing ordinary persons left in the
world to represent the men whom we
delight to honor.
To find a Milton engaged in the in
surance business, or a Byron on the
stock exchange would jar dreadfully
on ones sense of the fitness of things
The following is list of some OF
the illustrious men whose line neveI
will be represented on the eartE
again as long as the world stands:
Chaucer, Shakespeare, Spencer, Mil
ton, Cowley, Butler, Dryden, Pope
Cowper, Goldsmith, Byron, Moore, Sill
Philip Sidney, Sir Walter Raleigh
Drake, Cromwell, Hampden, Monk
Peterborough, Nelson, Bolingbroke
Walpole, Chatham, Pitt, Fox, Burke
Washington, Canning, Bacon, Locke
Newton, Davy, Hume, Gibbon, Mac
auley, Hogarth, Sir Joshua Reynolds
Sir Thomas Lawrence, David Garrick
John Kemble, Edmund Kean.

DEATH FROM ELECTRIC SHOCK
Cessation of Life Is Due to Contrac
ton of the Fibris or Muscular
Fibers of the Heart.

While every one knows that an cleo
trio shock, if powerful enough, will
ause death, there are very few who
know exactly the cause, and from
description given in a recent English
magazine, quoting an authority on the
subject, the whole matter is simple.
Death produced from electric shock
says this magazine, usually is the re-
suit of contraction of the fibrils OIL
muscular fibers Of the heart, or OF
paralysis of the respiratory organs.
While doctors have been unable tG
find any treatment that will cure the
former, artificial respiration Otter
overcomes the respiratory paralysis.
The effects of direct and alternating
currents vary with the current
strength, the duration of contact and,
the path through the body; and With
alternating currents low frequency
usually Is more dangerous than high
The lower animals are more suscep
tible to electric shock than man, dogs
often being killed by direct current
of 70 volts. In the average man a di
rect current of 100 volts is scarcely
felt, 200 or 800 volts give rise to mus
cular cramps, while $40 volts will stop
respiration suddenly.

TELLS HOW TO LIVE CHEAP
Prof. BIackmar of Kansas University
Gives Seven Ways to Reduce Llv-
ing Cost.

Seven ways to reduce the cost OF
living have been discovered by Dean
Frank w. Blackmar Of the University
Of Kansas, says Moody's Magazine.
They are:
Let the government check the de-
cline in the purchasing power of gold
by taking, automatically, seignorage
of the bullion that is behind the dol
lar, thus leaving the value of the dol
lar stable and allowing it's weight to
vary with the rise and fall of average
prices.
Induce moro people to engage in the
production of raw material. Intro
duce scientific intensive agriculture In
order to double production per acre.
Revise the tariff by scientific treat
ment,
, Prevent as far as possible organiza'
lions from advancing prices arbitrari-
ly, placing a maximum limit upon
prices If necessary. Introduce simp-
Ter and less expensive methods Of
bringing the commodity to the con-
sumer. Educate people in the princi-
pies and habits of true economy, thus
doing away with extravaganza and
waste.

HE RECOGNIZED THE NAME
Not Only That, But He Could Give
the Correct Expression That
EngIlshman Made.

A certain London clergyman VINO
had been travelling in Greece found
himself compelled to stay the night
at monastery on Mount Athos. The
welcome was warm, but the FOOD
execrable, in particular the soup
which the guest could hardly force
himself to swallow.
Being a classical scholar, his knoWl-
edge of ancient Greek helped him to
some understanding Of the MONKS
who spoke the widely-different mod
ern tongue, and he was astonished to
hear that the unpalatable soup was
an English dish.
English" cried one of the monks,
adding that an English sailor had
been there not long before and recog'
nized 1t.
"What did he call it?" asked the
clergyman.
The monk had to think for mo-
ment before he could recollect the
strange English name Of that soup.
All! he had it. 1t was "bees'ly
muck!'-Stray Stories.

NEW WAY OF CURING COLDS
Germs Are Now Being Injected Into
Persons Suffering From This Com
mon AiIment.

Hypodermic injections are becoming
quite popular as means of admins
tering cures for various ailments. In
the larger cities of the United States
vaccine treatment for colds is now be-
ing administered to those frequently
suffering from the ailment by physi-
clans, the preparation requisite for
the purpose being put up in tiny glass
Walls. Each vial holds single dose
to be injected hypodermically.
The treatment in question Is given
in cases where the patient shows a
tendency to recurrent attacks. Such
attacks are not only annoying, but
may even be dangerous, by reason OF
other troubles to which they are liza
BILE to lead.
Common "coryza," or "cold in the
head" with it's various complications,
probably costs the people of the Unit
ed States more, in suffering and
money loss, than diphtheria and pneu-
monia combined.
In vaccinating for colds the physi-
clan employs a preparation of the
germs by which the trouble is
caused. These germs are propagated
by billions in beef broth, and then
killed by heating the fluid to boxing
point.
Being dead, they can do no harm,
but they contain the specific poison
of the disease, which, when intro
duced into the circulation by the n.y.
podermic syringe, starts the cells OF
the body to making an anti-poison
deadly to living germs Of that particu-
lar malady.
Thus an immunity to the latter is
producer-the principle involved being
the same as that which renders vac
cination for typhoid fever q proven
tive of that cmplaint.

rlonterey, Va. Friday, June 9, 'eI,,

The closing of school term is a
COOL time for boy to grow
thoughtful and take sort OF in
ventory. Every mothers son has
won "promotion" along some line.
and he is conscious of it. lie NAY
not be "advanced," but if he has
been studious, and tried, he do
serves credit. One now and then
may be dull and backward, but if
he has been orderly, and respectful
to his teachers, he is a winner, and
on the hopeful side.
On the other hand, boys have a
chance to "distinguish" them
selves, and they can tell pretty
we'll what success they have made
during the term, though it may not
be announced from the rostrum.
Some realize that they have
made enemies rather than friends,
have been ver-bearing and posed
as "bullies. "
And profanity: Have any PRO
crossed" along this line? They
know. And, by-the-way, a boy
who is most proficient as a swearer
is not often in the graduating class.
Such distinction doesn't carry with
it any honor, because, no matter
how "fuently" one may swear, al
most any little street urchin or ne
gro boot-black can beat it, hence
he cannot hope to excel, and the
ambition to excel is a worthy
Characteristic of thoughtful boy
hood. A boy who wins distinction
as a swearer would not care to have
it publicly announced on COM
mencement night. There would be
no applause. His friends and
schoolmates would be sorry for
him; the devil might grin, but there
would be no smile on mothers
face.
Swearing is enc of the most In
excusable, useless, disgusting hab-
its one can acquire. and every
school-boy who may have become
addicted thereto, ought to resolve
never to stand for a second promo
ton.

TRULY A VALUABLE HOUND
Visitor From Costa RIGA Tells Story
Which Some People Might Find
1t Hard to Believe.
At last the existence Of the banan,

At last the existence of the banana
hound has been shown to be a fact!
A man who just arrived in this
country from Port Limon, Costa RIGA,
not only knows all about the banana
hound, but has drove of them him
self. The gentleman is Hezekiah
Spottiswood, and for many years the
owner of banana plantation in Costa
Rica.
''Is the banana hound new discoV-
cry up here?" he asked in surprise.
MY word, how singular! Why, we al
ways have them. They are very es-
sential adjunct to a banana planta-
ton; indispensable almost, I should
say. What is the breed? They are
a cross between a pointer and a South
American tapir.
tits a very necessary thing to know
when to pick the bananas from the
trees, you know. When they have at
tanned a certain shade of green, then
is the time. Now it's very difficult to
have a man so thoroughly up in color
that he can determine this matter.
That is where the banana hound
comes in. He trots the groves with
a. man behind him, and scents the
punches which should be picked. He
stands in front Of the tree and gives
a long moan, which sounds familiar to
the siren at Sandy Hook. Then he
points to particular bunch with his
tail.
1.-THE scent Of the hound is unerring.
It has never been known to fail.

'I once had occasion to rebuke

"At any rate, he silenced me very

fully to my rebuke:
