Pepper In Olden Times.

During the middle ages in Ell; rope pepper was the most estccnled and important of all the spices. Genoa, Venice and other conner cial cities of central Europe were in dcbtcd to their traffic in pepper for q large part of their wealth. Its importance as a means of promoting commercial activity and civilization during the middle ages can hardly be overratcd. Tribute was levied in pepper. and donations were made in this spice. which was frequently also used as medium of exchange in place of money. When the impc- rial city of Rome was bcsicgcd by Alaric. the king of the Goths. in 4OS X. D.. the ransom demanded in cludcd 5000 pounds of gold. 3o,000 pounds of silver and 5000 pounds of pepper.

"The Ring of the Nibelungen'' was first produced in London under the special patronage of King Ed ward VII. when he was Prince of Wales. He Loyalty remained in his box from beginning to end, al- though he confessed aftcrward that it was the hardest work he ever did. When Wotan came on thc darkcned stage to an accompaniment of dis cords the prince took doze and an hour later was awakened by dou- ble forte crash of the large orches- tra. He fell asleep again. but in fifteen minutes was startled by an- other tremendous crash and found Wotan still singing against time. After the performance the prince told the manager in great confi- dcnce that if there was a Wotan' in other Wagner operas he would with draw his patronage.

.GRoTEsoyE CUSTOMS.
Sit Nosss, Tattsosd Dsdiss and Die.
 tended Ears Ia AbyssiniA. v

tended Esrs "a AbyssiniA. v The people of the Genlira dis trict of Abyssinia and some of their curious customs have been described by Mir. George Montandon in the Geographical Journal:
 ''As with all primitive peoples, the Gemira have customs peculiar to themselves, which arc displayed ill external traits, of which the priE- cipal are as follows: Every infant suffers vertical incision on the root of the nose. The men bear on the forehead broad tumor lined with vertical furrows, due to the fact that when d relative dies they strike their forehead with the blade of their lance.
 "A large number both of men and women have their chests and backs covered with tattoo marks, formed of simple cicatrices produc- cd by puncturcs or cuts. The usual device is triangle. The hair is cut i in a singular manner. The head is divided into compartments and dis plays varying designs from the diff fercnt lengths of hair in the several compartments.
 "Amons the ornaments worn, those on the car attract the most at tention. They arc either pendants, of which some have the form of a double spiral and arc identical with those met with in the lake stations of the bronze age. or take the form of plates of ivory, disks of wood or plugs of dried grass inserted into the lobe of the ear, which is dis tended to its utmost capacity by months or years of preparation. A Gemira's requirements in the mat ter of clothing arc strictly limited, but he never goes quite naked.
 "Thc huts are very small, and their stceply sloping roofs terminate in a sharp point. Their inmates sometimes paint on their huts, by means of colorcd earths. the figure which seems to be their favorite if not exclusive dcsign-thc triangle. The Gemira arc pagans. They ap- pear to believe in divinity inhabit- ing the sky. not to be identified with the Walk of the Galla. but also in secondary gcnii dwelling on { the earth"

Shadows of Sound.

As there are shadows that inter fere with sight, so also there are shadows" that interfere with hear ing. This fact is we'll known by pilots. When, as in dense fogs, the boat is guided largely by the sense of hearing, there is constant risk that, these SO called shadows" may cut off the sound of the foghorns. In certain cases the sound waves seem to ''jump" like bounding balls. At the distance of a mile the sound is heard perfectly, at two miles it may be impossible to hear it, while mile farther on it may begin to be audible once more.-Exchange.

Lime For The Soil.

Do not fail to test lining the
soil on your farm for this is one
of the promising features of
progressive farming. Not long
ago, but few thought of adding
lime to the soil, but now almost
every progressive farmer is ex-
perimenting, and the weight of
evidence is greatly in favor of
applying lime to our fields to
sweeten the soil more friable and
to make available fertility that
has been held in the soil for
many years, unavailable for
plant food. Do not apply lime
in foliage il growing crops.
Winter or early spring are the
best seasons to apply, but it can
be applied any time if there is
no crop on the soil to be burned
by the lime.

TRAPPING AN ERMINE.
One of the Reasons Why the Priced
Fur Is So Costly.

One of the Reasons Why the Priced
Fur Is So Costly.
This stole OF imperial ermine is
worth $1,000" said the dealer. Dear?
Nix. Just consider how the animals
comprised In it were caught!
'In the first place, they were caught
In a winter Of extreme cold, for It Is
only In such a winter that the weasel,
or ermine, turns from tawny to snow
white. In normal winters the ermine
only turns to greenish white, like this
$500 greenish white stole here.
In the second place, the ermines
were caught young, for when fully de-
veloped their coats are coarse and stid,
as In this $3.50 stole. and to catch them
young the tongue trap must be used.
Any other trap would tear the delicate
fur.
'The tongue trap is knife. an ordi-
nary hunting knife. smeared with
grease, that the hunter lays in the
snow. The little ermine sees the blade,
which it mistakes for ice Ice it loves
to lick. and so 1t ticks the knife blade
and is caught fast, its tongue, In that
zero weather, frozen to the steel

this don't begrudge a good price for it.
