HINT EXTRADITION OF
 THAW IS NOT LIKELY
No Statute Permitting Such
 Action, Says Judge.

A victory for Harry K. Thaw in the United States district court at Little ton, N H., assured the prisoner of at least one more week in New hampshire while the assertion of Judge Edgar Aldrich of the federal court now indf- cates that Thaw cannot be extradtted on the present complaint at any time. Judge Aldrich informed William Travers Jerome, representing New York state in the proceedings, that a search of the statutes had failed 10 reveal any law under which man in Thaw's position, lunatic charged with a crime, could be extradited
 Thaw's victory over Jerome, which brought a smile to the faces of the prisoner and his counsel. was in the action of the court ill suspending the hearing on the writ of habeaS corpus on which Thaw was brought from Colebrook to the federal court at Lit tleton. This action makes it impOs sible to extradite Thaw until the hear ing is resumed and settled, even should Governor Felker sign eXtraditiOn pa perS after his hearing of the case.

The First Candlestick.

The first candlestick was a boy. He sat in the corner of a Scottish kitchen holding a piece of fir candle in his hands. from time to time cutting and trimming it to make it burn brightly The fir candle was length of wood cut from a kind of fir tree which is found embedded in the peat. This kind of candle is still used in some parts of Scotland. It usually fell to the lot of the herd laddies' to act the part of candlestick; but should beggar ask for a nights lodging he was expected to relieve the ''herd lad die" of his duty. A candlestick is still called in Aberdeenshire a 'puir man." or "poor man."-Child's Hour.

WORKMAN FINDS GEMS.
Necklace Valued at $65o,ooo Lost sn Mails Recovered After Two Months.
 London Laborer's Treasure

Fifty-eight pearls, the value of which is in the neighborhood of $65O,- 900, were found on the street by a workman while on his way to work in Highbury, a northern district of London. The workman, noticing the gems lying in a heap on a sidewalk, picked them up and counted them. He knew from reading the newspa- pers that the pearls probably belonged to the $650,000 pearl necklace which was stolen while in the mails consign- ed from Paris to London.
 He immediately took the treasure to he nearest police station, where the gems were recognized at once as part )f the missing necklace. The fifty eight pearls were nearly all of those which composed the necklace. At the present time only one of the pearls is missing.

A little backache at first.
 Daily increasing till the back is lame and weak.
 Urinary disorders may quickly follow.
 Dropsy and often BriSht's disease.

 Don't take this course. Follow the ad- vice of a Canaan citizen.

All said praising Doan's s Kidney Pills when I recommended them before, still holds good"

Charles Holmes had the misfortune TO lose valuable COW, shot by hunters Sun day morning.
Antiquity of Tobacco.

The cultivation and use of tobacco are of such antiquity that authentic history does not record their begin nings. The claims of certain European and Asiatic countries to an acquaint- ance with the plant prior to the dis covery of America by Columbus are not supported by accepted history nor satisfactorily demonstrated by the re- searches of the antiquarian or the archeologist. It is fairly well settled that tobacco is indigenous to the west ern hemisphere and that the aborigines practiced it's cultivation and use from remotest times and spread their knowl- edge to the rest of the world.-Wash- lngton Star.

Whiskers.

"Whiskers'' was a word formerly used to designate the hair on the up per lip. Scott more than once speaks of "whiskers on the upper lip" and so does Defoe in Robinson Crusoe. '' Johnson defined a "whisker' as "the hair growing on the upper lip or cheek unshaven, a mustachio.' It seems to have taken it's name from a fancied resemblance to small brush. to "whisk" properly meaning to sweep, and a "whisker" having been a par ticular kind of feather brush: also. in the slang of a former time, a switch or rod. In the seventeenth century a ''whisker'' signifed, among other things, a brazen lie, ''whopper."

100000 YEAR OLD
SKULL IS FOUND
PREHISTORIC BONES UNEARTH.
ED IN ENGLAND ALTERS EvO.
LUTON THEORY.

New York, Nov 16.-Dr J. Leon
Williams of London, an eminent au
thority on anthropology and geology
arrived from Liverpool with fifteen
skulls of prehistoric man, one of
which he estimated to be 100000 years
old. his skull was found by work
men near Folkesstone, England, in
strata that dated back prior to the
pleistocene era and its existence and
discovery has confirmed DR.. Williams
in the belief that mankind is at least
half a million years old.
DR.. Williams said the finding of
these ancient skulls and other human
bones did not disproye, in his opinion,
the popular theory of evolution, but
altered it in some degree. One of the
chief distinctions between these skulls
and those of apes, he said, was in
the teeth.
