NettIes Proof of Mans Presence.

Nettles are said to be an almost
certain proof that man has lived ON
the spot. One British species, the So
called Roman nettle, is said to be
found only where the Romans have
been. Coles, the seventeenth century
herbalist, explains: 1T grows both
at the town of Lidde, by Romney, and
in the streets of the town of Romney,
in Kent, where Julius Caesar landed
with his soldiers and abode there
certain time; and for the growing of
it in that place it is reported that tn
souldiers brought some of the seede
with them and sowed it there, for
their use to rub and chafe their limbs,
when through eXtream cold they
should be stiff and benumbed; being
told before they came from home that
the climate of Britain was SO eXtream
cold it was not to be endured with
out some friction"

FORCED TO HEAR SERMON
Wlnks" in English Churches
800 Years Ago.

Those who have a habit of sleep
ing through the minister's sermon
should thank their stars that they
were not living in England 800 years
ago, for they would have been raped
over the head every time they dozed
by men especially appointed to the
task of keeping the congregation
awake.
For instance, in one parish in
Shropshire, 25 shillings q year was
regularly paid to a poor man to go
about the church during the sermon
and keep the people awake. He car
ried thin, long wand in his hand,
which he could conveniently stretch
out over considerable apace and rap
offenders on the head or about the
shoulders.
With women he was always in
structed to be gentler, to tap softly,
but persistently, until the slumber
was broken. For women, it was
learned, were not so amiable as men
on being aroused from comfortable
nap, and, if gentle means were not
employed, were likely to get up and
leave, causing no little commotion
about them.

SchNartz's Barnaln.

The hallboy had fairly split his
throat shouting directions to deaf per-
sons who had called to see Mr..
Schwartz. Mr.. Schwartz lived in the
fourth floor rear apartment, through
the long hall. 1t took good deal OF
shouting to make some folks under
stand that
Il never saw so many deaf people
in my life," said he. What on earth
are they all running up to Schwartz 8
for?"
"Mr. Schwartz has advertised deaf

AMERICA MODEL FOR EUROPE
Baroness Won Suttner Calls the United
States Land Of Unlimited
Possibilities"

THE land Of unlimited possibilities
and conquered impossibilities" il what
Baroness Bertha Won Suttner calls
America.
1T Is to America, the young, new
world exuberant in strength, glad in
its daring, that tired, cynical Europe
looks to find new hope and faith In
progress" says the baroness, who
declares that Europe is being Ameri-
canized by returning immigrants.
But" she says. 1T is pity that
so few people OF our better educated
classes travel in your country as you
Americans travel here. But, do you
know, / have often wondered II you
know us as well as you know our art
and antiquities.
"One of my dear American friends
contided to me that they, she and her
husband, had never been in a private
home In Europe until they visited
me.
Even though everything Is not rosy
in your political arena, though there
is brazen-faced practice OF corruption
how do you call It, graft, trusts,
strikes, brlbery-though you have con.
ditions as complex and problems as
difficult as everywhere else, we look
to you for the solution, for America
Is full of hope, strength and you
Americans are striving and working"

READY FOR BASEBALL "NINE"
Hotel Proprietor Took Orders for Ac-
commodations in Very Literal
Manner.

The hotel proprietor at Paso Robes
is probably better informed as to the
personnel of big league ball team
than he was last year on the occasion
of the White SoX's former visit. AT
that time, Manager Callahan says, the
Chicago aggregation. including train
ers and recruits, numbered about
thirty. They arrived at the hotel with
the healthy appetites known only to
athletes and farm hands.
1--WE could hardly watt" continues
the Sox manager, until the dinner
bell rang. Then we marched down to
the dining room ready to do justice to
an OK. What was our surprise at see
ing only nine plates at the table. The
majority of the party began to have
fears of going hungry, and didn't know
whether to make a rush for the table
or play Going to Jerusalem

One Execution.

There are so many established ways
of offending waiter at big restau-
rant that it seems difficult to think up
new one, but customer who
lunched at famous hostelry achieved
It. Being in a sentimental, cOntem-
plative mood, the customer said:
81 suppose people from every nation
under the sun dine here?"
Yes, sir" said the waiter.
1T is depressing to reflect on the
generations that have sat at these old
tables" the customer went on
dreamily. "Old and young, learned and
ignorant, grave and gay, rich and
poor"
At that point in the reverie the
waiter tlared up Indignantly.

money to eat in this place"
Then he presented the bill, and the
customer heartily concurred.

FRENCHMAN AT THE PHONE
According to Returned Traveller, Con.
dltions Are Worse In That Coun-
try Than Here In America.

Have you ever seen a Trenchman
use telephone in PariB?" asked Rich
ard L. Friend, lawyer Of st. Louis,
at the Shoreham, according to the
Washington Post
Mr.. Friend recently returned from
Paris and had been reading in Ameri-
can newspapers about the proposal of
Postmaster General Burleson to ac-
quire for the government all the tele-
phone wires.
1.-The Frenchman," declared Mr..
Friend, desiring to make call, APP
proaches the telephone with a smile
OF expectancy. In the usual way he
takes the receiver, places his lips near
the transmitter as If to answer quickly
the call of central Soon he turns
away, the look of expectancy having
changed to one of slight Impotence.
The smile returns, which indicates
that central has answered. He gives
his number Then ensues another
period of waiting. He rattles the
hook, gives the number again, does a
fishwalk around the telephone, mops
his forehead with his handkerchief
and waves his arms madly in the air
He cries Justify through the transmit
ter that there is still no answer. FL
nally, In despair, he snaps the receiver
on the hook, stands back and contem-
plates the box with degree of scorn
and kicks it off the wall with his foot
IL he can reach 1t. Then he goes out
and takes a cab"

Game of Chess.

Nobody knows how old the game of
chess is, 1t undoubtedly originated
somewhere in the East. The place Of
its origin may have been Egypt, or
India, or Persia, or China, but 1t is
impossible to be more explicit. The
game was brought into Europe by the
Arabs when they went over into
Spain, and from Spain made its way
gradually all over Europe, whence 1t
was brought to the new found lands
of the West after the time of Colum-
bus.

Bible RuNera In ltalv.

There Is marvellous awakening Of

port Of this statement, a writer in the

tent to give but one, and that Is that
1t pays secular publisher to print
and sell the Bible purely as a COM
mercial speculation. Some years ago
Sig Sonzogno, the proprietor and pub
Usher in Milan of the Secolo and other
newspapers published a large illus.
trated Bible in parts at the equivalent
of one cent each. Where his news
paper went his Bible went. When
completed the Bible cost ten francs

which he tells me that he sold $4,000
copies, bringing him in half a million
francs, or 100000. Since then sec.
ond edition was called for, and 1t, too,
was soon exhausted, and now third
edition is coming out and is selling
well.
