stones and Glass Houses.

The origin of the saying Those who
live in glass houses should not throw
stones" Is rs follows: At the time OF
the union OF England and Scotland
London was inundated with Scotch
men. aud the London roughs used to
70 about at night breaking their Wilt
dows. Buckingham being considered
the chief instigator of the mischief, a
party of ScOtchmen smashed the win
dows of the dukes mansion, known as
the Glass House. The court favorite
appealed to the king. who replied.
"Steenie. Steenie, those who live in
glass houses should be careful how
they fling stones"

FEEDING on Sunlight.

Major Miramond de Ia Roquette Of
the French army medical corps in re.
porting 10 the Academic des Sciences
the results of some observations in
southern Algeria on the relation be
tween diet and sunlight gave it MS his
opinion that the tissues of the human
body directly utilize the radiant en-
ergy of the sunshine. The normal
diet of the natives of hot and sunny
climes is far lower both in quantity
and in nutritive quality than that of
inhabitants of less favored regions, the
sunlight seeming TO make up the diff
ference.

such great value that they were ac-
cepted as cash. passing from hand 10
hand In the same way as banknotes or
the present day. The negotiability Or
these skins was established in this way:
The Emperor Gu III, being In want Of
money. gave his treasurer TO under
stand that such state of Affairs must
not continue. At that time IL was Gus
tomary for princes and courtiers on en-
tering the royal presence To cover their
faces with pieces OF skin. Taking ad-
vantage Of this custom. the treasurer
procured the issuance ~ decree for
bidding the use Of any other skins for
this purpose save those OF a certain spe-
cies OF white deer In the royal parks.
Immediately. Of course. there arose q
demand for pieces Of these skins,
which. being "A. monopoly. were sold at
a high price.
Thus were the royal Golfers reiilled.
The steady value Of the skins thus oh
tanned made them readily substitute

QUESTION CLEARED UP
Bennington Readers Can No Longer
Doubt the Evidence

Again and again we have read of
strangers in distant towns who have
been cured by this or that medicine.
But Bennington's pertinent question
has always been Has anyone here in
Bennington been cured?" The word
of a stranger living hundred miles
away may be true, but IL cannot have
the same weight with us as the word
of our own citizens, whom we know
and respect, and whose evidence we
can so easily prove.

ton, Vt, says Time has not alter.
