Mons began fighting. Caesar found ed it as a camp and a short time lat CT ,Cicero's brother sustained siege by Ambiorix. It's most famous siege was in 1572. delivered by Frederic of Toledo. one of the distinguished gen erals of Alba. The siege lasted from the end of June to the middle of Sep tember; sorties and relief were vain; the town capitulated under the most honorable conditions. In 1891 the Marechal de Luxembourg attacked the town. inflicted great damage and fore ed surrender. In 17O9 Marlborough and Prince Eugene attacked and car ried the town after siege of 126 days. In 1746 the Prince de Conti laid suc- cessful siege. In 1792 Mons was the first fruit of the republican victory at Jemappes. and in 1794 the Austrians were subjected to a crushing defeat.- New York Sun.

 That very high. imposing, mathe- matically proved science-celestial me- chanics-demonstrate that there is no necessity for colossal, dominating central sun. The idea of central sun controlling the entire sidereal universe was advanced by what are called meta physicians, totally opposite in nature from mathematicians For one guesses; the other either proves or admits that he cannot
 If the universe is finite it has pre- else center. Photos of the entire GOO giant suns, our sun being one of the smaller. And these or some of them are known to be two quadrillion miles apart Mechanics know that the entire congeries of suns has cen ter of gravity. And 1t knows that this center of gravitation, even If empty and void. dominates all motions of all the millions of suns around it.
 But all suns move as bees in 8 swarm. and no such immense body has been sensed in space. Kapteyn's dis covery of drifting of suns in opposite directions may indeed be the beginning of q discovery of rotation around a center, but the rotation would as well be maintained if the center is an absO- lute vacuum.
 If the universe is infinite it has no center. and the above line of argument backed by rigid mathematics cannot apply.-Edgar Lucien Larkin in New York American.

CarIyle's Pen Picture of the Famous
 Old Prussian Ruler.
 On the 17th of August, 17S6, died one of the most remarkable sovereigns Flu rope ever produced, Frederick II. of Prussia, called Frederick the Great Thomas Carlyle thus describes him:
 ''The man is not of godlike physiog- nomy any more than of imposing stat ure or costume. Close shut mouth, with thin lips. prominent jaws and nose, receding brow by no means of Olympi- an height; head. however, is of long form and has superlative gray eyes in it. Not what is called a beautiful man. nor yet. by all appearances. what is called a happy.
 "On the contrary. the face bears evi- dence of many sorrows, as they are termed; of much hard labor done in this world and seems to anticipate but more still coming. Quiet stoicism. ca pable enough of what joy there were. but not expecting any worth mention; great unconscious and some conscious pride tempered with a cheery mock cry of humor-are written in that old face, which carries it's chin well for ward in spite of the slight stoop about the neck; snuffy nose rather flung into the air under its old cooked hat-like an old snuffy lion on the watch; and such pair of eyes as no man or lion or lynx of that century bore elsewhere. according to all the testimony we have

They Go Through Trying Ordeal In
 Getting Name.
 When children are born in Ashanti they are at once rubbed all over with a mixture of oil and red ocher, this being repeated every two days. Their mouths are washed with fiery con- coction in which red pepper is the main ingredient. and a crier goes through the town proclaiming the new arrival and claiming for it name and a place among the living.
 Some one else is distant part of the village acknowledges the fact and promises, on the part of the people, that the newborn babe shall be re ceived into the community. The towns people then assemble in the streets. and the baby is brought out and ex- posed to view.
 and the head man. or chief of the town, sprinkles water upon it, leaving it a name and invoking blessing upon it. such as. for instance. that 1t may have health, grow up to manhood or womanhood. have a numerous prog eny and possess riches.
 Most of those present follow the ex- ample of the head man, and the poor child is thoroughly drenched before the ceremony is ended. Every one who participates in the ceremony pledges himself to be friend to the child.-London Standard.

AN OLD DUTCH LEGEND.
How Jantjs tho 6elIrinser Saved Sluis
 From the Spaniards.

How Jantjs tho BelIringer Saved Sluis From the Spaniards.
 An old statue in the steeple near the bells at Sluis, in Holland, which was originally erected in honor of Jantje van Sluis, is worked by mechanical means, which cause 1t to strike the bell at every hour and half with ham. mer.
 Jantje was a bellringer and watch man during the eighty years war with Spain. On the night of June 12, 1906, Du Terrail, Spanish captain, resolved to recover Sluis, the principal fortress of Zealand, from Prince Maurice of Orange, who had conquered it two years previously.
 | When the clock struck nine it was arranged that the Spanish soldiers should sound false alarm at one gate in order to draw the Dutch soldiers away from another, thus leaving a means of ingress for the enemy. Providentially Jantje forgot to wind up the clock till late in the evening, and, being terribly afraid of ghosts, he did it so hastily that he damaged the works. Another story ayers that he was intoxicated, the result of Sluis fair, which had been held on that after noon.
 Be that as it may, Terrail waited in vain to hear the familiar striking of the old clock. and thus the attack was put off till midnight. In the meantime the garrison had suspected something amiss and were on the alert. Conse- quently the Spaniards were repulsed with great loss.
 Jantje had accidentally saved his town. and to honor him his fellow cit izens erected the bell ringing statue to his perpetual memory.-London Tatler.

Our Suoar,

The first beet sugar factory in the United States was erected in Philadel. phia in 1880. It did not prove a suc- cess and was dismantled. The first successful beet sugar factory was built in 1870 at Alvarado. Cal. This factory was in operation until 1913. when 1t closed down. It is estimated that $1OO.OOO.OOO is now invested in the sugar beet industry of this coun. try. The sugar supply of the Amer ican people is drawn from three main sources. These are: Domestic beet sug ar produced in seventeen states from Ohio in the east to California in the west; domestic cane sugar produced in Louisiana. Hawaii. Porto Rico and the Philippines: imported cane sugar pro- duced in Cuba.-Argonaut.

In Asia the rose of Sharon is consid- cred the emblem of resurrection. Throughout Syria, Judea and Arabia it is regarded with the profoundest rever- ence. The leaves that encircle the blossoms dry and close together when the season of blooming is over, and the stalk, whitening completely and drying in the shape of a ball. is carried by the breeze to great distances. In this way 1t is borne over the sandy deserts until, touching some moist place. 1t clings to the soil, where 1t immediately takes fresh root and springs to life and beauty again.-London Mail.

Human EmotionS Have Potent Enect
 Upon the Physical Being.
 A man is handed telegram. He is eating and enjoying his dinner. He reads the contents of the message. Al most immediately afterward his body is a-ttmble. his face either reddens or grows "ashy white," his appetite is gone; such is the effect of the mind upon ,he stomach that it literally re- fuses the food; if forced upon it it may reject it entirely.
 A message is delivered to lady. She is in genial. happy mood. Her face whitens, she tremblcs and her body falls to the ground in a faint. temporarily helpless, apparently life less. Such are the intimate relations between the mind and the body.
 Great stress or anxiety or fear may in two weeks or even in two days time so work it's ravages that the per son looks ten years or even twenty years older.

 Any type of thought that prevails in our mental lives will in time produce its correspondence in our physical lives. AS we understand better these laws of correspondences we will be more careful as to the types of thoughts and emotions we consciously or un- willingly entertain and live with. The great bulk of all diseases are gener- ated in the body through certain states and conditions of mind.-Ralph Waldo Trine in Woman's Home Companion.
