Tobacco lona Known.

It is worthy of remark that although
the common clay pipe of England is
entirely different in material and form
from our original American pipe, it
was used in nearly its present shape
at the first introduction of tobacco, as
though before approved for similar
use.
Clay pipes. supposed to be Of date
anterior to this period, have occasion
ally been found in Irish bogs. An en-
craving of dudeen, which was dug up
at Brannockstown, sticking between
the teeth of human skull. may be
found in the "Anthologia Hibernica,'
together with paper which, on the
authority of Herodotus, Strabo and
other ancient writers, would prove
that the northern nations OF Europe.

were acquainted with tobacco, or ar
herb of similar properties, and that
they smoked it through small tubes.

RIGHTS TO BE DETERMINED
Eligibility Of Porto Rican as American
Army Officer Is Being Questioned
by Authorities.

The question as to whether Luis
Raoul Esteves, the Porto Rican grad
uate in this years class from West
Point is eligible for commission in
the army has been raised Under a
decision of the court Porto Ricans are
not citizens of the United States, and
for that reason it was suggested that
Cadet Esteves might not qualify as an
officer OF the army.
While the question has not been
passed upon by the legal authorities,
the opinion of those who have been
looking up the precedents is that the
fact that the cadet is not a citizen of
the United States will not disqualify
him from holding commission.
Beginning with the Revolutionary
war down through the Civil war, for
eigners have held commissions in the
United States army Without regard
to his citizenship the Porto Rican now
has the legal status of cadet. He is
on a different status from the Fill
pinos, who under a special act Of con-
gress are permitted to take the course
at the military academy. Esteves en-
tered the academy and was educated
under the same provision of law as all
other cadets, and it is thought that it
will be held that he is eligible for a
commission in the army.-Washingt

KEEPS CHICKENS AT WORK
Chicago Man Employs Unique Device
to Increase Production cf Eggs
During the Cold Weather.

A resident of Chicago is reported to
ems up to their work during the win.
ter season, when the short days have
an undesirable effect on the produc-
tion of eggs. His plan is to provide
his chickens with artificial light to
work by, and he has installed series
of electric lights in his scheme, ac-
cording to the Electrical Review:
"At six in the morning l turn on
the switch, and the fowls get up, think
ing it is daylight. The lights are
turned off at daylight, when the neigh
bors' fowls are just arising. At four
the lights are turned on again, and
they are kept going until nine at
night, when l turn out all except the
two candle-power lamps. These give
just sufficient light to give the ap-
pearance of dusk, and the fowls begin
going to roost. l leave the small
lamps lit all night, so that if any of
the fowls want to get up at night to
eat they can do so. Eleven days af-
ter the lights were installed the daily
average jumped from &c eggs to 49,
During the molting season under the
old custom, when most of the food
was going to feathers instead of eggs,
had only II eggs day. Now l get
so day during the moTting season.
BY my method l keep the chickens
thinking they are getting the same
amount of daylight all the year round,
and | am keeping them thinking all
the time"

REFLECTED FROM THE LAND
Mirage Frequently Seen by Travelers
Through the Red River Valley
of Minnesota.

That phenomenon known as the mi
rage has always been of interest to
travellers. Sometimes even people on
the train can get a glimpse of such
an illusion. In the Red River valley
of Minnesota are occasionally to be
seen some of it's effects. In guide
book issued by the United States
Geological survey Warren Upham
says: "The mirage, typical of plains,
country or the ocean, may be seen in
the Red River valley almost any sun
shiny day in spring, summer or au.
tumn. This queer phenomenon makes
the high land at the sides of the valley
and the tops of the distant trees and
houses appear to be raised a little
above the horizon, with narrow strip
of sky between. The more complex
and astonishing effect of mirage may
be seen from the highland on either
side of the lake-bed floor There, in
looking across the valley from one and
one-half TO two hours after sunrise on
hot morning following cool night
the groves and houses, villages and
grain elevators loom up to two or
three times Their true height and
places ordinarily hidden by the curva
ture of the earth are brought into
view. Oftentimes, too, these objects
are seen double, being repeated in al
inverted image close above their real
position and separated from it by a
foglike belt. In it's most perfect de
yelopment the mirage shows the uD
per and topsy-turvy portion of the
view quite as distinctly as the lower
and true portion. These appearances
are due to refraction and reflection
from layers of air of different densi
ty such as are often formed above a
wide expanse of level country in
warm weather."

COLD COMFORT
FOR REPUBLICANS

Some of the standpat Republican
Journals cf the state are beginning
thus early to try and reconcile their
widely dissatisfied forces, and bring
about harmony for the campaign of
1916.
1t is an admitted fact, even by their
most stalwar. leaders, that the rem
nants of that once "all powerful
party in the state is in most de-
plorable condition. The acts of the
last legislature as well as those of
reactionary governor, are causing
great concern, and the governors re-
cent attempt to subordinate state Of
ficers, has added fuel to the flame,
Tie progressive element of their par
ty whom they sought to return by
liberal use of sap, still remain out
side tie fold and will continue to
be warning element.
Unlike this state of affairs, the
Democratic party Of tie state and
nation under the cautious hand OF the
chief magistrate of this republic, is
cementing democracy, and without
doubt Mr. Wilson will again be the
standard bearer in 1916. The demo-
cracy of the state learned their les
son in the last campaign, and the
grievous blunders being daily made
by these now in state power, will
be seriously considered by the oppos-
ing faction and the way paved for
united action.
From present appearance the year
1916 will dawn with united demo
cracy, both in nation and state, and
it is fair to presume that the voter
will rally to tie standard OF those
who have kept this nation from the
horrors of war.

in small house innocent of anything
approaching a laboratory; scientific
devices were in every room. and all
the money went for experiments.
Then one day came the crisis in the
guise of the collector for the gas COM

often, but Edison. hardly needing his
calls. had waved him away, saying
Don't bother me.

structions were perenptory. He must

conyersina With "ehosts."

Some scientists of real eminence
have accepted the postulate of the
individuality and self-consciousness of
the soul after the death of the body,
and have even attempted to demon
strate their belief by asserting COM
munication with these disembodied
spirits. Sir William Crookes, pro-
found deliver in chemistry pertaining
to radio.activity, asserted years ago
that he had had communication with
souls of dead friends, but for several
later years he has been silent anent
this matter. Camille Flammarion, a
rather speculative and sensational as
tronomer. declares that he has seen
and conversed with the ghosts of
dead friends. Prof. William James,
brother of Henry James, the novelist,
promised before he died that IL pos
sible he would communicate with his
friend, Professor Hyslop. both eminent
psychologists, but at last accounts the
soul of Professor James had not
spoken.

FATHER TIME NEVER BLUFFED
Sooner or Later the Old Gentleman
Gets Even With Those Who
Practice Deception.

Once upon a time there was lady
a secret. In order to get away with it
she instructed her son, in case anyone
asked how old he was, to knock of
about so per cent.
She told people the boy was large
for his age and explained the gruff
tones of his voice by saying that his
tonsils needed attention.
One day the rector Of the church
called. and while waiting in the draw
ing room for the lady to put the finish.
ing touches to her makeup he talked
with the boy, who was pretending to
read Little Lord Fauntleroy' for the
seventeenth time. The boy volunteered
the information that tomorrow would
be his birthday.
"Ah," said the rector, "and how old
will you be then?"
Ten years DID, replied the boy, as
per instructions.
Indeed" said the rector. 81 dare
say you haven't any idea what your
mother is going to give you for a
birthday gift"
"Oh, yes, 1 have" was the unex
pected answer. "She promised to give
me safety razor"
When the rector rushed into the hall
to see what had caused the loud crash
he had heard he found the boys moth
er lying on the floor in dead faint.
