DIVIDED INTO SIX RACES
Differences IN Branches Of Mankind
Are Marked-origin Of the
Semitic Peoples.

Sanskrit is the language which was
spoken by the easternmost branch of
the lndo-Germanic or Aryan race. It
cannot, therefore, be said whether the
race or the language peculiar to that
race is the elder, probably the former.
The advent of the Celtic Aryan into
Europe is shrouded in mystery. There
are apparently not even traditions of
their time of emigration The Semitic
race is one of the six races OF man
kind, and is distinct from the Aryan.
The races are Indo-Germanic or Ar.
van, white, of Europe, America, Per-
STA, India and Australia. The Mongo-
liam or Turanian, yellow and brown,
Asia. The Semitic, white, Africa.
Arabia, etc. The negro, black, At
RIGA. The Malay or Polynesian, brown,
Australasia. The American Indian,
red, North and South America.
The Semites are supposed to be the
descendants Of Shem-that is. the
name originated in this way. The term
was not in general use until the first
quarter OF this century, though it was
used in Germany as early as 1881. 1t
is applied to the races akin to the He
brew, such as Arabian, or Assyrian.
Some authorities consider the primt
tive seat of the race to be Africa,
others Arabia, still others the lower
Euphrates The languages form an
important family, and are divided into
two principal branches, the northern
and southern. To the northern branch
belong the Assyrian and Aramean Tor
Syrian), and the Palestinian, (Hebrew
and Phoenician). To the Southern
belong the Arabic and the Ethiopic,

Helpful
Health Hints

1t is not the mistakes we make that retard
us, but our inability OF unwillingness to
learn the lessons that these mistakes teach.
The osteopath believes germs are the cause
of disease, also of slime on a pond, but
there is another cause--stagnatlon. He re-
moves the cause of stagnation. Germs
cannot grow in flowing blood or water.
You can live forty days without food, but
you cannot possibly live forty minutes with
out air. This being true, why stuff our
selves with food, and starve ourselves for
air? To what do we give as little attention
as to the welfare of our own bodies, until
stricken by disease? You should consult an
osteopath as often as you do dentist, and
perhaps much more often.

DOGS CHARACTER A MYSTERY
Owners Unable to Determine Whether
He Is Detective or Inclined
to Kleptomania.

The Newlyweds out in Crescent Hill
are wondering il Rex is a thief or
detective.
Rex is a dog, white. woolly dog,
who Is minutes after having his bath
looks as if he hadn't mad bath for a
week. Rex is not hunter He doesn't
know what game looks like. He
doesn't even chase cats. He is afraid
of other dogs He is so tractable that
he makes friends with anybody who
pays him the slightest attention. He
would be on terms Of intimacy with a
burglar in two minutes.
So it can be seen that Rex's owners
had good reason for thinking him
good for nothing. even if they did love
him. Now they are wondering wheth-
er he is worse than good for nothing,
or a valuable retriever.
A few weeks ago Mrs. Newlywed
lost a purse containing SIC in cash.
long search failed to reveal 1t, and
it was given up for lost
Last Sunday Rex walked into the
house with something in his mouth.
He laid his quarry on the floor. 1t
was the purse and the SIS were in
tact.
Now the question at the home of
the Newlyweds Isl Did Rex play de-
tective and md that money for its
legitimate owners. or did he return 1t
after carrying it away himself? Rex's
real character promises to remain a
mystery for long time.-Louisville
Times.

Although no one saw MT. Plante when he fell, it seems that in turning into the driveway he was jolted from the seat by the wagon striking the curb and fell between the horses. Several peorle residing in that vicinity heard MT. P1ante call out "Whoa!" twice. to the horses, and, rushing out. found him lying on the ground, moaning, in an unconscious state. A physician was sent for, but Mr- Plante expired within few min utes. Medical Examiner c. c. Glider sleeve was summoned and pronounced death as accidental.
 The body was removed to the under taking parlors of G. G. Grant, where 1t was found that the right leg had been fractured and that the mans chest was badly crushed, showing that in all probability the wheels of the wagon had passed over him.
 MT. Plante was born in St. Hyacinth in 1874, the son of MT. and Mrs. John Plante. He came to this country at the age of 14 and was employed for a number of years as coachman for the late John IIccles. Later he was en- ployed as chauffeur by A. B.

1 most remarkable features in connection with these rifles was that there was absolutely no rejections. Every rifle that was assembled passed the most severe and critical tests.
 This is a matter of pride to us, ina smuch as we believe no similar condition has existed with any other company manufacturing rifles for for eign governments.
 "The company is now proceeding to get out the rifles in large quantities and the prospects of the company are exceedingly bright. Shipments will be made regularly and we hope soon to reach the maximum amount of pro- duction.
 The above facts are a matter of pride not only to ourselves but to the citizens of Norwich The fact that this first delivery was made within a period of 13 months from receipt of order is a condition unparalleled in the history of any other contract re- ceived in this country"
