FIVE THOUSAND A DAY.
Enrollments In the Hughes National
College League.

The Hughes National College
League, 511 Fifth avenue, New York,
is receiving enrollments at the rate
of five thousand a day. They are
coming from all parts of the country,
and the work of organizing branches
in all states and most of the important
cities has been started. A large per-
centage of the enrollments are from
men who give their usual political
affiliations as Progressive, Democratic
or Independent.
The league has received the en-
dorsement of Governor Hughes, who
wired: "If there was ever a time
when the educated men of the country
who have its welfare at heart should
work for right principles and strong
government it Is now" Chairman
Wilcox Of the Republican National
Committee, ex-President Taft, and
John Hays Hammond have also praised
the work enthusiastically, as much on
the score of the benefit to the men
themselves as of the real work 1t will
do to help elect Governor Hughes.

The First Cradle.

The earliest mention in literature of
cradles is in the Biblical account of
Moses little ark of bulrushes. But
there are in the British museum some
clay tablets found some years ago on
the site of ancient Nineveh which, &C.
cording to archaeologists, make it
quite clear that somewhere about
1000 years before the Christian era
there was another infant hero exposed
in a little ark Of bulrushes. Thus the
cradle that was found by Pharaoh'a
daughter 400 B. c. was comparatively
modern.
1t is certain that cradles were first
used as a means of protecting babies
from the attacks of wild animals by
%suspending them from the boughs of
trees.-London Globe.

Ancient War Automobiles.

Among some interesting documents
in the old Bohemian city, Saaz, on the
Eyer river, is a picture showing an at
tack on the fortress Glatz. in Silesia,
in which war automobiles were used.
The mechanically driven cars were fat
vehicles, protected by huge shields in
front, In which the soldiers turned
large cranks, the rotary motion of
which was transferred to cog wheels
and to the road wheels. 1t is estimat-
ed that these fifteenth century "chauf-
feurs" got a speed of four miles an
hour out of the armored cars.

Fatigue Injuries Temper.

More than half of the Ill temper ant

to fatigue, not only of the body, but

Take off your shoes, put on soft slip

or sit in a comfortable easy chair, say
for twenty minutes. Even if you
don't sleep you will rest. After bath

ceIts Discovered Soap.

Soap appears to have been discover ed by the Celts. for the name is de rived from the Celtic word ''sebon." It seems strange that such early wan derers should have been familiar with soap, but if they had the name they must certainly have had the article it stood for. Moreover. 1t is quite con ceivable that nomads using wood fires could accidentally discover soap. All woods have q certain amount of min eral salts. chiefly those of potash, in their fibers. After burning these are left in the form of carbonate. witch heavy shower of rain would dissolve into a liquid lye. wanting only the grease from an overturned caldron of broth to form soap A dash of natural curiosity on the part of the woman who cleaned up the mess would reveal the cleansing properties of the new Substance.-LondOn Mail.
