No Firlsss Men.

Theoretically there must have
been q time when men had not yet
learned to make fire or to preserve
it when produced by natural means,
as by lightning, etc. There are warn.

tribes ignorant Of fire. The his.
torian Of Magellan's voyage round
the world relates that the inhab-
.itants Of a Pacific island knew moth

HARalson's LOG CABIN.
The Presidents Primitive House on
the Ranks Of the Ohio.

The P%rssidsnt's Primitive House on
the Banks Of the Ohio.
The home Of General William
Henry Harrison at North Bend,
which he maintained all through the
years of his public services and to
which he retired when in private
life, was really in part a log cabin.
One who was a guest there in 1916
describes it as a long, rambling
structure, part two stories in height,
but mostly but one story, with the
wide front facing the Ohio river,
from which it stood back about 800
yards.
There were nine ooms in all on
the ground floor, and one Of these
"a large one-was the log portion,
it evidently having been originally
q log cabin standing by itself, but
the owner had built additions to it
as need was felt and means permit
ted until he had quite a pretentious
country residence. The whole Of
the exterior had been covered with
clapboards-sawed boards being too
expensive in those days-and the
clapboards were painted white.
Seen from the river at the bend, it
is said to have presented a very
beautiful aspect, the white building
in its setting of green in summer
being particularly striking.
In this log cabin portion of his
residence General Harrison often
entertained companies Of friends,
and cider was the beverage used at
these dinners. This hospitality was
famous just prior to the presiden-
tial campaign in which he led the
Wings, and the contest became
known in political history as the log
cabin and hard cider campaign.
After the. death Of President
Harrison Mrs. Harrison returned to
the old home at North Bend and
there spent the rest of her life.
General Harrison owned a large
farm, and it was managed by his
son-in-law, Colonel W. H. Fl. Tay-
lor.
Mrs. Harrison, who was a daugh-
ter of Judge J. G. Symmes and was
born in New Jersey, lived to be
eighty-nine years old, her death oc.
curing in 1864, near the close OF
the civil war. Her body lies buried
beside that of her distinguished hus-
band in the soil of the old farm,
where in all probability a suitable
monument will soon be erected by
the Joint efforts Of the nation and
the state of Ohio.-Columbus Dis

THE STORY OF CYPRUS.
An island With an Amazing Career a
Romance and Change.

An island With an Amazing Career q
Romance and Change.
Checkered and romantic has been
the story of Cyprus since the days
when King Richard Occur de Lion
conquered the island from the Em-
peror Isaac of Constantinople, whe
had behaved discourteously to the
Lady Berengaria of Navarro, whom
the king subsequently married IN
the chapel of the castle at LimasoL-
These things happened more than
sever centuries ago.
King Richard sold the island to
the Templars. They could not pay
the full price, and so Cyprus came
back to King Richard, who gave is
to Guy of Lusignan, the dispossesa-
ed king of Jerusalem. Thus Cyprua,
the island of Aphrodite Anadyom-
enc and of St. Barnabas, became an
outpost Of Latin civilization in the
Levant and one of the most impsr-
tant trading centers Of the middle
ages.
The story of the island from
1900 to 1870 is one of the most
e%xtravagant pages Of history. The
wealth and pride Of the mobiles,
coupled with a delicious climate and
lovely surroundings, promoted q
fabulous luxury and an amazing
feudal ~insolence. The kings who
for centuries chung to the shadow
title of the lost Jerusalem we're
twice crowned, once in Nicosia for
Cyprus and once in Famagusta for
Jerusalem. Their court was crowd
ed by the bearers of picturesque IT,
ties dating from the crusades-
princes of Galilee and Antioch,
counts Of Jaffa and Odessa; their
tempers were hot and their morals
loose, but they erected splendid
buildings-great cathedrals, the Ab-
hey of Bella Paise and we'll placed
castles-and during the days of the
Lusignans Cyprus was more impor-
tant in the eyes of. the world than
ever it was before or since. This
exotic royalty failed at last, and
the island fell into the hands Of
Venice.
The Venetians starved the island
of its revenues and dismantled its
castles. Finally in 1870 it was con-
quered by Sultan Selim the Sot
for the sake of its rich wine, and
the gallant Venetian, Marcantonio
Bragadino, who held Famagusta
valiantly for St. Mark, was betray-
ed after an honorable. surrender to
Lala Mustafa. His skin, stuffed
with straw, was for a time used as
a masthead ensign by his cruel con-
querors and was finally sold to bis
family.
The Ottoman finished what tho
Venetians had begun. BE closed
Famagusta to commerce and built
Larnaca in it's stead, but to all in
tents and purposes Cyprus was neg
]ected and oppressed until the Brit
ish made themselves responsible for
it's proper administration in 1878.-

Wrong Lawyer.

A. briefess lawyer not long past
his bar examinations was waiting
for business when a farmer drop
ped in.
"say, young man, 1 see by the
sign outside that you're a lawyer"
was the salutation. The brietiess
lawyer looked very wise and nodded
his head.
"Well, if you're a lawyer you can
tell me something. If l sell a man
a horse and he gives me a promis-
sorry note in payment and he doesn't
pay up his note can l go to his barn
and take his horse away?"
"You certainly can't" said the
lawyer. "You'n have to sue him to
recover the value of the note?"
Cant, eh? Well, I guess III get
another lawyer. I've done IT,

,e,l.nd's Hot Springs.

The hot springs in Reykjadal,
though not the most magnificent,
are perhaps the most curious among
the numerous phenomena of this
sort in Iceland. On entering the
valley you see columns of vapor as
cending from different parts of it.
There are a number Of apertures in
a sort of platform Of rock. The
water is 212 degrees F., and it rises
two or three feet into the air. A
river flows through the valley, in
the midst of which a jet of boiling
water issues with violence. from a
rock raised but a few feet above
the ice cold water Of the river.
Not far from this is the grotto or
cave of Surt, which is so large that
no one has penetrated to its inner
end.

Zsno's Paradox.

Many persons will recall the IA
nous paradox Of Zeno by which he
sought to prove that all motion is
impossible.
"a body" be argued, "must move
either in a place where it is or in Q
place where it is not. Now, a body
in the place where it is is station
airy and cannot be in motion, nor,
obviously, can it be in motion in the
place where it is not; therefore it
cannot move at ALL"
Bodies do move, however, and
that is a sufficient answer to the in
genious philosopher.
