A DOCTOR AND A THRONE.
How E%nsIand's Present Royal Family
Gained the Crown.


That George V. now sits on the throne
of England Is due in no small measure
to the prognosis of a seventeenth CEN
tury physician, DR.. Richard Mead, who
was born In London Aug. H., 1913.
When Queen Anne, last of the Stuart
rulers, became fatally in in liza
DR.. Mead was called in consultation.
After an examination of the stricken
queen he found that she was neal
DEATHS door, and the doctor SO in
formed the leaders of the Wing party,
with which he was affiliated.
The Wings favored the H~anoverian
succession and Immediately on learning
that Anne was soon to succumb began
to plan for the realization of their am
billions. The regular physicians of the
queen did not believe that she was so
neal to death, so when Anne breathed
her last In INA the supporters of
Anne's brother, James, We're unpre-
pared for the event. Anne's Tory min
istry was in favor Of placing James on
the throne, but the Wings, thanks to
DR.. Mead, had already taken such ac-
ton as to insure the succession of the
elector Of Hanover, and in September
George l. made his triumphal entry
into England.
DR.. Mead was rewarded by being
made physician to the new royal fam
lily. Many English historians have at
tributed large Importance to the physi-
clans Drognosis in bringing about he
succession Of the royal house which
has ruled England for two centuries

THE OLD STARCH DOES IT.
Why Collars Crack In Laundering and
How to Save Them.

Why Collars Crack In Laundering and
How to Save Them.
In laundering collars and shirts the
first thing to be done is to get the
old Starch out Of them. No amount of
washing In water, hot or cold, will
do this, for water does not dissolve
starch. Cracked collars are due to the
old starch being left in the fabric and
new starch being put on top of it.
In the words Of Wright Van Deusen
In the National Laundry Journal, the
Old starch remaining in the goods crys-
tallizes under the heat and pressure OF
the ironing machine and! puts the fiber
In a brittle condition: hence when bent
for pressing through the Finishing ma
chine it cracks. Remove the old starch.
and, with the uniform consistency of
everything that is good in new starch,
the collar will be so pliable that it can
be bent between finger and thumb with
little danger of damage"
The remedy is very simple, 1t is
that used by most of the largest collar
manufacturers-the dissolving of the
old starch with a liquid malt extract
called diastase. This turns the starch
Into sugar and takes it out of the fab
ric. One laundry in Troy handles 275,-
GOO dozen collars a week and has SO
few broken collars that 1t pays it's in
spectOrs q bonus Of 21a cents for each
one found.

The coal cart driver is natures most
wonderful dialectician. He knows all
the profane branches Of his mother
tongue. When a coal cart driver OBJ
strqets a motorman it is fifty-flfty
which insults courtesy most. The pa
pers never mention it because cold print
cannot reproduce fervor.
The coal cart driver treats diamonds
with disrespect and has no favors for
mi%llionaires. Why should one kotow
who sits upon n dusty fortune? Never!
And he losses coal into your cellar as il
1t were worth no more than Irish pota-
toes or automobiles.
Still, for the coal cart driver we have
some veneration. At least he is not up
pish, at least he Is democratic, at least
he mingles without pride and does not
wear q wrist watch.-Richmond Times

new SLANG WHICH is OLD.
chaucer Said "come Off," and Shake
speare Wrote GOOD Niqht.n

SF~N 'S'
A new slang phrase is sprung and
sweeps the country. If it is apt and
pat you will hear it on the street, from
the pulpit and in the schoolroom. Then,
apparently without reason, its vogue
v%anishes, and it is added to the worlds
collection of antiquities.
Perhaps n reason why a new slang
expression is short lived is because
some investigator finds that it really Is
not new, but merely a revival of a
phrase which in its day was not slang
at all. 1t has remained for Professor
r. p. Utter in Harper's Magazine to
throw light on the expression Good
night! y meaning finality. The vaude-
vile entertainers who first used it,
thinking they were %originators, should
be a trifle crestfalIen to find that it
belongs to one William Shakespeare.
Get out Part I. Of Henry "" You
will read there:
If he fall in, good night! Or sink or
swim.
But that isn't all. Come off, and
"Go sit down" have had their day, but
we all thought they were new until
Professor Utter found them both in
Chaucer.
And mot in ii" and "Cut it out"
both striking American slang phrases,
come from English literature of the
highest type. Shakespeare used mot
in it," and Richard Brinsley Sheridan
Incorporated ''Cut it out" i'm one of his
plays.

Sonq of the Brown Thrasher.

When the brown thrasher starts to
sing one might just as well listen, as
he will be heard. and every other bird
might just as well keep still, as moth
ing else can be heard. He dominates
the entire vicinity. He is ON the stage
in the middle of the spotlight. His
performance is dramatic. 1t is comic
opera at its best. The brown thrasher
is more commonly known. probably, as
the brown thrush or sometimes as the
cinnamon thrush, but as the bird does
not belong to the thrush family he
should be given his proper name. he
is n cousin of the catbird and the mock.

MAN AND THE APES.
And the Anatomical Flaws In the
Theory of Evolution.


Theory of Evolution.
DR.. Mattoon Nj. Curtis. professor of
philosophy in Western Reserve univer-
sity, protests in Il letter to Science
against the assertion, still common in
current scientific literature, that man
is a descendant of the anthropoid apes.
He quotes Professor Duckworth, the
leading authority in this field, who
wrote in his "Moiphology and Anthro-
pology:'
1--WE must conclude that the exist
ing %anthropoid apes, constituted as
they now are, did not figure in the
ancestral history of man"
And he points out some of the fun
damental differences between man and
the apes. differences which defy any
theory of evolution to explain. Among
these differences are those in the form
of the skulls, the shape of the most
ancient sk'ttls that have been found
being substantially the same as the
shape of the skulls of today.
Professor Curtis pleads that sound
science and sound education be based
upon actual facts and such theories as
grow u of them rather than upon
mere ~Speculations.
