CRUSHING A NATION.
The Cambray League and the Fall Of
the Venetian Republic.

10 SdHpFdy League ana the r all OF
the Venetian Republic.
The League of Cambray was the po-
litical combination of continental Eu-
rope in 1903 against the Venetian re-
public, which tore from the Queen of
the Adriatic" her respondent crown
and forced to her lips the cup of deep
est humiliation.
Back of the league and causing its
formation were jealousy, ambition and
the desire of Gripping the proud peo-
envy Of the world. Too powerful to be
overthrown by any single power, it
was resolved that Venice should be
crushed by the combined forces of all
Europe.
During the terrible days of Attila.
about A. D. 453, Venice was founded
out among the lagoons Of the Adriatic,
where it was felt, safety would be
found from the ravages of the Hun.
The history of the thousand years from
| the foundation of the city to the year
1903 reads like magic. Rising from the
waves. Venice became the wonder of
the world Her navy cut the waters
of every known sea. Her merchants
were the greatest ON earth. Her bank
was the financial center of the world.
And for more than ten centuries did
Venice remain the glory of the world,
the center of wealth, opulence and
power. the home of culture and intel
ligence, the hearthstone about which
sat the finest Of the intellectual graces
and Inequalities, and such she might
have remained but for the League of
Cambray, which, with its overwhelm-
ing forces, gave her the blow lat Ag-
nadello in 1909 from which it was i'm
possible for her to recover.-Exchange

Jerusalem has been a Mohammedan
possession uninterruptedly since 1887
A, D., when the famous Saladin re-
captured it from the crusaders. They
had held it, under Godfrey de Bouillon
and his successors, since 1899, when
the crusade for the retaking Of the
holy sepulcher from the Mosems was
successful. The view Of Jerusalem
shows the mosque of Omar, the domed
building a little to the left of center;
the separate picture is that Of the
Church of the Holy Seplucher.

Cocoanut Oil Fine
 For Washing Hair

I you want to keep your hair in good condition, be careful what you wash it with.
 Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and is very harmful. Just plain mulsified cocoanut oil (which is pure and entirely grease 1ess), is much better than the most ex- pensive soap or anything else you can use for shampooing, as this can't pos- sibly injure the hair.
 Simply moisten your hair with water and rub it in. One or two teaspoonfuls will make an abundance of rich, creamy father, and cleanses the hair and scalp thoroughly. The father rinses out easily, and removes every particle of dust, dirt, dandruf and excessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves it fine and silky, bright, fluffy and easy to manage.
 You can get mulsifed cocoanut of at most any drug store. It is very cheap, and a few ounces is enough to last everyone in the family for months.

THRIFT DAY TIME
 FOR SELF ANALYSIS
By G. Y. CLEMENT.

By G. Y. CLEMENT.
 Spending money on thrift day can be just as truly practice of thrift as is saving.
 The individual who puts off going to the dentist with a view of saving money and thinks that he or she Is practicing thrift is really thriftless.
 Today it is commonly known that Gecayed tooth can so undermine the bodily health that general inefficlency becomes as. surely apparent as IS the law of gravitaton. The expenditure of a few dollars for the repair Of that tooth may represent the most bene- ficial thrift act that can be practiced.
 A person can be so stinted in under standing the true practice of thrift that he will stow away a few saved dollars while his eyes suffer and de- teriorate day by day for the want of proper glasses. Investment in pair of glasses might easily represent the greatest act of thrift and conservation that the individual has before him.
 Here and there we see man so pc nurious and short-sighted in his inn agined practice of thrift that he fails to properly clothe himself in conform ity with environment and position. He thinks that he is saving money. The purchase of an overcoat and suit of clothes represents to him an expense instead of an investment. This fellow is not thrifty. He is like the man who, holding pennies in front of his eyes, could not see the dollars beyond The true practice of thrift includes it may be said, above ali things-intel- ligent spending.
 Thrift day, February 3, can well be considered as an especially appro- priate day for annual stock-taking.
 Look around you. See how other people are getting ahead!
 The truly balanced individual is nei- ther penurious nor miserly. He gets 1 a broad, full conception of thrift from his observation of others. He notes that really thrifty people associate to- gether-that they have similar amuse ments-that tbeir relaxation is sane that instead of avoiding the subject of thrift, it is topic of general dis cussion.
 These thrifty people have in theil vocabularies such words as "con- servation,'' "saving,'' efficiency, study" "co-operation'-and all o those better ideas which represent the greatest constructive force in our civ. ilization,
 Thrift day represents a. day to act to eXecute-to start certain wheels il motion-to begin a helpful habit.
