CHINESE ARE DRILLED HERE
Refugees From Mexico, Given Asylum
at Columbus, N. NJ, Formed Into
Regiment by Army Officer.

A Chinese regiment is being drilled
In the United States which could un.
swer call to the colors at any time.
The regiment is composed of the Chi
nese refugees from Mexico who ac-
companied General Fershing's troops
out of the Southern republic. AS the
exclusion act prohibited them from
being admitted to the United States.
they were given asylum at Columbus.
N. NJ, and are being fed by the Chi
nese relief society formed by the Chi
nese tongs of San Francisco.
AS these Chinese refugees have no
work to do they have been formed into
military companies by Major Parker
Of the local military command, and
they are put through daily drills, using
sticks for guns. The Chinese have be-
come proficient in the manual Of arms
and the more simple drills and make
presentable appearance while at

BASIS OF MODERN STATUTES
Common Law Grew Up Gradually
From Old Maxims and Customs
Antedatino Art Of Printing.

Common law Is the basis upon which
our modern statutes are built. Com
mon lay generally is based upon the
English common law which was used
by the early settlers. This English.
common law grew up gradually from
Did maxims and customs which were
practiced previous to the time of print
Ing, or, to use the quaint legal phrase,
"time whereof the memory of man
runneth not to the contrary"
Many of these customs originated in
the old feudal days. and concern the.
relationships between lords and vas
sals. The more powerful Il lord was
the better able he was to see that
those customs were enforced which,
best suited his purposes. and in this
way the law became established. AS
the social order changed, the common
law changed with it. With the ad-
vance In civilization these changes
were preserved In written form, and
the unwritten or common law, COM
bined with the changes and additions
made in 1t by the various acts Of par
lament, became the law Of the land.

Boston's Historic Hill.

Copps hill was the most northerly OF
the three hills which were the distin-
gushing feature of Boston at the time
of its settlement. At one time it was
known as Windmill hill, from the fact
that at one time big mill stood on the
summit. Later 1t was known us Snow
hill. The name COpps hill is supposed
to have come from William Copp, q
cObbler, who lived on his own home
stead near the hill. Copps hill was the
second burying ground which was es-
tablished in the town on the summit of
the hill where the old mill had stood.
1t was first used for interments in 1860,
and for long time was known as the
"Old North burying ground" The old
est inscription it contains, dated Au-
gust Is, 1862, purpOrting to commemor-
ate the deaths of John Thwing in 1920
and Grace Berry, In 1925, both some
years before the founding Of the col
ony, are thought to have been altered
by some mischievOus boy with his
knife. 1t Is related that the British SOL
diers. while occupying the burying
ground as military station, used the
gravestOnes for targets and marks of
the bullets were visible for years after
the revolution.

Kingdom Of Israel.

The kingdom Of Israel lasted several
hundred years. during which there
were more than twenty kings, begin
ming with Saul, who reigned from 1895
b. c. to 1855 b. c.; followed In success
sion by David. Solomon and others to
Zedekiah, who became king 597 B. G.
Saul, the first Of the line, was chosen
and anOinted as king by the prophet
Samuel, who also designated David as
Saul's successor. The Office was not
strictly hereditary. but was supposed
to spring from divine authority. Ali
of the kings are mentioned by name in
the Biblical book of Kings.

Fiscal Years.

Fiscal year means the treasury year
or period for which government APP
preparations and reports are made, and
accounts are rendered. The govern
nent fiscal year in Great Britain and
in Gerraany ends March 81; in the
United States on June 30, and in
France or December 80. As II. always
relates to government finances, 1t might
be called the financial year. The word
fiscal is derived from the Latin fiscus,
u basket, and may relate to some re-
mote period of primitive simplicity
when money basket served as gov
ernmept treasury. Since the orgnniza-
ton OF the United States government
the tenn fiscal year has meant from
June 30 of one year to July 1 of the
next year. i

New GIazier's Hammer.

For setting panes of glass in window
and other frames, a hammer is avail
able which facilitates the work by
giving glazier perfect freedom in
driving points, and also lessons the liza
bility Of accidental breakage, says
Popular Mechanics Magazine. The
tool is but little heavier than an Ordi-
nary tack-hammer and provided with
o double-faced head of trapezoidal
form.
Because Of the shape Of the faces,
which have angular sides, the handle
Of the tool slants away from the fiat
surface of the glass when being used,
thus permitting a workman to strike
the points squarely and without diff

True contentment.

Let us learn to be content with what
we have. Let us get rid Of our false
estimates, set up all the higher ideals
"a quiet home; vines Of our own
planting; a few books full of the In
spiration of genius; few friends
worthy of being loved and able to love
us in turn; hundred innocent pleas
ures that bring no pain or sorrow; a
devotion to the right that will never
swerve; simple religion empty OF
all bigotry, full of trust and hope and
love; and to such philosophy this
world will give up all the empty JOY

ISLAND CAPITAL is PRETTY
Under French Regime Antananarivo Is
Becoming One Of Most Beautiful
Of African Cities.

Antananarivo, which is the capital
of the Island Of Madagascar, of the
coast of Africa. has a splendid situa-
ti9n and under the French regime bids
fair to become one of the most beauti-
full of African cities. 1t is located
in one Of the upland plains, which are
the granaries of Madagascar, at an ele-
vation of more than 5000 feet above
sea level. The city occupies high,
narrow, rocky ridge, rising sharply
about 600 feet above the pale green
spread of the rice fields. Its splendid
stone churches, government buildings.
schools and colleges are finely set Off
by this situation. Excellent streets
connect all parts of the town that are
accessible to vehicles, and stone stair
ways scale the sleeper hills. There is
beautiful public square, terraced and
filled with trees and flowers.
Long before the French came to.
Madagascar Antananarivo was thu
principal village of the Hova chiefs
The HOvas were the strongest tribe
of the native Malagasy race and they
slowly conquered the greater part of
Madagascar, forming it into native
kingdom, which was rapidly advancing
toward sort Of civilization. Antan-
annrivo became city of $4,000 people.
built of rushes and wood, with n great
wooden palace upon its highest hill.
A unique civilization might have
been developed by the Hovas had not
France invaded Madagascar. She Con
quered the natives in the war of 1882
and finally took over the entire island
as colony. 1t was regarded as
high-handed proceeding and for time
1t worked great hardship on the ma
tives. but in the long run their lot has
been greatly improved.

Kidney Diseases,

Nearly all diseases of the kidneys
are due to salt. If you are suffering
with" or 'frOm" your kidneys, the
first thing to do Is to smash all your
medicine bottles; cut out salt and
sugar from your meals and go on the
fruit-cereal diet. Steamed asparagus
ls the best thing in the world for your
kidneys and bladder. Parsley is good
for victims of kidney diseases; so also
Is water cress In the form Of salad
but no salt! One should not eat too
freely of parsley. Parsley will aid the
eyesight by restoring the kidneys to
their proper function; but overdoses
OF parsley damage the vision. Pears
are the very best of fruit for victims
of Kidney disease. But no matter the
nature or the name of your Kidney
disease, you can get over 1t by follow
Ing the instructions.-LOs Angeles

EACH HAS ONE PECULIARLY

Spouse, 10 Belief That She Can Go
Out In Rain and Not Get Wet.

ut Is my observation" said Mr.. Bill
tops. "that we all of us. have, CON
seiously or uncOnsciously, some one
popularity In which our friends must
indulge US. M
"Now take Mrs. Billtops; the gen.
tlest, the most forbearing the most
serenely patient person on the face
of the earth. You wouldn't think that
Mrs. Billtops had any strange notion
In which she must be humored. But
she has just one, the same being that
1t is possible to carry an umbrella over
her In such manner us to shelter
her completely. In this notion I
humOr her as far as can. but know
that whenever we go anywhere in the
rain am in for trouble.
Il hold the umbrella way over on
her side, always protecting her hat as
far as possible, and calmly letting the
rain drip down on my own hat and
shoulder, but no matter how 1 carry
1t 1 simply cannot carry it to suit her.
l always carry 1t wrong in some way,
not far enough over or too high or
too low.
"'Can't you see that it's crushing
my featherT Mrs. Billtops says to me
in tone low but of great concentra-
tion, at which raise the umbrella a
little, and then a moment later:
"'Don't you see that the rain is
blowing in on my hatT she says, and
then hold it little lower again, and
1 keep right on all the time doing the
best know how, though the simple
fact is that no man living could
shelter any woman completely ppder
an umbrella unless he had one as big
as the dome Of the capitol at Wash
ingtOn.
ut is a time of trial when I 60 out
with Mrs. Billtops with an umbrella,
its elimination coming after we get
home, when she shakes her cont and
her skirts and says: I am just soak
ing! But 1t is soon over after that.
You might think that these occa-
siOns would be dread to me, but the
fact is quite to the contrary; for it Is
by these little human lapses on Mrs.
BilltOp's part that I am made to
realize more fully and gratefully the
blessing of her all but perennial Sc
renity."
