Historic Roumanian City.

Craiova. in Roumania. was the Gas.
ira Nova of the Romans during their
occupation of Dacia. and in the middle
ages the place played an important
role. It was here that the Wallachian
prince Mircea the Old defeated the
Turkish sultan Bayezid I. in 1897. Two
Anndred years later the most famous
Of Wallachia's chieftains, Michael the
Brave, held sway here as "ban," or
governor, afterward becoming prince
not only of Wallachia, but of Moldavia
and Pennsylvania as well, thus for a
brief period uniting under one ruler
the whole Roumanian people.
The leu, which is the standard of
value in Roumania, was first coined
In Craiova. 1t derives its name from
the figure of a lion stamped on the
early coins. Its value is equal to that

quently referred to in legal documents.
In every process OF ejectment, instead
of the real parties to the suit being
named, John Doe, plaintiff, sued Rich
ard Roe, defendant. Their names were
also inserted IN criminal proceedings.
This fiction was introduced into Eng
lish legal practice In the time OF Ed
ward ILL.,, in consequence, it was said,
of provision IN Magma Charta which
required the production Of witnesses
before every criminal trial, and hence
forth John Doe and Richard Roe were
inserted as the names Of the alleged

A WelI Hated Landlord.

The most hated landlord in Ireland
for the last 100 years, miser known
as "the parsimonious peer" was HUI
bert George de Burgh Canning, mar
quis of Clanricarde. He was unmar-
ried, and with his death the marquis
ate became extinct. His Irish estate
extended from Athenry, in Galway, to
Woodford, twenty miles southeast and
it was said that anywhere along this
route could be obtained story OF trag-
edy in the land war. Time and again
the aid of the forces Of the crown In
evicting tenants had been refused. He
was never seen in a vehicle. He took
daily wallis to Regents park. There,
ON a public seat, not one Of the chairs,
for which he would have been charged
a small fee, would sit this owner OF
10000 acres watching the squirrels. He
was a noted collector Of china and pic
lures, Of which he was a wise buyer

Soan an Antiseptic,

Some medical authorities, explaining
the abatement of epidemic diseases
in modern years, are sufficiently free
from professional ties to attribute this
betterment Of conditions not to med
fcal science. lN!t to the increased use
of ss.i... u,.l water. The Homeopathic
Envoy is OF Inc opinion that with a
clean Louise and q clean person no one
need have much fear of infection. A
writer in the New York Medical Rec
ord says: "Soap is now recognized to
be antiseptic and to be efficacious must
produce lather. Bacteria rubbed into
soap or dropped on its surface are In
capable of multiplication. The typhoid
bacillus is very sensitive to soap, being
killed by a per cent solution in a
short time. More than half the total
number will die in one minute. The
thorough use Of a pure potash soap is
not only a mechanical method of cleans
ing, but is an active factor in cutting
down germ life"

The Arabic Language.

Though the Arabs number less than
the population of London, their Ian
guage is one of the most widely spoken
and influential in the world, for it is
the language Of the Koran. Seventy
millions of people in Asia and north
Africa speak some form of Arabic as
their vernacular, and quite as many
more know something of the language
from the Koran, which, in the original,
is a textbook in the day schools of the
Mohammedans from Turkey to Afghan
istan and New Guinea. Nor is Arabic
unwo rthy Of this extensive use. Renan,
after expressing his surprise that such
q language should spring from the des-
ert regions of Arabia and reach perfec-
ton in nomadic camps, declares that it
surpasses all its sister Semitic Ian
guages in richness of vocabulary, deli
cacy of expression and the logic Of
fits grammatical Observation-Disclosures

Sacrificed Their Hats.

Many years ago the master butchers
of Washington market, in New York
city, used to kick their hats about the
market at the close of business on Sat
urday night. Under the custom in the
market it was considered a sighting OF
the profession for any butcher not to
appear behind his counter with high
hat, and it was thought bad taste If the
meat seller at the end of prosperous
week failed to destroy the hat The
apprentice butchers couldn't afford silk
headgear and so used to gather up the
broken hats and repair them for their
own use.

Liberty Loan Meeting

The patriotic meeting held at the

not as numerously attended as we had
hoped might be the case. There were
not more than twenty-five adults pres
ent and the rest were boys and girls of
the schools. Splendid addresses were
made by Judge Black and Horace
Potter. We want to compliment those
who were there. old and young. They
drank from the fountain from which
good citizenship springs and from which
proceeds the blessings of free govern
ment. Indeed, our government has
been SO free and the blessings of our
country so prodigal that many have
ceased to realize they owe any
considerable obligation to it. But let
free government perish and through
centuries. perhaps. of autocratic rule
the people would realize their loss Ir
that event it would be not a case OF
loaning on the best security in the
world, but of yielding whatever ar
overbearing, uuproductive, arrogant
aristocracy might demand. Is it true
