HapSburg Rose i'm Switzerland.

The Hapsburgs, or Habsburgs, of
whom the Emperor Francis Joseph
was the head, derived their name
from the castle of Habichtsburg, or
Hawks castle, in the Swiss canton
of Aargau. In the 18th century the
family became one of the most pow
erful in Swabia. Rudolf 3rd was
elected Emperor of Austria in the
following century. While thus eX-
tending their possessions and acquir-
ing influence the Hapsburgs lost their
original family possessions, which
were gradually absorbed by the can
tons. Some 35 years ago the Aus
trians proposed to purchase the castle
of Hapsburg and give it as wedding
gift to the crown prince of Austria,
but the people of Aargau refused to
hear of the sale.-London Globe.

Passing it Down the Line.

One mistake often leads to another
and sometimes to a third-as it
does in a story that the Secretary of
War told in the course of an address
not long ago when he was speaking
of United States army regulations.
One hot day recently a private sat
in a train with his tunic unbuttoned.
Presently sergeant strobe up to him
and said: Button up that tunic!
Did you ever hear of bylaw 217, sub
section D? I'm Sergt. Winterbottom. ~
A gentleman in the seat behind
tapped the sergeant sternly on the
shoulder. How dare you issue Or
ders," he said, with a pipe in your
mouth. Go home and read paragraph
ia, section NJ, part TX. l am Major
Carroll"
At that a gentleman with droop-
ing white mustache interposed from
the other side of the aisle. "If Major
Carroll" he said coldly, will consult
bylaw 81 of section K, he will learn
that to reprimand a sergeant in the
presence of a private is an offense
not lightly to be overlooked. l am

Eight Box Cars of Coin.

Is there someone hereabouts who
can make use of eight box cars full
of money?
This unusual freight shipment
passed through Detroit the other day
and is now on siding at Sarnia,
Ont, while efforts are being made to
find somebody who can use it, to haul
it away.
The Muller Manufacturing compa-
ny, of Sarnia, filing a gun contract
for the British government, recently
contracted in Japan for a quantity of
brass. The consignment came by
way of Vancouver, through Detroit
over the Pere Marquette, and was
duly delivered.
A number of bars of the metal
were thrown into the smelter. They
wouldn't smelt Perplexed, the con-
Germs chemist cut into one of the
ingots, and made a remarkable dis
covery
Under a thin coating of brass were
several rows of Chinese coins, each
with the characteristic square hole
for stringing in the sentre. Some of
them were of the denomination
known as cash." about the size of
quarter-dollar, and supposed to be
worth one-seventeenth of cent. 9th
ers were smaller. Apparently, mol
ten brass had been poured over the
rows of coins.
Officials of the Muller company be-
lieve they have located a smelling
plant in the east with facilities to
handle the material, but new prob
lem has arisen, for the railroads have
an iron-clad rule against shipment
of coin as freight.
So it is quite likely that anyone
who thinks he can use eight carloads
of money will be able to get it at a
reasonable figure.

MANY KILLED IN AIR RAID.
Aeronauts Drop Bombs In Busy

A Town on the Southeast Coast OF
England, May 25.-Women and chill

the busiest street here waiting TO
purchase potatoes were the principal
victims of the German aeroplane RAID
last evening. Intent only on not
losing their places in the line, the
women and children had little warn
ing of the raid and were easy victims
Of the air vultures who dropped their
deadly bombs indiscriminately.
The raid, which claimed the lives
of seventy-six persons and caused IN
Jury to ITS others, proved more dead
" than any raid which the Zeppelins
have made on England since the be
ginning of the war.

like flock of ducks, the raiders ram

block of the main thoroughfare when

MYSTERY OF HiBt,RNATION.
How Some Creatures Sleep Through,
the Winter.

II you were to dig out OF their
burrows any Of the millions OF hedge
hogs. dOrmice. marmOtS or wood
chucks. or take out from the mud at
the bottom of ponds any of the liz
yards. turtles or frogs: or take from
the crevices of rocks any Of the toads
or snakes: or pick from the roots Of
caves a bat or two of all those cling
inc there, YOU would find each one
sound asleep, and no ordinary thing
voW could do would awaken it. for
this is its long winter sleep.
This sleep is one of the greatest
mysteries Of nature. None of the
scientists can explain it. They have
been studying it lately, in different
parts of the world. with more than
usual attention, and they have dis
covered some new things about it. 1t
has always been known that in the
few weeks before the alternating
period is to begin those animals
which are to sleep through the win
ter begin to put on fat. Why is that
you may ask. No one can answer why.
BY spring fat is gone and the animal
is lean and scrawny, so it is supposed
the fat supplies energy to keep the
heart beating, although the process
of feeding and exertion are suspend
ed throughout the long sleep.
In the Ozark hills of Missouri is
huge cave wherein millions Of bats
hibernate each winter. In the fall
they come flying in clouds from all
directions and they attach themselves
to the rock roof and hang in great
clusters until spring, when they go
forth again to their summer haunts
to feed and nest and multiply.
When the woodchuck crawls into
his hole for his winters sleep he
stops breathing, but his heart beats
on, feebly, and his blood .circulates,
slowly. You may pull him out when
he is thus alternating and hold him
under water for long time and ne
will not drown, because he is not
breathing and his lungs will not tlll
with water. You may remove his
brain and his entire spinal cord, and
his heart will beat for II hours. You
NAV cut off his head and his heart
will beat three hours,
But it is possible to freeze the
rm-blooded, alternating animal to
death. If it gets too cold the animal
will begin to stir, and if it stays too
cold for a long time he will die; but
frogs have been known to have their
blood frozen to ice and yet they
lived. Mosquitoes and spiders may
be frozen so they are as brittle as
snow flakes and break to pieces when
touched, and yet they revive with
warm weather. But each freezing
and thawing their vitality lessons,
and after certain number of them
they fail to revive.
When warm weather comes the
alternating animals begin to stir and
soon come out. What strange in
stincts or impulse it is that urges the
alternating animal to put on fat for
his long sleep; that suspends breath
ing but keeps the heart pulsating
that wakes him when the weather
drops to the danger point or when it
is warm enough to come in the
spring?> That is one of the mys-
teries.

The Bravest of All.

The brayest battle that ever was

Shall | tell you where and when?
On the maps of the world you will
find it not
Twas fought by the mothers of
Nay, not with cannon or battle shot,
With a sword or noble pen;
Nay, not with eloquent words or
thought
From mouths of wonderful men,
But deep in the walled-up woman's
heart
Of woman that would not yield,
But bravely, silently bore her part
So, there is that battlefield!
No marshaling troops, no bivouac
song,
No banner to CLEAN and wave;
But, oh, these battles. they last so
long
From babyhood to the grave.
Yet, faithful still as bridge of stars,
She fights in her walled-up town
Fights on and on in the endless wars,
Then. silent, unseen, goes down.
O We with banners and battle shot,
And soldiers to shout and praise.

Were fought in those silent ways.
O spotless woman in world Of

With splendid and silent scorn,
Go back to God as white as you

Berlin POSTED BY SPIES.

DESTROIERS.
Four DAYS Before Flotilia Arrived al

Was Mined.

WASHINGTON, May -D.--F Jul oaH ,
before the American destroyer no.
tilla arrived abroad Berlin knew 1t
was on the way and to what port 1t
was going and the day before the
little vessels steamed into Queens
town German submarines had strewn
mines about the harbor entrance.
This startling information. reveal
ing that German spies not only still
are at their work in this country,
but that they have swift and sure
means of communicating America S
war secrets to the Fatherland. came
to the Navy Department today IN a
cablegram from Rear Admiral SIMS
at London.
Positive Information.
The admiral said his information
was positive. His dispatch was not
made public and for obvious reasons
nothing will be given out concerning
how the news came into his posses
sion nor about the precautions ~hlcn
defeated the German plans and ena-
bled the flotilla to speed safely
through the mine fields.
Immediate publicity was given the
salient fact. however, the department
making clear that it's purpose was 10
let the people know of the activity
and success of Teutonic spies and to
emphasize the necessity for absolute
secrecy in connection with naval OPP
perations or shipping movements.
The destroyers aiding in the hunt
for submarines in European waters
under the direction of Admiral Sims,
put into port at Queenstown on May
a. How long they were in crossing
the Atlantic or from what port they
sailed never has been announced and
until word of their arrival came by
cable only few people in the United
States even knew of the government
Q6ClS1Ou to Scuu oAShipS w
Officials Silent.
No official would comment tonight
ON the possible means by which the
news was conveyed to Germany. If II
did not go from secret wireless
plant, it must have been carried in
some code dispatch that the Allled
cable censors passed as innocent.
The result will be to redouole the
vigilance both of the censors and OF
every agency of the government en-
gagged in roofing out the spy system.
Every German known to have been
connected with the espionage work OF
his government already is under ar
rest or under surveillance. Other ar
rests may follow at any time and now
that the country is at war and the
revelation of it's secrets may mean
death to it's sailors and soldiers
swift punishment undoubtedly would
be dealt out to any convicted spy.
Different Now.
Men already in custody operated
when the United States was a neu-
trail. Spying now is very different
thing and is likely to lead to the gal
lows instead of to comfortable de-
tention quarters.
J In announcing Admiral Sims's dis
patch, the Navy Department, through
the committee on public information,
said:
The department calls attention to
this fact as proof that the German
spy system is at work in this country
making imperative the need of secre-
cy in connection with our naval oper-
ations. The premature publication OF
such movements is particularly
source of danger"

LIFT YOUR C0RNS 9

without pain.


You recklessS,1den and women who
are pestered 18th corns and who have
at least olf a week invited an awful
death from lockjaw or blood poison
are now told by Cincinnati authority
to use drug called freezone, which
the moment a few drops are applied
to any corn or callus the soreness is re-
ieved and soon the entire corn or cal
lus, root and all, lifts off with the fin
gers.
Freezone dries the moment it is ap.
piled, and simply shrivels the corn or cal.
lus without infaming or even irritating
the surrounding tissue or skin. A small
bottle of freezone will cost very little
yat any of the drug stores, but will posi-
lively rid ones feet of every hard or
soft corn or hardened callus. If your
druggist hasn't any freezone he can get
it at any wholesale drug house for you.
