Ships Coins.

A superstition among seafaring men
Is that coin should be placed be-
meath the mainmast of a newly built
ship. The coin should be of gold,
though in pinch silver will do. The
coin should bear the date of the year
the ship is built and before being placed
beneath the mast it is carefully wrap
per in cotton. Its resting place is the
stepping Of the mainmast.
Dealers in coins are aware of this
long-continued practice, and the re-
suit is that when an old ship is bro
ken up, especially abroad, there is al
ways on hand company of coin deal
ers desirous of obtaining the coin. It
is said that in this way one collector
obtained specimen of the rare Ameri-
can dollar of the mintage of 1904,
which has commanded high premium
for many years.

SPOT ON NAP0LE0N's RECORD
Ultimate Failure Dimmed the Glory Of
Great Soldiers Early Wonderful
Successes In the Field.

The military genius of Bonaparte is
still fruitful theme for discussion. In
the early part of his career he achieved
such successes as made his name a
terror to Europe, and gained for him
a prestige which series Of continu-
GUS and overwhelming defeats In the
latter part of his history was unable
to destroy. But in the game of war,
results alone can form the criterion,
and the victories Of Marengo, Auster-
litz and Wagram can scarcely be adj
mitted in compensation for the blum
ders Of the Russian campaign and the
overthrow at Waterloo.
One qualification of a great general
was conspicuous in his character, the
capacity of recognizing and rewarding
merit In whatever position 1t might be
found. Favorltism was almost un-
known In his army. He was of cold
blooded temperament, engrossed ex-
clusively by the master-passlon ambi-
tion, and the very cause which kept
his moral purity inviolate made him
almost insenslble to the promptings Of
love and affection.

HOLD SWORD SACRED THING
German Officer Said to Lose Commits
sion II He Should Be Parted From
Weapon by Force.

officers in Germany are supposed to
have feeling almost of sacredness
about their swords, and I think, In
point Of fact, officers in most countries
have. / have been told that if any
officer loses his sword by force he
loses his commission as an officer. 1
do not vouch for this statement.
I was told about the penalty for
losing a sword many years before the
war, in Dresden, to excuse an officer
whom saw behave in the most bru-
tai manner. He was on the back plat
form of an old-fashioned street car
which was going very fast. Some man
In the street ran and tried to jump on
the car, and in taking hold of the rail
got hold of the handle of the officers
sword. Without the slightest feeling
as to whether the man would be seri-
ously hurt or not, the officer beat and
pounded this mans hands until he was
forced to let go and drop into the
street. But what a German officer does
is always considered right, anyway,
and no one dares to complain.-Neville
Taylor Gherardi (wife of former Unit
ed States naval attache at Berlin) in

HAWK DESTRUCTIVE TO TREES
Birds Unvaryne Diet Of Fish S. oner
or Later Causes Death Through
Accumulations of Grease.

Random bits of curious knowledge
often come the way of persons who
live in the summer time close by the
oceans edge. One gets to know, for
instance, such things as why hawk
nests so often are seen in dead trees.
It is not that the hawk, in seeking
home site, by choice picks a dead
tree in which to build its lest of rwigs
and things; on the contrary, 1t inva-
riably selects a live one. The Head
tree is the effect, not the cause Of the
hawks preference.
9 Hawks of the kind considered here
live exclusively on fish. Fish are
oily, and so 1t follows that after a
few thousand have been dissected and
eaten in a nest the tree inhabited by
hawk family becomes discouraged
and abandons the struggle.
After hawks have used a lofty
bough as a dining room for two or
three years tree becomes so greasy
that leaves find 1t impossible to hold
on. The oil slowly makes its way to
the roots, covering them and making
the absorbing of water from the earth
out of the question. Deprived of oxy-
gen, having no leaves through which
to breathe it in, and Of water, because
its roots are greased like Labor day
pig, the tree gets discouraged and
gives up the fight.

TOWN THRIvEs ON TOURISTS
oban, Scottish Summer Resort, Prae.
tlcaIIy Supported by Enthusiastic
Visitors Who Buy Souvenirs.

Oban is a Scottish town that exist
almost entirely for the benefit Of &
tourist. Every other house in Oh
is boarding house or hotel, al
buildings that have escaped this fat
are used as shops where the traveller i
enticed into buying beautiful plato
tartan for which he has no use, cl
Scotch pebbles which are guaranteed
to be highly ornamental in the parloI
cabinet.
If you have Scotch ancestor ObaI
is the place to resurrect him. All the
plaids of Scotland and few besides
are in the Oban shops. If your ances.
tors cannot be located in the Scotci
"Who's Who" Of the past, any oblig
shoplseeper will unblinkingly proc
a plaid which fits the name Of so
kinsman and which matches your /
brary carpet. ..
If you stroll through the quiet stree
to the top Of a hill you can see O.
at its best. The water of the bay is
shiningly blue that you at once =,
solve to take trip to one of the tin
islands dotting the smooth expanse
The roads that climb the Scotch hills
so easily are edged with close-trimmec
hedges, and the cottages are cloaked j.
glossy and picturesque ivy.
OFF to one side is great circuIaI
edifice not unlike Roman circus. This,
your hostess informs you on your re-
turn, is "McCaigs Folly" If you are
still curious you will be told the story
of old eccentric McCaig, who had this
useless, antique-looking structure built
at great expense to himself and to the
vast amusement OF his fellow citizens.
Winter is the quiet time in Oban
Then there are no enthusiastic
strangers to buy expensive souvenirs
or to hire boats for trips around tho
bay. The town is gloomy and desert
ed. The women are indoors weaving
plaids for the coming summer, and the
men are out on the bay hard at work
with the fishing feet.-Chicago Daily

WHERE TAXES ARE UNKNOWN
Some Few Places on Earth's Surface
That Would Seem Ideal Spots
In Which to Locate.

In these days of expensive living
what q boon to live in city without
taxes! But there are such places.
There is Orson in Sweden. This
municipality has it's ordinary city ex-
penses, but it imposes no taxes. More
over, the local railway is free to every
citizen and there is no charge for tele-
phone service, schools, libraries and
the like.
All this is due to the wisdom Of
former generation, who planted trees
on all the available ground, with the
result that during the past thirty
years the town authorities have sold
$5,000,000 worth Of young trees and
timber, while judicious replantings
have provided for a similar income in
the future.
Then there Is Mourmalon, In the
Midi, France. Here not only are there
no taxes, but the timbers on the COM
munal lands are sufficient to grant
each person a small annuity.
Nearer home we have the island of
Innishmurray, off the west coast of
Ireland. Here there are no taxes, sim
ply because the fourteen families who
live on the island resolutely refuse to
pay. In a report to the local govern
ment board rate collector stated that
he could not get boat on the main
land to take him to the islnnd on such
an errand as collecting rates.--London

MADE SACRIFICE OF RULERS
Somewhat Remarkable Form Of LIN.
tied Monarchy Was That PraotIced
by Tribe Of the Caucasus.

"At a certain stage of social evolu-
tlon," says Sir James Frazer In his
article entitled "rhe Killing of the
Khazar Kings" "not a few races ap-
pear to have been In the habit of put
ting their kings to death, either at
the end Of fixed term, or on the
failure of the kings health and
strength. or simply whenever great
public calamity, such as drought or
famine had befallen the country"
Among tribes which have practiced
this remarkable form of limited mon
archy must be included the Khazars
or Khozars. For some nine hundred
years this now almost forgotten tribe,
from their home in the spurs Of the
Caucasus and along the western shore
Of the Casplan--called after them the
Sea of the Khazars-played a great
part in history on the European,Asian
borderland. It Is certainly remark
able that people which had reached
such a high level of civilization and
culture should have practiced legalized
regclde. But the evidence collected
by Sir James Frazer from very wide
survey Of medieval literature leaves
no doubt on the matter.

a natural and normal instinct to
crave the love Of ones fellows. We
must all Of us have our friendships,
for we are socially constituted. zone
man is no man." Every man needs
to be constantly refreshed and In
sDlred by contact with the associates
Of the intellectual life, the comrades
Of the spirit, and should always keep
on hand some real friends, as dis
tingulshed from mere chance ac-
quaintances. There must be at least
one In a hundred OF the people we
meet who is fitted to be our brother.
When found, such a helpmate In In
tellectual things becomes dynamic
force for blessing In our lives. II is
easier to be good when such friend
is with us--nor is such helper ever
really absent. We should locate our

then love them as we do ourselves,
so realizing the full blessedness OF

A discovery recalling early Canad.
ian history has been made at farm
in the village of Thamesville, Ont,
where bones were dug up which may
be those of the Indian Chief Tecum-
sch, who fell fighting for the British
in 1918. With the skeleton were metal
military buttons and a pistol Of the
type then used. There are most trust
worthy reports that the chief had been
buried close to this place.
Tecumseh, Shawnee chief, fought
with the British during the invasion of
Canada by the Americans In 1912 and
1913. A man Of great energy and de-
clsion, he was entrusted with many
minor enterprises, and was finally
killed In battle, when his body was
treated with great indlgnlty.
