MONK FIRST TO USE CORK
Discovery That ls Universally Made
Use OF Was the Result OF
Chance.

The discovery of cork for shoppers
is ascribed to the monk Don Perignon,
who managed the cellars Of the abbey
of Haut Villiers In 1875. One day he
ran short Of the usual stOppering,
which was pads of hemp or cloth
stepped in oil. and being something OF
q botanist he had noticed that the out
er layer Of the bark Of certain species
of the oak tree was of comparatively
soft wood. He procured some of this
porous material and shaped 1t so that
1t would fit into some partially fer
mented bottles Of wine.
Later on opening the bottles he
found that the effect Of the confined
carbonic acid gas which this new stop
.>er did not allow to escape acted on
the wine so as to make it effervesce.
From then on for long time 1t was
supposed that this phenomena was due
to the action of the cork on the wine,
and effervescing or kissing wine be-
came the rage. Enterprlsing mer-
chants saw the possibilities Of this
wood, and they introduced 1t for gen.
eral purposes as shoppers.

MEANING OF JAC0BITE TOAST
Glasses Raised to "the Little Gentle.
man In Velvet" Had a Peculiar
Significance Centuries Ago.

ITO the little gentleman in velvet"
was a favorite Jacobite toast In the
reign Of Queen Anne. BY "the little
gentleman in velvet" the Jacobites
meant the mole that raised the hum
mock against which the horse of King
William III (William Of Orange)
stumbled while riding in Hampton
court. The king was thrown heavily
to the ground, breaking his collar bone.
A severe illness ensued under which
the kings feeble constitution gave
way, and he died early In the year
1902. He left no children and the
crown passed to Anne, sister of Will
liam's deceased wife, Queen Mary, and
q daughter of the deposed king, James
II. 1t was the plan Of the Jacobites
to bring back to the throne James the
Pretender, son, 1t was claimed, OF
james II by his second wife, Mary OF
Modena. The execution of their plans
was not attempted until the house OF
Hanover came to the throne. The at
tempt of the Pretender James in 1715
was miserable failure, but the at
tempt of his son, Prince Charlie, In
1745, was a more formidable affair. He
collected a considerable force In Scot
land, invaded England and reached
Derby before compelled to retreat. He
was finally defeated at Culloden.

As a Man Ia Judued.

Remember, 1t Is not the kind Of work
you are going to do, but the kind of
work you now turn out that counts.
Your future Is guess forecasted only
by the present Exceptional unexpect-
ed fitness seldom appears. 1t never
happens. 1t Is a matter of growth If
it comes at all. Latent ability may
lie dormant until challenged by some
great task, but 1t will be mental
competence physically handicapped If
1t hasn't been working up to Its Job,
With the right intelligence and will
power there Is no reason why you
can't work up. You have the same
chance that has made others great. If
your mentality and skill are equal to
theirs, why can't you do what they
have done. If they are not you have
no reason to complain. When you
make your life count, obstacles and
problems will become pleasures. Men
of metal rejoice in the chance to prove
themselves.

THIJRMONT FREDERICK COUNTY, MD, THURSDAY MARCH 7,
LIFE REVOLvES ABOUT CLUBS
ence Probably Not Felt In
Any Other City.

In Havana the whole political, social
and commercial life pivots on the clubs.
They are tremendous influence In
every way. They are of all kinds, Of
all sizes, Of all degrees Of expensive
ness and exclusiveness. The largest
are the so-called "centros," which were
founded under Spanish rule, by men Of
Spanish birth, In order to furnish a
bond and a meeting place for men
from the same province Of Spain. Thus
the "Centro Gallego" was founded for
Galicans, and the "CentrO Astrulno"
for Austrians. The former of these Is
now the largest club in the world.
Besides these centros. there are nu-
merous other sorts of clubs. There are
clubs for the laborlng man, where for
$3.50 month he gets not only the So
cial and convivial privileges Of the club
house, but benefit and protective insur-
ance, night school advantages for his
family, hospital for himself, even the
services Of dentists and opticians. One
club goes so far as to maintain an
asylum. On the other hand exclusive
clubs of the conventional type are not
lacking-clubs for the rich, yacht clubs,
athletic clubs and political clubs. Hal
vana's motto seems to be: "To each
man a club according to his needs"
Practically without exception these
clubs, large and small, have housed
themselves in beautiful buildings.
White marble walls, statuary and mu-
raj painting, pillared halls and fOun-
tanned courtyards reflect the artistic
spirit of Latin America. Havana's clubs
go far toward making her a beautiful
city.

Soup Eating Lost Art.

Owing to the high cost of ingredi-
ents soup eating may become lost
art. America today holds the medal
for spectacular and musical soup eat
Ing. There is no nation so accom-
plished in the art Of eating soup audi
bly, as ours. No race Of people extant
can eat soup and keep up a steady con.
versation (without stopping 1t on Its
shirt bosom) aa successfully as the
American. A foreign writer once re-
marked that he dearly loved to hear
an American eat soup. Some nations
drink their broth and bOuillon In ST.
lence or sop 1t up noselessly with
bread. thus robbing the process OF all
its interest. But America blows its
broth cool, then musically sucks 1t
from the spoon, allowing 1t to hit the
base of the empty stomach with the
chug of a pile driver. The way some
of us strain soup through our mus
taches is decidedly artistic. But, like
many Of the lost arts of our aborigines,
the doom of soup eating Is In sight

RAINS HELP INDIAN VILLAGE
Good Rice Crops Grown In Abundant
Moisture and Region 10 Noted
for Good Cattle.

Sylhet is city In the most curious
part Of India-the great, low lying,
jungly, flooded, tea and rice districts
Of the far Southeast. Sylhet tea is
known all over the peninsula.
So low do these regions lie that the
heavy rains Of the rainy season result
in their being flooded for many months
of the year. Though far inland, after
the rains this is literally o sea. where
all travel Is by boat and even ships Of
some size can navigate. The torren-,
tial downpours flood the lower parts Of
the country to depth Of many feet.
There is one little village at the base
of the Khasia hills which had meas
ured rainfall of 90 feet in one year,
an exchange says.
The villages of this curious district
about Sylhet are set on the crest Of
hills. After the rains fall they are is
lands. The people are very expert
boatmen and the children can swim
almost as soon as they can walk.
This is probably the only part of In
WueTe Tic CuuOc 10 III uSc. A SiulI
not unlike the American is manufac-
tured by following out tree trunk
very thin. Larger canoes, propelled
by 20 paddles. are made in the same
way, and canoe racing is one Of the
principal sports.
The villagers Of these island villages
keep dimlnutive cattle which they feed
largely on marsh grasses cut from
boats. As a result Of abundant feed
and lack of exercise, the cows grow
fat and sleek to degree unusual
among the lean Indian cattle. Their
milk butter and cheese are known as
delicacles In the nearby cities. These
same villages raise unusually fine rice,
by planting before the rains begin.
As the country Is flooded, the stalks
of the rice grow with the rising sur
face Of the waters so that rice stalks
ten feet long may be seen when the
floods recede.

Evolution Of Wheeled Vehicles.

When the world awakened from its
apparent long sleep Of the middle ages.
during which the art Of vehicle con-
struction like all other arts, sank into
oblivion, manufacturing was revived
and from this awakening, about 400
A. D., marked improvements are found.
Emperors and kings We'd with each
other In the effort to outshlne and out
class one another, and through this
rivalry we note substantial advance
ment. In 1850 A. D. 1t Is said there
were only three coaches in Paris, and
within the next century we find the
feudal lords throughout continental
Europe supplying themselves with the
most extravagant and luxurious OF
equipages, some costing more than
$4,000 each.
The artists skill was employed,
poets sang beautiful songs In their
praise, and the epidemic spread, Gre
ating an eager desire upon all to out
ri,ui their neighbors.

Frenchnan Invented Microphone.

The inventor Of the fundamental
principle of the mlcrophone on the
modern telephone Is said to have been
the Able Rouselot, a French phoneti-
clan, born at Saint Cloud (Charente)
In 1S46. He became a vicar and cur
ate at Cognac and Jarrezac, then as
sistant professor Of French philology
at the Catholic institute Of Paris, and
two years later he opened the first
course of experimental phonetics ever
established. In 1897 he was appointed
director of the laboratory Of expert
mental phonetics at the College de
France, the plan for which originated
with him. He is the inventor of pho
netlc instruments, the maker of sew
eraI discoveries tending to cure deaf
ness and suffering and the author OF
q number of works on his speciality.

Tho Opium Habit.

There are three different forms or
taking opium. Some people, for exanl-
pie the Turks, eat 1t; others, like the
Chinese, smoke 1t. while the inhabl-
tants Of more civilized countries usual
ly drink 1t as laudanum. The drug IS
obtained from the unripe fruit OF the
common white poppy. Incisions are
made in the heads Of the plant, from
which creamy Juice exudes, harden
ing on its exposure to the air. This Is
scraped off and made up into small
cakes in which form 1t Is sold. The
confirmed opium eater or smoker re,
duces himself to an indescribably
wretched state Of mind and body, ana
very seldom lives to be forty If the
practice has been acquired at an early
period In life.
Catoctin clarion., 1918-03-07

conduct, although simple, Is strict.
They worship in their homes, and In
the fields, but have no priests.
They have no written language and
no literature of any sort. But they
have a number of curious folk tales.
One is somewhat akin to the Adam
and Eve story. Lumawig, out OF love
for his people, sent an old couple to
earth with new food for the Igorot
tribes. The old couple en- certain
day were to explain its use to the
nortals, but the latter became curious
and could not wait until the appoint-
ed time. Two Of the Igorots stole the
bag In which the new food was hid
den. This so angered Lumawig that
he said the Igorots thereafter would
have to till the ground and gain their
food by the sweat of their brows. The
new food was rice. 1t today Is the
great staple Of the people. Rice
and sweet potatoes are the only things
they raise.
Another legend tells of the origin of
head hunting. In warfare the lgorot
always brings home the heads of his
victims. One day the Moon, which is
a woman, was beating out brass. The
young child of the Sun stood near by,
watching. His scrutiny angered the
Moon, and she threw stick at him,
causing dccapitation. The Sun then
appeared and put his child's head back
OH his trunk, declaring that because
of the Moons wanton act mortas
would henceforth cut off each others
heads when in wrath.
Know How to lrrlaate.
Although primitive in their planting
and harvesting the Igorots mastered
oil the details of irrigation. This Is
the source Of their prosperity. They
have terraced all the mountainsides
and raise two crops Of rice year.
While the Igorots as race are
small they are exceptionally well de-
veloped. They are great mountain
climbers. Dress reform does not both
er them. A thin breechcloth and
happy smile make up their costume,
which they wear the year round. They
are much like the aboriginal Indian OF
America in many customs, one in par
ticuar being that the women do all
the work, while the men sit around In
indolent ease, smoking green tobacco
In ill-smelllng pipes. The women and
children smoke, too.
Superstition enters into their cures
for sickness. When part of the body
is injured they tattoo little stars all
over the spot, believing that by this
means they will drive out the little
devils that have taken up their abode
there. Being exposed to the sun and
weather at all times they are constant
ly shedding their skin. When death
occurs In a family the natives take
chicken meat and other foods and
great feast Is held, followed by wild
dance similar to the dances Of the
American Indians. The body Is then
buried, and the personal belongings of
the dead person are handed among the
relatives and the visitors depart. For
ornamentation the women gather little
berries, which they string and which
are then plated in the strands of their
black hair.
They relish dog meat, and after they
have fattened dog on rice they have
a barbecue and wild dance, beating
doleful music from the copper and
brass and wooden tomtoms.
But with all their quaint and saw
age customs the Igorots are patriotic
to the American flag now, and want to
