Gambling Spirit Strong.

Mazarin's passion for gambling was
so strong, even when death was near,
that he played cards to the very end,
when he was SO weak that they had to
meld for him, and Charles ii, the
Merry Monarch spent his last Sun
day on earth playing at basset around
a large table with his great courtiers
and other dissolute persons and with
bank of at least $4,000 before him.

ODD BELIEF ABOUT GEESE
Long Ago 1t Was Universally Thought
That They Originated From
the BarnacIe.

The popular sixteenth century be-
lief that geese originated from the
barnacle was not confined to the I'M
educated, but was shared even by nat
uralists. John Gerard, in his Her
ball Cor General Historic Of Plantes"
(printed in London In $500, in giving
a description Of this marvel says he
only tells what our eies have scene
and hands have touched" ION the
Pile of Foulders," he goes on to say,
"are founde certaine shells, wherein
is conteined a thing in forme like a
lace finely woven; one end whereof is
fastned unto the incide of the shell !;
the other end Is made fast unto a rude
mass, which in time commeth to the
shape of a bird. In short space after
1t commeth to maturltie, and falleth
into the sea, where 1t gathereth feath-
ers and groweth to & foule which the
people Of Lancashire call by no other
name then a tree goose"
He goes on to testify to their album
dance by saying that the best of them
could be bought for three-pence, and
challenges the incredulous to "repaire
unto me and I shall Statistic them by
the testimonie of good witnesses"
The Pile of Foulders Is the small
island now known as Piel Island, near
BarroW-in- Ftlrness.

The word "yeoman," except in its
association with "yeomanry," has
dropped out Of common use, and
when one does come across it it is
generally employed incorrectly. Re
Gently it was used In England as a
synonym for farmer" which it Is
not. A yeoman is a man who farms
his own freehold, whether he is a 40
shilling freeholder" or q "40,00O-shil-
ling" one. This is still clearly enough
understood in such backward" coun-
ties as Dorset, where the yeoman is
tenacious of his title and thinks all
the better of you If you address your
letters to Mr.. So-and-So, Yeoman.
There are still yeomen of old descent,
true gentlemen of England" who
would not thank you for any higher
title. ''Yeoman" Is one of those good
words the integrity of which should
be preserved.

BUYING LIVES,
LOAN PURPOSE
Your Liberty Loan Subscriptions
!. Will Hell Pay For Saving
100000 Yanks.

The coming Liberty Victory Loan
will pay the cost of saving the lives
of more than 100000 Yanks and thou
sands of our allies, according to Lewis
B. Franklin, Director of the U. S. War
Loan Organization.
''The speed and bravery of the Amer
lean 'doughboy' affected the Germans
on the front line more than it did the
men at German general headquart-
ers," states Mr.. Franklin, "but the
fact that America had ten tons of
mustard gas ready for shipment in
1919, to every ton that Germany had,
the fact that we were going to have a
tank on the front line for every rs
feet of the line in 1919, the fact that we
would have thousands of batteries of
guns where we did not have a single
one in 191S-thOse facts had an influ-
ence on the German general staff.
"And those millions and billions Of
dollars were far from being wasted
in an unnecessary preparation. l feel
that the fact that money was spent
and that that enormous output of mu-
nitions was ready, was the controlling
factor in the weakening of the Ger
man general staff, and that it caused
their message to the Kaiser that they
were beaten, and that he must sue for
peace. And the way l see it is that
this money, instead of being wasted,
can be written down as having saved
the lives of hundreds of thousands of
American men who would have been
sacrificed had the war continued an
other year.
"That is the money we are going
to ask the American people for in the
Fifth Liberty Loan. We are going to
ask them for the money that brought
our boys home safe and sound, instead
of leaving them buried in France. And
when the people of America realize
what this money did, we are not going
to find that they are lacking in patriot
ism to come across"

PEST SPREAD BY MOSQUITO
Scientists Have Traced Cause Of Die
ease That Has Long Been Prev
alent In the Tropics.

One Of the most peculiar Of all dis
les. In the blood Of persons suffer
ing from 1t there are found innumer
able little worms that can be seen only
By the aid Of microscope. These
are present only at night In the blood
that is circulating. At about five
o'clock In the afternoon they begin to
appear In the blood, having been hid
den away in the body until this time,
and then they remain in the cIrcula-
ton until about midnight, when they
begin to diminish. BY eight or nine
o'clock in the morning they have all
disappeared, and search of the blood
under the microscope after this fails
to reveal any. They are now collected
in certain large blood vessels deep in
the body, especially In the lungs,
where they remain hidden until they
60 out on their next nocturnal excur-
sion.
The parasite is conveyed to human
beings by the bite Of certain kinds of
uVs4utOeh. Lie mOSqultO dues anu
takes from man, or from some ami
NAL, as the case may be, blood which
contains these small worms. In the
stomach of the mosquito (the interme-
date host) the parasite goes through
certain definite changes or metamor-
phoses, which are just as necessary to
It's complete life as are the different
phases In the lives of butterflies,
moths and great many insects. First
1t escapes from a skin or shell in
which 1t has existed. Then it bores
its way through the wall Of the mos
quito's stomach and travels forward
through the body until it arrives at
the base Of the bill or proboscis.

He endeavored to collect his senses
and try and elude duress at the hands
of the being who disturbed his nap.
He stretched himself and yawned for
time. Something tapped poignantly
against his nose, fluttered with the
wind in his eyes. Slowly he opened
his sleepy organs of vision, wondering
what, it might be. The sunlight was
very strong, but he succeeded in MAX
ing out an inscription-it was his
name.
He had to blink several times be-
fore he could really see, for or Sol's
candescence hurt his somniferous
sight. Now he grasped the paper in
his hands and read it in spell-bound,
increditing wonder and establishment.
Evidently he did not believe what he
saw, for he rubbed his eyes and
pinched himself to ascertain that he
was not seeing things" in seance.
Another sharp wallop greeted his
surprise. He turned up his eyes to the
unknown bystander, who held up his
feet.
wake up, sleepy poet-Pve decided
to take you back. I guess 1 was
wrong"
His surprise was even greater when
he discovered that the imaginary min
ion was his stubborn and bigoted fa-
Their, who always loved to have his
own way. His heart beat loud for joy
when he beheld the second person. He
wished to speak, but his tongue be-
came paralyzed. Darling" was all he
could say.
The girls buxom countenance be-
came suffused In red. She attempted
to hide her deep emotion by saying:
''The Courier will publish in book
form the 'scripts-the, er, very per-
sonal and friendly verses that you
wrote to me from the time we were
little children"
"They are your property" interposed
honest Bill.
mo, they're yours" argued the just
girl; "you wrote them. And this is the
initial check for one thousand. The
company is famous for its word. The
provisions for royalties that I have
made will be faithfully carried out"
"And," continued the youth, huskily,
"you remember, when 1 should make
good-you remember the old contract
will 1t be carried out, MarjorieY
The girl could no longer control her
emotions.
''It WILL" she said, In moved voice,
and buried her blush in the boys arms,
even If it was broad daylight and the
hundreds who teemed Times square
did laughingly look upon them.

When they hear the current report
that a member of the Connecticut
state game commission has seen sew
eral passenger pigeons, persons who
know the story of bird life In North
America are almost as surprised as
IL he had said he had seen specimens
Of the great aux. The passenger
pigeon hus been considered equally
extinct. Less than a century ago it
was the most plentiful game bird on
the continent and flocks Of passenger
pigeons are said to have darkened the
landscape like cloud passing beneath
the sun. This seems likely enough,
when one recalls Audubon's estimate
of well over q billion pigeons In mi
grating flock. Their temperance
would be a true return of the native,
and would be widely welcomed.

Across the windows of Pierre Ca

fash Of bright red and shadow of
dark blue. The flash was the bunch
Of red gladioli that Bessie Damours
carried; the shadow was Bob Heath
man, towering a healthy brown giant
above the vivacious little laundry
worker, with whom, when he was off
duty as engineer on the r. M. railroad,
he managed to spend much of his
spare time.
As the red and the blue vanished,
Pierre was seized with a great trem-
bling. He knelt in haste behind his
grape-covered counter, and, leaning
his head ON a crate of fragrant musk
melons, spread out his hands In
WEAKNESS of soul.
"Babettel Babette!' he whispered
in French. "My petite-how l love

without the benefit of the contribution
deduction.
The taxpayer is not allowed to de-
duct any personal, living or family ex-
pense, any amount spent for improving
property or making good its exhaus-
ton for which an allowance is claimed
under depreciation.
Figuring the Tax.
Before figuring the normal tax the
dividends are deducted as credits from
net income, together with the personal
exemption. As in previous years, divi-
dends of domestic corporations are ex-
empt from normal tax when received
by the stakeholder
The normal tax rates for citizens
and residents are as follows: On the
first $4,000 of net income in excess Of
the credits the rate Is 6 per cent; on
any further taxable income the rate is
II per cent.
The surtax rates apply to net In
come of each individual in excess Of
$4,000 The personal exemption and
the dividends are not deductible before
computing surtax. In the case of re-
turns by husband and wife. the net
income of each is considered separate
ly in computing any surtax that may
be due Form 1910 should be used for
making returns of net income exceed
ing $1,000, and the instructions on that
form will show how to figure the sur
tax.
Business House Returns.
Employers and others who paid
wages, salaries, rents, interest or SIM
liar determinable gains in an amount
of $1,000 or over during 1918 to any
person must file an information return
with the Government. Blanks may be
secured from the Collector.
Every partnership must file return
showing its income and deductions and
the name and address of each partner,
with his share of the profits or losses
during the past year. Personal service
corporations will file similar informa-'
ton for 1918.

In the dusk Bessie Damours came
into the dismantled shop. She was
pale as ashes, and her black eyes
were red with crying.
"Oh. Pierre" she came quite close

Pierre did not look at her. 'Tomor-

Temperature Seldom Varies.

About the only place in which the
daily temperature varies but narrowly
from the annual mean is the weather
or eastern side of the island of Ha-
wall. 1t is the proud boast in Hilo
that within thirty miles of that city
any desired climate may be found,
from the torrid beach to the eternal
SHOWS of Mauna Kea, and that when
a spot of the desired climate is found
it will be unchanging day after day.
Meteorological facts are not all that
are needed. A change of climate for
purposes of health should not be made
except under competent medical di.
rection.

Planting Bulbs.

The easiest way to plant bulbs Is to
use a dibble or bulb-planter. A dib-
BILE is, in its simplest form, only a
round stick slightly larger than the
bulbs, with one end pointed. Those
purchased at the stores usually have
curved handle. A very good dibble
can be made from an old garden fork
or spade handle by cutting It off about
a foot from the end. The handle will
be found convenient. You can be sure
of planting the balbs at a uniform
depth, IL you measure the distance on
the dibble and drive a nail into the
wood or make a chalk mark at the
right place. Some gardeners paint
bands en- inch apart on their dibbles
for convenience.
