Was Son Of Great Soldier.

One of the most curious things to be
seen in Tallahassee, Fla, is tall mon
ument in the cemetery, Inscribed TO
prince Murat Of Naples" 1t stands
over the remains of the son Of the ia
nous French Marshal Murat, whom
Napoleon appointed ruler Of Naples In
1905, and who was deposed about ten
years later. This son came to Amer
lea, Travelled widely, and finally set
Red at Tallahassee, where he married
Il beautiful southern girl, and built a
modest house, which still stands and is
5nown as the Murat homestead. In
addition to being great traveller, MI
~at was writer Of talent, one Of his
hooks about America running through
20 editions In France. But he was
also peculiar to the verge Of lunacy,
and a man Of doubtful personal hab-
its. He died in Tallahassee Of dis
ease which caused him long years OF
suffering.

The Sweet Acid.

From the appearance Of market
baskets just out Of market, one might
infer that grape fruit was the staff
Of life. 1t seems to have pushed aside
the potato and onion and reached the
heights Of real food. 1t is all right.
1t is healthy and happy. but it is not
conducive to muscular glory. There
Is not much bone or fiber in ii. 1t
won't carry man up big hill or help
him lift a great stone. But there are
other things to do besides these du-
ties. There is the spirit to take care
of. The acid of this fruit is con.
centration of morning light that bears
a charm, which makes one feel that
nature is on his side. 1t simply cuts
the cobwebs from the system to give
more room for poetry and song. 1t is
good thing for man to buy grape
fruit. It is sign that he is above
he pig, for pigs won't eat 1t. 1t is
reserved for animals with souls, like
our wife, who would eat them every
meal, while we refuse them al
all meals. ergo-pass the doughnuts.-

No More Dark Continent.

One may no longer believe in tht
existence of a strange white people
In Africa. Rider Haggard's splendid
race is probably only the Bahima
originally discovered by Spoke in
southwestern Uganda. AT least Sir
Harry Johnston claims to have discov.
cred in them the clue to many Of the
mysterious white-race legends found
in the dark continent. He was en-.
gagged in nothing more thrilling than
a tour of inspection of Ankole when
he came across them. They are of q
very light complexion, and are the
aristocrats of this region. Sir Harry
holds that they are obviously descend
ants from a Gala, Somali or other
Hamitic stock, and adds that some of
them are more like Egyptians than
Is the case with CALAIS and. Somalis.
Romance disappears before the tread
of the explorer. The dark continent

Lesson of skyscrsper.

There Is no more vivid record of the
life of the middle ages than the tall
spired Gothic cathedral, a reaction
from the RIGHTEOUSNESS Of imperial
Rome. Today the skyscraper, "the
cathedral Of commerce." decked In it's
meaningless borrowed flnery or naked
In It's utilitarianism, expresses the ma
terialistic and practical tendencies of
modern civilization. The cathedral
however, Is perfected embodiment
of an ideal; the skyscraper is only a
makeshift. Those who built 1t thought
of providing place where many peo-
pie may work, and beauty is given
little or no thought. Beauty is con-
sidered an accessory. not a necessity.
As each skyscraper has lowered high
and shut out air and light from 9TH
ers, 1t has been not only a symbol of
greed and the power of wealth, but
also Of the power Of the individual
who has no thought for society.

This is the latest breakfast-table

ured prominently In European history
at various times for over a century,
Lloyd George had to confess, when 1t
was mentioned at the peace confer

where II was situated.

The late Cecil Chesterton wrote a
history of the United States. which has
been published since his death. In an
Introduction his brother, Gilbert Ches-
terton, said: Cecil very early became
socialist and Joined the Fabian So
ciety. But he afterward gave the ex-
PLANTATION very characteristic for those
who could understand 1t, that what he
liked about the Fabian sort of social
Ism was Its hardness. He meant in
tellectual hardness; the fact that the
society avoided sentlmentalism, and
dealt In affirmations and not mere as
sociations. He meant that upon the
Fabian basis socialist was bound to
believe In socialism, but not In sandals,
free love, bookbinding and immediate
disarmament"

MAGNOLIA GrandifIora.

Our common magnolia was well
named, for it has the grandest flower
of 35 species found in various parts
of the world. One other large ever.
green species, also native to this coun-
try, is NJ. gIanca. About two or three
dwarf evergreen species are known,
the other 80 are deciduous and gen
orally flower before the leaves appear.
Magnolia macrophylla, as implied by
It's specific name, has the largest
leaves Of the group. These sometimes
grow a foot wide and two feet long.
1t grows wild from Kentucky to Flor
Ida and west to Arkansas and Louisi-
ana. The flowers are not snowy or
of nice color. The more common spe-
cies grow best where water is found a
few feet below the surface.-Los An

from the valley Of the Amazon, the
central part of Africa and the East
Indies, and small portion from Mex.

United States. Rubber from the
United States is obtained from a mum.

The rubber obtained from the hevea

shrub growing three to five feet in
height, is becoming an important
source of rubber. This plant is also
found in Mexico and in southwestern

In the Tarot deck of cards, used by
the gypsies in telling fortunes and by
many of the peoples of southern Eu-
rope for playing tarocchi, the thIr-
teenth card bears skeleton with a
scythe, the symbol of death. The Tarot
deck is very ancient. but 1t is more
likely that death was associated with
its thirteenth card because of the SUI
perstition than that the association
gave rise to the superstition.

The maker of the home is a woman,
and every woman makes home. She
may be wife or not, a mother or
not, sister or not. But she is a
daughter, and probably mother. At least
in one relation she makes a home.
The home is now beset by many foes,
some open and some insidious. The
designations of life. quite as much in
tellectual as moral, dry up its stream
of affection. The absorptions of life
consume its proper interests. Mar
rowness of vision and of work robs 1t
of its treasure of Imagination WearI-
ness Of life is common, tasks exhaust
Its springs of strength. A college is

!BLACK-DRAUGHT
 CLEANS THE LIVER
Enthusiastic Texan Tells of Bad Fix He Was In and How He Got Out by Us ing Black Draught
 Liver Medicine

Holland Texas-Mr. J. N. Messer, who lives a short distance from here out in the country, says: Black Draught Is without doubt the best liver medicine made. I do not hesitate to say it will do all it is recommended to to do and more.
 I am strong and healthy. but we all need little active medicine once in while, and Black-Draught Is good enough for me. It does the work we'll and cleans the liver, carrying away bile, the easiest of any purgative have ever seen.
 Once, some years ago, I had slow fever and my stomach was in a bad fix, and Black -Draught gave me relief and helped me a wonderful sight. It cured me of indigestion and the bad feeling after eating. I keep it for my family, they use it and have for years, and, too, it saves doctor bills and is not ex- pensive.
 A stitch in time saves nine. and most sickness is caused by a bad liver. A few doses of Black Draught fixes that, and don't see why people don't use 1t, and they would see as I have, what help it would be-"
