nary use couple of hundred years
ago, and gradually people saw the ad.
vattages Of this metal bed, until now
adays they are almost universally IN
use. The Romans used rough frame
work beds, interlaced with thongs, al
though. of course, the idea was, much
improved upon in the beds of some OF
the emperors, ornamented with jew
els. After the thong-and-framework
bed came the first idea of a mattress,
in the shape of the "chest bed" This
was kind of shallow box stuffed with
dry moss or feathers, and although 1t
must have been comfortable, 1T must,
at the same time, have been extremely
insanitary. Later on came the big
four-poster canopy bedsteads. These
pieces of sleeping furniture" were
hung with curtains which did little
else but collect dust and keep away
fresh air. One had. to be wealthy TO
sleep at all comfortably in those days,
for although there were plenty OF
vermin about, there was no effective
insect-killer. So when the bed of a
rich man became infested, he moved
to another of his houses, and let the
I vermin die Of starvation. The poor
| man, with only one house. merely
grinned and bore tor. rather. them.

entrance opening for fresh air should
be larger than the one for exit. If
these openings are directly opposite,
the motion will take place without

Simcoe in 1928 Immediately after

at Newark (now Niagara). In thai
parliament he not only laid the ground,

has been modernized a bit by a cheap
porch, but is still primitive as well

None of The peculiar formations OF

caves, and many are the adventures
that have been had by the explorers
Of these often mysterious caverns.
The very word cave seems to have
a strong attraction for everybody.
Some of the best and most Interesting

historical interest to these natural
tunnels under the surface OF the

Inventor of the Letter-Box.

The inventor of the letter-bcX was
Anthony sTrollope, the novelist, who
was a surveyor of the. post office, III
England, from 1871 to his retirement
from the service in 1867. One sure
way of arousing Trollope's ire was to
suggest that he neglected his post
Office work for the sake of his novels.
He took, as a matter of fact, an in
tense pride in his official work, or, as
he put it, he had passion for letters,
In his autobiography he enumerated
various benefits for which the public
had cause to be grateful to him. First
came the arrangement by which the
people living in little villages could
buy postage stamps secondly, the free
and early rural delivery, and the put
ting up of pillar or letter-collecting
boxes. Of that accommodation ne

Jackson's one-time antagonist, Thomas
Fl. Benton, now senator from Mis-,
souri,, was his champion, the resolu-
ton was expunged by drawing about
it in the records a heavy black line.
Jackson was equally bold and vic
torious in meeting the threat of NULL
fication, although it came from his
own section, from his own party and
from his own vice president, John G.
Calhoun. Shortly before his inaugu-
ration congress passed the first tariff
that was framed for the benefit of
the new manufacturing industries
which were springing up in New
England. This bestowal Of special
privilege aroused the jealousy of the
agricultural South.
At a Democratic banquet in Wash
ington in 1880, President Jackson
rose and proposed this toast: For
Federal Union; 1t must be pre-
served" Then Vice President Cal
houn got up and toasted the rights
of the states. Thus the two highest
officials Of the government Joined
issue across that dinner table on a
question which great armies would
fight out In another generation.
Two years afterward convention
in South. Carolina solemnly adopted
an ordinance multiplying the tariff act
for that state and forbidding within
the boundaries Of the state the COL
lection of customs duties under it.
While recommending to congress a
modification Of the offending tariff,
Jackson appealed to the patriotism of
the South Carolinans in a proclama-
ton which set all the North and much
of the South ringing with cheers; or
dered General Scott to the scene of
threatened trouble; REINFORCED the
forts of the dissatisfied state; dis
patched naval fleet to Charleston
harbor, and only waited for the first
overt act of revolt to give him war
rant for arresting Calhoun and the
other leaders. But the nullif1ers nulli-
fed their notification, leaving the res
olute and patriotic president riding a
high tide Of popular favor.
Jackson's pre-eminent service to the
country was rendered in his battle
with notification. "Ihe tariff was
only the pretext," he said, "disunion
and southern confederacy the real
object. The next pretext will be the
negro" Thanks to him, that ire
pressible conflict had been postponed
25 years, until great West should
grow up and join hands with the
East in saving the Union.

NO LANGUAGE QUITE PURE
Words Expressing New Ideas and New
Things Are Passed From Ma
tion ito Nation.

If by "a pure language" is meant one
that does not contain words adopted
from another language, then there are
none among civilized nations. A IAN.
guage is not something made to order'-
and that once made ends there so
far as development is concerned. A
language grows in many ways. rake
modern English for example, 1t dit
fers considerably from the English OF
the time of Queen Elizabeth, and 1t
is 50 different from the language
spoken in England at the time of the
Norman conquest that could one OF
those ola Saxons come back he would
not understand us and we would not
understand him. And yet the IAN
guage he spoke is the basis of modern
English. Since the time of the Sax
ons there has been great growth. the
Normans brought In French, ana
scholars since then have brought in
thousands of words derived from Latin
and Greek. These are English words
today, but the roots from which they
sprang are to be found in other and
in many cases in older languages. II
is because of this that the English vo-
cabulary is so extensive and the lam
guage so expressive.
Italian, Spanish and French are
largely derived from Latin, WHICH was
the language of ancient Rome, and fol
centuries Rome was the ruler of con
tinental Europe. And, the Latins Dor
rowed from the still older Greek.
A living language is always grow
ing. For example, science is introduc
ing new words to express new ideas
and to name new things.
