Ancient Grape SIrup.

That the making of grape strip is
not new thing is shown by the writ
ings Of ancient historians. Galen, the
Greek physician and writer, who lived
In the second century after Christ,
says that good many Asiatic wines
were stored in bottles which were
hung in the corner of fireplaces, where,
by evaporation, they became dry. This
process was called fumarium." The
Greeks had two kinds Of wine, "pro-
toplon," or first juice of the grape be-
fore pressing, and "deuterion," or
pressed Juice. The Romans called
them "vinum primarium" and "vinum
secundarium." The Juice before fer
mentation had started was called
"mustum." After this must, or Juice,
had been through a heating process,
1t was known as 'fruitum," and when,
after long heating, it was reduced to
one-half or one-third its original vol
ume it was called "sapa." This was
equivalent to grape strip and was
used by the Romans on their bread

Perfect Human Eluure.

There Is much difference Of opinion
on the subject of perfect human meas
urements, but according to Professor
Sergeant, one Of the best known au-
thoritles on the health Of the Ameri-
can woman, the following measure
ments constitute the perfect figure:
Height, 63.o inches; breadth of neck,
3.S inches; girth Of neck, 12.1 inches;
breadth Of shoulders, IA inches;
breadth Of waist, SO inches; girth of
waist, 24.6 inches; breadth Of hips,
121 inches; girth Of hips, 1854 inches
girth Of calf, 1873 inches; girth Of up
per arm, 10.1 inches; glrth Of thigh.
21.4 inches, and Of forearm, 90 inches.
Many other authorities insist that a
woman should measure in height s
feet five inches, or an inch and one
half taller than Professor Sargeant's
perfect woman.

Growth of Plants.

Among plants, after the period Of
growth in spring and summer there Is
a period of dormancy before the cold
weather sets in, and If plants are
maintained artificially at high tenn
perature this dormant period persists.
Exposure to cold is needed to actlvate
the plant for another period of growth.
Perhaps the liberation of engines acts
on the stored starches, converting
them into sugars, or the phenomenon
may be due to change in the per-
meability Of the cell-membrane.
Though normally the stimulus required
for a renewal of growth is supplied
by cold, mechanical injury or a period
Of drying may have the same effect.
The process occurs Independently in
any exposed part of plant, so that
If one or two branches of a plant be
kept continually warm while the other
is subjected to the usual winter chill
Ing, the former will not develop on the
return Of summer temperature though
the latter develops as usual.

TOTEM POLES TELL HISTORY
Have Peculiar Significance Among
tho Up1Coast Indian Tribes Of
British Columbia.

Totem poles Of the up-coast Indian
tribes Of British Columbia tell the his
tory Of that race. The poles are Of
ethnologic and folklore significance,
have legendary symbolism, and carry
details Of the tribe, clan, family and
individual. Their painted grotesques
Of birds, beasts, fish and men are done
In blue, red and white upon a black
background.
The right to use the totemic crest
always descends through the woman.
A tribesman uses the tribal crest of
his clan group In addition to- those of
one or more guardian spirits he may
have acquired. If he Is easy In max
ing friendships with birds. beasts and
fishes he may have a Noah's ark of
them on his pole. The crests are also
carved on canoe prows. painted on
house fronts and woven into baskets
and blankets Of goat hair or cedar
bark.
A man gets his reputation and
standing In the community, among
the up-coast tribes, not by what he
owns, but by what he gives. away. If
he wants to be regarded as a "hiyu
tree" or person of special conse-
Quence, he aims to do it by giving
away more blankets than anybody
else on the coast.

The oldest work of fiction extant Is
thought to be "The Tale of Two Broth
ers," written $500 years ago by the
Theban scribe Enana, librarian Of the
palace Of King Menepthah the sup
posed Pharaoh of the Exodus. The
tale, It appears, was written for the
entertainment Of the crown prince,
who subsequently reigned as Set II.
His name appears in two places in the
manuscript, probably the only surviv-
ing autograph signature Of an Egyp-
tian king. This piece Of antique fic-
ton, written on 10 sheets Of papyrus
in a bold hieratic hand. was pur-
chased in italy by Nine. D'Orbiney,
who sold 1t in 1857 to the authorities
OF the British museum, where It is now
known as the D'Orbiney papyrus.

LADIES OARkEN
YOUR GREY HAIR
Use Grandma's Sage Tea and Sulphur
Recipe and Nobody Will
Know.

The use of Sage and Sulphur for re-
storing faded, gray hair to its natural
color dates back to grandmothre 5
time. She used it to keep her hair
beautifully dark, glossy and attract
i've. Whenever her hair took on that
dull, faded or streaked appearance,
this SIMPLE mixture was applied with
wonderful effect.
But brewing at home is mussy and
out-ot-date. Nowadays, by asking
at any drug store for bottle of
"Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound" you will get this famous old
preparation, improved by the addition
OF other ingredients, which can be de-
pended upon to restore natural color
and beauty to the hair
A well known downtown druggist
says it darkens the hair so naturally
and evenly that nobody can tell it has
been auulied. You simply dampen a
sponge or soft brush with it and draw
this through your hair, taking one
strand at time, by morning the gray
hair disappears, and after another ap-
plication or two, it becomes beautifully
dark and glossy.

MADE THEIR WAY TO FAVOR
Words Banned Fifty Years Ago Are
Now by General Consent Recog-
nized as Proper.

Most newspapers have an index ex-
the tempting words banned at the
time of it's compilation as to bad
usage, remarks a writer In the Home
Sector. 1t Is amusing to read one Of
those lists, drawn up for New York
newspaper 80 years ago, long dis
carded list frowning on such words
as aspirant, bogus, collided, COM
menced Cfor begun, employee, endorse
flor approvaD, humbug, ignore, jeop-
ardize, lengthy, loafer, ovation, post
ed (for informed), predicate, progress
ing, reliable (for trustworthy, row.
dies, taboo, talented and vicinity (fOr
neighborhoodD. Most of these are now
quite respectable and would have the
freedom even Of those newspapers
which once spurned them. Thus, as
ever, do the heresies of today become
the gospel Of tomorrow. Thus does
progress march.
1t happens in language, in econo-
mics, in politics. Tomorrow conserva-
tives will be found stoutly defending
the program which yesterdays radicals
drew up. Perhaps an appreciation Of
this fact ought to produce philo-
sophie calm, but 1t Is quite as likely to
produce temper. And yet it is absurd
to swear at the conservative man as
it is to denounce the dam in the stream
and the brake on the engine.

FINE CITY TWICE DESTROYED
America, the Victim Of Flood, Fire
and Earthquake.

Antigua, the glittering Spanish cap
ital of all Central America, arose high
on the central plateau in the beauti-
full valley of Almocongo. It's palaces
and churches its monasteries and hos
pitfalls, its sparkling fountains and av-
enues were unsurpassed in any part
of the new world, while above all tow
cred the sweeping outlines Of the
great volcanoes known as the aqua
and "Fuego' ,("Water" and "Fire")
which were destined to be her doom.
For twice Antigua was destroyed, the
first time in 1916 by flood of water
from the crater of the volcano which
was then appropriately called Aqua
and the second time in 1873 by fire
and earthquake from Fuego. The
Spa not being able to remon-
strate with the recalcitrant volcanoes
In the same effective manner that was
employed in dealing with the Indians,
other means were resOrted to, and
these mountains were sOlemnly bap-
tiled aqua" and "Fuego," and taken
with due ceremony into the arms OF
the church in the hope that they would
eschew their heather deities and re-
form their uncouth ways. Neverthe-
less, as a matter of terrestrial precau-
ton. the capital city was moved "a
miles distant to safer location, where
1t is, now situated. Strange to say,
both Aqua and Fuego seem to have
lived up to their new responsibilities,
with but few half-hearted attempts
at backsliding, until the recent great

Death of Goethe.

When the spirit of Johann Won
Goethe passed away, March %, 1882,
ali Europe took note Of the event and
pondered on his last words: "Let the
Light Enter" He was venerable with
age and honors, wise, many-sided
mind, and the greatest poet of Ger
many. Marck said of him that what
he lived was more beautiful than what
he wrote; and his life. amid all its
weakness and all its sorrows, presents
a picture of certain grandeur of soul
which cannot be contemplated un.
moved.

cEDARs MANY CENTURIES OLD
That Much Sure, but It 10 impossible
to Tell Age Of Lebanen's
Famous Trees.

The. age Of the famous cedars Of
Lebanon has long been In dispute. Lo-
cal tradition says they were planted
by God at the creation Of the world
and that they will endure until the last
day.
That there was great grove Of
cedars on Lebanon in the days Of King
Solomon there can be no doubt, as it
was from them that he obtained the
wood for building the temple. Whether
any of those now standing were there
in Solomon's time Is matter of specu-
lation.
At the present day the grove con-
tains 3S9 trees, Of which only Is are of
large size. 1t is in the center Of a great
basin in the mountains, 5000 feet
above the sea. A Maronite chapel Is
on mound in the shade of the trees,
and here mass Is said and on the feast
Of the TRANSPORTATION a great festival
takes place.
Several efforts to calculate the age
of the cedars now standing have been
made by counting the rings In the
heart wood Of those that have fallen.
These estimates, according to Prof.
A. Henry of the Royal College of Sci
ences for Ireland, in an article in Coun-
try Life, vary from 2,23O years to $500
years, although it may be that they are
of slower growth than the specimens
tested in other countries
The largest Of the cedars Is Is feet
in diameter.

PRICE OF OIL HAS
ADVANCED AGAIN

The Cincinnati Enquirer yesterday
quoted Somerset oil at $3.50, which is
a raise of 20 cents per barrel If cor
rect. The Enquirer quoted the price
wrong for some time last fall, so we
give this quotation for what 1t is
worth. An advance has been expect
ed ever since the advance of Monday
was made on the Pennsylvania grade,
and this encourages the belief that the
$3.50 price is correct.
