Demi-Gods of Old Rome.

Castor and POllux, also called the
DiosCuri, were heroes or demi-gods of
early Grecian mythology. They were
brothers and said to be the sons of
Zeus, who in Grecian mythology cor
responds to Jupiter in the mythology
of Rome. Castor was famous for his
skill in tanning and managing horses,
and POlluX for his skill in boxing. AL
though they were buried, says the Gre
clan poet Homer, yet they cana to life
every other day and enjoyed divine
hOnOrs. The worship of Castor and
POlluX was introduced at Rome at an
early time. They were held to have
aided the Romans in battle with the
Latins, or natives of Italy, and a
temple was erected to them in the
forum. After these two mythical he
rOes was the ship named in which st.
Paul completed his memorable voyage
to Italy, in order that he might appeal
to Caesar for justice and protection.

COMMUNITY INSPIRED
TO INCORPORATE TOWN

Coke Otto, a small mining COM
munity near Hamilton, Ohio, isn't con-
tent to be Just group Of people any
longer
Coke Otto wants to be an incor
porated town.
And it's all the result of community
meetings and activities inaugurated
by the Rural Extension Secretary Of
Hamilton Chapter Of the Red Cross.
When Hamilton engaged its rural
worker, she went among other places
to Coke Otto, where perhaps 700 peo.
pie live. Sanitary conditions were
very Lax there, so one Of the first
movements was. the organization of q
'ftin can brigade" This was divided
into eight sub-regiments and prizes
were offered the group that kept the
most rubbish out Of the community
for a specified length Of time.
Subsequent community meetings
have shown the people of Coke Otto
the need for street clean-ups, flood
protection and sanitation. After the
third meeting the community decided
that better and quicker results could
be obtained through united efforts.
Hence the plan to become an incor'
porated town.

Jason a Legendary Character.

Jason was the leader Of the ArgO-
nautic expedition in Greek legend. The
equivalent Of his name in Greek Is
the healer or atOner. Jason was tu-
tOred and brought up under ChirOn. a
Greek myth renowned for his wisdom
and skill in medicine, hunting, music
and prophecy. JasOn's greatest ex-
plot was his expedition with the Ar
gOnauts in quest Of the Golden Fleece.
Jason secured this by the aid of Me-
dea, a sOrceress who fell in love with
him. She protected him from the bulls
breathing fire and hOOfed with brass
which he was obliged, in order to OBJ
tain the fleece, to yoke to the pillow.
She also protected him from the
armed men who sprang up from the
dragons teeth which he was required
to sow in the fields. Medea fed with
Jason and the fleece and married him.
Ten years later Jason abandoned her
after she had murdered CreUsa, whom
Jason had determined to marry.

Autograph Hunters Coup.

Autograph hunting sometimes
proves a most profitable pursuit. Lud-
Ovic Picard. a French Bohemian Of
the sos, made a steady income out W
it for several years.
One of his most successful cOups
was accomplished with a letter in
which he posed as "a member of the
unhappy race Of the unappreciated
who is meditating suicide and seeks
for counsel and aid in this hour of
sore distress"
This drew a number of celebrities.
including Beranger and Heine. LacOr-
daire sent him ten closely written
pages, which were promptly converted
into cash.
Dickens also fell a victim Of his
wiIes and took the trouble to answer
him in French. Eventually Picard was
shown up in the press by Jules Sa'
deau and had to seek another occupa-
ton.

Eskimo Inherently Honest.

The Eskimo regards honesty as para
mount. He will never misrepresent
facts, and although he may want to
dispose of an article badly he will
rather depreciate 1t than run the risk
of over praising. A man who lies or
deceives another Is severely punished.
An Eskimo will not permit a fellow
man to need for food or clothing, once
he has enough for himself and his
family. War, to the parka-hOOded men
of the North. is unknown. They de-
eide differences by staging dance duels
and outsinging each other, and old
men act as judges to decide winners.
In this way honor is satisfied. Bru-
tally is unknown. In combating ma
ture, fighting the walrus, the whale
and the bear with primitive weapons,
the Eskimo displays unusual GOODNESS
and plans his way out Of danger with
extreme self-pOssession.

FIRST UNITED STATES COINS
"Fugios," Made of Copper, Were the
Earliest Issued by Direct Au-
thority of Congress.

The ''fugiOs" were the earliest coins
issued by the authority of the United
States, and were of copper. 1t was in
April, 1881, that the congress of the
United States authorized the board of
treasury to contract for 300 tons of
copper coin Of the federal standard
"agreeably to the proposition of Mr..
James Jarvis, provided that the premi-
nm to be allowed to the United States
on the account of the copper contracted
for be not less than Is per cent" and
that sit be coined at the expense of
the contractor, but under the inspec-
ton of an officer appointed and paid
by the United States"
1t is presumed that this copper coin
contract was made as directed for on
Friday, July 6, 1877, the congress
adopted this resolution: THAT the
board of treasury direct the contractor
for the copper coinage to stamp on
one side of each piece the following
device, viz: Thirteen circles linked
together and a small circle in the mid

EnqIishman on PapaI Throne.

Pope Adrian " was by birth an
Englishman, and the only one of that
nation who ever occupied the papal
chair. He was a native Of Langley,
near st. Adams, in HertfOrdshire. He
was born before A. D. 100, his real
name being Nicholas Breakspear.
He was said to have left England as
beggar, and to have become a serv-
ant or lay brother in a monastery near
Avignon, in France. Here he studied
with such diligence that he was elect
ed abbot in 1877. He was made car
dinal bishop of Alba in 1146, and went
to Denmark and Norway. Upon his
return to Rome Nicholas was unani-
mously chosen pope against his own
inclination, in November, 1854, hold
ing that post until his death at An
agni, September 1, 1859.

Value of Snakes.

Most people have decided shrink
ing from snakes, which is not to be
wondered at in tropical countries,
where their bite is venOmOus and often
fatal But the grass snake ought not
to be COMPOUNDED with the rattlers,
cobras or pythOns. 1t is as harmless
to humanity as a frog and a good deal
more useful. No greater enemy to
bugs is In existence. And slugs are
among the most hurtful of garden and
field pests. They keep down the num-
bers also of such other pests as mice,
shrews and other small rodents. But
as slug destroyers they deserve to be
cherished rather than massacred at
sight, which Is their usual fate

MARK ADAPTA2lLITY OF MAN
Prove His Right to Rule Over
the Natural Kingdom. -.

In the competition for survival, leaf
eating insects must be green, like
their prey, or perish; wOOdpeckers,
like the bark; the tiger, striped like
sunshine through the rushes. The
fittest survive. "A black sheep" is
more than a figure Of speech. The
struggle for existence demands his
murder in the flock of white, cOnspic-
uOus in contrast. Adaptation or death.
The crafty little chameleon is the
prince of color adapters.
Faculties used. are sharpened; II
neglected, they waste away into YES
tigia-the appendix in man. Eyes of
mOles and borrowers are slowly
closed with skin and fur. The fluffy
little lap dog has weak eyes. But cav
ern tOads, with eyesight almost gone,
will recover dim perception in slowly
graduated light. And night-prOwling
cats improve their sight to penetrate
shadow land. Man noticed the pupils
of his eyes contract in sunshine, and
enlarge in darkness-saw the bat, and
understood.
On all sides he saw this principle
at work: Bears, fur coated, restrict
ed to the cold; the dolphin, in the
sea; the eagle, the bird of freedom,
alert always to escape in flight. He
therefore devised the automobile, the
airplane and the submarine, to jump
from mountain top to ocean bottom.
This adaptability of his body of di-
versif1ed surroundings has made him
monarch of the natural kingdom.

QUESTIONABLE BRINGS
MONEY FOR VACATION

In o certain Lake Division town,
there's a mother of q former soldier
who has nearly 800 extra to spend
for herself this summer,
The Red Cross Home Service sec
ton in that community sent question
naires to all ex-servioe men, asking
them. If all their wartime affairs had
been satisfactorily settled.
The particular soldier In question
was discharged soon after the ARMS
tice and had never learned that some
travel pay was due him. After he had
read over the QUESTIONABLE he de-
cided to look up the Home Service
secretary an find out about some Of
the things noted among the queries.
AS a result he Just received check
for $964S that he didn't know was
due him until the Red Cross question
naire came. He gave the money to
his mother for a vacation. This Is
typical example Of the service given
by the Red Cross.

WANTED TO go IT ALONE"
Many Years Ago Missouri Declared
Her Ambition to Become an In
dependent Republic.

Missouri once had intention Of set
ting up as an independent republic
all by herself The Session acts, state
Of Missouri, 1S3S-1S39. contain a me-
mortal to the congress of the United
States relative to the Santa Fe trade.
It tells of an expedition Of traders
to Santa Fe in 1912 from St. Louis,
though 1t is not specifically stated that
they went over the Santa Fe trail.
The early Session acts of the Mis-
souri, legislature, starting IN 1924, con-
tain many interesting resolutions and
memorials to congress on all manner
Of political and historical subjects.
Incidentally the Missouri constitution
of 1920 starts with the preamble that
the citizens Of the state agree to form
and establish a free and independent
republic by the name Of the state OF
Missouri.
Missouri was one. Of the pivotal
states in the history Of this country.
1t was made such in the ancient fight
in congress over the slavery question,
which took up the admission Of free
and slave states and considered the
balance thereof in congress. MissOu-
ri was also a pivotal state in yet an
other and larger sense-she was the
jumping-Off place for that wild and
unknown country called the Wild West
the land west of the Missouri river.
She made the midway point between
the frontiersmen Of Kentucky and
those Of the great plains, occupying a
generation Of history herself as a
frontier commonwealth.

Lesson in Dictates.

What bread needs to make it per-
feet food-a perfect food is that which
contains protein, carbohydrates, and
fat In certain definite prOpOrtiOns-iS
something with fat in 1t. Hence bread
"and butter" and bread land drip

and beans pair quite properly, because
the beans supply the absent protein.
When you eat beef and potatoes, or
roast beef and Yorkshire pudding. the
pairing makes a perfect food. The
pairing of condiments is not a matter
Of taste alone. Cabbage is peppered
because 1t was discovered that pepper
discounted the excessive action Of
greenstuff on the bowels. Mustard
goes with beef, but not with mutton,
because mutton is much more easily
digested than beef. and mustard is a
first-class igester.-MOntreal Herald.

Alarm Clock for the Deaf.

An alarm clock which will prove use
full to the deaf and also to those
whom the ordinary alarm clock fails
to arouse has recently been patented.
At the hour at which the alarm is set
not only does the bell ring but wood
en- ruler taps the sleeper gently on the
head until the "cease action" lever is
pulled. This should prove ef1cacious
except for those who sleep with their
heads under the bed clothes. The In
vention has received the patronage Of

LUCKY AND UNLUcKY DAYS
Study of Statistics Will Enable Al
most Any One to Justify His
-l.= Pet Belief. 49,

Cold. hard statistics prove that the
greatest number of premier awards
for gallantry were won on Monday.
No other day showing an thing like
the same record. though the much
maligned Friday stands out notice
ably.
Which fact gives some color to the
superstitiOns many people have about
certain days of the week being lucky.
while others are unlucky.
Tuesday seems to be the bad day
Of the week; calamities are far more
common on that day than on any other
day. Railway disasters, fires, street
accidents-the record in each case Is
held easily by Tuesday. And it Is
the day most favored, too, by those
who desire to put an end TO their exist
ence.
Saturday also has bad reputation;
its speciality is murders; and fully
half the petty crime that is dealt with
in the police courts occurs on that
day. But probably that is because
Saturday also holds the record for
drunkenness.
There is nothing very distinctive
about Thursday beyond the fact that
it is the day upon which the BIRTH
rate Is highest; and Sunday is notice
able only for its low death-rate.
Wednesday is, above all the rest,
the day of weddings. This applies to
all classes, and nearly as many mar
riages are celebrated on that day alone
as upon any three of the Others.-Mon-
treal Herald.

ST|RS
LONDON FOLK

LONDON, Feb. 2S. (By Mail }
Jacob Epstein, American sculptor,
has set London talking by the exhi-
bition of his statue of the Risen
Christ.
The Savior is represented by a
more than life sized stone figure,
bearing the wrappings of the tomb.
The arms are free and the right hand
is held upon level with the breast
while the left hand points to the
wound in the palm caused by a nail
Of the crucifxion.
The body is slender and unac-
centuated, and the effect of slimpess
lis intensified by the long line of a
portion of the grave clothes hanging
from the right arm to the ground.
The face is grave, grave and digni-
fed, with a small chin, high ridged
but delicate nose and the suggestion
of beard. The head is square and
high, poised strongly upon a slim,
straight neck.
There is nothing of the conven-
tional softness of feature so general
in the Italian representation of the
Christ.
Every man has his own idea of
Christ and I have tried to express my
idea in stone," said the sculptor.
"The. head is not racial head, it
is neither Jewish nor European. All
the great Italian Christs had some
thing of humanity in them, some-
thing universal. That is what l have
aimed at, to picture Christ first of
all q man."
