Monsoose in Trinidad.

The mongoose was originally intro
duced into Trinidad from st. Lucia for
the purpose of Kidding the island of
both rats and snakes, but at the pres
ent time it is itself considered very
serious pest. Moreover the sugar pro-
duction of Trinidad has diminished
somewhat during the last few years.
chiefly because Of the rayages of frog
hoppers, since the lizards, which for
merly kept them in check, are being
exterminated by the mongoose. In fact,
many estate owners in Trinidad paw

thousands are destroyed every year
without any attempt being made to
save the skins. Consul Baker. there.

goose skins might have considerable
economic utility in the United States,
and has forwarded a sample of such
a skin to the bureau of foreign and
domestic commerce, where it may be
examined by interested persons.

PUT HUBBY IN BAD LIGHT
Matter of Mistaken Identity Promised
to Make Things Warm for Entirely
Innocent Man.

A certain resident Of Indianapolis,
who is one of twins, in company with
his wife and son, visited his twin
brother, who lives in the northern
part Of the city. The family was re-
turning home and had just reached
Washington and Illinois streets when
the wife saw the car, to which they
were to transfer, rounding the corner.
"Oh, here comes our car" she said,
and regardless Of the conductors IA
miliar warning, swat till the car
stops, lady," she jumped off backward,
alighting with considerable force on
the pavement. Refusing to give the
car crew her name and address the
family hurried home.
The next morning an auto stopped
in front of the brothers. home and an
inspector, motorman, conductor and a
policeman who had witnessed the mis-
hap Of the night before knocked on
the door and asked the condition of
the woman who had fallen. The
brothers wife volunteered the infor-
nation that no one there had fallen
from car. After an argument one
of the car crew remarked, "Well, If
some woman living here didn't fall off
my car, then her husband was out
with someone who did."-Indianapo

SPOON IN FAVOR WITH TURKS
Subjects Of the Sultan Have Little Use
for the Fork as Table
utensil.

According to figures compiled by the
American Cutlery bureau of informa-
ton, the average yearly requirements
of Constantinople before the war in
the way of cutlery were $4,000 dozens
OF table knives, $4,000 dozens of
spoons, 10000 dozens of forks, $4,000
dozens of scissors, $4,000 dozens Of
razors of all kinds and 5000 dozens of
hair clippers.
AS will be seen, much more spoons
are sold than forks, which is contrary
to the experience in other countries
where, as rule, more forks are re-
quired than spoons. This is explained
by the fact that Constantinople sup
plies great quantities of cutlery to
Asia Minor and other outlying regions
of the former Turkish empire, where
table manners still have not been de-
veloped up to the standard Of Paris.
The Arab is fond of the spoon, be-
cause it is handy in eating his cereals,
but he prefers to deal with chops by
way Of the fingers, which is a more
simple procedure than piercing ones
eye with a fork.
So it is the spoon that stands on the
top of the list of the cutlery orders
coming from Turkey to Uncle Sam.
1t is conceded in all foreign countries
today that American table cutlery
holds the center of the stage in point
of quality.

The LANGUAGE OF LOWERS
It Dates Back to the Time of the An.
Gent Romans, and Probably Is
Much Older.

1t was custom of the Romans to
paint rose on the ceiling Of the ban
quet hall, signifying that what was
told at the feast was not to lie re-
peated. From this custom originated
the expression, subrosa, the Detroit
News recalls.
The rose is the queen of love and
beauty and is the most eloquent of
all In the language of the flowers. The
red rose Is token of love and the
white of purity. A moss rosebud is a
confession of love, while a rose leaf
says, "You may hope" A white rose
signifies, II am worthy Of you," and
the yellow rose asks, "Are you jeal.
Ous?"
The yellow brttercup is dedicated
to the memories of childhood and I
riches. The Greeks and Romans used
one variety OF buttercup as remedy
for leprosy. 1t was also said that the
root was a sure cure for insanity If It
was gathered at the wane of the moon,
wrapped in linen and carried around
the neck of the afflicted person.

TRACE JAZZ MUSIC TO CHINA
Deals With Musical Criticism
to the Point.

The hunt for the origin of jazz has
led to the African jungle and to the
music Of cannibal feasts and orgiastic
dances. But, further back it can be
traced to the beginnings of civilization
in China itself. Confucius, who lived
nearly $500 years ago, edited a book
OF ceremonies called the Iii XII" The
book of ceremonies was venerable
Chinese classic long before Confucius
gave his attention to 1T. The sayings
in the Iii Ki'' represent viewpoint
of musical criticism in China which
perhaps corresponds to the date as
signed by the Jewish chronology for
the Garden of Eden. The eli XII de-
scrlbes music as powerful influence
for good or evil, and pictures the pre-
historic syncopation as follows:
1.-THE airs of Kang go to wild .ex-
cess and debauch the mind; those of
Sung speak of slothful indulgencies
and of women and submerge the mind !;
those Of Wei are strenuous and fast
and perplex the mind; and those of
Xii are violent and depraved and
make the mind arrogant. The airs of
these four states all stimulate libidi-
nous desire and are injurious to
virtue"
IT not jazz, what else falls in with
the description? Rang, Sung, Wei and
khi-all their scores have been lost.
Only the monotonous drum beat which
they doubtless contributed to prehis-
tOric jazz remains in modern Chinese
music.-Toledo News-Bee.

Peter and Paul Were In Rome.

According to the evidence and dis.
coveries Of two famous archaeologists
Of Rome, Professors Grossi Condi and
Orazio Maruechi, there no longer re.
mains any doubt that the Apostles Pc
ter and Paul both went to Rome and
suffered martyrdom there.
That doubt has been raised several
times in controversies between various
schools Of archa biologists.

OLDEST OF STATE NOTICES
That Of Maryland Was Adopted in
164e- Enshrined in History Of
the Commonwealth.

The Maryland suffragists who pro-
pose altering the states motto, "Fatti
Maschy Parole Feminae" Ito use the
old spelling), are proposing to put
rough hands to what should be sacred.
The offensive translation, Deeds are
masculine, words are feminine" is not
the only one possible. The secretary
of state could readily be directed to
give official approval to manly deeds
and wOmanly Words" which would
give women recognition they enjoy
In no other state motto.
But the best reason for jealousy
guarding Maryland's motto is that it is
the oldest the 6ation can boast-the
date Of its adoption is placed in 1913
and is enwrapped with Maryland
history to remarkable degree. Throw
away the Baltimore motto and Mary
land might as we'll turn the portrait
Of George Calvert, first Lord Balti-
more, to the wall.
There are other state notices that
are open to attack. Alabama's 'Here
We Rest suggests an obvious joke.
So does Washington's by and By"
Virginia's motto recalls John Wilkes
Booth, New York's the rather tawdry
defamation by Longfellow which it
inspired, and those of several other
states-like Kansas "Ad Astra Per
Aspera"-the rhetoric Of commence
ments. While these states .cleave to
their notices Maryland may well be
boastful of hers and it's associations.

Famous Mine MAY "come Back. =


The Comstock lode, once known as
the richest silver mine in the world,
and from which millions of dollars
were taken during the height Of its
fame, is about to come back to its
own. For years the lode was almost
deserted, and Virginia City, New, lived
along in a lethargy that included the
slow crumbling Of its buildings and
the rotting Of its sidewalks, until what
was one of the most colorful, blazing.
MISUNDERSTANDING towns in the
United States, became a monument to
dead hopes and mockery Of its for
mer self.
It has been discovered that thou
sands of tons of low-grade ore now
are standing in giant dumps, and yet
other thousands of tons resting in the
mines themselves, can be made to yield
as high as $40 ton under modern
methods of extraction.

Clarence enjoyed her admiring sym

flight of steps to the tumble when he

BY the time he reached the end of the
veranda he had improved his story by
rolling from the top floor of the hotel
