ACTS ON SENSITIVE NERVES
Scientific Explanation as to Why Blow
on Jaw ls Calculated to Cause
Knockout"

The knockout blow is scientifically
explained as follows: When the low
er jaw Is struck on its point, especial
ly with an uppercut. the bony portion
Of the ear inside is driven fercibly up
ward into the glenoid cavity of the
skull, above and behind which is sit
uated the delicate labyrinth of the
inner ear.
The jawbone strikes hard upon the
thin plate of bone that supports these
sensitive organs and gives a shock to
the semi-circular canals that Is in
stantly transmitted by them to the
bulb, producing dizziness, nausea and
momentary paralysis.
This explains why a sideways blow
on the jaw Is more effective as n
knockout than one delivered directly
upon the point of the jaw. For the
shock of a sideways blow is received
In one glenoid cavity, that on the side
opposite the one on which 1t is struck,
while the shock of a blow in the center
is divided between the cavities on the
two sides.

REMEDIES CALL FOR FAITH
Truly Weird and Wonderful Are Some
"cures" for Various Ills Of
the Human Body.

Weird and wonderful are the RENE
dies advised in different parts of the
world for diseases which affect hu-
mainly.
Sufferers from rheumatism may be
pleased to hear that there are people
who claim to have found a sure cure
for their malady by binding split
mackerel around the affected part.
The town of Lee, In England, still
has on record the famous cure known
as the Lee Penny" This coin was
brought from the Holy Land by a Cru
sader. On many occasions when the
health of the people has been threat
ened this penny has been used. ''Three
dips and one swirl" In a bucket of wa
ter were supposed to endow the liquid
with healing properties.
In many parts of Europe 1t Is
thought that passing under an ass q
child suffering from w%hooping cough
will bring instant relief.
Almost every one has heard of the
curing of warts by touching them
with a wedding ring. This "cure" is
perhaps not so well known: Make the
sign of the cross on a wart, at the
same time chanting What l see, that
wish what l wish, that disappears"

Meteorite Of Great Age.

Meteorites of indicated great age
are conspicuous by their absence from
museum collections. and 1t is suggest
ed that such specimens may disinte-
CRATE and disappear from the rocks
within a relatively short time after
falling.
The British museum, however, has
lately acquired a slice Of somewhat
less than a pound from a meteorio
iron that is believed to represent an
ancient fall. The slice Is from one
of two similar masses that were found

GREATEST OF ALL P0WEES
Wealth, Ancestry. Genius, and knowd-
edge All Pale Before the Won
drous Magic Of Beauty.

The magic Of beauty is more potent
than was that of Simon Magus or of
Paracelaus. Beauty Is a different thing
from ornament, which may be the dis
guise of ugliness. II IL a gift for which
no artificial attractions can ever be o
substitute. 1t Is a power greater than
birth. wealth. knowledge or genius.
People may be proud of their birth
but after all we are not our ancestors.
The rich man may transmit his wealth
to his offspring, but 1t may be all
wasted in a single generation. Knowl-
edge may be a satisfaction to its pos
SCISSOR. but has II not been said that
"the more a man gaineth of knowledge
the more he gaineth of sorrOw?' Gen
ius. although 1t wins admiration. may
be an obstacle rather than an aid to
success In life. Burns and Poe and
Baudelaire had genius, but 1t did not
bring them any worldly advantage.
Beauty. on the contrary. Is a key
which opens all doors. 1t shines on the
world like the sun. and its influence is
universal. In Emerson's words, 1t is
"its own excuse for being" To be
beautiful is to be worshiped, idolized.
caressed. and adored. The plain, good
people may protest against the injus-
tice of a world which prefers beauty
TO virtue. But the fact remains

Uncrowned English Queens.

There have been several uncrowned
queens of England. The first was
Margaret of France, the second wife
of Edward l.. Money was scarce In
the government Golfers at the time.
and Edward could not afford the ex-
perse of a coronation. The four later
wives of Henry VIII, Anne BOleyn's
successors-Jane Seymour, Anne of
Cleves, Catherine Howard and Cath
crime Parr - were eve publicly
crowned as queen consorts. Henrietta
Marie, the wife of Charles l, being q
strict Catholic, refused to take part in
a state function which would compel
her to partake Of the sacrament ac-
cording to the rites of the Church of
England. Sophia Dorothea, the wife
of George I, and mother of George II,
was never recognized as queen of Eng
land and therefore car not be classed
as one of Britain's %uncrowned queens.
Caroline of Brunswick, the wife of
George Nv, was not permitted to be
present in Westminster hall at his
coronation.

The city ways are dark and drear
The city walls SO hem us in

And things that we had learned tc

It's mooing cattle, and the noise
OF the glad rooster makes III turn
To country life. and yearn and

And we think of waiting plows.
And we think of milking cows,
And we think Of stopping pigs.
And we think of greasing rigs,

And then of feeding bunting calves
And then of wearing out our legs
To hunt for and collect the eggs
And all the scrimping and the fuss

Judging from her letter, the mis-

Mrs. Charlie Taylor, II. i. ID. No. I,

place their sole dependence on it
for coughs, colds. stomach and

TREE PLANTING BY ROADSIDE
Shade 10 Great Help In Keeping Pave
ment In Prime Condition
Beauty ls Added.

There is a newly discovered benefit
IN tree planting by the roadside. 1t
has been learned of late that the
shade-or partial shade of roadside
trees Is a great aid in keeping the
pavement in prime condition. The au-
thorities tell us that during the hot
days Of summer improved roadbeds are
injured by the direct rays Of the sun
and that the partial shade Of trees
planted by the roadside enables the
cement or other pavements to stand
much longer unimpaired. Roadside
trees will far more than pay for them
selves by assisting in preserving good
roads, Then there is the beauty Of
shade trees. and If fruit trees are
planted think Of the abundance OF
peach, plum, pear, cherry. apple and
other fruit trees growing by the road
side which in the aggregate would
amount to millions Of dollars If gen
orally planted through the fruit grow
ing sections Of the United States.

Baton Rouge. - Administration op-
pOnents launched their fight in earn.
est against the Claiborne resolution
which would create commission to
Investigate tho city government of
New Orleans, and lost the first tilt by
a decisive vote.
The first test came before the
House committee on appropriatioDs
when opponents OF the measure, led
by J. Marian Hamley sought 10 have
the resolution SO amended as to do
fer the Investigation until September
18th after the primaries.
The committee voted nine to five
against the amendment and followed
this up by reporting the resolution IA
vorably
Every effort Is being made, how
ever, to line up House members
against the resolution and that the
fight 20 postpone the investigation
will be launched again on the floor
of the House seems certain. The ad-
ministratiOn will be found we'll pre-
pared for any such move, II is stated,
with majority more than sufficient
to put the resolution through as it
stands.
The resolution, following the favor
able report on II, went over under the
rules and will come I'D again soon.
In making his fight for postpone
ment until September Is before the
committee, Mr.. Hamley had the
hearty support OF Charles ByrDe, who
though not member of the commits
sion, appeared to fight the measure.
The clash was brief and when Mr.
Hamley's motion that the resolution
be amended was voted on he found
that of the committee only II. b. Con
ner, J. S. Leclerc, ]. T. Tanner, and
l.. n. Gremillion voted with him.

When the balloting on the 44th vote

the necessary two-thirds OF 729, Sam
b. Amidon Of Kansas, manager OF the

took the platform and moved that the
nomination of Governor Cox be made

Immediately there was roar from

lasted for four minutes before Chair
man Robinson could put the question
on Amidon's motion to suspend the
rules and nominate Cox by acclima-
