The first record We have of the
genus clown was in 1852, originating
with the French. who never considered
a play or performance complete with
out the funmaking Pierrot. as he was
known in these days; later the English
developed this comis character, who
always appeared with whitened face
with tufted wig
But It remained for the American
circus fraternity to enlarge on the
medieval French ideas, to produce the
real clown OF today, whose work Is
that of real art. and without which. no
circus is complete.

HAD BATTLE IN OPEN GRAVE
Obseduies POSTPONED While Terrier
and Wildcat Settled Their Little
Difficulty.

Alfred Searcy is to Australia what
Buffalo Bill and the other scouts and
pioneers of our early West are to
America. Life, too, in the Australian
northwest was no less rough than upon
our own Indian plains. Searcy tells
this story of a burial in the early
days" at Port Darwin:
"At the grave it was discovered that
wildcat had taken refuge in it. The
warden of the goldfelds, who was to
conduct the service, requested the re-
moval of the animal but this was OBJ
jected to by the owner of terrier
with a reputation. This sport
thought the opportunity to see a fight
too good to be lost, and the majority
of those present quite agreed. More

Cloth From the Pineapple.

The pineapple, naturally, gets its
chief notoriety from it's excellent fruit
but there is another use widely known
in the Philippine islands and other
torrid lands. The same species, OF
perhaps a near ally, can be so grown
as to produce leaves eight feet long
and containing a fiber of such strength
and beauty that its cultivation has
long formed an important industry In
these countries.
But no machine has yet been found
by which the fibers can be cheaply ex-
tracted. The outer skin is remarkably
tough and force strong enough to
crush it spoils the fiber, so it has to
be peeled off with a knife and the
fibers pulled out by hand
This is a long process, and, how
ever cheap labor is, the fiber is still
Expensive. But it is greatly priced
for making cloth, because of its SILKY
ulster. Europeans visiting the Philip
pine islands often bring back, as a
souvenir, piece of this pima cloth,
so greatly priced by the F'ilipinos.

Caribou.

Caribou. says the Handbook Of In
lians of Canada, published by the
geographic board, is the common name
of the North American reindeer, of
which there are two chief Species
the woodland caribou, and the barren
ground caribou. The word came into
the English from the French of east
ern Canada, where it is old. the writer
Sagard-HeOdat using it in 1852. dur
ing the lifetime of Samuel de Cham
plain. The origin of the word is said
to be Micmac, the language of the In
dams who inhabited what are now the
Maritime provinces. They were
known as Micmacs. They had word
related to caribou, being the name of
the deer, and it meant paving or
scratching, from the habit of the carl
bou paving away the snow with its
forelegs to find the foOd-chiefy moss
upon which it subsisted in winter.
Formerly the word was often spelled
cariboo, which gave name to the Carl
boo district in British Columbia fa-
nous for its gold mines.-Montreal

Other Diseases.

The simplest treatment for tuber-

exposure to the rays of the sun in the

cessfully in Switzerland for many
years, has recently received an impe-
tus in this country by the suggestion

ent parts of The spectrum, and there
will be silence in other parts.
For instance, if the vessel contains
red worsted and the green light
flashes upon it loud sounds will be
given forth. Only feeble sounds will
be heard when the red and the blue
parts of the rainbow fall upon the
vessel. Other colors will produce no
sounds at all. Green silk gives out
sound best in a red light. Every kind
of material gives more or less sound
in different colors and no sound at all

1t Is said that these two wonderful
heroes were so marvelously matched
that neither was able to surpass the
other, and, accordingly to test theil
relative superiority they met in single
combat for five consecutive days OF
an island in the River Rhine withou
either gaining the least advantage over
the other. At the end of the battle Of
Roncesvailes, it is said Roland was
actually wounded by Oliver, who hat
himself received a death blow. From
the ridiculous manner in which the
adventures of these two heroes were
recounted, the saying, "a Roland fol
an oliver" grew the matching of one
lie with one still greater.

The expression "A Roland for an

Life insurance grew out of marine
insurance, for merchants sending
goods by sea in early times usually
accompanied the ship themselves. and
were liable to capture by pirates, es-
