LOWERING PRICES IN
BATTERY BUSINESS.

The Brunswick Battery & Motor
Co, who represents Willard Storage
Batteries here, announce a new price
reduction, effective December 18th.
"Thts is but another adjustment of
prices to the changing cost of raw
materials" said Mr.. Jas. D. Gould, Jr.,
manager of the company, "and not a
change in the standards of quality for
which the Willard Battery has been
noted. Nor is the quality of service
that goes with that battery to suffer
any change whatever. We believe
chat a battery's reputation depends
largely upon the care it receives, and
Rect to continue to help our Gus,

yet subsidized and people kept dropping into

He never showed 1t to any one but his
mother. and he didn't like to be pestered by
curious people always asl.ing him about the
war and about his part in 1t. He stood the

didn't want people bothering him with ques-

getting into the army. He was rejected six
times when he tried to enlist and wasn't even

tors passed him hurriedly and he went to
camp. His parents thought the rigors of
the camp and trench would be too much for
the lad. But Archie proved before he came
home that Drawn is not essential to bravery.
And since the war he has proved that mod
esty is also an attribute of bravery.

INTENDED TO ADVISE RULER
Cabinet Of President of the United
States a Copy Of Old lnstitu-
ton In Europe.

From the earliest times the king
of England was assisted In his gov
eminent by a body of men known as
the 'privy ccuncil'-men whose adj
vice was sought In the graveSt and
most delicate affairs of state. But,
with the gradual increase of the demo-
cratic character of parliament, the
real government Of the nation be-
came more and more vested in the
kings parliamentary ministers, while
the rank Of privy councillor came to
be bestowed as a purely honorary dis
tinctiOn upon men to whom little
was confided. AS a result the SOW
ereign resorted for advice to his
principal ministers and hence arose
the custom Of selecting the leading
parliamentary members Of the party
" power. When the United States
government was formed this idea Of
giving the ruler the assistance and ad-
vice Of a group Of picked men was
borrowed from the British system,
while the word cabinet" was taken
from the French, where it signifies
q small cabin or room-kings and
other potentates being accustomed TO
consulting with their ministers in a
private room or cabinet. "-Colum-
bus Dispatch.

Enqlish Place Names.

The charm of English place names
is not only in their ~bewildering va
riety but in the fact that almost all
OF them seem indigenous. At any
rate, they are all rooted deep, from
whatever original soil they came.
Latin and Danish names have been
w~eathered and mellowed In SO many
centuries of English history that n
remembers only with an effort that
they are not English In origin. Only
the Norman names have the slightest
tincture of foreign suggestion about
them. French is still a rather tender
exotic which needs to be trained
against the sunny southern wall Of
the language. Beaulieu does not seem
to belong naturally In Hampshire,
But even to domesticate the names
from the three or four other Ian
guages is no small triumph in verbal
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Science Mon
itOr.

MUST PROPOSE AMID NOISE
Curious Marriage Custom That Still
Prevails In Some Of the Nor
Wegian Districts.

Along the fjords Of Norway the old
customs are fast dying out, just as
they seem swiftly to be passing In
every other country Of modern Europe.
But In some Of the ford sections n
may still witness a few Of the old
customs In all their ancient charm, and
sometimes their oldtime whimsicality
and love Of rough play-for instance,
in what happens when a young man
proposes and during the wedding cere-
mOny.
In the district known as Sogn 1t has
been the custom for generations for
the boys Of the countryside to keep
such close watch on their brothers
that they know just when one Is going
to ask his sweethearts parents for
her hand. Hardly has the young mar
entered the house than from every side
ONE the oar Of small cannon and
the rattle Of rifles fired In the air,
and the ringing Of bells and blowing
Of horns.
The day Of the wedding, however,
the b~ridegroom's old friends flock to
his side and playfully endeavor to
keep his courage high. That neither
he nor the bride escapes without due
share of teasing Is clear In the fact
that sometimes as many as 200 guests
are at the wedding, and that the fes-
tivities may last an entire week.
The day when the nuptials are to be
celebrated the bride and bridegroom,
their parents and other relatives and
the guests form in line. Headed by
the fiddler they march to the doors OF
the church. It has happened that two
or ever three wedding parties meet
either on the way or at the church.
Then there is a notable competition
between the fddlers. Each tries to
Guido the other.-Temple Manning
In the Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Books and Reading.

OF course, there is a portion Of read
ing quite Indispensable to a wise man.
History and exact science he must
learn by laborious reading. Colleges,
in like manner, have their indispenS-
able office to teach elements. But they
can only highly serve us, when they
aim not to drill but to create; when
they gather from far every ray Of vari-
Gus genius to their hOspitable halls,
and, by the concentrated fires, set the
hearts Of their youth on flame.
Thought and knowledge are natures in
which apparatus and pretension avail
nothing. Gowns, and pecuniary foun-
dations, though Of towns of gold, can
never coutervail the least sentence or
syllable on wit. Forget this, and our
American colleges will recede in their
public Importance, whilst they grow
richer every year.-Ralph Waldo
Emerson.

low Camel Got His Harelip.

In The Women Of Egypt" Mrs.
Elizabeth Cooper, the author, says
that when she decided to ride a camel
and he was brought to the door she
tried to make friends with him, and
continues:
Il walked around him and examined
him closely. He smiled at me with
his harelip, which, If tales are true,
he obtained l~egitimately. When Allah
created the first camel he was lonely
and went around moaning and groan-
ing over his fate. 1t was then that
the sour, dissatisfied look came to his
face that is q distinguishing mark Of
all camels. Allah became sorry for
him, seeing what a fine disposition
was being ruined, so he sent q genie
to tell him that a spouse was being
created for him. The Jews delighted
the lonely camel so intensely that he
smiled and smiled until he split his
lip, and it has remained thus ever
since"

RECALL SOUTH SEA FASHIONS
Illustrations in Ancient Book Owned
by Museum Show CIoth Much
Favored by Bellies.

Fashions OF long ago in the South
Sea isles are recalled by a curious
book which recently became the
property Of the University museum,
remarks the Philadelphia Ledger. The
book, one of the three known to be in
existence, was published In London
in 1857. 1t is anonymous.
III. L. Hall, curator of the museum,
has attributed the authorship Of the
book to Warren Hastings.
Perhaps the most interesting part
Of the book is to be found in the illus
trationS, which are made from the
tupa cloth taken back TO England by
Captain Cook.
"Tapa cloth is a name given to a
whole series Of textiles made by the
natives Of the South seas from the
inner barks of certain trees. 1t was
used for garments and was considered
quite stylish.
4 yard would make a breech clout,
but some Of the fair damsels went
much further and ordered fifty yards.
Then tLey wrapped it around their
bodies and executed a dance, similar
TO the "seven wells" in which the tapa
cloth was slowly unwound.
Women Of the island have given up
the tapa cloth for dresses and now
wear ~calicos, when they wear any
thing at all.
Specimens Of tapa cloth are ex-
ceedingly rare because of the fact that
duplication in this day IS impossible.
The University museum WINS several
fine individual pieces, but the book,
showing virtually every variety known,
contains more than can be found any
whore else.
The text is a curious conglOmera-
ton. The style Of the work IS said
TO be so strong that 1t is little wonder
that the author concealed his identity.
One interesting instance related IS
the fact that one of the pieces Of tapa
cloth was given by a mother In pay
ment for her son who had been sold
for an son nail.
