DEVOTED TO BRITISH CROWN
People Of the Island Of Jersey Have
for Centuries Been Proud Of
Their Loyalty.

There is no part Of the kings do
minions which has shown more &C.
tive devotion than the island Of Jer-
sey. The true Jerseyman still regards
the king as the successor Of the dukes
Of Normandy. Jersey elected to re-
main under the English crown In the
reign Of John, when the rest Of Nor
mandy reverted to France.
1t supported the Royalist cause dur
ing the Civil war and harbored Charles
II when he was In exile; It banished
Victor Hugo because Of some sighting
remarks Of his about Queen Victoria
and during the late war 1t passed It's
own military service act, for which
there was very little need.
Moreover, not once nor twice In this
rough island story has. armed In
vasion by the French been success
fully resisted. The last occasion was
in 1881 when the Jerseymen, although
surprised and outnumbered and desert
ed by their own governor, who was
preparing to capltulate, defeated the
enemy In a most sanguinary battle,
fought In the royal square Of St
Helier.-London Mail.

LUNG BATH SOMETHING NEW
sPhysloian Recommends It as Highly
ExhlIaratlns, Though Admitting
IL Can Be Overdone.

1--WE are all taking sea baths now"
said a doctor. Lots Of people take
mud baths, too. Stomach baths are
prescribed frequently for dyspeptics.
But few Of us take lung baths as we
should.
"You can swab out your lungs as
one swabs out room. Pure air does
1t. You go out where the air Is pure,
throw your head we'll back; inhale
through your nostrils as much Of this
pure air as your lungs will hold, and
then expel It swiftly and forcibly. Do
this Is or 20 times-even oftener If
you like. Astonishing how 1t will
cleanse your lungs Astonishing how
good 1t will make you feel
"Air is a great stimulant, and some
of these lung bathers overstimulate
themselves, so that they get nervous,
can't sleep at night and so on. They
do this by such tricks as breathing
the pure air In through one nostril
only, taking too many lung baths and
that sort of thing Such over-indul-
gence Is perhaps pardonable If you
have a piece Of hard mental work to
do, but If II is made habit of, II will
break down the health like over-in-
diligence In cocaine or hootch or any
other stimulant Free Press.

Plant Juice for Fish Bait.

Late in the dry season, when the
rivers are low in the heart of Africa,
the Gwari, who inhabit the central
Soudan, set out on prolonged fishing
expeditions. The natives who live on
the banks Of the rivers are proficient
fishermen, taking great pride In their
work, but the village Gwari are not
very sporting In their methods. They
go out for the final results rather
than for the pleasure Of the sport.
They pour the Juice of locust tree
pods into the pools, to which the
streams have shrunk, and this causes
the fish to leap out Of the water.
Wildly they leap, Topping out on the
dry river bottom as often as not, but
the excited natives do not wait for the
fish to catch themselves. They lean
over the shallow water, finding great
delight in snatchlng the leaping fish
as they flash from the river.
This custom of using the "jump
juice" seems to have been handed
down from time immemorial among
these strange Africans.

Tyrian purple, the most famous dye
of antiquity, was so expensive that in
the reign Of Diocletian one pound of
purple wool cost $40. which would
make the dye itself worth about 5000
a pound. In 1909 Professor Friedlau-
der gathered 1900 of the sea snails
from which this ancient dye was made,
and prepared a little Of the colorinR

AudacIous East Indian Bandit.

The death Of robber king,
Zarshah Shinwari, In q private quar-
rel in his native village, has been re-
ported from Simla, India. His most
famous exploit was the robbery Of
the Calcutta mail, near Peshawar, in
December, 1913, when, with a gang
of thirty men, he killed the guard,
driver, and fireman, and ransacked
II the mail-van, but failed to discover
the cash chest. Not daring to return
I at once to the frontier, he hid In the
hills near Attock. A Gordon of troops,
with police levies Of every description,
was drawn around him, but he evaded
them, and with consummate impudence
kidnapped the Hindu station master of
Khalrbad only two days after the
robbery Of the mail. He retired to
the Attock hills with his captive,
whom he then, as a browning piece Of
audaclty, set on donkey and marched
at the dagger's point along the Grand
Trunk road to Peshawar, across the
golf links, under the noses Of 5000
troops, and across the border into the
Afridi hills.

CHIEF EXECUTIVES AT PLAY
Sought Recreation In All Forms

II is said that President Harding is
the best golfer who ever lived In the
White House. Though he only took
up the game three years ago, he can
get round the Chevy Chase course at
Washington In 50, Eogey being II.
Mr.. Wilson, though at one time a
very good walker, was never keen on
games, with the one exception Of lawn
tennis. He played a sound game Of
lawn tennis. He is d good mechanic
and has on occasion shown that he
could drive a locomotive.
The late Mr.. Roosevelt was by far
the most athletic man who ever sat In
the presidential chair of the United
States. Some of his feats were extra
ordinary. So lately as 1909 he rode
9S miles In II hours over slushy Vir-
gilman roads. He never stopped any
where for more than ten minutes, ex-
cept once, at midday, for lunch and to

Sheen as Lawn Mowers.

In Central park, New York, and in
the parks of other cities, sheep are
used in substitution for lawn mowers,
These sheep are permitted TO wander
over the grass, In charge, Of course,
of a shepherd, and the nibbling Of
these creatures serves to keep the
grass nicely trimmed. The cost Of en-
ploying men to tend the sheep is not
more than that of hiring men to run
the mowers, and the pastoral effect
of a flock Of sheep grazing on the
lawns is certainly more pleasing to
city folk.
II has been demonstrated by expert
ence that sheep will maintain a lawn
in frst-class condition; and that the
grass thus trimmed is. as neat In APP
pearance as any lawn over which the
mechanical mower has passed.

WORLD HEARS NEWS QUICKLY
But One Hundred Years Ago the Horse
Was the Only Means Of "Rapld"
Communication.

A few hours after Caruso died the
civilized world knew Of It and was in
mourning. A hundred years ago
Napoleon died, on May 8. 1S21-and
II was exactly sixty days before the
world received the news, the New York
Evening Post states.
Though the English were expecting
his death at any moment and had made
every preparation to have word trans
mitted from st. Helena to England
with all possible dispatch, 1t was not
until July 4, that the news reached
London, having been brought there by
the sailing vessel Heron. In accor-
dance with the spirit Of the times,
the message was not given out on the
arrival Of the vessel, but was first con-
veyed to the colonial Office, an act
which required approximately two
hours In itself.
July 4. 1921, fell on Wednesday.
On Friday, July 8, the news reached
Paris. Messengers were dispatched
from Paris to Germany, where the
newspapers commented on the death
Of General Bonaparte" for the first
time on July II, sixty-eight days after
the event had taken place. And this
notice was In a paper published at
Mayence, then virtually French
town.
The vossische Zeitung, founded in
1904 and then, as now, the leading
German daily, contained no notice Of
Napoleon's death until July Ia, and
then 1t merely copied the London
Times. Private individuals living In
the provinces, regardless of their
station In life, received the news much
later. 1t was not conveyed to Goethe,
then living at Weimar, until the very
last Of July. He received 1t In a
letter bearing a black seal.

Baby Accorded Privilege.

Captain Vidal. Of the steamship
Canada, which locked at Providence,
r. l., wired his superiors in Mar
sellles that a baby boy who was born
aboard the vessel during the passage
from France had been named In honor
Of the steamer, Auguste Canada Pera
Lazsr. The officials extended to the
little fellow the lifelong privileges Of
the boat, so whenever Canada wishes
10 visit France he may do so as a
guest Of the Canada or any other
boat Of the line.

JOY THAT COMES BUT ONCE
Statesman Recalls Thrill Of Delight
That Came to Him In His
Schoolboy Days

William G. Redfeld, former secre-

call with microscopic distinctions the
moment that gave himthe biggest thrill

ing to master long division.

ordinary yawn, but one of such genu-

in general that 1t attracted Redheld's
attention.
He was fortunate in having a paper
wad right at hand, ready for any emer-
gency, and he aimed this at the boys
cavernous mouth. By one of those
rare exhibitions Of magnanimity on
the part of an inanimate object the
wad went right square into the goal,
and Redfleld's Joy knew no bounds.
He had played the one chance In a

Fox Ranching in Europe.

Although it is not generally known,
quite a number of foxes were sold last
year to parties residing In Europe,
mainly throughout Sweden, Norway
and Switzerland. One rancher who
has supplied a number of pairs to
these Europeans, states that the in
dustry is spreading in truly wonder
full manner in these countries, and
that this year he expects to be able
to sell practically all his foxes abroad.
There is only one drawback at present
to a general spread of the industry
there. and that is the rather high cost
of feeding, but this is being overcome,
and the sale Of breeding stock at good
prices will amply cover the higher ex-
pense. The present rate of exchange
is also a disadvantage, but this does
not seem TO affect those who want to
start in at the business, as the Euro
peans are now used to this. There is
most certainly a big field IN Europe
for the fox industry, and that II will
some day amount to something big is
surety.
