KNIFE NAMED FOR INVENTOR
Deadly Weapon in Hand-to- Hand com- bat Was That Designed by Col.
 James Bowie.

The bowie knife took its name from
 that of it's inventor, Col. James Bowie,
 an American soldier, born in Burke
 county, Georgia, about 1790, who was killed at Alamo, Tex, March 6, 1886. He became notorious in 1927 from a duel fought near Natchez. Miss, which
 resulted in a general melee, in the
 course of which six men were killed
 and fifteen wounded. During the fight Bowie killed Maj. Norris Wright with
 a weapon which had been made from a large blacksmith's file or rasp. This
 weapon he afterward had fashioned by
 a cutler in Philadelphia into the knife
 which has since borne his name.
 The blade of the bowie knife is from nine to ten inches long, and has only
 one edge; the back is straight for 'three-quarters of it's length, and then curves toward the edge in slightly concave sweep, while the edge finishes toward the point in a convex curve.
 The guard is very small, and the tongue is of the full breadth of It's grip or barrel, which Is formed of two rounded pieces of wood or bone. The best knives of this type were
 made by frontier blacksmiths of old horse rasps and the like, and natural Iy differed much in size and pattern.

GATHER FOR GREAT FESTIVAL
"DeVil Dance" Is Important Occasion , in MongoIia-DriVing Out the
 Spirits of Evil.

The devil dance is one of the great est festivals of the Lama church in Mongolia. It takes place each spring, and represents the chasing out of the spirits of evil. The dance is simply a series of pOsturings of men and boys in rich costumes, wearing fearsome animal masks, accompanied by an im- pressive chant.
 The midsummer festival is also an interesting affair. It is a survival of the primitive nature cult, and attracts crowds of pilgrims. Caravans begin to arrive days in advance. The Liv- ing Buddha appears in his fringed orange felt helmet, the abbots in their fat lacquer hats, the lesser lamas in silk or brocade skull caps, and the lay officials in old Manchu hats,- topped with cOlOred buttons to denote their rank. The whole company rides out to the monastery gate before dawn to the ObO Or sacred mount. These are elevations crowned with piles of stones and decorated with prayer banners. They represent the ancient tOtems to the nature spirits.
 The ceremony must be completed by sunrise, when all return to the mOnas-- tery for a big feast. The ceremony at the Obo is a riot of cOlOr A weird service is held in which huge bronze trumpets, six feet long, flutes made from sea shells and libation cups from human skulls, are used.

SIMPLE IDEA FOR CALENDAR
Vermont Man Tells of Arrangement by Which 1t Is Easy to Find
 Date Wanted.

The following simple method of finding the day of the week for any date in month, when the first day of January is known, has been hand ed down among us for two centuries.
 Supposing that the new year be- gins on Wednesday, we place that day opposite the latter A, with the follow ing days opposite the next six letters, and with Tuesday opposite G. The first days of the 12 months are Op- posite the initials of this sentence: At Dover dwell George Brown, Esq, good Carlos Finch and David Frar."
 For the ordinary year the initial days of the months, as above, are Wednesday, Saturday, Tuesday, Thursday, Sunday, Tuesday, Friday, Monday, Wednesday, Saturday and Monday
 As the first, eighth, fifteenth, twen- ty-second and the twenty-ninth day~in each month are on the same day of the week, it follows that the 1st of December and the 29th fall on F and the 31st on A. The first and last day of each year, excepting leap year, fall on the same day of the week. For leap year use the seven letters, be- ginning A with the week day that stood originally for B on New Years day.-Edward H. Williams Jr., Wes- terdale, Vt, in New York Herald.

RICH IN HISTORIC INTEREST
City of Santo Domingo Crowded With Landmarks Connected With the
 Famous Conquistadores.

SantO Domingo is rich in historic interest. It is the oldest of all the permanent settlements of American soil. Here Columbus founded various colonies, and SantO Domingo city be- came his favorite of all the New world. It was here that he spent some of the happieSt time of his life, and here that he was reduced to priS- on by his political enemies, and from here he was sent in chains and dis grace to Spain. The old tower where he was imprisoned still remains, and his bones lie in the great cathedral of Santo Domingo city.
 In this oldest city of the New world one still sees the remains of the first church built ill America Its foundations were laid in 1902. Here is the house where COrtez kept the court records before he had ever heard of Mexico. From here Ponce de Leon set out in his search for the Fountain of Youth. Here lived Pig ZarO before he went to Panama, and sailed down the west coast to con- quer the Inca empire. Everywhere one turns he encounters old land marks where the famous conquis- tadores had their first experiences in the New world.
 Padre le las Casas entered the priesthood here, and in his indigna- tiOn because of the abuse of the h. dians by the Spaniards began to i'm port slaves from Africa to make light CT the work of the Indian labOrers. Here was founded the first university of the New world when in 1888 royal charter was granted for the es- tablishment of the University of St. Thomas.

Primitive People.

The natives of St. Hilda, in the Hebrides, have decided to abandon a quaint custom which they have fol lowed for more than century, of electing their own queen. Hereafter they will take the natural descendant. They have depOsed Queen Margot and will recognize Mary as their sovereign. This news comes as the first cOmmuni- cation from the island since last September and was brought to London by a vessel which delivered census papers at the island. The natives there speak only Gaelic, but the census papers were printed in English. Otherwise the chief happenings on the island include An influenza epidemic, which caused many deaths. Persons aboard the ship who could converse with the natives said the chief ques- tion on the island was whether the war had broken out again.

There are some good phrases there and you should study

 The doorbell rang jarringly.
 Jimmy gave farewell backward look, saw her brandishing another paper before his eyes, felt her hand upon his arm. But he jerked away angrily from those fingers he had so loved to touch, accidentally, of course, at their tasks.
 ''Pl read no more fool marks" he said.
 But this is typed transcript of the fool marks, Jimmy" she explained. T knew you were fraud and pre- pared this for you," and suddenly her arm went about his stubborn neck, frightened, and brought his eyes down within range of the typewriter words

 ''Jehoshaphat !" Jimmy waited to read no more, but blinking at the heavenly light that enveIoped him. he kissed his teacher, and together they went to the door to let in the Shark.

cultured sIovakIan PeopIe.

The inn at Turciansky Sv. Martin In northern central Slovakia is a real social center. Here the inhabitants of this cultural center of Slovakia as- semble for song and gossip. In spite of the antiquity of their get-up, the peasants of the region are among the most cultured people in Europe; their little town is a center of the printing industry and boasts a most inter- esting museum. The women of SlO+ vakia, although the difficulty in ob- taining linens and colored thread with which to make their embrolderies IS now great, still work with the same care and reverence for traditional craftsmanship as formerly. Indeed the peasant woman of Detva, Slo- vakia, both in the work upon which she Is engaged and the beautiful clothes she wears, would seem to be a living model for her sisters in the neighbOring villages. It Is in their gardens that these women work, sur rounded by their children.

"Oh. -you-l' she gasped, almost inarticulately, as she beat him away with her fists. He's saved the baby and nov"
 She turned from her father and fairly jerked Jim through the door. As she locked the door and breathed a sigh of thankfulness the air was filled with vast disturbance. The cyclone was roaring above them.
 When the wind had quieted some what so tlnt Jim could make himself heard he drew Betty and her father close together.
 Il thought your nephew, John Simp- son, had taken the bonds." said Jim. q trailed him to Chicago. But he hasn't got them. l don't know who's got them. An0 when l got back here I heard of that affidavit for my arrest so hid in here."
 "Jim didn't take them I" cried Betty shortly. Father, you've just got to say you're sorry for what-and after Jim saving the baby!"
 Henry Simpson looked first at Jim, then at the baby held tightly now in Betty's arms. As he looked at the baby his stern face softened.
 q must've been out of my head" he mumbled. "SO much trouble and then this storm. I-I don't believe you took lem, Jim!"
 He held out his hand to Jim. Jim clasped it tightly.
 It was about an hour later when the damage caused by the storm had been inventoried that Betty chanced to look at the old Overalls which were still partly draped about the baby. And as she looked she gasped. In the right hip pocket were the missing bonds!
 Old Grandfather Simpson grinned at her fOOlishly as she looked at them in amazement.
 -"ThOught I better put 'em in safe place." said-her grandfather. q swan I clean forgot all about em!"
 "Oh, you old dear!" cried Betty suddenly and -tempestuOusly, as she flung herself at her grandfather and kissed him.
 And who, under the circumstances, could blame her for doing so?

Worth one's Salt.

The phrase mot worth his salt," dates back to the time when salt was regu- larly dOled out to the soldier as part of his pay, and one's rank was desig- hated by his place at the table in ref erence to the position of the salt-mem- bers of the-family and honored guests being placed above the Salt, while re- tainers and servants sat below it. The Arab considers as sacred the guest who has partaken of his salt, custom that might well be adopted elsewhere. In Africa handful of salt will pur- chase a bride, and while we have all heard of those rare mortals who are worth their weight in gold, or whose price is above rubies, apparently no one In that section has achieved the distinction of being worth his weight in salt. What a find Lots wife would have been to an African tribal king!

A Rattar World.

Whenever we get the notion in our head that the world is no better and life no easier to live than 1t ever was all we have to do to cheer up again is to reflect back to the old days when house cleaning meant that we used to have to get down on our hands and knees and work the skin off both of them trying to stretch an old carpet back into the space it occupied be- fore mother insisted on 1t being ripped up. Anyone who has ever laid car pet in the old way will tell these smart young folks of today who com plain about the chores they have to do that they know nothing whatever of the agOnies of house cleaning. In cidentally the folks who beat the dust out of the rugs with a stick aren't so numerous as they used to be.-DetrOlt Free Press.

Defense, Then Prosecution Rests.
 Mir Shanigan inserted his key quiet ly; walked softly, undressed silently and crept into bed.
 All his precautions were in vain. Mrs. Shanigan had been awake lis- tening and waiting for him. She told him she supposed he had been work ing at the office again; that she did not believe that story or any other he had ever told her; that she did not have to put up with him; that she could have a career; that even now the committee was waiting to see if she would accept the nomination for mayor; that she had been warned against him; that she was not now the foolish sentimental girl she was when she married him, and then a deep snOre showed. that
 The defense rested.
 Now everyone knows the prosecu- tiOn should rest first; so Mrs. Shani- gan jabbed MT. Shanigan with her elbow; shook him; fused, fumed, scOlded and wept; but it was no use. He slept on, soundly.
 The prosecution also rested.-Kath- ertne Negley, in Judge.

EerrYboat Pavilion.

As a fitting complement to a swim ming pool built on Connecticut es- tate recently, a ferrybOat pavilion has been erected, says Popular Mechan- ics Magazine. This boat has all the fittings of a regular craft of its type being equipped above with life boat, life preservers, funnel and pilot house. The cabin is a spacious dance floor. where diversion from the swimming sport may be indulged in. The swimming pool forms a forward deck for the ferry. and is surround ed by a sidewalk set with benches ard chairs.
