AT REST ON BARREN ISLAND
Land Where Sir Ernest Shackleton
Sleeps Was Discovered by the
Famous Captain Cook.

South Georgia island where Sir
Ernest Shackleton will sleep on the
fringe of the wild and frozen soli-
tudes against which he opposed the
might of a hero's will, is in about the
same latitude as Cape Horn, which lies
1900 miles westward of it.
When Captain Cook was making one
Of his historic voyages around the
world in the Eighteenth century he
happened on South Georgia island, it
is recorded. At first he thought it
might be the "terro incognia Australis'
he was in search of, so he went ashore
and as he recorded in his diary "took
possession of the country in his maj
esty's name, under discharge OF
small arms"
When the great circumnavigator ex-
amined his discovery little more
closely and found it to be a mere
bunch of icy mountains, he concluded
that it was mot worth the discovery.
Nevertheless he "called this land the
Isle Of Georgia in honor Of his maj
esty." His majesty, by the way, was
none other than George III.
A hundred years later the seafar-
ing men of New England came to the
conclusion that South Georgia island
was not as worthless as Captain Cook
had supposed. 1t was great place
for fur seals. They slaughtered more
than 100000, virtually exterminating
them in that part of the Antarctic
Then came harvest Of elephant oil,
extracted from the blubber of the
sea elephant, the giant Of the seal
family.

Napoleon Relic Stolen.

The sofa on which Napoleon I rested
on the day before the Battle Of Jena
has been stolen from the Grunnen-
baum inn by Germans. This is not the
first time that relics Of the great cap
tain tempted the cupidity of "collec-
tors" In 1864, the saber presented by
the city of Paris to Napoleon on the
occasion Of the birth Of the king of
Rome was stolen from the castle of
Stolzenfelds. This saber had been
found, it is said, by the Prussians in
the imperial coach after the Battle of
Waterloo. The hilt and scabbard were
of solid gold, encrusted with precious
stones. At the same time the robbers
made away with Prince Murat's saber
which was also very valuable. and
several other souvenirs, including
Blucher's sword.-From lie Petit

HOUSEHOLD WORDS NOT OLD
In Everyday Use Today, but Really
Have Not Long Been Incorpo-
rated in the Language.

Most persons probably think that
the word starvation" is as old as the
language; but it isn't. 1t was first
used in 1875 in speech made In par
Nament by Henry Dundas, who in
consequence became widely known as
starvation Dundas."
INTENSITY" and outsider" are two
words less than hundred years old.
The English poet, Coleridge, delib-
erately coined the former word because
there was no other In existence to ex-
press the particular shade Of meaning
which he wished to convey; and "out-
sider' came into being in 1874, during
the convention that nominated James
X. Polk for President. The delegates
were subjected to uncomfortable pres
sure bP the throng Of spectators gath
cred without the hall, and some one
happily described it as pressure
from the Outsiders" The term was
taken up by the reporters apd at once
became popular.
Other words unknown until the mid
die of the Seventeenth century in
clude such now familiar ones as
sculptor" umbrella" "opera," "sui-
cide' and peninsula" while Bentley
in the Eighteenth century had actual
ly to defend himself for using such
strange terms as "timid," "concede, -
"repudiater "idiom" and 'vernacu-
lar" and George Campbell In 1776
hesitated to use such queer new words
as Originate" "sentimental' and
"criminality."

Constipation Often
Poisons System
Mrs. Boyce Tells Her Experience

The majority of people suffer from
constipation which poisons the whole
system and causes coated tongues, bad
headaches, foul breath and actual ILL
ness in children often results in high
fever and worm trouble.
These conditions may be quickly re-
lieved by DIR. True's Elixir, the True
Family Laxative and Worm EXpeller
that has worked wonders for men,
women and children since 1851.
II have great faith in your DIR. True's
Elixir. l give it to my boy, it is doing
him much good and l would not be
without a bottle for anything" Mrs.
Joseph Boyce. (Tracey Station, N. B.)
You know the symptoms of chronic
constipation: Sour stomach, belching,
offensive breath, heavy dull eyes, con-
stant headaches, and general out-of-
sorts, grouchy feeling. Let DIR. True's
Elixir help you. 40c-60c-s1.20!

UNITED STATES LIFE TABLES

The Bureau Of the Census is
about to issue the second official pub
!ication on life tables. These tables
show conditions that existed in 1890,
1901 and in 1910, thus making it
possible to study the changes which
have taken place in mortality dur
ing two decades. It is shown that
mortality at all ages is higher among
men than among women. 1t APP
pears that tie s.lost favorable NOR
tally in this country is found among
women living in the rural districts.
The rural classes, regardless of sex,
enjoy a much lower mortality for
nearly the entire range of life than
those living in the cities. While the
expectation of life, both among men
and women in most cases has steadi-
ly increased there is no indication of
any definite lengthening of the span
of life. In other words, while al
most all classes of persons are living
to an older average age, the limiting
age of human life does not seem to
have advanced.
In 1901 the expectation of life
among white females at birth was
about three years more than among
white males, and in 1910 the ex-
cess in favor of the females had in
creased to almost three and one-half
years. There seems to have been a
general improvement for all classes
for the ages up to about 40 years
for men and age so for women, ex-
cept for the Negro population. Above
these ages no improvement is shown,
and in some cases the mortality at
the older ages in 1910 was actually
less favorable than it was in 1901.
