Word LOT" Of Puritan Orioin.

The use of the word "lot" to des-
iTnate field or plot of land, is uni
versal in the United States. 1t had
its origin among the Puritans, and
was the product of their strict adher-
ence to Biblical customs.
Among the early settlers of. New
England the extensive salt-marshes
from which the salt-hay was cut, were
owned in common, every man helping
himself to as much hay as he wished.
AS the population increased this con-
ditiOn could not prevail with general
harmony, and 1t was agreed to divide
the marshes equally among all the
families. This was done by the Bib
lical fashion Of lot and the portion
which fell to each man was known as
his lot" In a short time the word
came to apply to any piece Of land,
and finally reached the meaning of
any great quantity.

Father Of Three Kings.

Charles Bonaparte, father Of the
great Emperor Napoleon, was a hum
BILE lawyer, with no very extensive
practice, in the sleepy little town Of
AJaccio. in the isle Of Corsica. He
seems to have been a most affection
ate and exemplary parent, and as the
father Of three sons who became kings
Joseph, king of Naples and Spain; ;
Louis, King of Holland, and Jerome,
king of Westphalia), and fourth who
became the greatest military COM
mander, monarch and kingmaker of
modern times. he holds an unique
place in history.
There were thirteen children In the
family. Napoleon being the second.
Charles Bonaparte. although hardly
well-tO-do, strove to give his sons the
best possible education, and had he
not decided to send Napoleon (then
aged ten) to the military school at
Brienne, the whole course of the
worlds history might have been
changed.

FISH MISTAKEN FOR VESSEL
Peculiar Appearance Of swordfIsh
Gave Rise to Many Strange
Stories Concerning II.

In the warm waters of the Indian
ocean there lives a strange mariner,
who Is the cause of many tales among
the natives Of the nearby coasts. They
tell Of wonderful sail often seen In
the calm seasons, when not a breath
disturbs the water, and the sea rises
and falls like an immense sheet of
glass. Suddenly a sail appears, ap-
arently driven along by mighty
wind. This sail glistens with rich
purple and golden hues. On it comes,
Quivering and sparkling as IL covered
with gems; then, suddenly, II dis
appears as quickly as it came!
Many travellers have listened with
unbelief to this strange tale, until,
one day, this beautiful craft passed
directly under the stern of passing
vessel, and 1t was seen to be a gigan-
tic swordfish which is now known as
the "sailOr-fish." The sail was really
an enormously developed dOrsal fin,
over 10 feet high, and richly colored
with blue and iridescent tints. As
the fish swan along near the surface
Of the water this great fin waved t9
and fro, so that from a distance II
was easily mistaken for sail.

Proves Pasteurs Theory.

To prove his germ theory, Pasteur,
when he was twenty-six years Of age,
"a years ago, sterilized veal broth In
glass tubes and then sealed the tubes.
From time to time some Of the tubes
were opened, and |. appeared that by
exposure contamination occurred and
the broth decomposed. But some of
the bottles remained unopened and
the broth in these, examined on his
one hundredth birthday, proved as
clear and perfect as when originally
sealed In 1S4S.
1t ID asserted by the first American
pupil of Pasteur, now in Philadelphia.
to whom the great scientist gave one
of the sealed tubes, that the expert
ment demonstrates the truth of the en-
tire theory, that decomposition and
disease are due to the action Of mi

ease. and that germs do not occur of
their own accord out Of a substance
