"BIood Money"

"Blood Money" was the name ap-
piled in the Middle ages and well into
the more modern period to the money
paid for blOodshed. 1t might be either
the compensation paid by manslayer
to the nearest relatives Of the victim,
to secure himself and his kin frpm
vengeance, or the money paid as a
reward for bringing about the death
of another, directly or through evil
dence. 1t was once common among
the Scandinavian and Teutonic peo-
ples who called this money payment
wergild. The price varied with the
nature of the crime and the rank of
the victim. Certain crimes, such as
the Staying of a sleeping person. could
not be compensated by money pay
ment; such criminals were declared
outlaws and could be slain with i'm
punity The term is now often applied
to the reward or bride paid for giving
up criminal to justice.

Original PLAYING Cards,

The original pack of cards was a
culver of arrows. Playing cards are
regarded as derived from the divina-
tory use of the arrow away back in
the cradle of civiliZation-China or
India, says Stewart Culin, the archae-
ologist. The ancients played games
with marked arrows, and the
Museum of Archaeology, University of
Pennsylvania, has several specimens
of these primitive playing cards.
Ancient Chinese and Corean cards
are long and narrow, and by their
design and name show unmistakably
that they are conventionalized shaft
ments of arrows, retaining in their
suit marks the same symbolism as that
of the CULVER of arrows from which they
were derived. The old Corean and
Chinese name for playing cards is
fighting tablets"

NEW YORK HINT OF VENICE
Stately Homes That Seem to
Arise From the Water.

What the Brooklyn bridge is to the
resident of Brooklyn the reservoir is
to the middle uptown New YOrker-a
refreshing and beautiful place for a
brisk walk, says the New York Sun.
The reservoir, particularly the up
per one, with a path on the brink, is a
place of romance. Across the water
rise stately houses; they seem almost
on the edge of the water, like the
houses of Venice. Sometimes the
water is q sheet of ice. One day 1t
seemed like a stretch of gray taffeta,
with inserts of blue crepe where the
wind rippled the patches of water that
remained. Close to the shore broken
bits of ice tinkled continually against
a stretch of solid ice, with the sound
of sleigh bells.
But in summer there Is another
aspect to the reservoir. Horseback
riders gallop around in fetching cos
tunes, while the water sparkles in the
sun.
But there is one point at a certain
hour that lifts you out of New York,
out of America, out of the world. The
point Is the western stretch of the
southern side. The hour Is sunset. The
magic is produced by the fountain,
thin, high sweep of spray painted
with rainbow shades by the setting
sun. Up goes the stream, swirling into
a gigantic feather in the gentle hands
Of the breeze. Suddenly the rainbow
appears, to vanish as the wind swings
the spray In another direction, to re-
appear again for u few breath-catch-
ing seconds. The spray sweeps here
and there, covering you for an instant.
The sun leaves 1t for a moment and
the fountain becomes a bridal veil.
Out comes the sun and the fountain
flashes into glory.

Same Old Story But a Good One

Mrs. Mahala Burns. Savanna, Mo-.
relates an experience, the like of which
has happened in almost every neigh
bOrhood in his country, and has been
told and related by thousands of OF
hers, as follows: 81 used a bottle of
Chamberlain's Collie and Diarrhoea
Remedy about nine years ago and it
cured me of tluX (dysentery.) l had
another attach of the same complaint
three Or four years ago and few doses
of this remedy cured me. have re-
commended il to dozens of people
since | first used it and shall continue
to do so for | know it is a quick and
positive cure for bowel troubles"

A $4,000,000 cargo of gold and sill
yer was sunk off the Virginia capeS
ten years ago, and there it lies today.
The third attempt to salvage it has
just ended in failure. Probably other
attempts will be made, until one sue
ceeds. The world perforce has learned
a lot about salvaging in the last few
years. British companies nOwN are
working to a depth of 800 feet in rails
ing wrecks or removing cargo, and
even this may not be the limit. Since
marine ravages were mainly in zone
where the water seldom is deeper
than this, the field for salvage opera
tons may be imagined. Unluckily,
most items of cargo do not stand i'm
mersion in salt water Unless gold
and silver are present, or the vessel
itself is capable of repair, the wreck
usually is suffered to rest in peace.

Perhaps the saddest of English
words-the word which brings up
more thoughts of grief and fear than
any other word is death" This word
did not come to us from the classic
lands of Greece and Rome. 1t was
one of the words of the Germanic peo-
pies and has been English ever since
English was. The Angles, who went
to Britain from what is now South
eastern Schleswig, called the land can
gleland'' and from that word comes
England" Anglishe," or word
something like it, came to be ENG
lish." These Angles, and all the 9th
er Germanic peoples, had this word
"death" long before the English Ian
guage was spoken, and in the earliest
English we find the word spelled
"deth' and sometimes "deeth," and no
doubt from the spelling "deeth" we
arrived at spelling death"

IF WOMEN ONLY KNEW
What Heap Of Happiness 1t Would
Bring to Hurley Homes.

Hard to do Homework with an aching
back.
Brings you hours of misery at leisure
or at work.
If women only knew the cause-that
Backache pains often come from weak
kidneys
'Twould save much needless woe.
Doan's Kidney Pills are for weak kid
neys. Ask your neighbor.
Read what Hurley citizen says:
Mrs. JOS Grubber, 3rd Ave. & Ma pie
ST., says: 81 have been suffering from
kidney trouble for several years which
began with pain in the small of nv
back. AT times | was very weak
and suffered severely. My kidneys
acted irregularly and brought me much
annoyance. | got supply of Doans Kid
ney Pills at the Whitman Pharmacy and
began taking them. In short time
noticed relief Continued use entirely
cured me of my trouble and am pleased
to recommend them.
After several years Mrs. Grubber
said: Il am just as firm in my
belief in Doan's Kidney Pills now
as when endorsed them before. They
cured me of backache and kidney
complaint and praise them right along
Price Coo at all dealers. Don't simply
ask for kidney remedy-get Doan's Kid
ney Pills the same that Mrs. Grubber
had. Foster Milburn Co., Mfrs, Buffa-

We now have it on the authority of
DR.. Raymond Pearl, professor of BIZ
ometry and vital statistics at Johns
Hopkins university, that married folks
live longer than bachelors and old
maids, says the San Francisco ChrOn-
icle This sage conclusion is the re-
suit of the learned professors expert
ments with married and single flies.
He is convinced because married flies
live longer than single ones that
matrimOny is conducive to longevity
of humans. Doctor Pearl says that
mortality laws for both the flies and
human beings fundamentally are the
same. He has prepared and compiled
life tables for flies along the same
lines as insurance companies prepare
for human beings. While his deduc-
lions as to comparative longevity of
human beings are based upon the in
innate knowledge of flies, the doctor
does not advocate the fly life either
for single folks or married.

KILLED AND WOUNDED IN WAR

M. Troubert, director of health at
the French ministry Of war, has pub
lished an interesting study on the sta
tisticS of the French killed and wound
ed in the war, limiting himself to the
army. The total losses of the French
army in the war numbered 1926, 0OO
OF these, 674,7OO were killed in ac-
ton, 225,300 were reported missing
presumably killed" 100000 died from
wounds, and 10000 from disease
Among NJ. Troubert's conclusions are !:
The enemy accounted for six to seven
times more men than did sickness, this
being unique in war. One man was
killed to every four wounded. In the
early days of the war rs per cent of
the casualties were caused by bullets,
but this proportion rapidly fell to 16
per cent, shells and grenades account
ing for 20 per cent. In 1913 bullet
casualties rose to 20 per cent. OF men
treated in hospital, 70 per cent recov-
cred and were sent back to the front.

Cause of Append,citIs.

When the bowels are constipated,
the lower bowels or large intestines
become packed with refuse matter,
that is made up largely of germs.
These germs enter the vermifOrm APP
pendix and set upintiammation, which
is commonly known as appendicitis.
Take Chamberlain Tablets when
needed and keep your bowels regular
and you have little to fear from appen-
dicitis.

ON THE SIDE LINES

Hen Williams gan field as well as
hit. He made two catches yesterday.
one off Picinich and the other off
Harris, that were ticketed trouble
when they sailed toward left. On
Picinich Ken appeared to have COW
cred almost fifty yards before he got
the ball on a dead run at his shoe
tops, close to the foul line.
Stan. Harris is wonderfully accu-
rate on relays from the outfield. When
Sisler was caught at the plate in the
third, Harris threw the ball on fly
directly into Picinich's hands, so that
all Val had to do was fall on the
Brownie before he got his dogs on the
plate. Harris has made similar re-
lays several times this season. Peck
also made a. splendid>relay to Bush
in the first, when Tobin was nailed at
third.
Bush was outguesSed when he tried
to steal in the third. Harris threw
his bat at the pitch-out, but DOME
was captured standing up.
Gerber robbed Rice of a hit in the
eighth. when he dashed over back of
second, grabbed Sans bounder with
one hand and whipped the ball to
first in time to get the speedy runner.
The way Gerber has been batting,
with his great fielding, this spring
makes him real topliner.

the Bradley stable still boasts two
good candidates. and according to
Trainer Fl. J. Thompson. Norwich
will not take first place from Bet
Mosie and BY Gosh. Hope has not
been given up for Busy American, as
Trainer Thompson said he was bank
ing ION the miracle"
Norwich will take a light workout
this morni1g-JuSt gallon around
to timber up-and then retire to his
closely guarded quarters. Tomorrow
he will get stiff workout at per-
haps a half mile. and then Saturday
he will get the derby distance. and
perhaps the wreath of roses and all
it means. At least. that is what his
proud owner. Benjamin Block. who
has been on hand since the arrival
.of the unbeaten colt. believes there
can be no doubt about. A steady
stream of visitors paid homage to
Norwich today. while several hun
