The building Is al ancient, timber

license was granted in 1884 for the
purchase of the site for a municipal
building. and it was afterWard used as
a house Of detention for freemen and
bankrupts. When the chimney col

BLAME ANCESTORS FOR COLDS

10 drafts bother You more than 9th
er peoplef # 50 you probably have
German blood in your veins. This
apinion Is advanced by Herr Prof.
Doktor tn. zell. according to the Vos-
sische Zeitung.
Doctor Eel says that certain species
of animals exhibit evident dislike for
drafts and that such beasts naturally
live In forests and sheltered places,
Conversely, animals whose natural
habitat is an open space are content
when breezes blow. Hence a horse
let's the wind smooth his coat while
monkeys and balloons shun such ex'

The professor In conclusion asks,
s'Is 1t then wonder that the Ger
mans, who in earlier centuries lived In
wooded regions, are still today more
susceptible to drafts than other peo-
ples who come from treeless coun'
tries?"
An evident objection to this opinion
as the explanation of sensitiveness tt
drafts is that the ancestors of all meI
lived In forests, although some race!
migrated earlier than others ant
therefore it may be presumed los
their ancestral susceptibility to drafs

BETROTHED Ar ELEVEN YEARS
Anne of Austria a Mere Child When
Her Marriage TO King Of France
Was Arranged.

Anne Of Austria, whose full name
was Marie Anne Mauricette, was the
daughter of Philip III Of Spain and
Marguerite Of Austria Her marriage
to Louis XIII. king of France, was ar
ranged by the rulers of the two coun-
tries to bind them together. Anne was
but eleven years old when she was
berothed to Louis, which plainly
proves that she did not marry from
choice.
The marriage ceremony took place
in France. Louis was unable to meet
his consort when she arrived In
France, so he sent his favorite,
Luynes, to meet her with a note from
his majesty. At this time the dark
clouds of unhappiness which were to
mar their future married life were
not visible, and Anne sent in answer
TO Louis gallant note a charming
message in her own musical language.
The intrigues Of state were far too
sinister to allow much marital Joy
for the royal couple Personal inter

"Tne Exception Proves the Rule"

With the person who thinks about
the things he says. this much-used eX-
preston must "hit q snag" every time
it is used. For exception cannot prove
a rule. Indeed, every bona fide ex-
ception weakens a rule.
1t is a change in the connotatton
Of saying, "Prove all things" and 80
responsible for its present misuse
For in the early days of the English
language 'prove" meant test" as
when st. PAU said, prove all things"
And so when it was said that the ex-

nothing illogical about it. Exceptions
do put a rule to test Either they
soon vttiate the rule or the rule is
strong enough to bring them within
