WEEKLY ESSAY CONTEST
WON BY ALICE BEHNER

How Our Country Came To Be-
Governor Dinwiddie of Virginia had
sent young George Washington as a
messenger of the English to the
French, who had begun to build fort
on territory claimed by England. The
French would not discontinue their
building and the French and Indian
war started. This was in 1854 and
nine years later treaty of peace was
signed.
After the war, England was in pos
session Of all the land east of the
Mississippi, and Canada. Spain con-
trolled the land west of the Mississippi.
The power of France on the North
American continent was broken.
In the meantime, India had come
into possession of England. In order
to govern this vast empire, England
passed very severe measures. The
colonists in America resented these
acts and later revolted against them.
Among them were the Navigation
Acts, passed in 1860, but not enforced
until after the French and Indian
war. After she did enforce, or try to
enforce them, the colonists did much
smuggling. AS England did not like
to have the smuggled goods sent
abroad, she passed the hated Writs
of Assistance. These writs allowed
any English officer to search any
house for smuggled goods. Much

TELLTALE LINES ON HANDS
according to Authority on Nervous
Diseases, Idiots Have Marks Quite
Definitely Designed.

We have often condemned as swim
dlers the Gypsy fortune tellers who
read our destinies in our hands. But,
according to the latest researches of
Professor Poll, which he cOmmunicat.
ed to the Berlin Society for Psychol-
ogy and Nervous Diseases, there are
to be found on the fingers Of idiots
quite definite designs made up of fine
lines. These designs, according to
Polls examination of 1900 mentally
diseased and 5000 mentally healthy
persons, seem to result from the COM
bination of definite dactylograms of
the ancestors Of normal persons.
That means, from the union of two
persons whose finger lines show the
characteristic signs, that there may,
under certain conditions, come Off
spring idiocy. 1t will therefore be
we'll for the maiden to look, not as
formerly at the face Of her chosen
idol, but rather at his fingers; and
he who wants to bestOw his "hand"
upon a maiden will above all want to
search for the suspicious lines on her
hand. 1t will also be possible to tell
parents from the characteristic dactyl-
ograms whether they will have off
spring with the finger lines denoting
idiocy-if this should not be perceived
otherwise.-New York Tribune.

You never can tell what will pop out
Of it or what may be justified by it.
I find the dictionary giving a word
dozen meanings, in the course Of which

ORIGIN OF MILITARY SALUTE
In Roman Times the Ceremony Had a
Very Real Reason for Exlsting-
Fear Of Assassination

In Roman times, when aSsassina.
tions were Of frequent occurrence the
custom was established that interiors.
when coming into the presence of
their superiors, must raise the right
hand, holding it turned outward to
show that the hand was empty and
contained no weapon. From this has
come the custom Of saluting.
Until recent years sentinel, when
accosted, removed his hat as we'll as
saluting with his gun. This was done
in the British army at the time of the
American Revolution. The headdress
Of those days was far different from
the plain army hat Of the present day,
and it was a difficult matter for
soldier, while saluting with his gun,
to remove his hat as well. This was
therefore changed to the custom OF
raising the hand to the brim of the
hat in saluting.
Similarly interesting Is the reason
for asking witnesses to remove their
gloves before being sworn. In the old
days when a person broke the laws of
the times and became a criminal, 1t
was the custom, upon conviction. to
brand him on the palm of his right
hand. In being sworn as a witness
the raising of the uncovered right
hand with palm outward would dis
close to those present whether the
person about to give testimony had
criminal record or not. A criminal is
not q credible witness.
Cheap Light.
A light which will answer many
purposes can be made at q cost Of q
few cents.
Obtain from the druggist piece Of
phosphorus about the size Of pea.
Put this In a small bottle and add
enough olive oil (Which has previously
been heated, but not boiled, for a
quarter of an hour) to fill third Of
the bottles capacity. Now AK very
tight-fitting cork.
This novel lamp is perfectly safe,
and the light it gives enables one to
see the time or do many little things
during the night. One will also give
comfort to the kiddies.
Should the light become dim, just
uncork the bottle for a few moments,
when the glow will be renewed.
