REFUSED TO BOW TO KING
English Pin Manufacturers, Centuries
Ago, Shut Down Before They
Would Obey Royal Mandate.

What would happen in the United
States. where two thousand tons of
pins are turned out every year, If all
the pin factories closed down, as once
they did in England? In the thirty
fourth year of Henry VIII complaints
were made of the inferior quality of
the pins supplied to the public, and
in consequence parliament enacted
that none should be sold "unless they
be double-headed. and have the heades
soudered taste to the shanke of the
pynne etc" The result was that the
public could obtain no pins until the
act was repealed three years later.
The act of repeal having recited the
former act, pathetically admits that
the attempt TO control the pin indus
try had proved a failure. For as
much since the making of said act
there hath been scarcitee of pynnes
within this realme and the kynge'.
lfege people have not been wei nol
completely served of such pynners nor
ar likely to be served In con
sderaton whereof it male please the
kinge that it may be adiudged and
DENIED from hensforth frustrated and
initiated and to be repealed forever"

The choicest of edible French snails
Is the Escargot-deBourgo or the
BOurguignon Ruge, bred in the vine
yards of Burgundy for the French
market and fed only on the tender
leaves of the grapevine. This escargot,
baked with that delicious stutfing with
which the French are wont to crown
him, is, it is said, delicious when one
has got over the gulp that arises at
the idea of eating a snail. Or eaten
from a silver bowl with silver three
pronged fork as means of conveying
the long gelatinous thing to the mOuth)
and brought to the table very hot and
swimming in a sauce in which lard
and onions and garlic seem to be the
principal components, the Escargot-de-
Bourgogne is a dainty to remember.
In many districts in England are
still descendants of the snails the RO-
mans ate.

Omens Seen in Lightning.

In a book published in England in
1902 it said that 1.-The Thracians when
1t thunders take their bows and arrows
and shoot up to the clouds against the
thunder imagining by their shooting
to drive the thunders away. Cabrias,
the general of Athens, being ready to
strike battle at sea, it suddenly light
ened, which so frightened the soldiers
that they were unwilling to fight, until
Cabrias said Now is the time to
fight, when Jupiter himself, with his
lightning, doth show that he is ready
to go before US SO Epaminondas, at
his going to battle, it suddenly light
ened that it so amazed his soldiers,
when Epaminondas comforted them
and said: Iumen hoe numinax osten-
dunt'-By these lightnings the gods
show US that we shall have Victories '"

MAY SHED LIGHT ON HISTORY
Signs In Northwestern Idaho, APP
parentIy Centuries Old, Are to
Be Subjects of Investigation.

Symbols and signs. believed to
have been chiseled anywhere from
400 to 10000 years ago. have been
discovered on lava rocks in a remote
section of Owyhee county, southwest
ern Idaho. The inscriptions bear
striking resemblance to Chinese al
phabet characters. The inscribed
rocks are in the vicinity of several
caves which scientists have arranged
to explore. Two distinct types Of
carvings, Geographic and Photograph
ic, have been noted. ArcheolOgists be-
lleye the topographic antedates by
many years the Photographic. Both eX-
amples have been found on q single
rock. Nearby is another rock with
possible third system supposed to an
tedate both the others, but which has
wcathcred beyond possibility of de-
ciphering. Indians say the more
modern carvings are the work Of
their forefathers, but assert the
others are the work of evil spirits.
Resemblance of the inscriptions to
Chinese characters is taken by some
to substantiate the theory that the
early American Indians descended
from ship-wrecked Chinese or came
from a race which migrated from
Asia by way of Boring strait.

Various Burial Customs.

The practice of carrying a corpse
out feet first may be derived from the
idea that if he were living, he would
leave the house feet first. A coffin of
a layman if taken into a church is
placed in the middle of the nave, the
feet to the East or sanctuary, but If
the body be that of a cleric, the head
Is put to the sanctuary.
1t is the practice in Great Britain to
place the bodies Of soldiers in their
collins with their feet going in the d.
rectlon that the caisson Is to travel.
In countries where shoes are worn,
the deceased is shOd, for he has long
journey to take. This, therefore,
points to a reason for carrying out the
dead feet first-they are travelling on
their last journey.-Literary Digest.

TOBACCO UNDER ODD NAMES
When Herb Was New 1t Had Various
Applications, as Also Did the
Potato.

Among its thousands of Illustrations
on wood in a work on the General
History Of Plants, Gathered by John
Gerarde, Master in Chirurgerie," and
first printed in London toward the end
of the Sixteenth century, was one Of
the then still new herbs, "tabaco, or
henbane of Peru" according to the
text. "The people of America call 1t
Petun; some, as Loebel and Pena, have
given it these Latin names: Sacra
Herba, Sancta Herba. Soma Sancta In
fcru,n; and others, us Dododaeus, call
II HyoSCyamuS PCruvianuS, or Henbane
of Peru; NicolauS Monardus names it
Tabacum. OF some it is called NicO-
tiana."
There was an illustration of another
plant, also then still new-the potato,
'by some called Skyrrets of Peru, gen
orally by us called POtatus. Clusius
called it Battata, CamoteS, Amotes
and IgnameS in English potatoes, po-
tatus and potades. The Indians do
call this plant pappus." The potatus,
the book informed the reader, was to
be eaten toasted in the cmbers and
sopped in wine" 1t was also made

Truth of Tone,

rally attaches great Importance to
sharpness of definition and freedom
from distortion, and very little weight

correctness Of outline are only part,
although an important part, in delin-
cation. 1t is Just as necessary to get
the relative lights and shades of the

 Hazing al West Point has had its ups and downs, Congressional inves- tlgations have been carried on and the boys have been talked to. "Haz- ing Is boylsh prank and has no place at Military Academy where the boys are learning to command men," the colonel said, adding "it Is a cowardly thing to do and there Is no hazing at the academy now"
 He then mentioned the commander Of company and his relation to the men He said that n principle can take men to battle, but when they get there they are fighting for their commander. The commander expects q great deal from the men, but he should really love those under his command. He must have a kindred interest in every one and must talk Tn fatherly way to some of them, giving them advice That is the req son why the commander comes to be called The Old Man" The command CT is backed by the laws of the coun- try, so why should he abuse his priv ileges by being surly. That is what the boys are being taught
 The idea at West Point is duty. honor and country The boys do not cheat, steal or lie at West Point The feeling In the corps is that the man who does such a thing is not fit to wear the army gray. If he is caught, ana most men of such sort are usually caught, he is put out of the corps. Two songs have to do with moldlng the character of the boys. They are two school songs-'Alma. Mater and The Corps" The colonel repeated the words of the songs, say Ing that one of the first things a new man does is learn the songs. This he does Tn a very short time. In sing ing the songs the young men receive a real spiritual meal.
 The speaker concluded with saving that he would like to see some of the poys at the academy.
 From 7:45 o'clock until nine o'clock the colonel was bombarded with oues- tions concerning the academy en- trance requirements and other data.
