Whisky Not Necessity Of Life.

Whisky is not necessity of life,
even for a Scotchman in the tropics,
according to a decision reached in the
courts of Nairobi, Kanya Colony,
East Africa, after lengthy legal argu-
ments, reports the London Express
correspondent.
The question arose over a case in
which a grocery store sued minor
for goods supplied. The law says
that the only debts which can be re
covered from minors are those in
Cured in supplying the necessities of
life. The debt in question included
an item of three bottles of whisky. 1t
was argued for the prosecution that
as the minor was Scotchllan living
In the tropics whisky was a necessity,
but his arguments were overridden,
and an order made for the debt, minus
the value of the three bottles.

TELL OF PREHISTORIC TIMES
University of Chicago Professor Reads
History in Specimens Thousands
of Centuries Old.

Enormous ferns, gigantic rushes and
! club MOSES and strengthening trees
many of them more than 100 feet in
height and with needles of two or
three yards length, and a host of in
sects, among which huge dragon flies
and cockroaches apparently FREEDOM
mated, once inhabited a swamp at
Braidwood, ILL.,, according to Adolf
G. Noe, professor of peleobotany at
the University of Chicago.
Professor Noe reconstructed this
picture of the vegetation and animal
life Of prehistoric times from fossil
lied remains found in Skinner mine
No. ,, in the Braidwood district, fifty
seven miles southeast Of Chicago.
''The BraidwOod mine," Professor
Noe stated, sis now the best place
to ind fossils in northern Illinois and
has somewhat replaced the famous
Macon creek deposits In popularity
with collectors.
1.-THE coal is found at a depth OF
forty-nine feet and directly above 1t
is a gTayish shale which the miners
call soapstone, and which contains
round calcareOus stones. If you crack
these stones with a hammer they split
into half like a sandwich, and ON the
inside of each half you see the i'm
preston Of fern leaves and other
plants Of the coal era. Also insects,
fishes, crawfsh and other small in
habitants of land, water and air are
found, but the plants are most pre-
dominant.
"a considerable number of plant spe-
cies can be listed from Braidwood
and we are able to reconstruct in our
imaginatiOns a lively picture of the
vegetation of these long, bygone days.
There was once in Braidwood q
swamp which stretched far east, west
and south, and which was inhabited
by enormous ferns, gigantic rushes and
club MOSES, and strengthening trees
which had needles of two or three
yards length Many of the trees of
that time must have been more than
100 feet in height, as we can Judge
from the size of the trunk and leaves.
The animal population Of these
swamps contained small reptiles, am
phibia, fishes and a host of insects,
among which enormous dragon-flies
and gigantic cocllroaches seem to
have been predominant. There were
no butterflies, no warm-bl0oded ami
mails, no birdlike reptiles, no flowers.
Probably the only colors which living
nature provided were green, brown.
yellow and black. The sounds were
the croaking of froglike amphibia and
the noise produced by cockroaches and
dragon-flies; no singing of birds, no
chirping of crickets.
"a strange world! OF the enormous
vegetable masses which fell into those
swamps the coal beds were formed, |
and 10G000,0GO years passed away be- |
fore man came and ultimately utilized !
again the sunlight and heat which had |
been stored up in these millions of |
tons OF coal"

NOT REAL RULERS
European Monarchs in the Main
Mere Puppets.
Writer Points Out That Courtiers and
Ministers Actually Exercised
Power Accredited to Kings.

Writing in the Prayer Tagblatt. a
staff correspondent points out that
times are past when the glory of a
congress consisted in the number Of
kings taking part in it.
1.-The year 1918 is sometimes looked
upon as the boundary line between
two periods, but long before this date
the idea had developed which no long
er allowed one man to decide, the fate
Of a nation merely because of his
birth or divine right" he writes.
"a proof of this is that the car
rule, and the special way in which
Wilhelm II liked to incorporate the
German kaiser idea, were regarded
for years as something exceptional.
But did even this system really repre-
sent a form of rule in which the will
of the crowned head alone governed?
at is true that nowhere else would
it have been possible for a great chan
cellor, like Bismarck, to have been
dismissed because his dictatorial man
ner did not please a young prince, nor
for the most efficient of his successors
to have suffered the same fate be-
cause he failed to regard the tactless
indiscretions of the ruler as the out
come of imperial wisdom.
but perhaps this personal rule was
less the rule of one person than was
generally believed. Was it not rather
good opportunity for a crowd of ir-
responsible courtiers to satisfy their
lust for power in the shadow of the
all-powerful majesty; in peace the
junkers, and in war, the army COM
manders?
and when we are told that for
three years during the war, the Aus
TRAN senate was not summoned, so as
not to excite the old emperor, Franz
Joseph, with home politics, it is prob
able that the real reason was rather
the minister's desire for peace and
quietness, who, by pointing out the
necessity for the monarchS well being
provided for himself uncontrolled and
undisturbed rule.
Nowadays in countries where the
institution of ruler still exists the of

Shyness OF Sandy.

In a rural district of Forfarshire q
young plowman went counting one eve
ming. In vain he racked his brain for
some interesting topic; he could call
UP no subject at all suitable for the
occasion; not one sentence could he
utter, and for two long hours he sat
on in silent despair.
The girl herself was silent; she no
doubt remembered the teaching of the
old Scotch song: Men maun be the
first to speak," and she sat patiently
regarding him with demure surprise.
At last he exclaimed suddenly ::
