VIRTUES ASCRlBED TO HAZEL
eUperstltlons Concerning lts TwIps
Have Been Firmly Held for
Many Centuries.

The old Druid priests who were the
spiritual guides Of our race for many
centuries gave a superstitious value
to certain trees. We are still influenced,
by them when we wreathe holly and
hang mistletoe at Christmas. Prac-
tically all trees have superstitlons as
ISOLATED with them. The bay tree, for
instance, must have put fear into the
hearts Of our forbears, for they he
lieved that Its whitening was sure

was regarded as an infallible charm
against lightning. In remote rural dis
tricts the practice is still followed.
The planting of young hazel tree so
close that Its branches touched the
house wall, was regarded as har-
binger Of children to chlldless couple.
Sheep, too, were believed to be more
prolific, and the mortality among
lambs much less, II hazel hedge sur

hurdles were Of hazel. Many water
OWNERS use hazel twig, and decoc-
ton made from stewlng the bark Of the
hazel was regarded as u sure cure for
whooping cough. Cupid used the
hazel, too. A thin branch, twisted In

Rloht Of Urea In MONGOLIA.

MOngols travel, not along the sta
ton road, but directly from one herd
Of horses to another, where fresh
horses are caught and saddled, and
new owners substituted for those Of
the last herd. This is called the right
Of urga. Any traveller having the
right OF urga can catch horses him
self, says the Detroit News.
1t was from this custom, according
to one explanation, that the town Of
Urga, in Mongolia, abode Of the living
Buddha. took Its name among outsid-
ers. BY the Mongols themselves IT Is
always referred to as Tia Kure, "The
Great Monastery" The reason the
Burlats and Russians, who were the
first to trade into this region, called
It Urga was because II was the princi-
pal destination Of all the trading ex-
petitions which crossed the plains by
this old method or right Of travel.

M.klnn Elow.r, sm.Il stronger.

The perfume Of flowers is greatly in
creased by process invented by Pro-
lessor Daniel Of Rennes, France. He
explained 1t to the Academy Of Science
In Paris. BY taking two plants of the
same species and grating one on the
other-notably wormwood on
chrysanthemum-h found not only
the grated NORWOOD developed re-
markably, but Its flowers gave forth a
perfume much more powerful than
that Of the original plant. Moreover,
the chrysanthemum had given to the
NORWOOD flower something Of Its own
perfume. NJ. Daniel collected the
seeds of the grated NORWOOD and
the following year obtained from them
very fine plants. They had this notable
feature-whie the flowers Of some OF
the plants emitted a perfume similar
to those OF the original graft, others
were absolutely without odor.

MANY MINDS ON TYPEWRITER
Idea Engaged Attention Of Thinkers
and Inventors as Far Back as
the Year 1866.

With the typewriter, as with most
other inventions, there Is dispute as
to who was really first, writes James
II. Collins In "The Business Woman"
The Idea of a machine that would
write had been In the air 100 years or
more when Christopher Latham Sholes
began turning 1t over In his inventive
mind some time In 1895. Others had
built machines that would write. .
Patents were taken out for writing
machines In England as early as TIA,
and in America in 1929; but none Of
these machines was ever brought to
the point where they were manufac-
tured and sold to the public.
Sholes was the first man to bring a
writing machine to the point where
manufacturer could take 1t up, and
1878 Is regarded as the birth year Of
the typewriter, because some time In
April Of that year a contract was made
with ID. Remington & Sons, at Ilion,
N. Y, to take over his patents. Both
the contract and the exact date have
been lost; but they marked the begin
ming Of an industry which has meant
80 much to women economically, and
In other ways.

chouans Band Of Peasants.

Chouans was the name given to
bands Of Brittany peasants who es-
poused the royal cause during the
French revolution and organized
reactionary movement In 1902. Their
first leader, Jean Cottereau, was
killed In 1904. Later the insurrection,
under Coudal and Charette, assumed
vast proportions, and for a time I'm
periled the safety Of the French re-
public. II was, however, stamped out
by La Hoche and Its leaders forced
to lay down their arms. Another at
tempt at instruction was made in
1890, but this also was mercilessly
crushed. Chouanerle again made Its
appearance In 1814-1615, and was
finally wiped out in 1880. through the
efforts of Theirs.
The word "chouans" is said to be
corruption Of chat-haunt (screech owl)
and to have been given, either be-
cause Of the nocturnal habits Of the
band or because Of some special call
OF recognition in use among them.
Others trace the origin Of the word
to Cottereau. the first leader.-Adven-

heard he was married.

His voice sent her heart beat hurry

her gloves. The waitress, coming to
look for her tip, observed with gratif-
cation that the tip was large-and the
crumpets untouched.
There wasn't any use of pretending
any longer. Alice realized how weak
she had been to come with him. She
loved him still, she always would, and
now she would have to begin all over
again-to put him out of her thoughts.

thing she could never forget.

''But are you sure" Alice persisted
shat you want me?"
"And why, II didn't, did I stop off
at Hllly Center on my way to Mexico?"
But, after all, 1t wasn't his words
that sllenced her, but the kiss he gave
her behind the dreary waiting room,
when she forgot everything but that
she loved him, too.

Iowa Man Is His Own Grandfather at
%; Family tree q Jungle


Fertile, Iowa, Jan. 1.-THE birth
of a son this week to Peter Linsky
and wife gains for local man the
distinction of being his own grand
father at the age of twenty-five.
About eighteen months ago Ensky
married young widow WHO has a
gfown up ep-daughter. His father,
who at that time was a widower,
shortly after married his sons wife's
step p-daughter and thus the younger
Linsky's wife became the mother-in-
law of her, father-in-la law, which some
what complicated the family tree by
making the younger Linsky's step
daughter his step mother, and his
father his stepson.
Then, few months ago, the young
er Linskey's stepmother, that is the
stepdaughter of his wife, presented
her husband, young Linskey's father,
with son. This boy of, course, was
the younger Linsky's borther, be-
cause he was the elder. Linsky's SON;
but he was also the son of the young
er Linsky's wife's stepdaughter and
therefore grandson. thus making the
Younger Lindsky the grandfather of
his own stepson.
And now he has a son of his own,
n lusty ten-pound boy according to
the attending physician.
The happy event, however, unfortu-
nately makes of the Linsky family
child's fathers mother-in-law, the
stepsister of his son, is now the
chiid's grandmother, because he is
her stepson's son, while the senior
Linsky becomes the brother-in-law of
his own son, who is also a. child of
the younger Linsky's step grandmoth-
er. This makes Peter Linsky, the
childs father. his mothers brother
in-law. while his wife. the mother Of
the child, is her own child's aunt:
and the elder Linsky. father cf Peter
E, is his childs sons uncle, and the
child is his grandfather nephew
