How Urea Got Ita Name.

Mongols travel, not along the station
road, but directly from one herd Of
horses to another, where fresh horses
are caught and saddled, and new own
ers substituted for those OF the last
herd. This Is called the right Of urga
Any traveller having the right OF urga
can catch horses himself.
1t Is from this custom, according to
one explanation, that the town Of
Urga, in Mongolia, abode Of the Living
Buddha, took Its name among out
slders. BY the MOngols themselves II
$ 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 II
Urga was because Il was the principal
destination Of all the trading expedi-
lions which crossed the plains by this
old method or right Of travel.

JUSTICE" AMONG THE ARABS
Complicated Proceedings INVOLVING
Punishment Of Man Accused Of
Numbering His Aunt.

over the open grave near the tomb
or Sheik Mansur, the patron saint of
the village, the relatives of Miriam
had sworn revenge in the words Of the
ancient formula: "You must sleep.
but we must take revenge on the enc
my. Your bed Is silken; sleep and
fear not" But what should they do?
According to lmmemorIal Arab law II
was their right and duty to attack the
murderer and his clan, rob them at
will and kill one able-bodIed man
from among their number. But this
they did not dare to attempt; for Fat
meh and her son had much larger
following than they. They accused
Khadir of throwing the fatal stone,
but he denied his guilt and, instead
Of fleeing for refuge to neutral sheik
he prepared, with the support of his
relatives, TO resist their attack. What
could they do?
AS they discussed their wrongs.
their rage mounted. There was but
one way to get revenge-to abandon
their Arab customs and appeal to the
hated Turkish authorities at Jerusa.

rian's son, got detail OF soldiers to
descend on the village and carry
Khadlr away to prison. The trial was
long drawn out and expensive to both
sides through the payment OF much
bakshish. In the end Ahmad's brides
won the day and Khadir went to prls-
on for seven years.
BY common consent the matter rest
ed until Khadir should be free. When
war came, he was almost forgotten,
until the English arrived and released

must be reconciled according to Arab
custom. The two persons most intl-
mately concerned Khadir and Ahmad,
must meet and agree upon a mutually
acceptable sum to be paid by Khadir
as ransom.-From Asia Magazine.

GARDEN OF EDEN IN CHINA?
Logical Reason for Its Location
There Has Been Advanced by
Government Surgeon.

If the theory Of evolution Is not
fact, Adam, according to Dr. Charles
Stiles, government surgeon, noted 20
ologlst, scientist and discoverer of
hookworm germs, must have survived
for $50 years all the germs which af
fllct men today; the Garden of Eden
must have been In China, and Noah
must have taken the germs In and
out of his ark as easily as he did the
larger forms of life. If 1t is to be
conceded that those germs were orig
inally created in some form other than
as disease germs, the theory of evolu-
ton stands admitted.
"Since disease germs are depend
ent for their existence on animals
and plants in which they cause dis
ease, 1t is clear that these germs could
not have been created or existed prior
to the creation Of their victims" Doc
tor Stiles declares. "a challenge OF
this deduction would be an admission
that the germs were not created as
they are today, but that they later
evolved into disease germs; but this
would be an admission Of evolution I"
Admitting that Adam survived
these, Doctor Stiles says, 1t must be
deduced that the Garden Of Eden was
in China, because that Is the only
place where man is known to survive
many diseases with which the human
body is afflicted.

Spider Bites.

In the warm parts Of Spain and Italy
there is brown spider the size Of
chestnut, called the tarantula. A some
what similar spider in Mexico got the
same name from the early Spanish ex-
plorers. There is an old story OF the
danger of Its bite and that tarantulas
coming North on a bunch Of bananas
have killed people In the United States.
One story that 1t produced epilepsy
and a kind Of dancing madness GER
tainly prevailed In the Middle ages.
This, II was claimed, could be cured by
special music. Many experiments have
been made as to the effect OF these
spider bites. One distinguished ento-
mologlst actually allowed various spe-
cies Of spiders to bite his hand. Some
Of these drew blood, giving sensation
like that Of sharp needle prick The
wounds smarted and swelled somewhat
and Itched when rubbed, producing
very much the sensation Of mosquito
bites, but no permanent lll-effects fol-
lowed.

Its chief feature being a long, sharp,
twisted horn, set in the middle Of Its
forehead. Great strength was attrlb-
uted to the unicorn In medieval times,
and early commentators tell how 1t
had been known to worst the elephant
in combat. Though as rule savage
and Quarrelsome, even with females,
the unicorn at mating-time was said
to become very gentle to his mate,
which is supposed to have given rise
to the medieval idea that the unicorn
was subdued to gentleness at the sight
of a virgin, and would come and lay
his head In her lap, which was the
only means by which he could be
caught, because of his swlftness and
ferOcity. The picture Of unicorn on
drinking cup symbolized an ancient
belief of the efficacy Of the uniforms

Another medieval legend about the
unicorn is that when 1t stopped to

MANY LEGENDS OF HlAWATHA
Said to Have Made His Home IN
Macklnac lsland--Why He Can.
not Return to Earth.

Some legends credit HlawathA with
having made his home at Macklnac
island, and from that point as CEN
ter, to have made new earth around
him. According to the story the fight
with his father began on the upper
Mississippi, and the powders found
along Its banks were their missiles.
Tho south shore of Lake Superior was
the scene Of his conflict with the SER
penis. He hunted the great beaver
around Lake Superior, and brought
down his dam at Sault ste. Marie A
depression In rock on the southern
edge of Mlchiplcotea bay is where he
allghted after jump across the lake.
In larger depression, near Thunder
bay, Lake Superior, he sat when
smoking his last pipe. The big rocks
on the east side Of Grand Traverse
bay, near Antrim, are the bones of
stone monster that he slew.
Some legends say that Hiawatha
is buried under a mountain three
miles long, on the east side Of Thun-
der bay, which, from the water, re-
sembles a man lying on his back.
Others say that Hiawatha now lives
at the top of the earth, amid the Ice,
and directs the sun. He has to live
in a cold country because, If he were
to return, he would set the earth on
fire with his footsteps.

AYERS "MISC0USlN" is RIGHT
Student Of Aboriginal Language says
Our Ancestors Erred In Naming
Great Western State.

Following the discussion as to
whether the state Of Wisconsin was
named after the Polish explorer,
Tadeusz Wlscont, as authorities In
Madison have been told, or whether
the name was derived from the Indian
appellation to the Wisconsin river,
William II. Wheeler, student Of Indian
lore and aboriginal nomenclature. says
the real name Of the state should be
Wisconsin. Mr.. Wheeler believes the
word Wisconsin is a corruption of an
Indian term meaning red stone, which
is characteristic Of the banks of the
Wisconsin river In the Dells region.
Mr. Wheeler lived for years among
the Indians Of the Lake Superior re-
glOn, where his father, Rev. I. II.
Wheeler, was a missionary. "All over
this land" asserts Mr.. Wheeler, "the
memory of aboriginal inhabitants was
sought to be perpetuated by our ances-
tors by undertaking to apply Indian
names to lakes, rivers and streams,
but with lamentable inaccuracy, so
that 1t Is extremely difficult In most
cases to one posted in the language, to
identify the name."

ling with unholy glee, he told Addison
of the excitement in the village.
The young man laughed heartily,
but suddenly becoming serious said,
by Georgel this won't do. must
go and explain to Charlotte. Those
gossips viii have been at her before
this and the poor girl will be in
dickens Of state. She promised to
trust me, 1t is true, but had better
go right off and explain things.
"The circumstantial evidence is
sure against us, squire"
And he hurried away to the Craw-
ford home.
Georglana and the Widow Leeds
had been before him. And had been
shown the door by Charlotte. But not
before they had unburdened their
minds
"Oh, Addison" said Charlotte,
"what does all this meanr He saw
that she had been crying
Charlotte, dear" he replied, did
you not say you would trust meP"
Eyes, and now that you are here,
! do. But for while they had so
many things which pointed to-oh,
Addison, for while. Is 1t too soon
to ask you to tell me all, dear2"
And he told her. When the coun-
terfeiting gang had been captured,
their plates had not. They were sup
posed to be hidden somewhere near
Masonville. Addison, government
detective, had been sent down to keep
watch Of the locality while "Shifty"
Lannigan, one Of the captured coun-
terfelters, was worked upon to betray
the hiding place Of the plates. BY
means known to the secret service,
that had been finally accomplished,
and II was by coincidence that the
might upon which Pannlgan had agreed
to lead the detective to the hiding
place had conceded with the night Of
the rum-running episode. Addlson's
apparently discriminating bundle con
'tained the plates.
Charlotte and Addison were mar.
ried and went to live In New York,
where he now runs a private detective
agency The newspapers had de-
tailed account of the whole affair. but
Georglana and the Widow Leeds
shook their heads and said, "You
can't believe thing you see In the
newspapers nowadays"

Ghosts Their Chief Fear.

Indian mail runners fear nothing but
ghosts In the jungle, but not a year
passes that does not take Its heavy
toll Of runners In the execution Of
their duty. 1t might be tiger, a
swollen river, an avalanche In the
Hlmalayas or gang Of robbers. The
work goes on just the same; the mail
goes through, whatever happens. SO
said Godfrey Rothe Clarke, director
general Of posts and telegraphs In In
dia, speaking before the Indian section
Of the British Royal Society Of Arts.
With the runners, Mr.. Clarke stated,
the mail was fetish they would pro
tect at all costs. For wild beasts,
floods and dangers of all kinds they
would not turn aside. But they would
go miles out Of their way, even when
carrying the precious malls, to avoid
an evil spirit whom they suspected Of
lodging In tree. OF ghosts they are
far more afraid than OF the fercest
wild beasts.

Deadly Tropical Spiders.

Several species of poisonous spiders
in tropical countries are so large and
formidable that the natives give them
wide berth. Probably the most
feared Of these Is the great crab spl-
der, which Is as large as human
hand and does not spin a web Of any
kind. The strength Of Its legs and
talons Is phenomenal, enabling It to
cling to smooth or rough surfaces with
equal tenacIty. The bite Is very pain
full, and, although not necessarily IA
