posed, a letter mailed in the Twin

would be delivered early next

Crude Hooks in Use
bv Early Fishermen

In France several caves have been
found in which men are believed to
have lived about 100000 years ago, In
these were found what are probably
the oldest ilshhooks so far known to
have been used by man.
These irst-known hooks consist OF
a stone ground down into the shape of
a small banana with a ridge cut in the
middle, the string. or whatever was
used for line, having been tied
around the stone In this ridge. Cave
men of ages ago took this banana
shaped stone and covered II with
meat. Then they kindly allowed q
fish to swallow the whole thing.
Then the fisherman would give a
pull on the string, or whatever II was.
The "hook" would stralghten out hort
zontally and therefore refuse to come
out of the water without the Ash, so,
when the fisherman hauled In, the
fish with the hook caught In his gull
let, would keep the crude fshhook
company.
Around the lakes Of Switzerland
scientists have found various kinds of
hooks considerably later than those
crude relics from France. Many Of
the Swiss hooks are of bronze, some
having barbs, but the really ancient
ones were barbless and consisted Of
two hooks at right angles to each
other.

Cut Flowers Arranged
to Express Sentiment

There Is romance In the arrange
ment Of cut flowers. At least that is
what japanese girls and women, who
spend many hours In the arrangement
Of few flowers, believe. 1t Is lucky
to have an odd number Of flowers,
they think. Three Is a favorte num-
Der, although one, Ave and even seven
are used.
A three-hOwer arrangement repre-
sents heaven, earth and man. The
water In the vase or bowl represents
the surface Of the earth and each
flower is arranged at different dis
lance from 1t. The flower represent
ing earth naturally has the shortest
stem, that standing for man having
longer one and heaven the longest
stem. Each Of the flowers is always
tipped In a different direction.
In the spring the japanese women
bend the flower stems slightly to rep
resent flowers In the wind. When a
member Of the household goes away,
a willow branch Is bent and arranged
In vase to represent sorrow for his
departure. When flowers are to be
given away It is customary to give
them In bud. Red flowers are used
only for funerals.

Washing in Various Ages

After the decline and fall of the
Roman empire washing and soup went
to large degree out Of fashion. But
1t gradually came back into use dur.
Ing the latter part Of the Middle ages
although the banks of streams took the
place OF the luxurious marble baths of
the Roman era. Here people washed
themselves, when they did wash, and
here also all clothing was washed.
In fact, washing clothes ut the side
of stream Is stlll the popular laun-
dry method Of a considerable pnrt OF
Europe, South America, Africa and
Asia. Kipllng tells Of the "dhobi" or
washerman who spends his life In
breaking stones with clothes. This
Hindu Is doing nothing out OF the way.
He Is simply practlclng the gentle nrt
Of laundry work just as all the world
did II until the advent Of the washing
machine.

In an essay Thomas Robert Nautilus
(l786-1884), a distinguished political
economist Of his day pointed out that
the natural tendency of population Is
to Increase more rapidly than the
means Of subsistence, and that hence
the time will come when population
will outgrow the means Of food supply.
lie cOunseled that governments should
pass laws to restrict marriages, and
thus limit the Increase Of population.
These Views were not original with
Nautilus, but were enuncialed not only
by Plato and Aristotle, but also by
Franklin, Hume and others In modern
times. II was the merit Of Nautilus
to have presented the doctrine In sys

rived from history. Kansas City Star.

Old Belief Is Error

The Department Of Agriculture says
that In some regions certain organisms
belonging to the genus Cordlus, and
somewhat closely resembling horse
hairs, are not uncommon. They get
into the water by leaving insects and
other small organisms In which they
have previously lived They go into
the water for the purpose of mating
and depOslting their eggs. These lat
ter are microscopic ana give rise to
microscopic young ones In enormous
numbers some Of which later find
their way into suitable hosts and grow
to the size of the sO-called hair snakes.
