Rudeness Checked by

The most effective weapon to be

rudeness, even in person who can

Swedish Vikings Not
Only Great Fighters

The Swedish Viking was not
merely a feared raider. He was
also a businesslike trader. This
fact has been demonstrated by ar
theological discoveries, and Swed-
ish scientists have concluded that
while the written sagas lay greater
emphasis on the warlike exploits,
the unwritten record dug up from
beneath the ground presents a bet
ter-balanced picture. In other
words, the Viking has been a vic
tim of contemporary yellow journal
ism on the part of the "skalds"
or Ministries. The more sober mod
ern scientists have set out to right
the balance.
Even in the Bronze age, long be-
fore the Viking era, Sweden had an
active foreign trade, the archeo-
logical finds disclose, so that the
traditions of regular Swedish I'M
ports and exports are at least 81
500 years old. Ancient implements,
weapons, coins and pottery found
in Sweden prove that the fnhabf-
tants entertained trade relations
with their neighbors on the Euro
pean continent as early as 5000
years ago.
These relations attained their
hey-dey about 1900 to 1900 B. G.
The art, ornaments, designs, and
habits of the Mediterranean pe0-
pie strongly influenced the Swedes,
though the latter developed them
into an independent and national
Swedish culture.-Exchange.

Great Artists Pipes
Priced as Art Relics

One does not often hear of
smokers pipes being ranked among
relics. The date of the introduc.
ton Of tobacco precludes them
from Boosting of remote antiquity
of origin, though your smoker who
makes the cOloring of a pipe a
solemn ritual may have very pro-
nounced views on it's artistic
claims. Nor is his point of view ig-
nored by the fine arts authorities,
for, adjacent to a rich collection
Of snuff boxes, there may be seen
at the museum of decorative arts,
in the Louvre, a number of WELL
seasoned pipes, most of which must
have belonged to hearty smokers,
Perhaps the most noteworthy are
a couple of briars which belonged
to the painter Corot. It is said
that he smoked these pipes while
painting several of his greatest
works, and If so they have a legiti-
mate claim to distinction. Pipes
attributed to illustrious men are
not uncommonly met with else
where in Paris, usually in cafes
which were frequented by the
great, but they are sometimes of
doubtful authenticity. Verlaine, for
instance, would appear to have left
pipe in almost every cafe he fire.

Prince in India Has
Little Time for Play

The child who happens to be
born a prince in India has very
serious child life ahead of him. He
is not allowed to play with any
other children because of his rank,
and the matter Of his playing is
greatly restricted, as he is not al.
lowed to do anything which might
possibly result in accident to him.
He is constantly watched and al
ways dressed in keeping with his
rank. There are a million things he
must not do and very few things
that, in a way of diversion, are al
lowed. Everything in the way of
a boyish romp is prohibited. When
he sits down to his meals he is
fed by two attendants, who arrange
morsels of food and place them in
his mouth. If he gets sick he is
watched by a dozen women who
have various duties to perform in
the room, but who are constantly
present. If he has a fever, two
young girls are employed constant
~ in brushing his feet with branch
es Of a certain plant, which opera
ton Is said to have curative quail

Various Reasons for
Extending LIES Span

Look here! Whereas, in 1870,
people over sixty composed 80 per
cent of the total population, they
now compose rs per cent. DR.. Ira
S. Vile, an expert in the intensive
study of the figures Of longevity,
says so. People not only live long
er, but they act younger, let us
tell you. They have their teeth
longer. too; consequently, they can
eat the kind of food that keeps
them going. When one is reduced
to spoon vittles, one can scarcely
survive so many years; and, per-
haps, some might testify that 1t
isn't worth 1t.
After flaming youth, there is
something else left to continue on
earth for-the discoveries Of SCI
ence and the ever-cheering promise
that our political party will lick the
other one at the next election. The
hope of victory keeps people alive
and the interesting news in the
newspapers.
When people had nothing to read
but Fox Book of Martyrs and their
almanacs they grew tired; they
drowsed, half-baked before their
enormous fireplaces, went to bed
early and died Of ennui. Without
a best seller to read and no movie
to go to. they quite naturally dried
up and withered away. They con-
tracted a misery in their chests and
didn't know enough to quit eating
vinegar pie.

Historical Law Codes

The earliest code, which is the
name given to a collection of laws.
or constitutional articles, was that
of Hammurabi, about 2100 B. G.
The codes Of Theodosius and JUS
tinian, Roman emperors, were the
basis Of the Code Napoleon of
France. Theodosius appointed
commission of 16 in 435 A. d. to
collect and codify the edicts and
constitutions of the provinces of
the Roman empire. This was pub
lished in 438. 1t was revised in
523 by the Emperor Justinian. The
Code Napoleon, completed In 1904,
consisted Of 2,2S1 articles. There
were partial codes in France pre-
vious to this. The Code. Napoleon
is the basis of the codes of the
Two Sicilies, the Netherlands, the
Swiss cantons, Bolivia and Louisi-
ana. The Code Frederick is the
codification of the Prussian laws,
codified under Frederick the Great,
and was the basis for the law of
the German empire.

Distance of Horizon

The actual distance of the hori-
ION depends upon the height above
sea level of the eyes of the observ-
er. The horizon is always as far
away as one can see. The higher
one goes up from given point the
greater the distance of the horizon.
The observer looking out over the
land or sea from high place can
see more of the earth's round sur
face before the curve of the sur
face takes things beyond the range
Of vision. If one stands on cliff
100 feet high at the seashore and
looks toward point where ship
is coming toward the shore, the
ship can be seen much sooner than
If standing at sea level. In exact
words, one sees actually more of
the earth's surface the higher up
one Is because, with the Increase
of elevation, ones position in re-
lation to the curvature of the
earth's surface changes.

Locust Spends Years
of Life Underground

Do seventeen-year locusts really
appear every seventeen years? And,
If so, why are some to be found
every year?
These are pertinent questions, to
say the least. The seyenteen-year
locust has long been heard Of and
some skeptical people are inclined
to brand accounts Of them as
myths. But they are real insects,
and they do require (the variety
known as cicada septendecim,
which is literally Latin for cicada
seventeenD seventeen, or in some
cases, thirteen years for full de-
velopment.
The seventeen-year locust is not
a grasshopper. More exactly, it is
not a locust but cicada-the name
cicada being pure Latin for the
same insect, which has been known
FOR centuries by that name. A
commoner cicada is found in many
localities every year. But the sew
enteen-year variety, as Webster's
New international summarizes,
spends almost all Of it's seventeen
or thirteen years under ground In
the larval condition. After emerg-
ing it quickly changes to the adult
condition, in which it lives only a
few weeks"
Locust, by the way, is also a
nearly pure Latin name. The word
'1obster" is variation or corrup-
ton of locust, through the Anglo
Saxon.

Indian Tribe Has Firm
Belief in Werleopard

The Maya tribe of India are firm
believers in werleOpards and wer-
tigers. That is wild animals ami
mated by a human spirit. Accord
ing to belief, the man stays In his
own home in state Of lethargy or
sleep while the animal into whom.
his soul has entered for the time
remains in the jungle and hunts
or is hunted. Injuries done to the
leopard or tiger appear on the body
of the man and if the animal Is
killed. the man dies.
He jumps about in excitement
when his alter ego is being pursued
and causes such disturbances in
the home that his relatives COM
monty give him ginger. This in
creases his strength and enables
the hunted animal to outdistance
his pursuers.
When the man becomes his nor
NAL self he remembers his expert
ences, and an investigator vouches
for case where a man described
the whereabouts of the remains of
a kill he had made, as a leopard,
which was duly found there.
Werleopards and wertigers are
not proud of their attributes but
regard themselves, and are regard
ed by others, as victims of q con-
dition which is not their fault.

Pleasure and Profit
in Scorpion Hunting

One of the most peculiar hunting
expeditions on record is that which
takes place at more or less regu-
lar intervals In the town of Mar
dine, in Asia Minor. The town Is
surrounded by ancient walls built
to protect it from invaders, and hid
den in various places in these walls
are hordes of scorpions which
often become a menace to the pop
ulatiOn. In order to keep down
the number Of these pests, said to
be death-dealing, bonus is Of
fered by the municipality and reg
ular hunts are organized. The
hunts take place at night when the
hunters, armed with lanterns, poke
around the walls and dislodge the
scorpions. The next day they carry
them to the town officials and col
lect the money due them as a re-
ward. 1t frequently happens that
they must wait upon the pleasure
of that official, when they while
away the time by making their fe-
rocious captives engage in combat.
Bets are made on the results, and
it often happens that members of
the waiting party have lost their
money before they receive it.

Roman Bridges Excite
Wonder of Engineers

Among the notable bridge-build-

still are in use, to the amazement

broken majesty, the results of
earthquakes or of purposed human
destruction, for the delight and
wonder of all beholders.
The two bridges, which lead from
the Forum side Of Rome to the is
land in the Tiber and on to the

built in the Second century, B. G.
They have been used very much

years old, which has seen steady
and hard use and still appears as
good as ever.

Father Abraham Wise
in Departing From Ur

The diggers, comments the Mon
treal Star, have uncovered the city
of Ur, the place Father Abraham
left because he felt the need of ex-
pansion.
Ur, it appears, had luxurious
civilization and the women wore
hair nets. The hair nets may have
had something to do with Abra-
hams moving to wider fields. To a
man with the pioneer spirit hair
nets for women must have looked
like the last word in superfluous
expenditure, especially If, as was
the custom among the patriarchs,
he had number Of wives all Of
whom would want hair nets.
At all events Abraham decided
to get out of the hair net district
and so he embarked on the great
adventure which persists to this
day. 1t may be news to Abraham
that ten of the tribes-that poster
ity numberless as the sands of the
desert-were lost, even more COM
pletely lost than the city of Ur,
which has just been unearthed aft
er 5000 years in the grave, but
the other ten tribes found them
selves on their feet wherever they
fetched up and are now among the
solidest citizenry of the world.
Abraham will be glad to hear this.
He made no mistake in leaving Ur,
the hair net city. In vain was the
hair net spread in the sight of the
victim. Abraham was too wise to
be taken in that snare. He took
himself and his daughters and his
wives and his maid-servants out
of the reach of temptation. His
sons, having families of their own,
shared Abraham's dislike Of hair
nets and needed no arguments to
emigrate.
In the light of history, we repeat
that Abraham made no mistake in
leaving Ur. And even If he did, to

Telephone Efficiency

When is an inch equivalent to
four miles? The answer is when
you hold your mouth away from a
telephone transmitter. When you
place your lips at an angle to the
m0uth-piece or show your aloofness
toward this mechanical ear in some
other way, you thereby push your
listener miles away from you.
w. A. Jackson, superintendent of
telegraph of the Michigan Central
railroad, figured out this loss of
speaking efficiency and sent a me-
morandum about it to all his en-
plOyees. He advised: "Talk d.

"Arte.ian" Wells

"Artesian" is term applied to.
water which is secured by deep bor-
ings into the earth. An ordinary
well is usually under 100 and at
most $50 feet in depth. If it is re-
quired to go 200 to 500 feet in depth
or more, the water is usually
termed .'artesian." Often in arte-
sian wells the water rises above the
earth's surface of its own force;
in other words, it forms a flowing
well. Any deep well. whether flow
ing of its own accord or not, is now
regarded as an artesian we'll. Many
artesian wells yield sulphur, chaly-
beate or alum water; in others the
water is so impregnated with COM
mon salt as to be unsuitable for
consumption, while in many others
the water is of excellent quality.
