Old Roman Theater

About twenty miles from Don
zere, or twelve miles from Avignon,
is Orange, where the famous Dutch
family, the house of Orange, rulers
of both Holland and England, had
its origin. Here are Roman re
mains, including a famous arch
of triumph, under which many a Ro-
man victor has passed with his
legions, and a theater which will
seat in the open 10000 spectators.
The acoustics are about perfect,
and if you are on the topmost row
you can hear the voices on the
stage distinctly. Every summer, at
the end of July or early in August,
the famous Comedie Franchise pre-
sents a series Of Greek tragedies
there.

Beauties Paint Their Hands

The Arabian bellies of Morocco
decorate their hasds instead of
their faces, as their occidental sis
ters do. Their faces are largely
hidden, so there is no use of ex-
pending any energy in that part of
their anatomy. The decorations
on the hands follow certain schemes
of decoration, applied by the use of
some vegetable dyes which are
fairly permanent. These designs
may be applied by the women them
selves, but as a rule the work is
done by street artists who occupy
positions on the highways. Certain
designs are reserved for women of
high social standing.

Romance of the Cocktail

There's said to be quite a little
romance behind the world "cock-
tail" A certain squire had a fa-
nous fighting cock with a won
derfuI tail. He also had a beau
tiful daughter. One day the bird
was missing, and, in quite the
storybook manner. the distracted
squire offered the hand of his
daughter as the reward for its re-
covery.
A gallant soldier returned the
bird, without a single feather of its
tail damaged. and claimed the re-
ward. The betrothaI was announced
at a celebration, during which the
excited young lady managed to mix
up all the drinks. Not to be
done. the guests drank the medley
and found it good, promptly chris
tening it a Cocktail

Variation in Coral Reefs

OF the three types of coral reefs,
fringing reefs, which are connected
with the shores upon which they
are built, vary from one-fourth to
One-half mile in width and an in
determinate length. Barrier reefs
may be of extreme length and of
varying distances from the coast.
For example, the Great Rarrier reef
of northeastern Australia is over
900 nautical miles in length, and
the lagoon which separates it from
the coast varies in width from 20
to 20 miles. The third type of
coral reefs, atolls, or coral islands,
may be anywhere from less than a
mile to 40 miles in diameter.

Mirror Superstition

Many people still believe that If
they break a mirror they will have
bad luck for seven years. But why
should this be the case with mir
ror? asks a writer in the Los An
gels Times. The superstition prob
ably dates to the time when the
only looking glass was a stream or
some stretch of calm, clear water.
When people looked into the water
and saw their reflection thev
thought 1t was their spirit that
had been transferred. Hence an
enemy, by throwing a stone and
disturbing the image, believed he
would cause harm and bring bad
luck to the person looking into the
water.

Keeping Air Fresh

There are simple precautions that
can be take nto keep the air in the
home fresh. Sweeping with a
damp instead of a dry broom and
maintaining adequate humidity in
every room will keep dust from
floating around. Fine meshed cot
ton ventilators are available which
are used like window screens. They
admit the air while keeping out fly
ing particles of SCOT and dirt.

Cows Travel by Subway

Cows in a California dairy get to
and from their work by subway. A
traffic-crowded highway lay be-
tween the dairy buildings and the
pastures, constantly endangering
the cattle when they crossed it. In
order to safeguard the animals a
cement-lined tunnel was built un-
der the road for the exclusive use
IF the cows, says Popular Science

Splitting Snakes

The splitting snake, which is
found in South Africa from Sene-
gambia to the Transvaal, received
its name from the fact that it some
times elects a venomous spray from
its mouth when annoyed or irri-
tated. 1t Is related to the cobra.

Game Laws in State
Have Many Changes
Enact Twenty Measures Into
Laws for Regulation of
Taking Game
SEASON DATES CHANGE
Create State Department of
Conservation i'm Interest
Natural Resources

Twenty measures, relating to
game and fish regulations, were en-
acted by the 1881 legislature, incfud-
ing postponing of the opening date
for duck hunting in conformity with
the Federal law. Season opens Octo-
Der l instead of September Is.
Rough fish may be speared only
from December to February 1 and
through the ice only. Under the old
law spearing was permitted the year
around. The use of artificial light
may be authorized by Commissioner
of Game and Fish in rough spearing
in such areas as he may deem proper.
Northern Pike (pickereD may be
speared through the ice from Deem
Der l to February 1. Previously they
were open for spearing throughout
the regular fishing season.
Open season on Coons has been
changed from November 1 to Deem
Der 1. It is lawful to keep one coon
in captivity with written permission
from the Commissioner for the pur-
pose of training dogs. 1t is unlaw-
full to cut coon trees or destroy their
dens.
Relating to selling of: No Mink or
Fox may be sold for the purposes of
breeding or propagation that have
not been pen bred for two consecutive
generations. They may be trapped
as before at any time.
Another law enables counties to
pay bounty for the destruction Of
grey foxes from year to year.
One law provides that no fish or
fish eggs shall be placed in any wat
ers unless such waters are accessible
to the public for fishing purposes.
Authorization was given the Com
missioner to open or close season on
partridge, ruffled grouse, Chinese,
Ringneck and English pheasants be-
tween October Is and December 1 in
any year or in any county. The open
season is limited to 81 days however.
Under the new law the opening of
the season on migratory birds will
be at noon of the first day. The one
day limit is IL birds on the following:
wild ducks, rails including coots, gal
linules, jack snipe or Wilson snipe,
and greater and lesser yellowlegs;
four wild geese, with an aggregate of
Is birds in one day, including geese.

ROAD BUILDING EIGHTEEN
YEARS AGO AND NOW

In looking over an eighteen year
old copy Of the Gazette this week we
noticed on the front page a long art
icle on how to build and use split
log drag which in 1913 was beginning
to come in use for maintenance of
roads.
It was a good machine and served
it purpose admirably but we could not
help but reflect upon the tremendous
progress we have made in highways
since that time.
Graders have replaced drags and
tractors have largely replaced horses
for power and in this state by the
end of this year we will have some
1850 miles of paved trunk highways.
But it was the King split-log drag
which made it possible to first main
tain highways inexpensively and it
gave the people the habit of demand
ing good roads. In Minnesota we
owe a lot to the inventor of this de-
vice.-Red Lake Falls Gazette.
