This Probably Was New
York's First Roadhouse

II must have been New YOrk's first
rOadhouse. Mention Of it was made
In an advertisement that appeared In
the New York Packet on May q, 1885,
which informed the public that Tai
mage Hall had fitted up the elegant
house on Haerlem Heights" owned by
Isaac Ledyard ''for the accommodation
Of ladies and gentlemen from town, as
well as gentlemen Travellers" and had
gathered together "ready and obedient
servants and the best fare that the
country and town affords" The ad-
vertisement went on In this fashion !:

CIGAR AT LAST
It Knocks Out All Previous
Ideas You Ever Had

Men, forget the many times you've
lit a five-center, taken q few pufRs
and thrown it away. Try one more
brand: Havana Ribbon. You sure
will hold on to this onel
HdUand Ribbon is a five-cent cigar
in one respect only: Price. By every
other standard of comparison, it be-
longs to a considerably higher-priced
class. NAnd the reason is-Ifs ripe
tobacco! Many five-cent cigars con-
tain the poorer leaves Of the tobacco
plant-under-ripe top leaves (usu-
ally bitter); or over-ripe bottom
leaves usually flat-tasting). Ha-
cana Ribbon contains only choice
fUllv-ripe middle leaves. Imagine
getting, for five cents, all the fra
grant, mellow mild, fine favored
goodness of tobacco at its bestl
You can prove it in two minutes.
Just plank down one jitney at the
next cigar counter and ask for
Havana Ribbon. Also sold in Pruc-
tiodl Pocket Packages Of five cigars.

Spiders Unable to FIy

No species Of spider has wings and
therefore no member Of this insect
like family Of creatures can fly in
the generally accepted sence Of that
term as applied to animals, birds and
Insects, says Pathfinder Magazine.
Sometimes, however, spiders which
travel through the air by elinging to
pieces Of floating web are called n.y.
Ing spiders Under favorable condl-
lions a young spider climbs upon an
elevated object and emlts a web
which is caught up and carried away
by the wind, bearing the spider along

Mrs. Nitwit giggled once too often
during dinner, and the head Of the

for his wife's mirth.

him. I'VE had a rummage sale at our

with pair Of wet stockings over one
arm. She said she had rinsed them
out, hung them over a radiator and
then decided she ought to put them
some place else since she was going
out. So she took them down, draped
them on one arm and forgot they were
there until she got to the club."-New

of the MOhicans" were a group Of
tribes Of Algonquin Indians which for
merly lived in Connecticut and New

identity by mingling with the Della

its somewhat dilapidated appearance
has no doubt given rise to the belief
that 1t dates back to the days Of

til the old tower was demolished and
a new tower built in 1861. In 1861
the lighting apparatus was DESTROYED

No Such Continent

The name Continent of Lemuria" Is
given by Haeckel to a vast area as
sumed to exist in past ages over the
area Of the present Africa, Indian
ocean, and Malayan archipelago, on
the hypothesis that the existence Of
such continent was necessary to ex-
plain the peculiar present distribu-
ton Of the lemurs and other phenom-
ena Of geographical distribution. The
discovery Of the remains Of lemurs
in America and Europe rendered such
hypothesis futile and the idea was
soon abandoned.
