During the eighteenth century no Jess than four empresses held sway over Russia, and if perhaps the throne was unjustly usurped in more than one In- stance it can at least be said of ull of them that they reigned move wlisely than the emperors-of that perfod and that they have left names more famous than those of thelr male predecessors and successors. With all ter many taults Catherine the Great proved & wise and powerful monarch, and much that disfigured her history may be for- gotten, seeing that she almost totally abolished ‘the custom of subjecting al Russian prisoners to a system of ghast- ly torture besides repealing many oth: er cruel and barbareus laws. Curlous Facts About the Eye,. A very curlous fact is the impossibil- ity of moving your eye while examin- Ing the reflection of that organ In a mirror. It is really the most movable part of the face. Yet If you hold your head fixed and try to move your eye {whlle watching it you cannot do it— even the one-thousandth of an fnch. Ot course if you look at the retlection ot the nose or any other part of your face your eye must move to see it. But the strange thing s that the moment you endeavor to perceive the motlion the eye is fixed.. This Is one of the reasons why a person's expression as seen by bimself In a glass Is quite different Ihom what 1t is when seen by others i J. P.

Have You Given Yet? The raising of a fund for the relief of the San Francisco dis- tressed should appeal w every big hearted Bemidji. g We who are enjoying good man and woman in | homes, a comfortable living, and above all, a state free from visita- | tion by earthquake should not hesitate at this hour to aid our less fortunate brethern of Cali- fornia. It little becomes any commun- ity to withhold a helping hand when help is needed. It was not so many years ago that certain portions of the pine country of Northern Minnesota were swept by a great forest fire and hundreds of homeless settlers thrown on the charity of the land. We can never tell where the next great tragedy will be enacted. . Disaster may never strike at our firesides, and yet, if it should, we can be assured that relief, abundant and freely given, would pourin upon us. Mayor Carter in his appeal published yesterday in the Pio- neer, voices the correct senti- ment. It is that every one should give according to his means. “No donations can be too large,” he says, “and none; however small, but will be welcomed. ™ The'man who can afford to give only a dollar, or even less, but gives it, is as much ofa philan- thropist as the man who donates a much larger sum;-‘and can afford it. ST TR Have you made a contribution . yet? . 1f you send your gift to Mayor Carter, the eashier of the Lum- bermens State bank, the cashier of the First National bank, or to the Pioneer, you will receive proper credit and the money. will be forwarded for the relief work. Some of the principal lobbyists against the pure food bill now be- fore dongress are_the mail order houses, The reason is easily understood. If food is under national instead of state regula- tion, the Chicago firms that are shipping adulterated food into this and other states can be reached and dealt withaccording tolaw. As it is now, the laws of Minnesota cannot reach them, as the goods, though shipped here, are -actually purchased in Chicago. Rev. Mr, Mooney of Duluth has analized the knocker to a “T;’ he says heis the person who is sidetracked. ‘‘The fellow on the sidetrack is the croaker and the knocker in his commun- ity;” declares the preacher.” “The man on the main line of well-thought-out effort is too busy attending to his own busi- ness to spare time for anybody else’s affairs.” Isn’t that about right?

Ib those cities‘millions of rabbit skins are dress- ed and treated, and; bogus furs are sent out to robe men and women of all parts of the world, Tle skins are pur- chased soon after they have becn strip- ped from bunny’s back.and are st end hard when they arve unpacked in the serting room.

Lady Jane Grey was the most learn- ed child of which history has any vec- ord. Before she was nlne vears old she wrote o beautiful hand and was able to play on many different instru- ments, She could speak several lan- guages, both anclent and modern, be- sides being well grounded In philoss- phy. ‘When other childrén were play- ing she would amuse herself by resd- ing writings of the philosopher Plato in the original Greek. Perhaps it wis be cause she had led a very lonely life when she was a child, as her motlier and father were often away ‘at court. leaving her to the care of her govern ess and her schoolmasters at the gloomy family place called Bradgate. The big square house was built on the edge of a great forest surrounded by acres of uninhabited land. There were very few books and not any newspa- pers at the castle, and Lady Jane Grey bad no ylaymates. as her governess would not allow her to play with the servants’ children, and there ‘ivere no others 'suitable for her companious within miles. The Origin of Windfall The origin of the expression *“wind- fall,” which is useéd when one wishes to refer to a streak of good luck, dates back to ‘the time of Wiliam the Con- | queror. At that time it was a criminal offenge to cut timber in the British for- ests without royal-consent. All that could be gathered for fuel or other purposes wus such limbs as the wind should bappen to break and cast to the ground. Ou this account the. peasants hailed a great windstorm as a bless- Ing, because it was apt to cast enough of “windfalls” for winter firewood. From this old time forestry -custom comes the modern application of the expression. At one time it was decreed that only such limbs and whole trees as should fall during the three summer months could be used as firewood, but the unjustness of the act was-so plain- 1y apparént that no attempt was ever made to enforce it. Luck Money, “Handsel” is the first mouey recelved for the day (“luck money”), that which 18 given back “for luck” by the seller- to thas buyer. Spitting upon it is the essenve of the whole transaetion, and 1t is practiced today, not only all over England, but all over the world. We know from many classical authors what virtue was believed by ancient Greeks and Romuus (see Potter, “Ar- chaeo), Graec.,” i, 417) to lle in the act, snd there is also abundant evi- dence of the belief all through the mid- dle ‘sges, and now in the twentieth century. It remains as strong as ever. Otto Juhn says: “I have often seen the fishwives of Ellerbeck, when they had got handgeld from my motber, how they spat upon It. They say :that it will not'tell the reason. done to keep off witcheraft.” The sanie’| "thing is done by modern Egyptians and by, Italians. At Posilippo 1 gave a penny to a deaf mute. He first spat on it, then put it to his forehead, and lastly devoutly crossed himself with it, precisely (except the crossing) as le fone by modern Egyptians. Even In faroff Celebes the natives spit.in the same way as a protective rite.—Notes aig Queries. When Watches Were New. At first the watch was about the size of a dessert plate. It had weights and was used as a “pocket clock.”” The earliest known use of the modern name occurs In ihe record of 1552. which mentions that Edward VI. bad ‘“one larum or watch of iron, the case being likewise of Iron gilt, with-two plum- mets of lead.” The first watches may readily De. supposed to have been of rude execution. The first great im- provement, the substitution of springs for weights, was In 1550. The earliest springs were not coiled, but only straight pieces of steel. -Early watches had only one hand, and, béing wound up twice a day, they could not be ex- pected to keep time nearer than fifteen “or twenty minutes in the twelve hours. [ The dials were of silver or brass. The cases had no crystals, but opened at the pack and front and were four or “five inches In diameter. A plain watch “cost the equivalent of $1,600 in our cur- L rency, and after one was ordered It took a year to make it. rerrume = savwers. It is claimed that the perfume of flowers disappears as soon as the starch in the petals is exhausted, and It may, it is said, be restored by plac- Ing the flowers in a solution of sugar, ‘when the formation of starch and the emission of fragrance will be at once resumed.

Be- cause a disordered stomach does not per- mit the food to be properly digested, and its products assimilated by the system. The blood is charged with poisons which come from this disordered digestion, and in turn the nerves are not fed on good, red blood, and we see symptoms of nerv- ousness, sleeplessness and general break- sical exertion thatdoes it; but poor stom- ach work.

Many years of active practice convinced Dr. Pierce of the value of many native roots as medicinal agents and hewent to great expense, both in time and in money, to perfect his own peculiar processes for rendering them both efficient and safe for tonic, alterative and rebuilding agents. . The enormous popularity..of “Golden Medical Discovery” is due both to its scientific compounding and to the actual medicinal value of its ingredients.
