SUBSCRIPTION $5 PER YEAR in the American navy, and one of the great naval heroes of all time, hast at last, after a century .and move, found a fitting burial place in the adopted country for which he fought and whose history he helped to make glorious. John Paul Jones is one of the men with whose deeds every Ameri- can should be familiar. It was in his great fight with the “Serapis’’ that he won his most lasting fame and utteged the great words that have become as’ historic as Nelson’s at Trafalgar, His ship was badly battered and commander hailed him with the query: “Has your ship struck?"” “I have not yet begun to fight,”’ was the answer, and the gallant sailor made good his retort by taking the It .glish prisoners. When it comes to foxy graft- ing on the newspapers for free advertising, Sarah Bernhardt is entitled to wear the belt. The “Divine Sarah” is bucking the theatrical trust and keeps a small corps ef press-agents busy get- ting her-in and out of trouble, Her latest sensation is at Duluth, where she is mixed up in an in- ;| junction suit over the theater building where she is scheduled to play. To the tall timber, John Lund! There is nothing quite so enter- prising as an enterprising news- paper. The three morning papers of San Francisco, al- though their offices and plants were destroyed, appeared the next morning as usual, only with the following queer heading: “The Call-Chronicle-Examiner.”, The triple paper was printed in Oakland.

Lady Jane Grey. Lady Jane Grey was the most learn- od child of which history has any rec- ord. Before she was nine years old shé ‘wrote a' beautiful hand and was able to play on many different instru- ments. She could speak several lan- guages, both anclent and modern, be- #ldes being well grounded In philoso- phy. When other children were play- ing she would amuse herself by read- ing writings of the philosopher Plato in the original Greek, Perhaps It was be- cause she had led a very lonely life When she was a child, as her mother 'and father were often away ‘&t court. leaving her to the care of her-govern- ess and her ‘schoolmasters at ” the floomy family place called Bradgate, The ‘big- 8quare house was built on the edge of a great forest surrounded by crea of uninhabited land. There were very few books and not any uewspa- pers at the castle, and Lady Jane Grey bhad no rlaymates, as her governess would not aliow her to play with the servants” children, and there were no others suitable for her companious within miles. The Origin of Windssil, The origin of the expression “wind- fall,” which is used when one wishes to refer to a streak of good luck, dates back to the time of Willlam the Con- queror. At that time it was a criminal offense to cut timber in the British for- ests without royal consent. All that could be gathered for fuel or other purposes was such limbs as the wind should happen to break and cast to the ground. On this account the peasants halled 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 applicatien 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- ly apparent that no attempt was ever made to enforce It. fLuck Money, “Handsel” I8 the first money recelved for the day (“luck money”), that which 18 given buck “for luck” by the seller to th: buyer. Spitting upon It is the essence of the whole transuction, and 1t is practiced today, not only all over Englaad, but all over the world. We know from many eclassical authors what virtue was believed by ancient Greeks and Romans. (see Potter, “Ar- chaeoj, Graec.” ., 417) to lle In the act, snd there s also abundant evi- dence of the belief all through the mid- dle sges, and now In the twentieth century It remalns as strong as ever. Otto Jahn says: “I have often seen the fishwives of Ellerbeck, when they had got handgeld from my mother, how they spat upon It. They say that it brings them besonderes gluck. They will not tell the reason. Certaluly It Is doue to'keep off witcheraft.”” The same thing Is done by modern Egyptians and by TtaMans. At Posilinpo I gave a penny to a deaf mute. He first spat oun it, then put It to his forehead, and lastly devoutly crossed himself with It, precisely (except the crossing) as is 4one by modern Egyptians. Even in faroff Celebes the natives spit In the same way as a protective rite.—Notes ang Querles. 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 the record of 1552, -which mentions that Edward VI. had ‘“one larum or watch of iron, tlie case being likewise of fron gilt, withtwo plum- mets of lead.” The first watches may readlly be supposed to have been: of rude execution. The first great im. provement, the substitution of.springs for weights, was in 1550. The earlie springs were not colled, but: onl straight pleces of steel. Early watches, had only one hand, and, being 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 back and front and were four or| five inches In diameter. A plain watch cost the equivalent of $1,600 in our cur~| rency, and after -one was ordered it 'took a year to'make it. i The Wiles of Beasta of Prey. The panther on the plalns of Pata- gonia gets as near a herd of guanacos s It can, then ltes down behind a bush on its back. It puts one paw up in the air, then another, then the third and fourth and after a bit all four at ence. That seems curlous to the guanacos, and they come close to investigate. Up: Jumps. the panther and- lights on - the nearest one’s back and breaks Its neck. A fox up in Nova Scotia-comes down to the bay of Fundy and:goes jumping along the beach a couple of rods and back:again, rising -on its hind legs at SAFE AND RELIABLE. That the roots of many native thu. growing wild in our American forests, possess remarkable properties for the cure of human maladies is well proven. Even the untutored Indian had learned the curative value of some of these and uufm the early settlers their uses. The Indian never liked work o Lie wanted his squaw to get well as soon as possible that she'might do the work and .let him hunt. Therefore, he dug “papoose root ” for her, for that was their great remedy for fe- male weaknesses. _Dr. Pierce uses the same root—called Blue Cohosh—in his “Favorite Prescription,” skillfully com- bined with other agents that make it more effective than any other medicine in curing all the various weaknesses and painful derangements peculiar to women, Many afflicted women have been saved from the operating ‘table and the sur- eon’s knife by the timely use of Doctor ierce’s Fayorite Prescription. Tender- ness over the lower pelvic region, with backache, spells of dizziness, faintness, bearing down pains or distress should not go unheeded. A course of “Fayorite Pre- seription” will work - marvelous benefit in all such cases, and generally effect a permanent cure if persisted in for a rea- sonaple length of time. The “Favorite Prescription” is a harmless agent, bein; wholly prepared from native medicinal roots, without a drop of alcohol in its make up, whereas all other medicines, put up for sale- through druggists for woman’s peculiar ailments, contain large quantities of spirituous liquors, which are very harmful, especially to delicate women. “Favorite Prescription” con- tains neither alcohol nor harmful habit- forming drugs. All its ingredients are printed on each bottle wrapper. It is a Eower!ul invigorating tonic, imparting ealth and strength in particular to the organs distinctly feminine. For weak and sickly women, who are ®*worn-out,” or debilitated, especially for women who work {n store, office, or school-room, who sit at the typewriter or sewing machine, or bear heavy household burdens, and for nursing mothers, Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Preseription will proves priceless benefit because of its health - restoring and strength-giving power. For constipation, the true, scientific cure is Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets. Mild, harmless, yet sure, His Kxpectatiom. “T suppose,” sald his friend, “that when the Investigation takes place you will be represented by counsel.” “Yes,” said the statesman, “and 1 suppose I'll be misrepresented by the opposing counsel.” We have for sale Kimball {51‘;’;‘;; Singer Sewing Machines Furniture and House Furn- ishings Needles and repairs for all kinds of machines BISIAR & VANDERLIP 315 Fourth Street Telephone 319 CHICHESTER'S ENGLISH PENNYROYAL PiLL Original and Ouly Guauine.
