Yankee Doodle Found on page 382 "Heart Songs" “Yankee Doodle” is the earliest American song -dedicated to national use. The tune originated in France or Holland, and was first sung in Eng- land to an old nursery rhyme. The cavaliers later sang it in ridicule of Cromwell, who en- tered Oxford riding a small horse, and wearing a single plume—fastened to a knot called, de- risively, a “macaroni.” In the summer of 1775 the English army lay encamped near Albany, awaiting the arrival of the native militia before marching on Ticonderoga.

Storm Stories. History repeats itself even in storms at sea. The Norwegian steamer Spica was broken from her moorings at Blyth and pitched like & cork over half a mile of dangerous rocks until she bumped against the pler. But this is nothing to the adventure of the Eben- ezer, a craft of ninety-five tons, which was once driven by a gale toward Chesil beach, near Portland. An enor- mous wave seized hold of the ship and carried it to the very top of the bank, where it was left high and dry. The sallors stepped over the side and walk- ed into Portland, “where they were greeted by some as liars, by others as men who had come cut of the jaws of death,” as the record puts it. But the Ebenezer was found exactly as they bad said it would be, and two days lat- er she was launched and brought round to Weymouth bay.—Westminster Ga- zette. Church Theaters. ' Few people know that plays in Eng- land, Germany, Italy and France were fostered for religious purposes by the church centuries before they were tak- en up as a separate secular business. Moreover, few visitors to St. Paul's cathedral, in London, realize that that church during Elizabeth’s reign and the first years of the reign of James I. set aside one of its adjacent buildings for use as a secular theater. Its little stage was'famous, and the:company of choir boys as actors presented many of the great plays of Shakespeare’s time, They acted from about 1598 to 1608 ‘under the management of Ed- ward Plerce, their great master in mu- sic, who as church almoner had busi- ness control of these adjacent buildings owned by the church.—London Stand- ard. i Canvasbacks on the Wing. If you have any doubt as to the swiftness of the canvasback on the wing when business calls, just fire at the leader in a string some time when you bave the chance., Duck shot when propelled by the proper quantity.of powder travels pretty quickly fitself, but if your-charge brings down sny member of that string of ducks at all it will be the fifth or sixth bird back of the leader, and I'll bet a farm on it If you would have a chance of drop- ping the leader you will have to aim not less than ten feet ahead of him. Then he will more than likely run plump against your shot. When he drops it will be a quarter of a mile or so farther on, for he can’t stop short of that distance even after he is dead.— New York Sun. The Curious Opossum. The American opossum is one of the most curious animals living in the United States. It is the only one that carries its young in a pouch, like the kangaroo. It is the only animal that can feign death perfectly. It is re- markable for hanging by its tail, like a monkey. It has hands resembling those of a human being. Its snout is like a hog’s, while its mouth is liber- ally furnished with teeth, Its eyes are like & rat’s, and it hisses like a snake. Brimstone. Sulphur is one of the oldest known elements. The ancient Assyrian al- chemists regarded it as the principle of combustion on account of its own inflammability and termed it “brim- stone,” meaning literally burning stone, a name now applied popularly to roll sulphur.—Argonaut.

The Judge Hit Back. A late police magistrate was a most painstaking judge in all his cases, and in important ones it was his custom to defer summing up until the next sit- ting of the court. On one occasion he gave an exhaustive decision on a case, after which the lawyer for the plain- tiff rose and questioned it. “Pardon me,” said his worship. “I cannot allow you to reopen the case after I have given my final decision. ll may be wrong, but that is my opin- on.” The lawyer quickly replied: “Then, your worship, I know it is no use knocking my head against a brick wall. I suppose I must sit down.” The magistrate adjusted his eye- glasses and, looking sarcastically at the lawyer, said: “Sir, I know it is no use you knock- ing your head against a brick wall, but I may add that I know of no one who could perform such an operation with less injury to himself than you.”—Case and Comment. cells make is like an invIsMblé coat that keeps the normal heat of the body from leaving it and that at the same time keeps the atmosphere which is colder than the body temperature from entering 1t.

Barrie as a Baseball Fan. ‘When Sir James Matthew Barrie was dissatisfied with his suit in a hotel and changed to rooms in otlier part of the hotel doing this was that from ot the quarters first assigned to him could not get a good view of trical score board on the Times ing. The world’s series was being played, and the author of “Peter Pan” spent many hours breathlessly watch- Too Highly Complimented. “Doctor, do you have a fixed charge for your operations or do you charge what you think your patients can af- ford to pay?” “Well, I wouldn’t say that that is al- ways my custom, although sometimes I do make liberal discounts to the poor.” “I thought so, Doc, and I just called to let you know that your bill flatters me more than 1 deserve.” — Detroit Free Press. ball “fan” is one of many interesting intimate views of the great Scotch writer obtained by one of the very few Americans who have penetrated be- yond the barriers of Barrie’s shyness— Isaac F. Marcosson, the biographer of Charles Frohman. No one in this coun- try, with the possible exception of Frohman, knew why the distinguished visitor changed his rooms or that he was interested In baseball.—Joyce Kil- mer in New York Times. Old Lord Mayors’ Banquets. There used to be a good deal of sav- agery about London’s lord mayors' banquets, even in times comparatively recent. The humbler guests at least struggled with each other for food and had to bring their own table cutlery if they wished to eat decently and in comfort. For instance, Samuel Pepys tells us how, at the banquet served up two years after the restoration, there were many tables, “but none in the ball but the mayors and the lords of the privy council that had napkins or knives, which was very strange.” 8till more strange to such a lover of female beauty as Pepys was the plain- ness of feature of the city dames. Of the ladies’ room he says: “I could not discern one handsome face. ® * ¢ Being wearled with looking upon a company of ugly women, I went away and took coach and through Cheapside and there saw the pageants, which were very silly.” A Question of Sex.

Why Wool Is Warm., The main difference between wool and linen is that wool is animal and linen is vegetable and that the fiber of wool is irregular. When the irregular fiber of the wool is woven it contains certain little cells which hold a neutral layer of air. The linen has no such cells. This layer of air which the SOME MIGHTY GOOD VALUES ALADDIN ALUMINUM WARE Old Time Theater Rowdies.
