Oraiova, in Roumania, was the Cas- tra Nova of the Romans during their occupation of Dacia, and in the middle ages the place played an impertant role. It was here thatthe Wallachian prince Mircea the Old defeated 'the Turkish sultan Bayezid I. in'1897, "Two Sundreéd years later the most famous of Wallachia’s chieftains, Michael the Brave, held sway here as “ban,” .or governor, afterward becoming prince mot only of Wallachia, but of Moldavia and Transylvadia as well, thus for a brief period uniting under one ruler the whole Roumanian people. The leu, which is the standard of walue in Roumania, was first coined in Craiova. It derives its name from the figure of a lion stamped on the early coins. Its value is equal to that of'the French franc (19 cents and a -fraction). Crajova was .or centuries the capi- tal of Little Wallachia, that division of the country lying between the Alt (Aluta) river and the Hungarian and 8erbian boundaries to the west.—Bul- Jetin of the National Geographic So- clety. Soap an Antiseptic. Some medical authorities, explaining the abatement of epidemic diseases in modern years, are sufficiently free from professional ties to attribute this bettérment of conditions not to med- acfenee, hnt to the increased use cater. The Homeopathic the opinion that with a J Louse and a clean person no one need have much fear of infection. A writer in the New York Medical Rec- ord says: “Seap is now recognized to be antiseptic and to be efficacious must produce a lather. Bacteria rubbed into soap or'dropped on its surface are in- capable of multiplication. The typhoid bacillus 1s very sensitive to soap, being killed by a 6 per cent solution in a short time. More than half the total number will die in one minute. The thorough use of a pure potash soap Is Dot only a mechanical method of cleans- ing, but is an active factor in cutting down germ life.” The Arabic Language. Though the Arabs number less than the population of London, their lan- guage is one of the most widely spoken and influential in the world, for it is the language of the Koran. Seventy millions of people in Asia and north Africa speak some form of Arabic as their vernacular, and quite as many more know something of the language from the Koran, which, in the original, is a textbook in the day schools of the Mohammedans from Turkey to Afghan- istan and New Guinea. Nor is Arabic unworthy of this extensive use. Renan, after expressing his surprise that such a language should spring from the des- ert regions of Arabia and reach perfec- tion in nomadic camps, declares that it surpasses all its sister Semitic lan- guages in richness of vocabulary, deli- cacy of expression and the logic of its grammatical construction.—London Chronicle. Sacred Scarabs. The sacred scarab. or beetle, of Egypt was the “tumble insect.” which forms bits of manure into a ball for laying its eggs in. Two individuals. male or female, always roll the ball together, and they do this merely for the purpose of conveying ft to a safe place atid hiding it. This insect was regarded as a symbol of the Creator among the Hindus, from whom the idea passed into Egypt. The ball was imagined to represent the world be- cause it was round and was supposed to be rolled all day from sunrise to sunset. e ia The Other Fellow. “Mother doesn’t think she’ll go to the theater with us tonight. Albert.” “Is that so? I have three tickets. ‘What shall I do with the third one?* “Give it-to the man you always go out to see between the acts.

These persons were J Doe and Richard Roe, and no two persons were more fre- quently referred to in legal documents. In every process of ejectment, instead of the real parties to the suit ‘being named, John Doe, plaintiff, sued Ri¢h- ard Roe, defendant. Their names were also inserted in' ¢riminal proceedings. This ‘fiction was introduced into’ Eng- lish legal practice in the time of Ed- ward IIL, in consequence, it was said, of'a prdvlslon in Magna Charta which required the production of witnesses before every criminal trial, and hence- forth John Doe and Richard Roe were inserted as the names of the alleged witness, a custom which was carried across the Atlantic to this country.— Indianapolis News. A Well Hated Landlord. The most hated landlord in Ireland for the last 100 years, a miser known as “the parsimonious peer,” was Hu- bert George ‘de Burgh Canning, mar- quis of Clanricarde. He was unmar- ried, and with his death the marquis- ate became extinct. His Irish estate extended from Athenry, in Galway, to Woodford, twenty miles southeast, and it was said that anywhere along this route could be ohtaimd a story of trag- edy in the land war. Time and again the aid of the forces of the crown in evicting tenants had been refused. He was never seen in a vehicle. He took dafly ‘wall's to Regent’s park. There, on a public seat, not one of the chairs, for which he' would have been charged a small fee, would sit this ownmer of 60,000 acres watching the squirrels. He was a noted collector of china and pic- tures, of which he was a wise buyer.— Chicago Journal. According to Degree. Horse breeding is an occupation which requires much learning, and a certain English farmer has a great rep- utation for his skill A neighbor of his who sought some advice on the cheap, asked the horse breeder’s son one day: “I say, Tommy, when one of your fa- ther’s horses is ill what does he do?” “Do you mean just slightly ill or real bad?’ was the lad’s cautious counter- question. “Oh, seriously ilL.” “Well,” said the boy, “if a horse is only just a little ill, dad gives it some medicine, but if it is seriously ill hé sells it.” Sacrificed Their Hats. Many years ago the master butchers of Washington market, in New York city, used to kick their hats about the market at the close of business on Sat- urday night. Under the custom in the market it was considered a slighting of the profession for any butcher not to appear behind his counter with a high hat, and it was thought bad taste if the meat seller at the end of a prosperous week failed to destroy the hat. The apprentice butchers couldn’t afford silk headgear and so used to gather up the broken hats and repair them for their own use. All Pervasive. The teacher’s last question was meant to be a scientific poser. “What is that which pervades all space,” she said, “which no wall or door or other substance can shut out?” No one had an answer ready but Freddy Sharpe. “The smell of onions, miss,” he said promptly. —New York Times. . A Ready Sealer. For traveling carry a candle with you, and when about to make a jump, as the theatrical people say, seal your Vottles with it. It takes only a minute to light the candle, turn it upside down and let the tallow drip around the cork of a bottle, but it insures perfect carriage of the fluid content. Told Him Truly. “Johnnie, how do you spell nickel?” the proud father asked. * “N--k-le,” responded Johnnie. “That is not the way the dictionary spells it,” said the father. “You didn’t ask me that. You asked me how 1'spelled it.”—Exchange. Heartless. “Why didn’t Rastus marry dat Coo- pah gal?” “Oh, she dun flunk at de last minute —wouldn’t lend him a dollah foh ¢’ git de license wif.”—Boston Transcript.
