HERE’S NEW IDEA OF BIGAMYV Did His Pleacant Home Life Inspire Much.Wed Man to Seek Even 3 ‘More. Happiness? Hercules, the apartment house por- ter, was deep in & newspiper avhen Mrs, Uptown entered the lobby and he searcely looked up when she spoke to bim while whaiting for the elevator to come from the upper floors, says the New York Sun. Finaily'he Jnid down noticed what he had been reading. “Strange case, wasn't it, Hercules— the man who.had two wives for thirty | years?” she' remarked. “It beats mie, it does, ma'am,” ad- " mitted Hevcules;” wifh a faraway look In his eyes. “Just think he got away with it so long, he did. Tl -bet he aever talked -in his sh\eg,,l;e didn’t, ma’am.” Hipel “I suppose his widows feel pretty ond, now they've found it all out” rommented Mrs. Uptown, giving the Hevator button another push. “They shouldn’'t feel bad, they shouldn’t,” opined Hercules, “The irst one should think that she made such a nice home that he wanted to Incrense his happiness by having an- other. ““And the second should think that of all the other women In the world he picked her out to bring more joy into his life, she should. It was a compli- ment to them both, it was.” “Is your married life happy, Her- cules?” asked . Mrs.. Uptown.: “It is thaty”- replied the porter. “Well, shall we expect you to—" “Oh, no, ma'am,” sai@ Hercules, glancing over his shoulder to make sure nobody was, listening, “It’'s a compliment to the ladles—but I'd rather be rude, T would.” h 0DD BELIEF IN JIMSON WEED Cherokee Indians Imagine chlld Par- taking of It Will Have Its Mem- ory. Quickened. The Cherokees have an interesting superstition about the jimson weed, which they believe to be endowed with the occult power of improving the memory and inducing stability of char- acter, according to the House Beauti- ful, . When a child is born, jimson weed is beaten up and a portion put into a bowl of water taken from a fall or cataract where the stream would make a constant nolse. This is giv- en to the child to drink on four successive days, with the intention of making him quick to learn and giving him a retentive memory. The noise of the cataract is believed to be the voice of the Yunevi Guna- hola, 'the river god, teaching lessons which the child may understand, while, the stream itself is revered for its power to seize and hold anything cast upén its surface. 3 The name jimson weed, a contrac- tion of Jamestown weed, was be- stowed upon the plant in Colonial times because certain soldiers, mak- ing its acquaintance for the first time at Jamestown, Va., ate sprouts of it and consequently became delirious. The seed pods have:a narcotic effect and, if eaten In quantities, are very polsonous, causing 4 fatal stupor. Witch Hazel and Witches. The witching power of the witch hazel has received a scientific jolt, but the great mass of Americans, English and other peoples will never hear of it, or listen to it, and even though they should read’ about it, they, will keep on believing just the same in the witchery of witch hazel. Old be- lefs will' stand up under any number of scientific jolts. The hazel was bewitched, hence its name. Witches have always made their wands out of this early-blooming yellow-flowered = shtub, = Whether it has magical gualities because witches use it, or whether witches use it be- cause it has magical qualities, cannot be determined. But if a man needs a divining rod in order to find hidden xvater or buried treasure, he must cut that divining rod :from a witch hazel bush. Men's faith in goblins, hobgob- lins, spaoks; wrdlths, elves, elfins, sprites, fairies, brownies, harples, nymphs and muses is no firmer grounded than it is in witch hazel. * Paint Kitchen Shelves. Never use shelf paper on Kkitchen or any other sort of shelves. Bx- perts on household sclence say it is a filth catcher and one of the best invitations to insects to inhabit your closets. .The best possible ‘way to finish your shelves is to paint them | and then finish with a coat of enamel. This gives them a hard, smooth finish, which you can wipe off with a damp cloth when you choose. If you want & more decorative effect than you think you can produce with. pure @white shelves, seléct some sort of °colored enamel and paint. A bright light blue would be attractive, or you might find a soft green to your liking. Unbreakable Glass. Ordinary glass is very sensitive to temperature changes of a sudden na- ture. A drop of water on a hot lamp chimney 'is very apt to set -up strains | that will result in instant fracture. A glass is now manufactured ‘that is 'absolutely immune from sudden temperature changes, says the Popu- lar Science Monthly. Two semi-metal- lic substances enter into its composi- | tion that have different points of ex- | pansibility. A tube is made from each of the glasses. The tubes are then placed cne within the other and fused together. A very rugged glass results.

The firetruck’s alarming siren, Brought Irvington's drowsy populace to its doors and windows, and the sereaming of its brakes as it slammed up ,against the curb next the hydrant brought the people, now thoroughly aroused, running to the spot, says the indianapolis News. The fire was then looked for and found. The flames were lapping up the grass in the back yard 6f an East Washiggton street house. “The lady of the house was confused and excited. She was run- ning from the’ front porch through the house, out the back door and around to the front again. ‘“Fire” was her cry, mingled with “insur- ance” and the combination of these words deémed all ut once to dawn on er as.a brilliang Inspiration. On her next trip through the house she seized a watér bucket in one hand and evi- dently the telephone in the other and ubove the shouts of the fire fighters outside could bd heard her voice ring- fng true: “John, the ‘insurance, fire insurance, the poliey,” where is 1t?” Y “Sabbath Day's Journey.” A “Sabbath .day’s journey” was the distance that the law of the Jews (evi- dently also of the early Christians) permitted one to walk on Sunday. In Acts 1:12 the Subbath day’s journey is placed at the distance of Mount Oli- vet from Jerusalem. Anyone could walk the distance from the city around the suburhs, and by the rule of the Levites this distance was fixed at a circumference the radlus of which was 2,000 cubits. The Talmud places the Sabbath d Jjourney at 12 miles, Ancient Vanity Boxes.

Plerre Cauchon, bishop of Beauvais, who was ambitious to become arch- bishop of Rouen, “framed” Joan of Arc and caused her to be burned at the, stake, dccording to Henry W. Harris, Jr,, writing in the Boston Globe. The - untutored maid who had spurred .the French on to victory, just ds England’s hordes appeared to have overrun the country, was captured by the duke of Burgundy, a rebel against the king of France, and he sold her to the duke of Bedford, regent for Henry VI, the boy king of Eng- land, for $110,000. Bedford sought to discredit Joan of Are to her people, hoping in this way to upset the . coronation of King Charles VII of France, and gain the throne for the British king. Bishop Cauchon, who was seeking Britain’s ald at Rome, was chosen as the tool. He it was who formed the court which tried the maid and convicted her of heresy. She was ordered to be burned, but. the sentence was commuted to life imprisonment on condition that she quit wearing a page’s costume, wear women’s garb Instead, and-sign a paper, or rather put a cross to it, as she couldn't read or write. She did so. The paper was a ‘“confes- sion” of all the framed-up charges. Later she was tricked into break#g her vow and was practically forced to wear the page's clothes again, Then she was “discovered” in this garb, accused of breaking her vow and ordered burned at the stake. Alaric’s Pillage of Rome. On August 24, 410, Alaric, at the head of the Goths, entered Rome at midnight, allowing pillaging for six days, but giving orders to his soldiers to be sparing of hloodshed, respect the honor of women and not to burn the buildings dedicated to religion. A part of the city was destroyed with many anclent works of art.
