Black-Draught Makes Her
Feel Fit, Says Missouri Lady.
Mrs. Anna M. Hanley, 25.16
Brighton Street, Kansas City,
Mo., says:
“I have found Black-
Draught a most satisfactory
medicine for constipation,
with which ailment 1 was
troubled for a long time.
“Often 1 suffered from Se
vern headaches which came, I
{ think, from absorbed poisons.
T had a dull, sluggish feeling,
and my work was nreomplisli-
ed only by great efforts.
“I had heard about Black-
Draught, so T decided to try
it, and am thankful to say
I was greatly benefited after
taking it.
“Black-Draught relieved my
constipation and, after I had
over-eomn that condition, I
found tho oilier troubles dis
appeared, too.”
Thcdford's Black-Draught
should relieve you. Try it.

mail. Among the swords is nn ex
ample of a calendar blnde, etched with
Hie names of tlm saints of each day
of the year and the months, separated
by tlieir zodiacal signs, it is said to
have proved very useful to an oilleor
of 1500, who, In moments of danger,
wi,slic'd to bo able to select quickly tlie
proper saint upon whom lie might
call.
There Is also nn Italian knightly
sword of 1150-11",'), with a tongue-
Shaped blade, blackened liilt and large

largest suit of armor In the world is

Tradition Bars Jews*
Union With Gentiles
The American Hebrew says that the
tradition against intermarriage among
Jews is traced back fO’Abraham, who
ordered ids- estate’ manager, Eliezer,
to obtain a’ wife for Isaac from among
his, Abraham's, own people, in Aramea.
It should lie added that this is only
a tradition, it became a practice
among .Tows at the time they returned
from Hie Babylonian exile In Hie
Eiftli century before the common ora.
Intermarriage, however, has taken
place among .Tows at all times. The
reason why Jews have clung to the
tradition of Abraham and the enact
ment of Ezra lies in Hie psychology of
group consciousness, especially as this
is welded by the religious Ideal. The
belief of Hie Jews that they are a
people chosen by Hod to disseminate
knowledge of Him and Ills moral and
ethical will among Hie peoples of the
world is also a great factor motivated
by Hie desire to hold to ils mission in
ihe world and, probably, also by (lie
fear lest intermarriage should weaken
the force for carrying out its mission.
History in Sons
In early times many stories of war
and love were worked into songs by
groups of people. Instead of being
ascribed lo a cerlain poet these tales
in rhyme of true events were the
work of many unknown authors.
Those poems were set to music, in
which was reflected the feeling of Ihe
people. Eacii race lmd ils singers
and these songs were Hie primitive
means of expressing passions, beliefs
and ideas.

As time passed many of (hose songs
were lost and only a lew are now pre
served, for not many of them were
written, but were passed down from
generation (o generation orally. These
narratory songs were numerous in Ihe
lime of Charlemagne, who held this
lingual history of tlie people in high
esteem and had the songs collected in
all the countries under his dominion.
Unfortunately this collection lias been

Sea Bird Gels Seasick
The albatross lives on Hie sea but
being caught and confined to the deck
of a ship it Invariably becomes sea
sick. Sailors are superslit ions about
killing or catching “Hie bird which
makes the wind blow” and it Is rather
rare that they are encountered at
close range, but on a recent scientific
expedition Hie fears of the members
of Hie crew were brushed aside and
| several of the birds were caught on
! a hook bailed with a piece of pork
I and thrown overboard. Some of the
distinguished scientists aboard overt
j went to tho extent of eating some of
Hie flesh which had been cooked in
1 tho shape of a stew and they agreed
1 Hint Hie meat was delicious.
She’ll Learn
A young woman, one of the newly
weds, who sot up housekeeping, wanted
to show her hubby how smart she
was one day before Hie warm wave
struck the city, so she called up a
coal dealer and ordered “a ton of
coal.” The coal dealer asked her as
to what kind of coal, Hie young
woman failing to specify whether it j
; lie pea, nut, stove or furnace coal,
i When tho dealer got through inform
ing her of the different sizes of coal
she asked for the “nicest shade of
black coal.” Apparently tha young
bride thought she was purchasing a
hat or a dress.—Salem News.

Coffee Tasters Need
Keen Taste and Smell
Coffee tasting, as a professional
ability, demands subtlety. There are
only a few experts in Hie world, be
cause rarely are tho senses of taste
and smell of sullielent natural keen
ness to distinguish coffee bases and
blends and to catalogue accurately the
delicate shades of taste and aroma.
More than a hundred different kinds
of cofl'cc are bought and sold in the
United Stales, according to MaJ. Fred
eric McLaughlin, coffee Importer and
noted sportsman. The expert who
buys, blends and finally fa tes coffee
not only knows the characteristics or 1
Mocha, Java, Santos, Guatemala and :
coffee grown in other districts; ho is
able to tell whether samples of each
run true to variety standard.
Tasting coffee is a daily ceremonial
in Hie offices of Hie large importing
and roasting firms. On a revolving
table the cook sets wide bowls of cof
fee, to which exact measures of
cream and sugar have been added.
Tali brass cuspidors stand beside the
chairs, for the export never swallows
1 ho coffee lie Is tasting.
Cut) tests are blind. The cook stands
by with a slip of paper on which Is |
listed Hie blends in Hie dilTerent bowls.
Tho coffee is tasted, and comment
falls in a shower. It may bo found
unusually mellow, or lacking in body.
I’orhnps it Is acid, winy, harsh, neu
tral nr BIo.v. Two more sets of char
acteristics are noted. CoiTee may be
musl.v, ground.v, woody, grassy; or
fall below standard ns rank, sour,
mudd.v or hitter. These factors in
flavor influence the price at which cof
fee sells.
Superior to Radium
for Special Purpose
Tn a garden .iust outside London is a
curious factory. It is n little factory
for extracting mesothorium, the sub-
slancc that lias almost entirely re
placed radium for making luminous
figures on watch dials and clock faces.
Mesothorium Is far cheaper than
radium, and is twice ns powerful In
making tho phosphorescent paints that
are used on the dials glow. Its draw
back is that it has a shorter life than
radium, ils power of emitting alpha
rays dying out in a few years.
The mesothorium is obtained from
the rare earths used in tho manufac
ture of incandescent gas mantles. It
is a chemical process requiring great
skill, care, and patience in gradually
concentrating tho radio-active element
from the'raw material.
Practically all (lie mesothorium used
in England is extracted in a small lab
oratory in a London doctor's garden.
History of Buttons
The button is a product of modern
civilization, since Hie ancient peoples
did not have any such form of hold
ing their clothes together. They were
first used for ornamental purposes.
The next step was the use of Hie but
ton and loop, Hie buttonhole being last
in 1 ho development. Buttons were
first employed in southern Europe in j
Hie Thirteenth and Fourteenth cen
turies. Their manufacture in England
did not commence until tho reign of
Elizabeth. The earliest mention of
the buttonhole in literature occurs In
Ihe year 1501. ’While men’s outer gar
ments are still made with buttons and
buttonholes, tho trend of the present
Is away from such fastenings. Al
most all women's clothes and many
men’s undergarments are now made
without buttons.
Truth About Petrification
There is an old superstition that if
a piece of hickory wood is put in
water it will turn to stone In seven
years. Of course it Is not true. No
wood ever turns to stone. Even wood
which petrifies does not actually turn
to stone. The wood merely acts as a
mold while minerals from water or
Hie atmosphere are deposited as the
wood decays. The length of time re
quired for an object to petrify de
pends upon circumstances. It may be
a few years or a thousand. Ugyplly
it requires a long period,-^-Exchange,
Long-Buried Treasure
Still Lures Seekers
Pneioma canyon, in the mountains
east of San Fernando mission in Cali
fornia, contains, according to tradi
tion, a great chest of gold beaten into
Hie form of plates and platters for
altar and dining service. Some esti
mates place tho value of the treasure
at $1,000,000. I’acioma canyon is wild
and rugged hut men have time and
again tried to find Hie treasure. Aided
by a map 011 a tanned sheepskin,
,sketched with a hot metal point by a
San Fernando padre himself, the seek
ers have been unable to find the chest,
if tradition is true history, tiio chost
contains Hie largest assortment of gold
plates and platters ever beaten into
form by Indian smiths of any of the
missions in the Californios, either be
low or above Hie Mexican boundary
line, Rojcrio lloclm, gold and silver
smith at Hie San Fernando mission,
not only helped bout the plates and
platters, but lie was one of the trusted
parly that hid the golden utensils
when word came that United States
soldiers were marching down Hie San
Fernando valley. A few weeks before
Rocha died lie took frbm his old
wooden chest a piece of tanned sheep
skin, bearing traces of a hot metal
point, and told one of his Indiisa
friends it was a map showing tho loea-
iion of tho lmricd gold. However, cf-
forls to follow tho map to the chest
of gold have been fulile.—Latinos Me-
l’hutridge, in the National Republic.
Nightingale No Right
on Poetic Pedestal?
The poets have (lie nightingale nil
wrong. I to is (lie noisiest, most incon-
siderale, most obstreperous and jaunty
bird in the whole kingdom of birds,
II. D. Lawrence, writing in (lie Forum,
asserts. How John Keats managed to
begin his “tide to a Nightingale” with:
“My heart aches, and a drowsy numb
ness pains my senses,” Is a mystery
to anybody acquainted with tlie actual
song. You bear Hie nightingale sll-
veril.vshouting: "What? WUnt? What,
John? Heartaches and a drowsy numb
ness pains? tra-la!a! trl-II-lllylllyllly-
1 i ly.”
And why Hie Creeks said lie, or she*,
was sobbing in a Imsli for a lost lover,
again I don’t know.
Because, in sober fact, the nightin
gale sings willi a ringing, pinching
vividness and n pristine assertiveness
Hint makes a mere man stand still.
The nightingale is Hie most unsnd
tiling In Hie world; even more unsnd
than the peacock full of gleam. He
lias frothing to he sad about, llo
feels perfect with lib*.
Finland’s Claims to Fame
Finland Is a land of superlatives.
It is Hip northernmost republic on the
globe; It was I lie first country to give
absolute equal suffrage to women; It
was Hie first nation to adopt prohibi
tion; it lias Hie greatest forest area
of any country in Europe; It boasts
the largest paper mill In Europe; It
lias the greatest number of lakes of
any country—15,000—and It boasts of
not merely a “thousand islands” hut
,1(1,00(1, says a travel writer in the
Pathfinder Magazine. Finland for six
Centuries ivas under tho sway of Swe
den; then /or n century it was dom
inated by Russia and finally, in 101K,
(he country attained its long cher
ished ambition and was formed Info
| a republic. The government Is head
ed by a President who Is chosen for
1 six years, and Hie laws are made by a
diet consisting of n single chamber.
Who Invented Ice Cream?
Ice cream provides Hie historian
willi ample opportunity for research,
I for of tho origin of this delicacy little
I is surely known. According to the en-
! cyclopedias, Ice cream was Introduced
! into France from Italy In 1550. Ger
many and England also were enjoying
it at about the same time, but whence
it originally came is a matter of con
jecture. In 17SG, it Is said, the first
advertisement for Ice cream appeared
in the United States. And Mrs. Alex
ander Hamilton is reported to have
been our first hostess to serve her
guests this frozen dessert.

Health for Females
in Open-Air Exercise
There seems to lie no reason why a
woman or girl should not get ns much
enjoyment out of life ns any man or
boy. Too many of our sex consider
themselves hothouse flowers. If Hie
weather is cold or stormy they will
nut. venture outdoors. Tho sun must
bo shining.and tho weather warm be
fore 1 hoy will spend any time outside.
Whether 11 is cold or warm, calm or
stormy, every woman and girl should
spend ut least three hours daily in Hie
open air. Not merely resting, but
walking, washing or playing some
game. Being in tho fresh air Is nil
right in a way, but lo get 100 per
cent value out of Hie good air, one
should exercise in it. Even if Hie ex
ercise consists only of deep breathing,
this,'at least, exercises Hie lungs. I
find that too many women neglect
tlieir brcnlhlng. They very seldom
take a deep breath, it is easy to get
into the Imliit of taking the deep
breathing; expanding tho lungs to tho
limit if only two or three time a day.
Doing this Indoors Is of little value.
The fresh air should he taken ad
vantage of. By tills means, alone, one
can obtain assurance against lung
troubles. And there is no cost what
ever for tills treatment.—Psychology
Magazine.
Embryo Lawyer Puts
Up Successful Pica
Apparently lawyers are horn and not
made, If a delightful yarn published
In the Manchester Guardian correctly
illustrates the development of the legal
mentality from a start I11 Hie cradle,
writes the London correspondent of
the Christian Science Monitor. There
had been a certain liveliness in Hie
nursery just before bedtime, with Hie
result that some of the furniture was
broken. There was a fog of highly
conflicting evidence in the nursery,
and father decided that, failing a full
nnd accurate account of what had
happened, an anticipated holiday at
Scarborough should lie canceled.
After some moments of deep thought
hist young son, who will probably some
day lie lord chancellor, summed up
the position in a sentence: “I have
said I didn't do It, but if I can't go
to Scarborough unless I say I did do
it, 1 think - 1 had better say T did it;
but, if I did do it, 1. don't know I did
it.” Father is reported to have re
tired from Hie discussion at this stage,
without risking furtliei discomfiture by
cross-examination.
Error Led to Travel
IIow tin Englishman made a mis-
iako, then saw America on a dead
man’s ticket, lias recently been told
In London. According to his story
he joined a party of Scandinavian
emigrants crossing (he landing stage
at Liverpool in the belief that lie was
on tlie way to the Isle of Man, nnd
went up the gangway of an Atlantic
liner. A few hours later he began to
suspect lie was going astray, and men
tioned the matter to n member of the
party of emigrants who could, ho had
discovered, speak English. “Next stop
Queenstown,” tho man said, “and lift
er that Now York. But never mind.
When wo were crossing the North sea
one of our party died, so we have a
spare ticket, to which you arc wel
come. Come with us to America.”
After some reflection the vacationist
accepted, and saw America.
Infant Confederate
Probably the youngest soldier on
either side in the Civil war was
George II. Jacobs, a native of North
Carolina. Wliett he was nine years
old lie enlisted as a drummer hoy in
(ho Confederate army with his father
in Hie company of Camden Grays,
lie was made a full-fledged soldier
when he was twelve and he served
throughout the war, both he am] his
father being with General Lee at tlie
surrender, at Appomattox. Jacobs
was born August 20, 185-1, at Nag's
Hoad, where his father kept a hotel
before Hie war. Ite died November
25, 1008. Most of bis war days were
spent in Virginia, lie bad a pony

Social study lias become one of the
most important subjects in tlie mod
ern school curriculum of today. ' The

to “go fisliin' ” with Hio oilier boys
