Entailing of Estates.
The entailing of estates began In
. England in 1285. In 1534 a law was
passed breaking the entail In case of
treason. An entailed estate must be
sold when the holder becomes bank¬
rupt. Virginia abolished entail In
1770.

Pearls Always Popular,
Pearls were known to the ancients
and used by them for personal* adorn¬

traveler of the Middle ages, describes
the king of Malabar as wearing
around his neck a necklace made of
104 large pearls and rubies.

100 PER CENT PERFECT WHITE
Mad* From Pure Barium 8ulphat«—No
Black Shows a Complete Absence
of Color.
Black has ordinarily been called "no
color," and taken to denote the absence
of color. Likewise, white, being con¬
stituted of ail colors, may also he con¬
sidered as no color. A wblte body is
assumed to reflect all the light that
strikes It There is no absorption and
hence there Is no color. • A black body
absorbs all the light that impinges
upon It and reflects none, therefore
there is absence of all color.
Theoretically this is true, but there
Is no white that will reflect 100 per
cent of the light, and no black that will
absorb 100 per cent of the light. We
often hear of a whitest white, until a
whiter one comes along and displaces
it from,its position of eminence. The
same fact holds good for black. But,
inasmuch as some white must be taken
as a standard of comparison a choice
must be made of the whitest white.
Pure barium sulphate is. accordingly,
taken as the 100 per cent perfect white,
the white which reflects all the light
that strikes It.
From a practical standpoint it is
equally Incorrect to state that black
denotes absence of all color. For one
black Is blacker than the next and the
blackest black, which la assumed to
have no color at ail, may be found to
possess some ligbt trace of color when
compared with, another new black.
Furthermore, as the eye la not abso¬
lutely perfect and as Its sensitivity Is
not Infinite absence of light, as de¬
fined by the sensation produced in it,
Is relative only. Even the deepest
black would exhibit traces of color,
would reflect a little light. If our eyes
were sensitive enough to detect It—

ODD EGGS OF THE MURRE
Pacific Coast Bird Picks Its Own
From Among Thousands of
Others.
I The California murre Is by far the
commonest bird on the rocks along the
coast. It crowds together in immense
colonies. The bird lays a single egg in
the open, With no sign of a nest, not
even a bit of grass or a stick to keep
It from rolling. -,
Its peculiar shape helps to keep It
in place, even on the bare, sloping rock,
and if it is accidentally started down
grade by the movement of a bird, It*
does not roil straight but swings
around like a top on its own axis and
comes to a standstill a little lower
down, writes William L. Finley. Thou¬
sands of eggs, and yet no two alike!
The combined effect is that of a whole
spring flower garden of tints.
Some scientists say that the wide
variation in size, shape and color un¬
doubtedly helps the murre to recognize
her own. After the eggs are. hatched,
the difference In pitch, volume and
quality of the voices may tell the
mother which chick belongs to her,—■

Singing to the Jury.
* Lawsuits are settled by an odd
method among some of the remote
tribes of Eskimos. When two natives
have had a dispute each collects his
family and friends to assist him in
settling It. The parties meet at an
agreed time In the biggtest hut in the
village, and literally sing at each
other.
The plaintiff’s party chants a series
of rough verses insulting the defend¬
ant and everything that is his. Then
comes the rival’s turn, and for the
next hour or so they sing at their
enemy, putting their insults Into some
sort of meter.
The old men of the village act as
Judge and. Jury, and the verdict is
given to the side which, in the opin¬
ion of the aged experts, has com
pressed the largest amount of insult
into the best verse and the moat noise.
Speaking From Experience,
Two inhabitants of a sage brush
town were seated on a cracker box ex¬
changing desultory Conversation.
"You know them hot cakes what the

lorn Hope restaurant?"
“Yes, I know ’em. it
"Ever try 'em?” '■ Y*;w.
Yes, I’ve tried ’em.” j
u What do you think of ’em?"
The citizen thus appealed to gazed
reflectively toward the foothills for
some minutes and then rendered judg¬
ment. ■

cook.”—Pittsburgh Chronicle-Dispatch.

Real Pleasure In Life.
The truest pleasure comes from sim¬
ple things. The art of living ia main¬
ly the art of enjoyment. It Is no use
being a millionaire and able to own
palaces If one has lost all pleasure
except that of adding to one’s mil¬
lions.

Can’t Be Made to Work.
4 good many so-called perpetual
motion machines have been Invented
apd the patent office records disclose
hundreds of these. The chief difficulty
with all of them is the same; the fact
that they do notf work. Scientist!
have shown that perpetual motion is
an impossibility and inventors art
wasting their time and energy by at
tempting to produce such a machine
that will work.

IT IS SERIOUS
Some Griffin People Fail to Realize
the Seriousness of a Bad Back.
F. R. Parker, car inspector, R. R.,
753 E., Chapel St., Griffin, says; “My
back felt as stiff as a board and when
I stooped, pains like knife-stabs took
me across my kidneys. Mornings my
back was lame and sore and I felt
tired out. My kidneys acted too free¬
ly and I had to get up two or three
times at nighf to pass the secretions,
which were scalding in passage. A
friend recommended Doan’s Pills
and I used them. Doan’s cured me.
