Newspaper Page TextN e Sausages. _Surprising as it may seem. thore are 1,700 different varieties of sausages in the world today. All natlenalities love certain national dishes, and some form of sausage seems included in the cui sine of every country. China makes sausages, and very good ones, from the eastern point of view. Germany is pre-eminently a sausage-eating na tion. Great quantities of this Zood are consumed by the people of Latin ‘countries. In Italy and Franse they are eaten more as a relish ‘than ax a dish, and the noonday meal often eommences with thin slices of cold sausage, flanked with a few olives and ‘a pat of fresh butter. Sausages in France are associated with certain fete days, and a kind of blood sau sage is always served at the Christ mas eve supper. Neither is sausage a modern food, born of economy and the utilizing of meat scraps. The town of Koenigshurg, Germany, in 1558, celebrated the national dish by mak ing a bologna sausage more than 600 feet long. ' Strike in New Zealand. It was in Octeéber, 1913, that New Zealand experienced a food and fuel shortage as a result of a general strike, which began with a walkout of ship wrights. New Zealand had been re ferred to frequently as “a land with out strikes” by magazine writers, who found in its labor and social laws ma terial for much praise. Its industrial laws often were held up as_models, New Zealand is a British colonial pos session, discovered by Tasman in 1642, The settlers have been often at war with the natives, the Maoris. The do minion does not have a socialist gov ernment, although it has adopted radi cally socialistic policies. The govern ment is vested in a governor, appoint ed by the crown, and a general assein bly consisting of a legislative counuil, appointed by the governor, and a house of representatives, elected. Salaried or “Worth His Salt.” “Salary” is from the Latin, sal (salt), being derived from the early Roman custom of compensating her military officers with provisions as well as with coin, The analogy may still be discerned in the expressiong “He is not worth his salt”"—that is, his perquisites. “Supercilious” from su percilium, the eyebrow, is literally ele vating the eyebrows with disdain. ‘“Sierra,’ as In the Sierra mountains, aptly describes the serrated appearance of this range, the word being Spanish for “saw.” A “cur,” from the Latin curtus, Is philologically a dog, with its tall cut short; hence also the word “curtall” with its amplifications. And curfously we find “saunterer” sprung from La Sainte Terre (the Holy Land) whitherward pilgrims were wont leis urely to journey. ! Peculiar Habit of Eels. . The history of the eel is very re markable, and in some respects unique. During the spring and early summer thousands of young eels sev eral Inches long migrate up rivers from the sea and distribute them selves throughout every accessible body of water, whatever its size or character, frequently traveling over land to regch these. Here they remain concealed in the mud or beneath stones, and feed on all kinds of ani mal matter, living and dead. Many eels appear never to leave the fresh waters in which they have developed but most of them after several years, return to the sea, and enter compara tively deep water where sexual matur ity and spawning takes place, Leader Want Ads Pay!! of The Fitzgerald Leader Will, beginning April 1, be sent through the mails as second class matter.

In the days when the Roman empire was at its height, if you went into the culinary department of an elegant es tablishment you would find saucepans lined with silver and pails of various descriptions richly inlaid with ara besques in silver, and shovels very -handsomely and intricately carved. Egg frames, too, that would cook 20 eggs at once, and pastry molds shaped like shells, and an infinite assortment of gridirons, frying pans, cheese grat ers and tart dishes. The toilet tables of the Roman women were well sup plied in the same lavish fashion. Ivory combs, perfumes, cosmetics, hairpins, even an elaborate hair net of gold, have been recently unearthed. Four Stars Cut From One Jewel. The Four Stars of Africa were cut from the huge Cullinan diamond, which weighed 1% pounds when dis covered in Pretoria in 1904 and pre sented by the Union of South Africa. It looked like a lump of rock salt, and experts said it would have to be di vided in the cutting. The largest por tion was cut in a pear-shaped brilliant and set in the head of the king’s scep ter. The next largest portion was cut in cushion shape and set in the band of the king's state crown. The other two portions are in the band and cross of the queen’s state crown. The larg est portion welighs 51634 carats, and the four together 986 carats, Eyebrows Tell a Story. An Indian doctor has been making a study of the eyebrow, and he has found that in dementia praecox there are nearly always short, bushy hairs nearly meeting in the space between the eyebrows and a noticeable thin ning toward the external side. In eplleptic women the eyebrow is made up of two portions; the inside is in the form of a comma, of which the tall enters in the two branches 6f the external portion in the form of a Y. In epileptic men one often sees large tufted, heavily haired eyebrows, uni ted at the median line, In maniac de pressive cases the absence of the out er third of the eyebrow is common, S it ¢ The Real “Mother Goose.” “Mother Goose” was a real charace ter, and not an imaginary personage as has been supposed. Her mdiden name was KElizabeth Foster and she was born in 1665. = She married Isaae Goosse In 1693 and a few years later became a member of the Old South church, Boston. She died in 1757, aged ninety-two years. The first edi tion of her songs, which were orlg- Inally sung to her grandchildren, was published in 1716 by her son-in-law, Themas Fleet. ' THE LEADER-ENTERPRISE AND PRESS TUESDAY, APRIL sth, 1921 Of the Ancient Writers, The excellence of the ancient write ers does not consist in a trick that can be learned; but in a perfect adapta tion of means to ends. The secret of the style of the great Greek and Ro man authors is that it is the perfeec tion of good sense. In the first. place, said John Stuart Mill, they never use a 4 word without a meaning or a word which adds nothing to the meaning; they knew what they wanted to say and their whole purpose was to say it with the highest degree of exact ness and completeness and bring it home to the mind with the greatest possible clegrness and vividness. The ancients were concise because of the extreme pains they took with their epithets; almost all moderns are pro lix because they do not. The great ancients could express a thought so perfectly in a few words. or sentences that they did not need to add any more, Genius Never Satisfied. To get the product of genius you are never done. Work done must be con stantly subjected to revision. Every time it is done over there is oppor tunity for eliminations or additions. Sometimes you will have to recast the whole thing as your study leads you deeper Into truth. But what of that? The work you put on it will be for gotten in the Joy of a more perfect production. Every revision shows where fmprovement is possible and the very working over makes the final result the more perfect. 'Young men have seldom patience enough to stick to a thikg until it’s put into its best possible shape. But the man of genius is never satisfied. To him work is nev er finished so long as improvement is possible. To him the ideal is the end ‘to work for. Anything less than this is little better than an irritation. Mussel Mud From Sea of Value. Along the shores of Prince Edward island there is to be found extensive deposits of mussel mud, so called lo cally, being organic remains of count less generations of oysters, mussels, clams and other shell fish. The shells, usually more or less intact, are found embedded In dense deposits of a mud like substance, and this combination Is a fertilizer of high value and po tency, It supplies lime and organic matter, besides small quantities of phosphates and alkalis, An ordinary dressing of it has a very marked hene ficial effect on the poor and most ex hausted soils. The shells decay slow 1y year by year, throwing off deposits around Prince Edward island varying from five feet to twenty-five feet in depth. They are taken up by dredg ing macßines, worked from rafts in summer or from the ice in winter. Mouse-Eating Toad. The voracity of the toad in devour ing earthworms, bheetles, earwigs, and other creeping things, is well known, but it is an extremely rare occurrence for the animal to take a living mouse. - Still, a circumsantial account is given, of a toad at Portsmouth, England, that followed a mouse, not quite fully grown, and suddenly drew it into its mouth. The mouse showed the dazed and fascinated signs that it exhibits in the presence of snakes and larger lizards. Dr. J. A. Boulenger has stat ed that he offered a tame toad very small mice, and they were eaten with avidity, and he believed that a toad will take any sort of live prey that it 1s able to swallow. e 1 Have to Be Handy With Ax. ~ Nearly all rural Tasmanian men are fairly dexterous with the ax. In the l back blocks it is a necessity of life, one of the settler's first jobs being to con struct a hut or house out of the grow ing timber surrounding the site. On farms fencing posts are sure to be re ' quired, and splitting them out of tree trunks still demands skill as well as energy, though the older post and rail fence, the all-wood rabbit-proof fence, and the ‘‘chopping block” log fence still in vogue in heavily timbered dis tricts required much more nice ax work than the post and wire fence now generally erected. —————————— Alexander Hamilton's Children.

Candlemas Day. The Romans had a day of purifica tion, and in the course of time the second day of February was called the feast of the purification or pre sentation of Christ in the temple, At the Reformation' the ceremoniey of Candlemas day were not reduced all at once. Henry VIII proclaimed that “On Candlemas day it shall be de clared that the bearing of candles is done in memory of Christ. the spirit ual light, whom Simon did prophesy, as it Is read In the church that day.” Subscribe to the Daily Leader, 20¢ a week, delivered 6 days a week, j ‘——m" R R R Y & WANTED i e e e ————————————————————————— et WANTED—WiII buy any quantity o Fryers, Heus, Roosters, Turkeys, Geese, Ducks, Guinaes delivered.

Some of the most realistic statues of the ancient empire were carved in wood, such as the so-called “Sheikh-el-Beled” and his wife, and a number of others. Woodl was a convenlent ground for polychro matic decoration ; that s, treating the carved figure wlgx a thin coating of plaster upon whic¢h xle artist placed, his colors.

The fleur-de-lis is a heraldic device In armorial bearings of many coun tries, but is especially associated with the royal house (‘f France. The de sign is based on the white lily, and shows three flowers joined together, the central one erect, and the other two bending outward. The shield of the kings of Frdnce was blue, pow dered with golden fleur-de-lis. The standard of France in the days of the empire bore the -device, but it has been abandoned since the days of the republic. Some - people think the fleur-de-lis represents the white iris, the “flower de luxe” of Shakespeare, In Roman and Gothic architecture it is a favorite ornament, . ——————ee . Said About Women. “Man is the dry land, and woman, she is the sea. For whosoever dig geth in. the earth, he findeth out the substance of it. But he that diggeth in the water is for ever fighting its contrariness.”—From “The Book of Artemas.” “If you describe a right woman in a laudable sense, she should have gentle softness, tender fear, and all those parts of life which distin guish her from the other sex.”—Sir Richard Steele. “Last among the characteristics of woman is that sweet motherly love, with which nature has gifted her; it is almost independent of cold reason and wholly removed from all hope of reward.”—Harder. . Proof of War's Havoe. | In spite of the fact that the sea going tonnage of the United States is today nearly 10,400,000 tons greater than in 1914, an advance of more than 500 per cent, and in spite of the in tensive steamiship production in Great Britain and the United States for themselves and other countries, the world’s steel steam tonnage is now less by 3,500,000 tons gross than it would have been if the war had not inter fered with the normal rate of ex ‘pansion. Getting Even With Auntie. Little Sarah, daughter of stanch Re publicans, was being sent to bed early because of naughtiness, and was deter mined to retaliate upon her aunt. “Oh, Lord,” she prayed fervently, “please bless mamma and daddy and Uncle Henry.” Then she added, “And Aunt Mary—with reservations.” | Excellent Definition. “Envy,” said Jud Tunkins, “is what makes people ha? more trouble bearin’ other folks' prosperity than their own misfortunes,” | Japanese Kite Festival. * This is a religious festival. The Japs repair in their thousands to the tops of the highest mountains, where they erect light bamboo structures or huts, the roofs of which are protected with mattingito keep out the wind and rain. There the parents go to sit and eat and talk, while their children play about and fly multicolored kites. Some times there are as many as thirty thousand Kkites of every conceivable shape, ‘style, size and color flying from a mountain less than a square mile In areg. The spectacle is extremely fas cinating, and the kites appear like so many graceful birds or winged griffins, darting hither and thither among the clouds. Rainfall Like Noah’s Deluge. The total annual rainfall upon all the land of the globe amounts to 29,?47 cubic miles, according to the United States geological survey, Department{ of the Interior, and of this quanﬂty{ 6,524 cubic miles drains off through rivers to the sea. A cubic mile of river water weighs about 4,205,650,000 tons, and carries in solution an aver age of about 420,000 tons pof foreign matter. In all about 2,735,000,000 tons of solid matter is thus carried annu ally to the ocean, and a good deal of this is naturally the fertile soll washed from the fields. g ) asssa L Marvels of Carving.
