The custom of allowing chickens and
other fowls to run at Luge is in violation

unforced. Il is a great annoyance to have
lawns gardens and flower beds torn up

Every good citizen should begin now
the task of ussisting in carrying the bond

is a step the town will be proud of in
other days like it is proud of the purchase
of the Worcester property.
The purchase of the Auditorium and
the building of a railroad eating house
will be two of the really big items placed
to the credit of Vinita this year. The
erection of a high school building will
have to wait until there is a public sp rit-
ed school board elected.

Democratic votes of the house and thirty-
fe of the senate for that honor having
been nominated at the Democratic prima-
ries without opposition. The wide pub-
licity of the senator byrcason of his popu-
larity as a platform speaker has made
bun an idol in this state. He is clean in
ids private and public life and will never
brother than a credit to the young state
which has twice honored him. Whatever
eofltor he makes will be those of judgment.

EXPERTS FOOLED BY MASTER.
Are Not Always Ablo to Judge
thenticity of Pictures.
Au-
One hears so much about false "old
mast em" and fake art treasures that U
Is Interesting to recall the following
anecdote which is vouched for Ly M.
Jean Bernard so well Informed on all
that concerns art and artists. Tha
story concerns a Kemhr'ndt which
formerly figured at the Antwerp mu-
seum under tho description of tho
"Jcune hoinuio a la cuIihsc" during
tho exhibition of Iiembrandt's works.
To-day the canvas belongs to the Ger-
man emperor. Twenty years ago the
owner of the picture went to a col-
lector M. Seldemeyer and showed
him the Hembrandt offering to sell It
tu htm for $lti00. M. Seldemeyer in
turn showed the picture to his usual
experts who declared it to bd an Imi-
tation and the next day It was re-
turned to the owner with the remark
that ho could not g.et a couple of
guineas for it In Paris. The possessor
of tho "Jeune bom me a la cuirasse"
said nothing but took the picture to
M. Antonln Proust who at once recog-
nized it to bo one of the best examples
of tho great Dutch painter. The Ger-
man painter Knauss purchaser for the
imperial museums happened to be lu
Paris at the time and when tho Rem-
brandt was BhWwii to him he immedi-
ately offered to buy It and the deal
was concluded for $1600. The trans-
action was one which the German em-
peror has never had any reason to re-
gret for if he wished to Fell the pic-
ture to-day ho could easily obtain
$100000.
DEVICE OF VENETIAN PRINTER.
Aldus Manutius Author of System of
Punctuation.
Punctuation by means of slops and
points so as to Indicate tho mean-
ing of sentences and assist tho reader
to a proper enunciation is ascribed
originally to Aristophanes a gram-
marian of Alexandria Egypt who
lived in the third century 11. O. What-
ever his system may have beer. it
was subsequently neglected and for-
gotten but was reintroduced by
Charlemagne the various slops and
symbols being designed by Warne-
l'ried and Alcuiu.
The present system of punctuation
was introduced in tho latter part of
the fifteem h century by Aldus Manu-
tius a Venetian printer who was re-
sponsible for our full stop colon
semicolon comma marks of Inter-
rogation and exclamation parenthesis
and dash hyphen apostrophe and quo-
tation marks. These were subsequent-
ly copied by other printers uniil their
use became universal.
Most ancient languages were inno-
cent of any system of punctuation. In
many early manuscripts the letters
are placed at equal distances apart
with no connecting link between even
in the matter of spacing an arrange-
ment which must hav rendered read-
lug at sight somewhat difficult.
Liberty Principle and Sentiment.
No theory is of much service in tha
matter without a character responding
to the theory without a feeling which
prom ts ihe assertion of individual
freedom and is indignant against ag-
gressions on that freedom whether
against self or others. Men care noth-
ing about a principle even If they un-
derstand it unless they have emotions
responding to it. When adequately
strong tho appropriate emotion
prompts resistance to Interference
with Individual actions whether by an
Individual tyrant or by a tyrant major-
ity; but at present in the absence of
the proper emotion there exists al-
most everywhere the miserable super-
stition that the majority has a right to
dictate to the individual about every-
thing whatever. By Herbert Spencer
in letter to M. D. Conway.
Beneficial Sneeze.
There is no more sure cure for an
attack of faintness than a hearty
sneeze. It Immediately stimulates the
blood vessels of the brain. In many
persons fainting never goes so far
as a loss of consciousness or loss of
control of the limbs. And in these
the sudden weakness Is often brought
to an end by a sneeze caused by na-
ture herself without any external aid.
A grain or two of pepper snuff or to-
bacco Introduced into the nose or tick-
ling its interior lightly will usually
Insure a sneeze. These simple proce-
dures or others similar in character
may prove Invaluable when smelling
salts and other elegant aids are ab-
sent. Unchanging Laws of Etiquette.
It is astonishing to see how little
the standard of good manners seems
to have changed since the middle ages.
The strenuous life and the higher
education have not altered our concep-
tion of the laws of good breedtng. even
if thev leaTe us little time for the
1 carrying uiu oi uicui i - -!
conduct upon which we have all been
brought up are In many respects ire
same to-day as those propounded lu
the manuals of etiquette of hundreds
of years ago. Ladies' Field.
Valuable Medicine.
No family medicine chest should be
without peroxide of hydrogen. This Is
of the greatest value in disinfecting
any abrasions of the skins which may
have been suffered. It 'destroys all
germs with which it comes in contact
and should be Immediately applied to
pin prick or any other of the so-
called trifling hurts. As a matter of
fact ft pin wound is often more dsa-
gereus than one a hundred times its
sii. for the point may contain sosse
deadly poison which is ieted lce
the prlek Is even otlc4. .
All Is Vanity.
Vanity Is bo anchored In tho heart
of man that a soldier a camp-follower
a cook a porter makes his boasts and
is for having bis admirers; even
philosophers wish fur them. Thor.a
who write against it yet desire the
glory of having written well; those
who rend desire the glory of having
read; I who write this way have this
desire and perhaps those who will
read it. Pascal.
When Talleyrand Scored.
When Mme. de Stael published her
celebrated novel "Dolphine" she was
supposed to have painted herself in
the person of the heroine and M. Tal-
leyrand in that of an elderly lady
who Is one of the principal characters.
"They tell me" said he the first time
ho met her "that we are both of us
in your novel In the disguise of
women."
Prosperity and Adversity.
If we do not suffer ourselves to be
transported by prosperity neither
shall we be reduced by adversity. Our
souls will be proof against the dan-
gers of both these states; and having
explored our strength we shall' be
sure of It; for in the midst of felicity
we shall have tried how we can bear
misfortune. Lord Colingbroke.
Agreed with the Lecturer.
During a lecture at one of Uio lead-
ing colleges on the subject of "VenUIa-
tlon and Architecture" the tempera-
ture of the room rose to a very high
pitch. "And now we will turn to
Greece" said the lecturer. "So we
will" said one of the audience wiping
his brow "unless you open some of
the windows."
Mirror Starts a Fire.
A fire which broke out in High street
Walton was found to have originated
in strange fashion. A circular shaving
mirror standing next the window In a
bedroom had focused the rays of the
sun on the bed and the intense heat
speedily set tho clothed ablaze. Lon-
don Standard.
Out of His Depth.
Two men were discussing the
trouble in India and each had a deal
to say about his notion of Hindu char-
acter. "They're such a bellicose set
of people" said one. "Indeed!" ex-
claimed the other In surprise. "I was
always under the Impression that they
were very spare men."
Where Public Is Protected.
The laws of Italy are strict with re-
gard to theaters and circuses. Every
act or performance announced on the
program must be given. Any great ex-
aggeration by means of pictures In-
tended to mislead the public is pun-
ishable. His Mug.
n iri'--hnian went into a barber
shop and was compelled to wait a
long time. When ho finally climbed
Into a chair the barber asked him:
"Have you a mug?" Yes" replied the
Irishman "and I want you to shave it
quick." Atchison Globe.
Food for All the World.
The nut trees of the world could it
is calculated provide food all tho year
round for the population of the globe.
Brazil nuts grow in such profusion
that thousands of tons of them are
wasted every year.
London's Population.
The population of London 6519-
000 standing shoulder to shoulder
would form a human wall 1800 miles
long; or put on an area of 0.7 square
mile or on a square having sides of
O.St of a mile.
Spurious Politeness.
"Politeness" observes the Philoso-
pher of Folly "is very often a base
imitation. The man who gets up to
give a lady his seat In a crowded car
is usually the man who has to get off
at the next street."
Monopoly of Camphor Oil.
Parsee merchants have a monopoly
of the manufacture of camphor oil at
Foochow China controlling 17 dis-
tilleries and export most of the prod-
uct to India. '
High Winds on the Desert.
in the sandy deserts of Arabia
whirling winds sometimes excavate
pits 200 feet in depth and extending
down to the harder stratum on which
the bed rests.
Be Not Pleased with Thyself.
Be always displeased at what thou
art if thou desire to attain to what
thou art not; for where thou hast
pleased thyself there thou abldest.
Francis Quarles.
No Fear Now.
No need to fear Japan. An oil trust
has begun to work over there and
now the nation never will have any
money. Detroit News.
Accounted For.
It's hard to tell what becomes of the
pins but a little girl up north has just
coughed up a shoe button. Atlanta

Origin of Term "Yankee."
"Yankee" is from endeavor of In-
dians to pronounce the word "En-
glish." which they rendered "Yeng-
hees." All Natural Believers.
