GREAT MAN FIRST "OUNCE"
Term Has ComTTilown to Us In thi
Present Day In a Somewhat
Roundabout Mannor.
If you should ever be called •
"dunce," don't feel insulted. Just
show your superiority by springing
this Interesting bit of information. He
who made the term famous was s
great man. He was considered one ot
the most learned doctors of the early
church and of tne Frauciscan order.
His name was Duns Scotus, and tbough
he was dunce by name he was not by
nature, as be was renowned for hi*
sharpness and keenness. The present
significance of the word "dunce," de-
rived from the name "Duns," is the
result of aneient theological disputes.
Awny back In the Middle ages tht
churchmen who had been educated iu
the schools founded by Charlemagne
were considered the savants of their
age and were respected for their great
learning. The time soon came, how
ever, when these theologians were no
longer regarded as authorities ant!
when their writings became unpopuiai
because of the ponderous add scholar-
ly style in which they were expressed
Among such theologians, called
"schoolmen," Duns Scotus was a prom
inent representative and leader. Con
sequently when a follower of his ex-
pounded theories or quoted from, the
works of the "schoolmen," he was
told, "O, you are a Duns," which Ira
plied, "Old stuff, my boy, entirely too
dull to be modern." Hence we have
the word "dunce," meaning dull,
heavy, dense.
Signal fer Bucket Brigade.
Visitors In Philadelphia are often
puuied as to the significance of the
•mall metal plaques that appear on
tha fronts of many old houses, observes
the New York Staring Post They
ponder over the Insignia, wondering
whether these curiosities are the coats
of anas of the original totildere or the
marks of some old craft But the
plaque that hears a tree does not rep-
resent the family tree of some old
Quaker line, nor does the one which
sports aa object that looks like a
chum with a hose attachment signify
that the eld rod brick structure-was
once a dairy. They are the marks of
old lMOianco companies. They date
back to the days when each Insurancw
company had Its own bucket brigade
for the protection of Its policy holders.
When the bouse caught lire it mnst
be saved. If saved It was, by the com-
pany which had branded the structure
as being under Its protection.

Fierce Tribe of South America Brought
Into Subjection Through Magic
of White Man.
During the three centuries after the
conquest of Peru, Spanish missionar-
ies penetrated all parts of South Amer-
ica, but were never able to gain head-
way among the wild tribes of what
Is known as the Gran Chaco, or north-
ern Argentina and western Paraguay,
an exchange explains.
These tribes, belonging to what Is
known as the Chaco-Guaycurau fam-
ily of Indians, were described by the
early Spaniards as ferocious and Ir-
reconcilable, with an Intense hatred of
the white man. They were restless
nomads, who lived by hunting and fish-
ing. Only within the last twenty years
have they allowed the white man to
advance his settlements and then only
because of fear of the Argentine army.
One sugar plantation and mill em-
ploys over 2,000 of these Indians. But
they still keep to themselves and per-
sist In the£r own customs. They live
apart in "tolddos," or reed huts; dye
and tattoo their skins and adhere to
their aneient ceremonies. They have
formed a great liking for the Amer-
ican moving pictures, however. At
one plantation a moving picture show
(4 provided at the Indian village ev-
ery Saturday night, and, although they
understand neither English nor Span-
ish, the Indians squat on the ground
and follow the actors with many
grunts In their guttural language. The
American cowboy actors are their fav-
orites.

Cleopatra's Pearl.
Everyone knows the story whlcb
is told of Cleopatra to illustrate hei
luxurious habits of living—namely
that she dissolved In her wine a precl
ous pearl. No one seems to have ques-
tioned what must have been the effect
upon the drink, but one scientist, at
least, questions pointedly the possl
bility of such a solution.
Do we not all believe that the mag
niflcent Cleopatra, regardless of ex
pense, dissolved In her wine cup a
pearl of great price, *s if it had beer
a lump of sugar! Is not the "fact'
familiar to every one? Yet, if you
test It, you will find the fact to be
that pearls are not soluble In wine
The most powerful vinegar attack*
but very slowly and never entirelj
dissolves them, for the organic mattei
remains behind, In the shape of
spongy mass larger than the original
pearl.
A Damp Fool.
Talking about "getting work out ol
a husband," In a certain family there
Is a saying, "I wish you would do this
while you are wet." A woman whose
husband was very good about helping
about the house had been Imposed up-
on until It came to the last straw,
when he was driven In from a hard
day's work In the field In the rain.
When he reached the house his wife
met him with, "While you are wet"
do this, and "while you are wet" do
that.
After she had kept him going for
lome time she ordered him t«> get a
bucket of water "While he was wet."
He did, and when he came back with
it he threw it ou her and saidr "Now
you do something while you arc wet."*
