R. 8, says that the birthplace of the mod- ern divining rod, whether used to locate minerals or water, was in the mining districts of Germany, probably the Harz mountains, Its first recorded use was in prospecting for mineral lodes. | The first mention of the use of the modern rod was in the latter part of , the fifteenth century. Books published in the sixteenth century have pictures of miners searching for mineral veins in a very businesslike way by noting the dipping of a hazel or willow rod, the forked ends of which are held in the hands of an expert. German miners brought the forked rod into England toward the end of the sixteenth century for the exploitation of the Cornish mines. Professor Bar- rett points out that the drooping char- acter of the willow was probably be- lieved to have something to do with the minerals concealed in the ground and that “it was but natural to cut a light branch from one of the trees and to see if it drooped in prospecting for ores.” Thus the “dowsing rod” came into universal use among the miners of Europe, although it was soon believed that only certain persons had the gift of using the rod. The Hudson River. No Dutch or English man can affirm the discovery of the Hudson river. Verrazzano must have distanced Hud- son’s archives by nearly a hundred years. However, the Dutch and Eng- lish liaison in the matter is close. Hud- gon is appropriated by Dutch minds and has a Holland tradition round him. He came in a Dutch yacht called the Half Moon in 1609. His sailors were Hollanders and Englishmen. He rep- resented a Dutch East India company on its way to find the much sought for northeast passage to India. He explored the Hudson, going as far as the little town that bears his name, and he himself has been transmitted to posterity with such blended and mixed traditions as to constitute him well nigh a half breed in people’s minds. The names of the river are varied. North river, the Great river, the Mauritas and in the year 1616 bore legally for some length of time the name Riviere Van den Vorst Moritias. —Marie Van Vorst in Harper's Maga- zine. The Licorice Plant. The licorice plant resembles a rose with a single green stem, reaches a height of about three feet and bears a small purple star shaped flower. The first year’s root growth resembles a loosely twisted string of tow and may ' run to twenty feet in length. The sec- ' ond year it assumes a woody sub- stance when dry, and the third year it acquires its commercial value. The time for digging the root is the win- ter, when it is dried and crushed un- der heavy stones drawn round on it by mules, much as olives are crushed to extract their oil. A Witness’ Retort. Curran once so far forgot himself as to tell a witness whose evidence he | wished to discredit that there was scoundrelism reflected in his face. “I was never before aware that my face made such a good mirror,” retorted the other. The answer was all the more pointed from the fact that Cur- ran, despite his unrivaled forensic qualities, had a somewhat evil visage. Sanitary Instinet.

With All Her Failings, She Is Held | In High Esteem. “Burma, as in many other things,” writes V. C. Scott in his book “The Silken East,” “is in advance of more reputedly civilized countries in the status it accords to its women. The infant marriage and shutting up in walled houses, the polygamy, the ha- rems, the social punishment of widows, the denial of spiritual rights which pre- vail in India are unknewn in Burma. Here women marry when they are of age and after they have seen some- what of the world. They marry, for the most part, whomsoever they will and from love. They are not handed over as chattels to a man whom they know not, but are courted and won. The married women’s property act has in effect been established for centuries in Burma. In this country, where the women earn so much, the woman’s earnings are her own. Divorce is eas- ily obtained, but seldom asked for. The lightness of the marriage laws, the readiness of the Burmese women to en- ter into an easy alliance, shock the vir- tue of the strenuous foreigner, but within her ideals she is a perfectly proper, modest and well mannered wo- man. “She has failings. Who has not? Her practice of chewing betel is inelegant and destructive to her teeth; her voice is apt under the pressure of adversity to be shrill; her keen business faculties detract a trifle from the romance in which, as in a halo, all women are en- veloped; in old age she is very ugly, and even in youth her nose is stumpy, her lips a little thick, her cheek bones high and heavy—but these are Cau- casian objections. “In the eyes of the young men of the land the Burmese girl is a peerless creature, and her influence over their hearts and their passions is immense. ‘What is more, few men in Burma ever undertake anything of magnitude with- out first seeking the able counsel of their wives.” ot — Very Likely.

A Bit of Sicily. “There is no Italian town more plc- turesque than the Sicilian capital, Pa- lermo.” writes a traveler. “In its port lie crowded the queerest coasting craft I have ever set eyes on. Sailing ships of all rigs, their hulls painted all the colors of the rainbow, nose up against the quay, where mule carts, whose drivers are shouting at the top of their voices, wait to take away the mer- chandise. The narrow street where the custom house officers examine the goods brought ashore is a place of ter- rific noise. When a driver, two clerks and two custom house officers are dis- cussing the contents of a bale or a cask it seems as though murder must be committed within the next few sec- onds. But somebody signs something, the cart moves on, and everybody laughs.” The Palindrome. A palindrome is a line or phrase that reads the same backward as forward. The Latin language is full of such lin- guistic freaks; the English has but few. One at least is inimitable. 1t rep- resents our first parent politely intro- ducing himself to Eve in these words: “Madam, I'm Adam.” From the Latin we have, “Roma tibi subito motibus ibit amor” (Rome, love will come to you suddenly with vio- lence). Medical. IQERING MEDICINE There is no other season when good medicine is so much needed as in the Spring. The blood is impure, weak and impoverished—a condition indi- cated by pimples and other erup- tions on the face and body, by de- ficient vitality, loss of appetite, lack of strength, and want of ani- mation. Hood’s Sarsaparilla and Pills make the blood pure, vigorous and rich, create appetite, give vitality, strength and animation, and enre all eruptions. Have the whole family begin to take them today. “Hood's Sarsaparilla has been used in our family for some time, and always with good results. Last Spring I was all run down and got a bottle of it, and as usual re- ceived great benefit.” Miss Bru- 1Au Boyce, Stowe, Vt.
