Brother of Tecumseh
" Neglected by History
Elkswatawa, younger brother of
Tecumseh, was largely responsible for
the part that great Indian ‘warrior
and statesman played in organizing
a federation of the red men to op-
“pose the encroachments of the whites.
In 1805 Elkswatawa proclaimed him-
_8elf a religious leader and began to
arouse the tribes of Indiana, Ohio and
‘Tllinois, to the great disturbance of
the settlers, His doctrines were not
primarily revolutionary, but temper-
ance and total abstinegce were tenets,
‘ together ‘with reverence for old age
and sympathy for the infirm. He also
urged his people to resist Intermar-
riage and to preserve their own cus
toms and costumes. This being In
line with what all Indlans had held as
ideal previous to Caucasian Invasion,
his preaching caused much excitement
among the tribes and fear among the
whites, It was the response of the
Indians to his brother's pleading that
started Tecumseh on his mission in
the cause of federation which took
dim to the Cherokees and the other
more civilized tribes of the South, In
the course of which he covered many
‘housand miles.
{ Colonial Home Built
to Defy Father Time
Shortly before the French revolu
ion many noblemen left France and
came to Louisiana, where they estab
dished fine homes, becoming substap
“ial, loyal citizens of the South.
Among these was Marquis Ternant,
who arrived about 1788 on his estate
in Pointe Coupee, one of the earliest
} Settlements on the Mississippi river
Here he built a stately French colo
nlal mansion and presented it to his
“ride on their wedding day.
It was constructed throughout of
ood cypress, cut from the swamps on
the place. The rafters and heavy tim
bers were hewn to shape and put to
gether with wooden pegs. ‘I'he In
terior was finished with hand-carved
moldings and antique panel work.
®hich still preserve the characteristic
yrandeur of the Eighteenth century.
The excellent condition of this his
toric manor house today Is a tribute
to the building wisdom of its founder
in selecting native cypress for all
parts.
Black Phosphorus
Black posphorus, hitherto supposea

duced by the contact of phosphorus
‘with mercury on which it can react
at the moment when it passes from
the liquid to the solid state. - Molten
phosphorus dissolves mercury, giving
a colorless solution. When cooled
the saturated solution remains color
less in all low temperatures, but if the

If black phosphorus Is melted, the

The Happiest People
{ have learned that the happies:
veople in the world are those who are
bappily mated and have large families.
Although they do not say, as a rule.
that they are happy, I often see the
envy in -other people's eyes. They
work hard, apparently not knowing
how disagreeable are the tasks thrusi
on them, and without caring how much
their labors make them tired. When
the evening comes, they carry home
the profits of their toil and lay them
on the laps of the women who love
them. Perhaps, somewhere In the

Taste and Invention
for generations past architectur:
has been so overladen with extrane
ous matter that many authorities ac
tually preach that in this branch of
art it Is In bad taste to Invent, Cor
rect architecture, they say, consists
merely In reassembling borrowed
forms, All of which Is palpably ab-
surd, If the Greeks had thought so
there never would have been any
Greek art, On the contrary, architec
ture, now as ever, consists In solving
problems of utility as economically
and appropriately as may be.~New

Special Folding of
Bills Prevents Loss
With many men it is a common
habit to carry a few odd bills in con-
venient pockets to sdve themselves
the trouble of pulling out their wal-
lets to pay for small articles pur-
chased. Frequently these bills are"
folded in Indifferent fashion and
‘stuffed into pockets where other bills,
folded with equal carelessness, may
be reposing.
Bankers point out that this is apt
to be a costly habit, as a bill may be
dropped when some of them are with-
drawn from the pocket. They point
out that, there is one proper way to
handle bills thus carried; that is, by
smoothing out the bills, placing them
together, preferably with the smaller
denominations on top and larger be-
low, although that is entirely a matter
of preference. Then one end of the
little pile of bills is turned inward to
the depth of about an inch or so and
folded down, after which the bills are
creased lengthwise down the center
and folded over. Finally the narrow
strip of bills is folded from end to end
in the most convenient little wad.
In this way the bills are all locked
together and there is no danger of
any being separated and lost, while
the owner can readily unfold them and
extract what he wants at any time, re-
folding the balance securely and re-
turning them to his pocket.
Character Shown in
Likes and Dislikes
if you are ever in doubt as to
whether an acquaintance would prove
a good companion, there is one in-
fallible sign by which you can make
sure of the matter. When you talk
‘to him notice whether he tells you
first of something he likes or dislikes.
If he is prone to air his dislikes you
may be sure he will not prove a very
cheerful companion. His mind is de
structive. He is more concerned with
pulling to pieces than with building
up. Such a person has a tendency to
shut up one’s mind or put it on its
guard against impulses and innova
tions. He has a sensitive nature that
withdraws itself into its shell on the
least impact of the common things
about him. One will get nothing from
him but grumblings and animadver-
sions.
The person on the other hand whe
quickly makes you acquainted with
what he likes is one who-will prove a
fine stimulating companion. He Is
ardent, curious, adventuring. He will
communicate his own enthusiasm and
awaken in those he meets tastes and
sympathies and ideas. He is a builder,
a creator, a doer. Such men of in-
finite likes are to be cultivated.
Old Roman Religion
Ruins of a Roman soldiers’ temple
tothe eastern sun god Mithra, dat
ing back to before A. D. 325, have
recently been uncovered near the north
German city of Dieburg. The find is
regarded as one of the most important
archeological discoveries ever made in
Germany. The altar piece, a slab of
sandstone about a yard square carved
with scenes from the mythical life of
the god. was found in almost perfec!
condition. The cult of Mithra was an
immensely popular religion in Rome
during early Christian times, especial-
ly in the legions, which spread ii
throughout the vast extent of the em
pire, and it was only with much diffi
culty that Christianity finally was abl
to overcome and replace it.
Truly Feminine Role
ihe Woman's neighbor is the mothe,
of a girl of eleven, a boy of nine, and
another wee daughter of five. One re
cent rainy afternoon the Woman
dropped in for a chat and found ali
three children at home. In the course
of the conversation the subject
changed to plans for the future. The
mother in an attempt to discover her
children’s viewpoints asked each one
to name his or her ambition, The gir!
of eleven replied without hesitation
that she intended to be a great singer.
The boy chose as his vocation the pro.
* fession of acting. In response to the
British dramatic | © 22me question, however, the little one
of five answered simply, “I want to be

Effective Comeback
When Dr. Wellington Koo, highly
cultured and American educated
Chinaman, was in Washington he at-
tended a banquet and found himself
seated next to an obsequious Ameri-
can, of the kind who thinks there is
only one kind of Chinaman. The first
course had passed and the American
thought it time to start some sort of
conversation. “Likee soupee?’ he
asked of Koo. The Chinaman bowed
affirmatively. A few minutes later,
when the toastmaster had finished his
pening remarks, Koo leaned over.
‘Likee speechee?’ the Chinaman
quizzed the American. Conversation
hetween them lagged after that.—

Ancient Courts
as a result of a recent inquiry, I
has been ascertained that there are
more than 100 courts in England that
have not had a session for 50 years.
The origin of these Inferior local
courts can be traced to the time when
there had to be ag many courts in the
lafid ns there were manors, so that

man’s door.
Among the Forest courts there exis

Drew on Imagination
: for Spirited Ballad? |
Alfred Tennyson in his poem, “The
Revenge: A Ballad of the Fleet,” in- |
dicates that Sir Richard Grenville, |
commanding the Revenge when the
English fleet of sixteen ships encoun-
tered fifty-three Spanish men of war
at the Azores, declined to withdraw
when Lord Thomas Howard, the fleet
commander, signaled the ships to i
stand out to sea. The poet says Gren-
ville remained to fight the whole Span-
ish fleet because he had 90 men ill on
shore and would not leave them be
hind to be tortured.
Historians, however, believe that
Grenville misunderstood the signal to
withdraw. Undaunted by the terrific
odds, Grenville tried to break the
Spanish line. For 15 hours the Re-
venge, with 150 men, battled against
5,000 on board 15 Spanish ships.
Some of the Spanish ships could not
get Into the melee because they would
have fired into their own ranks.
Finally Grenville knew he was beaten
and he wanted to sink the Revenge,
but his men induced him to surrender.
He had been so seriously wounded in
the fighting that he died a few days
later on board a Spanish ship. The
Spaniards put a crew of their own on
the Revenge and a short time later
the ship sank In a storm, carrying
down with her the foreign crew.—

Austrian Fowls Lack
Proper Neck Covering
A peculiar breed of fowls called
Naked Neck has come to this country
from Austria, where it is said te
have originated. The name comes
from the fact that the fowls are desti-
tute of feathers from within an inch
or two back of the head down the en-
tire length of the neck and on to the
shoulders. This peculiarity of plum-
age is very marked, and the neck and
shoulders have an unnatural appear-
ance. They are not attractive; In
fact, they are very unattractive, and
the peculiar sensation to the hand
when grasping the naked portion of
the neck is very unpleasant. The skin
of the neck is smooth, and, when ex-
posed to the sun during the summer
months, turns red and has a raw ap-
pearance, as if the blood were gath-
ered beneath and close to the skin,
They are very hardy; are but seldom
seen, and have been bred In Austria
only as novelties,
Indian Fishing Methods
The methods used by the Indians
dshing, before the advent of the white
man, were quite modern. Starting
from the simple device of attaching
the bait to the end of a line, the pro-
gressive order of fishhooks used by
the Indians seems to be as follows:
(a) The gorge hook, a spike of bone
or wood, sharpened at both ends and |
tastened at its middle to a line, a de-
vice used also for catching birds; (b)
a spike set obliquely In the end of a
plain shaft; (ec) the plain hook; (d)
the barbed hook; (e) the barbed hook
combined with sinker and lure, This !
series does not exactly represent |
stages in invention; the evolution
may have been effected by the habits |
of the different species of fish and
their increasing wariness. The mate.
rials used for hooks by the Indians |
were wood, bone, shell, stone and cop. |
per. The Mohave employed the re- |
curved spines of certain species of
cactus, which are natural heoks.
Locoa Should Be “Cacao’”}

Cars Quickly Cleaned
After passing through most tunnels,
rains are usually dirtier than they
vere when they entered, but exactly
che reverse Is true of a passage over
one of the railroad lines In France,
After going through it, says Popular
Mechanics Magazine, every car is
brushed and vacuum-cleaned, saving
the time and labor required for scrub
bing with hand implements. The tun
el is an archway which is lined with
brushes and vacuum-cleaning attach
ments. As the train is pulled slowly
along, the polishing and cleaning ap-
paratus functions automatically ang,
in doing so, reaches almost every part
of the exterior of the cars.

A Tribute to the Late Lyman Eddy.
The article below saying tribute
to the Christian spirit of the late Ly-
man T. Eddy, of Milesburg, appeared
in the Toledo, Ohio, News-Bee, issue
of Oct. 27.
It was under the heading “Follower
of Christ” and was written by the
Rev. T. L. Rynder. We presume that
the author is a son or other relative
of the late T. P. Rynder once a very
well known citizen of Centre county.
Nestled in the heart of the moun-
tains of central Pennsylvania is the
little town of Bellefonte, now the
end of the first leg of the air mail

famous preparatory school for boys
crowns one of its hills, from the base
of which pour forth the blue waters
of the spring which gave the settle-
ment its name.

ity of iron that some of the cables of
the Brooklyn bridge were made in
them. On the mountain sides were
the simple houses of the furnace men
and charcoal burners, and in them
lived old folks who had known these
plain log structures as their homes all
their lives.
The advent of the great furnaces
made these small ones less and less
profitable, and the income from this
one was so little that the owners did
not care to continue its operation.
But their superintendent had lived
among the workmen for years, and
knew their attachment to their homes,
and how difficult it would be for many
to secure work of any kind if the
plant closed. So he persuaded the
proprietors to keep it going. Year
after year this able man worked at
his small salary, superintending the
mining, charcoal burning, transpor-
tion and smelting of the ore, and made
repeated trips to eastern cities to se-
cure contracts.

Many who had heard his voice when
they were well sent for him when
they were dying that they might hear
him sing again before they entered
“the land of fadeless day.”
One Sunday a member of a New

“Why does a man who can sing like
that stay in this little town? That
voice would earn him a fortune In
