No one knows who said “See Naples and die” first. It is an Italian proverb coined by some Neopolitan publicist centuries ago before the profession of city advertising brought honor. In Italian It goes: Vedi Napoli, e poi tnuorf. i o , Mouse of Asiatic Origin The mouse spread westward with man much earlier than the rat, which is a comparatively recent immigrant. It is thought to have arrived In Eu rope from Its Asiatic home in the Seventeenth century. .Q Means Condemnation The expression “thumbs down” originated from the old Roman gesture expressing disapproval, given as a signal to the victorious gladiator to slay the loser. (> -V Ass in Biblical Times There has been controversy as to whether the ass was an animal ridden by upper-class people in Pales tine. One writer says: “The most , noble and honorable amongst tl’.e Jews were wont to be mounted on asses.” Traditionally, Mary made the journey from Nazareth to Bethlehem mounted on an ass. ’ _2—— Friendship’s Cost Friendship is to be purchased only by friendship. A man may have authority over others, but he can never have their hearts but by giving his own.—Thomas Wilson. —u- — Historic Corner Stone Tlie corner stone of Hie statehouse, in Boston was laid July 4, 1795, having ' been brought to the spot by 15 white I horses —at that time the number of i states in the Union.

Sheep Helpless When

sheep Helpless When Turned on Its Rack , There are so many ways In which ,'sheep can and do die that It Is a! jwonder any of them are left alive, j The most peculiar method of all la | (that called “dying on their backs,” writes A. B. Gllflllan in Atlantic [Monthly, When horses or dogs roll [they either ndl all the wuy over or 1 ;roll buck to the position from which , they started; they are unable to bal-1 ,nnce themselves on their spine, as It . were. But when a sheep rolls and! •ranches a position with its legs point* 1 Ing upward It is often unable to com* ' Iplete the turn, especlullj’ If It has a heavy coat of wool, as is the case lu spring. 1 The reason for this is that a sheep’s , legs, being very thin, are not able to exert any pull to one side or the olh* 1 er and thus aid the sheep in righting Itself. Its only chance is to twist it- 1 .self violently, in the hope that,some movement may turn It on its side, if ( 'unsuccessful in this the unnatural 'position for some reason cmises gas , to collect In Its body and It Imgins to ( bloat. Finally the pressure of this gas on its heart and lungs becomes so terrific that these organs cease to function. If the ewe is found at any time before life is extinct and is ' turned over on her stomach she will get up, stagger oft and deflate, looking meanwhile like a misshapen bai>loon. . jl j > Brides Cling to Old Beliefs About Luck i Wedding superstitions are dying out •very slowly, according to a British au- ' thority on matrimonial problems. Although the superstitious bride Is 1 now tiie exception rather than the rule, the question of lucky or unlucky i hours, days or months still holds a (place in the mind of many a young 1 woman contemplating marriage, he ■ said. May Is usually a lean month for weddings, and there are couples who ■ hesitate to get married on Friday. Others have a dread of the 13th of the i month. More remarkable still is the fact ' that one o’clock—the thirteenth hour —is very rarely chosen for the wed- ■ ding ceremony. Green—which, worn as an emerald, Is believed to be a talisman against 1 evil—was long viewed with disfavor as a portion of the wedding dress. In recent years, it has been used more frequently. Recently, a prospective bride stumibled on the doorstep while about to ■enter a register office. Had she actually fallen there is little doubt that the 'ceremony, which was taking place on ',a Friday, would have had to be postponed till a more propitious time. Destructive Locusts ’ The cicada or harvest tl.v is not a locust at all, the true locust being a (grasshopper. The periodical cicada ■tor 17-year locust is a large insect 'about an inch and a half long wi,h [wide blunt head and with prominent ,eyes on the outer angles. It is black, ; banded and marked with some orange ion the abdomen, and it has six reddish legs. It has four shiny transparent wings with network of orange!colored veins. Its life cycle is ..bout jl7 years, most of which is spent os a larva or pupa underground. The loIcust lias long hind legs with thi kened thighs and narrow leathery wing covers. Beware “Friendly Enemy” 1 The original saying, ‘*f fear the [Greeks bearing gifts,” appears in Ver■gils The reference is to the siege of Troy. The Greeks beisieged tlie city of Troy without success. Finally they resorted to strat'egy, offering a huge wooden horse to [the Trojans as a gift. The horse was (taken into the city, and while the ' I Trojans slept the warriors, with 'which the horse was filled, came forth land opened the gates for their Greek icomrades. The conclusion Is that one [should fear an enemy most when htf 'iseems friendliest. “Penny” I* Unofficial ■ The term ‘ penny” has been in general use in this country since the i Revolutionary war, but it has never been the official designation of any coin minted in the United States. It ' is and has been a recognized coin of [ ' Great Britain and the coinage of Eng[land was used in this country for a I number of years after the Revolution, ( [ ami the use of the term became an established custom at that time and the ’ ■ name became applied to the cent os it I ,wns about the same value. The first , [cents actually minted under the Constitution appeared In 1793. Hopeless : The minister had been talking to [ ithe little son of a neighbor. “It grieves me very much, my young friend,” he remarked, “to hear you say that you pray for your motner and ’ not for your father. Now, tell me the < reason.” “What’s the use?” returned the boy. ‘“Mamma says that dad is beyond all > hope.' Get Set ' This thing of jumping around from one job to another may make you acquainted with n lot of scenery. But ’it will never make you acquainted with success. Stick with your job long enough to call It by its first uarne. -Grit -u
