Raiting on Lake Wawasee The following item is taken from last week's Wakarusa Tribune:

Capt. J. B. Moore -owner and operator of the steamer “Gazelle” and a force of men are engaged in a novel enterprise—that of rafting log# across Lake Wawasee. At Ogden’s Island the logs are wired into rafts about 50 or 60 logs being in each “punch.” They are then fastened to the stern of the Gazelle and towed to the “Sheepwash’” a distance of about 3 miles across the lake from

where they are taken by team tc Croniwell and shipped to handle fac

tories at Auburn. If the logs were haunled around the lake it would

necessitate a trip of over six miies by team the cost being many times greater than by the rafting proCens.

Destination of Soul e Shown by Odd Signs

The Gaures, an ancient African tribe, entombed the bodies of dead friends in tall towers instead of burying them in the earth. During the first three days after the body had been laid in the tower it was thought to be in danger of being carried away by the devil, and kinsmen kept watch to prevent him from tormenting the soul as it winged its way to the celestial regions.

On or before the fourth day the soul was in a place of torment or happiness, and the priests proceeded to prognosticate the future state of the deceased. The body was laid on its back, with the eyes turned toward heaven, and the vultures were permitted to feast upon it. The soul was supposed to have gone to bliss if the right eye was taken first, but it was an equally sure omen that the soul had gone to a place of punishment if the left eye was first devoured.

Another - mode of ascertaining the state of happiness or misery of a sou! was by the movements of a dog near the corpse. If the animal went close to it, then were the relatives convinced the soul was in a state of bliss, but if the dog could not be tempted to go near the body they despaired of their friend escaping everlasting torment.—Detroit News.

Whole World Alike When Love Is Young

“Love is much the same, the world over,” said Charles Young of the Peking Gazette.

Loa Sing, a pretty Chinese girl, found very much to her liking the dapper young Englishmen who worked in the banks and the counting houses along the Bund. Hence, one afternoon, she returned late for supper. “‘Where hast thou been, pearl of my bosom? asked her mother suavely.

“‘Merely walking in the park., replied Loa Sing, demurely., “*‘And with whom hast thou been walking, petal from a golden lotus leaf? .

“‘With no one,” replied the maiden, striving to hide the blush that suffused her yelvet cheek.

* ‘Then,” demanded her mother, ‘how is it that thou has brought home with thee a cane, instead of thy bamboo parasol? "—Los Angeles Times.

Famous Venetian

Marco Polo was born in Venice, 1254, and died there in 1324. He was ‘a celebrated Venetian traveler. At the age of seventeen he started traveling with his father and uncle. Mar.co found favor with the emperor of China and was retained in public service. Ile was employed in important missions in various parts of the empire. With his father and uncle he ‘left China in 1292 and after many ad‘ventures reached Venice in 1295. In 1298 he was taken prisoner in the batttle of Curzola between the Venetians ‘and the Genoese. He was detained .at Genoa for a year. Here he dedi.cated in French to a fellow captive, ‘Rusticiano of Pisa, an account of his adventures, which ultimately obtained 82 wide popularity, inasmuch as the ‘Polos were the first European travel.ers in China.

t Masculine Preferred - If ever it was deemed a handicap to have been born a girl, that can no ‘longer be the attitude of mird of ‘any one who sees how wide open to swomen are all the doors of opportunity. But a Portland (Maine) boy must still be of the opinion that he ‘was in luck to have been born of the masculine gender. Recently in Sunday school the subject of regeneration was being discussed. When told that it meant to be borm again, he _nade it clear that he was not In favor of it. When asked his reason, he said: ~ “How do I know that if I was to ‘be born again I wouldn’t be a girl?’

Reference Only to Age

The words “senior” and ‘“‘junior” when used after names refer to age, not relationship. John Smith, Jr.. may be the son of John Smith, Sr., or he may be the grandson, or he may not be related to him at all. Webster's International dictionary defines “senio " as, “Elder; often used after a personal name to indicate the older of two bearing lit.” “Junior” means younger, and when used after a personal name indicates the younger of two bearing it. Such a form as “John Smith II” would refer only to persons in the same lineage.

Latest in New Theories

A teacher had given a number of - examinations. These were some of -the answers she found:

“In case of drowning, put on dry clothes as quickly as possible and yell for help.” '

“When chickens get old, their teeth fall out. so they eat stones, and the stones fall into the holes left by the old -teeth and make the new teeth.”

“A molar is what my daddy is in the factory.”

Actions Beyond Recall Just as a stone sends its ever-widen-ing circles across a pool into which it has been dropped, so every act of yours is making ripples on the surface of time, ripples that spread far beyond your knowledge.—Grit. No Shackles, Please ‘The most important thing is not to keep love, but to have it.—Woman's Home Comp:nion.

Art Treasures Found = ' Under Italian Cities . Almost any Italian public improve‘ment or building construction which involves excavation is likely to turn up archeological curiosities, if not treasures. This is particularly true of anclent centers, like Rome or Naples, where one community lives on top of what was the site of an earlier community. Beautiful vases were turned up by workmen when Rome’s stately Via Veneto was repaved receitly, A teamster engaged in carting away earth for a port improvement at Ancona found a ecollection of valuable ‘gold coins. Heavy rains in recent 'months brought to light a magnificent - Roman mosaic at Girgenti, near Na.ples. The mosaic was originaliy discovered in 1899, but was covered up "‘to avoid spoiling the street.” It was forgotten until the rain revealed it as a rare annd beautiful work -of art. It has now been lifted and transported to the archeological museum at Naples. The mosaic consists of a central square T feet. 7 inches by 835 feet 10 inches. decorated with geometrical designs, rosettes, stars and “vividly tinted yellm\'§. reds and blues. The mosaic weighs four tons and measures 260 square feet. :

Wise Man Said, First ' Be Sure You're Right . Before we pride ourselves upon that courage which makes us speak rather .than to preserve that silence which we ‘are so often advised is golden, let us be very sure that our convictions are . worthy of the courage of which we boast. In the first place, are they convictions or merely slogan expressions which we have encouraged ourselves to regard as beliefs? ‘Have we thought ‘about them profoundly? Have we taken the trouble of Invesjigating the ‘roots from which they spring? Have ~we made them part of us through ob_servation, experience and a prayerful ‘desire to know what is truth and thereafter to be loyal and vigorous in our .sSupport of it? Have we any reason {to be sure we are right before we ,Scream out our confidence upon the “housetops? Perhaps, a little more hu‘mility as regards one's convictions might not be so bad after all. To be modest and reserved at tines requires, +perhaps, even a higher grade of courrage than to strut about and shout-and -proclaim ourselves to be the heroes of ‘the wprld.—Elizabeth Marbury in Delineator. ’

The Dogmatic Martyr

When I believe something, 1 never ‘attribute the least dogmatic siznifi‘cance to my belief. That which I call !my faith is merely an indication that for me, with my own personal apti‘tudes, experiences and mentality;, a ycertain particular explanation seenis 'to dispose most plausibly of a certain «particular phenomenon. It is by no ‘means an indication that I should be prepared to face death for my bediefs, or in other words, to prove that ymy individual experiences have a universal validity and my individual ways ‘of thinking should be shared by every ‘one. Martyrdom always shows the intensity of our beliefs, never their Justice. We cannot prevail upon oth.ers to share our faith. At the very ,best we can only try to convince them of our willingness to be mar‘tyred.—Arthur Schnitzler, in Vanity JFair, /

Eskimo Lamps

' It is believed that the Eskimo lamp .was invented -before its possessors ;emigrated from their original honie, which was probubly farther south ,and near the sea coast. But the Sform of the lamp becomes more spe“cialized the higher the latitude is. .The lamps. of southern Alaska have a wick edge of 2 inches, while those ;0f Point Barrow and northern Greocnland have wick edges of 17 to 34 finches.‘ The lamp is employed for .melting snow and ice to obtain drink. ;lng water, warming, drying sking and in the arts. It is also a social 'factor and the sign of the family unit, each head of the family having his lamp. : ;

Punchiboard Swindle Worked

A clever swindle is said to have been worked on a few barbecue stands in nearby cities by a “salesman” and his confederate who scld a trick punchboard. ; The game which is a variation of the old “fast check” swindle is one in which a clever salesman sells the stand proprietor a punchboard which carries a capital prize of $2O for punching out a certain number. This board was old to the dealer at from 75 eentz to $5.00 according to whz{t the salesman thought he could get. As soon as the board was installed, ;.another man entered and began to play it. After spending about a dollar he is said to have pretended vexEatiou and to have announced that he would squander another dollar on the board. Then promptly punching out the $2O capital prize he took the dealer’s money and departed. The game is said to have been work ed on secveral dealers who-are said to be without legal recourse even if the gyppers are caught, because punchhoards are iliegal.
