Redwood Log “Gold Mine” Lumber valued at $3,000 and 30 circular dining-table tops, each worth $75, were cut from a redwood log found partly barfed In the sand by an Oregon man, who declared that the discovery wae almost as good as a gold mine. Two daytt work with team and scraper were required to unearth the huge log, which was 8 feet In diameter and 50 feet long. According to the rings. It was 557 years old and had lain In the same place for many years before anyone had thought it worth the trouble to remove It—Popular Mechanics Magazine. No Greeting for Women There is not the American thrill of hubby’s homecoming for the wife of the unsmiling and inscrutable Arab. The men folks return from their sojourns with sober, nearly sad faces, kiss brothers and fathers and rualo friends on the cheek and with never a look at their women, solemnly stalk out of the station. There Is scarcely a peal of laughter, or expression of Joy at reunion, and never a smile on the face of the Arabs one meets along the 300 miles of railway In Morocco. Mistaken Kindness Probably nothing is more annoying to a pigeon fancier that the well-in-tentioned person's act of kindness In locking up a carrier pigeon that lias “fallen by the wayside.” Usually the bird has merely descended to rest after a long flight and will continue on its destination if released. ‘lt Is the tendency of most persons, however, to imprison the bird until the .owner claims It. Pigeons racing over long distances frequently have been held up for days, fanciers say. Business Brisk “Pawnbroker,” remarked the Idler, “I have often wondered why you have nothing in your windows but guilais and revolvers. Do you ever sell any of-these articles?” • "Oh, yes, good sir,” responded the genial pawnbroker. “Rvery now and then somebody buys a guitar, and arefty soon some other member of ids family purchases a revolver.” —Louisville Courier-Journal. Many Seniors Unkissed Asa result of a questionnaire sent to a number of university seniors it has been found that 60 were willing to marry for money, 57 preferred bachelorhood and 86 admitted never (laving been kissed.

Priestly Heroes Died Victims of Massacre Fifty-one priests gave rheir lives ia their efforts to Christianize the Pueblo Indians of New Mexico during the period from 1542 to MOO, according to records recently unearthed by the Franciscan Fathers of the. Southwest. The result of the research contrasts the religious brother with the proud conquistador who tnvadod New Mexico during the same period, the one for the prize of mythical gold and gems, the other for human souls. The history of the CUrUtlanissatton of the Indians shows there were waves of persecution of the priests at intervals of 40 to 50 years throughout nearly two centuries. They reached their climax in 1680, when the Pueblos rose In rebellion against the tyranny of the Spanish rule, and killed nearly every white man in New Mexico. By a pre* arranged plot, 31 missionaries in a score of pueblos, many of tiiem 400 or more miles apart, were slain in one dtut. v Five of the religlotiF brothers were killed In another massacre in a lesser uprising on June 4, 1696. The first to lose his life was Father Juan de Padilla, who was kilted at Gran Qulvera November 20, 1542. In the same year two other priests were killed, one at Tiguex and the other at Pecos. The three padres had remained behind among the savages after the first of the conquistadores had despaired of finding the mythical wealth of the Indians, and had returned to Mexico. —New York World. Religious Beliefs of Indians Queer Mixture At Ysleta, In southwest Texas, are the survivors of a tribe of Indians, perhaps the oldest tribe in the Southwest, whose religion is suid to be a mixture of pagan rites and the formalism of the Roman church. Missionaries have been unable to eliminate the paganism and some of it has beep left to continue as the only survival of really primitive worship on the Rio Grande, says the Baltimore Sun. A curious story, also of southwest Texas, was published a short time ago about the Seminole negroes who live near Brackettvillp and who have a strange religion. For the Setuinoles, Christmas, instead of Faster, is the end of Lent. The Semlnoles have religious feasts at which pork is the only forbidden meat and their sacramental drink Is tea. The religion is a strange blend of teachings from many sources with traces that go hack to Africa and the earliest red men on tills continent.

Etruria in History In ancient geography Etruria was a division of Italy, north and west of the Tiber and west of the Apennine mountains, and including the valley of the Arno. Modern Tuscany and the nqrthern finjf of the prpvince pf Roms cover about the same territory today. Etruria proper contained a eonfederntlon of twelve cities, each of which was Independent. The people of Etruria, called Etruscans, were the most advanced of any in Italy before the rise of Rome. They had a highly developed political organization. They were at the height of their power about 500 p. C., apd were the allies of Cartilage. With, the rise of Roms came a struggle in which the Etruscans were worsted, becoming virtually tributary in 300 B. C., to the more powerful Roman state.—-Exchange. Hit Ambition “You say you want a whole roast chicken?” asked the- waiter. “Yes,” snapped the weary-looking man at the table. ‘‘l said a whole one —w-h-o-l-e whole one.” "Are there to be otherg qt JWV table?’ 1 inquired the waiter, ‘•No," shouted the man, “there are not! For once lam going to carve up a chicken and serve myself the parts I like. If I just ordered chicken you’d serve me pieces of the back, a wing ~or the neck, and thot’s just the kind of chicken I enjoy at home.” € No Counties in Louisiana ■ Soon after the territory tyhicfi is now the state of Louisiana came into the possession of the United States it was divided into 12 counties. These districts, which were purely arbitrary, • proved unsatisfactory from the standpoint of civil government. Therefore, in 1807 the territory was redivided. This time the old Spanish.parishes qr ecclesiastical districts were used as a basis for the division. Hence the name parish Instead of county.—Exchange.

“Hummer” Friend of Farmer The-male ruby-throat does not “do” as handsome as he looks, dfrites a correspondent. After the courtship season and the building of the lichenfelted cup of a nest, the hummer husband Is much more than likely to desert his mate, who Is left alone to hatch the eggs and to rear the young. The hummers earn their right to live and not alone through their display of beauty. Their food consists largely of minute Injurious Insects. High Windt on Peak “Half a century ago a group of hardy observers of the Weather spent their winters on Mount Washington. They lived in a low. stone house, chained to the solid rock, says a writer In the American MagaxtncTbey foumrthar the wind on the peak often blew 150 miles an hour. On one occasion It romped across the summit at the rate of 186 miles an hour; three or four times as fast as an express train.

Early Peoples Knew of Possibilities of Iron The peoples of the Near East were among the earliest manufacturers of iron, according to Dr. J. Newton Friend in an address before the members of the Royal institution, London. In 1300 li. C. the Hittites were using iron weapons in their numerous wars, and among the treasures of early history preserved to posterity Is a letter thought to have been addressed to Raineses II of Egypt front tile Hlttlte king, saying that he Is sending with the comnrvnieution an iron dagger. The Romans were skilled metallur gists with considerable knowledge of how to handle iron ores. Virgil’s Aeneid, written around 40 B. C., contains an account of a smithy in full blast, and Pliny in his “Natural History,” which was brought out In 77 A. I>,, ahows an equal familiarity with the working of the metnl. An iron ring recently unearthed from a Roman site was evidently made by soldering together the ends of a bent strip of Iron with some sort of copper alloy. Cast iron, said Doctor Friend, was first known in Sussex in 1350 and soon became fairly common.

Vanishing Heath Hen Was Farmer’s Friend The New England heath hen is now in the last stages of extinction, the Louisville Courier-Journal reports. The farmer has found that he not only has lost a source of food for Ills tuble, but a protector of his crops. Like the western prairie chicken, to which It is closely filled, and the “Bob White” of the Central West, the heath hen Is a great enemy of Insect pests. But Os the thousands that once inhabited field and woods patch, less than 100 are alive today, and these are. found only on the Island of Martha’s Vineyard. ~ The Middle West lost a prolific food supply when the passenger pigeons died off. But the wild pigeon was otherwise of little economic value. It was largely a grain eater, though beech mast apd weed seeds also formed its food. _ The heath hen, however, Is as valuable as the quail to farmers. Ornithologists and conservationists have pointed this out. Hence efforts are being made to save the bird from extinction and, if possible to bring it back to its former numbers.
