NUMBERING HOUSES 400JEARS OLD First Tried in Section of Paris in 1512 and Later in Other Large Cities.

"Speaking of Interesting things," said a guest at the Westcott hotel the other evening, 'Nothing surprised me more when I was in London this summer than to learn that this year makes the 400th anniversary of the numbering of houses." "It was in the year 1512," he continued, "that this idea struck an architect in Paris to have numbers painted on certain houses in a district of Paris. The idea did not find immediate favor and it was not until 1789 that the system became general. In Berlin about a decade later an eccentric method of numbering houses was adopted. They numbered them without any reference to streets. Thus a tenant's address would be described as merely, say, "1000 Berlin." London System. "The numbering of houses in London is of comparatively recent date. In the later Stuart times, says Macaulay, the houses were not numbered, and indeed there would have been little advantage in numbering them, for of the coachmen, chairmen, porters and errand boys in London a very small proportion could read. It was necessary to use marks which the most ignorant could Understand. The shops were therefore distinguished by painted or sculptured signs, which gave a very gay and grotesque aspect to the streets. "Similar measures were adopted for identification of private houses. In Lincoln's Inn Fields, for example, it seems to have been usual for the house to be distinguished by ornamentation on the gate posts. We find, for instance, a reference to the 'Pineapples' at a house where the ornamentation consisted of this fruit cut in stone. At night time other distinctions were necessary, such as 'over against the New Exchange in Bedford street at the sign of the" Peacock, where you will see at night two candles burning within one of the chambers and a lantern with a candle in it upon the balcony.' "These descriptions referred to houses in comparatively well defined spots, and the difficulty of locating the poorer residents was considerable, as duriifg the first part of the eighteenth century the names of many o fthe less important streets and places were continually changing to correspond with the change of ownership or of the signs that hung in the streets. An act was passed in 1752 to compel the residents to do away with hanging signs, which had become a dangerous obstruction, and fix them to the walls of the houses. This act, however, did not include the numbering of houses, which was secured three years later in 6 George III,, cap. 26. "The first instance known of a London street in which the houses were numbered is Prescott street, Goodman's Fields, but the practice did not spread far before the year 1764, when it received a great impetus, and it soon after became well established in London. "It may be interesting to add that there is still a strong objection on the part, of many householders to occupy a house numbered 13. The London Ccrunty Council has often been requested to allow another number to be substituted, though the request is not often granted. In one instance the proprietors of a nursing home urged that if the number were nnot altered many superstitious patients would be afraid to go to the home and the business would suffer in consequence. In this case the Council gave way and the house was numbered 12-A." Tickets for the Lyceum Festival, November 17th to 24th are now being delivered and seats reserved at the office of the Y. M. C. A.

SPUE THE GUNS OF REPUBLICANS Bull Moosers Decorate Village with Teddy Pictures and Desert the Place. SPARTANSBURG, Ind., Oct. 30. Nothing that has happened in this place for many years has caused so much amusement as the manner in which the residents spiked the guns of the Republican leaders of Randolph county last week. George B. Lockwood, of Muncie, and James E. Watson, former Sixth district congressman, were so peeved and chagrined that they would not speak at the dinner prepared in honor of their coming by the county central committee. Greensfork township, in which Spartansburg is located, has 190 voters, and all of them, excepting ten, are ardent Bull Moosers. When the Randolph county Republican central committee announced that Spartansburg would be honored by a visit of the automobile calvalcade with Watson and Lockwood as main attractions, its residents decided that they would treat the visitors with respect, but would also show that they were loyal to their principles. Village is Dead. The automobile party arrived in due season, but the Republicans found the city dead. Not a person could be seen on the streets. Every house was decorated with a Roosevelt picture, and on the principal corner of the village was a bull moose head and a bull moose target, imported from Lynn for the occasion. The Republicans proceeded to the hall where they had ordered a big dinner. The meal was there, but the ladies who served it did not appeal to the guests. Not that the ladies were not good looking, but each wore a big streamer with Bull Moose stamped on it. The decorations of the hall were not orthodox Republican either, for the walls were covered with lithographs of Roosevelt and Beveridge. The decorations evidently had their effect on the visitors. There were no speeches. And when the party tried to drum up a crowd after the meal, it found the village deserted and a dead one. But from behind every curtain smiling women and men watched the antics of the party. After the automobile cavalcade left the village, Bull Moosers held a celebration of their own. Willing to Help. Vice President Sherman desires to maintain order in the senate and frequently calls down the body In general terms without singling out any particular man. It often happens that when a dry and prosy speaker has the floor a group of senators will begin telling stories and make a great deal of confusion with their laughter. On one occasion a group was listening to Senator Taylor of Tennessee, and the mirth was rather uproarious. They paid no attention to the gavel of the rice president nor to the frowns of the speaker. Finally Sherman sent a note to the group which read. "If that fellow wlm thinks he Is making a speech is interfering with one of Bob Taylor's stories I shaH call aim to order." wu falogtoa 8tar.

ALL YEPRANKSTERS The Police Decree that Hallowe'en Must Be Prankless in Richmond. Hark ye, youthful pranksters, and take a bit of a tip prior to the low descending of the sun on ye Eve of All Hallows it may save ye trouble, merry gentlemen and sirs; it may i save ye cash bond or a night or two in ye city bastile if ye be not of man's estate! For upon a platform four-square the police department has come out flatfooted, declaring against the placing of soap on street car tracks and windows, ticktacks and pumpkins dropped revel-wise upon unsuspecting souls; abduction of gates and other movable property and such like merry quips and jests by way of the celebration of mystic Hallowe'en. Thursday's the day and October 31," i 1912 the date upon which pranksters , should take great care of their personal conduct. ; The police declare that every effort i will be used until after Hallowe en to prevent the soaping of car tracks, the destruction of property and the soaping of windows and the playing of . practical jokes at the expense and : danger of others. That the best results may be obtained several patrolmen will report in plain clothes. So it may be well to remember that other things besides the Hallowe'en goblin will get you ef-you-don't-watch-out! The Secret of Golf. The true secret of successful golf is accurate iron play. A man cannot be a really erst class player unless he is more or less a master of all manner of Iron clubs. Deadly accurate approaching will make up for many defects in wooden club play, and in consequence it is the iron clubs above any other with which a player should practice. 1 am not going to say that it is necessary for a player to be a complete master of every class of iron shot and to have Intimate knowledge of the correct way of playing them, but I will say that It is absolutely necessary for a player who is anxious to attain any great measure of success to have a good command of his iron clubs.

A WARNING TO MANY Some Interesting Facts Regarding Health Statistics Few people realize to what an extent their health depends upon the condition of their kidneys. The physician in nearly all cases of serious illness, makes a chemical analysis of the patient's urine. He knows that unless the kidneys are doing their work properly, the other organs cannot be brought back to health and strength. When the kidneys are neglected or abused in any way, serious results are Sure to follow. According to health statistics, Bright's disease, which is really an advanced form of kidney trouble, caused nearly ten thousand deaths in 1910. in the state of New York alcne. Therefore, it behooves us to pay more attention to the health of these most important organs. An ideal herbal compound that has had remarkable success as a kidney remedy is Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great Kidney, Liver and Bladder Remedy. The mild and healing influence of this preparation is soon realized. It stands the highest for its remarkable record of cures. If you feel that wour kidneys require attention, and wish a sample bottle, write to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghampton, New York. Mention this paper and they will gladly forward it to you absolutely free, by mail. Swamp-Root is sold by every druggist in bottles of two sizes 50c. and $1.00. ( A d v t - r t i s e in e n t )

FAITH OF THE FOREST. Curious Traits of One of the Savage Tribes of Siberia. Concerning one of the obscure races of northwestern Siberia a traveler writes: "A few of the trnits of these curious people mny prove of Interest as they show that environment is the strongest factor in determining character. Their Intense superstition is accounted for by innate fear cf all things they cannot understand. Their shyness, dislike of strangers and dread of their lamas and chiefs are again the result of superstition and seclusion Sadness and melancholia are stamped on their faces, as Is natural to a people who are in constant fear of the genii of the mountains, rivers and forest, whose whole time Is taken up with propitiating the gods lest evil befall them. "The Urlankhal Is a product of the forest as the Arab Is of the desert The one is the antithesis of the other. Environment has molded the character of each to his surroundings. The fearless believer in one God, the nomad of the sunlit desert compares strikingly with the superstitious inhabitants of dark, damp forests, fearsome of .evil spirits and cringing under their witch doctors. "All through life the forest dweller Is In fear of offending the deities, and at death his corpse Is carried out and placed on some lone hilltop, where the wild beasts are expected to devour It If the man has led a good life, but bad Urlankhal have not that doubtful honor bestowed upon them."

New Needs Demand New Parties

New and great human needs always have demanded new and great political parties. If you do not believe this, read American history. You will find there that great parties have come up and grown, that they have waxed and that they have waned. That is why there are Progressives today and a Progressive party. In time a yet more progressive party will replace this Progressive party. Always there are some men who think, some men who are on the side of civilization, some men who are on the side of the future and not of the past. The Progressive party is the party of the future, not that of the past. Oppose it if you like. Your choice is your privilege. But the world will move on just the same. Emerson Hough.

He escaped after six months, however, coming to the I'nited States and continuing his education in California. He has gone into vaudeville, playing over all the principal circuits, with the view of making enough money to return to Russia and return with his parents and sweetheart.
