The 8uccaneers. Originally bueO: ws re Peaceful English. French ! Lutch sezters in the Spanish West Indies. and they re ceived their nanme on %c-ount of their custom of dryIng their mieat, in the In dian fashion. ou a buccxan. or hurdle. The Spaninrds resented strongly the intrusion of these foreigners and made many attempts to oust them, but the buccaneers were a hardy set of men and crack shots with the musket. so they successfully resisted all the Span iards' attacks and obstinately remained in the islands. What it was that cause ed the buccaneers to abandon their comparatively peaceful mode of living and take to, piracy !t is hard to say. Possibly the constant harrying to which they were subjected by the Spaniards prompted them to retaliale; but, whatever the reason, their depre dations soon rendered the passage of the Caribbean sea an undertaking of extreme danger to merchantmen. and the word buccaneer has come down as a synonym for robbery, murder and all the vices. Goethe's Birthday. In August. ISIS, Goethe went to Carlsbad for the cure and placed him self under the care of Dr. Rehbein. One morning when he rose he request ed Charles, his domestic, to place a bottle of red wine and a glass in each of the two windows in the room. en the poet walked round and round the apartment, stopping at each window to drink a glass of wine. When be had nearly emptied the bot tles the doctor arrived. "Ah," said Goethe. "you are come. Do you know it Is my birthdayy' "No," said the doctor. "it is not your birthday. It falls tomorrow." Only, the production of the almanac could convince Goethe that he was a day out in his reckoning. When he discovered his mistake he gave vent to a strong expression and, after a long pause. turning to the doctor, said, "Then I have got drunk for nothing." Beware of Cousins. Cousins are not as simple as they seem. The very fact of being a cousin or having a cousin is complioated. The laissez faire of cousinship is both elud ing and deluding. Cousins will be cous ins even if you did not choose them. They can borrow money from you, visit you without being asked, tell peo- 9 ple they belong to your family, contest t your will, even fall in love with you, and a cousin once removed is twice as apt to. Never completely trust a cousin; never depend on his not doing any of these things; never take him t for granted. The "cousinly kiss" may or may not mean what it means, and 9 cousins always do kiss. It's part of I being cousins. Not that cousins need necessarily prove perilous. Once in a blue moon d they invite you to Europe or leave you money, but that almost takes an aunt C or uncle.-Atlantic. U Wear Slippers n the House. I In England it Is the custom not only a for grown persons, but also for chil- c dren, to wear slippers in the house. P English children as well as grownuPs a wear shoes as we in America wear ~ rubbers, only out of doors. This is not only a more comfortable custom with regard to footwvear than ours, but It is also more healthful The streets and sidewalks and even the yards are t dusty. This dust, full of germs as it Is, should not be tracked all over the 3 house. We would do well in the in terests of preventive medicine to pro- t vide slippers for our children .and toC insist upon the wearing of them inC the house. It is less trouble to change 1 from shoes to slippers, even three orC tour times a day, than lt is to cure an illness the germ of which may have I been brought into the nursery on the C soles of the 'children's shoes.-Home t Progress._ _ _ _ The Herb of Ferocity.I If you have any reason to suspect I that you are too mild mannered, too 1 gentle for this strenuous age, eat cat mint. Miss F. A. Bardswell in her book "The Herb Garden" says cat-t mint, one of the ten varieties of mint, Is known as the herb of ferocity be cause of the ferocious disposition it Imparts. "The herb when chewed," says Miss Bardswell, "Is said to make the most gentle person fierce and quar. relsome.

Al though he pushed with all his might. be couldn't open it. Chagrined, he step ped back, and the big man stepped up. Noticing the look of humiliation on the face of the little fellow, the big man said: "I've got a sore wrist. Come on; let's see if we both can't open it."
