"Grande Monarque" would seem to j have paid but littl?- attention to her. So the marquise de Montespan determined to win him by the use of magic, in which she was a belever. She paid "witches" to help her. bought ''love powders," which she secretl. dropped into the king's wine, and re-i sorted to many other foolish means. | Then, in 1666, she had the "black mass" said over her, a degrading and: somewhat horrible ceremony which alleged priests of magic had invented. Xo doubt the marquise thought that this mass was .successful, for the next year she became mistres of the king. Louis, the lover of many women,' came under the complete subjection! ^ ' r. i of the marquise. She dabbled in statecraft, obtained high honors for her favorites, and generally comported herself as king's mistresses have been wont to do in all ages. She coupled an imperious temper with her beauty, and no doubt Louis spent many a bad quarter hour in her company. especially as the marquise and his queen. Maria Theresa, were at sword's point. De Montespan became the mother of several children. She selected Madam Scarron, afterward the Marquise de Maintenon, to direct their education. This threw Louis into the company of De Maintenon, and it soon became apparent that his love was waverng. When De Motespa found her power dwindling she resorted to magic and it may be believed that she tried every conceivable means to maintain her hold on Louis. "Love powders" again came into play and one of these made the king so ill that she was suspected of trying to poison him. This CLERK'S SALE. State of South Carolina.

Maria Theresa was of a devout character, a simple, unpretentious woman, who never could cope with the marquise. But her new hopes were destined to be dis- : appointed. When De Montespan died in 1707 < Louis forbade her children by him to wear mourning, proving once more his < callous heart. There were seven of J i these children, all legitimatized, and ] it was no part of the king's plan that i they should sorrow for a woman who j had been fnerely their mother. ^ ENGLISH ARCHERS LOSE HOME. J < There is a Roval Toxophilite So ciety in England, which has had it> headquarters in Regent's Park for many years. Now. however, the society has to move, and is concerned as ( to the future resting place of the wonderful treasury of archery relics now f in Archers' Hall. < One bow and set of arrows are more 1 than 4.000 years old. These were , < taken from the tombs at Sakwarah, in , Egypt, and are believed to have been s in use about 2600 B.C. 1 Another bow was given to the society by Mahomet Effendi, "embassy from the Sublime Porte," in 1704. when he came to England for the j first time, bringing his bow and ar- j rows with him. When this Turkish official saw the ground at Regent's Park he said it was much too small, so he went into a street outside the park and shot his arrows into a field. , The distance was measured and found to be a quarter of a mile. Mahmoud was so pleased with this shot that he . presented his bow and arrows to the society. The bow is beautifully , carved and is of immense strength. REAL GENIUSES NOT -QUEER.M 1 _____ i The legend that Meredith lived on 1 the contents of a sack of oatmeal 1 while he wrote his masterpieces is 1 pure myth, writes St. John Ervirie in 1 the Manchester (Eng.) Guardian. He ^ was particularly addicted to the pleas- 1 ures of the table and could not have 1 written his books on a diet of oat- ' meal. His letters are full of refer- 1 ences to food and wine and, like Dr. Johnson, he contemplated writing a cookery book.

BOON TO MANKIND. 1 Though less spectacular, the science pf canning was a discovery only equaled in importance by such inven:ions as the telephone, the wireless md the ariplane. When we stop to ealize that food, shelter and clothing ire man's most Vital needs, and what 1 large proportion of our food is preserved for us today in canned form, we 1 setter understand the full significance < if this important discovery. Pickling or drying were the only methods of preserving foods that were known up until about a century ago. [n 1795 the necessities of war promptid the French government to offer a ! :e\vard of 12,000 francs for a better I ! method of food preservation. The I prize was awarded to^Xicholas Appert. 1 md his method stands today as the :eal basis of our present process of canning?namely, hermetic sealing md sterilization by heat. This discovery has added immeasur- 1 ibly to the wealth of the world, be?ause it has meant that at times of harvest the surplus crops, which it s impossible to get to market before hey spoil, have not had to go to vaste, but have been preserved for use at other periods of the year when Mature is producing less and when, but Tor the science of canning, we would lave to subsist on much less attrac;ive fare.

In effect, it "makes summer last all the year 'round," and in midwinter brings us the crops of midsummer. And canning also eliminates space or sectionalism, for those of us who live in the interior may still enjoy oysters, crabs, lobsters and other sea foods whenever we wish; and those of us who live in the eastern States may nevertheless have access to the delicious fruit crops of California and Hawaii.
