THE STANDARD YARD.
That la l'«r la (irrnt Brltala and tha
lalted State*.
The yard Is U»e British and American
standard of length. I>own to 1S24 the
original standard of Britain, from
•which ours was copied, Was a rod,
which had l-een de|K>slted in the court
of exchequer, I.oudou, iu the time of
Queen Elizabeth. In those days all
measures Intended for general use
were taken to the court of exchequer
to Ik? examined by llio proper officer.
That official took the proposed meas
ure and placed it parallel with the
standard and If found correct placed
certain marks of Identification u|)on it.
By an act of parliament in 1824 the
old Elizabethan standard was super
seded by another, which had l»een con
structed under the directions of the
Royal society sixty-four years previ
ous. This net provided that “the
straight line of distance between the
centers of two points in the gold studs
In the brass rod now iu the custody of
the clerk of the house of commons
shall be the genuine standard of the
yard measure in Clrent Britain.” The
net further provided that the measure
ments of the rod must be made wheu
the temperature of the brass was at 02
degrees F.
’ The standard was destroyed by fire
in 1834, and the commission appointed
to replace it made the yard measure
now hi use. The new standard w’as de
posited In the house of parliament In
1836," and authenticated copies of It
are In the possession of our govern
ment officials at Washington.
THE DEAD SEA.
Work of th« *■** Diver* In Thl* Don-
©late West*,
^The awful desolation of tho Dead
sea, which lies nearly 1,300 feet below
the level of the Mediterranean, is bro
ken here and there by the salt divers,
whose work Is probably as ancient aa
the human race Itself.
From remotest antiquity the salt of
the Dead sea has been collected and
taken to the Jerusalem market, where
it is used for curing hides and tot do
mestic purposes. Dead sea water con
tains over 25 per cent of solid sub
stances, of which 7 per cent Is chloride
of sodium, or common salt
The Dead sea contains no living crea
ture. Sea fish put into Its waters speed
ily die. Not a single boat navigates its
strange waters, nor is there any sign
of life, save the isolated parties of suit
divers, who scrape aud slowly amass
their glistening heaps of crystal near
the mouth of the Jordan.
When a sufficient cargb ds made
ready a long string of camels crosses
the desert, and the salt Is loaded up
into panniers, or “shwerries,” and tak
en Into Jerusalem, where it finds a
ready market . s
Salt, ns is well known, has been used
as currency from time Immemorial,
Just as bricks of tea are used today in
central Asia, especially hi the border
land of China and Siberia.—Technical
World Magazine.

Ridge. Edmondson was released from
the federal prison only last fall after

stable at Cbapleau, Ontario, says: “I
caught a severe cold while bnnting a
burglar in the ioreat A swamp last fall.

dy, I tried it, and after using two sroa’.l
bottles, I was, completely cured.” This

ARTIFICIAL BALDNESS.
The Anclrnt and Strance Custom of
Shuvlnff the Head.
A historic::! luquiry Into the origin
of tho custom oi shaving tho head,
which Is practiced In several'countries.
would bo interesting.
It was uot until the fifth century that
in Europe* priests lK*gan to shave their
crowns. Tho Roman clergy then adopt
. ed tho circular method and shaved
that small round si>ot on the top of
the head which Is known as the ton-
sure. In Scotland, however, the monks
shaved the whole of the fore part of
the bead from ear to ear.
In the Andaman Islands every man
shaves his bead, or, rather, gets his
wife to shave it for him. Many other
orientals also get baldheaded.
As for the Chinaman, his method of
shaving is exactly opposed to that of
toe Roman monk. He shaves a!! but a
round patch, the hair of which grows
long and forms the pigtaU.
When the difficulty of shaving the
head Is 1)01*06 in mind the true strange
ness of the custom becomes doubly
apparent It la bard to sea the ad
vantage of it yet In one form oc an
other and at one time or other It baa
bsan practiced In nearly every country.
Grip Quickly Knocked Out.
* Some weeks ago during the severe
winter weather both my wife sfcd myself
contracted severe colds which speedily
developed into the worse kind of Is
grippe with all Its miserable symptoms,”
ssys J 8 Egleflton of Maple Landing,
Iowa. “Knees and joints aching, mat-
cleas sore, head stopped up, eyes and
nose running, with alternate spells of
chills and fever. We began using Cham
berlains’ Cough Remedy, aiding the same
with a double dose of Chamberlain’s
Htomsch and Liver Tablets, and by its
liberal use soon completely knocked out
the grip.” Sold by John M Klein.
