Schoenbrunn is significant as the first settlement in the state. But this settlement, made in 1772, was not permanent. Marietta being the first permanent set tlement. Schoenbrunn has been re built, the buildings being constructed of logs on their original sites, follow ing the style of the old ones as closely as possible. The rebuilding was done by the State Historical society and the citizens of New Philadelphia. Gnadenhutten. sevhn miles south of Schoenbrunn, stands out in Ohio’s history as the scene of the massacjre of the Christian Indians, a massacre perhaps unequaled in the history of the Indian wars for Its cold-blooded butchery. The massacre occurred on March 8. 1782. Fort Laurens is said to have been the. first fort built by Americans with in the present boundaries of what is now’ the state of Ohio. General McIn tosh erected the fort In 1799, on the west bank of the Tuscarawas “below Sandy creek, about a mile from the present town of Bolivar. It was ‘ named in honor of Henry Laurens, who was president of congress during 1777 and 1778. 4 the sweet,' pungent odor of the bay- berry candle, as compared to the smok ing beefsteak variety given off by the tallow ones. We have never had the pleasure of smelling or seeing one burn, but from all reports their “starry gleam” and their “light, greenish- brown" hue was the final argument in favor of the bayberry. Eayberries, small and silvery-gray, grew In thick clusters on low bushes found along the seaboard. It re quired no little patience to gather them, for It took a large quantity for a batch of candles, and an much skill to make them, since the fat had to.be boiled and skimmed to Just the'right light-green half transparency. The result was worth It and more. And when the candles were finished they w’ere put away to await the choice occasion, nothing less than a wedding, a christening or a funeral, or perhaps a reunion of some of the members of the family who came <fver on a later boat, when they burned clear and bright on the family board. As popular as the candles were, they were a luxury, the old oil lamps doing simple and dally service. In 3634 the candles sold for the then cqp- sidered highly extravagant sum of 4 pence.—Chicago Post. -V : -V C' “Flint-Snapping” Oldest of English Industries? Huge pits of varying dimensions found jin Suffolkshire, England, are said to be flint pits, some of them thousands of years old. Only one pit is now in active operation, a visitor writes: “The shaft of the pit de scended by stages to a depth of some 30 feet. Not a single mechanical con trivance is used for working the pit. Working hours are calculated by the number of candle ends burnt. As far as I could see. the methods^of work ing the pit and trimming—or ‘knap ping’—the stone were the same as they must have been in prehistoric times, when Brandon provided Eng land's first warriors with their spear heads. I have since discovered that the successive generations of one Brandon family, called Snare, have handed down the traditional craft of flint-knapping for at least 900 years.” To Discourage "Tippling”? ' Mugs with a frog model affixed to the bottom on the inside, popularly known as frog mugs, were turned out at the pottery works at Leeds, Sun derland and Nottingham, beginning about 1800. They were made at other , English potteries also. The purpose of the frog is a matter of speculation. It might just have been a popular nov elty. According to another theory, it might have been instigated by pro hibition agitation current even as far hack as the early Nineteenth century, the idea being to scare the tippler half out of his wits into more temperate ways with the frog deception when he had drunk half of the contents.—Chi cago Tost. Hypocrites Unable to « Correct Their Failing What hyprocrisy is, has been gen erally understood ever since St. Luke identified it as a regrettable trait of the Pharisees. Why it persists, why It continues in the news, has now been looked Into by the science of physi ology. Prof. Walter Bradford Cannon of Boston, who made important re searches into bodily changes in pain, fear and rage, found that hypocrites cannot help their failing, the New York Times reports. It Is a physical disability. In the gray matter at the side of the third ventricle at the base of the brain, and a part connected with the origin of the nerve of vision, the mid-brain region, where nerves of sensation assemble, there is a defect. Experiments on animals showed that this thalamic region co-ordinates emo tional reactions, and anything wrong with It brings disharmony between it and the Intellect or higher brain. The underdevelopment, or fault, causes the human subject to laugh when he does not feel joy, weep when he is not grieving, or assume a char acter not real. "Unbreakable” Doll. The editor of Playthings says that all dolls of domestic manufacture are today made of an unbreakable compo sition which is entirely separate and distinct from the bisque dolls which are still imported, although to a very much lesser extent. Into this country. This composition ha^wood flour, corn starch and glue as its principal ingre dients. The composition is placed in molds which are subjected to heat, and in this fashion the doll head, body, arm, leg or other part Is formed. It is then dipped in a special flesh en amel. with the final finish of lacquer enamel being applied through an air brush. Always Polite Some English judges have a repu tation for courtesy, and it has been said of Ix>rd Justice Bankes that he could make a prisoner feel It was a pleasure to be sentenced by him. But few judges would carry courtesy quite so far as Judge Graham, who once omitted a name when a batch of sixteen prisoners was sentenced to death at the Old Bailey. Informed of this, he had the unfortunate man re called and addressed him thus: “John Robbins. I find that I have accidentally omitted your name In my list of prisoners doomed to execution. It was quite accidental, L assure you, and I ask your pardon for ray mis take. 1 am very sorry, and can only add that you will be hanged with the rest Thank you.” Hawk. Used ia Sport It was the counterpart of our dock hawk that furnished rojri! sport In the Middle ages. The falconers of Eu rope dividpd birds employed in this sport into classes, those of falcony and those of hawking, the latter class con taining "ignoble” birds such as our goshawk and sparrow hawk and oth ers of their kin, which dart upon their quarry by a side glance. The true falcons were called “noble” birds be cause they would soar to unseen heights and drop from a perpendicular like a thunderbolt on a selected vic tim. In suclj a manner does the duck hawk hunt. Woe’ to the swift-flying duck or teal when once this marauder marks him for his dinner. Holm*.' Per.oD.lity Oliver Wendell Holmes’ personal as pect was classified as extraordinary and keenly delightful. He had what Ju lian Hawthorne calls a "funny face.** “It was round,” he says, ‘‘wjthfright little eyes and a rather large mouth underlying an upper lip of consider able length. The nose was amiable but not distinguished; a very attrac tive visage; a sally of kindly wit seemed always about to come from it, and this expectation was constantly gratifled. Holmes seemed uniformly in a merry humor—enjoying the world and mankind, and prompt to make It more agreeable to his fellows . . . an immortal comedy spirit possessed him.” "Hurrah for the Navy!” Ability, countge and patriotism are only the groundwork for the making of a sailor. The work of nearly ev ery man on a modern warship is that of a skilled specialist. As for officers —well, John Paul Jones’ definition of 1779 still holds true: “It is by no means enough that an officer of the navy should be a capable mariner. He must be that, of course, but also a great debt more. He should be, as well, a gentleman of liberal education, refined manners, punctilious courtesy and the nicest sense of personal honor." N Advertise is The Heopie-oentinel Roman Sonata Romulus was the first to organize a senate in Rome> He selected 100 patricians for his advisers. (The lit eral meaning of senatus Is a council of old men, so called because It was an assembly composed of the beads of families.) Under the republic of Rome the senate was composed of 300 patricians, plebeians and high officials. Julius Caesar raised the number of the senators to 900. Augustus reduced it to 600. Ultimately nearly all the senators were elected by vote of the people. Senators held office for life, unless removed because of dishonor; but the office was not hereditary. Ancient "Dictaphone” The term "Ear of Dionysius’’ refers to the second of the “latomlae,” or quarries of Syracuse used as prisons. The Athenians were confined therein, and subjected to the torments of hun ger, filth and foul air. Capt. William Henry Smyth (1842) describes this cavern, and says amidst Its many grottoes Is one resembling the tym panum of the human ear, which Is remarkable for its echoes. It Is 64 feet high, varies from 17 to 35 feet In breadth, and is 187 feet long. It Is said that Dionysius, the tyrant, had it constructed mo that Its.guards man might orerheas the conversation of the prisonsrs. , For Those Who Want Hot Water When They Want It This Red Crown 1 v Electric Water Heater Is Just the Jhing.
