No country will acknowledge that its shores are the birthplace of the "flu'' fiend, and the following are a few of the names given this unowned disease. In Russia it is called Siberian fever and in Siberia Chinese fever. The people of Braiii know it by the nam of polka fever, or camporina. "la grippe" is tho term generally in use in France; also "la coquette" find Span ish catarrh. Germans define it as "schafkrank belt" (sheep's disease). "Malattia te desca" (Gorman sickness) Is the epithet in use ln Italy, while Spaniards name it "Influencla rttsa" and "trtncaso" (a blow with a bar). Very apt is the Swedish deflnltion "snufsjuka" and "snuff fever." Onr own description influenza was taken from the eighteenth century Ital ian writers, who spoke of "una influ enza dl freddo" (influence of cold). Our own physicians mistook the de scription for the name of the disease itself; hence ifcfluenx. London An swers,. Contentmsnt.

Spurgeon's recipe for a contented heart was never to chew pills, but to swallow tho disagreeable and have done with it Darwin's comfort was that he had never consciously done anything to gain applause, and Jeffer son never ceased affirming his belief in the satisfying power of common daylight, common pleasures and all the common relations of life.

Climate and Sleep. Climate has something to do with the amount of sleep required by a man. In India, for instance, sleep overtakes people at the most unexpect ed moments. Speaking at a dinner given in his honor at Simla when he gave up the post of finance member of the council. Sir Guy Fleetwood Wilson recalled his first budget statement be fore the council. "The day was ab normally hot and close, even for Cal cutta in summer time. Partly owing to the heat, but partly no doubt owing to the wearisome effect of my first at tempt at oratory, one by one every sin gle member present went to sleep, and It is 'the simple truth that after awhile I actually fell asleep myself in the course of the delivery of my state ment" This surpasses the feat of the late Duke of Devonshire, who paused In the middle of his maiden speech in parliament to yawn.

He likes to be regarded as a man of exceptional timidity. Some years ago M. France visited Argentina on a lecturing tour, and shortly before bit departure he said to a journalist who bad expressed his willingness to bdat the lecturer's services: "I want you to work up a reputation for me before I get out there. I don't know that I am particularly timid, but 1 should like to lie thought so. A timid man cm do anything. If.he is silent when be ought to speak people say. 'How charming! He's so timid.' And if be speaks when he should be silent they set that down to nervousness. A timid man can dare so much with sweet impunity. Please tell your com patriots that I am very timid." Boa ton Transcript Will Anderson, colored, was tried In Police court yesterday on charges of highway robbery and, probable cause being found, was bound over to the next term of Su perior court for the trial of criminal casts under a bond of $2,000. In an assault case against him, a nol prosse with leave was taken. According to the testimony of Lot tie Baird, colored, she was returning from her work to her home, 4 8 Curve street, Wednesday evening, when she noticed a man following her. She tried to dodge this man and ran into Anderson, who, she swore, grabbed her and beat her and then threatened to kill her, il she did not give him a bag she was carrying, tn order to save her life, she says, she gave him the bag, in which there waa a purse containing about J2.30. AH this time she was screaming and yell ing murder, she says. Soon her hus band came, but Anderson, seeing him coming, ran. The husband gave chase. with several other men and boys and they caught Anderson in a yard on Hunt Hill, where the puree and beg were found on him. The husband went on the stan 1 and corroborated that part of the testi mony given by his wife ln regard to j him. Anderson took the stand ln his! own behalf and said that he was walking down Beaumont afreet, where the robbery is alleged to nave taken place, when a man ran up to him and shoved a hag in his hand, saying that It contained whiskey and told hint to run, which he did. Ho denied that he ever saw the womanJ or that he assaulted her In any way. He says that he Is 25 years of -xge and was born ln Georgia, but has been living In Tennessee for some- ! time.

One of the curious facts brought to light by the scientists who are fond of trying to solve the mystery of sleep is that when one Is fast asleep some part of hit brain or sevei.il parts of It may st the same time be awake. A man may walk, talk, sing or solve mathematical problems and yet at the same time be safely ln the land of nod. Another carious fact about sleep Is that the farther the part of the body is away from the brain the leea sound ly It sleeps. A touch on the toe will awaken one mucb more readily than a touch on the shoulder. 1 -2 Price Clean up Sale Now Going On These are bargains of a life time and this is an op portunity that you can ill afford to overlook.
