CHARM OF HOUSE OF LORDS'
Upper Chamber of th® British Parlia- f
ment Well Worth a Visit From
the Traveler.
As the ordinary stranger takes his I
seat In the gallery and surveys the j
house of lords, he sees much to charm
his eye, to kindle his Imagination, and ,
even to stimulate his sense of rever- 1
ence, writes a correspondent of the !
London Times. He feels humbled, if i
not Intimidated by the almost tviigi- j
ous solemness of the place. It Is.
gloving In gold and colors. All the j
glory of the "tiger moth's deep da- j
masked wings" gleams in Its splen-1
did decorations. Yet there Is nothing j
gorgeous in the scene. The subdued ;
light of a cathedral—"dim and yel
low," as Shelley found It in Milan—
prevails, transforming things that
might otherwise strike upon the
senses as garish into a delight to the
eye, and nn Inspiration to the mind.
Everything heightens the Impression
that one is In the beautiful chapel of
an ancient cathedral rather than In
a modern legislative chamber.
The lofty stained-glass windows
have blue and crimson figures of the
kings and queens of England. Mcst
of them were worldly minded men and
women, but like saints they look In
their antique garments, ;nd the seem
ing of rapt meditation ptiid ecstatic
introspection on their f. *>s. Between |
the windows are pede ;ls on which I
stand large bronze statues of knights
In armor, grave and stern of aspect. |
leaning on their naked swords and
lances. They recall times when the
battle of principles was fonght not j
with words of subtle-minded and |
ready-tongued men In fr6ek coat and i
silk hat. but with sword and battle I
axe, wielded by brawny soldiers on j
prancing steeds.
Humoresque.
They were three perfect boarding
house ladles.
"Yes," said the lady who prided
herself on her anthoritative state •
ments. "I think The Humoresque' is I
wonderful."
"That's the new theater downtown
Isn't It, dear?" asked the lady whc
prided herself on keeping up to date
"No. my dear, that is the name of »i
motion picture," patiently explained I
the first lady.
"Is It?" asked the third lady, whc
prided herself on her musical ability
"I thought it was a musical composi- j
tion. My brother is n musician." she (
continued. "He was the leader of a j
band during the war. That's where
I learned what I know about music
He played 'The Humoresque' beautl
fully, so I am sure you are wrong
about Its being a picture."
Title Passed With Him.
The last holder of the judicial title
of.baron In Greai Britain passed with
the recent death In Dublin of Chris
topher Palles, who was baron of the
exchequer in Ireland. The title of
baron was abolished when the cou't
of exchequer was merged with the,
Queen's bench, and Lord Chief Baron
I'alles was the last bearer of it.
He was the solicitor general for Ire
land In 1ST-, and the same year wa.<
j promoted attorney general. After hold .
ing the latter office for two years he j
! became lord chief baron and held thai |
position until 1916.
: He was one of the ablest lawyers on
the Irish bench and one of the wittiest
but had a great regard for the dignity
I of his court. He was eighty-nine year?
| old when he died.—Kansas City Star
Famous Conservatory Gone.

front, says Popular Mechanics Maga
zine. The glass house was erected in
1836-10, and served as a model for tht
great Crystal palace still to be seen
near London. It was itself of no meat:
size, measuring, as it did, 277 feet long
123 feet wide and 07 feet high. For
j ty thousand panes of glass formed the
arching walls cud roof.
Meaning of "Call," a Market Term.
I A "cull," In market [>arlanee is a con
] tract giving the purchaser the option
j to buy i commodity or security at a
j fixed price, within a fixed time. It Is
nsed in speculation In grain, cotton,
j stocks and foreign exchange. When
j German marks, for example, are sell
I ing for 1.6 cents, a broker will sell for
$85 the privilege of buying 25,000
i marks, within nine months, at 5.0
j cents each. If the price within that
j period goes above 5.C cents, the holder
of the call can purchase at that price
and sell at the prevailing market
price, and have the difference as a
profit. If the price does not roach the
quotation named in: the "call," the
money spent for it Is lost.
An Effort at Logic.
'Ton say you want equal opportu
nity for everybody?" said the man who
tries to be fair.
"I do," answered the anarchist.
"And yon are protesting against In
justice?"
"I am."
"Then why don't you give the inno
cent bystander a chance for h's life
when you plant a bomb?"

FOUGHT WAR OVER LAP DOG
Matter of History That Conflict Be
tween the Florentines ivnd Citizens
of Pisa Began Thus.
One of the bitterest of the minor
wnrs of history was fought over a
lap dog. In the thirteenth eentury a
Florentine emissary attending the cor
onation ceremonies of Frederick II
saw and admired a lap dog belonging
to a cardinal. The church official, not
ing the admiration, promptly assured
the Florentine that the dog was his,
and the emissary agreed to send for
It. The ambassador from Pisa saw
and admired the same dog. and was
Just as promptly promised it on the
morrow. Roth men sent for the dog,
but the Florentine's servant, being
first, carried It away. The citizens of
Rome, hearing of the Incident, begnn
to joke about It, and tbe visiting Flor
entines were especially vicious about
the matter. Street fights began and
when news of the affair reached Pisa
the citizens seized all the Florentine
shipping in the bay.
The war that followed was first 'of
a series (hat ended with Pisa falling
before the triumphant Florentines,
and the beginning of the "wane of
her power. The famous leaning tower
of I'isa was only one skyscraper of a
score or more, although the others
have long since crumbled down. These
towers proved valuable In the attacks
of the Florentine army, but one by
one were overcome, and the first city
of the" world to have a skyscraper
skyline loSt its unique standing.
No Snakes in Ireland.
It, Is said that there are no snakes
in Ireland, but the story that they
were driven out by St. Patrick Is
probably based more on hearsay than
historical evidence. The phrase "Con
cerning Snakes in Ireland," is frequent
ly quoted in connection with the above
story, but the phrase Is Itself a mis
quotation and had In reality nothing
to do with snakes in Ireland. The orig
inal phrase does not refer to Ireland
at all. but to Iceland. In a transla
tion of Harebone's works. "The Nat
ural History of Iceland," published In
London In 17."S, chapter 42 Is headed
"Concerning.Owls," and Is as follows:
"There are no owls of any kind In the
whole island." Chapter 72 Is en
titled "Concerning Snakes," and the
entire chapter Is as follows: "No
snakes of any kind are to be met with
throughout the whole of the Island."
The application of the phrase to Ire
land probably at first arose from a
printer's error.—New Orleans Tim's
Picayune.
The Printing Telegraph.
During tlie five-year period 1012
101". Ilie printing telegraph came Intc
extended use by telegraph companies
press associations and railroads. The
printing telegraph consists essentially
of a sending instrument, equipped with
a keyboard similar to tliat of a type
writer. electrically connected with a
receiving Instrument in such a man
ner that the latter automatically re
produces what is typewritten on the
sending Instrument. Without the print
ing telegraph it would have been dif
ficult or impossible to handle the in
creased telegraph business during the
great war.
Edible Oysters in Solid Rock.
Edible oysters that live with theii
shells imbedded in solid rock, like the
fossil of some extinct creatures, have
been discovered In Coos bay, Oregon.
The fact that they are fairly abundant
makes these strange mollusks no less
a curiosity, and the university of the
state is now engaged in a study of
their origin and mode of life. P>e
eanse they are considered an excep
tionally delicious food, the Investiga
tors are also examining Into the possi
bility of their propagation for the mar
ket.
Unconventional.
An old woman from Sullivan county
came to a recent convention held at
Indianapolis. Now, never before had
she attended a convention, and she
had very strange ideas of conven
tions—such as to thinking that they
were made up of banquets, parties,
etc. Rut this one was just a line of
lectures, lectures, lectures. And the
old lady did not like it at all.
At the close of the last day she went
back to her hotel, weary, disappointed
and hungry. She saw another dele
gate and began to talk to her of the
week's lectures. "No. Indeed. I have
not liked this," she said emphatically,
"and more than that. I know T shall
never be n conventional woman."—

I have hod no trouble since last

over lifting that affected my kidncys.
I had sev^r9 pain In th0 lower Part
of my back, but the main trouble
was with my kldneys. Th^ did'nt

bladder. I' had tric.d all known

no good. Doan's Kidney Pills how
