They Came Within Fifty Year After the Invention of Printing. It was within half a century from the Invention of printing that book plates were introduced as identifying marks to indicate the ownership of the volume. Germany, the fatherland printing I from movable type and of wood cut ting for making impressions ia Ink on paper. Is likewise the home land of the book plate. The earliest dated woodcut of accepted authenticity Is the well known "St.

Christopher of 1423." which was discovered In the Carthusian monastery of Buxheiin, in Suattia. It was to insure the right of ownership in a book that the owner had it marked with the oat of arms of the family or some other heraldic device. Libraries were kept intact and passed from generation to generation, hearing the emblem of the family. The first book plate in France is dated 1574: In Sweden. 1575; Switzerland, TtVJ7.

and Italy, 1023. The earliest English book plate is found in a folio volume once the property of Cardinal Wol- gey and afterward belonging to his royai master. The earliest mention of the book plate In English literature Is by Pepys, July 10, VSiH. The- first known book plate in America belonged to Governor Dudley. Paul Revere, the patriot, was one of the first American engravers of book plates and a designer of great ability.

Journal of American Historv. THE FLYING FOX. Curious Inhabitant of the Forests In Eastern Australia. The flying fox is a very curious inhabitant of the forest near Moretou bay, in east Australia. It lives In flocks and moves generally toward the dusk of the and the noise produced by the heavy flapping of the so called wings Is very singular.

The flocks like- quiet places, where there are large araucarian pine trees, with an underwood of scrub and creepers. The foxes hang In vast numbers from horizontal branches of the pine trees. When there Is a clear space among the trees an enormous- number of the animals may be seen, and their noise can be heard, for directly they see anything unusual theymtter a short bark, something like the sound made by young rooks. Often every branch Is crowded, and the young foxes are seen either flapping their wings and holding on with their hind feet and with their heads, downward oir snarling and fighting for places. Suddenly the whole- take to flight and flap, their furry, wingtlke sides and wheel around lik heavy birds.

Many fly with their young holding on to thetu. The creature- is not a true fox, and. there Is a fold of skin which reache ifrom the fore- to the- hind legs. This Is. called the wing, and it enables the-pteropus, as the animal is called, to Boat and tura in the air.

Obsolete Cures. It was formerly believed that epilepsy could be cored by wearing a silver ring, made from a coffiu nail. Seven drops- of blood from the tail of a cat amt blood from a recently executed criuimat were said to be valuable remedies for epilepsy. To. cure a felon or run around hold the finger in a cat's ear for half an hour.

For toothache trim your finger nails on Friday or eat bread thut a mouse has nibbled or carry In your pocket a tooth from a soldier killed In battle. For ranula of the tongue spit on a frog. For alcoholism drown an eel to brandy and make the druukard drink the brandy. To cure warts rub the wart with a potato and feed the potato to a pig. Glued Clothes.

"In Korea," said a tailor, "needle and thread are unknown to tailoring. Their place Is taken by glue." "Gluer "Glue a peculiarly fine glue made of fish. Making Korean clothes, the tailor does not bring two edges of cloth together and then slowly and painfully unite them with flue stitches of the needle. No; he overlaps the edges slightly, brushes on a little glue, presses the seam together and seta the garment away to dry. "I wore glued clothes in Korea and found that thoy lasted almost as well as sewed Orleans Times-Democrat.

7 Reading Aloud. Surely the sum of human happiness might be indefinitely increased if the people learned to take a real deiight in the simple, quiet and inexpensive pleasure of reading. Reading aloud in the family circle Is an excellent way of bringing the members together. They have thoughts In common and subjects of conversation. How much better and how much happier is this way of spending an evening than the inane, driveling games which so frequently lake Its Magazine.

A. CONTAINS NO HARMFUL Throat The Genuine in the Doublet the Number of Eggs. To be successful with poultry re quires a great deal more careful atten tion than many are apt to think. The house should be large and warm. The fowls should have plenty of exercise, but, more than that, the fowls should be given as food what their nature de mands and what, if allowed free range, they could procure for themselves.

"Page's Perfected Poultry Food" con tains these ingredients in a carefully compounded ration. A. A. Olmsted of South Newbury, has the following to say in regard to this food: "We have been for some time using in 'Perfected Poultry Food' with siu-t good results that we thought it a pro er thing to tell you. It keeps our hen well and in good laying condition and, we think, doubles the number of Being in good condition, lice do uoi trouble." Any one sendiug his address on a postal card to S.
