New York.—The Harvard house, in
Stratford-on-Avon, Identified as the
early home of the mother of John
Harvard, will soon he formally opened
to American .tourists who visit the
qaaint old town. The exercises were
planned for Independence day, but if
the restoration is not completed by
that time they will take place soon
after. ^
For many years this historic struck
ture, just north of the famous Garrick
Ancient Staircase fo Harvard House.
inn, has been known merely as the
"old house on High street," and only
through the recent efforts of an Ameri-
can, who is a Harvard graduate, has
the house been identified as the home
of the mother of the man who founded
Harvard university. This American
found that John Harvard's mother was
Katherine Rogers, daughter of Thomas
Rogers, a Stratford-on-Avon alderman,
but where she lived he did not know.
It was merely as an antiquarian that
he was one day examining "the old
house on High street," when he was
genuinely surprised and delighted to
find under a window of the second
story the inscription, "T. R., 1596, K.
R." Further search among the records
of the town disclosed a lease describ-
ing the Garrick inn property as
bounded on the north by "the dwell-
ing house of Thomas Rogers." Here,
then, was the connecting link which
held to prove that "the old house of
High street" was the home of the
'woman who gave John Harvard birth.
It was through Marie Corelli, who
lives in Stratford-on-Avon, that the
house was finally purchased after hav-
ing been withdrawn from the market
because the bids were not high
enough. She was on a summer cruise
on Sir Thomas Lipton's yacht when
she met Edward Morris of Chicago.
To him £he confided her hope that the
house would some day belong to Har-
vard university. Immediately Mr.
Morris grew enthusiastic over the
idea. He authorized the novelist to
purchase the place for him, and in«
intrusted her, moreover, with the work
of restoring the ancient building and
bringing it back to its original -six-
teenth century style.

west of Spokane, in accordance with
the wiah of Chief Oliver Lott, who
lost his life by drowning in a shallow
pool below Sheep Creek falls, a few
weeks ago. The induction ceremonies,
performed by eight chieftains and
headmen of the Coeur d'Alene, Kali
spell, Nespelim and Colville tribes
were witnessed by 600 persons, includ-
ing two score of white, who were
guests at the banquet which closed the
all-day celebration. Chief Sam is a
fine specimen of the North American
Indian, and his conduct of the red
men's affairs since the death of Chief
Lott shows he has many of the quali-
ties of leadership. He is 26 years of
age, six feet in height and is as
straight as an arrow.' He has won nu-
merous trophies in athletic competi-
tions on various reservations in the
northwest. He Is popular with mem

SKIN ERUPTION CURED.
Was So Sore, Irritating and Painful
That Little Sufferer Could Not Sleep
—Scratched Constantly.
Cuticura's Efficacy Clearly Proven.
"When about two and a half years
old my daughter broke out on her hips
and the upper parts of her legs with a
very Irritating and painful eruption. It
began in October; the first I noticed
was a little red surface and a constant
desire on her part to scratch her limbs.
She could not sleep and the eruptions
got sore, and yellow water came out
of them. I had two doctors treat her,
but she grew worse under their treat-
ment. Then I bought the Cuticura
Remedies and only used them two
weeks when she was entirely well.
This was in February. She has never
had another rough place on her skin,
and she is now fourteen years old.

He Bit.
The city man was jogging on to-
ward the summer boarding-house in
a rickety old wagon. The driver was
glum and far from entertaining, and
the city man felt rather lonely.
"Fine field over there," he ventured,
after a long silence.
"Fine," grunted the driver.
"Who owns it?"
"Old man Bitt."
"Old man Bitt, eh? Who are those
children stacking up hay?"
"Old man Bitt's boyg/."
"And what is his idea in having
them out there In the field such a hot
day?"
"Wal, I reckon he thinks every lit
tie Bitt helps, stranger. Anything
else you want to know? Get up here,
hosses."*
Good Work Among Children.
According to a statement of the
National Association for the Study
and Prevention of Tuberculosis over
2,500,000 of the 17,000,000 school
children enrolled in the United States
have during the school year just
closed been systematically Instructed
concerning the dangers of consump-
tion and the methods for its cure and
prevention. Besides the 2,500,000 chil-
dren thus instructed in their schools,
the National Association estimates
that fully 1,000,000 more have re-
ceived instructions at the t various
tuberculosis exhibits held in all parts
of the country or through separate
classes and organizations.
Law of Attraction.
The attractions of men to women
and women to men are full of the most
perplexing Inconsistencies and contra-
dictions imaginable. It is, for instance,
a physical law .that magnetism is not
simple attraction of one thing for an-
other, but the difference of two oppos-
ing forces of attraction and repulsion,
of which the former is the greater.
The same law holds in relation to the
attraction of men and women for each
other, In which, as a rule, the mascu-
line is the superior force.—T. P.'s
Weekly, London.

SURPRISED HIM
Doctor's Test of Food.
A doctor in Kansas experimented
with bis boy In a test of food and
gives the particulars. He says:
"I naturally watch the effect of dif-
ferent foods on patients. My own lit-
tle son, a lad of four, had been ill
with pneumonia and during his conva-
lescence did not seem to care for any
kind of food.
"I knew something of Grape-Nuts
and Its rather fascinating flavor, and
particularly of Its nourishing and
nerve-building powers, so I started the
boy on Grape-Nuts and found from
the first dish that he liked it.
"His mother gave it to him steadily
and he began to improve at once. In
less than a month he had gained
about eight pounds and soon became
■o well and strong we had no further
anxiety about him.
"An old patient of mine, 73 years
old, came down with serious stomach
trouble and before I was called had
got so weak he could eat almost noth-
ing, and was In a serious condition.
He had tried almost every kind of
food for the sick without avail.
"I Immediate'* put him on Grape-
Nuts with good, «ich milk and just a
little plncH of augar. He exclaimed
when I cami next day 'Why doctor I
never ate ^nythlng so good or that
made me fecfl so much stronger.'
"I am pleased to say that he got
well on Grape-Nuts, but he had to
■tick to It for two or three weeks,
then he began to branch out a little
with rice or an egg or two. He got
entirely well in spite of his almost
hopeless condition. He gained 22
pounds in two months which at his
sge is remarkable.
"I could quote a list of cases where
Grape-Nuts has worked wonders."

His Preference.
Commander Maxwell of the navy
enjoys telling of an unique complaint
preferred by a recruit.
On every man-of-war the bar of
justice is aft in front of the "stick,"
or mast. The recruit had gone to the
stick to "state" his grievance. "Well,
what do you want?" asked the
executive officer.
"Please, sir, I whnt to complain of
the breakfast this morning."
"What did you have?"
"Burgoo, crack-hash, hard tack and
coffee, sir."
"What did you expect?"
"Please, sir, I always like to start
my breakfast with a nice steak and a
pair of eggs." — Illustrated Sunday
Magazine.
"A Cheap Skate."
"Joel Chandler Harris," said an At-
lantan, "used to write comic newspa-
per editorials. Sometimes he made
fun of other editors In them, too,
"Simon Simpson, a rival editor In
Mobile, having been made fun of,
wrote angrily in his rage:
" "Joel Harris has been getting off
some cheap wit at our expense.'
"Joel, on reading this,-grabbed his
pen and dashed off. quick as a flash,
for next day's issue:
" 'It must have been cheap, Simon,
to be at your expense.' "
Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory if the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, It is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric Is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear-
ing quality of the goods. This trou-
ble can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because of its great-
er strength than other makes.
Have No Use for Pins.
All American exporters concerned
are warned by Consul General Denby
that they'll never get rich by selling
pins to the people of Shanghai. "The
Chinese have no use for pins," he
says, "strings and knots and loops
meeting every requirement of male
and female, young and old, to keep his
or her garments securely and neatly
fastened."

Good Knowledge for Divers.
As part of the education of the Eng-
lish naval divers, the beginners are
taught how to save themselves, should
they become exhausted, by allowing
their suits to fill with air and shoot-
ing rapidly upward to the surface,
where they are dragged into the boat
by' the attendants.
With a smooth iron and Defiance
Starch, you can launder your shirt-
waist just as well at home as the
steam laundry can; it will have the
proper stiffness and finish, there will
be less wear and tear of the goods,
and it will be a positive pleasure to
use a Starch that does not stick to the
Iron.

Reputations.
"The Autocrat," remarked the Re-
condite Person, "made a remark the
import of which escaped me until the
other day. He said: 'Many a man
has a reputation because of the repu-
tation he expects to have some day.' "
\ "That's not a half bad remark," sug-
gested the Practical Person, "but my
son—just out from college, you know,
and in the habit of thinking hump-
backed thoughts, as it were—said
something only this morning that ap-
pealed to me: 'Some men,', he said,
'get a reputation and keep it; other
men get a reputation and make it
keep them.'"
The Thrifty Scot.
A Scotsman and his wife were com-
ing from Leith to London by boat.
When off the Yorkshire coast a great
storm arose and the vessel had sev-
eral narrow escapes from foundering.
"Oh, Sandy," moaned his wife, "I'm
na afeard o' deein', but I dinna care
to dee at sea."
"Dinna think o' deein' yet," an-
swered Sandy; "but when ye do, ye'd
better be drooned at sea than any-
where else."
"An' why, Sandy?" asked his wife.
"Why?" exclaimed Sandy. "Because
ye wouldn't cost sae muckle to bury."

Starches put on the market 25 years
ago are very different and Inferior to
those of the present day. In the lat-

Injurious chemicals are omitted, while
the addition of another Ingredient, in
vented by ub, gives to the Starch a

proached by other brands.
