JACQUES BONHOMMS
IIh Kemarlcalalc Experience With
H a tun aud Ills Iiupw
One of the most curious and unac
countable of the mediaeval French leg
ends is that of Jacques Bonhomiuc aud
his remarkable experience with Satan
and his imps According to the story
Bonhomiho was the only poor man In
the community where he lived and in
order to put himself on a liuancial foot
ing which would give him a social
standing among his neighbors he sold
himself to the devil Before the devil
came to close the bargain and take
poor Jacques to the realm of lire and
brimstone Jesus and Peter wandered
that way in disguise Jacques enter
tained the visitors in royal style seat
tug Jesus in his best chair and pluck
ing all the ripe cherries on his single
tree to help make out a frugal dinner
for the wayfarers Peter continually
urged Jacques to seek salvation en
treaties to which the hardened French
man paid bit little attention
When the strangers were ready to
pursue their journey Jesus frankly
told his host that he had no money to
pay for the dinner but that he would
grant three wishes Jacques who
had for some days been heartily sick
of his bargain witli Satan asked that
whoever should afterward sit in the
chair where Jesus had sat might not
be able to arise therefrom until he
Jacques should so will The second
wish was to the effect that whoever
might climb his single cherry tree
might remain there until requested to
come down The third wish was that
whosoever or whatsoever should enter
his purse might not leave against the
will of the owner
When Satan came to claim Jacques
he was given the chair in which Jesus
had sat and was of course held as
fast by the spell as though he had
been caught in a mammoth steel trap
When the imps came they were enticed
to climb the cherry tree and immedi
ately they too were prisoners of the
wily Jacques Finally Lucifer Beelze
bub and all the minor officers of hell
came to look after their chief and the
imps Jacques with purse in hand
met them at the door and persuaded
one aftr another to dive into its cav
ernous tTepths in search of gold He
then closed tbe purse and In full view
of the helpless Satan and the tree im
prisoned imps pounded It flat on the
stone threshold Finally when the
second ofDcers of the infernal regions
were flattened out of all semblance to
Imperial imps of darkness Satan call
ed from the chair entreating Jacques to
desist and promising a quittance from
his obligations Upon this assurance
Jacques released the whole infernal
tribe and since that time they have
all been ashamed to appear to men as
they formerly did so frequently
Executing Political Rivals
In the reign of Charles II the names
of Whig and Tory were used for
the two parties which w e now call
Liberal and Conservative
So strong was tho hostility between
the parties that when the king sum
moned his third parliament 1GS1 he
was afraid for it to meet in London
which was very Whiggish and he con
vened it at Oxford where Toryism was
strong The Whig members alarmed
at this rode into Oxford armed with
pistols
In the reaction which followed this
display of force prominent Whigs were
prosecuted on the evidence of perjured
informers and many of them suffered
death T ho Earl of Shaftesbury the
Whig leader was accused of high trea
son but was acquitted In fact no
Tory juries would convict a Tory and
where the Whigs predominated no jury
would convict a Whig At last things
reached such a climax that leading
Whigs in despair formed a plan to
compel the king to summon a free par
liament but they were accused of high
treason aftd some of their leaders were

Temperature of the Human Body
It is remarkable what slight varia
tion there is in the temperature of the
healthy human body The normal tem
perature is 96G and it is a fraction
less than this one or two hours after
midnight while the maximum tem
perature occurs from one to two hours
after the noon hour The ingestion of
food fasting exercise all are factors
In slightly varying the temperature
The great peculiarity about the tem
perature of man is its evenness under
all conditions Heat or cold causes but
slight variation and In man less than
in any other animal In extremes that
would be fatal to many animals man
can endure and enjoy good health un
der those circumstances We read of
arctic voyagers enduring a tempera
ture ranging from 80 degrees to 90 de
grees and even 102 degrees below zero
while on the other hand in the tropics
during the greater part of the year the
temperature ranges from 106 degrees
to 110 degrees above and yet men en
joy health in such varying tempera
tures
Ancient Salt Currency
In various countries- anciently and in
some eastern ones down to the present
time salt has been recognized as a me
dium of exchange Cosmas speaks of
a salt currency as being in use in the
heart of Africa in the sixth century
Marco Polo in his work Concerning
the Kingdoms and Marvels of the
East written in the thirteenth cen
tury tells us the Tibetans had none of
the great khans paper money but usfl
Bait instead Their small change was
made thus They had salt which they
boiled and set in a mold flat below
and round abore and every piece from
the mold weighed half a pound On
these molds the princes mark was set
and none but the royal officers special
ly appointed was permitted to make It
Eighty of these molds were reckoned
to be equal to a saggio of fine gold

AN UNUSUAL VOYAGE
The Task of Tovrinsr the Dry Dock
Dewey to the Philippines
One of the most unusual and remark
able tasks ever performed upon the sea
will be the towing of the big floating
dry dock Dewey from Solomons island
Chesapeake bay to Olongapo in the
Philippines where the government is
equipping a naval base and dockyard
The Dewey was constructed at a cost
of about 500000 and the cost of trans
porting it to the Philippines a distance
THE DRY DOCK DEWEY
of 15000 mlle3 Is estimated at about
300000 It will be towed by three of
the strongest colliers in the navy and
eight huge wire hawsers and twelve
thick manila hawsers will be used in
making connection between the dock
and the towing vessels The hawsers
weigh about a hundred tons and cost
2d000
The Dewey is 000 feet long by 34 feet
wide and G3 feet high is of steel and
weighs about 11000 tons The route is
by way of the Suez canal and the
Dewey if she gets through will be the
largest structure which ever passed
through that waterway There will be
a tight squeeze in pulling it through as
the dock is almost as wide as the canal
Itself The trip will be a slow one and
will consume from Ave to six months
but no special obstacles to progress are
expected unless typhoons are encoun
tered In thtt case the dock might get
away from the colliers and the conse
quences would then be serious

SIMON MAGUS
The Lejrent Vroin AVliich AVmh Don
the Story of FttiiNt
Almost every renowned man of an
tiquity in the middle ages was believed
to be attended by a splrltus famillarls
and not a few were suspected of being
in direct league with the devil Proba
bly the oldest legend of which the
Faust legend is n continuous thread Is
that of Simon Magus mentioned In the
history of the apostles
According to Justin lie was a native
of Gltton a village in Samaria lie
was no doubt a man of great intellec
tual powers Ho was tho father of the
school of the Gnostics It is also re
ported of him that ho could make him
self invisible that lie could pass
through flames unharmed could trans
pose matter make gold and exorcise
demons In fact he laid claim to all
these powers and his name lived in the
mouths of the people as a sort of demi
urge through many centuries until some
other miracle working personality took
his place at the popular fireside Un
usual accomplishments great erudi
tion were attributed to the supernatu
ral influence and the general disposi
tion to superstitious assumption was
strengthened on the one hand by dog
matic aflirmation on the part of the
church of the existence of a personal
Satan with his numerous household
and on the other hand by incorporat
ing the magic arts among the practical
sciences of which astrology and al
chemy occupied no mean part
THE ODD LITTLE GECKO
A Queer Animal That IilveH In Africa
and Southern Europe
The gecko is an odd little creature
His name is seldom heard and his
form Is seldom seen for he lives in
Africa and the southern countries of
Europe
This little gecko has so many strange
ways and there is something so un
canny in ins appearance that the peo
ple of the countries where he lives are
rather afraid of him believing his bite
to be poisonous although this is de
nied by naturalists
ne is a little creature with a broad
flat head like a snake and a long
body with a narrow tail with odd
shaped bits of skin arranged like scal
lops along the sides of it He has
short legs and queer catlike claws
which enable him to easily climb the
old walls and rocks upon which he
lives catching the insects of various
sorts which make his dinner
He is a nocturnal animal walking
abroad at night and sleeping in the
daytime no moves with sudden
rashes and without any noise what
ever His odd name was given him
from the queer noise he makes which
is Something like the noise you would
make to start a horse with The male
gecko is of a gray color so near the
shade of the old walls and rocks
among whicli he makes his home that
he can barely be seen
ChineKe Children
The education of their children is a
matter of no small interest to the af
fectionate Chinese mothers They
watch the little one from the day he is
born to note superstitious signs Let
him cry lustily and he will live long
say the old grannies If he teeths or
walks too soon he will grow up un
lovable in disposition At first the lit
tle Chinese are not very attractive ob
jects presenting rather a scaly appear
ance due to the custom of not wash
ing them lest they catch cold A month
after his birth the boys head is shaved
A great feast is prepared and celebrat
ed the child now receiving his milk
name When he enters school his
name is changed as it is once more
when he receives his degree Pilgrim
A Curious LcKentl
There is a curious legend in regard to
Deadmans place Southwark Loudon
An ingenious old writer says that the
name originated as follows In Dead
mans place at St Maryoverus a man
servant being buried at seven of the
clocke in the morning and the grave
standing open for more dead
i ties at foure of the clocke in the same
evening he was got up alive againe by
I a strange miracle which to be true
and certaine hundreds of people can
testifie that sawe him acre like a coun
try Ghoste in his white peackled
sheete However a more exact his
torian explained that the name was
merely a corruption of Desmonds
place
Live While Too Are Alive
Enjoy life as it comes to you Listen
to the bird songs and the voices of the
children Linger to watch the sunset
or the opening of a flower Take into
your life the goodness the pleasure and
the brightness of every day for we
shall pass this way but once and then
when you reach the last day that is
given you here you will be content and
can say I have lived Town and
