Grand RapiJs, Mich., April 7. It 1.' quite likely that Detroit will be th future home of the Little schoolhou in the upper peninsula ln which Justus H. Rathbone wrote the ritual of tht Knights of Pythias in 1860. This state ment was made by W. K. Hampton. grand chancellor of the Knights of Pythias of Michigan, who was in Granil Rapids this week. The buiUing h;m been bought by a syndicate of mem oes who will present it to the order at the grand lodge meeting for preserva tion ln such manner as the lodge shall determine. tlmr ! the laeaa m4 Were Steles Directly Frost Hatar. Houses ar cot the Invention of man. The Idea wis borrowed from the swal low. When the world was young Its Inhab itants were troglodyates. They dwelt iu boles in cliffs. One savage, more enter prising than bis fellows, puttied bis brains to find out a way to construct a coxy dwelling. On one occasion be caught sight of a bird gathering bits of clay with Its beak. It wsa a swallow, and he watched It build a nest on a ledge of rock. -Wonderful.'' said. he. 'Til do like wise." He set to work at once and built a clay hut. Ills neighbors railed him the "mudhole dweller" and laughed at his bouse. But, when they discovered, that he was more snug than they, up went other nuts. The savages lived ln mud huts until the beaver came to visit them. In build ing a house for himself he gave early man a lesson In architecture. The bea rer not only showed him how to build houses that would stand all kinds of weather, but Instructed him In the art of dam and bridge building. The gentlemen of the stone age had boats. This has been proved by the things loft behind them. It Is doubt ful, however, whether they invented vessels themselves. A well known antiquarian declares that the savage stole the Idea for the sailing boat from a small shellfish hav ing a kind of fin attached to its back. By resting on a wave and erecting the fln it can skim over the waters at great speed when the wind Is behind it It Is generally believed that man in vented the thatch to keen barns and ricks dry. As a matter of fuct it was the weaver bird that gave the idea to him. 1th its beak It constructs a per fectly made, large, rainproof shelter, or thatch, over Its nest. The Zulu huts ln the Transvaal are roofed In almost the same way today. Dame Nature was a glassmaker long before man was created. Natural glass resembled the glass of which beer bot tles are made, and It Is to be found ln Iceland, Spain, Italy. Sardinia and al most every locality ln which volcanoes have been at work. Its proper name Is obsidian, and there are enough cliffs of glass to fill all the window frames ln Great Britain. Mica Is another form of natural glass and Is largely used ln the making of chimneys for Incandescent gaslights. It Is dug out of the ground, will stand great heat and needs nothing but split ting to be made use of at once. Old brown Windsor soap, so common ly used for the toilet, is not the real thing at all, but merely aa Imitation. The only soap of that name Is not! made, but comes from the bulbs of the Porto Rico soap plant, and It was used for washing purposes long before nino thought of manufacturing soap from fat and other substances. Its smell li exactly the same as London made old brown Windsor, and there Is no doubt whatever that the latter Is an xaet Im itation of the natural soap. At one time the world was lighted at night with "farthing dips," long sticks of compressed fat with a thin string through the center. Before this the seeds of the tallow tree, which, grown ln Algeria, Sumatra and China, were used for lighting purposes. The seeds, which are of a gixnl size, need but u wkk to burn with a clear, white flame. It will therefore be seen that the Idea for both ancient and modern candles was stolen directly from nature.

The report that Queen Elisabeth has gala been seen promenading the libra ry of Windsor castle reminds one of the curious fact that, with but one soli tary exception, these restless royalties who cannot sleep peacefully In their graves are women. It Is some years now since Queen Bess was last csught In the net of re visiting her old palace at Wludsor, aud ! the ctrcumstauces were these: A young officer of the guards was reading one evening ln the library when he saw a woman, clad from head to heels In black, walk slowly across the library and pass Into an adjacent room. The officer, moved by curiosity at such an unexpected sight, followed the lady and to his amusemeut found that she bad vanished as completely from view as If the floor had swallowed her, aud this although the only exit from the room was the one through which he had followed her. Why the wandering lady should on such slight evidence be tdeutifled as Elizabeth of glorious memory Is not made clear, but at Windsor castle It Is GOLDEN r.ATP ?1 VHIIa m COFFEE Brings good cheer to every family. - i mmw J.
