Unlike pulp or fibre wallboards, it can be painted, calcimined, papered or cov ered with any other prepared wall fabric. That is why it makes possi ble buildings more sanitary, more comfortable, mote beautiful, and in expensive.

The moldhoard, a device above the share to turn over the earth, he decid ed, required redesigning. He spent the greater port of his leisure time for j.wo years evolving a moldhoard that would be most effective. Satisfied, at length, that he had suc ceeded, Jefferson sent a plow equipped with his new device to the Uoynl Ag Tlcultiire Society of the Seine. A medal which the society awarded him ? for the plow proved to be all he had hoped for ? followed him to- New York, and IS years later, the society sent hi in a* specially made plow con taining his improvement as a token of appreciation for what he had done for agriculture In France.

Soniv? authorities say I that In hot houses HO to loo years may I elapse before the plant (lowers, h fact whi? It probably gave rise to tha cen tury myth from which the plant gets Its popular name.

Tito salesman was of t ho creative type and was urging . the storekeeper to change Ills methods, and to adopt new selling Ideas. The reply of the storekeeper was: "Oh, these old methods were good enough for my dad, and I guess they're good enough for me." The salesman answered, and he could make this answer because of his experience and familiarity with the situation: "Your dad, when he es tabllshed thfs store, was thp most progressive merchant of his time ? that's why he won success. If he had been content with the methods of your grandfather he would never have es tablished1 any business at all. Your dad, and I knew him Well, never re fused to consider new Ideas; he adopt ed the things that had proved success ful with other merchants. If he were alive today he would be the first one to recognize that the community your Store Is serving Is greatly changed, and that new methods must he adopted to take advantage of new conditions." ? Forbes Magazine. Toad-Stone The toad-stone is generally de scribed as a species of black pebble of no especial beauty as an ornament. During the Dark ages, however. It was In great demand. It was supposed to protect children from the molestation of fairies and to cure kidney and stom ach troubles. Thar a common toad wears a pre cious Jewel In Its head was a profound belief In the Middle nges. Its pos sessor was supposed to be Immune from toothache, so the legend runs, and It was a sure antidote for poisons. These creatures were said to forewarn against venom by transmitting a smarting sensation to the .flesh. The toad was credited with having a natu ral fear and antipathy for man as well as for all venomous reptiles, hence Its warning. The Word " Jovial " The word "Jovial" conceals t ti r* name of Jupiter, <>r Jove. A "Jovial" per son Is theoretically, at least, a person horn under the Influence of the planet Jupiter. <t Jove. TJils planet wiis supposed to he the most Joyful of nil the planets to he horn nnder. Just mm Saturn is the least Joyful. firndnally the word "Jovial" became dissociated from the astrological sig nificance an<l was generally applied to persons who Indicated the quality of Joyfuluess ascribed to hlrth tinder ii Joyful planet. Thus many a wyrd In the 1-Jntrl 1 nh language, In common nse, traces Its origin to mystic beginnings nnd beliefs In the darkness of past asfes. ? Bir mingham Ace Herald. Birds as Prophets In early days supers ftlous people paid considerable attention to the hlrds and their dllTerenf rrW-s. which were believed to foretell evenf*. Thus conies the old saytr?g : "a little hird told me." Traces of ilrlx h?Wief are to he found In our own old Testament, where verso jn of chaptor 10 of V/C clenl?sf?'f? speaks <if "f<?r h hird of thy nlr shall carry the voice, and flint which hath wings shall tsl! the mat ter."
