The thlm to do Is to look It squarely in the face. Hwallow an unpleasant truth or so If necessary, hut get down to the Issue, Is the advice of the Montreal family Herald. If the,cause cannot be changed, there Is only one thing to do - don't think . about It. Forcevjr'uurself to shut it out of-you*: consciousness. Just close your mind to It, and let the blow fall when and where It will. Since you can't stop It, you might at least save your strength for the finish. But rrfost of our worries are avoidable. We worry because we suddenly think, two hours after we left the house, that we maybe didn't turn off the electric iron in the kitchen, or beI* cause we have a house full of company ! In the evening anifl</'~in>tMng seeniarendy, or because vhe children won't eat their vegetables, but will fill up on I candv. or any number of small things. that are thfe result of our own carelessness or our Inattention to duty. Ancient Mortgage Law? Kxplorers on the site of ancient Babylon have dug up clay tablets on which were recorded agreements from borrower to lender whereby the harvest, of certain fields or vineyards was pledged as security for loans. Modern mortgage law Is traced back to the | Anglo-Saxons. Records show two forms of mortgages'?tluj vlf-guge or life pledge and the mortgage or dead pledge. Under the life pledge the lender took title to the property and managed It until such time as the earnings of the property paid off the debt. Under thfe dead pledge, the borrower paid off the debt In full at a specified time when the mortgage was canceled. In case of fullure to pay he forfeited the property. Many Kinda of Oaha There are 300 kinds of oak trees having vastly different characteristics, but they have one common feature, and that is they all produce acorns. The white oak Is so called because It has a rather white bark, while the black oak s bark Is quite dark, black to all Intents and purposes during the "wood age." Live oak was always preferred for shipbuilding and for heavy duty, but Just why It whs named "live" Is h matter of doubt.* At "one time the island of Nantucket stwas covered with live oaks, but tltV land was denuded of this timber years ago during the whaMng activities, when several shipbuilding yards flourished on the Island and a great fleet of whalers wus built there. Wattle and Dab | Wattle and dab is a term of arehl| tecture applied tq, a wall made with upright sruktH; with withes twined between .4'henr iiffl then plastered over. It Is probably one of the oldest sya tems of construction. The Kgyptlans employed the stem of maize, or Indian corn, for the upright stakes. These were secured together with withes and covered over with mud, the upper por- , lion of the malsse steins being left uncut at the top to increase the height | of the enclosure, 'n the Middle ages In Kngland wattle and dab was used as a framework for clay chimneys.

They drink un emetic of strong potency and all stand in a row and vomit violently over a cliff. Bah 1 Record ? Show Women Had Natural Home The E\ll One Is generally supposed to be provided, with horns, bflt It comes as a surprise to find that cases of horned men and women have been known. A speaker at a meting of the British association stated that the curious formation of the recently discovered Galilee skull must have given Its owner, during his lifetime, almost the appearance of being horned. . Quite recent rimes, however, afford examples of people who went farther than this and did actually grow horns. . The most remarkable case was that of a Cheshire woman, who In the Sixteenth century, made quite a good living by exhibiting herself as a freak at Charing Cross. The first horn, a long, slender one, took 20 years to grow. It was then shed, and In Its place came pairs, cast at Irregular Intervals and In variably regruwn. A more recent example was Mrs. Allen, of whom engravings made In the year 1790, showing a single horn, are still In existence. Desert Lands The term desert Is used to Include the tundras or frozen plains of the Arctic regions, the great Ice wastes of the Arctic and Antarctic continents and sometimes the temporary wastes of steppes which are only covered with vegetation for a few months In the spring. The name is usually restricted, however, to thd hot dried dla trlcts of the latitudes where the temperatures are extreme, the rainfall very scanty and evaporation very rapid. These hot deserts occur In two belts encircling the earth; in the northern hemisphere there stretch the great Sahara, the Libyan nhd Nubian deserts, the Desert of Arabia, Persia. Turkestan and Gobi, and continued In the Great Basin of North America. The southern ring, less extensive, and more broken Includes the Kalahari desert In Africa, the interior of Australia, and the Atacama desert In South America. Unlucky Interference A high ranking army officer, vain of his prowess at billiards, challenged a lieutenant to a game. The latter was a skilled player, but for the sake of policy, decided to let the other defeat him. lie wunted to make the game close, however, and kept his score even with that of the high ranking officer's. Then the lieutenant had to make a shot that would decide the game, lie, of course. Intended to miss but Just as he was about to shoot, another lieutenant, who feared the consequences to his friend If he should win, twitched his arm, with the result that the -shot went true and the lieu tenant won the game. Change Room'* "Scenery" Nothing Is so refreshing In a room a? to change its scenery. The pic-' turesT are Its scenery, and a change of .pictures on the walls does more than anything else to give fresh interest to the room. These pictures, which are magic windows In the home, may In their varying aspects give us new fields for the Imagination, and isn't It al wnyo pleasant to wander In new fields und to receive new Inspiration that comes with this? So let us follow the custom of the Japanese, that nation ot artists, ami change the pictures thnt hang on our walls from time to time. Care of Gutters When the tinner puts up the gutter-on your house make certain that they are set In such a way that they drain In the direction in which they were Intended, and thnt they are supported at frequent Intervals. Home builders are often disappointed because the gutters rust away, but they do not stop to think thnt the life of this part of the roof could be prolonged by keeping It clean. Ants' Sense, of Direction Naturalists once thought that ants returned to their home through the forests of grassblados, weeds, sticks, etc., by scent, following their own track hack. As a matter of fact an ant st-luoiii goes T>ack over the outbound trail, and there Is considerable evidence that It reljcs more <m the mysterious general sense of direction I than en sight or any other particular I sense?Our Dumb Animals. ' ?*"? ? > ' ? TV? Bagpipe and Organ y Alike in Principle The Highland bagpipe Is a primitive instrument with a quality all ita own, aaya the Chicago Journal. It has nine notes, but they are not like the chromatlc scale. The bagpipe scale does not exist In any other instrument and its music, unlike "regular" music, can not be transposed from one key Into another. The bagpipe Itself, in Its Highland form, consists of an airtight leather bag with three wooden stocks, usually of ebony, fitted Into it, one of them holding the mouthpiece, another the chanter, another the three drones. As most people know, It Is pluyed with the hag held under the arm, the drones over the shoulder, and with the fingers on the noteholes In the chunter at the front. Except that its scale Is Its own and does not exist In any other Instrument, the bagpipe Is similar to a church organ In principle. The plas'er maintains the wind pressure on his drones and chapter by keeping the bag full of wind and rpg'ulates the volume of sound by the pressure of his arm on the bag. What hd produces may not be the sweetest form of music in the world, but even to ears that are far from Scottish it is the most unforgettable of all music. Those who have listened to the pibrochs of the different clans and to the walls of the funeral dirge say that it Is like no other music In the world. Customs of Indians Unchanged by Time The Indians living in the region of San Francisco bay have not changed their customs or place of abode for 3,500 years, says Dr. A. L. Kroeber of the University of California. "When Troy was besieged and Solomon was building his temple, at a period when even Greek civilisation had not yet taken on the traits that we regard as characteristic, when only a few scattering foundations of specific modern culture were being laid and our own northern ancestors dwelled In unmitigated barbarism, the native Callfornlan already lived In ail essentials like his descendant of today." This knowledge was obtained from shell mounds sub-1 merged around the bay. All classes of objects found in these monnds were nnearthed with practically the same frequency from the'-top, middle and bottom. This-shows that these prehistoric people ate the same kind of food, wore the same kind of clothes and had the same customs as their descendants. The age of the mounds Is estimated by calculating the time necessary for such shells to accumulate.?Pathfinder Magazine. Original Weather Vane The church weather vane has been handed down to our own day from the time of St Dunatan. Its form is traditional, and Its popular name, weathercock, suggests its shape. The cock was selected to top the spires and turrets because It Is the emblem of vigilance. When that symbolic bird tips a church spire it represents the preacher who, after himself awakening from the sleep of sin, proceeds to figuratively flap his wings to arouse the slumbering consciences of his flock. This ancient tradition comes from Bur ope where the weathercock is almost universal as the finishing touch to a church steeple. Poetic Legend There is a great deal of lndeflnlteness, not only as to the origin but as to the application of the name "Forget-Me-Not," applied .to the flower, j Germah legend Is full of explanations of Its origin. In one myth a knight dashes into a lake to pluck the flowers growing on the further bank. K)n his return his strength Is exhausted. Feeling that he cannot regain the shore, though very near it, he throws the flowers at his lady love's feet, and, crying "Forget ine not," disappears beneath the waves. 0 Traveling for Pleasure ? - After considerable urging, Herr Schulze of Berlin took his wife on a.tour of northern Europe. Arriving In due course at Nordkap, the promontory of?Norway, they viewed the midnight sun, and Herr Schulze Idly scrntchOd on a rock: "Sat here with wife. Fine I^Schulze, Berlin." : Three weeks later a neighboring rock road: "Sat here without. Finer! Meier, Hamburg." I Resisting Temptation Many seek to fly temptations, and fnll into then) more grievously. By flight alone we cannot overcome; hut by patience and true humility we are made stronger than nil enemies.' He who only turns aside front them outwardly. and does not pluck out the roots <?f them, will make but little advance; nay, temptations will sooner return to him, nnd he.,\vlll flnd himself In a worse condition.?Thomas a Kempls.
