Lilac Always Blossom of Love and Lovers The lilac is an oriental blossom, coining to us originally way. of Turkey and Spain. It is supposed to be the llower of love and lovers, mark ing the heyday of spring. The love- lore of the '“Inyloek,” to give It an Old-world name is varied and pleas ant. A spray of white lilac, burled on the eve of a May moon, is u mid land charm which maidens practiced, believing that by the time the lilac died they would have the heart of the man they desired. If—wr many lilac petals us composed the name of a lov-; er were strung on triple threads of white silk, and worn in a little bag. next to the heart, before next lilac time came the lover would be won by this secret charm. If you have lilac in ytmr garden na ghost can enter your house; if white lilac grows be side your door you will never he with out love and tuck; if you pluck n rpruy, of lilac without your loverfs knowledge when walking with him, put one of its’petals In his drhik; if v he swallows it, he is yours forever and a day. v A “luck lilac,” usually found on white lilac, has five divisions of the petal Instead of four. If you ore in love, look for a luck lilac, swallow it. and your loved one' will be faith ful for all time! Thus love and lilac are irrevocably related. /f- Governor Henry S. Johnslon, of Oklahoma, on whose order Nation- r.

Beds of Clay Reveal the Passage of Time Geologists can follow the tracks \of the sun and tell the time, year; ita year, in geological ages—ancient that even by millions of yeprs they aix» hard to count » Not far from Stockholm there are some remarkable beds of clay, regu larly arranged ln\ alternating bands <>/ sand and clay. These turn out to be Hie layers deposited by the melt ing glaciers of the Ice age, each one laid down in th^ spring and summer when the Min was hottest. And as there was a freeze-up each winter and- inciting each summer, the layers be come almost pis-accurate an index to the antiquity of the lee age as the an nual rings.of a tree are to the age> of the tree. Moreover, the same system of meas uring geological time lias now been extended -x^vit all Scandinavia, and parts of Indift and South- America. Everywhere the layers appear to cor respond so closely in the variations of their thickness, year by year, that there seems no doubt they were laid down in corresponding years.—Baron Gerard de Geer. Gas From Oil Wells Vapor that rise from oil wells and which lias hitherto gone to waste is now being bottled and sold as fuel. 'I'liis vapor is obtained from wells that are In production or -from welts that have been pumped out, and burns with an odorless gas llame after it has gone through various processes. It is first refined and compressed until it becomes a low-pressure liquid that reassumes its gaseous form on be ing released from .tire steel bottles in which it fs stored. These bottles are attached to heating appliances by pipes ami’lubes. W hen the valve of the Jet is turned on the pressure of the gas forces it through an‘air mixer similar to that of any gas range. / Confucius Great Sage The man wliqse memory has for '2.0U0 years aroused sigufil respect ami honor in China was a sage, nbt a saint nor a founder of u religious faith. Confuciods took the best of the various Chinese philp^ophers of his day and formed a cijlt of his own, using 6s a basis five cariJinal virtues— righteousness, knowledge, “Sincerity, politeness and discrimination of good.

The Hobb dnstinct One of the primal Instincts of man which refuses to be eradicated is the wandering urge. It originated, un doubtedly, from necessity. The need for changing hunting grounds and entrip sites was always present «n pre historic and'carly historic times. La ter when people settled down, found ed towns, and -agricultural districts be came established, the^ necessity for this urge Ceased to some extent. The instinct of wishing to sve new lands, however, has Continued nfcd undoubt- edly that is orte of the reasons for the present popularity of motor cantping. —Field ami istreatn .Magazine. ^Oyster Supper Friday Night. 1 \ Announcement is made* that the Ladies’ Bible Class of the Barnwell Methodist Church will serve an oyster supper Friday night, February 3rd, nt the church building.
