The dictionary tolls us that (he word bead conies from an old English word "bedc," meaning prayer. When the early eh rch adopted the rosary and established the custom of telling off prayers on a chaplet of beads it gave its word for prayer to the little perforated balls of ivory, polished wood, glass, bone or silver of which the chaplet consisted. Nobody knows quite when the bead was first used as a means of reckoning prayers. The Mohammedans had this practice, but it is probable that Christians had it before Mohammed lived. Beads have probably had various different names before they ever be came of any significance to the early Christian church. They are probably of prehistoric origin, and they are found in almost every country. As we know, our own American Indians used beads of wampum, made from violet and white shells, for a means of exchange. It has sometimes been suggested that wampum was not made until after the Indians came in contact with European settlers, but there is strong evidence to show that the Indians themselves originated this form of shell currency. Beads are found in Egypt, Persia, India and various other eastern countries in ruins that date to pre historic times. They have always been considered possessive of strange powers. In India they are used to ward off all sorts of evil, and many of the beads found in old ruins are flattened on one side, showing that they had been used time and again to rub the afflicted part of some suffering body. It is noticeable about the bead9 from India that they are never perfect. This is not the result of any inability to make them so, but is simply because the Hindu never makes anything perfect. Bad luck he thinks necessarily comes to any one who attains perfection, and if he writes a letter he blots; if he weaves a rug he leaves a bit of the pattern, as we all know, unfinished. ?Rochester Democrat and Chronicle. Mystery of 8teep. "Yes," said the doctor, "sleep is a very puzzling mystery. Nobody knows what the cause of it is, but we do know that it is always accompanied by anaemia of the brain.

It brings the blood to the skin and so lessens the supply in the brain. Curiously enough, great cold has the same effect and for the same reason. You know how cold swells and reddens the hands/' Uh of Fruit. Most fruits contain from 75 to 95 per cent water and a balance of woodv fiber, or cellulose, fruit sug V ' 9 - _ ar and minerals. Thus the free use of fruit daily insures a greater supply of water to the body. The cellulose of the fruit supplies bulk and a mechanical stimulation which promotes waste elimination. Acid fruits, such as oranges, lemons, limes and most berries, contain a certain chemical compound called "vitamines" in a very stable form. These vitamines are believed to purify the blood and to prevent scurvy and various skin diseases.?Popular Science Monthly. Hunt and Goths. The Huns were a Mongolian race who invaded Europe during the fourth century of the Christian era. They waged war with the Goths, | then inhabiting central Europe, and drove them south into Italy, Spain and into the Balkan peninsula, thus indirectly causing the destruction of the Roman empire. The Goths reached as far west a6 Gaul, a Roman province that included the territory now called France, but all trace of them in Europe has been lost. Rattta of the Rattler. The rattle of the rattlesnake is developed from the single conical scale or epidermal spine, which in most snakes forms the internal tegument of the tail. The bone on which the root of the rattle rests consists of the last caudal vertebra and is covered with a skin which is the beginning of the rattle in young rattlesnakes.
