DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT TUESDAY, MAY 1.1, 192 R

America’s Guut Debt to Pioneer Mothers Pioneer mothers played n great part In American annals. Following the ones they loved they nindir homes spring up In the wilderness, From I helping to build Ute cabin, raising the little crops, weaving the clothes, down the long range of ceaselei* toll which frontier life holds, they were co-work-ers with the men who gave America 48 states Instead of 13, Leah A. Kazmark writes, In the National Republic. Around the wide-mouthed fireplaces nt night In the Isolated cabins these mothers of American yesterdays laid the foundation stones of century progress. Here they taught lessons before thu coming of the schoolmaster; here they taught religion from the precious family Bible long before the steeples of white churches dotted the landscape. All the seeds of civilization they planted on each new frontier, as the men planted the wheat in the newly turned soil, drained the swamps and felled the forests. Toiler, mother, teacher, preacher—nil these in one was a typical pioneer woman who furthered the cause of America. Incorrect Belief as to Growth of Trees A marked oak tree began growing on April 17, and grew regulurly until May 23. Then It began a rest period of 32 days. On Juno 21 it started to grow again and continued until July 13. At the beginning of the season ft grew for 30 days, then rested for 32 days, and thereafter grew again for 20 days. During the first growth per iod it grew ten Inches, an average of about one-third of an Inch a day. This proves that the belief that trees grow from early spring, when the leaves begin to come out, until the first frost, when they,start to show their autumn color, Is not correct. For Instance, In the latitude of south ern Pennsylvania the native forest trees make 00 per cent of their height growth in 40 days cf spring and early summer. Trees are fighting for their Ilves all the time. Women Geographers The Society of Woman Geographers is a society organized in 1025 by a group who felt that there should be some medium of contact between women distinguished In geographical work and Its allied sciences—eth nology, archeology, botany, natural history, sociology, folklore, arts and crafts, etc. For active membership in this society only those women are eligible who have done distinctive work whereby they have added to the world's store of knowledge concerning the countries in which they have traveled. Corresponding members are those who fulfill the requirements for active membership, but who reside outside the United States of America and Canada. The associate member shii> admits widely traveled women who are interested in furthering all forms of geographical exploration aud research. Distinctive Brigade The name “Orphan Brigade” was given to a body of troops because they had to leave their own state to Join the Confederacy. “Different accounts Imre been given ns to how the com niand acquired the designation ot Orphan brigade. Its attitude towards its native state—expatriated by reason of identification wth a cause which Kentucky had not formally ap proved; its complete isolation from Its people; Its having been time and again deprived of its commander by transfer to other service, or death In battle—these, all and singular, may have suggested the name which soon fixed itself In the popular mind, and has come to be the real one by which it will be known in history." Stone With a Legend There is only one stone to be found in all Lithuania, where even the paving cobbles for the town streets have . to be Imported from abroad. This solitary stone, a relic of the Ice age lies in a forest, and being unique has a name of its own, "Puntukas." The country' people say that the devil picked up the stone—one can still see the marks of his claws —1< destroy Anykscial church. He hurled it. says the Washington Star, at the church, but missed, and only broke off the. tops of the two steeples. And 'two truncated steeples—the only ones In all Lithuania—are there to this day to prove it. Earliest Newspapers An authority is inclined to give tlie credit for the earliest European newspaper to The Netherlands. A Newe Zuytung, or New Newspaper was found dated In 152(5 and telling of the great buttle with the Turks. But back in the days of old Rome there were the Acta Diuron, or Daily Events, which regularly chronicled battles, elections, games, religious rites etc. That daily paper, or bulletin, lasted to the fall of the western ern pi re. Her Brass Band The young married couple were har ing lunch at a modest eating-house. Tin woman was grumbling because they were unable to afford the luxurious restaurant:- which bad been a feature of their hone.vm.mv . "You emi t have a brass baud everywhere you said ‘he man. tro.. ly “Oh, yes, 1 can." snapped his wife. I’ve got it on me uotv—on uiy Auger."

Prisoner liad Drisf Hours of Pleasure A truly Gllbertiui: situation is described by Francis Carlin, late superintendent at Scotland Yard, In Ids "Reminiscences of an ex- Detective." Mr. Cnriin was once sent to New York to take back to England n wellknown tibscotiding lawyer. They returned on tlie Cedric. The relations between Mr. Carlin and bls prisoner were perfectly friendly on the voyage, and no one on board even suspected the truth. The lawyer, most popular with passengers, was constantly in demand to orgiinlze deck games. On each occasion lie went quietly to Mr. Carlin and Inquired If he would mind. “Certainly not,” the detective told him. Then came the inevitable ship's concert. The lawyer was invited to take the chair. "Os course my uncle will act ns chairman,” butted in Curlin, “and I'll sing you a song.” "And an excellent chairman tny prisoner made,” said Carlin. "He was accustomed to preside over meetings. He made a most telling speech on behalf of the seaman’s charity, and then went on to announce the turns—lncluding my own. nnd to give the audience nil Interest in eneli.” The lawyer got five years when be arrived home.—Kansas City Stsr. Wild Creatures Able to Foretell Danger In addition to the five senses human beings enjoy, it seems that animals and birds have one that enables them to divine n little of the future and what it holds for then*. The saying, "Rats will leave a sinking ship,” indicates a strange foreknowledge on tlie part of these eretures. Fish, birds, and animals are invariably true weather prophets. Sea-birds know hi some curious way when a storm is approaching. Though the weather is tine and the sky gives no warning of a coming storm, they are moved by some common Impulse to make their way inland. Wild geese will also lly from tlie approach of a thunderstorm. Ants will desert their nests, taking their babies with them, 24 hours before tlie outbreak of a forest tire. Rabbits will leave burrows made in low-lying ground before n flood occurs. They have some weird premonition which forces them to seek higher ground before the danger is upon them. “Unpardonable Sin" Theologians differ as to the exact nature of tlie unpardonable sin, which is the sin against the Holy Spirit. In Matthew 12:31, 32, Jesus says: "Wherefore I say unto you. All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men. And whosoever speaketli a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him; but whosever speaketli against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neitlk'r in this world, nor in tlie world to come.” The context Indicates that the unpardonable sin consists of denying out of pure malice tlie divine character of works manifestly divine.

Canal Built in Midair Tlie reclamation authorities resorted to a novel expedient in the building of a canal along tlie side of a mountain at Yakima, Wash. I'own in tlie valley below there wa« plenty of water, sand mid gravel, nil the essentials, in fact, needs’ for coucrete. Up Hie mountain side, 500 feet higher, none of these essentials was available. Accordingly tlie engineers decided to mold the concrete sections for Hie rami! lining iu tlie valley nnd hoist them into position. A trolley was rigged from the valley up the mountainside mid by tills menus tlie concrete sections of canal lining, molded down below, were hoisted into place. Radium in All Springs Not only is therq 11111111111 in spring water, but nil spring water is radioactive to some degree, reports W. D. Collins of the United States geologleal survey. After three days, however, tlie water loses half of its radio-active "kick,” and in thirty days practically none remains. At all times, the quantity of radium in the water is so small that only the most delicate tests enable chemists to detect its presence. In order to have any effe't mi Hie human body it would be necessary to drink at least 400 quarts a day.— Popular Science Monthly. The Infantry .Tack and Bobbie had come to visit Billy, age seven. Tlie three little boys hud been playing together quietly for some time when suddenly Billy’s motliet heard one of tlie children crying. She hurried into the room where they were playing and found Jack and Billy astride a trunk aud Bobbie standing beside him, wailins dismally. "Why, Billy." she exclaimed, "why don't yon let Bobble on tlie trunk, ton?” "Oh." returned Billy, "he's the infantry.” There's a Difference Many women have a shadowy, unreal Idea of love and marriage instead of a very real love and a 'ery real marriage.—Woman'll Home Companion.
