W in Flower “Oracles” |

Perhaps the most familiar of au( ways of consulting fate by means of; a flower is the pulling off of the: petals. But this is not the only way., An American in England, visiting an. ancient and remote country inn, one: day missed her way in rambling corridors and entered by mistake the bedroom of her pretty chambermaid. The’ girl was there, changing her dress, and she offered presently to guide theilady: back 'to her apartment. In the brief wait the visitor noticed something: that struck her as odd. So she asked. why a certain little plant had been pinned up on the wall. “Surely it will fade unless it is put in water,” she said.

“Beg pardon, ma‘am, but it won’t,” replied the girl with pride and satisfaction in her voice. “That’s a pin plant and it’s been growing there a week. Every bud has opened, too. It's doing fine, It was a pretty-tuft of yellow stonecrop, starred with little golden flowers. A few questions about its uses &s a “pin plant,” and the girl, laughing and blushing, admitted that it was customary among the girls of the villagze to pin a tuft of the budded plant upon their bedroom wall as an oracle of love. If it lived feebly but did not bloom, their present love affairs would come to nothing; if it withered and died, they would meet disaster in love; but if at the end of a few days the little plant, suspended by a loosely tied thread head downward from its pin, hegan to curve its stems upward until they ‘stood upright and finally the tips burst into bloom—then all was well, and they might expect to marry and live happy ever after.

Shakespeare Had to Wait for Recognition

[n reading a British review of William Shakespeare's life and works, 1 found many interesting statements, Juck Malone observes in the Chicago Daily News. One of these depicted the “Bard of Avon” as having no rating whatever with the arbiters of literary excellence—Bacon, Marlowe and Green. These critics ignored him utterly, refusing to publish any comments either pro or con, their studied silence attesting a desire to squeleh an ‘actor who presumed to intrude upon their particular field—literature. This intensely interesting and gripping article asserted that the above trio were considered the “cream” of Elizabethan authors, with the power to make or break any upstart seeking to compete with them. So the “Immottal William” was suppressed, and during the next 100 years remained a dim legend. Then came a plea for his rehabilitation among authors of Pope’s time, Shakespeare “fans” became more and more numerous, his dramas and verses were collected and read, and the habit was formed. And finally, 240 years following his death, Shakespeare’s fame was secured or all time! v e

South Seas

The Pacific ocean was formerly. known as the South sea, due to the fact that Vasco Nunez de Balbea, Spanish governor of Darien, first saw: it in 1513 when looking southward. He named it “el Mer del Sur,” or the “Sea of the South.” Almost from the beginning, however, the English used' the term in the plural form and applied it to all the waters of the southern hemisphere. In 1528, only 15 years after Balboa first beheld the Pacificc a man named Thorne wrote to Henry VIII as follows: “Ventiil they come to thee, South Seas of the Indies Occidentall.” In English liter, ature “South Seas” refers especially: to that part of the Pacific ocean south: ot the equator. “The South Sea islands” is a.general term designating, the more remote and less eclvilized; islands in that region.—Exchange, |

Flower Names

The names of many flowers find their origin in proper nouns. Back of them there are often biographies. The beautiful Japdnese flower, wistaria, discovered by Nuttall, was not named after him, but in honor of one of his scientific friends, Casper Wistar, a professor of anatomy at the University of Pennsylvania. The gentian gets its name from the Illyrian king Gentius, who was the first to discover: its properties. Quassia was named after Quassi, a negro slave in Suriname, Dutch Guiana, wh¢ used its bark as a remedy for fever.—Mentor Magazine.

New Test for Diamonds

A method by which the quality of diamonds can be definitely determined and imitations detected has been discovered by M. Malaval, chemical head of the police laboratory at Lyons, in collaboration with Professor Locard. The stones are photographed under the light of ultra-violet rays filtered. through a screen, sunlight being too: diffused for the purpose. e Diamonds of the first water make,; a brilliant image, while inferior stones are merely shadows.

- . " ST Al B TR o i e Where Courtchipls Privilege of Women: Not dﬁry does the Cham maiden in gome districts of Indo-China make thq proposal, but with her also lies the initiative for divorce. Moreover, when' divorce occurs, which it does often. the wife retains the home, the chil dren, and one-third ot the property. Even more favored is the girl of the “maternal kinship” tribes of Assann. Shi proposes, und, if he accepts. the marriage takes place and the husband must then come and live with ber people. And the wife may divorce her husband when she pleases. By s doing,. indeed, she gains much, for she not only keeps the children and her own property, but all her divorced husband’s property as well, If a husband divorces his wife he must still surrender his entire property and the children to her.

The maiden ot Bonda Porjas in southern India resorts to a severe test when selecting a husbhband. The chosen man has to accompuny her into the jun--gle, where she applies fire to his buce back. If the pain draws a yell from him, he is contemptuously rejected. She takes him for husband only If he suffers in silence.

In Borneo, among the Kalabit peopleg, it is always the girl who conducts the courtship.—From the Continental Edition of the London Daily Mail.

Production of Honey - Important in Quebec

In the “Jesuits’ Relation,” dated 1638, it states the Indians used to make a decoction containing alum and honey as a remedy for typhus. The Indians called the English bee the white man’s fly. It is said that the first hive was imported into America in 1638. : The first agricultural statistics of Quebec hardly date as far back as 1870. The first census showed 41,285 hives, with a total yleld of 648,000 pounds of honey. In 1880 the harvest had considerably decreased, and this year gave only 550,000 pounds. The 1890 census gave 48,418 hives, with a production of 759,000 pounds. The growth for the following years was nothing short of a wonder, 1,091,000 pounds being produced by 60,968 hives, the value of honey production and hives being over $500,000. : The annual production in the province of Quebec amounts to 4,000,000 pounds of extracted honey and 300,000 pounds of comb honey. ,

Hessians in Revolutipn

“Hessians” is a term in American kistory for the German conscripts who were hired and sent over by England to help subdue the revolting Colonists. They came from six of the small states of Germany, but as over half of them were from Hesse-Cassel and HesseDarmstadt, the name “Hessians” was generally applied to them. They were first commanded by Lieut. Gen. Philipp von Heister, but he was succeeded by Wilkelm von Knyphausen in 1777. They took a prominent part in the battles of Long Island, White Plains, Trenton, Bennington, Brandywine, Germantown, Guilford ecourthouse, Yorktown and several other smaller engagements. Of the approximate 30,000 who came over to America, only 17,000 returned to Gérmany. About 2,200 were killed outright or died ef their wounds.

Ten Plagues of Egypt

Contrary to the popular notion, there were ten plagues of Egypt. It is a common error to speak of the ®seyen plagues of Egypt.” The ten plagues, according to the Bible, were as follows: The turning of the Nile into blood, covering the land with frogs, turning the dust into lice, sending swarms of flies, killing of the cattle by a murrain, afflicting the Egyptians with boils, raining fire and hail, covering the land with locusts, covering the land with a thick darkness for three days, and the destruction of the first born man and beast—Ezxchange. : ‘

Work for the Blind

Among many remarkable pictures in the annual report of the British National Institute for the Blind, perhaps the most striking are those showing the blind engaged in world industries. A blind man is ringing coins at the royal mint; a blind woman is assembling parts of electric motors: blind workers are assembling toys; a blind girl is employed in photographic envelope folding; while blind girls wrap sweets and fold cardboard boxes.

What many people call indigestion very often means excess acid in the stomach. The stomach nerves have been ‘over-stimulated, and food sours. The corrective is an alkali, which neutralizes acids instantly. And the best alkali known to medical science is Phillips’ Milk of Magnesia. It has remained the standard with physicians in the 50 years since its invention. One spoonful of this harmless, tasteless alkali in water will neutralize instantly many times as much acid, and t:pqmptom disappear at once. You

will never use crude methods whes once you learn the efficiency of this. Go get a small bottle to try.
