There is n warm place in the hearts of his
fellow Americans for any statesman who
shall secure the adoption of a permanent
internal revenue tax of say $40 pound on
starch in all forms not edible. A device Of
this sort has driven the Louisiana lottery
out of business, and il is an open question
whether starch as used in clothing, at least
mems clothing, is not a more subtle, per-
vading and pernicious evil than lottery
tickets. From an msthetic point of view it
is, Of course, cardinal sin for which no
penance is in this life adequate. From the
moralists point of view the offense is near
ly as great, for the sum of wickedness, SUI
perinduced by starched linen through the
irritation Of the nerves when the linen Is
stiff and the utter loss of self respect and
self control when the linen Is "broken
down. by the internal heats of our mex
cusable climate, is not easily calculated.
Add to this the proved hygienic ills due
to clothing the human form, and especially
the important organs OF the thorax and
the sensitive nerves in the region Of the
neck, in fabrics that alternate between
rigidity and pulpy humidity, and the in
herent unworthiness Of starch for the use
Of intelligent human beings is established.

The Fertilization of willows.

Some singular exceptions are found to
rules generally deemed absolute, and re-
markable ones have recently been noted
in connection with theories recently
established in regard to the relations
between flowers and insects. Flowers
have to be fortified by pollen before
they can be productive. Most flowers
have stamens or pollen bearing organs
and pistils, the reproductive organs, in
the same flower, but these separate or
gans maturing at different times the
wind or insects are agents for carrying
the fertilizing pollen to other flowers
than those which bear it. This is known
as cross fertilization.
Those flowers only which require the
aid of insects have color or fragrance.
This is said to be an arrangement for at
tracing insects and insuring cross fer
tilization by their aid But the exception
comes in the case Of willows which are
in bloom in early spring and often COM
monty known as pussy cats" Though
in the class fortified by the wind, they
have bright golden color and delight
full fragrance, and the philosophers are
at a loss to understand what this excep-
ton means.-Philadelphia Times.

Moses and His Horns.

Did Moses have horns? Certainly not,
but if you have ever had the pleasure OF
examining a copy Of Michael Angeles
great picture of The Lawgiver' you
have wondered why the great painter
surmounted the patriarchal face gray
beard and becoming priestly gown with
a pair of horns much resembling those
of a 2-year-old animal of the bovine
tribe. The reason is this; Jeromes b
bic, the Latin Vulgate, tells that when when
Moses came down from the mountain
top his face was radiant (rayed) with
the e great light shining from his pure
soul In the Greek Septuagint the trans
lation said it was "cornua, meaning
radiant" Jerome used this later yer,
sion in making his Latin Vulgate ana
translated "cornua" as "cornuta' tne
last meaning horned. Angelo made
his picture Observation-Disclosures

TURNING OVER A NEW LeAe


'''" d "arrled Man Passed Very Unhap-
Ply and Improbable Day.
They had been married years and vears
yet never had he gone away from tbe
breakfast table in the morning without
agoodby kiss until friend came 10 visit
them-one of those cynical. time soured
bachelors who find fault with everybody
and everything and decide for them
selves that the whole scheme of creation
is wrong.
Inc friend did not say anything at the
time, although the kiss Jared on his
sense of the proprieties, but he waited
until he had his host by the ear, so TO
speak, then he said:
You seem to keep the honeymoon
pretty well, George. Must be deuced
bore, too, when the romance is over"
Then good, weak George began to get
wabbly in his mind and had a silly fear
That his friend was making fun of him.
Yes" he said as he lighted cigar,
ut IS rather bore, don't you know. but
the little woman expects it."
II dare say, . resumed the friend, "but
wouldn't coddle her any more if were
you, It's too-too domestic. YOU see. for
this age. Makes man seem spoony and
weak"
Eyes, I've thought SO myself. Guess
I'll turn over new leaf with the little
woman"
The little woman, who had more sense
in her least finger than George had in
his whole body, was greatly surprised
when her husband threw his breakfast
napkin on his plate, rose in haste and
with a cackled TIA ia. dear" ran off
without the customary salute. But she
didn't say anything and bided her time.
1t came sooner than was expected
George went home at night without
the friend, who had returned whence he
came At dinner George was silent and
morose, and the little woman asked
Anything gone wrong today
Eyes. Everything Lost $50 out of
my vest pocket"
TOO bad, but it might have been
worse"
"Then | mislaid some valuable papers
that | carried in the inside pocket of my
coat-it's just been one of my worrying
days, don't you know"
George" said the little woman in a
calm, sweet voice, don't you think it all
happened because you went away with
out a goodby kiss? I've had a worrying
day, too, and laid it all to that.
"By Jove, little woman, l believe you're
right. Queer, but | really believe there's
something in it
And here is the money. You dropped
it on the hall floor in your hurry, And
the papers are probably in your other
coat-you know you changed this morn
ing"
THAT settles it, little woman" and
George gave her the kiss he had omitted
in the morning with interest, and if the
friend could have seen it he would have
CRASHED his teeth-but he didn't.-De-

Thanksgiving Day.

The first Thanksgiving Day held in
America is believed to have occurred
in February, 1851, at which dates yes
sci laden with supplies arrived to sue
cor the starving colony at Charlestown.
During the following years frequent
days of thanks were appointed IN
the New England colonies. At first
these appointments were at different
seasons of the year-sometimes twice
in one year-and for special reasons.
Thanksgiving Day was National IN
stitution during the Revolution and
was annually recommended by Con-
gress, but after general Thanksgiving
for peace in 1884 there was no Ma
tional appointment till 17s9, when
President Washington recommended a
Thanksgiving for the adoption OF the
Constitution. In 1895 Washington ap-
pointed another National thanksgiving
on account of the suppression OF the
insurrection of that year. In 1873 q
day of Thanksgiving for the restoration
of peace was recommended by Presi-
dent Madison, but during the early
part of the century Thanksgiving re-
NAMED an institution peculiar to New
England, but was not always held
either on the same day or in the same
month. The Protestant Episcopal
Prayer Book adopted in 1889 recon-
mended for a day of thanksgiving the
first Thursday in November, and this
day was observed by the church gen
erally in States where there was no Of
fetal Thanksgiving appointed.
The first official appointment of
Thanksgiving Day in the State OF New
York was made in 1917, but the Gov
ernors of Western and Southern States
did not generally follow the custom
until after 1850. Proclamations re-
commencing special Thanksgiving
we're issued by President Lin
coin in 1862 and 1869, and in 1863 and
1864 he appointed the annual Thanks
giving Day by National proclamation.
Since that time annual Thanksgiving
proclamations have been issued by the
Presidents, the Governors of the sew
eral States and the Mayors Of the prln-
cipal cities. The last Thursday Of No
vember is celebrated as Thanksgiving
Day throughout the country.

Significance Of "Van' and "Von."

It is q common mistake of Ameri-
cans to think that the predicate evan"
before Dutch name signifies nobility.
In the low countries--that is in the
kingdoms of the Netherlands and OF
Belgium-"van" has no particular
meaning. Names with evan" are to
be read on shops, as well as on the
doors of the most aristocratic man
sions. The humblest persons have it,
as we'll as the most refined. On the
other hand, a great number of the
very oldest families are without it. In
Germany "von" means noble, and all
persons belonging to the nobility have
''von" before their family names, with
out any exception. Persons who do
not belong to the nobility cannot put
"von" before their names, as they have
no right to do so, and would be found
out directly if they assumed it, and
make themselves ridiculous. But in
case of man being knighted for some
reason or other he has the right to put
"von" before his family name. For
instance, when Alexander Humboldt
was knighted he became Alexander Won
Humboldt, and all his descendants,
male and female, take the prefix. -
