MONTH OF ANNIVERSARIES.

The month of September is full of anniversaries of great interest to the people of Malta. On September g., 1885, the great siege of Malta was raised, when, the Turks being con- pletely repulsed, Europe was saved from the common enemy. The third or fourth Sunday of the rsonth is al- ways made a fete in hCnor of Roger of Normandy, who liberated the slan- Gers from the Ear2ccns in 1o90. His tory and the exiSencies of an isolated position have accustomed Malta to in- vasion. Of all the sn:nies that have overrun the island time after time one horde only was dismissed once never to return, says London paper.
 It was just 100 years ago ea the 4th of October that tha garrison sur rendered to the British after the fa- nous blockade that lasted two years.
 Like Ireland, Malta has no vipers, and like the green isle, the flower of the world, as the Msltese call their home, owes it's immunity to it's patron saint. Malta is the island of St. Paul. The inhabitants delight in pointing cut the spot where the saint landed, the grotto where hs was imprisoned and the exact place where, shaking the viper from his hand into the fire, he took no hurt. He then cursed all yannrnnus animals out of the 1and.,

Mrs. Oliver, Miss Henrietta Cowper came into the community-young graceful and charming. In short while, as the saying is, Oliver began taking notice," but no one suspected his intentions were serious.
 FinaIly the day came when the ser mon was to be preached. The little stone church was crowded. People came for miles to hear the eloquent tribute to the good woman that was no more, and listened spellbound for an hour. Miss Cowper was there. So was MT. Oliver. But the length of the church was between them. The inn pressive sermon was at an end. The congregation had begun to disperse, making way for the relatives, who, in deepest mourning, move-t toward the door. .-.
 Suddenly everyone's attention was turned toward the pulpit. The min ister was standing as though in ex- rpectancy, and while the waiting peo- pie watched Oliver arose and advanced toward the chancel and stood in waiting. In a moment he was joined by Miss Cowper, who, approaching. placed her hand in his. Then all was plain. No one now thought of leav- ing, and James Oliver and Henrietta Cowper were pronounced one.
 The bride and bridegroom drove at once to Mir. Oliver's home, and far into the night could be heard the gay. voices of the young people who had accompanied them

The Ara1at mountains in Armenia comprise two peaks situated seven miles apart. They are known as Greas and Little Ararat and are respectively 17,2co and 14,220 fee. above the plain
 says the Scientific American. They partially belong to three countries
 Russia, Turkey and Persia. The mountains are covered On the tops with perpetual snow, ice and glaciers. The summit os Great Arerat was reached in 1920 by Prof. Parrot, and on September 9, 1909, a member ol the Russian Geographical society Eamed Peq.gelpohl ascended the peak with . considerable party. The Sih1cuItier, of the as1ent are very great and his successful expedition will be welcome news in ge ographica, circles. Accents are rare, having been made in 1894, 1S43, 1S45, 1850 and 1856.

LACE WORK FOR WOMEN.
Less Encouraged in the United State. Than in Any Other EniGht-
 ened Nation.

In all of the foremost countries of the world, except the United States, the manufacture of hand-lace is en- couraged as a source of social good, and the ambition of the needlewomen engaged upon it is stimulated by the appreciation and avowed patronage of the rich, says Ada Sterling in At lantic. American women displa.
 sharp acumen in selecting the best ex. amples of handiwork abroad, paying Shigh prices to middle men, and, added Ap this, tEe regular duties, OF tariff; but the availability, not to say neces= sity, of Itran splanting this home indus
 try. to this side of the water and her
 protecting it seems not to have oc- cured to them. Nevertheless, no na- tion needs more to provide an interest ing and quieting occupation for it's Svorkwomen than does this one.
 : Here is 8 distinct and untrodden field for the women who are now devoting g themselves indetermlHately to the so- termed amelioration of the eeEdition of their sex, especially the poor among them Once the enterprise is thought fully entered upon, it is not to be con- jectured that congress will refuse ad- mission to the qualified teachers whom it would be necessary to attract to America for a proper establishment of the industry. Let a coterie of earnest, moneyed women be formed in each large city, obligated to support the industry by purchasing and wearing the lace locally produced, and another five years would see this gentlest of all strictly feminine occupations in a thriving condition.
