wher. tn. Ash Ire. Wa. Sacred.


The Celts and Germans and Scandina-
VANS worshiped the mountain ash. and It
is especially in the religious myths of the
latter that the "askr yggdrasip plays
4 prominent part. To them it was the
holiest among trees, the world tree"
which. eternally young and dewy, repre-
scented heaven, earth and hell. According
to the Edda, the ash yggdrasil was an
evergreen tree. A specimen Of It grew at
Upsala, In front Of the great temple, and
another in Dithmarschen. carefully
guarded BY a railing, for II was, in a
mythical way. connected with the fate
Of the country. When Dithmarschen lost
its liberty, the tree withered. but q mag
pie. one Of the best prophesying birds Of
the north, came and built its nest on the
withered tree and Matched five little ones,
all perfectly white, as a sign that at
some future time the country would re-
gain its former liberty.-Deutsche Rund-
schau.

A furrier is thus quoted In the Phfla-
delphia Record: THE styles In sealskin
coats change 80 often that women are
constantly having them made over. Few
people realize Just what this means to
us. OF course 1t means an increase In
business, but l don't mean that. The
cutting of sealskin Ii an art In itself. and
the men who do It are experts and get
experts salaries. The work Of seal
skin cutter must be almost as delicate
as that of a diamond cutter. This may
sound like an exaggeration. but 1t isn't
at least, not so much as you might
think. The slightest error on the part Of
the workman who is handling an ex-
pensive skin Ii nothing short Of cetas-
trophe."
