Another dead author Ii represented
in q posthumus voluIne. Sir Walter
Besant's name appears Son the title
page Of a collection of short stories
brought out not long ago. One Of the
stories IN this book. eHtitled The Sky
rocket" is tale of the kind Of novel
which makes an enormous popular sue
cess without possessing any particular
merit, and indicated that the author
was attempting to make some solution
OF the mystery. 1t Is a puzzle, however,
which is yet to be explained satisfac-
torfly. Not every literary sky rocket
Is a light weight, and perhaps every
sky rocket has some merit. In no other
way can one arrive at anything like a
reason for recent popular successes.
Sir Walter Besant's last novel, NO
Other Way" will be published this fall.
1t is story of the debtors prison in
England in the days when that institu-
ton hourished. The heroine of the tale
has only one way TO avoid inprison-
ment, her way Of escape is to marry a
criminal condemned to death. This she
does. The criminal in the case happens
to be negro and he succeeds in avoid
ing the death penalty. Much of the rest
OF the story may be imagined. It is not
a pleasant novel and lit will certainly
not receive a warm welcome among the
reading people Of the South

Mothers Who Are Blind.

A mothers blindness is proverbiaL
OF course we all know 1t is in reference
to her want Of perception in regard to
her children's faults that the saying
has arisen, but her blindness Is
evinced In many other ways as well.
An instance in point is the incompre-
hensible obtuseness which some over
proud parent frequently displays in
quoting remarks made by her sons and
aughters-speeches that she repeats
with evident pride in their persplcuity
and quick wittedness, but which not
only do not impress the nearer in the
way she intends, but actually present
her beloved offspring IN a distinctly UNI
favorable light. says the New York
Tribune.
DiSagreeable qualities which she
would be the first to detect and criti-
else In others when shown by her own
children she actually converts into at
tributes that she deems desirable and
proudly repeats their egotistical or un-
charitable speeches, quite unconscious

come from the roots mu and blu, ito

am, bull" the Turkle en-ek, Cow"
the Egyptian am, cattle" and the
Mongol buku, bull" but more dis
hnctive word is tor, which seems to
mean probably "horned" and which
appears not only as taurus, but as the
Semitic thor and the Mongol shor
The bull, whether tanned or Wild, was
no doubt well known to early man.
The names for goats are also sugges-
tive of connection and include the Ar
yam ais. the Semitic az and probably
the Akkadian w.
For sheep perhaps the oldest word is
the Egyptian ba, but there Is a word
for lamb which seems to be widely
distributed, as the Semitic kar, the
Greek kar and the Finnic kari, proba-
bly, from the root kar, to Enclose" or
guard" as meaning a herded flock.
From the same root come words for

The corset bag has become a part Of
ones underwear. 1t isn't really to
wear, but all who wear corsets should
know about it. This is a long, mar
row bag of silk or muslin. 1t should
be four inches longer than the corset
and Of exactly the same color. 1t Is
furnished inside with little scent bags
suspended from narrow ribbons, Into
this bag the corset is put at night, and
the string is drawn up. This serves
the double purpose Of protecting the
corset and pertaining it. More than
that, 1t hides the corset, and in case
1t is laid away one can tell at glance
the color of the corset that is inside.
