The Crescent ms an Emblem.


The crescent has been known since
time out of memory. In ancient my
thology it decorated the foreheads OF
Diana and of Astarte. the Syrian We
nus In the days of Rome's greatest
glory the ladies wore it as an Orna-
ment in their hair. Since the founda-
ton of Constantinople, the ancient By
zantium, it has been the emblem of the
city and as such adorns it's walls and
public buildings. besides being stamp
ed on its coins and postage. The legend
which accounts for it's universal adOp-
ton in Turkey, and Constantinople in
particular. is as follows:
Philip of Macedon laid siege to the
city in the year $40 b. c. He chose n
night of unusual darkness for the pro-
posed assault, but was foiled by the
moon suddenly breaking from behind
Il cloud. In commemOration of this
providential deliverance the crescent
was adopted as the symbol Of the city.
The Mohammcdan sultans We're slow
to assume this emblem until some one
mentioned that it was the symbol of
increasing greatness, power changing
as rapidly as the phases of the moon.

TRAMPs ON THE CARS.

The box car is often entered by

A story of Stevenson.

Robert Louis. Stevenson was par
ticularly attached to the "v" in his
name and utterly averse to the ''ph"
form of spelling. Letters of admiring
autograph hunters did not often draw
him, but one day in Samoa a letter ar
rived containing praise so judicious
that he said, THAT 1 must answer"
Then his eye caught the envelope, adj
dressed to r. L. Stephenson. "Step
hence, Step-ben-son!' he cried and,
crumpling the offending missive, flung
il on the fire.

but do not let it boil if you wish TO pre-
serve its delicacy of taste.
Drip coffee is made in the same way,
except that the coffeepot is two stories
high. and in the upper section the wa
ter is poured over the grounds, allow
ing them TO filter through sieve.
n simple way of making drip coffee
consists in allowing the hot water ket-
tie TO come to boil, then putting the
coffee into bowl and pouring over it
the boiling water. The bowl is next
placed in the opening of the boiling
kettle and covered with saucer. The
coffee is ready in about ten minutes.
No true epicure Will allow his coffee
to be poured into a china coffeepOt.
This changing of pots wastes too much
