The WAY to Wear Jewels,

have suddenly achieved n new noto-

crept out OF their snowy beds in the

on women;s gowns and hats.
They are made of white velvet and

Moses and His Horns.

Did Moses have horns? Certainly
not, but if you have ever had the
pleasure of examining a copy of Mi
chael Angeles great picture of 'The
Lawgiver" you have wondered why
the great painter surmounted the pa
triarchal face, gray beard and becom-
ing priestly gown with pair Of horns
much resembling those of a two-year-
old animal of the bovine tribe. The
reason is this: Jerome's Bible, the
Latin Vulgate, tells that when Moses
came down from the mountain top his
face was radiant" (rayed) with the
great light shining from his pure soul.
In the Greek Septuagint the transla-
ton said it was "cornua," meaning
radiant" Jerome used this later YER
sion in making his Latin Vulgate and
translated "cornua" as "cornuta," the
last meaning horned. Angelo made
his picture accordingly.

Soil Living Organism.

Formerly the soil was regarded as
mineral matter. simply decayed rock
mixed with dead organic matter, says
an exchange. Now we know that the
soil is a living organism whose life
is as important as that of the animal
or the plant itself. If the soil be killed,
it is absolutely sterile. In other words,
if the life Of organisms which make
soil fertile are destroyed the soil is
incapable of producing a crop. Plants,
as rule, eat only mineral food, such
as phosphoric acid, potash and nitric
acid, but animals usually eat only or
ganic foods, such as fats, sugars and
protein matter.
