In Europe several persons now scdp-
lousy pay homage to the sun. and in
q learned journal, entitled L'Ecole
Nouvellc. one of them maintains that
the sun should be especially honOrcd at
Christmas.
christmas should be regarded as q
festival for the benefit of humanity, -
he says. ''In this way we can once
r. e become united with the Aryans,
ancestors, who worshped fire and
no celebrated the birth of the divine
constellation, who is the father of
light, of heat and of life"
He then suggests that the following
prayer be said daily:
20 thou who causest lies to vanish,
who drivest away the evil influence of
prodigies, of malignant predictions, of
dreams, and of wicked apparitions-O
thou who bringest to naught the plots
of the wicked, to thee we pray, Lord
Sun, since thou art the light of the
world"

1t is one thing to have a chair and
another to know how to sit Oh it. The
ideal of a graceful sitting posture has
varied In the different ages of the
world. The Egyptian sat bolt upright,
the knees and feet closely pressed to-
gether. 1t was the ceremonial atti-
tude. The Greeks and Romans, when
they We're at liberty to forget their
dignity, sat STOPPING, with one or both
elbows supported by the arms of the
chair.
The Chinese ideal was with the
knees and feet wide apart. They have
maintained that attitude in sitting for
400 years. The SaXons and early Nor
man kings are represented in old
manuscript and OH coins in the same
position. Down to a date compara-
lively recent kings and queens re-
ceived sitting stiftiy on their thrones,
any marked change of posture being
thought to derogate from the royal dig
nifty. They now receive standing.

Nearly all the lime Juice used in the
world comes from th" tiny island of
Muntserrat. in 'hc British West In
dies. The lime grows wild in many
West Indian islands, but only in Mont
serrat is il used commercially. That
island is one vast garden Of lime trees,
and nowhere III the world is there 4
finer sight than its thirty miles OF
orchards, laden with the fruit of the
lime or fragrant with its blossoms.
The fruit is gathered by negro wom-
en-, who carry it down the hills to
the shipping port in big baskets on
their heads. Like all West Indians.
they are remarkable for their ability
10 carry heavy weights in this manner.
Once the company which controls the
lime juice industry sought TO tighten
the burden of its laborers by introduc-
ing wheelbarrows.
The negroes filled the wheelbarrows
readily enough, and then carried them
on their heads as they had been used
to carry the baskets. Many a negro
woman will carry .hundredweight of
lines on her head for a distance of Il
mile or more.-Indian napolis News.

Here is the pretty legend which tells
why February has only twenty-eight
or twenty-nine days. Long ago, they
say, February was gambler, and he
was so unlucky that he soon lost ali
his money. Like other gamblers, he
tried to recover it. and he said to his
companions that If they would lend
him some money he would give them
as security one of his days. January
and March, who were naturally asso-
ciated with him more often than any
of the other months, accepted his Of
fer, and as poor February soon lost the
money which he had borrowed each of
them acquired one of his days.
That is why January and March have
each thirty-one days and February has
only twenty-eight in ordinary and
twenty nine in leap years.

The Very Eirst Lightning Rod.
Almost everybody believes that
Franklin was the inventor of the light
ming rod, ANA in this one particular
nearly cv"rybod. is mistaken. The
first lightning conductor was not in
vented by tne genius who is said 20
have Caught the lightning wild and
played with bolts of thunder" but
by poor Bohemian monk who lived
Mt Seuttenberg, who erected his light
ming catcher on the palace of the Gu
rator of Preditz. Moravia, on June 10,
1854. The name of this inventive
monk was Prohop Dilwisch. His ap-
paratus was composed of Il pole sur
mounted by an iron rod supporting
twelve curved branches and terminal
ing in as many metallic boxes filed
with iron ore and incloSed with a
wooden bOXlike cover. This was tray
ersed by twenty-seven iron pointed
rods, the bases of which were connect
ed with the ore boxes. This entire
system of wires was united with the
earth by n large chain.
The enemies of Dilwisch, jealous of
his success, excited the peasants of
the neighborhood against him, claiming
that his invention was the cause of the
dry weather that was running their
crops. When the inventor laughed at
them and refused to remove it they
put him in prison and then destroyed
his work
NJ. Nielsen used a triple pointed rod
years before Benjamin Franklin ever
thought of lightning rod

IN Orchid Tragedy.

Perhaps Madagascar has claimed
more orchid hunters lives and been
the scene of more revolving acts of
cruelty than any other place. Some
while seeking some specimens in the
forests of this island, was captured by
some of the native priests, who. after
covering him with oil. burned him
alive. Another collector who was
seized by some of the same priests was
allowed to choose between being burned
fagots on which lay another prisoner,
also an orchid collector, and thus saw
ing his own life. He chose the latter
alternative and died six months later

The CUSTOM of naming a ship when
1t is launched with the breaking of a
bottle of wine on the PROV is sur
vival of an ancient practice which had
many forms. In early times, when the
frame of a house was raised, the bot
tie of wine was broken OH the ridge
pole. The usage Is mentioned in Nc
Lellan's History of Gorham, Maine"
1t was the custom at a raising to
break a bottle of spirit on the ridge
pole and TO repeat some rhymes, nam
ing the Frame as it was called. When,
in 1889, Jacob II. Clement of West
GOrham raised n stable, John Phinney,
an old Revolutionary soldier who was
present, repeated the following lines,
which he said were used in naming
the frame Of Captain John Stephen
sons house and barn, which were
raised about 1916
