The exception to the rule that funer-
ais are among the most solemn Of hui
man customs occurred at q burial In a
Quaker settlement
An aged and highly respected man in
the community died, and the funeral
was largely attended. In a room filed
with relatives and friends of the dead
sat an old farmer, whose cough, like
some Of the ailments that afiiict hu-
mans, was especially aggravated when
the mourners were quietest.
He made several efforts to control the
hectic spasms; but, being blunt In dis
position and not the least self con-
scious, he did not realize that he had
the nerves of half of the room on edge
and consequently did not worry himself
about stopping the cough. Much an
noyed, but full of sympathy, a spinster
lady, neighbor. who sat behind him,
plunged her hand quietly into an an
cient reticule and, drawing out some.
thing in her hand, passed it to him.

The farmer took 1t rather Indifferent

One of the greatest cures at the sani-
tariums established all over the coun-
try is the simple sun bath. The solar
heat gives TO the whole system a
strength and vigor which no nourish-
ing food can impart- 1t is so essential
to our health and happiness that when
1t is taken away from us we become
weak, run down and pale. But when
we go out into the warm sunlight again
new strength and health come to us.
The sun bath Is essential. Take 1t ev-
cry day. Cut down the trees that are
so close TO the house that they obscure
the sun and have every living room
flooded with light. If one is forced to
stay indoors all day try to get neal
the sunny window where the full ef-
fects of the sunlight can be felt. II
will cure neuralgia. nervousness, faint
ness. weakness and n dozen other com
plants. 1t will give color and beauty
TO the complexion by making the blood
better and purer. The purest and pret
tiest compilations are those which are
wind swept and sun Drowned during
the summer time. and not those which
come from a dark room.

DR.. JeSSup on
Changes In Turkey.

Rev. DIR. Henry II. Jessup, of Bel
rut, writes that a Moslem emir at
Cairo, Egypt, has lately published a
book called 'sThe New Woman" in
which he advocates a reformation
that would be nothing short of rev.
olution in Islam. He would abolish
polygamy. the segregation of the
sexes in the home, and the feminine
veil. Although this would set up in
the very heart of the Mohammedan
citadel wholly new standard of or
thodoxy, the mufti of Cairo has pub
licly indorsed the work. DIR. Jessup
baptized four Mohammedan young
women a week before sailing from
Syria, and spent the evening before
leaving home preaching in a room
crowded with Mohammedan men, 1t
is scarcely possible to keep the print
ing presses running fast enough to
supply the demand for Bibles in all
the languages of the Turkish Empire
DR.. Jessup, having been in Syria
forty-seven years, and being known
to leading statesmen and diplomats
of both America and England, has
obtained a footing from which the
Sultan himself could hardly dislodge
him, and his work has reached that
stage where it is secured by its roots
in the hearts of the people even
when unsupported by imperial firman
The New Turkey" which does not
seem to be so remote as our fathers
feared, will be largely controlled by
the graduates of the six American
colleges now in operation at Beirut,

know the doctor know that he Is OF

The Acanthu. In Archit.c,,r..

Vitruvius, Roman architect and en-
gineer who fiourished In the reign Of
Augustus Caesar, tells the following
story:
Callimachus. a Corinthian architect.
was one day sitting, lost In thought. in
a burial place just outside the city
when bis attention was drawn to the
tomb Of a Corinthian maiden Of hum
BILE birth. The friends Of the child had
placed on her grave a basket Of her
toys, and this, covered with a tile to
keep out the rain, was placed over an
acanthus root.
The leaves Of the plant had closely
surrounded the basket until they reach
ed the tile, when they had curved out
ward and downward very gracefully.
This SO struck the fancy Of CALI
machus that he set about initiating the
figure. His attempts eventually re-
suited in the invention Of the Corinthi-
an style, i'm which the vase of the cap
ital represents the basket, the abacus
the tile, and the volutes the bending
leaves.
The era OF Callimachus is uncertain,
but as the Corinthian column was used
by Scopas, the architect of the temple
of Athena Alea at Tegea about 1874
B. c., he must have lived before that
time.
