proverbs

When the butter won't
come put a penny in the
churn," is an old time dairy
proverb. It often seems to
work though no one has ever
told why.
When mothers are worried
because the children do not
gain strength and flesh we
say give them SCOTS Emul-
sion.
1t is like the penny in the
milk because it works and
because there is something
astonishing about it.
SCOTS Emulsion is simply
a milk of pure cod liver oil
with some hypophosphites
especially prepared for delicate
stomachs.
Children take to it naturally
because they like the taste
and the remedy takes just as
naturally to the children be-
cause it is so perfectly adapted
10 their wants.
For all weak and pale and
thin children SCOTS Emulsion
; the most satisfactory treat.

The Halo Of Romance Surrounding
Some Regal Blooms Com

If there is any popular fallaey
that ! should love to puncture, i,
is the amjable dciusion that nj
orchids are worth q thousand dol
lars Al pot. Gays a writer in Coun-
try Life in America.
Great was my surprise, some
years ago, when met suburban
tie of modern income who grew
orchids that were the talk Of the
town in q little 10x12 greenhouse
AS his wife was too mnch OF al

Usually no great disaster had be
fallen.
And in February, If you were
lucky enough to be invited to his
snug little greenhouse, while u
winter storm ragged outside, yo!
would be likely to find some gor
geous eatteyas, with perhaps q
flowers on plant and each flower
fully eight or nine inches across
You should have heard the IL
dies excla:in: GLOW do Won grow
these lovely orchids. Mr. H"
"O, ihe kinds ] cultivate are a.
easy 10 raise as any other plants. !"
"But don't you have to have a

able? Don't all those tropical or

"Not the kinds that grow high

found In Guatemala that worries
the wecvil to death il 1t has a
chance. so this government will
send TO Guatemala and buy ants.
There Is never doubt. says the
Brooklyn Eagle, that Guatemala
will CELL them willingly. If they are
as troublesome as most Of the ants
In warm countries. and they will
be- domesticated In the gulf states.
Bat then arises the question:
Suppose they should be equally
troublesome here? Suppose that,
after eating the weevi's. they
should spread over the whole Mis-
sissippi valley, forcing their way
into the houses and driving the in
habitants into exile In the wood
shed? SupposinC that they mine
the wood of buildings so that the
buildings come down in clnnd OF

ATHLETICS OF THE SYRlANS
American Games and Sports Find

Oriental people are very avcrsc
to physical exercise of any kind.
Their idea of enjoyment is TO sit
under an awning and play BACK
CANNON. says the World Today.
That Il man should go out and run
around track In Shameless ma
kedness, and this with no hope of
gain, only confirms them in the
belief that ell Americans are mad.
But they are initiative peaople.
and some years ago the influence
and example Of the younger teach
ers got q few Of the preparatory
boys out for foot races. That day,
for Beirut, at least. the death
blow was struck to the pictur
esque dress Of the orient. You
can't run a hundred yard dash
with long, baggy drawers and a
silk gumbez that fops around
your ankles. Even If You "gird up
the ioins." by tucking your skirts
into the sash, the effect is more
startling than speedy so, one by
one, the students ordered trousers
from the city tai!ors. AZ nrst
they were poorly cut and viewed
with suspicion; but to-day there
are not three men in the ooilegi
Ate department who wear the old
costume. and many OF the stu
dents dress with taste and an ele
gancc1tbat their professors can
not afford to emulate.
Tennis and basket bali soon
won their place in the students
favor; and now we have gymnas-
tic apparatus and regularly
graduated athletic director, who
has armed physical culture and
boy nature through a long expert
enee In the gsuinas:ums OF Amer.
lea. But it was football that did
the most toward unitication. The
value ofteam woa k il new idea to
eastern college men. The old ideal
was that Of every man for him
self" II has been so since the days
Of Alcihiades and Ahsolom. If it
had not been 30 tho history Of the
world might have beer different.
1t was comparatively easy to see
the JOY of winning n foot race or
a tennis match: but to plaS an IN
theatrical part In football game,
obeying captain and working
for the good Of the side; that was
a very different thing,

DATE PALMS IN AMERICA.
4alton Basin In California Is Better
Adapted for Their Culture
Than the Sahara.

The attempt to cultivate IN Cal
if0rnie and Arizona the Alger:an
late palm seems TO hare beer
fairly successful. One of thes,
days, perhaps, all the dates which
can be consumed in this country
will be raised here. Waiter I
Swingler declares, IN bulletin o.
the department of agriculture
that the soil in the Iaost arid re
gions Of the United States Is par
iiculariy suitable TO the growth o.
the trees about which he talks.
According to q summary OF this

siye dryBess of the air, the a.
sence of all rainfall for months al

and even the hot. dry winds that
blow in desert regions. are not
dra wbacks. as in almost all other
cultures. but positive advantages
to the date palm, enabling it TO
mature fruit Of the highest excel
lence." Nor does alkali injure the
SOIL. The author shows that the
Salton basin in California ..is not
only the most promising region IN
the United States, or in North
America. for the culture OF the
lest sort of dates. but that it is
actually better adapted for this
profitable culture than those parts
Of the Sahara desert where TIE
best exported dates are pro
dueed." 1t is shown to be prob
able that this ssngle region Is ca
pabie of producing dates enough
to supply the demand for the
whole country Other regions IN
California. Nevada. Arizona, New
Mexico and Texas are discussed,
the conclusion being that in all
these states date palms Of certain
varieties may be. grown with
profit.
From the bulletin II appears
that there are three principal
types OF dates cultivated by the
Arabr-viz.. soft dates which
are worry sugary and include the
sorts with which we are familiar:
"sour dates" which contain a
much lower percentage OF sugar,
not enough, In fact, to preserve
them; dry dates" which are not
at all soft or sticky when ripe,
and which may he stored and kept
indefinitely. None OF the last.are
to Ike found In tho American mar.
Eets. and scarcely ans ~ tho see

variety which hears the name of
sneglet Moor IL the most famous
1t is very late in maturing. but
Yields fruit of great excellence.
We are assured that this variety
can be grown in the Salton Basin.

THE CREATION or WOMAN.
Legend Of the Orient Which Reflects
Much Upon the Dignity
Of the Bex.

Here Is the legend told among
the Turkish peasants, explaining
the origin Of women, says the Los
Angeles Times.
Allah made First Man, then dis
covered that he VAS incomplete.
81 must make Woman said Al
lab. SO he sent for the Archangel
Michael, and said to him:
II find that Man IL incomplete
Go you to Paradise. and take from
Man one rib, and from that l shall
make Woman
70 Micln.el hurried to Paradise
and found First Man asleep, and
took rib from him. Then he set
out on his return to Heaven. But
on the way he met the Devil, who
said:
what have you there, Mi
chael"
"a bone" he answered, 'sfrom
which Allah shall fashion WON
an"
Let me look at it," said the
Devil.
But Michael would not, where
upon the Devil tried to take it, and
the two fought for possession Of
First Mans rib. Finally the Devil
broke away and ran with he rib III
his hand Michael gave chase.
and they ran around the world
sc veral times.
Then the Devil saw a hole 10 q
rock and BE divcd in, But the hole
was too small, and he stuck fast
inside, leaving only his tail out
side. Michael pulled the Devils
tail TO get him out, and the levii
yelled inside, but he couldn't get
out. And, although Michael
tugged for several days, he could
rot pull out the Devil, nor could he
reach in and get the rib. So lie
pulled ont a knife, cut off the Pew
ipa tail and hurried on to Heaven.
"What have you there cried
Allah.
Then Michael told his story. and
Allah was very angry. But he
made the best of it, and fashioned
Woman ont of the Devils tail in
stead OF First Mans rib.
