Nimbus, aureole and glory are
the three terms often used inditfer-
emily to describe the halo encircllng
the heads of holy persons in pic
lures. There is well marked dis
tinction between the terms, the OBJ
servance of which is of Importance
in Christian iconography. The term
nimbus is strictly confined to the
disk or halo which surrounds the
head, aureole to that which envei-
OPS the entire person, while glory
is by the best authorities applied to
the union of both. The nlmbus Is
of great antiquity. 1t is found IN
the art of India, Egypt and Greece
It's origin is supposed to be the east
In its Oldest known form it was the
attribute of the Egyptian sun god

The Pelican Made a Mistake.

A strange thing happened in St.
James park the other day. A pelll-
can was sitting on the rock which
forms it's usual roosting place, ap-
parently asleep, and a gull was
swimming close by in the water.
Suddenly the pelican darted out
its huge bill and picked the gull up
bodily. Up went the bill into the
air, and the gull disappeared into
the long pouch. The swallowing
capacity of the pelican was overtax-
ed, however, and one could see by
the moving pouch that a life and
death struggle was going on inside,
Ultimately the bill of the pelican
was lowered, the gull tumbled into
the water and swan away, shaking
its feathers. It then coolly percheC
on another rock a few yards away
from the pelican, looking none the
worse for its exciting experience

Wooden Silk,

The silk worm has no longer mo-
nopoly of the silk trade. Modern
competition has proved too strong
for it. The inventor of the artificial
process of silk making, Count Hilaire
de Chardonnet, has discovered that
the worm does not make silk at all.
What it really does is to mix the veg
etable contained in the mulberry
leaves which form its food with a
gummy secretion and then spin.
The real fabric of the silk, the count
maintains, is contained in the null
berry leaves, and the worm is simply a
sort of middleman. He, therefore,
erected machinery for macerating the
leaves and younger wood of the null
berry, orange and other trees which
he found suitable, and treated them
with preparation the chemical com
position of which is exactly the same
as the secretion of the silk worm.
By means of hydraulic presses an6
machinery for chilling the mixture by
electricity an artificial silk was OBJ
tanned which surpassed the lustre o
the natural product and was turned
out at less than one-quarter the price
It was also discovered that almos
any soft wood answered the purpos
as well as the comparatively rar
mulberry, so it would seem now to b
only a question of time before sill
can be purchased as low as from fif
teen to twenty five cents yard.

CH0CK FULL OF FUN.
ROW an Athletic Parson Amused and
Surprised a Cowboy.

A capital story is told of uni
yersity man who was the stroke oar
of his crew and an invincible athlete
on the football field
He entered the ministry and spent
years in missionary labor in the far
west. Walking one day through a
frontier town, a cowboy, bent on
having a lark, stepped up to him
and said:
''Parson, you don't have enough
fun. Take drink"
The minister declined.
"WeH, parson," he said, 'you
must have some fun. Here's card
saloon. Take hand in a game"
The minister declined.
"Parson," said the cowboy
"you'll die if you don't have some
fun"
And he knocked the parsons ha'
off his head and hit him on the ear.
The old athletes spirit rose. Th'
science which had been learned Il
earlier days and forgotten for
quarter of a century was aroused
and a blow on the jaw of that COW
boy sent him sprawling in the street
The parson walked over him a

FROM The ASHES
Baltimore Famiiy's Experience
Points a Moral to Residents Of
Barton.


Points Moral to Residents Of
Barton.
The visitor to Baltimore to-day
scarcely realizes that less than a year
ago the city was almost destroyed by
a memorable fire. A similar compar-
ison might be made by George w.
Nally, one of the leading citizens of
Baltimore, as to the change in his
own looks.
A short time ago, Mr.. Nally, writing
from his home address, 2213 Barclay
St., says 81 have been troubled for
years with catarrh and had resorted
to all remedies that could be thought
of. My wife was also afflicted with
this terrible disease, but all the treat
ments we used were an absolute
! failure until we tried Hyomel. Il
worked like a charm and has mace
complete cure in both of our cases
There is no disagreeable stomach
dosing in using Hyomei. We breath
ad - .,d its fragrance, so clean, pure
and bracipg, killed all the catarrhal
germs in the head, throat and lungs"
The experience of MIR. Nally and
his wife certainly points a moral to
all the readers of the MONITOR who
are suffering from catarrh. 1t shoe 6
how they can be cured of this fright
fnl disease, without dangerous stom-
acn dosing.
II. G. Pierce, the local agent fo1
Hyomei, has so much faith IN the
treatment that ne gives his persona
guarantee to refund the money Ii
case it does not benefit. A complet'
outfit costs one dollar, the extra bot
ties are bua fly cents. Ask TO Be-
the strong guarantees under which
Hyomei is sold.
