the slightest trace OF any fear Of death. The
idea never seemed to enter her mind. The
explanation OF this Is not far TO seek-all
who knew her well knew the reason for this
absence of the usual dread Of death. Her

has conquered death and brought life and
immortality TO light.
As neighbor, friend and mother, her life

johnson Grass.
, Orleans Democrat.

From the New orleans Iimes-Demociat'
1t Is not given to many countries to
boast that It's soil rs too fertile. and that
plants transferred to It bloom and grow
with too great luxuriance. This. however,
is the case in Louisiana, where nearly
everything fourishes better than 1t does
anywhere else, even in its native soil. 1t
will be remembered how a few years ago
gentleman of this state, pleased by an
aquatic plant, bearing beautiful purple
blossom, which he saw In Honduras,
brought the water hyacinth to Louisiana.
He threw, few bulbs into a tub in his
back yard; but the hyacinth. which grew
slowly in Central America, its original
home, spread SO rapidly in Louisiana that
1t soon became a great pest; filling our
lakes and streams. interfering with navi-
CATION, with logging, fishing and hundred
other industries.
Still later an enterprising planter of East
Carroll parish who had found cotton not
profitable determined to convert his PLAN
tation into a cattle ranch. He had heard
of Johnson grass as affording excellent
grazing In the west: and he bought guam
tity of 1t and planted 1t on his Louisiana
place. It did well, better than anticipated,
better than desired. The johnson grass.
encouraged by the rich ailuvial lands of
East Carroll to a growth 1t had never
known in the west. spread with great
IA pidity over the entire plantation, and
one of the leading agricultural problems in
Louisiana and the southwest ever since has
been how to get rid of it. When the in
creasing price of cotton led the introducer
of johnson grass to try and change his
crop to cotton, he set to work to extirpate
the grass. but his efforts Mere entirely un-
been kept VI, ever since, with only mod

Newspaper Doctors"

From the New York Globe.
British physicians are discussing with
considerable bitterness the propriety OF
granting interviews to the newspapers on
medical topics. The practice has been
growing in London, and the recent appear
ance of two such newspaper interviews
with two of London's most prominent prac-
titioners has brought the controversy to
head.
A representative organization of the med
ical profession recently made an unavailing
attempt to induce editors of newspapers
and weekly journals to abstain from men,
tionins the names Of physicians in connec-
ton, for instance. with the Illness of public
men. The attitude of the doctors is indi-
Gated by the Hospital. which says: The
voice Of the professions disclaims the mode
Of the advertiser, and in theory at least
offers its subscription to the view that pub
lie and professional interests are not pro-
NOTED by the expression of opinions on
medical topics by members Of the profess
sion In the columns of the lay press.
From the layman's point of view this
conservatism seems entirely unjustifable.
In the case of the Illness of great public
man It claims the right to know what Is
the matter with him. and his chance of re-
eovery. Regarding questions of public
health and sanitation. the opinion of lead
ing physicians Is expert testimony of the
highest vs!ue, whether published in the
musty archives of a medical society or IN

Alarm Clocks on Gravestones.
From. the American Inventor.

The Indians of Pala, in the foothills Of
the coast range in the southern part of the
state of California, were converted to the
Catholic faith by the Jesuits fathers. who
founded a mission among them. Though
some superstitions prevail, their belief in
the resurrection is strong.
Believing that the dead must remain for
some time In the grave. they observe ex-
actly the hour at which the spirit departs,
and the rude wooden cross over each grave
in the cemetery states the exact hsur. min
ute and day which the person died. Sus-
pended from the arms of one of the crosses
Is an alarm clock. with the hands set at
6:51. The alarm at the back of the clock
has been set at the same moment. The
person who places the clock there believes
that at the proper moment the alarm will
sound and will awaken the sleeping spirit.
Another alarm clock, that once hung from
the cross above it. has fallen down and
now Hes in damaged condition on the
ground Bottles, lamps. pitchers and other
pieces of crockery and glassware are also

Washing Day.
From the Boston Globe.


The Mayflower drifted into Massachusetts
bay and lay at anchor outside in a little
sheltered cove. The fathers had gone
ashore to see II there was a place suitable
for landing The morning was Monday
and it seemed that the old fashioned desire
to tidy up came over the hearts of the good
housekeeping women of the little band
The women were rowed to shore, and In
the cold, salty water OF the bay this Mon
day In November, 1920 the first ladies In
America washed and scrubbed In the good
English fashion, too. Fires were built wa
ter heated and clothes spread out on the
trees and snow. When all was finished to
the satisfaction of the women they sighed
with pleasure, and said: Cleanliness is
akin to Goodness"
Do you know this is history? Yes. II is,
though not as dry as history sometimes Is.
Anything Is history that shows the spirit
of the times. and this washday In America
showed the spirit of the first arrivals.

Sea Animals in Desert.
n The San Francisco Chronicle.

from the Ban Francisco Chronicle
scientists OF the University of California
VINO have been searching for prehistoric
animals on the Nevada desert for the last
few months have succeeded In finding skeIe-
tons of some sea mammoths on the dry
wastes. One of the specimens is twentys
nine feet long and, packed occupies fifty.
four boxes. This specimen was found on
the great forty-mile desert In Humboldt
county. and is considered one of the most
valuable fossils ever unearthed. Before
finding this one the scientists succeeded in
locating several smaller reptiles, which must
have lived In that region ages ago
The professors say that the deserts Of
Nevada are rich in such prehistoric relics.
and they intend to spend several weeks
more in research. The large sea animal
has been shipped to the University of CAL
ifornia and will be placed in the museum
of that college. The professors intended
to cover the whole state of Nevada before
returning to California, but SO numerous
have been their finds in the Humboldt
desert that they may confine their work In
that place alone.

American Clubs All Wrong.

From the Philadelphia Bulletin.
American clubs are few and small" said

radically wrong principle. This princi-
pie Is that club life is an extravaganza,
whereas the right principle of club life is
that 1t Is an economy
London is the club city of the world.
Why are London's clubs so splendid and SO
popular. Because man can dine. drink.
smoke and amuse himself in them almost
as cheaply as in his own house-far and
away more cheaply than iii cafe or n
hotel.
Hence. in London. every man desires to
join good club. for London cub is an
institution that actually saves its members
money. But here in America our clubs are
conducted extravagantly. and 1t is an ex-
travagance to belong to them. Only the
very prosperous American can afford TO be

Helpful French Wives.

nevertheless, IL is a remar kd Die TACT tEat
the proportion of unhappy French marriages
is comparatively small. The natural bent
of the average Frenchwoman is to be-
come the comrade and the friend of her
husband. She very frequently takes a keen
interest in his business affairs and Il does
not appear that the French method of mar
rylng young people, with its absence of
any preconceived affection, works as badly
as might be imagined.
The impression that a long residence IN
France and a close observation of the peo
pie have left upon me is that love, in the
sense that is generally attached to the
word, is not so frequent between married
couples as close and affectionate friendship.
The placing of the word love in the sac
ramental phrase which in France is read to
all persons about to contract marriage and
to which they are obliged to subscribe, will
not alter the above state of things.
1t is interesting, however, TO note that
the suggestion should have come from
playwright, and such an eminent literary
man, as NJ Paul Hervieu, for French play
wrights have for many years past done
their best TO ridicule and to discredit con-
jugal love
In broad French comedy the husband Is
invariably made to appear ridiculous; and
in the sociological plays now so popular in
France, marriage is distinctly depicted as
failure.
Since the time of Alexandra Dumas,
French novelists have steadily avoided the
honest sentimental love and happy ever
afterward'' stories 1t is no uncommon
thing to see young French girls of the
upper middle classes smile with indulgent
amusement at the naive love of Marius and
Cosette as told I'm Victor Hugo's Les Mis-
cradles" The modern girl cannot conceive
of love without material comfort, and the
weli-bred girl would never allow herself to
fall in love with an impecunious man.
All things considered therefore, 1t is per-
haps as well for the sake of true romance,
that Paul Hervieu's suggestion should be
adopted and that the word love" should
be inserted in the marriage ceremony.
